Buenos Ayres, to communicate with the
Consulate and Legation there, and as

stacles to his passage up the

A PROCLAMATION.

WHEREAS, The President of the
United States has heretofore set forth
several proclamations Offering amnesty
and pardon to persons who had been or
were concerned in the late rebellion
against the lawful authority of the
Government of the United States,
which proclamations were severally is
sued on the 9Th day of December, 1863,
on the Goth day of March, 1864, on the
goth day of May, 1865, on the 7th
day of September, 1867, and on the 4th
day of July in the present year; and
WHEREAS, The authority of the
Federal Government having been estab-
lished in all the States and Territories
within the jurisdiction of the United
States, it is believed that such pruden-
tial reservations and exceptions as at
the dates of said several proclamations
were deemed necessary and proper, may
be wisely and justly relinquished, and
that universal amnesty and pardon for
participation in said rebellion, extend
ed to all who have borne any part
therein, will tend to- secure permanent
peace, order and prosperity throughout
the land, and to renew and fully restore
confidence and fraternal feeling among
the whole people, and their respect for
and attachment to the National Govern
ment, designed by its patriotic founders
for the general good.
Now, therefore, l, Andrew Johnson,
President of the United States, by vlr-
tue of the power and authority in me
vested by the Constitution and in the
name of the sovereign people of the
United States, do hereby proclaim and
declare, uncn nditiA oily "~A --;.h~.-t
reservation, to all aud to every person
who directly OF indirectly participated
in the late iusnrrection or rebellion a
full pardon and amnesty for the offence of
treason against the United States or of
adhering to their enemies during the
late civil war, with the restoration of
all rights, privileges and immunitles
under the Constitution aud laws which
have been made in pursuance thereof.
[SIGNED1 ANDREW JOHNSON.

Well Attested Cure Of Catarrh.

DIR. A. P LIGHTHILL-DRAR SR:-Your
treatment in the cure Of my Catarrh has had
the desired effect, and resulted in permanent
good to me, although my case has frequently
been pronounced incurable, aud had exhaust
ed all other modes of treatment, without the
least benefit. Ny case was so chronic and
troublesome, that by giving few of the symp-
toms the value of your treatment can be more
readily estimated For years had been atflict-
ed with constant cold in the head, obs tructing
my breathing 50 as to necessitate me to keep my
mouth open during sleep; latterly, the discharges
became solicited and impacted in my nose to
such an extent that it required the greatest e1.
ertion to eIpel them. Sometimes these hard
ened Jumps would get in my throat causing me
to hawk and scrape even by the hour to relieve
myself. Ny breath was offensive; my memory
became impaired. Dizziness and light headi.
ness made their appearance, and Of late symp-
toms of paralysis stepped in and when I placed
myself under your care one side of my face was
badly affected by this dread disease. Ny gen
eral health suffered alike, there was q constant
tired, drowsy and debilitated feeling with no
energy to move or act I felt as tired on rising
in the morning as did on going to my bed my
appetite was capricious and my disposition
morese. In that condition 1 placed myself I'M
der your care, and am happy to state that all
those disagreeabls and dangerous symptoms
have entirely left me, and once more enjoy the
benefits of good health.
By giving this publicity you will benefit
others similarly affected and oblige me.
