A Momentous Proclamation.
1'bb.siubnt Johnson, restless under the inignifi
caroe into which he has sunk, and reukless at
the near approach of the termination of his pub
llo career, haB shot the last arrow oat of his
quiver of proclamations and lost his lat
chance of gaining even a temporary notoriety.
On Christmas Eve he IflBued a universal am
nesty proclamation, pardoning all those who
were guilty of treason or of adhering to the
enemy, and "restoring them to all their rights,
privileges, and immunities under the Consti
tution and laws." How far he is called to
make such a restoration, and of whit
avail it will be in enabling the late
traitors to regain their ballots, is
a question which Mr. Johnson does not pre
tend to solve, nor will we attempt it. In this
proclamation, coming as it dues at the present
time, we see some food for reflection. Of its
real value there can hardly be too small an
estimate. It is hardly worth the paper on
which it is written, if we consider the effects it
will produce, or the power it will exert. To
properly Bee what it will do, we can apply it
to special oases. The previous proclamations,
and, above all, the acts of Congress, have freed
from responsibility all the people of the
Southern States, if we except a score or, so.
Of all the population there are none who could
now be tried for treason except Jefferson
Davia and the dozen or so of the leaders, who,
like him, have been kept out in deference to
public opinion. Of these, none exoept Dvis
are under indictment. AH the rest have
either abjured the country like Benjamin, aui
taken up their residence abroad, or the are
living In the Southern States forgotten, and
under no danger of molestation; so that, in
fact, the oase of Davis is the only one affeoted;
and from what danger does he escape f II is
any fane man for years thought that Jefferson
Paris would ever l punished ? We thiuk
but few such will be found. The farce of a
trial, continued from term to term, was kept
up, but all expected it to end just
as it has done. lie has not been in danger of
his life sinoe he took off the female garmeuts
in which he fled, nor has public sentiment
been suoh as to demand his execution. Had
the sentenoe of death been pronounoed, the
voice of the people, ever inclined to lean
towards leniency, would have demanded that
his life be spaied; so that, even in regard to
this individual instance, the proclamation,
sounding so grandly, is but waste of ink and
parohment. It may be said that under it
such men as Dr. Dlackburne, of yellow
fever fame, and the - assassins who hid
in Canada, can now return. Bat this is an
error. Treason is the only fcrime pardone.l;
and there ia a vast difference between treason
and murder. All the incendiaries and poi
soners are in just as muoh danger now as
they were before the manifesto, "Done iu the
city of Washington, on the 25 th day of De
cember, A. D. 18U8," was made public No
one of these fellows dare come within the
borders of the United States, llenco, the
only effect produced by the proclamation is to
give the nominal bondsman of Jefferson Davis
an opportunity to see their bonds cancelled.
All this was known to Andrew.Johnson
before he issued the Christmas dooutnent.
lie knew it was "sounding brass and a tinkling
cymbal," that it would have no influence and
le a waste of words; yet he issued it. No
stronger proof is needed of the utter weakness
of his charaoter. Bat while it does nothing,
yet it shows the animus of the man. He de
sires to help the Southern traitors; he is lost
to all sense of his duty to the North, and now
when the eve of his administration id ap
proaching, and when any . gentleman
would be careful not to do auythlug
to interfere with the polioy o(
his suooessor, he seizes the last opportunity,
and exhibits his impotent malioe before all
the world. But the country can bear with
equanimity a few more suoh utterances. The
day for them is nearly ended, and Mr. Johnson
is aoting on the principle to "improve eaoh
Shining hour." There remain just sixty
seven days more, and then Greenville will
receive its faverite son never, never to part
with him again.
The Nnprtme Court of the Unitetl States.
, Two projects affecting the Supreme Court of
the United States are being dlsoussed at
Washington, and both of them are deserving
of Buooess. The one is to pass a law providing
for the retirement of suoh of the judges as
Lave reached the age of seventy years, on full
pay. Senator Wilson submitted a proposition
to this effect a few days ago, but as yet its
prospects of passing are sot known. It Is
said that a majority of the members of the
Court are in favor of the scheme. The justices
referred to are probably the younger and more
effiolent members of the Court, who find their
elder colleagues more of an enoumbranoe
than anything else. The only mem
bers of the Court who would be
affeoted by the law, if passed, are Jastioes
Orier and Nelson. The former is now about
seventy-four years of age, has long been in
extremely feeble health, and is said to sleep
away the time while sitting with his colleagues
upon the benoh. J astioe Nelson is even older,
having passed his seventy-sixth birthday.
That men whose lives have been devoted to
such burdensome labors should- retaia all the
vitality, energy, and ability of their youth to
suoh an extreme old age ia not to be expeoted.
The tenure of their oflioe being for life, under
the provisions of the Constitution itself, we
cannot demand of them a resignation, after
they have devoted the best years of their
lives to the service of the Republic. It is
nothing more than simple justioe to give them
an opportunity to retire from the aolive labors
of their positions on full pay, when they have
been incapacitated by weight of years for the
proper discharge of these labors. Since a law
is now in force which prohibits any new ap
pointments to the Supreme Benoh until the
number of judges has been reduced to less
than tlx by death, resignation, or removal,
there would be no occasion for supplying
vacancies for some time to oome.
The other project looks towards an Increase
in the salaries of the judges of the Court, and
this should likewise at once oommaBd the in
dorsement of all thinking men. Under the
present law the Chief Justice is in reoeipt Of
the paltry sum of $0500 by way of a salary,
the assooiate justioes receiving but $U000.
When these insignificant sums are compared
with the munificent pensions conferred by the
British Government on outgoing Lord High
Chancellors, a sense of shame, if nothing more,
should prompt us to make amends. It is said
that, as yet, no member of the Court has made
direct complaint of the insufficiency of his
salary, but it is well known that Justioe
Curtis, of Massachusetts, resigned some years
ago beoause of the insignificant salary which
he received. The present members of the
Court do not all rank among the first law
yers of the country, but it is doubtful if
any one of the number would not be
able to earn more money by the practioe of
his profession than he receives from the Gov
ernment for Bitting in the highest judiolal
tribunal in the country. Nor can a lawyer
of liberal eduoation and large praotioe afford
to go upon the benoh as things now are. Vir
tually, the Government can command the ser
vices of second-rate men only; and the his
tory of the Supreme Court during the last
quarter of a oentury proves that it ha3 suc
ceeded in obtaining the services of such men
only, as a general rule. There are thousands
of positions in the gift of the Executive branch
of the Government which yield their incum
bents much higher incomes, many of them
amounting to $50,000 or more per year; and
yet the Supreme Court of the United States
tliould be composed of the ablest and most
upright men in the oountry. While a oivil
service pystem is sadly needed to re
duce the expended and increase the re
sources of the Government in all its
branches, justioe demands that the salaries of
the judges of the Supreme Court should be
increased to an amount that is, in some
degree, commensurate with the labors and re
sponsibilities exacted of them.
Womin's rights, bo long overshadowed by
their wrongs, are at last oreeping forth from
under the clouds into the full light of day.
Such, at least, is our inference from an exami
nation of the account of Miss M. Beeby, the
treasurer of the Women Righters who have
recently been congregated about a tea-table
cut at St. Louis. Miss Beeby, in reporting her
operations for a year past, stated that she
received the sum of $19 from her predecessor;
that one lady had opened her heart and her
purse-strings to the extent of $14; and that,
after paying some advertising bills, she had
10-85 in the treasury over and above the
amount therein when the keys were
placed in her hands. This is
certainly flattering for the hopes of the
TV male Suffragists. All the current exponses
of a year's labor have been paid, and an in
crease in the funds of the St. Louis concern to
the extent of $0-85 is the enoouraging result.
By a slight exercise of our mathematical turu
of mind, we contrive to arrive at the circum
stance that St. Louis Women Righters com
mence the new year with $19 85. From a wise
and liberal use of this magnificent surplus
great things may bo expected. We are even
inclined to indulge in the fancy that Mr.
James Gordon Bennett may bo induced to
renew his effort at paying oft the national
debt by voluntary subscription, on con
dition that the St. Louis Female Suf
fragists will pledge themselves to devote all
that remains in their strongbox, after they
have successfully accomplished the great
work they have in baud, towards helping Mr.
Bennett through with his herculean task.
The simple truth of the whole matter lies just
here: no sensible woman desires the privilege
of voting, and no sensible women or men are
willing to throw away their money in the pur
suit of suoh an ultra-utopian impossibility.
The ranks of the Women Righters are filled
up with strong-minded women who were
originally intended to be of the tnasouline
gender, and with weak-minded men, who
would have been women if the eternal fitness
of things always prevailed in our mundane
affairs.
Frank and Liberal. The New York Tri.
tune calls attention to the fact that among the
"public doouments" sent free through the
post effice, under the printed frank of the
"Hon." W. B. Linooln, member of Congress
from the Owego district of New York, are the
oiroulars of a book -publishing concern of New
York city I Both Mr. Linooln and the New
York publishers doubtless regard the franking
privilege as one in the general interest of the
dissemination of knowledge.

Here's a wagon and harness a speckled borso
Which Sammy and Joe bo'.h want, of oourse.

For these lively critters. Bain my and Joe,
Will presently smanh these glmcrack toys,
Juht like other destructive boys I
I want to buy
Something that I
Can give 10 the boys with the hope that It'll

That won't smash up so awfully last.
Oh! Uol!

Belling so cheap lot eaoh good boy.

was pronounoed by the physicians who at
tended me to be in the last stages of Pulmo
nary Consumption, and that my end was near at
hand.
At this critical stage of affairs I was indaoed
by a friend to give "Wishart's Pine Tree Tar
Cordial" a trial. I did so, and I was almost
immediately relieved. I persevered, took
fonrteen bottles of the "Pine Tree Tar Cor
dial," and was completely restored to health
once more I Pour years have elapsed since my
miraculous restoiation to health, and I am
still in the enjoyment ef moBt excellent health,
and would say in all siuoerity that, under
God, I owe my life and health to "Dr. Wis
hart's Piue Tree Tar Cordial I" I advise all
poor, lingering consumptives, if they value
lite and health, to give the "Pine Tree Tar
Cordial" a trial. Aauon E. Bukb.
