NEW YOKK-The Herald on the AM
nesty Proclamation.
New YORK, December 29.-The Herald has
the following special on the amnesty procla-
nation:
"Much confusion prevails as to the full
extent and operation OF President Johnson's
last amnesty proclamation, some people, and
even good lawyers, supposing that it was not
only intended to cover the cases of jeff.
Davis, his cabinet, and all persons
guilty of treason excepted from preceding
procamations, but that it should also work
the release of Arnold, Mudd and Spanger,
now suffering at the Dry Tortugas as
aeCOmplices in crime with parties
who conspired for the assassination
of President Lincoln. However the
courts may construe the Presidents last am
nesty, sh0 I'D it come up judicia'ly, there
seems to be 40 doubt that Mr., johnson did
not intend to extend the boon of pardon to
any other than political prisoners, or such
people as had been guilty Of treason and
were either i'll prison or under certain kinds
OF disability.
"Under this view of the proclamation
DdNlo anu MS ObultucIdlG CdOluGJ WUulll
undoubtedly be relieved from further pros
ecution or disabilities and be restored to all
their civil rights, except as curtailed by
Congressional enaCtments not in conflict
with the Constitution. What portion of
these laws are thus in conflict is question
which, of course, remains TO be determined
by future adjudication.'
