GENERAL Amnesty had vote in the
House of Representatives, and receiv-
ed 102 yeas to 81 nays. That there
should be 81 men in the House who
favor the policy which politically dis
abIes handful of ex-rebeis may seem
amazing, and even discouragins- But
then, the affirmative side of the ques-
ton received an unprecedentedly
large support. 1t takes ,wo-thirds
vote to give us General Amnesty, SO
the bill did not pass; but, taken with
the vote on the bill to remove Mr..
Eamar's disabilities, the tone of the
proceedings shows that the day is not
very far off when wise and Just
measure will sweep away the last
relics of an old revenge.-1ribune.

Extraordinary Stretch of Pow

Mr.. Carpenter has given notice of a
bill which goes very far toward the
new empire. 1t is to dispense with
the consent heretofore givGlg by the
States, and to allow the Federal Gov
ernment to condemn at pleasure any
ground they may need in a state for o
public purpose. The plea for this bill
is that the Government has been una
BILE sometimes to acquire ground for
sites, because lunatics and minor chill
dren could not make title. 1t is urg-
ed against this bill that the States
have never refused to give all needful
aid to the United States in such cases,
and that the bill is wholly unnecessa-
'ry, as well rs an extreme stretch of
power. If the power to condemn
land for q post-ofiice is granted, it is
argued, why not the power for post
roads, and then the government will
have the footing for the building ola
system of. railroads, as already sug-
gested by Ben. Butler and other poll
ticians.

A Model Republican State.

What South Carolina is at the pres
ent time she owes pretty much to the
Radical party who have maintained
over her people the rule of the carpet-
baggers and plunderers. 1t is model
Republican State, and presents aloye-
ly picture to the contemplation of the
intelligent American people. A cor
respondent of the Wheeling Register
gives the following picture of the men
who are set up as rulers over the des-
TIMES of that State:
The President of the Senate is a
negro the Speaker of the House is .
negro two-thirds of the members of
both houses are negroes; the Chair
man of nearly every important COM
nlittee is q negro door-keepers, mos
sengars and other attaches are negroes !;
the Clerk of the House is negro ;the
acknowledgements is negro (con-
Wet in the United States Court the
State Treasurer, and in fact all the
State officers but two, are negroes ;the
members of Congress are ali negroes
except one, and the few whites associ-
ated with this ignorant and degraded
set look meaner than the darkies them
selves. There are members who can
not sign their names; others who have
dabb,ed r little in the spelling-book
but are indeed pendent and original
enough, whenever they attempt to
write, to spell every word in a way
of their own, unlike any way known
to Webster or the printing-office ; 9TH
ers who have figured in the criminal
courts of their respective counties,
and if they do not understand a de-
murrer they are by no means ignorant
of The bars, and the body entire may
be considered always excepting
few Democrats) as mass of Ignorance
and brutality. One glance at the con-
Germ is enough to secure an indorse-
ment of this verdict from an impartial
and intelligent looker-on.

Two highly significant facts in con-

are referred TO in our Washington
special. During the entire progress
of the deviltry there, from its wick

summation. not a single voice has
been raised in Congress against it !;
and now that the matter has been
brought before the Supreme Court no

the fact that its judgment is under-

WE collect from customs two hum

hundred and thirty millions. Why,
then, is not the whole Internal Reve-

ment should not cost dollar over
seventy millions year, and it would
not go beyond that if it were an eco
nomical administration. We don't
believe, therefore, with General Grant
who says in his message that the taxes
cannot be reduced at this time. They
can, or ought to be, cut down largely.
The country is literally groaning nm
der their weight. The only things
not taxed are government bonds, and
it is the policy of the Administration
to have them exempt while clamering
for taxes from the owners of all other
kinds of property.-Enq.

York had AN interview with Mr.. Gree
ley which he thus narrates
BY appointment not of my seeking, |
had the honor of an interview, this morn
ing, with gentleman 1 have long been
perfectly acquainted with, hut never saw
before, to-wit the gentleman who is now
setting the fashion Of white hats. Had
space, 1t would puzzle me to tell my read.
ers anything new about Mr.. Greeley. He
was very frank in his talk in the main,
and followed his example, and told him
the South would go for him, IL we could
do no better, 70 beat Grant but we
thought we could do better and were go
ing to give it a fair trial. The old gentle
man pleased me as II man. but / was stun.
ned I have an idea that he has in him
the stuff TO make u bully democrat,
could we get him in proper training. Ard
| am ready to swear that had he been
Southern born and bred, he would have
slept with acockade in his night cap and
have been n "red-hot, y before-breakfast
secessionist. / do not think he would
have clicked his niggers hard. for he
has benevolent lookout as Grant has
said about himself, he would have just as
soon owned slaves as any other kind Of
property.

A LITTLE GAME.

Gen. Logan, by his next friend, Hon.
d. w. Mum, endeavored to not allow the
State Convention to instruct for Gen.
Grant. Gen. Logan expected, If he could
have got the Illinois delegation without
instructions into the Philadelphia conven.
ton, to have been able to carry off the
radical nomination for president, himself.
Any one who will look at the character Of
the delegates, many Of whom are anti
Grant men, and Of the electors, many Of
whom are also anti-Grant men, and Of the
members of the central committee, many
of whom are also anti-Grant men, will see
how nearly Gen. Logan and Mr.. Mum
accomplished the intrigue in which they
were engaged. 1t is a well-known fact,
that Mr.. Linegsr, one Of the electors at
large, is a bitter anti.Grant man, and has
pledged his word of honor, that IL the con-
test is between Grant and Greeley, he will
vote for the latter, and It Is also known
that Mr.. Pope, the member Of the central
committee for this district, Is also an anti.
Grant man. These two men are law part.
ners Of Mr.. Mum, who secured for them
these positions and when it ia remem-
bered that Mr.. Mum also attempted to get
Babcock, another anti.Grant man, on the
committee, even the most obtuse must
perceive that he attempted to play 20 little
game" which, IL II had succeeded, would
not have been very profitable to the
President.

HON. s. s. MARsHALLS LETTEI

HON. s. S. MARSHALLS LETTER
This morning We publish letter from
Hon. s. s. Marshall to the editor Of the
BULLETIN, in reply to a charge that he
and other democrats had pulled wires to
to secure the nomination Of Judge Davis
at Cincinnati, and were at the wire pull
ing business again to force that ambitious
gentleman upon the democratic party
through tho Baltimore convention.
We had no desire to do Mr.. Marshall
injustice. but believed we were justified
in our manner of characterizing hi. sup
port Of Judge Davis. He, Mr.. Robinson
and Mr.. Crebs, had been, we believed, Mr..
Storey's principal supporters in the Davis
movement, and thought they had left
their seats in congress to attend the Gin
cinnau convention and "pull the wires
(the Judge must permit US to say for their
friend who had become smittcn with the
presidential malady, SO destructive OF
modesty and everyday usefulness. We
concluded-led by our mistaken knowl
| edge Of Mr.. Marshalls disposition-tha,
he Mr.. Robinson and Mr.. Crebs, with
others, had followed Mr.. Storey in his
raid upon Mr.. Greeley, and had united
with that Ishmaelitc of the Press to ut.
tempt TO ruin if they could not control
We are gratihed by the information con-
tanned IN Mr.. Marshalls letter, that We
have been mistaken in this matter, and
that he does not fight under the flag OF the
Piratical Politician OF the Times concern
that he does not fear tho lash OF that un
patriotic fellow, who has no regard 70,
country or party, but exerts an inauenc,
over men of even more decided character
than Mr.. Marshall by Aourishing his edi
tOrial bludgeon with loud threats ant
deep curses.

"LET US HAVE PEACE

In his letter to THE BULLETIN" Judge
Marshall makes an eloquent appeal fol
peace in the Democratic party, which, We
are sure, will be applauded by every well.
wisher of the republic. TO accomplish
tho results We desire, there must be peace
III the party; and how to obtain it is the
problem now in process of solution. All
the Bourbons of the A. II. Stephens
school, are crying, Let US have peace
let us say nothing in Mr.. Greeley's favor;
let us place entire reliance upon the wis
dom of the Baltimore convention; and,
that it may do precisely right, send US as
your representatives to that convention"
All the pestiferous and sordid politicians
Of the New York World school--the
rascals who have manipulated the
party for years in their own in
terest--are also loud in demands for peace
IN the party. "lf you Greeley men will
keep quiet and let us talk" they say, call
will be serene in the party; there will DO
peace All the democratic desperadoes
OF tho Storey school-the democratic
boys who wear soap locks and have on
their shoulders chips, which they are
anxious to have knocked of, and long
coat tails, which they desire to have
"tramped on the anti Greeley rowdies
who are about rs lawless US their Leader
the Ishmaelite, Storey, are also shouting /:
Let US have peace. Just you Greeley
mon dry up and all will be lovely; ws
want peace, but We must dictate its terms"
This il the situation, and what are the
meek and lowly Greeley democrats to do
about ~ They, too, are for peace, and
are Of all men in the world tho most in.

words,"I am not Greeley man." The
Judge should not longer wander about
among the pitfalls Of Grantism. His
place Is in The ranks Of the Liberal men Of
the country, and, If he were not one If
the best men in tho world, we should be
tempted to round of our invitation. to

Of certain people being permitted to re-
