TUE MAJORITY OE THE COMMETTE RECOMMEND TUE HOUSE TO PREFER ARTICLES OF IM? PEACHMENT TO THE SENATE. As briefly stated in our Washington telegrams, three several reports from the Judiciary Committee were presented to tho House of Representatives on Monday last on tho proposed impeachment of the President. Tho majority report, concluding with a rcsolut'on recommending impeachment, is sign? ed by Me ssis. Boutwell, of Massachusetts, Law? rence, of Ohio, Wilhams, of Pennsylvania, Thom? as, of Mrryland, and Churchill, of New York. It is extremely len ,'tby, coverin 1 soveral hundred pages of closely written foolscap. Tho chairman of tho committee, J.r. Wilson, of Iowa, presented a minority report, signed by himself and Mr. Woodbridge, of Vermont, ta'ung the ground that in view of all tho evidence which has been present? ed, there IB nothuigto require the interposit iou of tho constitutional power of tho House, and recom? mending that the subject be laid on the table. The only Democrats 011 the committoo, Messrs. Eldridge, of Wisconsiu, and Marshall, of Hlinois, also presented a minority report agreeing in the main with thc conclusions arrived at by Messrs. Wilson and Woodbridge. We give below a full ab? stract of tho MAJORITY REPORT. The Committee on the Judiciary, to whom was referred thc resolution of thc 7th of March la6t, authorizing them to i.iquiro into thc official con? dor: ol Andrew Johnson, Vice-President of thc United States, discharging tho present duties of the office of President ol tho United States, and t report to this House whether, in their opinion, tho Baid Andrew Johnson, while in said office, has boon guilty of neus which wero dosignod or calcu? lated 10 overthrow or coi rapt thc Government of the United States, or any department or officer thereof, und whether the said Andrew Johnson hos boon guilty of any act, or has conspired with other? to do acts which, in tho contemplation of thc Constitution, are high crimes a id misdemean? ors requiring tho interposition of th 'constitution .-.1 power of this House, respectfully report : That in thc performance ol tue important task assigned to them, they have spared no paius to make their investigation as complete as possible, not only by the exploration of the public archives, but in following every indication that seemed to promise any additional light upon the great sub? ject of inquiry, and they submit herewith the re? sult of that portion of their labors in tho volumi? nous exhibit that accompanies this report. In order, however, to direct the attention of the Houoc to such portions of the somewhat hetero geneous mass of testimony, which they havo been compelled to present w ithout tho order of arrange? ment that might have facilitated itu examination, as arc regarded by them as most material lo tho issue, they will now proceed to stale, us briefly as possible, tho leading facts which they snppose tho inquiry to haye developed beyond dispute, along with then own conclusions "therefrom, and the reasons by which they haye boen influenced in reaching thom. In so doing they rmist bc allowed t' o indulgence which a comprehensivo scrutiny, rn tinning oven a two years' administration of the affaira of a great Government, through an un? exampled crisis of thc State, and involving the very highest matters that can engago the atten? tion of a free people, would seem to necessitate, and must, at all evputs. expose. The charges made, ?nd to which the investiga? tions o! thc Committee have been especially direct? ed, aro usurpation 0?Dower and violation of law in the corrupt abuse of the appointing, pardoning and reto powers ; in tho connut interference in elec? tions, and generally, in tue commission of acts amounting to high crimes and misdemeanors un? der the Constitution ; and upon this recital it was charged with the inure general duty* ol inquiring into tho official c nduct o? the President of thu United States, and of reporting "whether he had been guilt) Cf any acts which were designed or cal? culated to overthrow, subvert or corrupt tho gov? ernment of tho United Maies; or which, in con? templation of the Constitution, would constitute a high cl inic or misdemeanor requiring the interpo? sition of the constitutional power of tho House." lt will bc ob?orvcd that the great salient point ot accusation standing o;:t in thc forogrouud and challenging the attention ot tnt country is usurp "t ? ion of power, winch involves, of COUfB?, ?1 viola? tion ot law. And hero it may be remarked that perhaps every great ?huse, every flagrant depar? ture from the well-settled principles of the Gov? ernment, which has been brought home to its present administration, whether discerning itself in special i?frncUcns of tho statutes or in the profligate usc of the high Bowers conferred by tho Constitution on the President, Of revealing itself moro manifestly iu the systematic attomp? io seize up ?1 its sovereignty and disparage and supersede thc great council to which that sovereignty has ? icn entrusted in reference to tho ono great pur pi se of reconstruuiing thc shattered Governments jftiic rebel Stetes iu iica eu (linne with his own wish, in tho interest of the great criminals who carried them into tho rebellion, mid iu such a way ?S to deprive tho people ol' tho loyal Statis ot ail j strongly maintained by the operation of th rights of .sovereignty bidget', with it by the r on the other, wlii.-li baa convulsed this na tic tim last two yoars, and presented a spcctach has 1:0 example here, and none in England the era ot the Stuarts, bogan with the advi tin' prisent Chief Magistrate. Tho catasfa that lighted him to his place, while it smot heart of the nation with grief and horror. WI last expiriug armed effort of the insurrection capital of tho rebel government had falle: chiefs were fugitives; its hag wan in the dus strife of arms had ceased. The hosts tna been gathered for thc overthrow of this n had either melted away in defeat and disast passed under tho conquering hand of the ropi The extiaordiuary mission of the Executivi fulfilled. Although, :.s thc coinmander-in-i he might possibly treat with a belhgeret arms, the cessation of the war in the overton the rebellion, and tho unconditional surrend' tho armies, had determined that power.

But the dut i this sovereign were not yet at an end. An e: of territory of almost continental dimensions, olated by war, but still swarming wit h rnillioi people, was at our feet awaiting the sen! winch it had.deserved. The local governments swept away, as they been, in tho opinion of the President hiinsel tho whirlwind of the rebellion, were in ruins, v communities wei? in anarchy, the courts oui ed, tho Bocial tie clissolved, ?1 system of prctei lawB oxisting in deadly conflict with the law 0 conqueror, a people subdued, but sullen auf of hate, and hostile as ever to the power that overthrowu them; a loyal clement asking for tection, a now and anomalous relation Wi tho parallel in history, about which the evites statesmen might well hesitate and differ, sup* duced fratricidal strifes that had ruptured thc gina! ties and placed its objects in the conditio public enemies; a large army to be disband'd. such indulgent .xtended," such punishmen flictod, and such security demanded for tho fu as the interests of peace'and justice might reqi Never m the history of thia or any other 8 have questions more "numerous and vital, more licate or difficult, requiring graver deliberatioi involving the exerci.se of higher govemmo powers presented themselves for the considera of a people, and never was a Congress convoke* amore seriouB ci isis of a Stato. The duties responsibilities of the men who formed and or{ ized tho Union of these States, and of those \ assembled h^re in 18G1 to consult upon and ] vido thc means for suppressing this great rc hon, were as nothing in tho compariaou, and mauded certainly no higher sagacity and no brr cr wisdom than tho task of bringing back the 1 membered states, and fusing these jarring 1 discordant elements into one harmonious wholi For this great work tho anpremo Executive tho nation, even though bo had boen endowed nature with the very highest of organiziug fae ties, was obviously unfitted by tho very nature his office. If Mr." Lincoln had survived, it is to be doubted, from his habitual deference to pub'ic will, that although a citizen of a loyal St and enjoying the public confidence in the high possible degree, ho would have felt it to bo duty to convoke tho representatives of thc poe to lay down his sword 111 their presence and to fer it to their enlightened and patriotic judgm to decide what was to bo done with tho tcrntoi and people that had boen brought under thc thorlty of the Government by our arms. The bl'joely hand of treason unfortunately mo him away iu thc very hour of the nation's trium But if these were reasons which could havo mi this duty an imperative one with him, how pow fully were they reinforced by thc doublo effeel thotragedy that not only deprived the nation its trusted hoad, but cast the reins of Governm upon a successor. The new President was hi self in tho doubtful and delicate position 0 citizen of ono of the revolting States which w to be summoned for judgment hoforc tho hai the American people. It was porhaps natural tl he should sympathize with the communities fr which lie heel mainly differed only on prudcnl reasons, or in other words, as to thc wisdom tho revolt at that particular juncture of affairs. If other arguments had not suflio'd tn convii him ot the necessity of referring all these gn que-tions t i the only tribunal on earth that li the nower to decide thom, it oupht to have bc sufficient that ho owed alike his honor and 1 accidental powers to tho gonercus conlidenoe of t loyal States. rle expected, of course, that tb would insist- as they had a right todo-upon su conditions a." would secure to them, if not inde nity for the past, at least tho ample?! securities tho future. Instead, therefore, of convoking t Congress of the Uni.eel States to deb berat 0 up the condition of the country, ho seems to ha made np his mind to undert.ilio that mighty t:i himself, to forestall the judgment and tho wisl of the loval people, and to neutralize thc power undo his work by bringing in thc rubel Stat themselves to participate ra thu deliberations up vny and all questions which might be left for si i lenient. To effect this object he issues his imperial pr cl.limitions, beginnin? with that of thc 39th May, in virtuo, ns ho says, ol' his double authuri as President of the United Statea and commande in-chief of the armies, declaring the goverumeii ol Iheso States to have perished, creating, und tho denouini'ttion of Provisional Governors, cv offices unknown to the law, appointing to tho offices men who wero notoriously disqualified, I reason of their participating ba tho rebellion, fro holding any office under this Government, and y allowed to bold the same and exercise the dutii thereof at salaries fixed by himself and paid out 1 tho contingent fund of one of the department.-; i clear violation ol the :icts of July 2d, 18(12. and Ol ot February, 1803. Dedaring, moreover, at ll same time, that the gOVCrnmen' ot these Stati had boon destroyed, he assumes it to be his 11 dividual right, as being himself tho Stato, rathe tho United States, to execute tho guaranty of tl: Constitution by providing thom with new one: and accordingly directed his pretended Gove, nors to order Conventions of such ol thc people a it was his pleasure to indicate, lo make constiit tiona for them, on such terms ?ind with such pix visions aa were agreeable to himself. Unprovidec however, of courise, in thc absence of Congres! with the luiccssary resources to meet tho ei penses of these organiz liions, he not only direct tho paymont of a portion ot them out ot the con tiugent fund of tho War Department, but with boldness unequalled even by Charles 1, when he too, undertook to reign without a parliament,prc vides for a deficit by authorizing tho seizure 0 property and the appropriation ol moneys belong mg to thc Government, and directing Ria Govei nor? to levy taxes for the same purpose from th subject people. Tho further reading of the report was elis pensed with, excepting the conclusion, as follows In ace wdanoe with tho testimony herewith sub nutted and tho view of tho law heroin prcMO.it.ei the committee arc of opinion that Andrew John son Prcaidcut of the United States is guiltv o high crimes und misdemeanors requiring tin interposition of tho constitutional powers of thi House. In that upon tho final surrender of tfie rebel ar mies, and tho overthrow of thc rebel government tho said Audre.v Johnson, Proaident ot tho Unitec States, neglected to convene tho Congress of thi United States, that by its aid aud authority lega and constitutional measures might have' beet adopted for tho organization of loyal and cons:itu tional governments in thc States' then recently h rebellion. In that iu his prolcamation to tho people 0 North Carolina of the 29th day of May, I860, bc assumed that ho had authority' to decide whothei the government of North Carolina, ?md wbeihei any other government that might beset np there iu, was republican in form, aud that m his ohio of President it waa his Inly and within his powei to guarantee to said people a republican formol government, contrary to the constitution, whicl: provides that tho United States shall gua ran I ea tc every State in thia Union a republican tomi of gov? ernment, and contrary also to a deliberate opinion of tho supreme Court, which declared that Con? gress is invested exclusively with the power Lo di . cide whether tho government of a .State; is republi? can or not. In that he did thereafter roo: :,' inizi and treat ti plan of government set up in North Carolina un? der and in conformity io his own advice aud dir re tion, as republican in form, and ontiioly restore;! toits functions as a S.ate, notwithstanding Con? gress s tho branch of the government in which, by the constitution, such poner i.> exclusively vested, and notwithstanding Congress did refus? to recognize such g >vorninon( ?is a legitimate gov ernmeut, or a* a government republican in form. In that by u public proclamation aud otherwise he did, in the year 1805, invito, solicit am! convene in certain ether States then recently in reboUion conventions i,f p?.r.v>i> -. many ot whom were known traitors, who had been organizad in nn attoiupt to overthrow thc- Govcrtuncut of thc United States, and urged anti directed such c invention 1 to frame constitutions for such States. In that he thereupon assumed to atrapt, ratify and eoiitii i:. certain so-called constitutions, trained j by such illegal and treasonable assemblies of per I sons, which constitutions were never submitted tu I thc people of thc respective States, nor ratified ?ind continued hythe United States, thus usurping and exercising powers vested hythe Constitution in the Congress of fcfce United Slates exclusively. In that he pardoned large numbers of public and notorious traitors, with the design ot receiving their aid in such convcntioi s called by his advice and direction, for the purpose of organizing and setting mi such illegal Governments 111 thc Stales then recently iu rebellion, prior to the annual meeting of Congress, with the intent thus t.> con? strain Congress to accept, ratify and confirm such illegal and uncontitiiufe'oncl proceedings. In that ho did within and foi tba States recent!) in rebellion create- aud establish aa a civil office tin office of Provisional Governor, so called, an office unknown to the Constitution or laws of tho laud. in that he appointed to such office so created in said States, respectively men who wero public anil notorious traitors, hu ?vc,'l knowing thar they had beenougaged in open, persistcni iu.d formidable efforts for thc overthrow of the government of Ihe United States, and well knowing, also, that these men could 11 >t enter upon the duties ot said ohio without committing ?be crime of perjury, or in manifest violation ortho laws ot the country. In that he directed the Secretary of State lo promise payment of money to said persons so ille? gally appointed, as salary or compensation for ser? vices to be performed in saul ollice so illegally W - ated, contrary to tho provisions of the law of tho I nited States, approve d February 9, 18'is. entitled "Au act making appropriations for the support ot' the- ai my for the year . liding the tty ntictli day <>?' June. VtlA, ?md for a deficiency len- thc signal Ler vice for thc } - ar ending June 30, iso;}.' In that bo directed thc ?Secretan- of War moneys to said persons for services perfor said office so illegally created, whicb money so paid under his direction, without authc law, contrary to law, and in violation of the i tutiou of tho United States. In that be deliberately dispensed with an pended thc operation of a provision of a law United States, passed on the 2d day of July entitled "An Act to prescribe an oath ol' offic for other purposes.' In that ho appointed to offices created I lawn of the United States, persons who, i I well known to hun, bad Leon engaged iu t hellion, who wera guilty of the crime of tr and who could not, without committing the of perjury, or otherwise violating, criminal] said Act of July 2d, 1862, enter upon the i thereof. In that, without authority of law, and cor to law, he used and applied property taken the enemy in time of war for the payment ( expenses and the support of thc sa.d illegi unconstitutional Governments so set up : said States recently in rebellion, and for a liki pose, and in violation ot tito Constitution a his oath of office, be authorized and pormii lew ol taxeu upon the poop.e of said States, usurping and exercising a powor which I Constitution is vented exclusively in the Con of tue United States, all of which acts v, usurpation of power contrary to tho laws and stitution of the United States, and in violati his oath of omeo as President of thc U States. In that the said Andrew Johnson, Preside the United States, bas. in messages to Con; and otherwise, publicly denied substantial!' right of Congress to pr?vido for the pacifia government and restoration of said 8tates U Union; and in like manner he bas asserted hi elusive right to provide governments therefor to accept and proclaim the restoration of States to the Union, all of which is in derog of tho rightful authority ct t ongreas, and c lated to subvert the Govornment of the U States.

In that he has exercised the power of rem from and appointment to office for the purpot maintaining effectually his aforesaid usurpa and for the purpose of securing tho recognitio Congress of the State Governments so illegally unconstitutionally sot up in tho Statos recent! rebellion, such removals and appointments bo been attended and followed with great injury tc public service, and with enormous losses tc public revenue. In that in the exorcise of the pardoning po he issued an order for the restoration of one 1 dred and ninety-three men belonging to West ginia, who, upon the record of the War Dep ment, were marked as deserters from the arm time of war, and this upon the representation privato and interested parsons, and without vions investigation by any officer of the War partaient, and for the sole purpose of enab such persons to vote in an election then pent in said State, and with tho expectation that t would so voto as to support him in his aforoi unconstitutional procoedijga, bo then well kn ing that the men so restored, and by virtui such restoration, would be entitled to a large s of money from the Treasury of the United Sta In that, by his message to the House of Bei scntatives, on the 22d day of June, I860, ano othor public and private means he has attemp to provont the ratification of an amendment to Constitution of the United States, proposed to sovcral States bv the two houses of Congr? agrcoably to the Constitution of the United Stai althougn such proposed amendment prend among other thingB, for the validity of the pul debt of the United States, and rendered the p mont of any claim for slaves emancipated, 01 any debt incurred in aid of insurrection or rel lion against tue United States impossible eithoi thc Government of tho United States or by any the StateB recontly in rebellion, he well know that tl.c provisions inserted under and by his c tatton in the said illegal constitutions fur s States were wholly inadequate to protect tho lo people thereof, or the people of the United Stat against tho payment of claims on account of sla emancipated and of debts incurred by such Sta in aid of rebellion, thu- rendering it pr act i ba and easy for those in authority in tho afores illegal and unconstitutional governments thus up to tax and oppress the loyal people of si Statos for tho benofit ot those who have been i gaged in tho attempt to overthrow the Gove nient of tho United States. In that bo has made official and other put declarations and statements calculated and i signod to injure and impair the credit of tho U ted States, t J 01 courage persons recently engag in rebellion against its authority to obstruct a resist tho reorganization of tho rebel States, i called, upon a republican basis, and calculated a designed to deprive tho Congress of the Unit States of tho confidence ot tho people as well its patriosisni as in its constitutional right oxis', anil to act as the department of tho Govei mont which, under the Constitution, possesses c elusive legislative powor; and all this with tho i tent of rendering Congress incapable ot resistii either his said usurpations of powor, or of provi iug and enforcing measures necessary for tl pacification and restoration of the Union. And that in all this hu exercised the veto po1 cr, the power of removal and appointment, tl pardoning power, and other constitutional po' ors of bis office, for the purpose of dclayin hindering, obstructing, and preventing tl restoration of the Union by constitutional moan and for tho further purpose of alienating from tl government and laws of tbe United Stales, tho person? who had been ongaged in tho robollio and who, without aid, comfort and oujourag mont thus by him givon to them would have r sumed in gocd faith their allegtau.es to tho coi stitution ; and all with tho expectation of concili ting them to himself personally, that ho mig] thereby finally prevent the restoration ot tl Union upon the basis of ttjei laws pae-ied by Cot gross.

In that he directed an.l authorized thc sale c large quantities of railway rolling stock and othe railway property of the value of many millions c dollars, the property of the United States by pui chase and c instruction, to corporations and pat ties then known to him to be unable to pay thui dobts then matured and c\w, and this withou exacting from said corporations and parties an, securities whatevor.

Churchill. I General Grant's Testimony before the Ju ( dietary Committee. j HIS OPINIONS ON PARDON AND SECONSTBCCTIOX. General Grau t's testimony before the Judiciary Committee of tho House of Rei. resentatwes is published. Tho General says he was frequently in consultation with Mr. Johnson in relation to the reconstruction measures; and that ho interceded for General Lee, and recommended the pardon of Generals Longstreet, French and Geo. H. Stuart. On the subject of pardons General Grant express? ed his views as follows : PAROLE AND PARDON. General Lee's army waa tho first to surrender, and I believed that with such terms all the rebel armies would surrender, and that we would thus avoid bushwhacking and a continuation of tho war in a way that we would make vory little progress with, having no organized armias to moot. Q. You consider that tho like torms wore given by General Sherman to the armies which surren? dered to him ? A. Yes, air; and to all the armies that surrendered ofter that. Q. And you bela that so long as they kept thoir parole of honor, and obeyed tho laws, thev wero not subject to bc tried by courts ? A. That ia mv opinion. I will state boro that I am not quite certain whether I am being tiied, or who is being tried, by the queations aakod. Mr. Eldridge-I am not trying anybody. I ara inquiring as to the President's proclamation, and to tho views ho entertained. Did you givo these views to the President ? General Grant-I have stated those viet* s to the President frequently, and, as I have said, he dis? agreed with me in those views. He insisted on it that the leaders must be punished, and wanted to know when the time would come that those persona could bo tried. I told him wheu thev violated their parole. Q. Did you considor that that applied to Jeffer? son Davis? A. No, sir, hf did not take anv parole. Q. Ho did not surrender ? A. No, sir. It ap? plied to no person who was captured, only to thOBe who were paroled. Q. Did the President insist thai General Lee should be tried for treason? A. He contended for it. Q. And you claimed to him that the parole which General Lee had given would be violated in such a trial ? A. I did. I insisted on it that Gen? eral Leo would not have surrendered his army and given up all their arms if he supposed that after surrendering he was going to be tried for treason and hanged. I thought wo got a very good equivalent for the lives of a few leaders in petting all their arms and getting themselves un? der control, bound by their oatliB to obey the laws. That was thc consideration which I insisted upon we had received. Q. Did the President argue that question with you ? A. Thore waa not much argument about it. It was merely assertion. Q. After you had expressed your opinion about it did ho coincide with von ? A. No, sir, not then. He afterward got to agreeing with mc on that subject. I never claimed that the parole gave theso prisoners any political right whatever. 1 thjught that was ? matter e ntirely with Congress, over which 1 had no control; that, simply as Gene? ral-in-Chief, oommanding the army, I had a right to stipulato for tho aurronder on torms which pre? fecto 1 thoir lives. That is all I claimed. The pa? rolo gave them protection and exemption from punishment for all offences not in violation of the rules ot civilized warfare, so long as their parole was kopt. General Grant then gave evidence as to the CHANGE IN THE PRESIDENT'ti VIEWS. Q. You stato that you differed with the Presi? dent as to two points in the proclamation, but that his views afterwards changed. State when tho President's mind changed and underwent a chongo. A. It would bo very hard, 1 reckon, to fix it, but it was along in tho Summer of 18G5, not more than two or three months after tho North Carolina pro? clamation of May 29. By Mr. Woodbridge-When I said that the President's views underwent a change, I meant that while I was contending for the rights which those rebel paroled soldiers had, be was insisting on it that they should bo punished. By Mr. Eldridge-Any correspondence I over had with the President is official, and ."an be fur? nished ; I bad to muko frequent endorsements on tho subject of tho rights of those paroled prison? ers ; the only correspondence that I could have hod on tho subject of amnesty was when I recom? mended mon for pardon, as in tho case of French and others, of all of which I have kept copies and will furnish thom. I recollect the North Carolina proclamation, whioh WHS tho first one giving a State Govornmont ; was present when it was read, and it was in the direction I wanted ; I was anxious to seo u temporary government there, and I did not want to seo anarchy. Q. Did you give a ny opinion in favor of ttat proposition? A. I did not give any opinion against it ; I waa in favor of that or anything else which looked to civil government until Congress could meet and establish governments there; I did not want all chaos left; there and no form of civil govornmont whatever ; I was not in favor of anything or opposed to anything particularly ; I was simply in favor of having government there ; 1 did not pretend to give my judgment as to what it should bc ; I wis perfectly willing to leave it to the civil department ; I asked no person what 1 should do in mv duties : I was willing to tako al1 tho re? sponsibility, and did not want to give my views os to what the civil brauch of tho government should do. On tho question of reconstruction, thc General said., By Mr. Marshall.-Q. I understand yon to say that you were vory anxious, at tho close of the war, that civil governments should bo established in some form, and you so advised tho President? A I stated frequently in his presence, but I ad? vised no particular form of procooding. Q. Were you, present when this North Carolina proclamation was read in Cabinet ? A. I would not bc certain, but am of opiuiou that tho first limo I heard it read was in presence ot the Presi? dent and tho Secretary of War only. Q. Did you asaeutto that plan? A. I did not dissent from it; it was a civil matter, and although I was anxious to have something done, I did not intend to dictato n plan; I do not think I expressed any opinion about it at thc time; I looked upon it as simply a tomporary measure until Congress should moot and sottl? tho whole question, and ihat it did not moko much difference how it was done, so tbat there was u form cf government thore; I think 1 was present at tho timo by au in? vitation ol' e<thor tho President or tho Secretary of War; I uuppose I was free to exoiess my views; 1 Buppobo tho object was that I should express my views if I could auggctit any change; I do not think I was asked my views; I know that if I had been asked tho question, I would have as? sented to that or almost anything oise that would havo given stable government there ; in refer? ence to tito opinion I gove the President on the Amnestry Proclamation, I think I have testified E'rotty fully; I told the President I disagreed with im on the clauses excluding volunteer generals, and as to tho $20,000 clause, ( do not say anything as to the rest of it, wnethor it was too lenient or too stringent; can state what I thought about it, but not what I said about it; I know that imme? diately after tho close of tho rebellion thore waa a vcrv fine feeling manifested iu the South, and I thought we ought to take advantage of it as soon as possible, but sinco that thore has been an ovi dent change there. I may have expressed my Tie?! to the President, i do not recollect parti? cularly. I do not suppoao that there were any persona engaged iu that consultation who thought of what waa being done at that time as being lasting anv longer than until Congress would moot and e thor ratify that Of establish aonio other form of government. I know it never crossod my mind that what was hoing done waa anything more than temporary. I understood this to ho thu view of the President and of everybody cLso. I did not know of any diff?rence ol opinion on the aubject. He was very anxious to have Congreaa ratify his views. Mr. Lincoln, prior ti bia assassination, had inaugurated a policy intended to restore thoso Governments. 1 was present once helore his mur? der wnon a plan was read. The plan adopted by Ur. Johnson was substantially the plan which had been inaugurated by Mr. Lincoln as the basia for his future uctiou. i do not know that it was ver Oa'im the aaiiie. I think tho very paper which I heard read twice while Mr. Lincoln was President was thu ono which was carried right through. Q. What paper was that? A. The North Caro? lina proclamation. Affaire in Mexico. President Juarez has issued what his Secretary of War styles an Amnesty Proclamation. Gui po real punishment is commuted to imprisonment. Thjso who aorved as Generals and Colonels in the Imperial Army are to bc imprisoned four years. Lieutenant-Colonels and commandera ol' bat? talions or squadrons shall be for three years under the surveillance of tho authorities, and Captains, Lieutenant*, and Ensigns for two years. Forcignors who, as Geuerals, served thc so called Empire, ahall suffer the same punishment imposed upon natives of thc ?ame rank. All other foreigners, without distinction of grade, even the common soldie r, ahall be sent out of the Republic. Tho Ministers und under Secretaries who signed the d?cri e ol the 3d of October, lijuo, thu Regents and Presidenta ot thu Couueil of Ministers shall likewise be expelled the country, and tried should they ever return. This evidence of moderation on thc part of Juarez meets with thu warmest commendation of the Mexican people, who have grown weary of exe? cutions and blood. Just bet?re delivering up the remains ol' Maximilian, Tejada wrote a noto to the Austrian Minister, Buest, in which he said: In accordance with the dispositions of the Presi? dent, I have made known to Vice-Admiral de Tege thoil' that the mortal remains of the Archduke Fer dinatid Maximilian shall be at once delivered to his care, in orde. to convey them to Austria, and thus accomplish the object of Ins mission. FATAL Arr RAY IN CHESTER.-Wo learn that, on Sunday last, a soldier, who had been ordered tu camp, "drew a pistol and fired at the guard sent to arrest him; the ahot, however, did not take effect. The fire was returned by the guard-the ball p.ias t;.rough the soldier's body, lulling bun instantly, and mortally wounding a negro, who died Monday night.
