Tho Fremlmon's Bureau ta aLu directed to lusla’nlly restore abandoned lands to the owners who ure, or may he, pardoned by the President, on compensating the cultivators fur growing crops. TIiomi instructions of Air. Johnson open tho door to every person in the South l<* get possession again of land owned by him, which has not boon confiscated and hold by duo process of taw. Ami in in spect to much nl that which tin gono through the forms of confiscation, wo are d' opinion that, upon suit brought by (he iriginal owner to recover ponsetslon, Ihe ourts will hold that the decree of con- Intimation is defective, and has not Vested the logal title in tho present lioldor. \V« do not bellevo that on© in ten of the Allies m the South, acquired by the forms id' confiscation, will bland the teat of legal Investigation. Clearly they will not, if Mr. Johnson'* reported legal proposition, that tho owner must flr.-t bo convicted of treason, bo a sound one. Tho limitation of each one of tho bureaus which htvo sprung up in Washington in the la*d four years is a public blessing. Wo hope, very soon, to see them all swept away—and, tlrst of nil, tho lluroau of Military Justice, Mo*i«of them aro now mere loafing place? for pet* and partisans of Stanton, who, without doing an hour of labor, absorb thousand - upon thousand* of tho public treasure. Tho action of Abe President, in respout to restoring to the Southern people their lauds, stands out in splendid relief when contrasted with tho monstrous policy de manded by tho radicals. It will aid to appreciate tho firmness of President John- son if wo reproduce tho following extract from the recent speech of Mr. Tbnddou Stevens: “But wo propose to confiscate all tbo estato of every rebel belligerent who-n (state was worth $10,000, or whose land exceeded 200 acres in quantity.

Tho rebellion would never have originated with thorn. Fortunately those who would ihusoscapo form a largo majority of the pooplo, though possessing but a small Portion of the wealth. The proportion of those exempt compared with the punished would )««, 1 bet about nine-tenths. “There are about h,000,000 of froedmeo in the South. Tho number of acres of land is i<Kk00Q,UU0. Of this, those who own above *200 acros each number about 70,000 persons, holding, in tlu* aggregate, U-'gethcr with tho Stales), about 304,000 Oik) acres, leaving for all the other* bokn. •J00 each about 7l,000,(XHJ acres. By thus forfeiting the ostalesof the leading rebel*, the Government would have o'.»l,000,uoo acre*, besides their town property, and yet uino-tenths of the pooplo would remain untouched.
