WASHINGTON, Sept. 10, 1896
Ts00Ps TO BIB ENTIRELY WITHDRAWN FROM THE
II r. understood here that II is contemplated by the
President TO entirely withdraw the troops from the South
In short Time leaving the States lately in rebellion to
reoganize the basis of civil government precisely as
they stood before the late war; with the exception OF
slavery This policy is said to have arisen through the
good Of the leading Southern men themselves in
accepting the present position Of affairs 90 disclosed III
tho interview between President Johnson and consider
able deputaon of men, at the White House,
the other day. Thus, the late slave States will have
hardly soldier left among them, such as may be

the applications pardon. Thousands thousands
are fled away In the Attorney Generals Office and other
thousands at the White House. Shelving being erected
the of the pardon clerk capable Of holding hun
dreds of thousands Of applications, and unless some
more expeditions method be devised for passing upon
them the shelf room will all be needed. II is esti-
mated that not loss than hundred thousand separate
amnesty oaths have already been received at the State
Department. Two clerks constantly engaged assort
ing and fling these but months would be necessary to
arrange those hand if more were received.
In the meantime the magnitude of the clerical work ne
essary pardon hundred thousand persons by the
present method is but imperecy understood by the
public at large It's present progress is transparent
farce Incompatible with the dignity OF the government
aud should therefore be abandoned.
