he is aooa to recomrcence hostilites. he may
even declare, al the time ot making TIE ifuCe,
that he will admit none of the enemy INTO any
pace under his jurisdiction.
"Those who. having entered the enemy terTi-
tories during the truce, are detained there oy
sickness, or any other unsurmountaole OBSTACLE
and thus happen to remain in The country ai.eF
the expiration OF the armlstice, may, an stiict
justice be kept prisoners it is an ACCIDENT
which they might have fUreseen, and to "hith
they have, of their own accord, exposed tAeln-
selves but humanity and generosity commonly
require that they should be allowed suincleht
term for their departure.
eff the articles of truce contain any conditions
either more extensive or more narrowly restric-
tive than what we have here laid down, the trans
action becomes particular convention. III IS Cd.
ligatory on the contracting parties VINO are bound
to observe what they have promised IN due form;
and the obligations thence resulting constitute
conventional right.
Now if ths rights Of enemies, during long
truce and suspension Of hosthties, are thus re-
stricted, il would seem evident that their rights
under capitulation or surrender, without any
suspension of hostiities, could not, without ex-
press words in the stipulation to that effect, be
anything like as large as undota truce and Sns-
pension Of hostilities.
Regarding General Grant, then, as speaking
simply as soldier, and with the powers OF soi-
der regarding this war as territorial war, and
all persons within that. territory as residents
thereof, ard, as such, enemies OF the Govern
ment |; and looking to the language OF the stipuI-
alton, 1 am of opinion that the reDel oihcers VINO
surrendered to General Grant have no homes
within loyal States. and have no right to come TO
places which ere their homes prior to their 60
ing into rebellion.
II. AS to your second question-The stpuIa-
tion of surrender made betwixt Generals Grant
and Lee, does not embrace any persons other
than the officers and soldiers Of General Lee s
army. Persons in the civil service Of The rebel
hon, or who had otherwise given il support, COM
fort and aid and were residents OF the rebel ter
ritory certainly have no right to return to Wash
ington under that stipulation.
Ill As to the third qutstion-My answer to
the first Is complete answer 10 this.
Rebel officers certainly have no right to be
wearing their uniforms in any Of the loyal States
1t seems to me, that such officers, having done
wrong in coming into the loyal States, are but
adding iEsultto injury in wearing their uniforms.
They have as much right to bear the traitors flag
through the streets OF q loyal city, as - wear a
traitors garb. The stipulation 0f surrender per-
mitsu no suph thing, ana the wearing of such uni
form is AN act OF hostility against tie Govern
ment. Very respectfully,
