A letter from Washington says "Ex-Gov.
VIM. Smith, of Virginia, has pctitioned tor
removal of his political and legal disabilities.
Soon after the war Mr.. Smith applied to Pres
idcnt johnson for pardon, but subsequently
ceased to press his application because Of the
fact that there seemed at that time no hope
for the extension of pardon to so many of the
leading men of the South with whom he had
been associated. Now that the disabilities
have been removed from the great mass OF
those with whom he acted, he thinks his mo-
tives in asking to be restored to all the rights
of American citizenship cannot be miScon-
strucd. The House relieved Mr. Smith yes
ter,lav, and his case is now in the Senate

SIX MILLION DOLLARS FOR RECOVER
ING A FRENCH INHERITANCE.

A dispatch was published few days
ago announcing that through the in-
strumentality of the Hon. j. p. Benja-
min, two ladies in Georgia had recov-
cred an inheritance in France valued
at Sl2, 100000.
The Atlanta (Ga.) Herald publishes
the interesting details:
From positive authority 1t is ascer-
tained that Mrs. Virginia NJ. Campbell
and her niece, Mrs. Elmina Chambers,
both of Madison. Ca, are entitled to
$4,000, 900, now waiting in France to
be claimed by the fortunate ladies.
Mrs. Campbell is a widow about
seventy years Of age; her niece, Mrs.
Chambers, is also widow aged about
thirty-six. The vast property which
they have inherited belongs to the
Rennauleau estate. Information IN
regard to it was received by them
about three months since, and by the
advice of gentleman in Madison,
who says that he was once law part
ner of the Hon. Judah P. Benjamin,
they at once wrote to the latter in
London, asking him what course to
pursue in the matter. Mr.. Benjamin,
after thoroughly investigating the
case, wrote to Mrs. Campbell and Mrs.
Chambers that there was not a ques-
of doubt in regard to their claim, and
advised them to come to Europe at
once. The property descends to these
ladies through Mrs. Rennauleau,
grandmother of Mrs. Chambers. Mrs,
Campbel's maiden name was Mcguire,
her mother having been Mdlle. Rem
nauleau. They are connected with
one OF The best families in France.
BY the terms Of an agreement be-
tween Mr.. Benjamin and the two
ladies the former will take one-half of
the whole amount of the estate, and
tie other half, $6,00O,00O, will then
fall to Mrs. Campbell and Mrs. Cham
bers, the share Of each being the neat
little sum of $3,000,000. Seven mil
lions and a half are in the hands of the
bank of France, and 4,500,000 in the
hands OF the Rothschilds. Mrs. Cham
bers was in Augusta on the 10Th, max
ing arrangements tor the voyage OF
herself and aunt to Europe. They
will be accompanied by q lawyer from
Savannah, and Mr.. Antoine Picquet,
of Augusta, who goes for the purpose
of identifying them. They will also
carry papers signed by the oldest citi-
zens Of Augusta, proving their identity.
They will leave for Europe, we under
stand, next Tuesday
