A General Pardon.

The Presidents time is principally absorbed
in receiving calls from persons seeking pardon.
They are mostly of the class of persons who
have property worth over 10000, or officers
of high grade who had been educated at West
Point and gave up their commissions to join
the Rebel service. The cases under the latter
head are kept in the pigeon holes of the Attor-
ney Generals Office, and win probably be the
last to be taken up. These are considered the
ey-arAs4 4fFaaIA-s. e 49, tisat
the greater the sinner the more the necessity for
amnesty. 31,Fle gu at'3l
We are confirmed in the opinion, that, after
the action of the Southern States Conventions
and the Northern States Elections, President
johnson viii deem it expedient to clear the
docket of the names Of all but the most conspic-
uous Of the leaders. ~ gmol ss-s
The position which he has taken in regard
to con6scation, that no forfeiture can accrue
until cfler trial and conviction, will relieve
thousands No further proceedings will be
had, and therefore no further action need be
taken except in cases where the agents of the
Freedmen's Bureau have possession of property
heretofore considereda as abandoned. Even this
will be given up upon proper representation Of
the facts, for much of it belongs to persons who
were but passive instruments in the hands Of
the prevailing military power. ~ Us hai
Those who own less than $4,000, and who
have taken the general amnesty oath, need give
themselves no further trouble, as the U. S. At
tOrney for Eastern Virginia has given notice in
public speech that orders have been received
by him to suspend all confscation. 1.ac
