Deeember Term, 1857.

The st. Louis Street Foundry, ETC., Geo. Gro
nan, Claimant, Appellant, vs. the United States.
Appeal from the Circuit Court of the United
states for the Eastern District Of Louisiana.
Mr. Chief Justice Chase delivered the opinion OF
the court.
This case Is not distinguishable in principle
from those Just decided. II appears from the re-
cord that Cronan, 10 the Circuit Court, pleaded
the amnesty proclaimed By President Lincoln on
the Sth December, 1868, and the oath taken by
himself 10 pursuance Of the proclamation. In this
plea there was no averment that Cronan was not
within any Of the exceptions made by the procla-
mation, and il was, therefore, properly oVerruled-
Upon proper pleading and proof, however, the
claimant Of property seized under the act Of Au-
gust 9Th, 1861, Is entitled to the benefit Of am
nesty to the same extent as under like pleading
and proof he would be entitled TO the benefit OF
pardon.
The decree Of the Circuit Court must be re-
versed as irregular, and the cause remanded with
directions to allow new trial, the proceedings in
which shall be coDformed. in respect to trial By
jury and exceptions to evidence, TO the course OF
the common law.

On Saturday afternoon last q party OF we'll
known citizens Of New Orleans met on the Jack
son Railroad cars, and on consultation II was
ascertained that their destination was the same
Magnolia. They arrived there at 10 O'Clock P. NJ,
and found the accomplished host of the house,
Gen. Smedes, on hand. After washing the dust
from their faces and throats, they were escorted
to the supper room, where awaited them q repast
that Lucullus would have appreciated. Full JUS
tice having been done to the repast, tired
natures sweet restOrer " was wooed and won.
The next day was passed very pleasantly in
various ways, in reading by some, others enjoy
ing the cool shade of the Island" A deputa-
ton examined and reported on the leather factory
! Gated there. and another depptation visited and
favorAbly reported upon the celebrated bre VERY
that produces lager beer, whose fame is almost
IS great in ST. Louis as in the Boston Club of New
Orleans. Some OF the party were fond OF lager
beer, when taken in small quantities and of course
they were enthusiastic on the subject. One par
ticuarly, well known member of the Boston
Club, whose penchant for gardening has passed
inio proverb, distinguished his taste for lager
by partskiDg of an unlimited number of glasses.
The morning train on Monday brought some Of
the party back to tie city. others came by the
evening train, and the remainder safely arrived
last evening. Altogether it was a delightful
episode in the life of many of the participants A
short absence from brick walls passed in a
pleasant country town, at hotel equal in every
respect to the best in the country caused all
to return to their business haunts freshened and
rejuvinated.
Seriously, Mr.. CRESCENT, any of your readers
seeking country residences, whose preferences
do not run towards salt water, cannot do better
than go to Magnolia, pleasant country town, yet
made lively by the constant passing OF railroad
trains. really good hotel, with pleasant com.
