General Amnesty.
We publish this week the gen
eral amnesty bill which lias, at
last, passed the Senate and been
approved by the President. The
people have long demanded the
passage of this act The men
whom it was intended to punii-h
by excluding them from the priv
ilege of holding office were no
more guilty, in nine cases out of
ten, than the thousands who par
ticipated in secession. The object
intended to be accomplished has
most signally failed; the “carpet
bag governments,” which it was
believed the Fourteenth Constitu
tional amendment would perpetu
ate in the South, and with whose
support a great Republican party
would be built up lias been a
curse to the party and is now
working its destruction. Another
illustration of the truth of the old
couplet—
“ The best laid p'ans of mice and nn n
Gang aft aglec."
We rejoice that this measure of
justice to a large class of our fel
low-citizens has becu passed, but
it is strange that when a party
proposes to do an act of justice,
that they should do it so grndg
ingly. The exceptions to the act
will not probably affect more than
two or three hundred men and
there ought to have been no excep
tion and the excepted class will
soon be relieved. This much good
at least comes from the Liberal
Republican movement.
This shows the folly of fanati
cal .tampering with the Constitu
tion. We w ill Soon have an arti
cle in the Constitution which will
be a dead letter, except as a mon
ument of hatred and undictive
partizau malice, engendered by
the war and perpetuated for party
aggrandizemeut.
The New York Democracy.
There lius only been thus far
two State Democratic Conventions
held,each representing great States
whose voice will be potent in de
ciding the issues involved in the
campaign. One, (Tennessee), a
Southern State which has been
trampled under the heel of Radi
calism and oppression worse than
any Southern State, except South
Carolina; the other the great State
of New York. It is to these we
must look for an authoritativc ex
pression of the opinions and the
ripe judgment of tire Democracy
of those States upon tho impor
tant question now submitted to
the party. As to. what this or that
leader may hold to be the duty of
the party, is a matter of small mo
ment ; we have passed the day
when any leader can control the
votes of a majority of the party
by' a nod of the head or a waive of
the hand, but when wc have an
expression of opinion from great
Slate Conventions then we may
Ci rrm to some correct conclusion
as to the t or populi.
The* Tennessee Convention in
structed her delegates to oppose a
third ticket. We think this in
struction rather premature—the
events of the next thirty days may
make a change in the public mind.
The oourse pursued by the New
York Democracy, iu their Conven
tion at Rochester, was, we think,
letter. That Convention although
clearly indicating what its present
convictions were, left its delegates
nntrammeled upon this question
and instructing them simply, “to
take the course best calculated to
secure the triumph of these prin
ciples.” The action of this Con
vention, composed of the best men
of the IVmocratic party, after a
full and careful review of the situ
ation, will carry with it great
weight with the party throughout
the Uniou. \Ye therefore copy
from the World the speech of Mr.
Thomas Kinsclla, the President of
that Convention, and the resolu
tions adopted by that body :
Sjwech of Thomas Kintella.
Fsllow-Citizexs : 1 am deeply
sensible of the honor conferred in
selecting me to preside over the
preliminary deliberations of this
great convention of the icpresen
tatives of the Democratic party of
the State of New York. We meet
to take issue on questions of mo*
mentons concern to tire great po
litical organization, the history of
whose achf ivcmcnts make np so
large a part of the history of our
country. We meet at a time preg- i
nant with hope and promise of the
future. I concede cheerfully that
1 have not been selected for this
honor because of any personal 1
claims of mine. I atu here be- j
cause 1 was among the earliest
and the im-st earnest advocates of
a union of the liberal men of the
country, a union designed to re
store honesty in the administration
of the government, a union against
military lings and military sway,
a union in defence of the safe- :
guaids of individual libeity, a
union for the restoration of self
government, a union against cen
traliza!non, a union to restore to
millions of native born men rights
their fathers won—lights inaliena
ble from American citizenship
Of such a union Thomas Jefferson
might consistently be the leader.
Today the patriotic and liberal
minded men of the country hereto
fore opposed to us look with hope
that still remains to the action of
onr great conscrvaiive party.—
These men have been overborne
and trampled down in their own
political organization. They in
voke our assistance, and the
assistance of the Democracy will
never be invoked in vain by
those who are struggling for
good government, for law, for
order, and for the extension of
the guarantees of tiro Consti
tution over our whole country'.
I am here to concede that the party
opposed to us have taken a great
port in the history of our times.
1 know the achievements of which
they are proud, but I know that
if, in order to secure what they
have accomplished, venality must
rule at Washington, then one sec
tion of our country must be given
over to plunder and desolation
and military force must be relied
on for the support of the govern
ment, which rested so long in calm
security on the consent of the gov
erned. What patriotic citizen who
has acted hithorto with the Repub
lican party can look back on the
past with any satisfaction ? 1.
for one, therefore, welcome with
proud and grateful heart every
man who has been opposed to us
hitherto and who is now willing to
stand shoulder to shoulder with
us for the principles I, as a Demo
crat, have steadily upheld and
which now asks me to surrender;
the principles the fathers suppor
ted for the American theory of
government, to whose defence once
more all good cit : zens are pre
pared unitedly to tally. We have
upheld in every way left open to
us the supremacy of the civil law,
individual liberty under the pro
tection of the habeas corpus, the
rights of the Southern States and
the Southern people to full and
! complete equality in the Union.
We arc contending for all this to
day, and, 1 believe, are willing to
co-oporate with all men who are wil
ling to act with ns. Unfold, then,
the banner with these principles
emblazoned on, and whoever may
1 ear it, we will follow and be sat
isfied with the victory which will
place it high in the ascendant,
where, surrounded by its old
friends and its new allies, it will
wave in unchallenged supremacy
for a generation to come. To-day,
and here, the government of our
country may be leacned from the
dangers which surround it. Let
us resolve to do it, and the elreers
which will hail aur action will not
come from the parasites and paid
retainers of a mean and venal ad
ministration, but from the exul
tant hearts of freemen, forgetting
naught of all the past, but all the
past forgiven.
The following are the resolu
tions adopted:
The Democratic parly of the
Sta'c of New York, assembled in
regular convention to select dele
gates to a national convention, to
be held at Daltimore, to nominate
candidates for President and Vice
President, declare and resolve :
That we recognize the changes
in the nature and constitution of
the government which have taken
place and, without re-opening the
questions of the past, are ready
now to co-operate with those,
whatever their previous party
affiliations, who favor limited and
localized governments, who seek
to restrain the exercise by Con
gress of absolute and general pow
ers, to prevent its entering on
general private legislation, to re
strain the growth of vast corpora
tions, and to work a permanent
civil service reform; and be it further
Resolved, That the recent declar
ation of political principles by the
Convention of Cincinnati is evi
dence of the progress of public
opinion towards sound and whole
some views of government; that
we believe all patriotic citizens
may unite upon that platform for
the purpose of restoring the hon
est administration of national af
fairs aud enforcing the obligations
of the Constitution ; and our dele
gates to Baltimore are iswtt noted
to take the course best calculated
to secure the triumph of these
principles and the selection of any
candidates representing them who
shall meet the approval of the
Democracy in Notional Convention
J assembled.
Atlantic and Great Western
Canal.
We published last week a telegram j
from Washington giving an account
of the reception by the President of
the delegation from Georgia, who
are in Washington in the interest of
this great enterprise. We find in the
correspondence of the N. Y. World
a much fuller account of the inter
view than was contained in the dis- i
patch sent South, and as our people
feel a deep interest in this matter,
we copy it for the information of our
readers, and in order to show what is
thought of the project by one of the
leading Metropolitan journals:
After the ceremony of introduc
tion was over, Colonel Frobei ad- (
dressed the President, stating that the
delegation came to him directly from i
the people of Georgia to call his at
tendon to a matter of deep interest
not only to the people of that State,
but to every portion of our common
country. For many years the atten
tion of individuals and of the gov
ernment had been directed to the
necessity of opening better and chea
per avenues of trade with the States j
lying along the Mississippi Valley,
which States produce a vast surplus
of food for which there is no home
market, while the pioductions of the
more densely populated Middle and
New England States fall far short of ■
the needs of a people principally \
devoted to commeice and manufac
tures. The Southern States are
adapted to the culture of cotton, I
sugar, and rice, and in production of
these they find their most profitable
employment Mutual dependence is
thus created, which makes necessary
free commercial intercourse, to facil
itate yhioh cheap transportation is
needed, and which can only be at
tained by lines of water communica
tion. Hence a route for a canal con
necting the East and West has been
Img and eagerly sought for. The
delegation was hero to offer to the
President, and through him to the
country, just such a highway ns has
bean sought for in vain for tho past
sixty years*--a highway that will be
safe in war, commodious in peace,
unobstructed by ice, the cheapest
known to the commercial world, and
ample for the country that needs it.
Nature has already built the greater
portion of this most important route,
anJ it requires but nn insignificant
expenditure of time and means to
complete what she basso well begun.
From St. Louis, the grand centre of
Western trade, there is at all times
j uninterrupted navigation along the
Mississippi River to the mouth of the
Ohio, and up that stream to the Ten
nessee River, and up the Tern essee to
Ounlersville, Ala. Here a narrow neck
of land separates the Tennessee from
the Coosa Iltver. Across this isth
mus a canal some thirty miles long
is all that is needed to extend navi
gation up to Rome, Ga. From this
latter point there is no difficulty in
the way of connecting the Coosa and
the Oemulgee rivers by a canal, and
this will open navigation to the At
lantic Ocean. Recent government
surveys pronounce this route emi
nently feasible. The cost of the
whole will not exceed $20,000,000,
while the benefits will reach over the
whole country. The delegation was
here to a-k, in view of this being a
great national work and its benefits
to be enjoyed by the whole country,
that the President would give it his
favorable consideration. Another
question growing out of the matter
of bo less importance to our future
was in the strengthening of mutual
interests resuiliug from the strength
ening of commercial ties, and we
hope that iu them the bitterness
which has drawn the line of demar
dation between the sections may for
ever pass away; and that m the kind
ly feelings engendered by a mutual
pro«perity the past may be forgotten
in all save the common memory of
our gallant dead, and East and West
and North and South may say with
convincing earnestness of what we
utter, “Lit the dead past bury its
dead; for the future we will have
peace between us.”
The President replied that he saw
a map of the route yesterday, and it
looked to him eminently practical,
and he thought it very important in
view of the fact that the present com
mercial routes are inadequate to the
growing needs of commerce, and were
it not for the lateness of the present
session he would make it the suqject
of a special communication to Con
gress, but he suggested that perhaps
the better way would be—first, to
inte'est the fiiends of tbe measure in
Congress in the work aud obtain the
introduction and reference of the bill
as preliminary to subsequent action
by the Executive. He did not know
whether Congress would he disposed
to guarantee the bonds of tbe com
pany or would prefer to give a direct
subsidy in public lands. He had not
heard any expression of opinion
among the members, but they could
see its importance, and lie thought
that by a proper presentation of the
case before the two houses there
would be a strong disposition mani
fested to carry tbe enterprise through.
He regarded it as of national impor
tance and deserving of national aid.
In subsequent conversation with mem
bers of tbe delegation, the President
showed an intimate knowledge of
the country and of the advantages to
be derived to the entire West and
Northwest by the completion of tl>e |
enterprise. The delegation left well j
pleased with their reception, and as ,
ter looking through the WbileUouse,
adjourned to the residence of Gen. i
Young, of Georgia, where they were
hospitably entertained, after which !
they held a meeting and decided to
remain over another day in order to
present their enterprise in a favora
ble light to the Vice-President, Spea
ker of the House, and committees
on commerce of each House.
The Amnesty Bill Passed.
Washington, May 23 —The Sen
ate adjourned this morning to one
o’clock today, having passed the
House Amnesty Bill, by a two thirds
vote, placing it beyond the Presi
dent’s control; also, the bill extend
ing the suspension of tbe writ of
habeas corpus, also Sumner’s Civil
Rights Bill, but so emasculated that
Sumner himself entered a motion to
reconsider. These vital measures
were passed by bare quorums.
The following is the verbiage of
the Amnesty bill:
“Be it enacted by tbe Senate and
House of Representatives of the
United Slates of America, in Con
gress assembled, two thirds of each
house concurring therein, that all
political disabilities, imposed by the
third section, of the fourteenth article,
of amendments of the Constitution
of the Fruited States, are hereby re
moved from all persons whomsoever,
except Senators and Representatives
of the thirty sixth and thirty-seventh
Congresses, and officers in the judi
cial, military and naval service of the
United States, heads of departments
and foreign Ministers of the United
States.’’
The Civil Rights Bill, as passed,
applies only to inns, licensed places
of public entertainment or amuse
ment, and stage coaches, railroads,
and other public inodes of convey
ance for freights or passengers. Equal
rights regarding cemeteries, schools
and benevolent institutions, were
stricken out.
Washington, May 23, 1872.
General John B. Gordon has writ
ten a letter to Senator Scott, of
Pennsylvania, replying to the
charge of the latter, made in the
Senate the other day, in which lie
alleged that Gordon was among
the organizers end earliest leaders
of the Kq Kiux. Gordon pro
nounces the charge false, aud
quotes what he did testify before
the Ku Klux Committee. The let
ter concludes as follows :
The kindliest relations existed
between the two races. Peace
and the q^bservance of the law
were everywhere found, aud never,
until your carpetbag governments,
through the fears and cupidity of
the poor, deludeded negro had em
bittered him against us and, by
his aid and yours, hud robbed our
treasuries, plundered our corpora
tions, blighted onr agriculture,
blasted our hopes, and hung debt,
like a millstone about our m cks
never until then, and until the ad
ministration of the law Imd become
a mockery and political subservi
ency, the panspurt to Executive
c’emency for crime, was the peace
of the South ever broken or ill-will
engendered between the races.—
And this diabolism you would
continue in tbe South. Like tor
menters in the Spanish bullfights
you coutinually lliug the bloody
ilag in the face ot the negro and
goad the white man to desperation
with the bayonet, that the inevita
ble conflict may furnish an excuse
for the perpetration of your des
potism. 1 pray that the Ameri
can people may rebuke this spirit
iu the coining elections and let the
reign of constitutional government
be once more inaugurated. But
be that as it may, I shall not per
mit you, by my silence, to bolster
up the fortunes of your political
party by thus dragging my name
into notoriety, without asking you
to carry the responsibility of the
falsehood you have perpetrated iu
tbe effort.
The Senate hold an executive
session of five hours this after*
noon, in which the subject of the
Supplemental Treaty was discus
sed at length, Sumner occupying
the most of the time in furious de
nunciation.
Reliable information is to the
effect that the Senate will advise
the acceptance of the British de
mand for the surrender of the na
tional honor in a modified form.
It is the general opinion to
night that Congress will be able
to adjourn on the 29th.
Washington, May 24.—Senator
West appeared to day before the
Committe on finance and contended
for a reduction of the duty on cot
ton bagging. The committee
agreed to report a reduction of
twenty-five per cent.
Gen. Young succeeded in get
ting through the House to-day an
appropriation of $100,001) for pub
lie buildings at Atlanta.
In the llouse the Election Com
mittee reported, confirming Her
oudon, from Texas, in the scat,
and paying the contestant $2,000.
Passed. Kerr callled up the Sen
ate bill providing for the redemp
tion and sale of lands held by the
United Stales under the several
acts levying direct taxes, and
moved a substitute for such a bill,
providing that all the lands now
owned or held by the United States
by the virtue of the proceedings
under the act of June 7, 1862, and
other acts, for the collection of
direct taxes in the insurrectionary
States, may be rettoemed and re
stored to the original owners or
their representatives within two
years, on the payment of the tax
and costs with interest of ten p r
ceut. The applicants are ajst> to
pay the value of j>ermanent im
provernept* that may hax’C been
made by other persons after the
acquisition of the property by the
United States. Property not claim
ed within two years is to be sold
at public auction. Thaact is not
to apply to the property used in
whole or in part for National cem
eteries or other public purposes.
Purchasers of property from the
United States, who have lost it
through inability to establish title,
are to be reimbursed by the gov
ernment. The substitute was
agreed to, and the bill passed.
The Senate Committee on Fi
nance consolidated the tax on
distilled spirits from 05 to 70
cents, but have made reduction in
other respects so as to make it
about tho same aggregate as pro
posed by the House, and have
further amended the tariff and tax
bills by making the uniform tax
on all tobacco 24 cents a pound
instead of 20. They struck out the
section providing one-third of the
duties on imports may be paid in
currency. The bill will come up
in the Senate to-morrow.
New York, May 23. —Mr. Gree
ley in response to a letter from the
Committee appointed to notify him
of his nomination for President by
the Cincinnati Convention, has writ
ten a reply, in which he formally
accepts it. The letter says, “I have
waited to hear from all parts of the
country before taking this step, and
am satisfied from free and unrestrain
ed popular responses, that the action
of the Convention meets the appro
val of all interested in re-union and
reform. 1 fully endorse the platform
of the Cincinnati Convention, and
particularly on the reconciliation of
the South and the removal of all po
litical disabilities and that the Amer
ican people have made the cause
their own and bear it in triumph,
with the distinct understanding, that
if elected, I shall be President, not
of a party, but of the whole people.
I accept the nomination, confident
that the North and South are eager
to clasp hands across the bloody
chasm which has too long divided
them, and forget they have been en
emies .”
Washington, May 16 —Tbe House
