General Grants Testimony.


General Grants testimony before the Ju-
dietary Committee is published. The Gen.
eral says he was frequently in consultation
with Mr.. Johnson in relation to the recon-
struction measures and that he interceded
for Gen. Lee, ,and recommended the pardon
of Gems Longstreet, French and George III.
Stuart. On the subject Of pardons, General
Grant expressed the opinion that so long
as the surrendered rebel soldiers kept their
parole and obeyed the laws, they we're not
subject to trial by the courts. He disagreed
with the President when the latter insisted
that the leaders must be punished, and told
Mr.. Johnson that this could be done only
when they violated their parole. This did
not apply to jefferson Davis or others who
were captured, only to those who were pa
rolled. ln regard to the Amnesty Procla-
nation, Gen. Grant testified that he "could
not see any reason why the fact ofa volun-
teer rising to the rank of q Gen. should ex-
clude him any more than any other grades.
with reference to the $4,000 clause,
/ thought that mans success in the world
was no reason for bis being excluded from
amnesty, but i recolect afterwald saving
to the President that 1 thought he was right
in that particular and Twas wrong. never
claimed that the parole gave these prisoners
any political right whatever. Thought that
was matter entirely with Congress, over
which / had no control. that, simply as
General-in. Chief commanding the army,
had right to stipulate for the surrender on
terms which protected their lives. That
is all | claimed"
In regard to the North Carolina Procla.
nation, General Grant said Il was in favor
of that or anything else which looked to
civil government until Congress could meet
and establish government there; | did not
want all chaos left there and no form of civil
government whatever; was not in favor of
anything or opposed to anything particular
ly | was SIMPLY in favor of having govern
,nont thara .
81 know that Immediately after the close
of the rebellion there was very fine feeling
manifested in the South, and thought we
ought to take advantage of it as soon as
possible, but since that there has been an
evident change there"
In regard to the Presidents policy, Gen.
Grant said: "Mr. Lincoln, prior to his as
sassination had inaugurated policy intend
ed to restore those governments. l was
present once before his murder, when plan
was read. The plan adopted by Mr. John
son was substantially the plan which had
been inaugurated by Mr.. Lincoln as the la
sis for his future action, / do not know
that it was verbatim the same. ! think the
very paper which heard read twics while
Mr.. Lincoln was President was the one
which was carried right through"
20. what paper was that !? A. The
North Carolina proclamation"
Since the publication of this testimony,
the RAIDS are not so enthusiastic tor hIs
nomination for the Presidency. Ii 10 doubt
full now whether be will be their chosen
standard bearer"
