JLXNAL8 OF THE WAR. '

EXCIIANtlE OF PRISONERS.

Robert Ould, Confederate agent dur
ing tho war for the exchange of pi-is-oners,and
it is a subject that with which
he may be presumed to be most famil
iar, ilo argues uy tacts and conclu
sions toprovo that the Federal author
ities were equally responsible with the
Confederates tor the sufferings of Un
ion soldiers in the Southorn prisons.
In tho course of bis refutation of some
of the charges brought against tho
Confederates, he says :
'It would bo a curious matter to
trace tho history of the notices of ex
change which each sido issued during
tho progress of tho war. I wish I had
the spaco to do so. 1 can only notice
one calumny of many in this connec
tion. Gen. Hitchcock charges that I
made a declaration of exchange with
view to the coming battles of Chicks-
mauga and Chattanooga, and that
many of the prisoners parolod by Gen.
Grant and Gen. Banks, at Vicksburg
and Port Hudson, participated In said
battles without having been duly ex
changed. ' It would' be difficult to
crowd moro untruths in one sontonce.
Tho declaration of exchange to which
Gen. Hitchcock refers was fairly, hon
estly and properly mado. The cartel,
by its express terms, gave mo authori
ty to make It. I had in my possession
at the timo moro valid paroles of Fed
eral officers and men than wore an
equivalent for the exchange which I
then declared. Moreover, between
that, declaration of exchange and the
preceding one, I had delivered at City
Point, then the agreed point of delivery,
some ten or twelvo thousand Federal
prisoners, lhe declaration was not
only expressly autborixed by the car.
tel, but was in the strictest accordance
with tho common practice of tho Fed
cral agent of exchange Denido not
one of the officers or men declared to
ho exchanged at that time was in tho
battlosto which Gon. Hitchcock refers j
though if they bad been, they would
have been there rightfully. -It
has been frequently stated as an
excuse for tho refusal of the Federal
authorities to deliver all prisoners of
war held by them, that if it bad been
done when thoy bad tho surplus, tho
excess would have been put in the
field by tho Confederates. This in
another of General Hitchcock's impu
tations.. Nothing could be more un
true, either as to intention or fact.
There was no moro reason for such a
stigma than there was for a similar
charge against the United States when
the excess of prisoners was held by
tho Confederates. Yet the fear that
such a courso might be pursuod did
not rostroin tbo Confederate authori
ties from delivering all prisoners in
their bands when thoy held an excess;
and that too, after thoy were informed
of General Schonck's gon oral order.
It was tbo practice of my office to
make a careful computation of paroles
and deliveries, and on that basis to de
clare exchanges. In no one instance
from tho beginning of the war to its
close was any declaration of exchange
mado which was not just in every
particular, and fully warranted by tho
facts. In no ono case did I ever dis
charge Confederates from tbeir parolo
nntil I had offored valid equivalents to
the United Slates.
Aftor deliveries were broken off, 1
did not abandon tho hope that thoro
would be a return to tho main features
of tho cartol. From that timo 1 kopt
the offer open that officers and men
should be released, tho excess on ono
side or tbo other to be on parole, and
that the validity of all paroles should
be determined by the general orders
ot the United Slates war department,
according to dates. The Confederate
government stood ready and indeed
anxious at all times to accept these
terms. Whonever 1 pressed thorn
upon the Federal agents, and that was
vory frequently, I was mot with hom
ilies on Mr. Davis' message and my
unjustifiable (so-called) declarations ol
exchange
- At lengtn i was forced Into tbe con
viction 'that the porsons who had the
control of the matter did not dosiro
exchanges or mutual deliveries of pris
oners on any terms that they be-
uoveu mat sucti deliveries wore unwise
in a military point of view that
tbey had oomo to tbo conclusion that
a soldier was more valuable to tho
Confederacy than he was to tbo United
States. I do not mean by that to say
that thoy or anybody else thought
that a Conlederato soldier was better
or braver than, a Union soldior, but
simply that in the then condition of
affairs the United States could bottor
afford the absence of a soldior from
tbe field than tbe Confederacy. Per
haps also some ot theso porsons thought
it would not be an unwise military cx
pedient to quarter fifty thousand men
upon States drifting into actual want.
Perhaps, too, some of them thought
that tho story, real or exaggerated, of
the sufferings of prisoners would"Are
lbs Northorn heart.1' Bo all, this as
it may, 1 suppose no ono is prepared
to challenge tbe suspension of the car
tel as an unwise military expedient in
a Federal point ot view. In other
aspects of tbo caso it was not quito so
clever.
QtH. SUTLER'S TISTIMONT.
In another part of his article Mr.
Ould quotes from a speech made by
Gon. Butlor, in April, 1861, to provo
that Grant and Stanton wore largely
responsible lor failure of prompt ex
change. Gen. Butler said : "The whole
subject was referred by tbo Secretary
of AYar to the Lieutenant Gonoral
comnanding, who telegraphed me on
the 14th of April, 18C4, in aubstance :
'Break off all negotiations on tho sub
ject ot exchange till further orders.1
And, therefore, all negotiations were
broken off, save that a special ox
change of sick and wounded on cither
sido went on. On the 20th ot April
roeeived another telegram of Gonoral
Grant ordering 'not another man to bo
given to the rebels.' To that I an
swered on tbe same day : 'Lieutenant
General Grant's Instructions shall be
implicitly obeyed. I assume that you
do not mean to stop the special ex-
change of tbo sick and wounded now.
going on.' To this I rceivcd a reply
in substanco : 'Ite not git tlie nbelt a
tingle able botlial mutt.' From that hour,
so lung as 1 remained in the depart
ment, exchanges of prisoners stopped
under thut order, because 1 could not
give tbo rebels any of thoir able bodied
soldiers in exchange By sending tbo
sick and wounded foi wnrd, however,
some twelvo thousand of our suffering

wrote General Hitchcock, tho commis
sioner, at Wellington, thut tbo rebels
were ready to exchange, man for man,
all tho prisoners held by thcin, us I
had proposed in December.
STANTONS MAl.HI.NITVV
Mr. Ould, like nourly every oilier
writor of either sido in tho Times' nn
nals, finds occasion to denounco the
conduct of Rocrolury Slunlon, who,
though shielded by tbo immunity
which attnebos to the dead, is ultvays
revealed in tho light of history as a
marplot, a demagogue, and a persecu
tor of all against whom ho chorisbed
a private grudgo. Mr. Ould snys of
him :
Ou tho occupation of Richmond I
followed General Leo's army to Appo
matox Court House, and was there at
tho surrender. 1 oll'erud my parole to
General Grant, who generously de
clined to subject me even to a parolo,
saying that ho did not consider an of
ficer of tho exchnngo bureau subject to
capture He gave mo a passport and
escort to Richmond, when ho learned
it was my purpoBo to return to that
place Upon my rotiirn to Richmond
1 set about closing up the affuirs of tho
exchnngo bureau, knowing that tho
end had come. At tbo expiration of
about ton days, whilo thus engaged, I
was arreBted by order of Mr. Secretary
Stanton and thrown into prison. II ia
ordor was special that I should be put
in closo confinement. Seven years be
fore that I had a professional collision
with Mr. Stanton in tho trial of Daniel
E. Sickles, for tho murder of Philip
Barton Koy. I was then United States
District Attorney for the District of
Columbia, and ho was ono of tiio de
fendant's counsel. 1 had occasion dur
ing tbe courso of the trial, alter gross
and repoatod provocation, to denounco
his conduct and to charge that he had
been imported into the caso to play
the part of a bully and a bruiser. Ilo
bad not forgotten this occurrence even
after tbe lapse of so many years, and
took bis revenge in tbo manner indi
cated. Of tho hundreds of thousands
engaged in tbo war on tho Confederate
side, 1 was tho only one who held an
office by tho express consent of the
United States. Tbo cartel provided
that each sido should appoint un agent
of exebango. I was not only thrown
into prisou but was indicted for treason
in Underwood's Court treason in fill
ing an office to which tho United
States had assented. All my official
papers, including those delivered to
mo by the Fedoral agents of exchange,
woro seized and Inkcn away. I did
savo my lottor book alone, which 1
prize vory highly, if for no othor pur
pose than to show tbo malignant false
hoods of certain publications, sumo of
them official, which purport to givo
tbo correspondence of my office. 1 in
cludo in Ibis list Houso document No.
32, second session, thirty cigth Con
gress, which protend tho correspon
donco of tho agents of exchange on
both sides, but which does not rise
oven to tho dignity of a travesty. My
houso was alono searched and my pri-
vato papers taken. A military com
mission sat on me to find out whether
any charges could bo brought against
mo, or sustained, if brought. After
two weeks' incubation, during which
they examined witnesses against mo
whilo I was not allowed to bo present,
tho commission roportcd that tbey
could find nothing against mo, but
much to my credit j and thereupon,
after two months' confinement I wns
released.
A CONCLUSION OP Till WHOLE MATTKR.
It gives mo no pleasure, to write
these things ; nor do I seek to bring
myself unduly forward in this matter.
1 wish tho cup could pass from mo.
Uu( tho official position I occupied dur
ing tho war seems to require that I
should slop to tho front to vindicalo
the truth of history, when false state
ments, official and unofficial, are so
rife. It is not (lone in tho Interest of
bato, nor to revive sectional contro
versy, nor to inflame tho now subsid
ing passions of war. Least of all do
1 desire to put any stigma upon the
pcoplo of the North. The sins which
were committed were those of individ
uals, and thoy wcro few in number. 1
believe a truo understanding of tho
fuels in connection with the exchnngo
of prisoners and their treatment, in
stead of increasing any feeling ofhato
between tbo North and South, would
tend to allay it. It would then ho
seen that tho sections were to bo
blamed that tho people on both sitlcs
woro not justly amcnablo to reproach-
that honor, integrity, and Christian
civilization reigned North and South,
and that our civil war, though neces
sarily harsh and cruel in its general
aspect, was illustrated by high and
shining examples of moderation, kind
ness, good fuilb, generosity, and knight
courtesy. Base IIattkr. Tho Scraulon Timet
says: "Tbo court at Wilkcsbarre,
Judgo Hauling on tbo bench, took oc
casion to speak disapprovingly of tho
practice of forming stock associations
and employing at a liberal sulury, ex
perts to play baso ball. Judgo Hard
ing cited instances in illustration of
bis statement, that to bocomoasalariod

career that would ovontually lead, In
in many cases, to a coll in the poniton
liary. Tho Judgo thought tho noxt
thing In order would be the forming of
a stock company to get into the peni
tentiary." The Republican organs still insist
that Mr. Tildcn is going to contest
Hayes' titlo to tho Presidency. They
feel a good deal like the Irishman with
tho stolen pig.
Tho Philadelphia Evening Telegraph
scents a fin Hanoverian flavor in the
snobbish pow wow which the British
royal family is making over Grant's
visit.
THE INSURANCE ROBBERY.
According to tho last annual report
of Insurance Commissioner Forstor,
of this State, it soems as though that
business was really becoming an em
bargo on trade, instead of a support,
as many suppose. Tho Fire, Marine
and Inland Insurance Companiet ol this
Slate collected luslyear, from the people
nine milliontwobuudrod and sixty-three
thousand one hoiK'. :d and niratv-aev.

millions eight hundred and soventy
cight thousand one hundred and cigh-ty-five
dollars (82,878,185,) of which
they account for as expenses. It will
be observed by this statement thut the
insurance men charge tho peoplo just
about filly-six per cent for tho money
that tho agents pay back to them.

However, if the people are willing

THE ENCROACHMENTS OF
THE FEDERAL GOVERN
MENT. Congressman J. Randolph Tucker,
of Virginia, in his oration at the an
nual commencement of tbe Law De
partment of tho University ot Mary
land in Baltimore on tbo 1st instant,
among other things said of cur federal
system of Government:
It is sadly truo that, despite all tho
cautiousness of our fulhers, the federal
system has luilcd to realize all tho
hopes of its founders. Tbe spirit of
centralism has seduced men at the mad
bidding of fanatical sentiment to ex
tend tiio domain of fedoral power to
tho detriment of tho reserved rights
of the Slates. And this brought about
results upon which the true friend of
liberty must look with despondency
almost akin to despair. You have seen
in this city tho venerable Chief Justice,
wearing tbo crmino of tho highest
court in tbo lund, defied by the mili
tary when ho throw about tho perrons
of your citizens tiio sacrod writ of
habeas corpus. Y ou havo seen your
Slate Legislature invaded, its members
imprisoned, and its organisation broken
up. You have scon the governments
of eleven Slates superseded and mill
tary governments established over
them by uuthority of Congress. You
have soon the writ of habeas corpus
suspended by order of the President
in time of civil war, and the same
thing done by Congress in time of
peace. You havo seen the question of
Stute government deteiminod by the
President, und tho whnlo Stnto power
placed at tho mercy ol histleoreo. You
havo soon tho soldiers standing at the
doors of tho Capitol as tho arbiters of
their legislative organization, and tbe
civil subordinate to the military power,
and thoso things dono in tho tooth of
a constitutional prohibition and limila
tion, and in violation of tho sacred
constitutional principles of British
Amorican liberty. But, gentlemen, 1
havo not despaired.
1 will not despair of this Republic

created the Union by their concurrent
oompact, and they can save It by their
concurrent action. If we are faithful
to tbo institutions of our freedom, If
tho legal mind will stand true to tbe
transmitted traditions of our anciont
liberties during theso ten conturios, if
noccssary to the fundamental prlnci

permanent part of our organic law,
and steering wisely botwecn tho na
tional centralism of powor on the one
hand, and any tendency of the Btatos
to deny needful authority to tho Fed

check ' corruption by limiting power,
proront decay by vitalizing tho organic
principle of the Constitution, and pur
ify the Administration hy controlling
patronage. Wo will savo tho Republio,
and, what is better, will jlrengthon It
and porpoluato our liberties. But if
centralism shall eat out tho powor of

factors in the Government, then tho
days of tho Republic will bo numbered

BUTLER AND M' YEA GH.
Tho editor of the Boston rost, in al
luding to the affair botwecn thoso two
Radical leaders,-says:
"As Mr. Wayne McVeagh distinctly
charges Gen. Butler with publishing
wbut 'you (Butler) well know to be
a base and cowardly falsehood,' it is
now in order to speculato whotber tho
weapons will bo broadswords, navy
revolvers, or rifles, and how soon tho
meeting is to come off. It is a sud
case ; but wo do not see how, with a
proper regard for publio morals, such
languago can be allowed to pass into
history unless the obituary of ono or
tho other of theso gentlemen is append
ed to it. A n apology from Gen. Butler
might be accepted, in viow of the recent
meeting of tho Peace Society and tho
growing objections to the duello; but
it will have lo be a very abject apology.
Otherwise, according to the 'codo'
which Mr. Bennett has revivod, Gun.
Butler might bo 'horsewhipped on
sight' some fino day. Mr. McVeagh
is unnecessarily vicious in bis state
ment that 'it is only a military com
mandant in Now Orleans in timo of
war who can safely appropriate any
considerable quantity of the property
ol others to his own use.' If this refers
to Butler, ho can probably defend him
sell trom the insinuation, but we
wish to call attention to the fact' that
Mr. McVeugh's sarcasm runs away
with tho truth. In that very Stale of
Louisiana, in season of profound peace,
tho property ol others has boon appro
priated for years to the nso of tho Re
publican officials ; and in tbe twin State
of S. Carolina, scores of millions have
beon actually stolen, as Chamberlain
himself can tell. No, Mr. McVeagh;
the plunder of the war is not a titbo of
what your party has mado away with
since peace canto."
A MOON STIWCK SUICIDE.
The Baltimore American of tbo 3d
says : "Conrad Weber, a young man
of German parentage, not very long
married, was a soldior in tho Into war,
and while in active service developed
a fondness for sleeping in moonlight,
which according to the statement ot a
responsible pbysicisn and, indeed, it
is sanctioned by high scientific author
ity had an effect on his mind, Irom
which ho never recovered. Ever since
tbe war,' from tho 1st lo the 4th of
every month, always at night, he has
had fits of deep melancholy, and habit
ually sal up, looking out of tho win
dow into the vastness of the sky. The
moon and its changes had a sjiccial
fascination lor him, and when even in
his usual spirits "tho man in tbe moon"
was a favorite little joke of bis, which
ho left off on overy one he met. At
eleven o'clock yesterday morning Mrs.
Weber noticed that her husband bad
ono of tho melancholy humors that
usually camo over him at night about
tho first of every month. This was the
first time, howovor, she bad over soon
him troubled in the day time ; yet she
did not regard tho matter seriously.
Sbo left him seated In tbe second story
front room, and on returning to call
him to dinner at a littlo before one
o clock in Ine ntternoon lound mm
sitting on a chair cold and dead, with
his bead leaning listlessly against the
wall. Ilo had twisted several pieces
of blue ribbon into a sort of cord, made
a noose round his neck, and fastened
the other end of the ribbon rope to a
hook in the wall used for holding a
picture He bad drawn up Ins lower
limbs so as to throw the full weight of
his body upon the noose. When found
bis faco and hands woro purple from
strangulation, Dr. Olo was called und
tho jury rendered a vordict of suicide.
Ho was an eminently sober man.

Transportation or Liva Stock.
The cruelty to animals in transit on
cars has claimed the attention of differ
ent Humane Societies in the Unitod
States, as in different kingdoms of Eu
rope, particularly in England. Con
gress and tbo Legislatures of different
States havo enacted laws Intended to
prevent such cruelty, and the sulo of
tbo diseased meat caused from the
oppression and abuso to animals while
in transit on tho cars. Tho humane,
refined men controlling tho Pennsyl.
vania Central Railroad determined to
remedy tbo cause of complaints, and
with that end in view havo had a num
ber of new cars constructed in which
live stock can be fed and watered, while
in transit, as often as desired. Some
wore loaded in East Liberty recently
and shipped for tbe East., The Hu
mane Societies, the public at largo, and
particularly meat consumers, will re
joice to learn that the officials of this
road have taken such action on this
most vital subject. It is thought thut
if that enterprising and. indefatigable
company underlnko tho reformation
other railroad companies will follow.
If the present new cars do not meet
the dosircd object thoy will continue
to amond and improve until they have
tho cars satisfactory. Pittsburgh Pott,
Tho PilUburg Ist "wants more
greenbacks and loss nonsense." If we
remombor correctly, tbe FoM editor
wanted "moro greenbacks" in tho Erio
platform, but the convention put in
"nonsense.
Col. Good, tho missing ex-Mayor of
Allentown writes a letter from Wy
oming Territory, in which he states
that he will ho home this woek.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean concludes
that tho Unitod States will do well lo
lot Mexico alone and mind their own
business. Amen!
"Have thoy policy f" asks the
Now York Timet ol lha Democrats.
Oh, yes ; honesty and that's tbe beat
policy,
Dr. Mary Walker says it isn't true
that she proposed to Ham Tilden or
that he ever mentioned matrimony to
her.

i4.Y AMERICAN FLUNKY.
It Is not often the Amorican nation
is disgraced by having a minister at a
foreign court who plays tbo fluuky.
But il all ia true that's telegraphed, it
has one in tho person ol ono Plerro
pont, minister to the Court of St.
James. Not long since this snob se
cured from tho Pierreponts of England,
a tilled family, and from which the
American branch srnr tbl rlrhl to
of bis (tho Minister's) carriage, and
since the Amorican representative has
fancied himself almost ono of thotitlod
nobility. An evidence of how the lei-
low's bead has boen turned is given in
a Into incident. One of our dailies bos
the following: "The Americans in
London aro considerably exorcised in
their minds ovor the singular way in
which tho American minister treats his
fellow citizons resident hi tliat metrop
olis. On a recent occasion Mrs. B.
S , a young latly of good family in
New Y'ork city married a gentleman
connected with one ol the largest Iron
and steel bouses in the world, and now
established in London, took the harm
less liberty of inviting tbe Minister
and his wife, both of whom she had
known in this country, to dinner.
Groat was her amazement to receive a
reply to the effect that the official en
gagoments of tho American Minister
and Mrs. P. made it impossible for
them to accept private invitations."
But since Gen. Grant has landed in
England and roeeived attentions
Irom royalty and the nobility which
have almost dazod the head of tbe
whilom Galena tanner, Pierreponte
has acted as if ho were bereft ot com
mon senBO and American ideas and
disports himself in a manner that
proves him to ba one of the most con
firmed snobs. It appears that one of
tbe most important questions incident
to tbe visit that engaged the attention
and profound reasoning of this stilted
official was as to the wording of tho
invitation to tbe dinner party recep
tion. Says the Timet : "The idea was
to impress tbe guests as much aspossi
Liu with the dignity and renown of
tbo American Minister and President
Grant without everstopping the bounds
ol propriety ; the commonplace and
lhe extraordinary were lo be avoided,
with tbe benefit of the doubt always
in favor of tbo latter. At length, after
consultation with the Lord Chamber
lain, tbe Boss Stationer, and tbe spirit.
ual and material heads ot the house of
Piorrepont, tho following form was
agreed upon : 'The American Minister
and Mrs. P,'ic, 'To meet General
Ulysses S. Grant, (late) President of
tho United States, and Mrs. Grant.1
And now all England is wonderingV bat
in tbo world that parenthesis means.
America also should insist upon an ex
planation. Picrrcpont soems to be a
good many kinds of fool." Danville
Intelligencer.
A Clerical Devil. A letter from
Ashton, III., dated May 25, says:
"Elder J. II. McGee, the alleged Ash
ton wife poisoner, made an attempt to
slip the baiter and catch bis daughter.
He first tells her lo bring him some
dishes, consisting of a plate, cup, and
saueer, also spoon, knife and fork. He
uses the knile for the purpose ol ess
cape, by sawing away tbe bars of tba
cell, but fails in this, lie next procures
a pair of scissors and attempts digging
out through the closet. Tbe third,
and it seems tho last chance, ts to got
the daughter, Jonnie, to sign a con
fession. Ho first writos ono, and tells
her to copy it and sign ber name to it.
"By so doing, it will help mo out, and
they can't hurt you." Sho being
young and inexperiencod, takes tbe
advico, and copies tbe confession writ
ten by her father, and signs her name.
He then attempts to use the instrument
to clear himself, but when the trial
camo on sho was informed of tbe full
enormity, and tho position in which
she was placing herself. Her young
heart failed her, and she said : "Father
wroto this, and then told me to copy,
and then sign my name, but 1 did not
poison my ma."
