I drop you a few iiues upon a -natter of gen eral interest to our. citizens, with the hope that they may ease the oainds of those who are anx ious on the subject. It has been definitely settled in the case of CaL Short, ot Louisiana, that, the president's pardon under the amnesty proclamation of May 29th, 1865, carries with it a restoration of all proper ty, except slaves, even where proceedings have been commenced an the United, States courts for the confiscation, of. nroncrt v but in the latter i v. . i -1 - - j - ' i . ;- . case the party must pay the costs of court. - . r J . 1 r. . ,, , ... Thtfa is nnw nn lnnrfti nnti tfnihi annnf this matter. The Fre;idmen's Bureau must give up the property of -persons not excluded from the benefits of the proelam . tion at once, and must also eive up the property of those excluded as soon' as they are pardoned. This construction of the proclamation has been contended for all the time, but- was no: decided to be correct un:il yesterday," when the president gave Col. Short a etter to this effect." F will send, or bring you a copy of the papers in CoU Short's case. The president gain's the friendship of every oval southern man who meets him, by his rank manner and hi3 evideut desire to restore the whole country to a prosperous aua peace- ul basis I have met ;nmuy gentlemen here from different states of the - late " so-called. and there is no difference of sentiment among them in regard 'to the president. He is bound to win hosts of friends in every section of the country. Washington is quite dull at present, except about" the treasury buildings, where there is always a crowd of, anxious individuals in pur suit of a paper representative of 14 the root of all evif.'V The claim" business is very much mis understood in Wilmington and the south gener ally. I will endeavor to correct the prevailing errors when I return, which will be about the 25th. Heller the magician is here temporarily.

Here the diff-rence begins. If on'e'is issued at Leavenworth, in Kansas, aud only ex- cuiigeaoie tuere, it cannot ve worth as much to the holder here as if it l ad been issued in this city and was exchangeable on the next block. To ask the Leavenworth Link to rro- viue a reucenung agencv at this financial centre, in order to mnke his note equal here io that of the Fi st iNat onai B .nk of Nw York, is not to throw doubts on the national credit " or to intimate that the Leavenworth bank is a swindle." If the Kansas bank were transferred to New York, and the citv bink removed to Kansas, the positions would, be reversed witttout reterenca to heir individual char.tctr.' It is the distance and not the se curity which chiefly taken in account. It is not that the Jiew York holder doubts the I 186Q, and the cost of obtaining it is so much uiswiuid un iue noie "i me aisuni oanx.
