NOTICE TO OFFICE-HOLDERS. We command to the office-holders, who are to bo marched to Philadelphia in a little while under a sort of military general order to vote in Convention for the renomination of General Grant, euch comfort as they may bo able to gather ftom the following, which we clip from the New York Evening Post : 11 In conversation with a Republican Congressman from Ohio, a day or two ago, President Grant said that in case of his redaction he intended to make a general changeof office-holders through out the country. As a fule, he said, he did not believe that any person who hold office during one administration should be retained during the next one, but that it was simple Justice to keep all 'faithful officers until they had served four years.” • ; . ■ ' The object of this expression of the Presidential purpose was, wo suppose, to give notice to Republicans not in of fice that in case of General Grant’s re election, and they came up vigorously to his support, .there would bea-chanoq, for them at the flesh-pots. This, as a . strategic movement, is not without its drawbacks; for though it proposes to do the handsome thing by the, outs, it can hardly be considered encouraging to the ins. Wo believe the great army of office-holders is pul down at some thing like fifty thousand, Tney con stitute the backbone of the Presid.-ut’s hopes for reelection. I*n fact, the Phil adelphia Convention is purely an office holders* convention, and lias come to be so regarded. It is therefore hardly doing the civil thing by them for the President to serve upon them this no tice : “ That in case of his reolection he intended to make h genera! change of office-holders throughout the country.” Reelect me, says. General Grant, and then, on the 4th of March, .1873, 1 will kick you all out of office. - The question arises how this announcement will affect 1 the aforesaid backbone. The conclusion of the common and unstrat egic. mind would be that it would break it. Perhaps,,however, the fifty thousand, under so imperious a task -master as General Grant, have become so debased in their own esteem and so broken in spirit that they are ready, I first, to obey the general order to gath er together in undivided support of their chief, and then graciously accept the promised kicking. Of course this is no affair of ours. We have no wish to lay down a policy for the President, or to indicate what the movement of his political backbone should be. Only, for the sake of that honor which is said to exist among thieves, if for no betterreason, we don’t like to see the unmerciful master lash his supple and servile instruments too severely. The President orders them to lie down find make a “ stair of necks’ ’ up which he may walk to the Presiden tial seat, and then they are to be beheaded. If these fifty thbustnd per sons are not blind in the eye as well as subservient in spirit, they will proceed at once to pack their fifty thousand trunks, for due notice has been given them that oven if General Grant is xe elected they are to be sent adrift. THE AMNESTY BILL. ' The Amnesty bill, which, obtained I the requisite two-thirds vote in each 1 House, and was signed by the", President I soon after its passage, removes the dis- i abilities,-imposed by the 1 Article of the amendments tp the con stitution of the United States. This article provides that no'person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or .elector of President or Vice Presi dent, Or hold any office, civil or milita ry, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously ta ken the oath as a member of Congress, or as any officer of the United States, or as a member of any State Legislature, or as an executive or judicial orticei of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have been engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or com fort to the enemies thereof. The bill just signed removes the disabilities from all persons whomsoever, except Sena tors and Representatives of the Thirty -1 sixth and Thirty-seventh. Congresses, officers in the Judicial, military and naval services of the United .States, heads of departments and foreign min isters of the United States. The excep tions will, it is supposed, cover less than two hundred cases, including Jefferson Davis ami John C Brfjckin ridge. ANOTHER STEP TOWAED DESPOTISM. Tlie writ of habeas corpus is one which, from the remotest period of English history, has been used to re cover freedom wrongfully taken away. Tt has been deemed for ages the palla dium of liberty, the protection of the people against the aggressions of pow- er. " In the great charter which the barons of England wrasted from the unwilling hands of John, one of the most wicked and worthless of English kings, the principle was laid down that no man shall be taken or imprisoned but by the lawful judgement of his peers or by the law of the land ; and it is, upon the writ of habeas corpus that dependents has always been laid to enforce this great principle of the peasonal liberty Of the citizen. During the reign of Charles.!., who, it will be remembered, finished his career on the scaffold, per sonal liberty was frequently violated, While the Judges by various means managed to evade the proper execution of the writ upon which so much de pended, At length, in the thirty-first year of tho reign of Charles 11., the law of habeas corpus, as it now stands, was enacted. In its present form it consists of a variety of provisions devised with so much skill, and so well adapted to supeort each other, that it has been asserted by the most eminent jurists that personal liberty can be In no dan ger in England or the United States so long as this law is enforced. This brief history of tho habeas corpus becomes of inters! in view of the fact that on Wednesday of last week, 'the United States Senate itidefiauae of tho ninth section of the first article of tho Federal Constitution, which provides that the provisions of the act shall not bo suspended except In cases of rebel-, lion or invasion tho public safety may require it, by a vote of 28 to 15 passed a bill faking away from American citl ' sens tho right to demand tlie protection 1 of this safeguard during the approach , ing Presidential election. If this is the result pf leas than four * years of Grantism, what might not be ’ expected by tho end of another term o successful aggressions upon tho moat ’ k?W i)Cd rights of the people the public debt aßd THE ADMBSIS- TEATION, Tho friends of the Administration are on ail occasions representing that there has been a large reduction of tho public debt within tho last four years, and £h it, therefore, great credit is due to General Grant for tho wisdom of his financial policy. People who do not take the trouble to examine the justije and foundation of ft claim are apt to credit boastful as sertion, and persistent lying sometimes wins belief. The speech of Mr. Hereford, of West Virginia, dlivered in ihb House of Rep resentatives on the 4th ol the present month, is a careful and thorough dis cussion of tho claim of the Radicals to credit for reducing the public debt, and shows by facts and figures more plainly than any document that has yet been given te tho public the profligacy and waste of the political empirics now controlling the national finances, and^ I how painfully and shamefully dispro portionate is the alleged reduction of the debt to the amount of money wrung I by taxation from the hard earnings of I the people under the pretence of paying 1 it. He says : According to the finance report for, 1871, submitted to the 12d Congress by the present Secretary of the Treasury, I on page 369, wo-find that the debt of the I Government reached its maximum, its highest figure, duly 1, 1860, when it j was, according to that report, $2,773,- 236,173.0!). t By the same report we are tola, on page 364, that since the war closed .there has been received into the .treas ury in— isia-oQ 18C8-67 ISU7-4W,.... im- CD..... 18t«-70 1870-7 J Making 11 total of. $2,681,113,981 00 According to a report of the same of ficer, sent into this Congress, in answer to a resolution offered by ray friend from New York, (Mr. Wood,) he shows us that there has been received into the Treasury from June 30, 1871, dote last referred to, up to March 1,1872, the additional sum of $250,509,988,00; mak ins% according to the reports of the Treasury Department; the enormous sum of $2,930,053,970.46 since the close of the war. But, large as those receipts seem to be, we must not stop there.- The Secretary of War also, in answer to a resolution introduced by my friend from Kentucky, (Mr. Beck,) March 11, 1872, shows that there has been received by the War Department in excess of appropriations since June 30,1865; and which amount has never heretofore, ap peared In any report as received into the Treasury, the sum of $107,959,416.62; which amount, added to the previous receipts, as shown by the various De- | nartments themselves, makes the amount received into the Treasury since the war closed, all-of which time the Republican party has had the con trol of the Government, the enormous sum of $3,039,993,387.08, which is $266,- 757.213.89 more than the whole debt of j the United States amounted to July 1, 1866. Now, in the name of common honesty and commonsense, what comes j of all this boasting and para e of the I decrease of the public debt? Nor do 1 stop here. By their own showing they have Sold $8,280,093.13 worth of arms to the French Government, which has never been accounted for in, these re- Nor can I atop here. At the close ol the war, as shown by the Navy Regis ter of that year, we had belonging to j the navy six hundred and eighty-three | vessels; now, according to the same authority, we have only one hundred, and seventy-seven ; making five hun l dred and six that have been disposed ol by that department.. Nearly three times as many vessels have been sold, or in some way disposed of, as are now in the navy. What has become of this vast armament, this mighty fleet of vessels? Sold! What has become of the money 1! Who knows how much they were worth ? No wonder we ha ve hot sufficient navy to protect our citi zens in foreign lands! No wonder the eloquent voices of the distinguished gentlemen from Indiana (Mr. Voorhees) and from Massachusetts (Mr. Banks; and others fell unheeded the other day in these Halls in favor of tho release pi Dr. Uouard, who is now confined m chains by Spanish authority ! What answer is it to the people, whose agents you are, to say that you have decreased the debt since the war $■494,716,575.15, when they, have paid you nearly seven times as.much,_viH. $3,039,993,387.08? What answer is it to the people when you not only have re ceived that amount besides the 5|,b,-BU,- 093.13 received for, the arms sold ip the French, and also the five hundred and , six vessels sold from tho navy ?' 011 can no longer deceive the people; they will hurl you from power as unworthy agents. Mr. Hereford then proceeds to show, from tables furnished in the official re ports, that whilst the legitimate expen ses of the Government, as claimed by the Administration, are infinitely be yond all precedent in our history, they are still not large enough to account for the enormous sum collected. What has become of the immense balance of millions and millions? Where has It gone? Who will answer? The argu ment is clear, condensed and able, and its conclusions are Irons figures and statements furnished by the official re ports of Executive officers, and cannot be denied or answered. The magnitude of the sums wasted by the profligacy of the Administration is certainly start ing. Never were revenue laws enforced with more unjust discrimination than ours are. Take an example. The duties are remitted on foreign goods, if de stroyed by fire when in bond, or if lost at sea; but as to domestic merchandise the ruling of the internal, revenue department is the reverse. If tobacco, whisky, or any other property of a citizen of the United States be destroyed or damaged while in charge of the internal revenue department, there is no relief or abatement. The whole tax must be paid, though nothing is left on which to pay It. Andy Johnson is expected to stump the norther states in favor of Greeley and Brown. If, in his swinging around the circle, lie reaches Harrisburg, he will have a hard time to get hotel ac commodations, as it is a difficult thing to collect his last bills for board and whisky.— Slate Journal. As Ulysses was one of the most prominent members of Andy Johnson’s junketing party, and consumed more than his share ol the whisky, his organ should not be so ready to obtrude this matter on the attention of the public - To avoid further scandal it should in sist on the prompt payment dl the bill. —Patriot.

DEAR' Sir: The National Conven tion of the Liberal Republicans qf the United States has instructed the under signed to inform you'that you havfl been nominated as the candidate of the Liberal Republicans for the Presidency of the United States., Wo also submit to vou the address and resolutions unanimously adopted by the Convon tioa Be pleased to signify to us your acceptance of the platform and the nomination, and believe us, very truly, yOUrS, CARL SchurZ, President. (j. w. Julian, Vice Presidents WM. E. McLean, . John G. Davidson, , j. H. Rhodes, ’ Secretaries. Hon. Horace Greeley, New York. Mr. Greeley's Eeply, New York, May 20, Gentmmbn : I have chosen not to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 3d inst. until I could learn how the work of your Convention was re ceived in all parts of our great coun try. and udge whether that work was approved and ratified by the mass ot our fellow citizens. .Their response has from day to day,, reached mo through the telegrams, letters, and the com ments of journalists independent of official patronage and iudiflerent to the smile orfrowns of.power. The number and character of these, unconstnned, uupurchased, unsolicited utterances satisfy me that- the movement which found expression at Cincinnati has re ceived the stamp ol public approval and been hailed by a majority of our countrymen as the harbinger of a bet ter day for the Republic. I do not misinterpret this approval as especially complimentary, to myself, nor even to the chivalrous and justly esteemed gentleman with whose name X thank your committee for associating mine. 1 receive and welcome it as a spontaneous and deserved tribute to that admiral platform of principles wherein your Convention so tersely, so lucidly, so forcibly set forth the convic tions which impelled, and the purposes’ which guided its course; a platform which, casting behind it the wreck and rubbish of worn out contention and by-gone feuds,’ embodies in fit and few words the needs and aspirations of to day. Though thousands stand ready to condemn your every act, hardly a syllable of criticism or cavil has been aimed at your platform, of which the 1 substance may bo fairly epitomized as follows. First. All the political rights and franchises which have been acquired through our late bloody; convulsions must and shall, be guaranteed, main tained, enjoyed and respected ever more. ' ' ' ' ’ , Second. All the political rights and franchises which have been lost.through that convulsion should and must, be promply restored and re-established, 0 that , there shall be henceforth I no proscribed class, and ■no disfranchised caste within the limits of our Union, whose long estranged people shall re unite and fraternize upon ,the, broad basis of universal amnesty, and impar tial sufferage. : Third. That, subject to our solemn constitutional obligation to maintain the equal rights of all citizens, our poliby should aim at local self govern ment, and not at centralization; that the civil authority should be supreme over the military; that the writ of Habeas corpus should be jealously up held as the safeguard of personal free dom ; that the individual citizen should 1 enjoy the largest liberty consistent with public order, and that there shall be no Federal subversion of the internal pol icy of the several States and munici palities, but that each shall be left free to enforce the rights and . promote the well being of its inhabitants by such means as the judgement of its own people shall prescribe. Fourth. There shad be a real, and not merely assimulated, reform in the civil service of the Republic; to which end it is indispensable that the chief dispenser of its vast official patronage shall be shielded from the main temptation to use his power selfishly by a rule forbidding and precluding reelection; that the raising of reve nue, whether by tariff or otherwise, be recognized and treated as the people’s immediate business, to be shaped and directed them through their Representa tives in Congress, whose action thereon the President must neither overrule by ids veto, attempt to dictate, nor pre sumo to punish; by bestowing office only on those who agree with him, or wthdrawing it from those who do not. Fifth. That tho public lands must be aaCredly reserved -for occupation and ao quision by cultivators, and not reckless ly squandered ou the projectors of rail roads, for which our people have no pres ent need, and the premature ooustructiou of which is annually plunging us into deeper aud deeper into foreign Indebted ess. , Sixth. That tho achievement of these purposes of universal beneficence is expected and sought-at the hands of all who approve them*, irrespective of party affiliations. Seventh. That the public faith must at all hazards be maintained and the na tional credit be preserved. Eighth. That the patriotic devoteduess and Inestimable services of our fellow joitizens, who, as soldiers or callors, up held the flag and maintained the unity of the Republic, shall ever be gratefully remembered and honorably requitted. These propositions, so ably and forci bly presented in, the platform of your Convention, have already fixed the at tention and commanded the attention of a large majority of our countrymen, who. joyfully adopt them, as I do., as the basis of a true, beneficent national reconstruc tion; of a new departure from jealousies, strifes,; aad bates, which have no ade-. quate "motives, or even a, plausible pre text, into an atmosphere of peace, fra ternity, and mutual good-twill. In vain do the drill-sergeants of decaying organ izations flourish menacingly . their truncheons and anerily..insist that the files shall be closed and straightened. In, vain do the whippersdh of parties; ofice vital because rooted in the vital needs, of, the, hour, ; pvQtWt against straying and bolting, denounce mep nowise in feriors as traitors and- renegades;' and threaten them- with infamy and ruin.' I am confident that the: American pec* pie have already made your cause their own, fully resolved that their brave hearts and strong arms'shall bear it in' tr int?dB faith, and with'the understand ing that if elected, I shall be the Presi dent not of a party, but of the whole people, I accept your nomination,: In the confident trust that the masses of our countrymen, North and South, are eager to clasp hands across the bloody chasm I which has too long divided them, for- I getting that they have been enemies in • the Joyful coußciouanea that tney. are, | and must henceforth.remain, brethren. •Yours, gratefully, Horace Greblv.

At four o clock p. m; a dense cloud was obaervecl rising, in'the southwest and every one. hailed the prospect of a thunder-shower with delight. At flve p. m. it struck in all its fury, and 1 old residents saythat it is the worst that has'occurred here for '3O years. Just as the storm was break ing in all its force, a large waterspout was observed to strike in the Beads near the Bif>'Baps, and takeits way to ward the sea. ' , .-" . Captain Callum, of York county, who runs a little sloop,, assisted hy a, man and a boy, waa golng to Hampton, and had lust passed the wharf and got inside the bar in two fathoms of water when the squall struck. The captain was aft at t he wheel while the other two were on the forward part, of the vessel. The shock was too much for her, and she foundered in a very few seconds.. The man and boy succeeded in getting into the yawl boat, but the captain became entangled in the rigging, and before the others could get to his assistance he was drowned., xhe body was washed ashore hud was found on, the beach this morn- Ing. The coroner held an inquest on the body, after which it was placed in a coffin and taken to Yorktown for in terment. .. . ■ One of the passengers on the steamer Mystic, coming from Norfolk to Hamp ton last evenihg alter .the storm, states that four or five cftnbes ■ Were seen off Hew ell’s point, bottom upwards. A large number of these canoes are used by the colored men for fishing and oys taring, and it is feared that the occu pantsof those seen have found a Watery gnvve. in Hampton and that vicinity the storm did a great deal of damage to fen ces, houses, etc., hut no casualties are reported, the roof of a cottage belong ipo- to 0. C. Willard,. Esq., was blown oil', while a building in Hampton, oc cupied as a colored Odd Follows’ lodge, was blown down, and one of their churches was unroofed. In the country ouo or two houses was blown down, but they were very meagre affairs, and the damage to fences and timber was con siderable. A schooner lying at the whar f in Hampton was sunk, but for tunately no lives Were lost. Thecopius rain which followed the stormhas been worth thousands of dollars to our far mers and trackers, as their crops were greatly in need of it. TWO BOILER EXPLOSIONS.
