Persons whose taxable property escoeds 20,000 dollars are also excluded. The proclamation concludes with a notice to those of the excepted cl .fscs who shall make special application to tho Preeident for pardon, that such clemency will be extended as is osn»istent with the facts of the case.

The United States President al-ohag ordered the Immediate release of nil mi'itary prisoners abo e the rank of Major, who have been sentenced to imprisonment during the war, as also all naval prisoners above (he rank of captain.

A gn at meeting in support of President Johnson's A-nninistration was held at the Coo. or Institute on the 7th. General Grant was present, but he resolutely de' line I to make a speech.

Oeratt Smith, the noted abolitio is f , made a speech at the Cooper Institute, on th Sth, a.'ainst the eapi'al pmiishincnt of tlie Southern leaders. He defended the action of ' avis and others, on the ground that they h .d battled for States' rights, wliich |.reviou« to ibe war, was the declared doctrine of a majority of the peoide. ile argued that as tho Government had recognised the Confederates as belligerents when they obtained advantage- in 'be eondu I of tlie war und r those laws, it would bo pe'lidious to abrogate that concession in the hour of vietory and punish prisonois as traito s. He e intended that the proper c uirso would be to deprive ceita n !'■•nfederates for ever, and otheis for a term of v.-ars, of tho right to vote; to extend that right to negroes ; to repudiate the Confederate debt, and divide the lands of the South among tho poor whites and th-- free blacks.
