Liable or Not Liable.

Are the military leaders of the rebellion
who surrendered to General Grant, and sub.
sequeptly those who surrendered to other of
our commanding Generals on the same terms,
amepable to the civil laws for their crimes
| Many journals in our State and out of it,
are of the opinion that Grants terms are
eouivolent to a pardon for all acts done in
the past. We are .tornenst that opinion, and
and believe that it stands contradicted out of
General Lees own mouth. In his conversa-
ton with correspondent of the New York
Herald, who sought and received his opin-
ion, he knowing that whatever he might say
would have all the publicity that journal and
others could give it, said
As to the effect of his surrender, be was
| free to say it was severe blow to the South,
but not crushing blow. 1t was of military,
not political significance. l asked, was not
the surrender virtual surrender of the doc
| trine of State rights. By no means. the
General replied. When the South shall be
| wholly subdued there will then undeniably
| be surrender of that doctrine But the
/ ooAiCuucI VI u Siuplc Is
| tary necessity. The army of Northern Vir-
ginia was surrendered because further resist.
| ance on its part would only entail useless
sacrifice of life. But that army was only
part of the force of the South. When the
South shall be forced to surrender all its
forces, and returns to the Union, it irdispu
tably, by that act, surrenders its favorite
1 doctrine of secession. That principle will
then be settled by military power.
We are willing to take his Interpretation
of his position-''i it was of military, not
political significance" According to his
views :" the blow was not fatal"-he was
simply prisoner of war on parole until ex-
changed. The war would go on; he was
still citizen of the confederacy. Every
other commander yielded on the same terms,
and hence it becomes perfectly clear to the
understanding, without the further fact that
he yielded not to preserve himself but to
stop the further ehusion of blood that he is
simply a prisoner of war, without the ques-
ton of his civil status as a citizen of the
United States having been raised or discussed
in the terms of his surrender. This looks
like plain sailing to US, and it looked just so
to Gen. Lee.
We would not have our Government do
anything that could be tortured into breach
of faith on its part, nor do we think that if
its civil law tribunals tries, and if convicted,
hangs every mothers son of them, that it
can be charged. with any show of reason.
that it has violated any compact entered into
by any of its authorities. This, we say,
without going into the fine spun argument
of the question-'can military power make
compact of a civil nature? or of such q
nature as would secure the rebels against the
operation of the civil law after the close of
| the war"
That question needs not to be raised to
settle the issue. Such state Of facts does
not exist as to require it.

"A dispatch states that the rebel General
Lee now lives in his house at Richmond. on
rations regularly issued to him by the Gov.
ernment. What commentary on the infa-
my of the rebellion is the fact, that the very
men who for four years stroye to overthrow
the Government, are now dependent upon
the bounty of the same Government for the
very subsistence which protects them from
starvation Louis Dem.
