Telegram From Warren Jordan. Nashville, February 20, 1864. HON. W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State, Washington, D.C.: In county and State elections, must citizens of Tennessee take the oath prescribed by Governor Johnson, or will the President's oath of amnesty entitle them to vote? I have been appointed to hold the March election in Cheatham County, and wish to act understandingly. WARREN JORDAN. WASHINGTON, February 20, 1864. WARREN JORDAN, NASHVILLE: In county elections you had better stand by Governor Johnson's plan; otherwise you will have conflict and confusion. I have seen his plan. A. LINCOLN.
