purporting to be signed by President

from the President, his military su-
perior. When in the course OF day

we're imposed upon by the real Grim
lnal and that the circulation given 70
the proclamation through their COL
umns was not from any treasonabls

was promptly withdrawn. After q

Seymour ordered the prosecuting Off
