1t appears from Secretary Stanton
statement that since the capitulation,
rebel officers have appeared in their uni.
form within the loyal States. And
upon this fact the question arises wheth.
er such conduct is not an act Of hostility
| The Attorney General reaches copcu.
| sion upon the subject without any ap.
parent hesitancy which may be summed
up as follows: lst That the rebel officers
who surrendered to Grant have no homes
in loyal states, and have no right to come
I to places within those where their homes
were prior to going into the rebellion
I'd. That persons in the civil service of
the rebellion, and have otherwise given
aid, comfort or support, we're residents of
rebel territory, and had no right to re-
turn to Washington under that stipula.
ton. I'd. Rebel officers have no right to
wear their uniforms in the loyal States,
they have as much right to bear the rebel
flag through the streets of city as to
wear the traitors garb-it is an act of
hostility. The opinion of the Attorney
General will commend itself to the judg.
ment of all
A proposition has been started that
Fords Theater ia Washington, the scene
of the assassination of President Lincoln,
should be purchased, the building re-
moved, and a monument erected on the
spot to tell to future generations that
there tell the hrst martyr Of the American
Republic to the cause of universal free
dom The project is we'll received and
heartily commended by the press and
people An amount sufficient to pur-
chase the spot and erect the monument
would without doubt, be readily sub
scribed by the people, if the measure
SHOULD be placed in the hands Of reliable
parties LTD.
