May 30, 1865
DAILY NATIONAL INTELLIGENCER, Washington, D.C., May 30, 1865 The front page features two notable Proclamations by President Johnson. The first grants amnesty to all persons who have directly or indirectly taken part in the rebellion, with the restoration of all rights of property except as to slaves, and except in cases where legal proceedings have been instituted for the confiscation of property.
The second is for reorganizing a constitutional government in North Carolina.
All of page 2 & a portion of page 3 are taken up with: "THE CONSPIRACY" "Trial Of The Accused" "Saturday's Proceedings Continued" with a great wealth of verbatim testimony.
Great to have this content in a newspaper from the nation's capital.
Four pages, large folio size, minor tears at the margins and wear at the margin. Folder size noted is for the issue folded in half.
