I" Docs the Presidents pardon remit the sen.
tence Of forfeiture of rebel property, and re-
instate the rebel In all his rights thereto."
This was motion of Leroy Wiley, defendant
in error and appellee, to dismiss the writ ot
error and appeal of the United States, on the
ground that the Presidents pardon and the
acceptance and compliance with the terIps
thereof by the defendant, discharged and re-
mitted the forfeiture for which sentence Of cOh.
demnation was pronounced in the District
Court, by pardOning the acts by which
alone, if ut all, that forfeiture was in
Cured. The cause originated in an infor-
nation filed in the District Court Of the
United States for the Southern District there
of, and one Charles Gould, named as the in
former, under the acts of Congress of 1881
and 1862, commonly known as the conAscation
acts for the conffscation and forfeiture of
seventeen hundred and fifty six shares of the
capital stock Of the Great Western Railroad
Company, of 1882 and of upwards of fifty
thousand dollars due on coupons Of bonds of
the same corporation, as the property of the
defendant, on the two fold ground alleged in
the information-first, of alleged use of pro-
perty by Mr. Wiley in aid Of the rebellion, un-
der the act of 1851, and second, of alleged trea-
sonable acts of Mr.. Wiley, under the act of
1862. The motion to dismiss this cause wus
announced by Mr.. Laroque in its support.
1t is understood that the tutionality of
the act of Congress prescribing the test oath is
now before the Supreme Court, ON the applica-
ton of A. II. Garland, of Arkansas. The
whole question will be presented on Friday
next.

Tennessee and Her Governor.

The rcmar arkablc editor Of the New York Tri-
tnae astonishcs people sometimes by his out
spoken candor about men and measures. The
telegraph on Saturday quoted the substan
of one of these outbursts, viz a dpnunciation
of Tennessee and her Governor. We suspect
that the assailed party will have rs few de-
tenders rs ever appeared for any man or cause
in this world. We give Mr.. Grecley's pithy ar
ticle entire:

what we had been led to expect. Those East
Tennessee Unionists have been permitted, by a
weak and wort thless Union general command
ing, and a reverend blackguartl, who is styled
Governor, to murder two or three negroes to
balance each of the parOled and returned rebel
soldiers whom they have seen fit likewise to
dispat ch. until they have good reason to de-
precate the admission of negro testimony for

According TO our infOrma ttOn, not less than a
hundred rebels and negroes have thus been
b,itchered since June last in and around Knox
Vile alone: and there will, of course, be more
if the strong hand of authority be not stretched
over them.
Tennessee has many staunch Unionists and
worthy men among her citizens; but she is
nevertheless 4 PandemOnium of passion and
crime, and 10 more f1t for self government to-
day than DahOmey. She needs the strong arm
of military power stretched over her for
months yet and she needs that this rule
should guarantee the freedom and legal equal
ity of all her people as the solid basis of true
reconstruction.

issued an address to the people of Texas, in
forming them rs to what will be required to
get the State back into the Union-that the
State Convention must declare slovery abo-

punishment for crime and recognizes the
rights of the negro as freemep, aot imp ing
thereby. however, his social eqr ality with the

The Legislature, he adds, must ratify the

Confederate Constitution, and the depcnden,
acts for resistance, null and void, and also the
State war debt.
The Judge cautioned the people who they
elect to carry these measures irto effect. Grea
importance will be attached to their choice, a.
an evidence of their sincerity. General con.
stitutional reforms, outside Of the above mea
