PARDONs
The report of the Acknowledgement relative
to pardons is now almost completed. The report COM
prehends only those persons included 10 the 18th excep
ton or 500 900 clause. There will probably be from
10 900 to 49, 900 OF this class and under other e1cep
tons there are about many more, making from
% 900 to 30 900 pardons already issued Virginia. Ala
bama Georgia and North Carolina lead the other
Southern States in the number Of those
who have received Executive clemcncy.
Only few Rebel officers OF high rank have been par
doned and hardly any Southerners educated at West
Point who deserted tho United States service TO enter
the Confederate army. 1t Is not generally understood
that In the South owning property require pardon
ard that large number Of this class have applied for
and received Executive clemency. 1t may not BIO i'm
proper that the property ofloya Southern resi-
dents has been restored in but few instances.

eraey; that he always purposely avoided it.
AFFAIRS IN TEXAS.
Gen. Gustav arrived to-day from Texas. He
gives rather gloomy account OF political affairs in that
State. There is little. II any, loyalty outside oar
lines, and II our troops withdrawn there
would be hone anywhere. Grecnbacks are but seldom
acknowledged any value and gold and silver are
the circulating medium. In many places greenbacks
will not buy food fuel The idea that they will ever
be paid Is but seldom entertained. Matters are daily
growing worse
