result of bis tour of observation through the

EFFECT OF THE AMNESTY PROCLA-
NATION.

The Washington Republican of the 24th
inst, has the following paragraph in regard
to the effect of President Johnson's procls-
nation of Dec. 25, 1865:
"a few weeks ago the Secretary of the
Treasury referred 10 the Attorney General
. the question whether the Treasury Depart
ment had authority to seize and confscate
the Piedmont railroad in Virginia under
the act of 1861, tie same having been con-
structed by the Confederate government.
Attorney General Williams yesterday de.
cided that the Presidents proclamation of
pardon of 1865 opera ed so as to restore to
: the corporators or stockholders all their
rights, thus acting as bar against proceed
Jugs of the government. The district at
torDey viii therefore be instructed to dis
continue all proceedings, and to foreclose
the mortgage given by the road to the Con-
federate government"
The Republicans are coming gra dually
to acknowledge the full force of that proc
lamstion--that it pardoned every body.

VERY strong doubt is expressed at the
War Department as to the immediate pros
pect of placing headstones at the graves Of
the Union dead. 1t will be remembered
that million dollars were appropriated for
that purpose, but as the number of graves
is 1000, it is thought that the aggregate
cost must exceed the amount of sppropria-
ton. 1t is hardly possible that proper stones
can be procured for four dollars each,l and
if the contract price should be more athan
that, the work will not be undertaken.
