PROCLAMATION.
EXECUTIVE OFFICE, AUSTIN, Texas, November
%, 1866. Having been frequently applied to by
persons Especially members of the legal profes-
sion), who have been recommended bv me 70 the
President for special pardon, for permission to
resume their several vocations, pending the
action of the President upon the applications,
deem it proper to make known to all whom it
may concern, that am both willing and anxious
to afford every proper facility to the people of
the State, OF whatever condition, to resume and
prosecute their respective cailings and profes-
sions. And while the rule prescribed by me on
the Sth day OF September last, indicating the
manner in which attorneys could be admitted to
practice in the several courts of the state was
founded upon what believed at the time 10 be
correct principle, yet have no such pride of
opinion as to wish its longer observance If it
works an unjust or unnecessary hardship.
The question how far a person embraced
| within any of the exceptions can engage in
business pursuits before special amnesty is OBJ
tanned, is one | wish to leave for the courts of
the country to settle. But so far as depends
upon my will or wish, all those who received
my recommendation for special pardon are at
tull liberty to resume the business and duties of
| their several professions and employments.
| Parties so situated, however, must abide the
decision of the courts as to the legality of their
| right to do so tor such q question | distinctly
| disavow determining. / only desire now to be
understood that 40 objection will be made by
| me to q full and free exercise of every right of
citizenship by all persons who have manifested
| proper respect for the Government. And, will
| add, that from what have learned OF the course
! pursued in other States, in such cases. believe
| that no objection will be made by the Govern
| ment of the United States.
| llPreIOre, so I0uCl OF my pTOClaIDallOu Oh Tue
9th OF September 1866, as relates to tals subject
| is hereby revoked.
In witness whereof, hereunto set nv hand
| r, and cause the seal OF State to be affixed
lA 81 the day and year above written.
By order of the Governor.
