IMPATIENT FOR AMNESTY.
The Rersld's special says there is much
unessiness and dissatisfaction among late

the President acts upon applications for
pardon. Many of them have already WIS.,
tied the capital to hurry up action upon
their applications, but they have met with
very little encouragement
POST ROUTES IN THE RKBELLIoUs STATES.
The work Of re-establishing post routes
in the late rebellious States necessarily
goes onsloRly. The most important routes
will be re-Opened before long, but it will
be months before there can be anything
like a complete postal system in such
States.

high authority for stating that the subject

occurred in the Cabinet snd elsewhere be-
tween officials, but all probabilities are
sgainst an immediate and speedy trial.
