New YORK, Nov. 25.

The Tribune publishes the testimony
of Gen. Grant, Judge Chase and Secreta-
ry Seward on the impeachment case
Gen. Grant said: II have seen the
president very frequently in reference to
the condition of affairs in the rebel states
When | was asked to be at cabinet
meeting it was because some question
was up in which, as general of the army,
| was interested l am not aware Of any
interview with the president on amnesty.
| have occasionally recommended a per-
son for amnesty. ! thought myself, at
that time, there was no reason why, be
cause person had risen to the rank Of
general, he should be excluded from am
nesty any more than one who had failed
TO reach that rank | spoke on that
point did not see much reason for the
$4,000 clause These are the only two
points that / remember to have spoken
on at that time | afterwards, however,
told him that l thought he was much
nearer right on the $4,000 clause than |
was. was present when the proclama-
ton was read in cabinet, but my views
were not asked. Inevcr gave any opin-
ion to the president that it would be bet
ter at that time to issue q proclamation
of general amnesty"
Question" Did you ever give your
opinion to the president that his procla-
nation interfcred with the stipulations
between yourself and Gen. Lee2"
Answer" No sir. frequently had
to intercedc for Gen. Lee and other pa
rolled officers on the ground that ther pa
role, 50 long as they obeyed the laws of
the United States, protected them from
arrest and trial The president at that
time occupied the ground, viz: that they
should be tried and punished. He want
ed to know when the time would come
that they should be punished. l told him
not 50 long as they obeyed the laws and
complied with the stipulations. That was
the ground took
Question" Did you not also insist
that it applied as well to the common
soldiers p

every one who took the parole; but that
was not canvassed, except in the case Of
some leaders. | claimed that in surren-
dering their armies and arms they had
done what they could. A portion of
them could have escaped, but they sur
rendered in consideration Of the fact that
they were to be exempt from trial as long
as they confined themselves to the obi;
cations they had taken, and they were en-
titled to that"
Grant said that was his view-still the
president disagreed with him, lie insist
ed that the leaders should be punished,
and wanted to know when the time tor
their trial would come. Grant replied
when they violated their parole, bu'

Tar STARVING SoUTH-A mistaken
opinion exists in some quarters that, since
Congress has appropriated 81, ZOO, 900 for
the relief of the southern sufferers, no fur.
Their donations by the public are necessary.
This is very serious error it should be
ut once dissipatcd. We have the best
reason (says the World for knowing that
the sum appropriated by Congress, added
to the contributions Of private benevolence,
will fall short Of the amount actually need
ed to alleviate the most pressing wants of
the South. The Secretary of the Southern
Relief Commission Mr.. Bright telegraph
ed on Tuesday to Gen. Howard for infor-
nation on this point. In reply the General
says that private charity should not be
limited by the acts Of Congress that, in
addition to the sum Of 100000 already
appropriated, the sum of $500, 900 should
be raised by the people to relieve the
famine in the South. The estimate given
by him to Congress was based by calcu-
lation fixing the number of the destitute at
$4,000 but Governor jenkins, of Georgia,
has informed him that there are 10000
whites and 30, 900 blacks in Georgia alone
who need immediate relief.
The real number of the destitute in
South Carolina alone is 100000; and
this number is increasing with frightful
rapidity.
The government has placed the United
States bark Purvsyor at the disposal Of the
commission. She will be loaded this week
with $4,000 bushels of corn. The COM
mission have made an earnest appeal for
another vessel of larger capacity, to be
loaded next week
The Dunharton, procured by Mrs. Free
mont from the government for the Ladies'
Southern Relief Association, is now load
ing, with clothing, bacon, and other arti-
cles needed besides the corn with which
