The Amnesty to bo Tested.
Wo learn from thu " Montgomery Mail,"
that Judge lliee, of that city, has made a per
sonal test pf the practical ,-aluo of tho Presi
dent's Amnesty. Not being able, in eon sc.
quenco of olllcc-holding before tho war,' to
tilico the oatli of registration until now, when,
on thc strength and authority of tho Exccu
live proclamation, bc took tho oath therein
prescribed.
Under that oath Judge Rice offered to reg
ister, and will ofter likewise to vote, lt is
his opinion, and he stands high as a jurist,
that every man supposed to bo disfranchised
by Act of Unngiess can take thc oath of am
nesty, ami in virtue of that oath is entitled to
vote. Tito only exceptions made arc such as
tho President has specified in his proclama
tion. The eminent Judge holds that this ac
tion on tho part ?d' individuals outlawed, by
Congress entitles them to thc restoration of
all privileges enumerated, and rights ol' prop- j
city, except as to property with regard to
slaves, and except in cases of lesral proceed
ings under the laws of tho United States
lie further maintains, that this Executive
amnesty is superior to and independent of
Congress; inasmuch as tito Constitution dele
gates lite power of reprieve, and pardon to tho
President, and his d?cision in tho premises
can only bc invalidated by illegal and revolu
tionary means. One of the privileges of thc
late amnesty is the right of franchise. Thif
priviiego Judge Rico has determined to avail
himself of, if within the limits of a legal hu
man eliott.
On this subject, tho " Mail" says, and wo.
commend its views to our readers:
"Judge Rico, sotaras woore informed,
is rite first to put himself in a position to raise
before thc Courts the question whether the
President's late, proclamation does not restore
thc right (d' voting to even supposed disfran
chised citizens who comply ."with it. lt is to
bo hoped that all of our disfranchised citizens
will follow his example, * and thus put them
selves in a position to obtain their rights, by
a calm and peaceful appeal to tho judicial
tribunals.
" Why should any citizen omit the oppor
tunity to seek from tho courts what is denied
tinder the military or reconstruction bills?
Thc Way is marked out. Will? tho disfran
chised fail lo put themselves in that- way ?
Every one of~ Ulbi?l ought lo comply with thc
proclam.ition before tito day of election, ami
thereupon oller tn vote nt tho election. This
is what they owe to themselves and their
country."

worth a few hundred dollars. Ho now owns
farly four farms, averaging OOO hundred ?md
sixty acres each, or in nil r.bout sevou thous
and acres of laud, ut least half of which is
under cultivation ; tho whole will b,o noxj year.
Tho land lies in Scott and Cedar counties.-..
Thc past year ho put under cultivation 2,200

seventy-five cents to ono dollar an nero for cul

if such enterprise can succocd in thc far

well ask " What can an iudustrioua man do
in tho South?" How many uncultivated
ucrcs of tho richest lands thut heaven smiles
upon uro t; day awaiting somo revolutionary
touch to make them start into useful exis
tence ! How many landowners thcro arc with
thc means all around thom to build and peo
ple villages and towns, of which they may pos
sess tho greater share; and yet who tries?
No doubt an occasional attempt is made to
do something after this kind, but how quick
ly small obstacles deter and discourage ! What
we most require is persistent offert, combined
with courage, liberality and genuino enter
prise-that which can wait upon tho future
for its reward. Dut now is the time to lay
its foundation for suoccss. Now thc eyes of
