The 16oV o ily 862, pld President p1
incoln's pr oolaton conpequent there- in
yon, imposed the penalty of forfeiture n
the entire property, real and personal, ie
pon every man whiloshould continue,
ter sixty tlays, to' paticipate in,. or in of
ny manner abet, the rebellion. .,It was pi
trenchant measures of nyuoh the raipe I
haracter as the enactment of the Co. p
aderate'Opngress, ten moniths ptevious, 1
hich smote all sorts and descrptions- ti
f property belonging to ",alien enemies;"' t"
hit is to say, to- friends of the Union. p
Vere this law now to be carried out, it
Vould make iearly.every Southern man e.
ad woman houseless, landless, penniless; pi
or nearly every Southern aman and wo- t
nan has in some way participated in
he rebellion since that time. -
The Amnesty Proclamation of Presi
lent Johnson relieves all from this for
eiture, excepting those embraced within I
he fourteen categories specified. Its 0l
Practical effect is'to lift the liability to I
onfscation from nearly every Southern e
mrin and plantation. Comparatively
ow of the owners of farms and vlanta- t:
ions come within the range of the desig- I
iated exceptions. The men who served i
n the Confederate Congress, and who
led the Confederate offices, were mostly 4
awyers, or professional politicians, who
iad notLing to do with agriculture. The I
nilitary offieers above the rank of Colonel I
bere mostly officers of the old national I
krmy, who had lived in garrison, and 1
wn-d little or no real estate. The h
?antire and fhrmers of the South almost k
Liniversally remained at home without
iny official connection with the Con- j
ederate Government. This was in- ac i
.ordance not only with their own habits I
nd dispositions, but with the policy of
Lhat government ;.-one of its chief
solicitudes being to secure for its great
irmies adequmate subsistence. The only
-ne of the eceptions speified, which, to
rny extent, touches the planting and
arming classes of the South, is that which
xcludte from the benefit ofthe 'amnnety
1l abetters of ile rebellioi who have
taxable property valued at more than
Iwenty thousand dollars. But the rava
ges of the war, the loss of slave property,
the disorganization of the whole labor
system, and the uncertainties . of the fu.
Lure, have so greatly reduced. all of the
old agricultural values, that it is safe to
say that not one in one hundred of the
present landholders of the South has
taxable property to the amount named
in this proclamation.
will be then, at mot, but oom
parativelv little confiscation of Southern
fandt.- 'hisk fact, we doubt not, will
give general satisfaction. The object
ofthe original law was 'not retributive
bat retorative. It was hoped -that-tho
property-holders of the South' would. be
influbnced by the fear of ruin to take
advantage of the sitty days grace -prie
sented by the President's proclamanon,
and retard to their alegianoe.. Pfrhops
some such effect might. have followed,
had McClellan taket' Richmond within
the twoo monthes; a 1aathen expected.
But the Soutbern people could llnd, oth
in in hie disasters to-mesure themn of the
ability of the government to, zeestablish
its piower. . o So'ithern mani, at that,
timue, however 'percoaslly attached to
the, old flag, could honoludt from our
method of oonduictinig the war,.that-the
rbellion wotuld be overoomne; andsit is
not as all strange that Southesrn pioport
