Gen. Lees Application for Pardon
Its Effect.

The application of General Lee to the
President for pardon, and restoration t"
his civil rights. meets with very general
approval at the South, and most bcncti-
cial results are entertained from the cN-
ample the late commander of the South
ern armies sets before his people. The
Richmond Times has an article on the
subject. so we'll worth reading that we
quote it entire;
"The Northern papers state that Gen.
Robert f. Lee has applied to the EXecu,
tive at Washington for the exercise OF
clemency. We hail this step as eminent
" wise, and iudicious and patriotic. An
example so illuStriouS and so worthy ot
imitation must be attended with the
manifest results. 1t removes many diff
cuities from the path of those who have
hesitated and questioned the proprlety OF
pursuinC a similar course. II this noble
and famous Bayard of the South, with

macy of the Government, seeks 10 be re-
habilitated as citizen, and tenders MS

as to his oTG duty!
General Lees application we regard
as a cheerful, voluntary and most timely
recognition upon the part of this great
Christian warrior of the duty of each
and every citizen of the South TO con-
tribute bis influence to the work of ma
tional pacifcation. Having for many
weeks. by his personal counsel and ad-
vice. aided in the work of restoring peace
and tranquility, he now throws the
weight and example of his great name
and irreproachable character into the
scale. Protected by his parole as well as
by the plain and explicit terms of the
articles of capitulation, he might with
perfect safety have refrained from asking
the exercise of Executive clemency IN
his own behalf.
