Pay No Var Damages.

There is very little reason TO fear 4 re-
pudiatlon party, for the suggestion will not
be tolerated in the North. and even in the
South, the interests of all the men of prop
ertv and business will be involved in the
maintenance OF the national credit after
restoration is completed. iiut there is
danger OF grand raid upon the trcasur,
in the shape of clHims for property taken
and destroyed during the war. There will
be claims from Pennsylvania, West Vir-
ginla, Missouri, Kentucky and Tennessee,
for seizure and destruction OF property TO
the amount of many millions of dollars bv
both Union and rebel troops And from
the rebel states there will be 4 great num-
ber OF cliims from proic>Scd loyallsts for
damages done by our armies. If there is
any disposition manifested to consider
these claims tavorabiy they will soon be
piled up to an amount that will be nearly
or quite us formidable as our present debt.
Congress must set its face as 4 flint against
them all, recognizing such only as are
based upon obligations already given.
War necessarily involves individual losses
and sacrifices, and it is impossible for the
government to equalizc them or make COM
pcnsation for them. Ii might as well un-
dertake to repay the damage done by light
ming and tornadoes, OF any natural calam-
ity. 1t was the misfortune of the Penn
sylvanianS that they lived where Lee could
get at them. not TO say their fault that
they sat tamely down and awaited his
coming, with little Or 10 preparation for
resistance. They must accept their losses
Us provilentlaI. and not ask the nation to
make them good. And if loyal men i'll
the South suffered, Us doubtless many did,
because they unfortunately lived among
rebels, it was their misfortune they have
the sympathy of loyal men everywhere,
but they have no just claim upon the n,-
tional treasury for their losses. If the
government should once begin to pay such
claims, half the rebels in the South would
be ready to prove that they went into re-
bellion only on compulsion, and are good
enough Union men to have Il dip into the
treasury.-.SwmaieM Republican.
