The list of judicial officers of the United
States still disqualified comprises eX-Suprc'nc
Court Justice John y. Campbell, now iii
large practice at New Orleans Judges lialy-
burton and Brockenbrough, Of Virginia ;
and others. 1t is question whether eX-
United States marshals Or district attorneys
are or are not embraced in this exception,
and whether persons who had ceased to hold
judicial positions when secession COM
menced, and subsequently aided il, are or
are not relieved 10y the bill.
There were about 80 officers of the United
States army and navy who left their places 10
aid the rebellion, and of these probably not
one-half are now alive. The law, however,
is ambiguous, and the exceptions may and
probably do include all those who had even
been educated at West Point, or who had re-
signed long anterior to the rebellion in
which they participated. Of the number
thus under disabilities are General Samuel
Cooper, Confederate Adjutant. General at
Richmond Generals Joseph Johnston,
Beauregard, Bragg. Samuel Jones. Hartle.',
Pemberton, Guslarus W. Smith, Hood,

tenn of deep-sea soundings. are the most
noted exceptions among eN-navy officers.
Jacob Thompson, of Mississippi, Secretary
of the Interior, is the only Cabinet officer Of
Buchanan now alive who aided secession.
But the exceptions include also Governor
William A. Graham, of North Carolina, who
was Secretary Of the Navy under Mr.. Fill
more; c. NJ. Conrad, Of Louisiana, cN-Secre-
t,ry of War, and possibly some Others. Henry
r. Jackson, of Georgia, and General William
Preston, of Kentucky, were foreign minis
tels, and are therefore embraced i'll these OK.
ceptions. II is hard to estimate precisely the
number still under disabilities, but it would
not be wide of the mark TO put the number
ut from three hundred to five hundred per-
sons.-Neir York Tribune.
