The $4,000 Clause.

A delegation representing the twenty
thousand dollar citizens of Richmond Is
i'm Washington for the purpose OF sug-
gesting to the President some modlhca-
ton of the Amnesty Proclamation, espe-
cially as to the property exception. The
President being i'll, these delegates did
not succeed in getting an interview with
him on Monday, but they were sent 10,
and were some hours in consultation with
the Attorney General
We learn from good authority that
there will be soon issued by the Presl-
dent new proclamation modifying that
of the 29th of May In this proclama
tion it will be provided that in Virginia,
especially and probably i'll all the States
South, the so, 900 exception will be abol-
ished in cases where proceedings against
the property of individuals have been III
stituted, OF where lands have been or are
now occupied by the Federal authorities,
under the act concerning abandoned
lands. 1t is found that notwithstanding
the several good reasons which moved
the President to the adoption of the
twenty thousand dollar exception, there
are as many equally potent why that
clause in the proclamation -hould be ahol-
ished. One, especially convincing, is
found in the fact that 1t paralyZes the
property men in the matter of CONNER
cial credit. They can neither sell their
property nor borrow money upon it until
pardon has been granted The neces-
sarp delay in examining and passing
upon the applications of nearly quarter
of q million of petitioners eifectnally
precludes any Immediate relief to these
suffering men. who almost universally
are out of money, and though property
holders. are absolutely in want of the
necessaries of life
As an illustration, not exaggerated, of
the helplcssness of the Southern proper
ty men, we may mention the case OF one
whose income before the war was over
eighty thousand dollars per month, and
who for the past three months has been
living solely upon the proceeds of the
sale of his family carriage, the latter
fund being now about exhausted.

Seuator Foote OH the Treatment of
Prisoners In Richmond.

New YORK, July s.-H. ). Foote, late
of the rebel Congress, now in Montreal,
publishes card in the Herald concern
ing the barbarous treatment OF Union
prisoners, in which he says, touching on
the Congressional report referred TO: L
have this to say. month or two ulterior
10 the date of the said report, learned
from Government officer of respectable
ity that prisoners of war then confined In
and about Richmond were suffering Sc
verely for want of provisions. He told
me further that systematic scheme was
on foot for subiecting these unfortunate
men to starvation, that the Commissary
General NOrthup, most wicked ana
heartless wretch, had addressed com
munication to Mr. Seldom, the Secretary
of War, proposing to withhold meat al
together from military prisoners then in
custody, and to give them nothing but
bread and vegetables, and that MIR Sed-
lion had endorsed the document. he
then moved for q committee of luvestl-
cation in the rebel House of Representa-
tiyes, but this was at first refused and he
was acrimoniously sentenced by several
members for introducing the subject into
the House at all He persevered, howev-
er, and obtained the committee and sue
eeeded in finding the document above
referred to, signed by Northop and en-
dOrsed by Seddon, the latter adding that
the time had come for retaliation upon
the prisoners of war of the enemy

The Defense of Mrs. surrait.

During the late conspiracy trial, the
counsel for Mrs Surratt wrote to the
Secretary of War through judge Advo-
cate General Holt, requesting the privi-
lege of making John II. Snrratta witness
for the prosecution, and pledging them
selves to bring Surratt here from Canada
in good season, asking in return that
Surratt should be made witness in IA
vor of his mother and also that an infor-
NAL pledge should be given that Surratt
would be pardoncd. The Secretary Of
War refused to entertain the proposition.
OH the ground that Surratt was so deep
lv implicated in the conspiracy, accord.
inc TO the theory of the government,
that he could not under any circum-
stances, receive pardon. 1t is believed
by Mrs. Surratt's counsel that his testi-
mony would have entirely exculpated bis
mother, and this opinion is strengthened
by statement of Payne to the effect
that one evening, on the occasion of his
last visit at Mrs. Surratt's, he made re-
mark TO Surratt in the parlorfrom which
the plan to abduct the President might
be inferred, when Immediately, Surratt
took Payne ont of the parlor, and told
him never to say anything of that kind
again in the presence of his mother or
sister, as they knew nothing about the
affair, and should not.

account of the eexecution, says, Atzerodt
made the hcs'following statement Yesterday
morning: He took. rooms aethe Kirk

pass from Vice President Johnson to 60
to Richmond. Booth was to lease The
Richmond theatre and the PreSident was
TO be invited to attend it whervisiting
Richmond, and captured Then Harold
brought the pistol and knife to the room
about $3.50 O'clock on Friday. He (Atze-
rodt) said he would not have anything to
do with the murder of Johnson, when
Booth said that Harold had muyf corr
age than Atzerodt, and he wanted Atze-
a0dt to be with Harold to urge him. 10
do it. There was a meeting at q restau-
rant about the middle of March, at
which John Surratt, O'Laughlin. Booth,
Arnold, Payne, Harold and himself were
present, when plan to capture the
President was discussed. They had heard
the President was to visit camp and
they proposed to capture him, coach and
all, drive through Langold fields to A. b.,
where the coach was to be left ana fresh
horses were to be got, and the party
would proceed to the river to take boat.
Harold took buggy to A. B., in antici-
patton that Mr. Lincoln would he cap

the river Slavery had put him on the
side of the South. He had heard it
preached in Church that the curse OF
God was upon the slaves, for they were
turned black. He always hated the
"nigger," and felt that they SHOULD be
kept in ignorance. He had not received
any money from Booth, although he had
been promised that if they were success
full they should never want, that they
would be honored throughout the South
and that they could secure an exchange
of prisoners and the recognition OF the
