THE EVENING STAR, Prepricter. SS W. D. WALLACH, Edito: WASHINGTON CITE: _ JUNE 24, 1565. Wa READING MATTERON EVERY PAGS. SER OUTSIPR FOR INTERESTING TBLE- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. s ATION, Itis asciseeaty te. pes that the President Willact speedily and fayorably on the appli- @ation of the twenty-five merchants of Rich- mond for pardon, who apply through the Hon- Martin F. Conway. We understand that there can beno doubtof the entire loyalty of the purpose of these gentlemen im resuming th«ir allegiance to the United States Government, The exceptions in President Johnson’s am- mesty proclamation were evidently designed but to secure thorough loyalty in the restored Southern States governments: not fd get ven- geance out of any man or class of men. The genera! public interest requires imperatively that the iate secession leaders, confederate: state and county, shail be debarred from op- portunities to re-establish their ascendency | ver the southern popular mind. The excep- tions above referred ‘o are simply to secure that desirable state of things past per advyen- ture. There can be no doubt that they wily prove amply sufficient for the purpose. Nor can there beany doubt that in the end the number of persons in the South who must be permanently distranchired, if not banished, ‘Will be found much less than was anticipateda few weeks since. We must hereafter live with the people of the South as equals under the government of the United States. Otherwise, the whole theory, principle and Practice of our political system must be changed and the Republic come to an end, North and South. Our Guverument, as it was in spirit before the rebellion, cannot be main- tained st the North, unless it is also main- tained at the South. That is: we cannot have a free republican government in one section nd a military despotism in the other section, for apy considerable length of time. Any statesnien whe essay such an experiment wil] be voted out o* office on the first occasion in which the people can get at them through the | ballot-box. Notwithstanding the herculean efforts of the extreme politicians to organize popular sentiment against the views of Presi- dent Johnson upon this enbdject, as developed in his appointment of provisional governors and in his State papers on the question of State reorganization, they are making no headway whatever: as, upon no other ques- tion does there exist so great unanimity of American publie opinion just now, as in favor of permitting the loyal voters of the States lately in rebellion to manage their own affairs as completely a; such affairs are man- aged by the people of the severa! States north ef the Potomac, provided they are managed upon the terms of republicanism and loyalty Tequired by the Uonstitution of the United States. In their unsettled state it is the duty ef the President to see that these terms are respected to the letter, and he is firmly and | successfully discharging that simple duty: While with equal firmness he ia discharging the equally imperative duty of securing to al! truly loyal citizens of the South the complete restoration of ail their rights as citizens of the United States, now almost as clearly threat ened by public meetirgs in Boston ana csse! where, &s of late by the oligarchy, which has been so happlily overthrown by force of arms APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON. There were but nine applications for pardon under the President's late proclamation filed yesterday, among whom was the rebel General Du Bose, of Georgia. The President has granted the application of | Gen. Wil'iam Wickham, of Virginia, onthe | recommendation of John Minor Botts, and the application of Joshra Hill, of Georgia, for- merly s member of the U.S. Honse of Repre- sentatives.

At noon to-day the sale of steamers at the Navy Yard attracted quite a large crowd of merchants and steamboat men, among them representatives from nearly every principa) seaboard city in the Union. The sale was by Messrs. W.L. Wali & Co., auctioneers, and the bidding was very spirited, the sale occu- pying but little over one hoar. ‘The yessels were offered in the following order:—Baltimore, (steamboat,) formerly of the Aquia Creexk line, and used since tne war as an ordnance boat, sold for #16,000 to Mr. Thos.

The Juniper, (propeller,) Putnam, Cactus, J.N. Seymour and Cur de Lion, sidewheel propellers, were in the list to be sold, and there were parties in the crowd who had fixed the prices they intended to bid; but this morning ap order was received from the Department to transter them to the Light-House Board, and consequently they were withdrawn.
