correspondent says: The question so
long agitated as to who are responsible for
the cruel treatment Of our prisoners
confined in Libby and other prisons, may
be considered as definitely settled. 1t
appears that the rebel Senator Footc was
mcmper of Committee in the Senate to
examine the treatment Of prisoners and
the reports of their harsh usage and
starvation. His story, as told by his
relatives. shows deeper intention than
is generally supposed, and fastens upon
Jeff. Davis and his Cabinet a crime
striking and appalling in its details.
Foote, it is said, states that the invcstiga-
tions showed conclusive evidence that it
was decided in a Cabinet meeting to
reduce tho rations served TO the prisoners
that it should so weaken their coustitu-
tions in connection with their close
confinement that it would distroy them
as soldiers. and make them when en-
changed worthless. Foote determined to
report these facts to tho Senate. but the
committee overruled him and suppressed
the facts. 1t was on this point that the
row between Foot, and Davis broke out
afres!,, which resulted in the latter leav-
ing Richmond. 49,.
