A Decision by Attorney GEN. Speed.
Special dispatch TO the Chicago Times, !.

Special dispatch to the Chicago Times, .,-.,
WASHINGTON, April q.
Secretary Stanton, day or two since,
addressed q letter to Attorney General
Speed, relative to the privilege of certain
officers and civilians who have been engag.
ed in the rebellion. The arrival here of q
large number of officers of the rebel army
doubtless suggested the letter. In this
letter Secretary Stanton makes the follow
ing inquiries Of Attorney General Speed:
1st. Whether the rebel officers who once
resided in the city Of Washington, and went
to Virginia, or elsewhere in the South, and
took service, can return to the city under the
stipulations of the capitulation and reside here
as their homes
: I'd. Whether persons who resided in Wash
iDgton about the time the rebellion broke out.
and left the city for Richmond, where they have
adhered to the rebel cause enlisted into its civil
service, or otherwise given 1t their support
comfort and aid, can return to Washington
since the capitulatiOn of Lees army and cap
ture of Richmond. and reside here under the
terms of the cap.tulation.
rebel officers have appeared in public in loyal
States wearing the rebel uniform. Will you
state whether such conduct is not fresh act
of hostility OIL their part to the United States.
subjecting them 10 be dealt with as ayowed en-.
emies of the Government.
The Attorney General replies at some
length, but sums up his opinion as fol.
lows, 80
1st Regarding Gen. Grant as speaking sim.
ply as soldier and with powers Of o soldier
regarding this war as territory war, and all
persons within that territory residents thereof
and as such enemies Of the Government. and
looking 10 the language of the stipuations. /
am of opinion that rebel officers who surren-
dered to Grant have no homes within Ioyal
States, and have no right TO come to places
which were their homes prior to their going
into the rebellion.
I'd. As to your second question, the etipula-
lions OF surrender made between Gems Grant
and Lee did not embrace any persons other
than the officers and soldiers OF Lees army
Persons In the civil service OF the rebellion. or
who bad otherwise given it support comfort
and aid, and were residents of rebel territory.
certainly have no right to return to Washing.
ton under that stipulation.
3D.. AS to your third question, nv answer To
the frat is o complete answer to this. Rebei
officers certainly have no right to be wearing
their uniforms in any of the LOYAL States II
seems to me that such officers having done
wrong In coming to loyal States. are but add
ing insult to Injury in wearing their uniforms.
1ney have rs much right TO bear the traitors'
Mage through the streets OF loyal cities ss 70
wear the traitors garb. The stipuIatio Of
surrender permit no such thiog, and the wear-
Ing OF such uniform il an act of hostiI;tv
against the government.

reckless nendacity and utter disregard of
ell deoency in its attacks upon political
opponents, but the public were not pre-
pared. for such an exhibition Of utter de-
prayity and political rancour as was shown
in it's columns Of Thursday, in attempting
to fix upon Mr.. L1NNEHAE, a respectable
German merchant Of St. Joseph, the odium.
Of being an accomplice Of BoorH in the
assassination Of the President, and that,
too, upon NO other foundation than
the most frivolous gossip of stroll
ing preacher, endorsed by political and
perhaps personal enemies of the ao-
cused. The Press was not even content
to retail this gossip, but proceeded to
argue at considerable length that "Ar.
LIKHENAN has been in close communion
ton with the Knights of the Golden Cir
ole, the Sons of Liberty, or some other
secret society of traitors, to whose dark
conclaves the tiendish plot was known"
This infamous attack created great In
dignation among all our principal mer-
chants, who knew that Mr.. L,RNakAH was
one of the moet upright and honorable mer-
chants in the State, Of irreproachable pri-
vats character, and Of undoubted pa
Mr.. LsKRhAR, who happened to
be in the city, waited upon the
editor Of the Press, and backed by
several merchants, succeeded In getting
the partial retraction and apology which
appeared in yesterday b Press. But we
are assured by prominent citizens that this
attempted reparation is not satisfactory to
Mr.. L1NNRMAN or his friends. A state of
feeling may have been excited among SOL
diers and other citizens who will pass
through st. Joseph, that before the matter
is fully understood, Mr., L1NNEMAN's prop
erty may be destroyed, and his family
abused. The truth is no adequate repara-
ton can be made for an injury OF thls char
acter.
We trust this event will be warning to
the Press for the future If the editor
of that journal cannot be made to realize
that man may differ from him politically
without being an assassin, the sooner he is
placed in mad:house the better it will be
for the public peace. One would suppose
that the libel suit now hanging over the
Press for most atrocious SANDERS on q
prominent member of its own party (out of
which suit it has been trying to wiggle for
two years pasD, might learn the editors
little wisdom. If there is no law to pro-
tect people from such assaults a. that made
upon MIR. LIsNEMAN, then our government
is very far from what it ought to be.

The H1o1eK1 seems 70 stand alone In its ap-
prevail OF Gen. 6herman's course. We trust Il
win haye good tfme.-Psess. 49,
We think the Press win not find In our
columns a decided approval Of General
SHRRMAN's course. On the contrary We
have acknowledged that he had transcend
ed his powers as military commander,
and that on this ground the disapproval of
his agreement, was properly based. But
anticipating the harsh criticisms of STAN
TON, and of the Administration press, it
seemed to be duty to defend his char
acter and motives from unjust aspersions,
and that is all that we have attempted to
do. In regard to the terms of bis agree
ment, however, there may be room for
honest differences of opinion, even among
his warmest friends. We see nothing in
them particularly Objectionable to any one
Who ardently desires the restoration of
peace and Union at the earliest practicable
moment Whether their execution would
have led to these happy results, 1t issim-
possible to say. Time viii prove whether
Gen. SHKRMAN was right or wrong. .I
II we stand by Gen. SHERMAN we shall
not " stand Alone" even if the Press and
Chicago Times remain afar of. The pious
trust of the former that we will have .
good time, may yet be realized ~ T.

years of the Rebellion his thrilling capture his
confinement for twenty months between different

journey by night of nearly 400 miles. 1t will
abound in stirring events, and contains more of the
fact incident and romance of the war than any
other work yet published. Horace Greeley saws
of it:
"a great many books will yet be written CON
cerning this war, in addition to the many already
in print: but not one of them will give within a
similar compass, clearer, fuller more readable
account, entirely from personal observation, of the
