Tho address of the National Committee
of the Democracy Of the United States,
sent out from Washington, last month, de-
serves especial attention.
1t regards President johnson as special
ly ordained for the great and glorious mis-.
sion of restoring the country to the unity
which was severed by the republican party
in a manner SO insidieus as to prevent the
anti-war party at the North from exercis-
ing its opposition.
The address opposes negro suffrage, ana
contends for white mans nationality
II contends for the immediate restora-
ton of the Southern States, with all their
rights and privileges unabridged; and
believes that nthe means are already pro-
vided which promise speedy success in the
attempt TO carry all necessary measures
for the welfare of the common country"
The North has returned from the Black Re-
publican experiment and is now largely
democratic. The South is unanimously
fixed on the same basis, and the talents and
position of the Chief Magistrate form
strong elements in the mighty and salutary
combination, the first movement Of which
will be TO inaugurate new era Of safety
and prosperity to the country.

We see that n loague or party is bein

We see that league or party is being
formed in this State, the main object of
which seems to be, to prescribe forever all
the citizens of this State who ever gave any
voluntary assistance to the effort to estab-
lish a Southern Separate nationality. 1t
lad its commencement, we believe, in Gal
weston, where the first club, league or I'M
ion was formed, the members of which bind
themselves in the most solemn manner new
to vote for any voluntary supporter of the
Southern Confederacy. We understand al
so that q club is being organized upon the
same basis in this city. The only difficulty
in the way of the formation of such party,
so far as we can see, is the absence of
climber" out of which to construct it, 1t
may be the intention to "grow it, on the
voluntary" principle. We see no objection
to the formation of such party, if we
must have parties. Prescription is the best
platform for some men. Let the few who
like it get on it.-7tlegraph.

UyFouNpEp REPORTS ABOUT GEN. Lee
New York Aug. lathe Herald's Rich
mond correspondent says: The report in
the Northern papers bearing upon the
movements of Gen. r. E. Lee are wholly
erroneous. Six weeks or more ago Gen.
Lee left this city and proceeded to the vii
lage of Gainesville, Buckingham county,
in this State, on the South of James River,
forty miles from Richmond, where he is
living in the utmost seclusion, scarcely
answering the miscellaneous letters ad-
dressed to him. He resides in small cot
tage, the property of Mr.. Cox, adjacent to
and belonging to which are some four acres
of land which he finds recreation in Guilt
waiting. Gen. Lee is unusually retired in his
seclusion, and it is probable he will rarely
if ever emerge from it.

DEATH OF Gov. MURRAH.-The San An
tonic News of the 18th, says that q letter
from Monterey, of the 18th inst, received
in that city, mentions that Pendleton Muir
rah, late Governor of Texas, had died in
that place on the night previous. No par
ticulars were given. We hope the report
will prove untrue. Governor Murrah was
one of the ablest lawyers in the State, and
gentleman Of brilliant intellect. He went
to Marshall about eighteen years ago, a
poor friendless boy, and by merit and tai
ent alone, won the highest position in the
gift of the people of Tcxas.-CfockW Quid

PETITIONS FOR SPECIAL PARDoN.--Ast there
has been no published regulations as to
what facts are necessary to be stated in Pc
titions to the President for special pardon
under his Proclamation of the Doth of May
last we will say that all such petitions
should state the exception or exceptions I'M
der which they are excluded from amnesty
stating every exception which embraces
their case, and denying that they are en-
braced in any other; the precise nature of
their connection with the late rebellion and
the rebel government; whether the same was
voluntary and in conformity with their
feelings or otherwise, and the manner, spir-
it, and temper which characterized their
conduct; whether they aided in bringing
about the So called Secession of the State,
and voted for the same or not; whether they
believed in the right of Secession then; and
what their present views of the question
are. They should state, that they have taken
the oath Of amnesty, (the oath ac company
ing the petition) and declare in the most
explicit manner that they intend to observe
it in spirit and letter-recognizing the fact
of the extinction of slavery and their duty
and intention to observe and defend the
laws of Congress and the Proclamations Of
the President of the United States upon the
subject of the emancipation of the slaves
that they intend to deport themselves in all
things, as good and loyal citizens of the
United States government; and obey its
laws and Constitution; with whatever re-
grets they may feel for their past conduct,
and desire to renew their allegiance to the
United States.
The petitions should be sworn to and be
accompanied by any recommendations Of
known loyal men they can get, as to their
disposition to observe in good faith any
promises they may make of fidelity to the
government hereafter.-4ustin Intelligen-

To the Editor Of the Index: Sir:-I have
great pleasure as Treasurer Of the "Stone-

cover the very reasonable offer Of Mr.. Foley.

Mr.. Foley is ct work, with the confident
expectation Of q very successful result, hav-
ing such noble features as those Of Stone

Governor Perry's speech at Greenville, s.

quite interesting. He did not, either in this
speech, or in his conversations with the
President and Cabinet, repudiate or modify
knew of his appointment of Provisional
Governor. With true South Carolina frank
ness, he unequivocally recommends immed-
late and unqualified loyalty to the Presi-
dents plan and policy of restoration; at the
same time that he expresses all the sympa'
thy for his State becoming one of her sons.

Proclamation by the Governor.
EysCuTIyE OFFICE,

City of Austin, Sept. 8. 1865, !
WHEREAS, The most deliberate reflection
has convinced me that to open the Courts
of the country, at the present time, for
the general collection of debts, will be
greatly detrimental to the people and
whereas, various acts have been passed
since the second day Of March, A. d.
1861 by assemblies of persons claiming
to exercise legislative powers in this
State, in reference to the time of holding
the Courts in the several Judicial Dis
tricts of the State, and also changing the
form of some of the Districts; which said
acts may be productive Of confusion and
irregularity in the action of the Courts,
unless some general rule be prescribed {:
And, whereas, it is necessary to prescribe
some regulations respecting the Attorn-
eys and Counsellors at Law who have
heretofore been licensed to practice in the
Courts of the State, and to define their
duties and disabilities:
And whereas, the former laws OF the State
for the punishment of offences com mitteu
by slaves and free persons OF Color nre
no longer applicable to the changed COZ
dition of all persons Of color IN the
country; and it is necessary, IN tne az
sence of State legislation on this subject
70 define. for the guidance Of the Courts OF
the State. in the administration OF the
criminal law, the rights which persons
of color being free, are entitled TO have
accorded them:
therefore. |. AxDAEw J. HAMILTON, by
virtue Of the power vested IN me as ITO

have determined, and do order and pro
claim as follows:
