-• - The Great Pardoner.
• A valued whange writes thus sensibly
under the above caption: There is no ruler,
that we. now remember of who has granted
as many pardons during his entire reign- as
has Andrew Johnson iu the.twenty_menths .
that he has been President of the -United
States. WAN and traitors, countafeiters
and mail -robbers, assassins and 'perjurors,
'criminals of every grade, from a .riturderer
to a Magdelcm!, have been.:Vlirdoned by„ his
Accidency oh a grand scale. Counterfeiting
tike currency of the State, in most countries,
is ' - teapital crime, and is punished with death,
"atill under our laws, _we think, by heavy
thi s 6 and a long imprisonment, and it is a
fact. worthy of note that out of over sixty
persons convicted of counterfeiting; not n
single ono has been- punished, but all have
been pardoned. Dues the Presiderl l t'rgard
^this of once as no - crime? Can it his that he
thinks thcoAtiming Ut StlliTiotls money is a
thing not to be regardc
pun
ishment 1 /t "50... why Incur the va4 expense
of 'ferreting out the dens of this class bf
criminals? Why not repeal , the laws' upon.
this subject, and put analend '.to this stu
pendous farce of going through the form of
trial, only to witness in the end tho-Couvict
-ed.-felon-unconditionally released-Spurious
currency now floods the country, find coun
terfeits aro as thick, almost, as bristles upon
a swine's back, yet nothing can be done to
prevent this dangerous class of criminals
from continually increasing the — volume of
this swindling currency, because the Presi
dent will not permit a single member of
this swindling fraternity to be made an ex
ample of.
Perhaps the President designs to make
counterfeiting " odious," and he proceeds
upon-the same theory
,and practice that ho
does in relattievrio the - rebels: The philan
thropy and clemency of President Johnson
is becoining world-wide, and the people of
other countries will soon be chanting the
praises of Saint Ancketo, Vic Groot For
giver !
The clemency of his excellency- not only
manifests itself in issuing pracions.t);v whole
sale to rebels -mid counterfeiters, but, on one
occasion, :the proprietress of a notoious
gnttibling hell in Walhington city was par
doned by him, and yet in less than one week
afterwards she was arrested for similar mis
conduct, committed subsequent to her par
don._
If the President has such a kind hearrand
forgivfng disposition, ho should exercise
them towards those who are compelled
.to
differ with him on questions of public inter
est ; yet ho is more intolerent towards the
mon who 'oppogn him in any of •'his wild
notions and suicidal theories than the most
bigoted ChEholT in fli - O - dap of religious
persecution was towards the Protestants that
ha ordered to be burned at the stake.
prominent men who have seen tit to question
e the wisdom of some of his measures and
the soundness of some of his theories in a
manner that would do credit to some of the
most arbitrary despots that ever wielded
the sceptre of an empire.
When we look over the character of those
that Mr. Johnson's sympaties seems most
to go did after, we are led to the conclusion
that he is the patron saint of treason, swiml
- ling mid - delliafelfayl — lf the
any. individual can be inferred from the

OUR. COUNTY SCErOOLS--
Mod of.nur renders Are nrN.ro of the fliffieta
ty existing at, present in the management of
the^ common schools of our county_ which
._ are under ! tbe contra of-the Stab Depart
ment. The facts are briefly ita follows : In
May last the regular tri-ennial election for
County School §uperinteildent was bold in
Carlisle.. There were, but two candidates
for the position. - Cr:oath , : SWA RTZ, who
• had been for the three previous years, the
inciimbent; and lonn Unryr,Erixamt. In
a poll.of _ninety-nine votes Alle_latter`bad:a
majority of seven, and was declared elected.-
Before ll , fr;II. had been commissioned,
majority of the echoed bodrds, believing, that
his literary and scientific qualiflcations were
fur below the requirements of the law, and
knowing that if the Political trick by which -
it was attempted to foist him into position
was not exposed Mid frastrated,gmat injury
would result to the school si;lem, petitioned
the torito authorities to institute an exami
nation into the qualifications of the success
ful pandidatO. Tliis examination was held
and the result was a unanimous 'verdict of
.tln!scommittoo against Mr.. lIEFTELFINOICIt.
In this contingency the law provides that the
commission, in the absence Of any evidence
of 'disqualification, must issue to tho person
,haVing the .riot highest number of votes,
and undor.thiS - piovision GRo. Swnwrz re.

litical friends belie been throwing every
Bible obstaelo in th way of the successful ad
ministration of,the duties of the Superintend

An attempt to coniply..with the. provisions

A short time ago we were confronted by
the ugly fact that every one of the ten rebel
States had arrayed itself against the proposed
a mend men t to the nation a l:constitution, and
in view of this ugly fact ,the copperhead or
gans constantly asked us what we proposed
to do to git rid of this "dead as the
Now York World termed it. On a calm
review of the situation, we concluded that
there was no necessity of our doing_anythijig,
'ii . Firsu.7iiil7lTili - e — iefef - States chose to go
unrepresented until after the ensuing Presi

without incommoding us in any way, and
then he gratilled with the rule of a real Re
publican successor to Andrew Johti`sott as
resident.
This panacea appears to he,:plitid tieing a
decided effect at the south. The Governor ,
of Alabama has sent as special message to
the Legislature of that State, stating that
Lhu f. radicals " are determined at all haz- -
ards to enforce their terms of restoration,
and that as the cardinal principle seems to
be favorable action on the constitutional a
nie-mlnicift, he recommends its ratification.
Of course 611 . C11 11111CSS26) caused a prodig

Legislature being opposed to ratification:—

a great deal about the sufferings ` of these
