granted by the President removes dis
establishment aud reinstates the indi-

which he cannot be deprived by any
subsequent legislation. He says the
elective franchise is one Of the rights
restored by pardon and amnesty. If a
person thus p~ardoned be refused regis
t~ratiou, let him enter O protest for the
consideration Of the commanding Gen.
eral. The Attorney closes thus: Next
to usurpation of power, there is no
higher grade of political crime than the
timid abandonment Of right"
