Another question Of importance involved In the pro-
position declare to be alien enemies such persons being
citizens Of the Confederate States who may have taken
the oath OF allegiance the Washington government
who persist in their dsoyay 10 the conederacy. II is
certainly desirable well just that such persons
should be punished In way for their quasi treason.
AT present the immunity they enjoy operates q pre-

present they equally safe against the effects Of Con-
federate legislation They occupy anomalous position,
which, however beneficial 1t may be TO them, we
suffer them 10 retain without being guilty Of great
injustice towards the loyal citizens OF the conicderacy
But the questions present themselves whether Con.
grcss csn by simple act OF legislation, change the
citizenship OF citizen Of OF the Confederate States
whether Congress declare person not TO be cti
OF the confederacy who is citizen OF the confcde
racy, and make person alien enemy who is not an
alien Still further the question arises whether
Congress has mt all to define the qualica ions OF
citizenship; whether that power does reside exclu
sively in the States, and whether citizen OF State
be deprived OF his citizenship by act Of Congress- These
questions which Involve the whole subject in pcrpcx
ty, and which ought to be carefully considered in ad
OF any decided legislative action II s certainly
desirable that disoyal persons be punished at least
deprived OF the advantages they enjoy; but 1t Is
still desirable that Congress do nothing equivalent
