n eaning of the Amnesty Proclamation
4. Resistration-Cslora Jewett,


3 General Butler. who has been here severa,
days, pIoclaims that he believes the purposes
OF President johnson, as indicated by his acts
within the past month. are revolutionary and
intended to defy Congress. and that MT john
son must be impeached at an early day In tne
approaching session of Congress. General
Butler construes the amnesty proclaim alton as
intended especially to nuliify section seven Of
the last amendatory reconstruction Act which
provides that ''no person shall be registered
or vote by reason OF Executive pardon or am.
nesty." He says the proclamation itself LAYS
the foundation Of i'm peachment.
In this connection 1t may be said, upon an.
thentic Information, that the President does
not propose to issue an order opening up or
interfering with registration. as apprehendsd
by some. He does not regard it as within his
province to interfere IN any manner, BY direct
cn1cial interposttion with the workings and
details OF registrations and the proposed elec-
tlons in the Southern States. 1t is his opinion
thatwhateyeT may be the legal effect and bear
ing OF the amnesty proclamation upon the
civil and political status OF those who come
within its provisions, 1t Is for these persons
themselves to assert their rights, II they be- de.
ma anded, and il need be test them, by the modes
and process, II any there be, indicated by the
laws OF the land. But, nevertheless. it is un-
derstood to be the unqualified opinion OF Mr.
Johnson and the members OF bis Cabinet, save

piece OF land adjoining the farm of Mr.. Isaiah
Watkins, abont seventeen miles from Balti-
more, on the Hartford turnpike, was murdered
by q. gro called Lewis who was employed
uPon Mr.. Watkins' place. It appears that Mr..

that he would fix him McDermott) for saying
SO. On WEDNESDAY evening Lewis was Engaged
in hauling manure, and the lad started to drive
in the cows. That evening the negro did not
return until late, and McDermott did not come
to his mether's house. The next morning search
was made, and the dead body Of the boy. with
deep cut in the left breast was found in

Will signify their assent in the came manner

will afford the Government ample time TO
prepare, and II Its represen fail to prose-
cute the prisoner before the term Of the court
