THE 4, INTELEIGENCER" ANATOSII
- CALLE CONSIDEEED.
(Froui yesterday's Washington Chronicle.)
"Yon have your hand on my purse, you
scoundrel," Says the gentlemen to his neigh
bor, in a erowd. " Bly dear Is the trem
bling reply, "pardon me ; I did it by mistake;
it was an error;' I thought you were another
man i" Who has not seen precisely such an in
cident as this in the daily papers, and laughed
heartily at the miserable excuse of the de
tected plc:lF:pocket'? While the virtuous Na
tional Intelligencer is amusing itself with the
character it has drawn for "Occasional," it does
not clear itself of the dark accusation of
having deliberately falsified the record in
order to do injustice to that writer. The
extraet, the text upon which its chief and
unprovoked charge against " Occasional"
was based, was coolly taken—we will not
say stolen—from another source (and gar
bled at that), and credited to "Occasional."
A very curious " error " for so honorable a
controversialist, To cut out the words of one
writer and to deliberately charge them to
another, and to make them the ground of
attack upon that other, is certainly no very
honorable expedient, and bears a suspi
cious resemblance to the frequent feat of
the chevalier Winclustrie above referred to.
Now this "error" happened on Friday, and
was doubtless pointed out to the perpetrator,
who refused to correct it on Saturday, and
only admitted it after it was exposed by 77te
Chronicle, and then in a manner that showed it
would never have been voluntarily corrected.
We are not complaining of this sleight-of-hand ;
only that where there is such effrontery there
should be some skill. It was a bold blunder at
the best, and so equivocally explained as to
show that the man who committed it regarded
it as "a fair business transaction ;" was, in
fact, proud of his achievement.
The Intelligences is driven to a strange sort
of self-defence when it says
Now, we suppose, of course, that the intelli
gent and high-toned Chronicle is not aware
that the intelligencer, under its present pro
prietorship, from the beginning until his
death, gave to the lamented Mr. Lincoln, and
to his policy a warm, and, what will suit the
Chronicle perhaps better, an almost " unhesi
tating" support.
Fromthis it would seem that the fideffigencer
has severed all connection with the traditions
of the old newspaper, and that "its present
proprietorship" " gave Mr. Lincoln's policy a
warm support," &c. We are also called upon
to regard it as among the "warm supporters"
of President Johnson's "policy." Welled never
heard either of "the present proprietors,"
whose names appear at the head of that
paper, classed among the " warm supporters"
of- Mr. Lincoln's policy, much less of the .
policy of the present Executive ; but we are
glad to be informed of it now. It will be
news to the country. We have yet toned . a
single decided friend of the test or present Ad
ministration who has not always regarded, and
does not now regard, the National Intelligencer as
an insidious and unfair opponent of the great
tTnion party, and of the great measures enun
ciated and Carried out by Abraham Lincoln
and Andrew Johnson. Its opposition to eman
cipation and confiscation under Lincoln may
not have been exhibited under "the present
proprietors ;" but what one of P resident John
son's bold demonstrations against treason have
ever they Sustained? When the disaffected
papers of the North bowled against the trial
of the assassins, by President Johnson's or
der, and when again by his order four of them
were executed amidst another outburst of
rage, did one syllable of protest against these
denunciations find its way into the
inletli
geneerf When the Suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus• was declared to be essential to
the safety of the capital and the lives of the
Executive and his Cabinet, the intelligeneer
Persisted in demanding its restoration. When
the patriots of the South called for the strong
hand of President Johnson to protect them
against the rebels, and when .ho gave his
protection to Erownlow in Tennessee, and
his approval to Palmer in Kentucky, as he had
previously done to Terry in Richmond, no
word of encouragement to the President was
proffered by the lntelligeneer. Even now, un
der its "present proprietorship," there is
hardly it disaffected journal in the North, the
editorials of which are not aired in the conve
nient columns of our conservative, and, as it
would seem, - our "Democratic" cotemporary.
It is, we repeat, a little strange that " these
warm supporters" of Lincoln and Johnson
should be classed by all the known friends of
both Administrations among their most dam
gerous and unfair opponents.
In the present attempt of the Inteiligeneer to
do injustice to his contemporaries, it has sim
ply been caught in a discreditable transaction
and exposed to a sharp humiliation, both of
which it mignt have been spared, had It not
gedie out of its way to provOke unnecessary
controversy. Like the bull that attempted to
run down the locomotive, it has not found the
experiment either a pleasant or a profitable
one.

The moral effect of the overthrow of the re

rica, and especially in Mexico, than invading
armies and navies. LOUIS - NAPOLEON'S con
tract did not include the defeat of the slave
conspiracy ; it took birth, shape, vitality, and
vigor from the hope of Its success. His legiens
in Mexico feel the failure, of his theory
terribly. No Frenchmen emigrate there;
the soldiers long to get back to Paris, and .
his German levies or contingents are run
ning over into the fat lands of Texas as fast
as their legs can carry them. The French
have all left the Rio Grande, lest a collision
should take place between them and Sunup.

The guns carried over by the retreating rebels
were never used by the French, but were
avoided as so much poison—and when they
were demanded as our property they were

back. The weak part Of the whole French

President Johnson's Policy.
Publications have recently been made of re
ports, speculations,and inferences about differ
ences of opinion between the President and
his Cabinet with regard to the policy proper
to be pursued in restoring the Southern States
to their former relations to the 'Union, and
particularly in solving the question of negro
suffrage in the work of re-establishing civil
government, the initiatory measures to se
cure which have already been taken through
the agency of the Provisional Governors.
The proceedings of the Cabinet are strictly
private, and it is not known that any of the
members are in the habit of improperly re
vealing them; and,.therefore,the publications
professing to give reports of what takes place
in the Cabinet council, are, to say the least,
unreliable.
But it may be said with confidence, as an an
swer to many of these speculations, that there
is not now, nor is it believed there will be, any
substantial difference 'between the President
and his Cabinet with regard to the restoration
of the Soutliern States, One of the reasons for
this assertion is the fact that all the proclama
tions appointing the Provisional Governors
are in precisely the same words; founded on
the Tennessee arrangement, and maturely
considered by the President mid approved by
the Cabinet, showing a carefully considered
plan t the amnesty proclamation being in ay
corg with that document.
The President, it IS known from the repre
sentations of his intimate friends, is deter
mined to pursue substantially the reconstruc
tion programme thus laid down, having rea
sonable evidence from the South that it will
be successful. Many of the accounts from that
section are exaggerated, and misrepresent
the true and favorable condition of public
opinion.
• The Trial of Jeff Davis.
As the result of careful inquiry, it is be
lieved there is an unwillingness on tile part
of aportion of the Cabinet to have JEFF DAVIS
tried for treason, while there is reason for as
serting that the President is persistent in
having it brought before a civil tribunal.
Chief Justice CHASE is expected to arrive
here in the course of a few days for consulta
tion, with the President as to the time, man
ner, and plan, which shall be designated. The
ablest counsel in the country are also being
consulted an the subject. There is a fixed de
termination by the Executive that there shall
be an immediate and fair trial by a Jury Of
the country for high treason. It may, in addi
tion to the abovejbe as confidently asserted
that the President has determined, as soon as
practicable, to withdraw the order suspend
ing the privileges of the writ of habeas cor
pus, and to dispense with military courts.
The Trial Of the Anderson - v - 111e Prison
Keeper.
The trial of Captain WERTZ was to have com
menced to-day, but has • been further post
poned until to-morrow.
This morning several Government witnesses
were in attendance, and there are others in
the city who can at any moment be sum.
ZnOned. The accused has for counsel, Judge
HUGHES, General 3. IL DENVER, and Messrs.
PECS and SCRAM.
WERTZ is a Swiss by birth, and when the
United States forces captured New Orleans
he deserted hlB plantation and negroes' iu
Louisiana, and with his wife and three chil
dren, went to Vicksburg.
In 1863, the rebel Government sent him to•
Europe as a military commissioner, and after
remaining there eight months, he came back
to Richmond, by running the Wilmington
blockade, and was appointed an Assistant Ad
jutant General, with the rank of Captain, and.
assigned to the command of the Audersonville
prison.
The Detection of Counterfeiters. ,
The Solicitor of, the Treasury has issued a
Circular in relation to counterfeiting, stating
that Congress has appropriated a considerable
sum of money for the purpose of meeting any
expenses in detecting and bringing to trial
and punishment persons engaged in counter
feiting Treasury notes, bonds, or other securi
ties of the United States, as well as the coin of
the United States.
It being expected that further appropria
tions of a like nature will be hereafter made,
the Secretary of the Treasury has directed
that the administration of the fund thus cre
ated, and the prosecution of the measures
contemplated by Congress, shall be committed
to the SolieitOr's Mee, and that there be or
ganized therein a division, under the direc
tion of a competent head, to have immediate
charge of the measures in question, which has
accordingly been done. Col. Wm. P. Wood has
charge of the division, under the supervision
of the Solicitor, WhO WS: "The mode of opc
ration adopted by the office is two-fold, First,
by the offer of rewards for services or informa
tion tending to the suppression of counter
feiting; and secondly, by direct efforts to col
lect information and make seiz ores and arrests
through the instrumentality of persons acting
under the direction of the Chief of the Divi
sion.Ml
In order to receive the rewards it is not es
sential that parties asking them shall act to
any extent under the direction of this office.
They may may proceed with their operations
on their own account and in their own way
until they shall reach their consummation,
when they may present the results to the office
and claim proper rewards, which will be given
with fairness, and on the most liberal scale.
But it must be borne in mind that in such
eases the parties can only look for reward fOr
what they actually accomplish, as the office
will not undertake to remunerate them for
loss of time, or to reimburse any expenses
which they may have incurred in unsuccess
ful efforts. Neither is it necessary that such
parties shall perform any acts whatever, be-
Tend the mere communication of in
formation which shall be found to be
of value, and no person possessing such
information need apprehend that his just
claims will Usk, overlooked or - disregarded,
since books will be kept in the office in whiCh
will be entered every item of information re
ceived, together with the name of the party
by wheal it is sent; and before any reward is
awarded a Careful examination will ha made
of the whole ease, in order that each person
who has contributed to the general result
shall receive his proper share of the reward.
The Solicitor has also issued a circular to dis
trict attorneys, marshals, and clerks of courts
of the United States, specifying the particular
services which he requests of them, and the
kind of information to be furnished.
Returns of Internal Revenue.
Nearly four hundred millions of dollars have

since its organization, and so far it has not

HEART'S CONTENT, August 14, via ASPY BAY,
August 15.—The schooner First Fruit, from
Cardiff, arrived in Harbor Grace, N. F., this
morning. She makes the following report
On the 6th of August, at four o'clock in the
morning, saw the steamship Great Eastern and
the British war steamer Terrible. At' six
o'clock in the morning saw a beacon buoy
marked " Great Eastern, No. 5."
The Great Eastern and the Terrible were
then about five miles southeast from Beacon
buoy. The weather was quite foggy at this
time. The First Fruit then laid her topsails
to the mast and hoisted her ensign. At noon
the Terrible came near the First Fruit and re
ceived information from her of the bearings of
the Beacon buoy.
The Terrible reported that the cable was
parted on the 241. of August. The position Of
the Beacon buoy, by the account of the First
Fruit was hi latitude 5140 North, longitude 38
West.
The weather here this morning is quite mild,
but a thick fog prevails.
The Herald's special despatch from Heart's
Content, dated August 14th, says : " The Cap
tain of the Terrible informed the Captain of
the schooner First Fruit that the cable parted
on the 2d, and the buoy was the mark where the
cable was last seen. The Captain of the

of the buoy, having had no observation for
several days. We do not give up"the expedk
tion as a failure, as when last seen the steamers
were endeavoring to discover the location of
the buoy, showing they have not abandoned
all hope of eventually laying the cable. Mri
_Mackey, superintendent of the Newfoundland
line, is yet hopeful that the Great Eastern will
arrive in a few days with the cable all right.
I cannot deschbe the deep feeling of disap

here.
The general feeling is that the Atlantic

At the time the cable broke, the ship was
about six hundred miles distant from the

PORTLAND, August 15.—The Democratic State
Convention met at half past ten o'clock this
morning. Paul S. Morrilly, Chairman of the
Democratic state Committee, called upon Mr.
Z. Pilisbury, of Farmington, to act as tempo
rary chairman.
Dlr. Pillsbury addressed the meeting, and
congratulated them (the delegates) upon the
restoration of peace. He said if the principles
of the Democratic party had prevailed there
would have been no war. But, notwithstand
ing the great bloodshed, peace was again re
stored, and a greet responsibility now rcStS
upon the Democracy.
An attempt was being made to destroy State
sovereignty, which the Democracy must frus
trate. The policy of the Republican party
can only be forced upon the South at the
poluttkof the bayonet; and but for, one man
that policy would have been adopted at alt
hazards, and that is the present President of
the United States. [Great applause.] For this
we owe him a debt of gratitude. The Demo

Union, seeks ascendancy, not for power, but
for the good and welfare of the whole country.

A FAILURE AND DEFALCATION
IN NEW YORK.
One of the Firm of Morris Ketchum & Co.
Implicated.
Enormous Forgeries Perpetrated, and Immense
Amounts of Money Abstracted.
A BARRING-HOUSE THE LOSER OF OVER
TWO 'MILLION DOLLARS,
Thc New York journals of last evening con
tain the following startling news. The Express
says:
" The excitement in Wall street was intense,
and the astounding disclosures in regard to
the gold cheek. forgeries completely eclipse
the operations of Jenkins and Earle, the
wildest rumors were afloat on the street early
in the day, but the whole thing began to as
sume some definite shape at the first session
of the Stock Exchange. Mr. Cutting announced
the failure of Charles Graham & Co., and stated
that they desired all their contracts closed out
and statements sent in to them. Mr. Graham
then stated that he had been absent from the
city for some time, in consequence of ill-health,
and. events had transpired about which he
could give no explanation at present. It ap
pears that Mr. Edward Ketchum, of the firrnof
Ketchum Son, & Co., had Mr. G.'s confidence,
nd partially his large operations in stocks
ni Id gold during his absence from the city.
c. Ketchum paid sl,ooo' to the Bank of Kew
y Q r h and
n to u o rn k be o r n e t a a fro g m old check-book, with
checksthe
58,501 to 59,000. The
f or a ed gold-checks were taken from thia - bbbk,
an d' the names of Hallgarten and Herzfeld,
a tn e, kelman, Unger & Co., awl Lockwood" & Co.
were ,forged, and the bank certification also.
These , checks were used as collaterals; and,
so far as known, have not circulated. - • 11r.
Ch ar les Graham denies all knowledge of the
exi s t ent , e of the book in his house; and the
only conclusion that the public has come to is,
that mr. k ldward Ketchum has committed for
gery. He is not down to-day, and it is an
nounced tl , at Ketchum, Son,- Co., for whom
Mr. Graham did considerable business, were
not honorintt their drafts, and turning over
their remittances to the Fourth JJational
Bank."'
The Post says
"The raereamtile circles were thunderstruck
this morning by the rumor that the eminent
and respectable' house of Morris Ketchura , ./
Co. bad suspended payment.
" The earliest reports ran to the effect that
it had been concerned in stock SpeCillatiOne
beyond its ability to carry the balance against
it, and that it had been compelled to stop.
These rumors soon, however, took another
shape, and it was said that one of the mem
bers of the firm, Mr. Edward Ketchum, a son of
the senior partner, had abstracted bonds and
other securities from the vaults of the bank
ing -house to the amount of two millions of
dollarS,Wl I
iCh the firm were unable to make
good. Another - version of.the story was that
he had forged gold certificates, to the incredi
ble sum of. two millions and a half of dollars,
which had been passed into the coffers of. the
banks, which will be the principal sufferers..
On inquiry at the proper place, we learn
that there is more or less truth in all these re
ports. Mr. Edward Ketchum is a defaulter to
a prodigious amount—not less than two Mil
lions of sliars, whieli he is said to have pro
cured partly by abstracting securities from
the house with which he was connected, and
partly by fraudulent gold certificates. He has
been for some time entrusted with the man
agement of the affairs of the concern, his
father, who 14441 . managed them so prudently
and Successfully, being absent from town, and
lie has been enticed into speculations that
have resulted his-disgrace and ruin.
"No house in. the city was supposed to be
wealthier, or possessed a larger share of the
confidence of the community than that of
Ketchum & Co:, which has been thus pros
trated by the criminal folly and iniquity of
one of its members. The guilty person, WIMP
character and conduct had won him a most
prominent position in the commercial world,
and whose operations-bad been carried on so
adroitly and mysteriously that his own part
ners did not yesterday suspect their losses,
has disappeared from- the city. He left his
home last evening; and has not since been
traced."
The haulm - IAI editbrof the Post says:
The gold check forgery, the discovery of
which we announced yesterday, has assumed
larger proportions thanhave as yet been dis
closed. It is believed to• have been going on
for several months past. The counterfeit
checks, however have none of them been
offered at the Bank of New York for payment,
and the signatures are such imperfect imita
tions that they deceive no one aeoustomed to
the scrutiny of paper, though they might,
perhaps, fail to be detected by a gold clerk.
For such gentlemen, though extremely skilful
in detecting base coin, are less practiced re
specting counterfeit signatures:lt is also remarked thatnone of these checks
have ever been offered for sale, but only as
collaterals. And on the deposit the special
agreement was made that m each case the
gold cheek was not to be sold. An extra
" shave > 1 was of course submitted to in conse
quence of this condition.
The check-book from which Mr. Edward B.
Ketchum obtained the blanks for these forged
gold checks has not been recovered. It was
obtained by jam in. June lastaprofessedly for
Mr. Charles Graham, who denies that he
ordered it or has any knowledge of it. lie
claims to have been the innocent tool of
Mr. Ketchuni. The checks in this book are
numbered 58,501 to 59,000; and as three hun
dred and eighty-live of ,them are believed
to have been used, it was supposed that
the amount 011 t would be $1,900,000. Some
of the checks, however, are for email sums ;
and we have heard of several as small as live
hundred dollars. A number of the checks
have also been withdrawn and cancelled.
The names which have been forged are
among the most respectable in the street, in
eluding Lockwood & Co. Vermilye & Co.,
Lipstein & Rosenfeld • and'theyWerehypOtile
cated in the name of Charles Graham & Co.,
42 Exchange Place.
Of the seven-thirty coupons, today, the Frist
National Bank paid *139,000, and the National
Currency Bank $115,000. The pressure and
crowding attendant on the payments at the
sub-treasury are much relieved by the pay
ments at the national banks, Where there is
less delay.
C=!
The Post, in a later edition, contains the fol
lowing additional particulars, It says:
Many excited and false rumors are afloat
with respect to the forgery of gold certificates
issued by Edward B, Ketelmin to the amount
of two and a half millions of dollars. The
truth, as nearly as we can ascertain it, is
about as follows
The gold brokers some time ago adopted the
Bank of New York as their depository, receiv
ing from it certificates, which were registered
and signed in due form: by two of the officers.
These eertifidates °initiate from hand to hand
like a bank bill in the channels where they are
used, and may remain out an indefinite time.
They are all of the denomination of live thou
sand dollars. It was discovered yesterday
that a number of forged certificates were in
use as collateral to leans obtained, and eir
cumstaneeB Made it manifest that Mr. Edward
B. Ketchum, of the house of Ketehutu, son,
Co.,bfid issued them from a book of blanks
similar to the genuine forms. Five hundred
of the blanks are missing, and it is presumed,
though not positively known, that each one
was filled up for five thousand dollars. If so,
the total forgery of certificates amounts to
two and a half millions.
The forgeries began to be presented to
Graham, the broker of Edward Ketchum yes
terday, and with the hope of getting rid of
them, he paid, as we learn, about two hundred
and eighty thousand dollars of them, at which
point he stopped; finding the amount greater
than he anticipated. There the case rests.
Mr. Ketchum is not to be found. The house of
Ketchum, Son, CO., is not otherwise involved
than by his being one of the partnore• We
learn that it has suspended, which it would tic)
of course, until the exact truth is ascertained.
None of the forged certificates have been
paid by the Bank of New York, and we have
not been able to learn of a single bank that
holds any as collateral security for loans. If
the banks do hold any they have margins, and
the responsibility of the borrowers, to fell
back upon. It is not at all likely that thUy
will suffer so as to interrupt their regular bu
siness. The shock is distributed mostlyamong
private bankers and speculators in that par
ticular business of gold dealing. There is no
ground, therefore,for apprehending any gene
ral disturbance of the markets outside of Wall
street.
The forgery is very clumsily Medea, and
would have been discovered instantly if any
of the certificates had got into circulation.
But they were adroitly used as collateral se
curity only, and hence escaped detection.
Mr. Morris Ketchum, pending the investiga
tion into the affairs of the firm, has ordered
all drafts arriving by man from depositors in
the country to be placed in bank to the credit
of the senders.
NEW Yong, August 15,—Edward Ketchum,
who has absconded, is twenty-five years of
age, and has been marriedtwo Years and has
one child. Before departing, he left a letter
for his father, in which he admitted his crime,
and asked his father to provide for his wife
and child, saying he had provided for himself.
it is reported that he abstracted bonds from
the safe of the firm, but to what extent is not
now known. The Fourth National Bank, it is
stated, is involved by this transaction to the
amount of 055,000, having negotiated some of
the forged certificates. The last seen Of
Ketchum was in a trunk store in Broadway,
where he had some fifteen packages of money,
thought from a glance to be $60,000, and where
he bought a travelling-bag. A card from the
President of the Fourth National Bank says
it is perfectly sound, and the earnings for the
past six months largely exceed the amount of
forged eertifieVes held.

said evil design, confine a large number of
such prisoners of war, belonging to the United
States, to the amount of thirty thousand
men, in unhealthy and Unwholesome quar
ters, in a close and small area of ground,
wholly inadequate to their Wants, and de
structive of their health, Winch he well knew
and intended, and while there confined du
ring the time aforesaid, did, in furtherance
of his evil design, wilfully and maliciously
neglect to furnish tents, barracks, or other
shelter sufficient for their protection from the
inclemency of winter, and the dews and burn
ing sun of summer, and with such evil intent
did take and cause to be taken from them

subsist upon unwholesome food, and that in
limited quantities entirely , inadequate to sus
tain health, which is well known ; and did

bodily health, their minds impaired, and their
intellects broken; and many of them whose
names are unknown sickened and died by
reason thereof, which the said - Henry Wertz
then and there well knew and intended, and
so knowing and evilly intending, did refuse
and neglect to provide proper lodgings, food,
or nutriment for sick, and necessary medicine

beasts to seize, tear, mangle, and maim the
bodies and limbs of fugitives which they there
and then did, wherebv large numbers of prison

make their escape and were recaptured, were
cruelly and inhumanly, injured, and great
Milphers died by reason of such inhuman
treatment, which !said Henry Wertz then and
there well knew and evilly intended.
About Pardons.
A very strange doubt or misconception ex
ists in regard to the effect of the President's
pardon upon the property rights of the party
gardened, The language of the proclamation
seems to be as explicit de possible on this
Point. It is as follows:
To the end, therefore, that the authority of
the Government of the United States may be
restored, and that peace, order, and freedom
may be established I, Andrew Johnson, Presi
dent of the United States, do proclaim and de
clare that I hereby grant to all persons who
have, directly or indirectly, Partielpated
the existing rebellion, except as hereinafter
excepted, amnesty and pardon, with restoration
of all rights of properly, except as to slaves, and
except i n eases where legal proceedings, un
der the laws of the United States providing
for confiscation of property of persons engaged
in rebellion, have been instituted; but upon
the condition, nevertbeleßS, that eYery such
person shall take and subscribe tile following
This is the general pardon, which tens of
thousands have taken. The following is the
tenor of the special pardons, granted in con
formity with the same proclamation, under
the list of exceptions, viz:
That I, Andrew Johnson, President of the
United States of America, in consideration of
the premises, divers other . good and sufficient
reasons me thereunto moving, do hereby grant
to the said - - a full - pardon and am
nesty for all offences by him committed, arising
from participation, direct or implied, in the
said rebellion, conditioned as follows, viz:
this pardon to begin and take effect from the
day on which the said -- shall take
the oath prescribed in the proclamation of the
President, dated May 29,1885, and to be void
and of no effect if the said --shall
hereafter, at any time, acquire any property
whatever in slaves, or make use of slave labor;
and that he ,first: pay all costa which may have ao
&Plied int my proceeding' hitherto itiso4ted against
his person or properly.
pardons,The special and general, are
granted in conformity with a clause of the
confiseattion act itself, approved July 17th,
1862, and entitled "an act to suppress insur
rection, to punish treason and rebellion, to
seize and confiscate the property of rebels,
and for other purposes." Tile clause is as
follows:
- -
SUCTION' 13. And be it further enacted, That the
President is hereby authorized, at any time
hereafter, by proclamation, to extend to per
sons who may have participated in the exist
ing rebellion in any State or part thereof,
Pardon and =Mean with such exceptions,
and at such time, and on such conditiOnS as he
may deem expedient fOr the public welfare.
It thus appears that the President has the
authority of Congress for granting amnesty
and pardon for all offences against the United
States committed during the late rebellion,
and that he has exercised the power thus con
ferred by restoring all property rights to the
parties, even where legal proceedings had
been instituted, but not consummated. If the
proceedings are begun under this act of colitis
cation, in any court of the United States, the
pardon has the effect of quashing thereon pay
ment of costs by the party pardoned. •
We have been induced to make this state
ment in consequence of doubts and misappre,
hensions in regard to the effect of a pardon
which tend to throw suspicion npbll the Set
veney of Southern men, and to prevent the re•
vivai of business and industry. The whole
country is interested in the speedy restora
tion of peace, order, and confidence in the
South, without which there can be no healthy
trade and intercourse between the sections.—
