WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Persons who are same
what intimate with the Secretary Of the Treasury,
assert that he has made up his mild respecting
the policy for the future which he will urge upon
Congress for adoption. In word, it is policy
which tho Evening Post has steadila advocated
Of contraction. Assurances ha 80 been sent
abroad to the financial centres of Europe, that
such Will unQuestonably be the financial policy of
the Government. The President is known to ia

THE PRESIDENT.
The President expects to make O pleasure trip
South next week. 1t is really pleasure excur-
sion, and has no reference to Reconstruction.
He has been overworked of late, and must have a
little recreation before the excitements of lon
session Of Congress are upon him.
PARDoNs.
e -by,a
lie as to the number of pardons thus far granted
by the President, some estimates placing it as
high as twenty-five thousand. We ascertain, on
official authority, that the number up to and in
Guiding the warrants signed this day is but two
thousand six hundred and fifty-eight. More than |
threc-ifths Of these have been granted within the
past ten days. and the business now averages from
fifty to one hundred and fifty per day. But as yet
the number issued does exceed one-sixth of the
pnrdons issued. Among those lately pardoned is
L. Pope Walker, the first rebel Secretary of War
tho man who gave the order to open fire upon Fort
for month, and forced himself before the Pres- |
dent in advocacy of his claims until he finally
succeeded It is proper to state that the Cabinet
have declined to recommend the pardon of any of |
the excepted classes, save those coming under tho
thirteenth exception, known as the twenty thou |
sand dollar class The Attorney General makes |
no Endorsement upon the applications Of the other
twelve classes, and they are filed away separately
for future consideration. When person included /
in any of these classes is pardoned, it is done by
tho PRESIDENT upon his own responsibility and in |
the exercise Of That Executive cemency for which
he is not Obliged to give reason. Thus with Mr..
l.. P. Walker.
THE VETERAN RESERVES.
Inc Secretary OF Wa- has before him q commu-
nication, signed by the prominent Senators and
representatives i'll Congress from all tho States,
earnestly protesting against tho mastering out Of
the twenty: four regiments of Veteran Reserves
now in service They ask that, il it is intended to
reduce the troops to the necessities Of a peace es-
tablishment, the volunteer forces now scattered
the country and anxious to: be
out, be dispensed with first, thus
lcaying III the service only the regular army
and the Veteran Reserves, which, Combined.
amount to fifty-seven regiments. Most Of
these regiments need recruiting. They also ask
that permission be granted to tho Veteran Re
Fcrves to recruit their regiments up to the full
number. 1t is urged as one of tho reasons for re-
tanning these troops, that most of them have re- |
ccived, during the late war, such bodily injuries
unfit them for the ordinary business ayocatons:
and as tho, promptly and patrotcally volunteered |
to put down the rebellion ut it's commencement !
they should be retained in the service and espc,
rially as it is now known that regular force will
be required equal to that Of the regular army and

ton holds the matter under advisemcnt and for |
consultation with Gen. Grant, OH his return to this
