1t is understood that tn. proposed amnet
proclamation was before the Cabinet yesterda
and that Il long discussion thereon took phG
The subject ofthis proclamation has been dt
cussed in Cabinet melting before, meeting cons
cradle opposition from some ofits members. d
originally written it is said to have provided
the pardon of all engaged in the rebellion saT
Davis, Lee, Beauregard, and few others; bn
since the former Cabinet discussion it is said \
have been so modified us to make the amnestyle

it at all. There is no doubt, however, that Their

Financial Crisis in Richmond,

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 6, 1S67.-Insolvenc

rush into bankruptcy is the consequence

GEN. GRANTS VIEWS ON NEGRO SUI
FRAGE.- Democratic papers are circulating
the statement that Gen. Grant does not hes
1tate in conversation to condemn negro suf-
rage. This is wholly groundless. The Gen.
eral declares his firm belief that the negroes
OF the South are fully competent to exercise
their right to vote intelligently on present
issues there, and further, that only through
universal suffrage can the rebel rule be broken
down; that qualified suffrage would not at
the present time afford the means of over
coming the rebel VOTE Washington Cores

Letter from the Chief Justice.

s
In addition to the letters heretofore pub
hshed from Gen. Grant and Gen. Howard,
the following was received from the Hon.
s. P. Chase, Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States:
PROVIDENCE, Sept. 4, 1867.
DEAR COLONEL Il have just received
through you, Gov. Holders invitation to
attend the Conventional course too late.
Please assure him and the Committee of my
thanks for it, and of my ardent wishes and
entire confidence in the speedy restoration
of North Carolina to full participation IN
the national government through the efforts
of her loyal sons. Yours very truly,
S. P. CHASE.
Col. J. T. DEwEEsE.
Surely, even the Sentinel will not say that
the Chief Justice is "demoralized partizan."
We are proud to know that the Republi-
cans of this State, in their earnest efforts to
restore North Carolina to the Union, have
the sympathy and confidence of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Court, of the General
of our Armies, anG of the Chief of the Freed
mems Bureau. These distinguished men are
thus simply standing By the go0e'nnaent, and
those who assail them for so doing are enemies
to the government.
1t is proper to state that the invitations
were not general. The Republicans would
have been glad to have seen and welcomed
scores of our Northern and Western friends,
but it was deemed proper to invite only the
Chief Justice, the General of the Army, and
the Chief of the Bureau.

Burton G. Cook, of Illinois, and General
Shanks, of Indiana members of the Union
Congressional Committee, had interviews
with Gen. Grant yesterday, during which

that officer announced his unqualified en-
dorsement of the congressional policy of re-
construction. He also expressed his wiling

CALIFoRNIA.-The Republican vote in the
recent election was divided between two
candidates, and the result will show that it
was larger than the Democratic vote. Bad
management, not lack of votes, lost Cali
fornia. If the rebels expect that the Lost
Cause will be revived on the shores of the
Pacific, they will be mistaken.

SWINE DIPTHERIA AND CHoLERA.-We
learn from the Western Farmer that these
two diseases so fatal to swine, are still pre-
vailing in Wilkes, Caldwell, Allegheny and
adjoining Counties; and we call the atten-
ton of Veterinarians to the fact, so that if
any cure is known to them, it may be at
once given to the public. The best known
regimen to guard against these diseases, is
plenty of pure water, charcoal and rotten
wood, placed conveniently to the place where
they are fed. For porcine diptheria a strong
tea made from smart-weed or water pepper,
and used as garge, is very efficient rene

"IF CONGRESS- EVER CoNvENEs. Some
days ago the confidential organ of the Pres
ident in this city published communica-
ton from one of its readers and disciples, in
which occurred the suggestive clause which
we have used as a caption. The Missouri
Democrat alludes to this threatening insinua-
ton as follows:
IF Congress ever convenes!" 1t will
convene, though the streets of Washington
should run with blood. We trust it wilnot
waste three days in performing duty too
long delayed. We trust that this long strug-
gle may yet be ended peacefully, justly, and
in accordance with law, by the removal of
the only obstacle to a speedy and safe recon-
struction. But it can no longer be denied
that there is danger. Mr.. johnson has pow
er to do mischief His acts indicate that he
means to do mischief His position is des-
perate. And if reconstruction should be
defeated, so that new legislation and longer
delay should be necessary; if new turmoil
and strife should arise, with peril to the
country; the responsibility will rest upon
those who permitted this dangerous man to
remain in the Presidential chair.
