BROOKLYN OFFICIALS IN DIFFICULTY.

WARRINGTON, Monuay, sept =, lho'.
The Presidents Amnesty Proclamation has been
the subject OF much comment to-day. The general
Interpretation put upon is that its author intends
that those to whom it applies reGstabished fully
in all the rights of citizenship including enfanchise
ment. 1t is given out that test will soon be made
in one of the Southern States, through the courts,
which will bring out an opinion from United
States Judge. The Southern men who have
been lobbying for the Proclamation seem
dissatisfied with it, They state that it is
wide of what they wished and what the
people of the South wished. Some are bold enough
to saw that its author is dishonest and has
failed to keep his promises in the matter also that
the Proclamation is the result OF Democratic poll
tcians controlling the President ard Is intended 1or
political capital They state further that not over
hundred persons in the South will be benefited Dylt
az most of the classes to whom 1T appnes nave
already been specially and individually pardoned by
the President For instance nearly all OF the Rebel
State Governors have been heretofore pardoned, and
in Virginia the only man who member of Con-
Tess, and left his seat to engage in the Rebellion,
and who has not been pardoned individually by the
President is Thomas s. BocOck. The general impress
sion however that the President intended TO in
cude enfranehisement among the nights restored to
those Rebels receiving the amnesty and before noon
Gen Grants Office was besieged with newspaper cor
respondents looking for order from the President
reOpening registration in the Southern States. NO
such orders have yet been issued
Il. c. Callicott, Collector of the Hid New-York
Revenue District Brooklyn is in the city. 1t
that Cacott has got into trouble with his office. 1t
is given out at the Internal Revenue Department
here that lately the Metropolitan Board of Revenue
was requested by certain persons who had had deal
ngs with Cacott in his official capacity, make an
examination into the affairs of his Office. The Board
did so, and after thorough examination, came
to the conclusion that Cacotts doings as Collector
were sufficient for judicial investigation. Accordingly
the District Attorney made ont against CALI
colt, and is about to issue order for his
arrest. IL is also stated officially that
two of the five members OF the Revenue Board were
of opinion that there was no cause for suspicion
against Mr. Callicot. The matter has created good
deal of talk here among Government officials, and
the lobby who seem to be well acquainted with the
accused Callicott has been busy all day trying to
fix his case and clear himself. AS soon
as the White House and Treasury lobby
found out Callicott was here and what he was here
for, they eagerly sought him to give their aid. 1t
will be remembered that during last Winter and
Spring there trouble in getting this Inter
nal Revenue District offcered than any other IN
the State This difficulty extended also to the
postmasterhp of Brooklyn. and was not def
ntely settled until the last days of the session
of Congress. Thurbw Weed figured then conspicu-
ously as a champion of Callicotts There were other
prominent public men of New-York State, who stand
high as Republicans, who were equally as friendly to
Callicott as was Weed THE fight was between
the lobbies of Congress and the White
House. Callicott stood at the head of
the State during the canvass, and 1t was not until
several candidates of the White-House lobby had
been neglected that Calcott secured the Office. The
friends of those whom Cacott then defeated are HOW
here watching Callicott and doing their utmost to
proye him dishonest and have bin suspended by the
President under the Civil Tenure of Office act.
The President has received a letter from New York
signed by large. number of coored persons beside
members of o c0lored church, asking the appoint
ment of Fred Douglass or either Of several other ne
groes named, to succeed Gen. Howard, in case the
latter shall be removed FROM the Freedmen's Bureau
No action will be taken in Gen. Howards case for
some time probably.
Ii is ascertained from official data that since April
H. 1865 about 5000 pardons have been granted by
the President. These include some of the Rebel
foreign ministers and agents. members of the Con-
federate Cabinet Governors of Southern States, and
upwardi of 90 Brigadier Generals, with due pro-
portion Of Rebel Major Generals. Major Sttt, Chief
of the Pardon Bureau at the Attorney Generals
Office has had file for the past two years about 400
applications for pardon from persons who were en-
gagged in the Rebellion and not pardoned by the
Proclamation of May 60 1865. BY the Proclamation
of Saturday about 100 of these persons are padoned
but the other 800 cGe within the exceptions, and of
course their cases like others similarly situated must
be separately considered.
