The Death Knell of Military Despotism in the South. By the President of the United States A Froclama ticn. Washington, July 3. Whbrkas, In the month of July, A. D. 1861, in accept ing the condition of civil war, which was brought about by insurrection and rebel lion in several of the States which consti tuted the United States, the two Houses of Congrees did solemnly declare that war was not waged on the part of the Govern ment in any spirit of oppression, nor for any purpose of conquest or subjugation, nor for any purpose of overthrowing or in terfering with the rights or established in stitutions of the Slates, but to defend and maintain the supremacy of the Constitu tion of the United States, and to preserve the Union, with all the dignity, equality and rights of the several States unimpaired and that as soon as these objects should be accomplished, the war on the part of the Government should cease, and, Whereas, The President of the United States has heretofore, in the spirit of that declaration, and with a view of securing for it the ultimate and complete effect, set forth several proclamations, offering am nesty and pardon to persons who had been or were concerned in the affurenamed re bellion, which proclamations, however, were attended with prudential reservation and exceptions thee deemed necessary and proper, and which proclamations were res pectively issued on the 8th day of Decem ber, 1860; on the 26th day of March, 1864; on the 29th day of May, 1865, and on 7th day of September, 1867; and, Wheras, The said lamentable civil war has long since altogether ceased with an acknowledgement by all the States of the supremacy cf the Federal Constitution and of the Government, therefore there no lon ger exists an reasonable ground to ap prehend a renewal of the said civil war, or aDy foreign interference, or any unlawful resistance by ary portion of the people of any of the States to the Constitution and laws of the United States ; and, Wkerzas, It is desirable to reduoe the standing army and to bring to speedy ter mination of military occupation, martial law, military tribunals, abridgement of the freedom of speech and the press, suspen sion of the privilege of habeas corpus, and Othe righls of trial by jury, and encroach ment upon our free institutions in time of peace, being dangerous to public liberty, incompatible with the individual rights of the citizens, contrary to the genius and spirit of our republican form of govern ment, and the exhaustion of the national resources ; and, Whereas, It is belived thai amnesty and pardon will tend to secure a complete and universal establishment and prevalence of municipal law and ordr, in conformity with the Constitution of the United States, and to remove all appearances and presump tions of retaliatory or vindictive policy on the part of the Government, attended by unnecessary disqualification, pains, penal ties, confiscations and disfranchisements, and on the contrary to promote and pro cure complete fraternal reconciliation among the whole people, with due submis sion to the Constitution and laws. Now, therefore be it knowD, that I, An drew Johnson, President of the United States, do, by virtue of the Constitution and in the name of the people of the Uni ted States, hereby proclaim and declare, unconditional and without reservation, to all and to every person who, directly or indirectly, participated in the late insur rection or rebellion, excepting such persons & may, under presentiment or indictment in any court of the United States having comnatent iuriadiction UDon a charge of treason or other felony, a fall pardon and X t x - amnesty for the offense of treason against the United States, or of adhering to her enemies during the late war, with a resto ration of all rights of property except as to slaves, and except also as to any property of which any person may have been legally divested under the laws of the United States. Ia testimony whereof I have sign ed these presents with my hand, and caus ed the seal of the United Slates to be here unto affixed. Done at the City of Washington, the 4th day of July, in the year of our Lord, one thousand eight hundred and sixty-eight of the Independence of the United States of America, the ninety third. Signed. Andrew Jonssow. William H. Ssward, Sec'y of State. A new way to collect old debts has beo found in Kentucky. The creditor had his debtor arrested for possessing counterfeit money, atii when tha officers mads a eearch and discovered $5,000 in genuine green backs, he attached the lot, securing his amount. 'Madam, a good many person were dis turbed at the concert last night by the cry ing of your baby." "Well, I do wonder nrtr,l will trn In concerts Newspaper Patronage. 1 Many long, weary years of experience in the newspaper business has forced the con viction upon us that newspaper patronage is a word of many definitions, and that a great majority of mankind are either ignorant of the correct definition, or are dishonest in a 6trict bibliaal sense of the word. Newspaper patronage is com posed of a3 many colors as the rainbow, and is as changeable as a chameleon. One man comes in and subscribes for a paper and pays for it in advanco, and goes home and reads it with the proud satisfac tion that it is his. He bands in his adver tisement ; asks the price, pays for it and returns to his place of business, and reaps the advantage thereof. This is newspaper patronage. Another man says "you may put my name on your books," and goes off without saying a word about pcy. Time passes on, and you want money, and ask him to pay what i i honestly due you. He flies in to a passion, perhaps pays, perhaps not, and orders his paper stopped. This is cal led newspaper patronage. Another man has been a subscriber for a very long lime,Jbut lias never paid a cent, asd at last becomes tired of vou and wants a change. He thinks he vr ants a city pa per. He tells the postmaster he don't want it, and you will get a paper marked "re fused." He will call and pay you af ter -a-while, he says. But he never does unless you rue him. And this, too, is cal led newspaper patronage. Another brings in a fifty cent advertise ment and wants a two dollar notice given it, and if you refuse, he goes off mad. And this is called newspaper patronage. Another man lives near who does not like the editor the paper is too small for him yet he goes regularly to his neigh bor's asd reads it, and finds fault with it, and quarrels with the opinion of the editor. I Occasionally he sees an article he likes, and begs or gives half a dims for the num ber. This is called newpager patronage. Another man takes two or three city pa pers and cannot affo:d to take a home pa per, but he likes it, and comes into the ol- fice and begs one when he is in town. This also, is called newspaper patroiiae, Another man takes a paper, he takes a copy for himself and family, and pays for it, and does all he can to get new subscri bers he never grumbles, but alwaja has a cheerful word for the editor. If any item of interest occurs in his neighborhood, Le informs the editor.- This is newspaper patronage. Another man has a patent, and wants you to give it a two dollar notice every week ; "it will be of interest to your readers," he says, but although knowing it will benefit him most of all, he does not offer to pay for it. This is called newspaper patron- S4. Another man has taken the paper for sev eral years but has not paid for it, and come3 in with a four or five dollar advertisement, and aeks you to insert it for oothing, be cause he is an old patron of yours. This is called newspaper patronage. Another man a young man about town no use of his taking a paper, he knows all that is going on. By-and-by, he gets married, and hands io a notice with "just hand me a dozen copies." He gets them, and when you mention pay he looks sur prised "you surely do not charge for such things?" And this is called newspaper patronage. Another man (bless you, it does us good to see such men) comes in and says, "the year for which I paid is about to expire, I want to pay for another." He does it and retires. This is newspaper patronage. Now, is'nt newspaper patronage a curi ous thing ? And in that great dy when the gentleman in blaok gets his due as he surely will how many of the patrons enu merated above will fall to his 6hare ? Now, it will be seen that while certain kinds of patronage is the very life and existence of a newspaper, there are other kinds of pa tronage that is more destructive than the deadly night-6hade. Reader ! where do you stand ? The agricultural statistics of Ireland show a decrease of 64,287 acres in the land under cultivation. There are 48,000 acres less in potatoes, 39,000 less of oats, and 38,000 less of wheat, while there has been an increase in grass of 56,000 seres. The emigration from Ireland in 1867 was 25 per cent, less than in 1866.

It is only one child from its head to iu hips, vigorous, healthy, symmetri cal, and at times exceedingly animated ; but from it3 hips down it is two diatinct persons, with every organ, ligamaut, bone and muscle well developed. It was born in the county of Lincoln, oa the 12th of May last. Its parents are sound, healthy people, the father, Wm. Corban, having served through the late war in the Confed erate army. .YMWA? Tn'on. Negro Supremacy. The negro is now supreme every where in the South. The race, by a system of treachery, has got possession of Washing ton city, the Capitol of the United States, and they will no doubt rule it as they please. The history of the late election for Mayor, according to an intelligent corres pondent, is this : The Radicals admit that the Democrats had a majority of the votes polled ; but there were forty soldiers stationed at Wash ington who voted the Democratic ticket. On these votes being thrown out, the Rad icals have the majority. Judge Carter, the corrupt Radical Judge of Washington City, decided that the soldiers had a legal right to vote, and to get clear of the difficulty he requested Gen. Grant to issue to-order that no 6oldier should leave his barracks on election day. Grant refused to do so be cause it will not be long before he will want the votes of the soldiers himself. The ne groes poured in from Virginia and Mary land to vote in the Mayor's election. They still failed to carry it until the votes of the soldiers were thiown out. So it has been settled in Washington City, which is im mediately under the government of Con gress, that any negro may vote, but no sol dier, no boy in blue, can. So we go. Hur rah for Africa ; down with America civil ized Africa, barbarous America ! I I An Unpremeditated Joke. ,yFpr sometime pasta number of boys have Cjo seen walking about the streets of the w-Jt each bearing upon his shoulder a rudely constructed transparency brilliant ly lighted up after dark on which ia bla zoned the name of one of the theaters, to gether with certain drsmatio iatellgence dis played in fancy paint for the enlightment of visitors from the rural dielricts who may chance to be strolling around in search of the elephant or any reliable information touching his haunts or whereabouts. Yes terday evening, jast after dark, the sexton oi one of the most fashionable charohes of the city was engaged in sweeping out the building, and the doors were left open. While this work was going on one of the boys in question came along, and, feeling fatigued from his tramp through the hot and dusty streets, seated himself upon the' steps of the church and was soon fast asleep, with his lighted transparency lean ing against the door post. And everybody who passed that way within the next hour or so vras assured by the transparency, in fiery letters that could be read at the dis tance of two hundred yards, that "This is the Osly Theater Now Open in thb Citt." Louisville Journal. Strange if True- As a man was walking in his garden he discovered two clothes horses. He look them in bit stable, where he soon broke them. He then put the yolk of an egg on their necks, attached them to a cart with the bonds of friendship, and covered them with sheet-lightning to protect them from (he flies. He then leaped into the cart, sal upon the eeat of government, took the whip of a top in one hand and the reigns of sev eral kings in the other, and drove off, pass ing through the gate of buffalo, over the ground coffee for three miles, but in cross ing the track of a snail, he w as run into by a train of thought, and dashed heels over head into a stream of eloquence, where his cart was broken to pieces against ihe rock of a cradle. By industry and frugality ho soon gained the shore, where he formed a boat of the bark of prairie wolf which he fit ted with a maatmade of north pole, nod two auction Bales. He then sailed down the river to its mouth, and Janded upon a tongue of land where he was eeized by a curious sensation and conveyed to a cell, where he was secured by chain lightning. fastened by a thunderbolt. The jailor gave him his liberty for a Christmas present, and read to him the report of a cannoa. He went home and gave his horse a basket of he-g-oats and abe-g-oata for dinner. Having thus taken care of bis horse, he retired into a chamber in his rifle, and soon fell asleep, but a mischievous fly kicked out one of his hairs, and killed Lim. Military Interference. Military interferance in the Southern States is to continue, notwithstanding the so-called reconstruction of those States. In bis letter of the 28th ult., the Washing ton correspondent of the Cincinnati Ga zette says : "The troops will not bs withdrawn from Arkansas, or any other restored State, at present. The troops will, as in Tennessee, aid tha civil authorities, but will not unless called upon by the Govenor. It is the hope of Gen. Grant that tha people themselves will take such a course as will justify very little interference by the military. No or ders have been issued to the commanders of other States, and none will be given till the Representatives are received in both Houses." Why are sunbeams in breezy weather like persons borrowing money? Because tbey are rays in the wind (raising the wirsi). What "Will the Democrats Do ? It has been asked, "What will the Dem ocracy do if we help to place them in pow er 1" The question is so well and appropri ately answered and so satisfactorily summ ed up by Gen. W. A. Gorman, of Minneso ta, in a late epeeoh, that we insert tha an swer here : "If the Democracy get power ia the gov ernment, they will reduce the tariff tax on all your tea, and what yotf drink and wear. They will restore the Uoion, and turn over all the Southern Stales' expenses tar be paid by tha South alone. Wo will turn out and abolish ten thous and abolition Freedman'a Bureau office holders and sate taiKione- of dollars to the people's pocket?. We will bid the Sotflh support them selves, and go to raising cotton and stigar, and we will continue to raise proddoe to feed them. We will pay the public debt in the same currency we pay you, and tha same jou pay each other, and thus sava millions nortt in the pockets of the people. If we pay the rich io gold, wff nil pay you io gold. . If w pay yoa io paper moic ey, we will pay plethorio bond-holders in paper money. We will enact laws to enable yoa to bay your goods where you can bay cheapest. and sell wbefe you can get the best price. We will proteet labor from the encroach ment of capital. We will leave each State to govern itself, i mi ted only by the Federal Constitution. We will reduce the array io the South and send them to the plains to protect the frontier and all of the new routes to the far West. We will restore commerce, peace and good will between the North and South. We will reduce taxes, boln State and na tional. We will lessen the number of oEoe hold ers, and release yoa from taxa-lioo to enp- port them. We will enact laws inside am! rret outside the Constitution. We will restore peace atboino and main tain your honor abroad. We will inaugurate a dy of moderation. order and good will, icstead of hate aud ill will, as new targht by Jacobin politicians. We will give equal rights to all ami wi. grant exclusive privileges to none. We will substitute calm statesmanship for mad Jacobinism. We will make pets no luagcr f negrues at the exponse of (he whites, nor foroe eaf- frage for them at the expense and agaioat the will of thoso who creifted and rrrrntiin- ed the Government. - "Straws Show the Course of the Wind." Daily in one of the broad avenues of a great city may be seen a lad riding a pony followed at a respeolful distance by a sol dier clad in uniform. The twain arrive at ft school building which the boy eoteis whwn the soldier takes the pony back to the sta ble. Where, it may be asked, can this Bpeclacle be witnessed ? Is it iu London, and ia the child of one of the royal family ; or is it Paris, and is the' young rrdef the heir to the throne of France ? No, for ssvo on occasions of ceremony, the membefe of the reigning Eur pean lamiliea are never surrounded by soldiers, aod only occasion ally by servants. The scene, howeter, to jvhich we refer may be witnessed any day io Washicgton, the governmental Center of this Republic, and the soldier ia one who enlisted to serve in its armies, but who is it at present engaged as groom to one of the sons, not of a Royal or Imperial House, bu of Hiram Ulyssec Simpson Grant, the rad ical nominee for the Presidency. Men who enlist in the armies of your country for its defence, we congratulate you that some day it may be your proud privilege to act as groom for one of the infants Grant, while those tax payers, who grumble at the cost of the army, we would urge reflection upon the honor accorded them of payiog for tha services of persons acting as meaials far the radical nominee. We have mentioned this faet io order that people may observe the tendency of Graat'a mind to the aristocratic forms of the Old World a tendency, however, mora decid edly perceptible in bis order about tba Jewa and bis censorship over tha Southern frees.
