The Troposed Amnesty Proilnmation.
Theer seems to be little doubt that Mr. John
son ia About to issue a proclamation of am
nesty to H or nearly all the persons con
cerned In the late Rebellion, rractioallv, this
Will be of my little momeut, as there is not
much likelihood that any of them would ever
be brought to trial or punishment anyhow.
But as showing Mr Johnson's determination
to override the law, and to antagonize himself
againBt Congress, the matter is of considerable
moment. Congress, at its last session, repealed
that clause of the law which specially conferred
upon the Tresidentthe power to grant am
nesties. Mr. Johnson neither signed the bil1
containing the repeal nor vetoed it, but kept it
beyond the time limited by the Constitution,
60 that it became a law without his signature.
But it is claimed that, under the Constitution,
the President has the power to grant an am
aesty without any law therefor. This, evi
dently, was not the view of Congress when
the power was oonferred by law, nor when that
law was repealed. The President, therefore,
will be assuming a doubtful power, to say the
least.
It has been suggested that the granting of
An amnesty by the President would work a
removal of the disability to take part in the
work of reconstruction imposed by Congress
upon certain leaders of the Rebellion. The New
York Herald has urged with considerable per
sistency the granting of an amnesty on ttxU
very ground. But here, again, we meet an
express provision of law that no pardon or
amnesty granted by the President shall confer
the privilege of suffrage or the holding of office
upon any person otherwise disqualified. This
is the law, and it is so plain that it cannot be
evaded. - It can only be openly discarded and
ignored. Perhaps this is what the President
means to do. . . ; ;
Perhaps he has conoluded to make no more
pretense of obeying and executing the laws, but
to manage matters according to his own will.
If so, the sooner he demonstrates that fact by
some definite overt act the better. He has
already nullified the spirit of the laws in
numberless instances, but he has been careful
always to leave a loophole of escape! Now,
however, as he is upon the "war path," per
haps lie will venture on more open acts.
Unless something of this kind, is in contem
plation, the issuing of an amnesty proclama
tion will have no more practical significance
than one of Binckley's profound productions.
Britain, Tremble !
"Among the ba.ines. of tan Fenlau Cone reel
on lliuisday, la said to have been tlie adoption
of resolutions relatlog to Amerioau cltizeua lu '
British prison; also, the appolutmeut of a com
mittee lo confer with tbe Fenian Sisterhood."
What fearful import may be conveyed in
this brief paragraph it is idle to speculate
upon. Great Britain can cope with the male
Fenians; can shoot them down and conquer
them. But when an army of Amazons ap
proach, who are armed with the two-edged
sword of Scripture, and commence to talk the
veterans . down, we do not think that the
"Light Brigade" itself could resist. In having
this conference the Brotherhood have dis
played no small tact.' In the first place, the
Sisterhood is by far the most important part
of the organization, for out of the $1-50 a-week
wages whloh the sisters receive is levied the
contributions which support the Senate. The
men are beginning to grow incredulous, and
do not do the patriotic, so the Sisterhood rises
as the stock of the Brotherhood falls, and a
conference is the result. As the cackling of
geese saved Rome, who can say that the Irish
repnblio may not thus be rescued r
Badges fo Firemen. We notice a resolu
tion adopted at the Convention of the Presi
dents 'of Fire Companies yesterday which
seems a sensible one. It states, in view of the
fact that the crowds of idlers and loafers who
run to fires interfere with the proper dis
charge of the duty of the firemen, that a com
pany badge be worn by each regular member,
and that the Secretary of each company keep
an account of the number and name of the
member receiving: the same, and furnish
the Chief Engineer a copy of the register, so
that in case of any misdemeanor on the part
of any member registered, he could be reported
to the company of which he was a member
or their action.
This seems to be a feasible way of reform
of abuses which are rapidly making the com
panies a nuisance instead of a blessing. It is
not the regtriar member who provokes and
causeo quarrels and commits thefts, but the
ngers-on, and some stringent rule should be
adopted to prevent their taking part. By the
proposed regulation each company would be
responsible for its members, and each member
Lave a character to sustain, whioh would be
loBt by any misconduct. Anyhow, the pro
posed plan will do no harm, and the experi
ment ifl well worth a trial, as the evil is great.
Lkbbon of tub Accident. The frightful aool
dent in Connecticut, in which ten Uvea were
ost by the breaking of a railroad bridge,
should teach us the necessity of having regu
larly appointed inspectors, State officials, who
should examine into the condition of the va
rious bridges, and report sensibly and truly of
their condition. There are some within a score
of miles of Philadelphia which would not stand
an official test.
Back ijc thb Rapkh. The Pre, which a
few days since endorsed Judge Ludlow and
advocated his reflection to the Benoti, declares
itself this morning, In a rnostemphatio leader,
in favor of the Hon. M. RuHsell Thayer. It
states that Judge Ludlow "has voluntarily
aocepted the nomination of a convention whose
coarse and offensive platform is an insult to
the intelligence and loyalty of this city. He
prefers to reoeive his judicial honors at the
hands of a virulent clique rather than from
the people. By his own act he stands on the
platform and pledged to tho record of the
Democratic party as fully as Master Clymer
did in 18G.r, or Judge Share wood does now. It
is a record written in innocent blood and a
platform built on treason. The infamous
memories of tho Chicago and Harrbiburg Con
ventions forbid that any conscientious Union
man should vote for a candidate committed to
the nnforgotten record of a disloyal party."
By this act the phalanx of the Union journals
of Philadelphia is once more made complete,
our afternoon contemporary having already
repented of its ways. Daily we hear of gentle
men who had previously favored Judge Lud
low returning to the ranks and taking their
places with their old comrades. They can
stand the Judge, but no man with an atom of
loyalty in his composition can stand the com
pany in which he finds himself when he sup
ports the Demooratio nominee. By October
all will have been drawn baok.
Still Better. Mr. MoCulloch makes a
correction in his statement of the national
debt for September, whioh decidedly improves
the asrect of our balance-sheet. Ue finds that
instead of having a debt of $2,505,458,093-05,
we have only $2,492,783,305 05, or a decline of
about thirteen millions more than reported
As the original statement showed a falling off
of six millions in a month, we have really
diminished our debt about nineteen millions
in August. This is a most encouraging ex
hibit, and far better than we had any reason
to expect. It is a satisfaction to got below rUe
two thousand five hundred millions, as here
after we will speak of our debt as within the
two thousand live hundred. If properly
managed, and the laws properly executed, we
will in the course of a few year3 be able to
show such a diminution as will encourage our
countrymen, and, still further, amaze the
world.
I HE UNIVERSITY OF 1 KNSSTLVANIA. We are
glad to see that the advice contained in our
article on "universities," published some
weeks since, has received the attention of the
Trustees of the University of Pennsylvania,
and that they have adopted some of the Bug
gestions we ventured to throw out. The sub
ject was one of vast importance, and on its
proper consideration depended the useful
ness of our college. If the reforms proposed
are carried into execution, then we will see
that Rip Van Winkle shows signs of return
ing consciousness. If the proper English
course is adopted, and all the energies of the
students not directed by compulsion to the
study of Greek roots, there is some ehance
tor It aeonriug that btgU jjlaoo Im tUo ranks Of
colleges to which its age and high standing
entitle it.
We are glad to see the nomination for the
Legislature of Hon. John Hickman. It is so
seldom that gentlemen of Mr. Hickman's
standing will consent to receive such an office,
that we hail with peculiar satisfaction his ac
ceptance. Chester county could not have
selected a better man, for, combined with a fine
intellect, he has a large experience, and is,
beyond doubt, an honest man.
3 he Howlano Will Case. One of the most
singular and important will cases ever tried In
New England is soon to come before the United
Stales Circuit Court in Boston. Sylvia Ann
Howland died on tbe 2d of July, 18G5, leaving
an estate of over two millions of dollars. Seve
ral bequests were made by her will, amounting
in all to about half of her property. The re
mainder was to be put into the hHnds of trus
tees, who were to pay the whole income thereof
to her niece, Hetty M. Ro'oIusod, now Mrs.
Greene.
The will was offered for probate on the 4th of
Aupust, 1865, when it was contested by the
heir-at-law, Mrs. Greene, but, after one post
ponement and a hearing, it was admitted.
. Mrs. Greene thereupon filed an appeal, on the
ground that the testatrix, at the time of mak
ing the will, was Incompetent and unduly Influ
enced. This appeal was afterwards withdrawn,
and the decision of the Probate Judge affirmed.
Tbe executor was then informed that the
contestant would claim the whole estate,
on the ground of a contract made with her,
and accordingly Mrs. Greene filed a bill In
equity with the clerk of the United Btates
Circuit Court in Boston. This bill sets out
that in 18C2, m accordance with a written
agreement, she and her aunt made mutual wills;
tbat these wills were exchanged; that by the
terms of tbe agreement no subsequent will by
cither, without due notice to the other, would
be binding; that no such notice was given to the
contestant; and that, therefore, the will made
bj the decedent pursuant to said agreement is
the only valid testament. Tbe answer denies
all tbe allegations in the bill.
For a year past the parties have been taking
testimony, which fills a printed volume of over
a thousand pages. Tbe most emiuent counsel of
Boston and New Bedford have been engaged,
and the litigants have abundant means to pro
tract the suit. Tbe social position of the con
testants, the amount involved, and the singular
claim made by Mis. Greene, combine to make
this case one of the most interesting ever tried
In this country.

to have been tnas-aored by the Indium, has

An Ancient Forest. In the course of exca
rations at Hull, England, the navvies have
come upon a stratum of dark soil, in whicli a
number of trees in horizontal rjosition were
met with. Theyaie oak, in excellent condi
tion, and romarkably hard. Besides these
interesting remains of a long past age, a large
number of acorns ahd hazel-nuts were found,
and some oyster and mussel shells. The dis
covery is more interesting to geologists, as the
trees were found at a depth of about nineteen
feet below the water line of the river.
Needles. Needles were first made in London
by a negro from Spain, in the reign of Queen
Mary, lie died without Imparting the secret
of his art. The art was recovered in 1505.
Elias Growse first taught the English to make
needles, but the art was again lost for nearly a
century, when it was again recovered by
Christopher Greening, who settled at Long
Crendon, in Buckinghamshire. Needles are
now chiefly made at Redditch, in Worcester
shire, Ilathersage, in Derbyshire, and in and
near Birmingham.
Good Fortcse. A poor man in Preston,
England, has received a legacy of a very grati
fying character. For seven or eight years he
has been a pauper on the sick list, and about
a year ago, when his wife died, he broke up
his house and was sent to the Preston Work
house, where he was maintained up to a
recent period, when he received an intimation
that a fortune had been left him. The sum
be will receive amounts to JEUOOO. It has
been left to him by a female relative in Wales.
Unjust Weights On the 24th of August
the justices of the Tower Hamlets, London,

tailers, twelve chandlers, seven butchers, four
coal dealers, Beven green-grocerj, ten tobao
