AN ASTOUNDING WEApON.-Mr.
Holkey, of Passiac City, N. J has fpS
National Republican., 1876-01-17

THERE is great waste Of sentiment
Just now over this amnesty business. 1t is
of but little consequence whether JEFF.
Davis is pardoned or not so far as it con-
Germs him or any one else Of this genera
ton The Union-loving people can afford
10 forgive everybody now in their strength
ard the exuJcrance ofthcir joy over the cen.
tCnnial of tho birth of the nation. But this
is n0t the question TO be considered. What
we should inquire into now is the effect of
i general amnesty upon the stability of
our Republican institutions in the future
What kind al Republic will we have in
1876 If we GO on allowing officers in the
army and members Of both houses of
Congress and civil service officers to plot
treason against the Government to which
they have sworn allegiance, and when
that treason is ripe let them resign their
positions and quietly go over and take up
arms against US and fight US as
long as they can, and then return
once more to their old places?
Can we expect a Government to be
lasting toward which we exact no more re-
spect than this? Is not such conduct
making of this popular form Of government
of ours a mere toy, q plsything? No man
who yielded to the voice and entered the
service of treason, while under the oath to
serve the Government OF the United
States, ought ever to have had his disabili-
ties SO removed as TO permit him to resume
his old position f.hOnor. trust and profit
under the Government. This general re-
moval of disabilities does not attach the
slightest odium to treason, unless it is
coupled with the conditions Of request for
pardon and the oath OF allegiance. These
conditions should precede all amnesties.
But officers in the army and navy and
members of Congress should have been ex-
cepted even from these conditions. What
guarantees have we that the same game
will not be tried again at the first favor
able opportunity! None in the world.
Now, in all seriousness, we ask if this is
not making the Government of the United
States too cheap? What will be the i'm
preston made by this amnesty record upon
the minds OF the next generation in regard
to the crime of treason? What penalty at
tachcs TO il? Disfranchisement for ten
years! An expenditure of one million of
lives and ten thousand millions of treasure,
and no odium, no capital punishment. 1t
is saltogether too cheap.

Senator Lamar.
Mississippi Pilot.


The Hon. L. Q. c. Lamar spoke in the hall
of the Honse of Representatives last evening.
His address was filled with the usual Demo-
cratic abuse Of the Republican Administra-
ton, both State and Federal. The Democ-
racy were given large share of praise for
their noble and heroic action in the recent
election, and then just complimented on gene
raj principles. The Senator explained his eulogy
on the death of Hon. Charles Sumner. He said
that when he first took his seat in Congress he
saw that his situation as Southern Represent
atiye was a delicate and difficult one. The
people of the North suspected the motives of
the South, and no Southern man could reach
the Northern ear. Just at this time bril-
liant Northern man, one dear to the Northern
people, departed this life, and it occurred to
him that while the Northern heart was shaded
and soitened with sorrow he might deliver
message Of sympathy from the South and at the
same time establish her in the affection of the
North. lie meant every word he spoke on that
occasion. Charles Summer ina gined he was act

REFERRING to the Centennial ap2ropri-
ation, the Louisville COWrier-JouTpal says:
"It would he the veriest mockery for our
people to takr part in any jubilation over the
Centennial anniversary of American freedom
while the ban of the Government rests on one
lnsn in the South"
The Pittshurg Commercial, good Repub-
lican and Pennsylvania authority, quotes
this infam"us paragraph with the following
appropriate eminent:
"The UniH" clement Of the country is not as
vet, we take II, quite prepared ito sell amnesty
for 4 mone;s~, consideration as the Chicago
Tribune tero'.iS puts it, or barter away its be-
lief in prin,jr for the sake of donation to
the CeuIeluAi Exhibition. The scheme of
the Confedu5.,aa blackmailers will fail. The
North has long since given up the habi! of
travelling upn1 It's knees"
National Republican., 1876-01-17

THERE are some Southern Republicans
in the House who feel compelled by their
past record to vote for universal amnesty,
including jeff Davis. But they do not
feel compelled to assist the Democrats in
DISTINGUISHING and degrading the Republi-
can side of the House by refusing to them
universal amnesty. The rules of the
House are rigid and plain. The custom of
the majority has been to accord to the
minority the right Of amendment. No
bill passed within the past fifteen years ex-
cluded amendment; but now it is proposed
by a Democratic majority to exclude the
minority from that right, and the Southern
Republicans do not propose now to lose
their identity in the House by yielding it.
Mr.. Randall may as well understand,
then, that he can have vote on his bill
if he will yield the privilege to the minor
ity Of voting on an amendment. If he
declines this he will find his two-thirds
vote 4 rough and rugged hone.

The pyr..-"rhnic member of the Confed-
crate Hon., nj Representatives from the
Sixteenth a:-rrict of Illinois, Sparks by
name, sta, on Friday, in the House, that
there are nineteen pension agents in the
State of Ii!arnis. If the gentleman will
furnish US the names Of the nineteen pen
sion agents in his State we will guarantee
that sixteen OF them shall be dismissed and
sixteen of his political friends appointed in
their places. The utter ignorance of the
whole pension business displayed by the
Hon. VIM. A. J. Sparks, in his two min
utes' speech, is something inexcusable in
view of the fact that the regulations and
statistics governing that branch of the SER
vice are so well known to intelligent per-
sons and so easy of access to the ignorant.
The brilliant Sparks should be sure of his
facts before he attempts to pitch into
branch of the service relative to which he
displays such stupid ignorance.

A Card from Mr.. Lawrence.

WAsHINGToN, d. e., Jan. Is. 1876.
To the Editor Of The National Republican:
SIR: THE REPUBLICAN of this morning con-
tains the following:
"Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, who voted for the Ran
dsii resolution liking the term Of the ne Presidency
tional amendment, has taken the back track.
The vote on Wednesday In the Judiciary Com.
OF the six Yesterday he made a motion in com
mittee TO limit the time to four years and make
the eftice Ineligible for second term during the
life Of the occupant"
This as applied to me is a mistake. If any
other member of the committee has changed
his opinion, 1 have not, though 1 would hest
tate to do so if became satisfied I was
wrong.
During the last session Of Congress the
House agreed to a proposition to amend the
Constitution, making the Presidential term
six years, with ineligibility to a reelection,
by 4 vote of 134 to 104.-Cong. Record, VOL 5,
part /, page T6l. 1 voted for it. In the Judi
ciary Committee at this session favored the
same amendment, and voted for a proposition
declaring that If the term was retained at four
years the President should be eligible to re-
election once.
There are many Offices where the experience
of the incumbent becomes so valuable that the
interests of the people require many re-elec-
tions. 1t is in such cases better to retain tried
and experienced men-not for their sake, but
for the public i,lteyeSt-rather than turn them
out, merely to crafty the desires of inexpe-
rienced men, even though of respectable tai
ent. The experience of a President in his Office
will generally become valuable, and the people
may find it desirable to retain him for more
than four years. The chief reason for limit
ing the number of terms is that the power and
patronage of this office, Nllike all others, may
be used to such an extent as to control the
popular will, and in times of excitement this
might degenerate into more than peaceful
measures to accomplish the object. All things
considered, the propositions l favored seemed
to me correct, though other gentlemen, for
whose judgment | entertain high respect, pre-
sent forcible reasons for other views.
Respectfully, WM. LAWRENCE.

YUBA DAM, CAL, Jan. /, 1875, !
Editor NeIr York Sun:
Sir: On this Centennial anniversary our
club has honored the SIN by changing its
name from Yuba Dam to Sun. For two years
the club has been in existence, and has met
regularly every night for the discharge of the
duties deyslving on its members. During the
mast wear, before the close of each meeting
The editorials of the Stta have been read, and
the unanimous verdict of the entire club Is
that the highest honors should be paid its
editor, Our club was formed with the idea
that It contained the most consummate and
educated liars in existence, but the Sun so far
exceeds the best of US in the variety and
grandeur of its lies that we accord it the
highest honor. We would be pleased to have
q portrait of the editor-inchief of the Sun to
sdorn our clubroom.
With great admiration of your transcendent
abilities as liar, l remain, in behalf of the

we can give for it is that dead niggers make
