GENERAL AMNESTY ,
Under the impression that all the bad
feeling between different sections of our
country should be removed, and in com
pliance with the recommendation of the
President in his annual Message to Con
gress, a general amnesty bill will probably
be enacted during the present session.—
This is as it should be. Whatever of
wrong was done during or since the war,
no good can come from a spirit of retalia
tion. The best and wisest men both
North and South are daily manifesting
a growing desire to secure the strongest
fraternal union, and in politics and busi
ness to work together for the general pros
perity of all the States. During the past
month Gem Sherman has received a large
number of letters from ex-Generals-and
other officers of the army of the extinct
Southern Confederacy, tendering their
military services in case they should be
required in the interests of the flag of our
Union, accompanied with pledges of fealty
and patriotism. Some of these letters he
has acknowledged, with an assurance that
if their services should be required they
will be cheerfully accepted. It is hoped,
however, that the opportunity will not
come for these volunteer services to be
required. Yet the offer may be taken as
a pledge that the same disposition will be
manifested by those patriotic spirits to aid
in harmonizing the two great sections of
the country in other ways, as opportunity
may occur, and in striving to bring peace,
good will and prosperity to every family
in the land.
Another notable incident, in this con
nection, is the fact that while the Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens was addressing the
House of Representatives, on the salary
bill, a few days ago, there were, in their
seats around him, not less than a dozen or
fifteen Generals and Colonels of the late
Confederate army ! This is magnanimity,
and that is one of the finest attributes of
a great government. President Grant and
the people contemplate with pride, today,
the fact that during the whole -period of
the great war of the rebellion not a man
in the ranks of the enemy, when taken
captive, was ever executed; and while
hundreds, aye thousands, were captured
running the blockade and carrying arms,
ammunition and stores to the enemy, not
a soul was ever put to death for his crimes
against the government. How nobly this
humane and magnanimous policy contrasts
with the course pursued towards the un
fortunate and hapless captives of the Vir-
ginius
Let us have a general amnesty bill, and
with it let all have a hand to grasp and a
heart to welcome those who, from politi
cal causes, have been too long estranged
from each other. Shall we not look upon
the passage of au amnesty bill as introdu
cing a new cra of fraternal union, peace
and prosperity throughout the wide dc
main?
THE SALARY BILL,
From all that has been said in debate
in Congress on the increase of salaries and
back pay, it is pretty evident that the six
millions of voters throughout the country
will require to give the screws another
turn or two upon the consciences of Con
gressmen before ary material change will
be made in the law of last session upon the
subject. The spasmodic effort of
_two or
three scores of members, to present bills
on the subject during the first two or
three days of the session, is now shown to
have been merely a blind. The Househas
spent a day or two debating the question,
evidently with no serious intention of
meeting the views of the country, by re
turning to the former scale of salaries.
Some few members aro really honest in
their efforts to repeal the bill of last ses
sion and fix members' salaries at 65,000
actual traveling expenses, but the greater
portion of them have resolved to prevent
this, if possible.

News and Notes from Washington
National Legislation—An increase of Revenue
Taxes Proposed—Alleged Frauds to the Freed
man's Bureau—A Colored Convention on Civ
il Rights—Free Nail Matter.
WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 15, 1873.
Both branches of the United States Congress
have taken bold of the work of the Session with
en energy that augurs well for the prompt dispatch
of business. Over five hundred billa and resolu
tions have already been presented in the House,
and sonic of them have gone through both ...ranch
es and are ready to receive the President's signa
ture. Thursday and a portion of Friday were de
voted to a discussion of the beck-pay bill. The
indications are that those who desire to see the
hill of last Session repealed will be disappointed.
AN INCREASE OF INTERNAL RETENCE TAXES
Secretary Richardson has addressed a letter to
Mr. Dawes, chairman of the House Committee on
Ways and Means, setting forth that the revenues
of the government are not sufficient 10 meet the
demands made upon it, and requesting that speedy
legislation be bad to place at his disposal the ad
ditional sum of forty-two million dollars. To meet
these demands he recommends the restoration of
duty on tea and coffee, (which will yield about
$20,000,000,) and an increase of ten cents per gal
lon on the tax imposed on whisky, four cents per
pound on tobacco, and the re-enactment of the law
taxing the gross receipts of railroad companies,
express companies, Sc. If this should not be suf
ficient to meet the contingency, he recommends the
restoration of taxes included in schedule 11 of the
revenue law.
FREEDMEN'S =TREAD FRAUDS.
The Secretary of War has sent a letter to the
House of Bapresentatives in relation to the char
ges of fraud and malfeasance in office against
d3rig.Sten. 0..0. Howard, in connection with his
/management of Hie Freedmen's Bureau. This let
ter is accompained by evidence from the records
and accounts of the late bureau, which, it isclaim-
ed, sustain the charges. The 41st Congress, it will
be remembered, at the instance of Fernando
Wood, investigated Gen. Howard and virtually ex
onerated him from being influenced by improper
motives in his management of the affairs of the
Freedmen's Bureau. Subqucntly it was alleged
that Gen. Balloch, Howard's chief disbursing offi
cer, bad kept $135,000 of the bureau funds on de.
posit in a bank, and has been drawing interest
EDITOR
upon it, and disposing of it, as he claimed, to make
good the leases of himself and brother officers sus
tained by erroneous payment of bounties. Hal
loch had previously resigned and could not be
tried. When the bureau was abolished, shortly
afterwards, Assistant Adjutant General Vincent
was put in charge of its papers, and began the in
vestigation which has led to the discovery of the
facts communicated to the House by the Secretary.
A preliminary report on the subject was made to
the House last session, but at too late a day for it
to be considered.
The Secretary in his letter says that the responsi
bility and accountability attaching to the lateeom
missioner, so far as now developed, amounts to up
wards of $278,573.66.
The Secretary says the commissioner was not
tried by court-martial because the latter became
barred in part, under the statute of limitations, be
fore it was discovered that he was amenable. The
Secretary believes ho could yet be tried on some
specified charges by court-martial, but deems it
beet that the entire subject should be submitted to
the House of Representatives. Ile also states that
"the Department of Justice, bun ever, has been
furnished wills some eases, sisal others are to fol
low, of apparent malfeasance, with a request to in
stitute either criminal suit or civil suit, to recover
moneys belonging to the 'United States, or both
suite, as may be proper, against such of the officers
and agents of the late bureau as may be liable."
The letter of the Secretary was presented to the
House on Friday and read, and after a short de
bate, in which a court martial was recommended,
it was finally referred to the Military Committee
without instruotions.
CIVIL RIGHTS CONV.TION,
A numerous delegation of colored citizens from
all sections of the Union was in session in Wash
ington a number of days last week, the object of
which appeared to be a general consultation and
concerted action in bringing their grievances be
fore Congress with a view of obtaining adequate
redress. Some good speeches were made and ap
propriate resolutions passed. On Friday nt 11
o'clock the delegation paid their respects to the
President.
THE FRANKING PRIVILEGE TORE RESTORED IN PART.
The House Committee on Post Offices and Post
Roads have prepared a bill for the consideration
of Congress. The bill agreed upon, in substance,
outhorizes public documents to be sent free
through the mails; the free exchange of newspa
pers, and the free delivery of newspapers in the
counties wherein they are published. In the dis
tribution of public documents a stamp is provided
to be placed in the custody of an officer of the
House, and to be attached to every book, pamph
let, and document sent from either branch of Con
gress,. To prevent the abuse of the power by un
authorized parties,, it is also necessary for the
name of the member sending a document to be
appended to the package. The committee agreed
to report favorably a bill looking to the free deliv
ery of seeds from the agricultural department, and
will no doubt regulate' their distribution similar
to the moans provided for sending public docu
ments. N. n. P.
Success Based Upcn Merit.
It is a suWeet of genentl maaxk, among both wholesale
and retail druggists, that no medicine introduced to the
American public has ever gained such pcpularity and met
with so huge a sale iu all parts of the lankin the same
length of time, es Dr. Pierre's Golden Medical Discovery.
This cannot depend upon its having been more largely
advertised than any other medicine, as mob is not the
case. The correct explanation, we thing, is found in the
fact that this medicine produces the most wonderful and
perfect cures of every bad eases of bronchial, throat and
lung diseases, la undoubtedly the most perfect and efficient
remedy for all kinds of coughs that has ever been intro
duced to the public, and at the same time possesses the
greatest of blood-purifying and strengthening properties
that medical science has been able to produce, thus render
ing it a sovereign remedy not only in the cure of Con
sumption, Bronchitis, Ilotmeness and Coughs, but also
for all diseases of the liver and blood, us scrofulous dis
eases, blotches, rough skin, pimples, black specks and dis
colorations. It has therefore a wide range of application
and usefullness, and it only gives the most perfect satis
faction to all who use it, but far exceeds the expectations
of the most Pniuguine, than eliciting the loudest praise, and
making permanent living advertising meditims of all who
use it. For these reasons it is that these is nut perhaps a
druggist in all the vast domain of this continent, who
tries to please his customers and supply their wants, that
does not keep and sell large quantities of this most valua
ble medicine.

APPLETONS'
AMEtICAN CYCLOPADIA
NEW REVISED EDITION
Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every
subject. Printed from new type, and illustrated
with Several Thousand Engravings .d Maps.
The work originally published under the title of
Tue NEW AMERICA,/ CYCLOPEDIA woo completed
in 1863, since which time the wide circulation
which it has attained in all parts of the United
States, and the signal developments which have
taken place in every branch of science, literature
and art, have induced the editors and publishers
to submit it to an exact and thorough revision,
and to issue a new edition entitled TUE AMERICAX
CYCLOPEDIA.
Within the last ten years the progress of discov
ery in every department of knowledge has made a
new work of reference an imperative want.
The movement of politieal affairs has kept pace
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful
application to the industrial and useful arts and
the convenience and refinement of social life.
Great wars and consequent revolutions have oc
curred, involving national changes of peculiar
moment. The civil war of our own country, which
was at its height when the last volume of the old
work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new
course of oommercial and industrial activity has
been commenced.
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge
have been made by the indefatigable explorers of
Africa.
The great politicalrevolutions of the last decade,
with the natural result of the lapse of time, have
brought into public view a multitude of new men,
whose names are in every one's mouth, and of
whose lives every one is curious to know the par
ticulars. great battles have been fought and im
portant sieges maintained, of which the details are
as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the
transient publications of the day, but which ought
now to take their planin permanent and authen
tic history.
In preparing the present edition for the press,
it has accordingly been the aim of the editors ti
bring down the information to the latest possibl
dates, and to fur,"
rnich an accurate account . of
Inset recent discoveries in science, of every fresh
production in literature, and of the newest inven
tions in the practical arts,
as well as to give a
succinct and original record of the progress of po
litical and historical events.
The work has been begun after long and caret
preliminary labor. as* with the most ample
sources for carrying it on to a successful termie
tion.
None of the original stereotype plates have been
used, but every page has been printed on new
type, forming in fact a new Cycloptedia, with the
same plan and compass as its predecessor, bet
with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with
such improvements in its composition as have
been suggested by longer experience and enlarged
knowledge.
The illustrations which are introduced for the
first time in the present edition have been added
not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give
lucidity and force to the explanations in the text.
They embrace all branches of science and of natu
ral history, and depict the moot famous and re
markable features of scenery, architecture and art,
as well as the various processes of mechanics and
manufacturers. Although intended forinstruction
rather than embellishment, no pains have been
spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost
of their execution is enormous, and it is believed
they will find a welcome reception as an admira
blefeature of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of its
high charaoter.
. .
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable
on delivery of each volume. It will be completed
in sixteen large octavo volumes, each containing
about 800 pages, fully illustrated with several
thousand Wood Engravings, and with numerous
colored Lithographic Maps.

reasons which have alreaoy given it fifty thousand
subscribers, and which will, we hope, giveit many
thousands more, are briefly as follows:

day will be found in it, condensed when unim
portant, at full length when of moment, and always
presented in a clear, intelligible end interesting
planner.
It is a first-rate family paper,
full of entertain
ing and instructive reading of every kind, but
containing nothing that can offend the meat deli
cate and scrupulous taste.

romances of current literature are carefully selected
and legibly . printe;' in its pages.
It is a lest-rate agricultural paper. The most
fresh and instructive articles en agricultural topics
regularly appear in this department.
. .
It is an inllepeudent political paper, belonging
to no party and wearing no collar. t fights for
principle, and for the election of the best men to
office. It especially devotes its energies to the
exposure of the great corruptions thatnow weaken
and disgrace our country, and threaten to under
mine republican institutions altogether. 'than no
fear of knaves, and asks no favors from their sap
porters.
It reports the fashions for the ladies and the
markets for the men, especially the cattle-markets,
to which it pays particular attention.

dollar a year will secure it for any subscriber. It
