Mr. Thadtlens Stevens ronfiscntion
Policy of the Evening Telegraph.
Somb dajs since we published a letter from
Hon. Thaddeus Stevens in favor of confisca
tion. This sweeping measure was therein
advocated beeause of a desire to see the farm
ers of "Bedford, Franklin, Fulton, Cumber
land, and York counties" reimbursed for losses
sustained during the invasion of 18(J3. It
was not on the ground of national policy, or
of necessity, nor yet for the purpose of pun
- isbment or prevention that this step was sup
ported by Mr. Stevens, it was to repay
local loss, occasioned by the vicissitudes of
war. We then said.
-"If there Is no bolter ground for confiscation
thnn to repay too cowardly, semi-disloyal
farmers of tbo counties mimed, who ch-tnred
our soldiers for a cup of milk, and fled from or
tampered with the Rebels, we do not favor coo.
fiscal Ion. We hive no sympathy to waste on
such lowers. The 8:ate him already reimbursed
all the deserving, and msny who were not. de
serving. It m ly be Unit confiscation will be
necessary hs a punishment for continued con
tumacy. It may be that U will be n eded to yet
further humble the spirits of the late Rebels.
But It can never bo that It will be enforced lo
repay the Pennsylvania fmmers for losses
eullerod years nyo, and already once paid by the
btate.V
To these sentiments the Gottysburg Star
and Sentinel, edited by Hon. lid ward
Mcrherson, takes exception, and in an article
, over a column long attacks our policy and
motives. We do not intend to reply to that
portion of the editorial which refers to our
tint It ,3 . r, , II .
uippaucjr auu giirooucaa, xiur iu uur
'iplace beneath, coutempt," nor yet our
"foul slander." Those of our readers who
riul nnr urticlfl can 1ndr for i.lmmnl vna
whether it was by word or inference deficient
in courtesy to any one. In our views, how
ever, we probably did reflect on the loyalty
of the farmers of the southern counties and
' the justice of their claims. In doing so we
-were not guilty oi passionate proscription.
lWe expressed what was and is our deliberate
opinion, and the artiole of our Gettysburg
contemporary has not caused us to waver
in our sentiments. Our neighbor says:
"The editor of Thk Evening Tklhgraph, by
his own showing, is not opposed, in principle, to
- confiscation; but declares he will be for It If it
be necessary as a punishment, or to humble the
spirit of the late Rebels. Mr. Stevens is for It,
as bis letter shows, because the law and prac
tice of nations justify It. and because Justice to
Innocent and plundered citizens or the United
States requires It. There Is, theu this differ
ence, In this respect, between the position of
the editor of Tub Kvknino TnLF.anA.rit and
Mr. Stevens. The loiruer makes his approval of
the policy dependent upon his desire to punish
tbo Rebels; Mr. Htevens, upon the inherent jus
i -ii . e 1 1 i . .
tice oi tne ining useu, upon tue no nor in prac
tice of nations, and the outraged 'Rio lira' of
citizens. Which is the nobler view ?"
Trne, we are In favor of confiscation, on
principle, under certain contingencies; but
these contingencies do not include local greed.
We base our advooacy of such a step on a
possible necessity, on a chance that national
safety and security in the future may need
such a step. But on no other grounds than
'the positive demands of expediency do we
" feel willing to lend it our assent. The right of
private property is one of the most sacred
known to men, and to divest a citizen of it in
order that another not specially injured by
him may be gratified, is not to be tolerated.
Mr. Stevens and the Gettysburg Star
favor it because of "the law and
praotioe of nations." Now, this argu
ment will not hold good a moment. We
are not dealing with nations not even belli
gerents. No such recognition was ever
vouchsafed to the "Confederate" States.
We view the Rebellion as an organization of
individuals; the invasion was an invasion of
individuals organized against the Government.
The losses sustained were inflicted by marau
ders, and for all such injuries the law provides
A claim not against the General Government,
but against the States. If a mob destroys our
office, do we sue in Washington f Clearly not.
Our only chance of recompense is from Penn
sylvania. We therefore oppose the assump
tion by the General Government of claims
Which cannot legally be brought against it.
Again, the Star and Sentinel states that our
remarks on the farmers
"Are intended to convey the impres
sion that the bulk of the citizens of the
border oounties were unfaithful to the
Government and unkind to its soldiers, and
are therefore undeservingof such consideration.
The war has produoed no fouler slander.
Doubtless, there were here disloyal mou during
the war. Meat of them got their inspiration
from disloyal Fluladelphians whom we could
readily name. It may be that, under this
stimulus, in some cases, greed got the better
of patriotism. But we utterly deny the truth
of the general statement of Tub Evening Tele
oeaph. These counties responded promptly
to every call of the country for troops, or for
supplies, and contributed of their substance
as fully for the support of the Government in
very good work as any portion of this or any
other State. We make the statement broadly;
and we mean it precisely as it stands."
Very well. We will join issue, and look at
the facts. We boldly assert that, as a rule,
the citizens of the border counties of our State
were disloyal; that they did not sympathize
With the war; that they opposed the Govern
ment by every means in their power, aud
wished the success of the South. In 18G2
the election immediately preosding the inva
sion, the counties named by Mr. Stevens gase
nearly 10,000 majority for the ultra peaoe-at-any-prioe
wing of the Democratic party.
These loyal men sent Mr. A. J. Gloss
brener to Congress as the exponent of their
views, and he' well expressed them by
voting against any bill fur men or money
to carry on the war. Mr. Hughes, on
HIE DAILY
tho outbreak of the strnggln, expressed this
sentiment when he said that, as the "line of
division has to be drawn, the people of South
ern Pennsylvania want it to fall north of our
State." Mr. Glossbrermer, for his able and
truthful representation of the people of the
border counties, was honored by a roleotion.
We ask the Star and Sentinel how it can ex
plain this fact? Will it also show us how tho
quotas of these counties were raised, and how
often tho draft was necessarily resorted to?
Will our contemporary deny that the State
was Faved by regiments not raised in the bor
der counties f 1 he Star says :
"All was alarm and activity and labor
Meanwhile, the armless-net on those hills, and
I l,e Rebels. Ktvlnif way, h miilit refuse" behind
I he Potomac. Then l'nllud -Iphlu rented from
lis liihois. It Whs sare; and Us salvation was
urounht out here by b ave ineo."
heie did tho "brave men" come from ?
Not from their neighborhood, but fcoin other
SU.tes and our own city. The farmers were
all neutral, and professed to sympathize with
the Rebels. The battlo was indeed fought
there and then not by those who now -claim
recompense, but by those who did what the
citizens of the border counties were too fear
ful or to untrue to do; and thus our city was
saved. Tho more we look at their claims, the
n ore are we confirmed in our expressed opi
nion. It may be that a few good men will be
1 sers by the refusal, but as there can bo no
discrimination, we cannot see how we can
separate the wheat from the chaff. They do
not demand a cent on the claim Of loyalty, or
bravery, or liberality, and with our consent
not a dollar shall they have. And in urging
this we speak in no 6pirit of " passionate pros
cription." . i
In conclusion, the Star and Sentinel calls on
us to "recall our unjust criticism on the first
statesman of this generation, to whose enlight
ened sagacity and indomitable purpose and
unflinching firmness the nation is infinitely
indebted." We have nothing to recall. We
made no "unjust criticism." For Mr. Stevens
we have ever had the highest respect. In the
article complained of, we said that "Mr. Ste
vens is a statesman of great force of character
and undoubted patriotism." We give him all
the praise our contemporary metes out. He
is able, patriotic, and honest; yet we do not
on this account surrender our privilege "of
individual opinion to his dictation. With all
his great powers, we think Mr. Stoveusis seek
ing to lead the Republican party into a posi
tion where it does not desigu to go. It is not
in favor of confiscation, nor does it sympa
thize with that spirit of bitter hatred of the
South which Mr. Stevens has ever evinced. If
bis advice was to be followed, the party would
be ruined. We require policy, not headlong
ferocity. And it is in order to secure our
power, and iu order that we may do good to
all, that, while granting all the virtues attri
buted to the venerable statesman, we deem
his course of conduct inexpedient, aud if pur
sued will end in the reinstatement of the De
mocracy in power.
Congress and the Constitution.
Tub New York Times professes to believe the
entire work of Congress in regard to recon
struction to have been extra-constitutional.
It asks, where in the Constitution does any
body "find authority for Congress to pass a
law excluding certain States from representa
tion until they pass laws or adopt constitu
tions such as Congress may prescribe; or to
Subject the civil functionaries of a State to the
paramount authority of a military commander;
or to decree universal negro suffrage in the
Southern States as the condition of restora
tion ? We can find no such authority, and
never could; nor have we ever been fortunate
enough to find anyone who could point it out."
Allow a man to manufacture his own
premises, and he may prove almost anything.
And so, allow the Times by the forms of its
questions to put into the mouths of its oppo
nents concessions which they do not make,
and it presents quite a formidable front. In
the sense in which the Times uses the word
"State," we deny that the late Rebel com
munities constitute States, and, therefore, also
that they are entitled to "representation," or
have any "civic functionaries" to be subjected
to the "paramount authority of a military
commander." We believe the action of Con
gresB in reconstruction to have been entirely
constitutional, and neither to have been be
yond the Constitution nor opposed to it. Such
we have no doubt is the conviction of the great
mass of Republicans whose minds are not
burdened by the metaphysical refinements and
complications which never cease to affect the
editor of the Times. The overthrow of the
Rebellion having left the former States
of the South which participated in
it without any constitutional frame
work of civil government, reconstruc
tion became a necessity, and was made spe
cially obligatory by the Constitution itself,
where it provides that the United States shall
guarantee to each State a republican form of
government. And as Congress is the legisla.
tive branch of the Government, it, and it aloue,
was competent to inaugurate the work of reor
ganization. All that the President did, or at
tempted to do, was unconstitutional aud
usurpatory, and at best could only be regarded
as provisional or temporary in its character.
The organizations which he effected possess no
sanctity, no legality, and ts speak of them as
"States," or as entitled to representation, is
gressly to err.
As to "decreeing universal negro suffrage,
Congress had no rightful choice in the matter.
It could know no distinction of color among
the citizens of the United States. It would
have had just as good a right to exclude all
the whitea as it would to have excluded all the
blacks. Granting that it had the right to
reconstruct a all, it was bound to do so
on the principles of juBtice and equality.
In our view, therefore, in this whole contost
, Congress has been guided strictly by the letter
EVENING TELEGRAPH PHILADELPHIA, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1807.
as well as by the spirit of the Constitution.
In its successful resistance of Executive
vsurpation, it has rescued the Constitution
horn the most formidable assault made upon
Jlsinae the foundation of the Goveriment. '
Why Not Rbpoet? The Committee on Law,
of Common Council, at their meeting a few
days since, agreed to report adversely to the
legality of the election of Frederiok A. Van
Cleve to the position of Assistant City Soli
citor. We would like to know why that
report was not presented on Thursday. Can it
be that the Chairman, out of personal sym
pathy for Van Cleve, has neglected to do his
duty? We hope, for his good name, that he
has not. One who abets a wrong-doer is an
accessory, and to bo considered as In league
and "in the same boat." In a legal poiut of
view, we are convinced that Mr. Van Cleve
has no right whatever to his ill-gotten post.
As he has not sufficient self-respoct to resign,
he must be forcibly ejected. We have a right
to demand a report from the Committee on
Law, and unless it is presented at the nex
meeting we shall deem the Committee dere
lict, and seek the reason for the unnecessary
delay. Having once adopted a report, the
chairman has no option in its presentation or
withdrawal.
Ciiors at tub South, The prospects for the
cotton crop in Georgia are said to be very
fine, and the product is estimated as high as
500,000 bales. Grain crops are also said to be
veiy promising. A similar state of facts is
reported in Alabama, and, indeed, throughout
the entire South. The Mobile Tribune says:
"We have looked at papers from all parts of
the South, and discover that everywhere, with
very few exceptions, the crops are full of pro
mise, more especially of wheat and corn
There is no very important complaint of the
condition of cotton, and that is something of
value, for within twenty years we have not
heard of the prospect of a good cotton crop."
