There were the usual number soliciting
pardon, Ofice-seeking, &C., including many
ladies. Ninety four applications for pardon
o-day received from Mississippi, and fifty
from Richmond, the latter number being
Endorsed by the Provisional Governors of
these States.
Bishop Lynch, of South Carolina, who
applied yesterday, was to-day pardoned by
the President. Personal influence secured
this favor. Four ladies from New Orleans
were also pardoned, and their confscated
estates returned to them. Gen. Butler, ii
is said, recommended yesterday that the
latter step be taken.
John Minor Bolts arrived to-doy from
Richmond, and is asking an interview with
the President. 1t is surmised that the SUI
persedure, by military authority, of the
Richmond Mayor and tie city election is
the subject Of his mission.
A telegraphic order for Gen. Sheridan e
muster out all of the troops which he cal
dispense with caused considerable common
here to-day, owing TO the fact that the greater
portion of them are on the Rio Grande, II
