Applications for Pardon.

The Washington correspondent of
the New York Herald, writing under
date Of June l9, says:
To days mails have made large
addition to the number Of applications
for Executive pardon, and particularly
from the States of Virginia and North
Carolina. Notwithstanding the mis-
presentations Of interested and de-
signing politicians, the mass Of the
people from those States accept the
Presidents policy Of reconstruction
cheerfully and unreservedly. Such
persons as have conversed with from
tSoth sections are loud in praise of the
general features put forth in his pro-
clamations, and assert that as soon as
their neighbors come to understand
what action is necessary to bring them
again under the protection of the
Federal Government, the movement
and the acqniescence will he almost
unanimous. That some practical diff
ficulties may be encountered, and some
mirror differences of opinion spring up
thereon, IS admitted by all thinking
men: but that any serious difficulties
are likely to arise, they assert to be
entirely out Of the range Of proba
bilitv. They urge with much appa-
rent forcA, that no stronger evidence Of
Il desire 10 return to the Union on the
terms "ff.red by the President conld
possibly be given than Is daily fur
nished by those numerous applications
for pardon from the classes Of ,nen
excepted by the proclamstions. One
Of the difficulties to be considered and
overcome grows out Of the twenty
THOUSAND dollar exception. Many
large manuf urers, like j.. Ander-
sou. of the. 1rede -ar Iron Works, and
Haxall and Crenshaw, OF the Rich
nnond Flaming Mills. ho are person
ally md justly obnoxious and anne
nahle to punishment, are but part
owners Of their immense e>tablislf-
mrnts, and have loyal and deserving
men for partners. Some rule sepa
rating such interests is imperativelv
dem n'letl, that the manufacturing and
pr" duclive interests of the South may
be put in m tion, and the thousands
OF employees and artisans now idle be
enabled 10 earn their sub, i>tence.
Those who have feared that the Pre-
sldent's clemency in the matter of par
dons was likely to lie abused may as
we'll abandon the idea at once. Mr..
johnson is too clear.headed and far.
seeing to become befogged OK, matter
that has had such careful consideration
as this, or to be duped by men with
whose Vaccinations and anteceGents
be has been familiar for years. Not
over fifty have thus far been pardoned,
and thes. are men without national
reputation or influence, aud c.earl, en-
titled to rcins' atement.
