On that ground, the rule nisi is recalled, and relator’s demand dismissed.</p> <p>Although the pardon was full and free, and had the effect of reinstating the one pardoned to all his civil and political rights, he cannot be reinstated to the membership of a body which had passed out of existence.</p> <p>(Syllabus by the Court.)</p>
