Courtesy 10 Traitors.

In a recent letter to the Home Journal. Mr..
Willis writes that he met at an evening party
at Mr.. Secretary Stewards, woman whose bit
ter enmity to the Union cause, and as violent
friendship for the rebels, has never been con-
cealed but is boasted of SO openly that all Wash
ington knows of it. We agree in the sugges-
ton ofthe New York Evening Post, that though
Mr. Seward may think this small matter,
supplemented people, out of Washington. think
it grave, and would much prefer to see the Sec
retary of State acting in such circumstances rs
did Capt, Doubleday at Fort Sumpter. The
rebel Colonel Ripley, who was once United
States officer, seIt one day his prospects 10 his
old friend Captain Doubleday" to which the
latter returned the proper reply, that he "had
neither respect nor friendship for person who
was a traitor to his flag and his country" Lit
tie rs we doubt Mr. Seward hatred for traitors
in the abstract, we like much better Captain
poubledays frank manner of dealing with
them. They should be treated as outcasts, as
well socially as legally, and no loyal man
should any more extend courtesy to such man
than to a common felon. 1t should be consid-
cred as great an insult TO introduce one of these
persons into respectable society as the other a
