It is said in political circles that the Pres

man that his retirement from the Cabinet
is earnestly desired. The necessity for
Amos’ retirement is said to be entirely
professional, and attributed to his want of
familiarity with the intricacies of law.
Butler vs. Porter.
In the House recently, during a spiritel
debate, the lion. Benjamin Butler used the
following language in referring to Admiral
Porter. Both are intense "Radicals :
Admiral Porter’s services during the
War would live for some time; he thought
they would he indestructible. All along
the Mississippi were guns captured by the
army and marked by Porter—“ Taken by
the navy under the. command of D. D.
Porter,” and so long as white paint remain
ed, so long would the memory of Porter’s
deeds remain in the minds of those who be
lieved hirh, hut who were few. [Laughter.]
Crop of 1870.
The monthly report of the Department of
Agricul'uro, of the United States, in treat
ing of the condition of the crops, Says : “The
estimates of corn product for the past few
years have rarely indicated a very near
approach to a full crop. From a prelimin
ary calculation upon local returns from 749
counties, the total product of the year is
made to exceed 1,000,000,000 bushels.
This would give about twenty-eight bushels
an acre this year, upon the assumed acre
age of 39,000,000 acres, against twenty
three and a half bushels upon a little more
than 37,000,000 acres last year. The re
turns indicated a larger product of sorghum
than last year. The tobacco crop is Com
paratively large, and the estimate of the
year will aggregate at least 300,000,000 lbs.
Thf» hay crop is less in quantity than that
of 1869 by about 15 per cent; the estimate,
however, will go above 20,000,000 tons,
which is little more than the product of
1859. The product of the year in potatoes
is little more than four-fifths ot the preced
ing year.”
That Religions Amendment.
The New York Independent does’ntbelieve
in putting God’s name into the constitution,
and pertinently says: “God is not to be
praised in joint resolutions or worshipped in
constitutional amendments. We may de
serve ourselves into the belief that a consti
tutional amendment is an acceptable tribute
to the Father. But God is not a ‘proud
bailielike bodie, r to be imposed upon by
empty flatteiy of this sort. A nation means
so many individual men, women, and chil
dren, with every one of whom he keeps
open a personal account. All the constitu
tional amendments in the world could not
have made the sins of Sodom less obnoxious.
We cannot see that such an amendment
could make any soul better. When bills of
lading had long and pious preambles in re*
gard to the protection of God, shippers did
not' swear any less, ship owners were not
more pious, and shippers were none the less
rascally. It is quite probable tTvat when
the sanctimonious underwriters used pious
phrases they overcharged their patrons,
who in turn were just as able to fall into
arson or any other such crime as they are
to-day,, A candid review of the history of
religious phrases does not impress us with
their sactifying Influences.”
Mr. Lincoln on Carpet-Baggers.
Apropos of the threatened admission of
Gen. carpet-bagger Abbot, of North Caro
lina to the seat in the U. S. Senate to which
Gov. Vance is clearly entitled, and in
opposition to the present policy of the
Republican party in its dealings with the
South, also to preserve it on record, we
present below the opinion of “the late
lamented” Abraham Lincoln on 'carpet
baggers :
“Executive Mansion, November 21, 1862.
—Dear Sir: Dr. Kennedy, bearer of this, has
some apprehension that federal officers, not
citizens of Louisana, may be set up as can
didates for Congress in that state. In my
view, there could be no possible object in
such an election. We do not particularly
need members of Congress from these states
to enable us to get along with legislation
here. What we do want is the conclusive
evidence that respectable citizens of Louis
iana are willing to be members of Congress,
and to swear to support the Constitution,
and that other respectable citizens there are
willing to vote for them, and send them.
To send a parcel of Northern men here as
representatives, elected, as would be under
stood (and perhaps really so,) at the point
of the bayonet, would bo disgraceful and
outrageous ; and were Ia member of Con
gress here, I would cast my vote against
admitting anv such man to a seat.
Your 8, very truly,
A. Lincoln.

Literary •
Colonel John Esten
General Lee,” which will soqp appear from
the press of D. Appleton & Co«*#e notveerely
a brief and bald sketch of the
but a full and elaborate biography,
ingan arcunitebiitdramaticand pictnre
history of those military transactions in
Virginia of which he was the distinguished
leader. This “Life of %ot
written, as it is asserted in some
without full authority and sanction.
commenced five years ago, in 1866,
Colonel Cooke then informed General Lee
of his purpose. The General, in reply,
assured him that the work
terfere with any that he might i^.
contemplation ; he bad not writtqp a lh|£
of any work as yet, and might Jb so,
but, should he write a history of the dffra
paigns of the Army of Northern Virginia,
the proposed work would be
assistance than a hinderance.”
Cooke, in his letter, has offered to>3i «cbq
tinue the work, if not agreeable to General
Lee, this reply is an obvious sanction of the
author’s design. It mav be safely assumed
that no biography of General Lee more
comprehensive or trustworthy than that of
Colonel Cooke’s will appear. It is prepared
by a man of large literary experience, of
fine genius, who served in the Virginia
campaigns, and saw much of what he de
scribes ; and General Lee’s sanction of his
design arose from his knowledge of Colonel
Cooke’s peculiar fitness for his task. The
General has departed this life without exe
cuting his at one time contemplated task ;
and Colonel Cooke’s biography must, in a
certain sense, fill the place, as regards the
history of the Virginia campaigns, that
Lee’s own history would have done, had he
lived to write it.
Free Labor Produetion.
In the recent message of Governor Al
corn to the Legislature of Mississippi, the
affairs of that State are discussed in the
most detailed manner. The message is an
unusually voluminous paper, and forms,
with its vast array of figures, a pamphlet of
nearly seventy pages.
In the Savannah Republican we find a
sketch of the views ot the message upon
agricultural topics. The Republican con
tends that the favorite theory of the old Ab
olitionists—that free labor is necessarily
more productive than slave labor, has not
been vindicated by experience. In Missis
sippi, at all events, according to the statis
tics of Gov. Alcorn’s message, the experi
ment of free negro lahor is a palpable
failure. '
Gov. Alcorn presents us with a compara
tive table that gives much desired informa
tion, the products of 1860 and 1870 being
placed in separate columns, and labor
remaining without material change. For
the comparison six counties are taken, viz:
Madison, Holmes, Rankin, Neshoba, Jones,
and Lauderdale, extending through the
centre of the State from the Mississippi
river to the Alabama line, and representing,
as the Governor tells us, one eight or one
ninth of the population and wealth of the
State.” The following is the result:
In cotton production there has been a
falling off since 1860 of sixty-three per cent.
Indian corn, the «reat bread source, shows
a reauction in ten years ot sixty-jive per
cent.
Swine, the source of meat, has fallen off
sixty-Jive per cent.
In other articles of subsistence the decline
is equally great, if not greater: thus, in
wheat we have a decline of eighty per cent.;
rye, ninety-eight per cent. ; rice, sixty per
cent. ; peas and beans, eightv-nine per
cent.' Irish potatoes, eighty-three per cent.;
sweet potatoes, sixty-four per cent.; orchard
products, eighty-two per cent. Wool has
fallen off seventy-six per cent. ; and home
manufactures sixty-two per cent.
This is an exhibit, from a Radical source,
of some of the early fruits of emancipation.
These were hardly the results for which the
apostles of Anti-Slavery worked during the
thirty year* preceding the war. Mr. Greeley
would hardly believe these figures truthful ;
nevertheless they are worthy of his careful
attention, and of at least two or three col
umns of editorial discussion in the columns
of the Tribune.
The journal from which we have quoted,
makes the very pertinent observation that
this present test of the comparative capaci
ties of free and slave labor is made with a
generation of blacks who have been habitu
ated to work from their childhood, and are
to be expected, from the force of habit, to
run in the same groove for the remainder
of their lives. If so lamentable a falling
off is experienced in the present generation,
what will it not be in the generations to
follow ? A modicum of schooling and the
rest of life idleness and vagabondism is the
order of the young blacks of the present
day ; a charming pupilage for their respon
sibilities in the future as supporters of the
national wealth l
This is a sad state of things for the South,
and still sadder for the negro as a race. It
foreshadows and' of two things—and early
revolution in the laboring population, or
the entire prostration of field industry in
the planting States. To those who know
the people of the South, it is wholly unnec
essary for us to say which of these events
lies concealed in the womb of time.—Car

Grant’s German Message.
The New York Sun (ever speaking evil of
dignities) thus makes fun of Grant’s Ger
man message to Congress, covering a plea
for an advance of our Berlin Minister’s sal
ary :
A MESSAGE TO CONGRKBS.
Whereas, tie Kaiser von Koenig de Pruss
Is lees of a cuss and more of a fuss
Than any remarkable ally of us,
And highly successful in his late muss ;
And whereas, the comity of events
Compels us to straddle the demagogue's
fenop,
And get the Dutch vote on any pretence ;
And whereas, Rufe Ingalls and Horace le
jeune
Insist that my policy is out of tune ;
Aqd whereas, moreover, it seems to me
That the measure of Honor is salary ;
I recommend that our man at Berlin
From this time forward begin to begin
To get as much money as lets him carry
An equal high head with the roosters at
Paris 1
I think this imperative policy—
Money is always important to me ;
And, as you preceive from the length of
this,
The theme is unusually grave for Ultss.

Washington, Febraary 17.—The House
is on the military appropriation bill, and
the Democrats are attacking the President
f.»r using the military in elections.
St.‘ Louis, Feb. 17. —The Impeachment
Resolutions passed the Arkansas House.
The Democrat’s special says Clayton will
not yield.
It is rumored that Lieut.-Governor John
son will issue a proclamation calling on the
,people to stand by him.
Washington, Feb. 17.—Articles of im
peachment have been presented in the Ar
kansas House against Governor Clayton.
Washington, February 18.—The case of
Blyth and Kmdard against the United
States, from Kentucky, will soon be argued
before the Supreme Coart. The question
is whether the second section of the thir
teenth amendment, authorizes appropriate
legislation by Congress to come into effect.
The first section ot the amendment vested
Congress with the constitutional power to
enact the civil rights bill of April 1866.
i The case of Knox against Lee, from
Texas, will be argued in the Supreme Court
,early next w r eek. It involves the confisca
tion of the property under the Confederate
Government, and the legal tender question
A curious question is growing out of a col
lision in San Francisco harbor as to whether
a foreign Prince can sue in the Supreme
Court.
The House then adjourned.
Senate. —Fenton presented a petition
from leading New York merchants, asking
tor the corrections of abuses in Customs
regulations. c
The Appropriation bill was resumed.
An amendment to strike from the Legis
lative, Executive and Judiciary Act, aclause
inserted Tast year by Senator Drake, was
proposed, which prohibited as evidence in
the Court of Claims, certain Presidential
pardons. The amendment authorizes as
evidence any pardon or amnesty granted
before the suppression of the rebellion,
under the proclamation ot President Lin
coln. This amendment is not to apply to
suits in the Court of Cla ms, arising under
the act of March 6th, :o provide for the
collection of abandoned property and pre
venting frauds in the insurrectionary dis
tricts. The claims opened by this aaiend
ment are about $10,000,000. The amend
ment does not help persons pardoned by
President Johnson, after April, 1805. The
amendment was rejected, 19 to 32.
Trumbull reviewed a portion of the
amendment repeating the proviso of a law
which makes a pardon evidence of the guilt
of the party accepting it, Conkhn argued
that a pardon was not a virtual confession
of guilt.
Trumbull’s amendment, that a pardon
should not exclude the pardoned party
from a court of claims, was carried by the
casting vote of the Vice-President. The
debate was quite bitter, and showed no disr.
position to give Southern claimants gener*
ally more generous considerations than
heretofore.
Washington, Feb. 18.—In the Senate to
day, Howard offered the following:"
Resolved, That in the present disturbed
relations of the Government of the United
States and Great Britain, we regard the re
cent appointment of the High Commission
for discussing the subjects of tfhe difference
between them as a highly auspicious event,
furnishing well-grounded hope of a speedy,
honorable and mutually advantageous set
tlement of all important matters of contro
versy, and of cordial amity and good feeling
between the people of the two countries.
That we deem it of high interest to those
ends that the Commission should take into
consideration the fact that the possession by
Great Britain of the Northern portion of the
Continent of North America, stretching
from the Northern boundary of the United
States to the Frozen Ocean, as in its very
nature an obstacle to the permanent harmo
ny of the two governments, and a standing
incitement to persons anxious to involve
them in war, and we, therefore, earnestly
recommend that the Commission may, in
any settlement suggested by them, embrace
the cession to the Government of the United
States of so much at least of such of the
Britsh Possessions as lie tn the west of
Hudson Bay, and the main channels con
necting it with the Arctic Ocean and outlet
of Lake Superior, with the right to free nav
igation through the navigable waters to the
Atlantic and Arctic Oceans.
Washington, February 20.—The Irish

In the Senate, Conkling, from the Judi
ciary committee, reported favorably on the
bill which passed the House, to preserve
purity of elections, otherwise known as

of the 15th amendment. lie gave notice
that he would press it upon the Senate for
its early action.
Galveston, February 2\—Gen. Magru
der had been unwell for a week previous,
but his illness was not considered dangerous
till within two days of his decease. About
8 o’clock Friday night, he became delirious,
and his muttering unintelligible. He lay
with the band of death on him*till 3 o’clock
in the morning. At that hour a gentleman
from New York, who was stopping at the
hotel, walking past Magruder’s room, heard
a noise within, and entering the apartment,
he found Magruder in a sort of convulsion.
A servant was immediately dispatched for
a physician. Before his return, the pro
prietor ascended to the chamber, and found
him breathing heavily and in an uncon
scious condition.
Telling: a boy to remain bat not disturb
the patient, he decended the stairs. On
returning, he found the General without
pulse ; he listened for breathing, there was
none; placed his hand on his heart, it was
still forever.
He was laid in a plain black suit. His
body having been laid in a coffin, be was
followed by a string of carriages to the
Episcopal Church, where the usual death
services were read by the minister. The
distinguished dead was then escorted to
the Episcopal Cemetery. The last conver
sation the General is known to have had
was the Friday previous to his death, to an
employee of "the hotel. After sending a
message ft> a distant relative, resident in
the city, the General said in reply to a
question, “I don’t think I am long for this
world.” There was no display abont the
funeral obsequies.
Ricitmovd, Feb. 20.—T0-day the House,
after a long fight and much fillibusterin*,
which lasted till after night, passed the bill

London, Feb. 18.—The debate in the
House is general. The prevailing tone iaf

respect "with belligerents, and invited an
early war for her existence.
Defensive works are proposed by the
British Secretary of War which will cost
50.000,000, and new artillery at a cost of
10,000,900 sterling.-
London, Feb. 20.—1n the House of Com
mons to-day. Gladstone, in reply to inquiry,
denied that Her Majesty’s Government had
received any proposals for the purchase of
the British dominions in North America.
A Stange Story About Gen. Grant—lWi
Doubtless Untrue. W
A few day3 after the capti re of Fort
Sumter, in April, 1861, when # he voice of
the whole country was for war, we had a
conversation with a gentleman who was an
officer in the Mexicau war, and who besides,
in Ohio, has obtained eminence as a civilian,
that we have often thought ot since. Said
he to us : “I saw to* day an old comrade of
mine in Mexico, a West Pointer, but who
resigned his position in the army a few
years ago. I asked him why he was not in
uniform, and expressed my suprise that he
was not already a col mel or general of vol
unteers. llis reply was : “1 think you and
I have had fighting enough. What I want
in this war is a place by which I can make
some money.’ ” He sought to get that
place here. He made au efiort to be selecs
ted by the Government as a buyer of horses,
but failed. lie next endeavored to borrow
a few hundred dollars of a military friend
of ours, then and now in the regular army,
for the purpose entering into a business
where he would get army patronage. Be
ing refused, he applied, as we understand,
to Gen. Burns for a position in the Commis
sary Department in this city, but failed
also in getting it. There being nothing
here to suit him, he wended bis way back
to Illinois, and became a sort of secretary
to Gov. Yates, and, everything else being
unsuccessful, he chose at last to go into the
army. But he did not want to go where
there was fighting at all. It was money
he was after, and money he has made as
General and President of the United States.
It he had obtained the position he asked
for, as a buyer of horses, the country would
have had a competent if not an honest man
in that place, and we should not now have
a bad President, who makes the filling of
his purse his principal business.
The New York Cotton Exchange.
Since its organization in September last,
the New York Cotton Exchange has been
so well managed as to remove all doubts of
its success, and has met the hearty endorse
ment of the entire trade. In fact, the
membership has increased with so much
rapidity that the present accommodations
are found to be entirely inadequate for the
transaction of business, and it is now pro
posed to seek more roomy quarters. Sev
eral locations have been proposed as likely
to be leased on easy terms, but the mem
bers, with a feeling of independence and
full confidence in their stability, are in
clined to purchase property outright. At
a full meeting yesterday a large and com
modious building on Hanover Square was
offered at a comparatively low figure, and
the members will decide to-day by ballot
whether the purchase be made or not. If
the property is secured the necessary al
terations will commence at once, and the
premises occupied as early in the spring
as practicable.— N. Y. Daily Bulletin.
Arc nfatlonal Bank Notes Legal- Tender.
Washington, February 10.—Treasurer
Spinner to-day wrote a letter to a party in
New York concerning the question whether
notes of national banks are legal tender.
He concludes as follows: *
As vou allude to the principle involved,
it may be proper for me say that, to make
national bank notes a legal tender for all
payments, would eventually exempt the
banks from redeeming them, since they
would be available for all purposes, except
the reserves of the banks as the notes of
the United States in which they are redeem
able. The whole national bank circulation
of the country would thus become a perma
nent loan, without interest, from the people
to the banks, and would operate as a tax
upon the people in favor of the banks to
just the amount of the interest on the bank
notes in circulation. Such a policy is in
defensible on every ground of principle or
expediency, and the impropriety of its adopt
ion will scarcaly admit of discussion.
Andy Johnson’s Proclamation of Am
nesty.
The Nashville Union and American, an
exceedingly able paper, calls attention to
the following well-taken point:
Iu the debate in the Senate on the 13th
iost., on the proposition to admit Senator
Miller, of Georgia, Mr. Carpenter, (Radical)
of Wisconsin, one of the clearest and ablest
expounders of the Contitution in the Senate,
declared that Dr. Miller’s “offense came
within the range of the general pardon is
sued by President Johnson in December,
1868, and had been entirely oblitered by
that act.” This is the first indication that
the Radicals are coming to a recognition of
the power of the President as laid down in
the Constitution. Mr. Carpenter sees that
whenever this question comes before the
Supreme CouTt of the United States, it will
be decided in favor of the constitutionality
and binding force of the proclamation of
amnesty by President Johnson.
An Interesting Case.
The Supreme Court will shortly have be
fore it a most interesting question, namely,
the right to enforce by suit, notes given on
the sale of slaves, prior to the emancipation.
The States of Louisiana, Georgia and other
Southern States, in their new Constitutions,
have laws which declare that all contracts
for the sale of persons are null, and shall
not be enforced by the Courts of the States.
The right of the Constitution to annul such
contracts in the future is not disputed, but
it is maintained that rights arising under
old contracts before emancipation, are pro**
tected against such confiscation by the
clause of the Federal Constitution, which
says : “No State shall pass any law infring
ing the obligation of contracts.”
Salaries.
The following salaries for Judges of the
Supreme Court and other United States
courts have been agreed upon by the Senate
Committee on Appropriations, to take effect
after July 1, 1871: Cnief Justice, $10,500
per annum; Associate Judges, SIO,OOO
each ; Circuit Court Judges, $7,500: Chief
Justices of the Court of Claims and of the
District of Columbia Court, $6,500 each ;

Capitulation of Paris.
The terms of tho capitulation of Paris
are as follows :
First—The cession of the province of
Alsace and that part of the province of
Lorraine known as German Lorraine.
Second A money indemnity of one
thousand millions of frances.
Third—Forty war ships from the French
fleet.
Fourth—One of the colonies now held by
France.
The object of the Armistice is said to be,
to spare further bloodshed and give an
opportunity to the French people through
the Assembly Representatives at Bordeaux,
to decide whether the war shall be contin
ued, or peace accepted on the terms before
stated.
“When Thieves Pall Out, itc.”
At the late Senatorial contest in Arkan
-8 is, the Radical party broke to pieefi
through its own rottenness, and each wing
was forced to bid for Democratic support.
Governor Clayton, outbid his rival, Senator
McDonald, and as the result of that Clayton
is elected to the United States Senate, and
the McDonald faction, the larger of the two,
is overthrown. Both McDonald and Clay
ton, and the two factions they represent,
are committed to re-enfranchisement; so
that when another election takes place, the
result of it will be the transfer of power to
the hands of its much-abused people.
General Grant espou-ed the McDonald
cause and was beaten, as he was in Missouri.
Rhode Island.
Rhode Island adheres to her undemocrat
ic and anti-American proscription of
foreign-born citizens. She still requires
them to own real estate to the amount of
$134 as a condition of permitting them to
vote —a condition not exacted of native
born citizens—and this, notwithstanding
she has ratified both the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the United States
Constitution. Os course she suffers by
losing the representation in Congress of the
voters thus excluded, but that is by no
means a sufficient penalty for such old
fashioned exclusiveness. The grievance is
of long standing and oughi to be removed.
Foraging on the Enemy.
The Washington correspondent of the
Chronicle and Sentinel in his last letter,
has this personal paragraph:
P. M. B. Young, the Democratic U. S.
Representative from the 7th District of
Georgia, is devoted in his attentions to a
beautiful daughter (Miss Winnie) of Sena
tor Chandler, and thus he is scarcely off
with the old love before he is on with the
new. Having been defeated by a tar heel
in the Atlanta court, he now transfers his
affections, which like the star of empire,
westward wings its flight. Tbe lady has
much cattle and gold, and these things
have their weight, even with a Congressman.
Changed.
Quite recently, at one of the hotels in
New Orleans, the late Confederate General
Longstreet, who for a paltry office joined the
Radical party, was seated opposite -tv o
Louisiana ladies whom he had formerly
known, and in whose families he bad be n
intimate. lie addressed them across the
table, but received no recognition in return.
Finally, be said, “you do not seem to re
member me, lam Gen. Longstreet.” The
elder of the ladies replied, “Sir, you have
really changed so much since the war, that
we do not recognize you.” The dinner was
a hasty one by Longstreet.
The Grand Jury of Chatham county re
fuse to recommend the levying of a tax to
raise SB,OOO for the District Court. The
jury consider it a “fungus” upon the judi
ciary, and cannot recommend any taxation
upon an already overtaxed people for the
support of this worthless pieceof machinery.
They further recommend that tne Senators
and Representatives from that county be
requested to have the act establishing the
same repealed.
