We published last week the opinion OF
Attorney Gen. SPEED in relation to the
right of paroled men from LEES army TO
make their homes in the North. Of
course, the opinion applies only to the
men surrendered in LEES capitulation,
and who are merely paroled to await
regular exchange as prisoners 1t does
not apply to men who have deserted the
Confederate cause and taken the oath
of allegiance to the United States Gov
eminent OF the amnesty oath prescribed
by President LINCOLN. These mon are
restored to their right of citizenship in
the United States, and are legally en-
titled to make their residence wherever
they choose.
The efforts that ara being made in va
rious quarters TO prevent the return to
their former homesof men who have TAX
en the oath of allegiance. is i'll violation
of law and contrary to the spirit of the
policy pursued by the late President.

The Vendeerebellion of 1850, IN France,
affords a happy illustration Of the effects
of different lines of policy pursued
toward reyolted States. In the begin
ming of the revolution of 1889, the inhabi-
tants of Vendee being attached to the
royal cause, maintained a war against
the Republican Government, which, had
foreign powers employed the opportunl.-
ty i1diciously, would have endangered
the existence Of the new republic De-
'votedly fond of the nobility of the pro-
vince, easily influenced by the clergy,
and fred by semireligious zeal, these
peasants set the whole power OF the Gov
eminent at defiance
Led at first by such unlettered men as
Cathelenean the WAGNER, or CASTOR the
wigmaker, they would sally out sudden
ly from their Businesses upon small bands
of the Republican soldiery, until in this
manner they secured, in place of pixies
ane scythes, serviceable firearms, and in
time equipped a formidable army. After
being defeated by the Government
forces, every kind ofpersecution was Wis
tied on them. They were dragged in
crowds to Nantes, where the monster
Carrier to whom ordinary modes OF exc
cution appeared too slow, caused them to
be drowned in masses. Such harsh pun
ishment, however, instead of reducing
them to submission, still more infamed
the insurgents, and the revolt ragged with
increased fury. Stof1et succeeded the
diving La Rochejaquelin, and aided by
Charette and other skillful chiefs. main
tanned such stout resistance among the
tangled thickets and everglades of Bo-
cage, that the Convention was at last
compelled, says the historian, to confess
that Vendee could not be quelled by the
force of arms or fear of punishment. For
every insurgent executed dozen others
would rise up in his place, a new policy
was decided upon, and the disappointed
Vendees were invited, at the suggestion
of Carnot, "to return to their homes
with promise of pardon and oblivion of
the past" No sooner was this concilia-
tory course adopted and general am
nesty offered them, than the insurgents
at once abandoned the warfare which
they had waged for years against the
Government, and, won over by the au-
thorities, became as loyal as they were
before disloyal. They were Incorporated
into the national army and ranked
among the very best of Napoloon's sol
diers.

FIEAECIAL.-The New York Commercial of
the 18th says that the stock market is dull and
depressed. There is no disposition outside of the
ehques TO venture upon operations, and the
heaVy load carried by some of the bull opera
tors compels them to realize, which can be
done only upon free concession. There is
however, great financial strength among the
balls, and it is quite likely they will engineer
two or three more spasmodic advances before
Inc meeting of Congress, which is regarded on
all sides as the limits beyond which present
prices cannot be successfully maintained. The
dullness in Governments continues, and is
fostered by the news from London of continued
low quotations for Five-twenties. We dis
cover no symptoms of the large demand for in.
yestment reported in some quarters 10 have
been induced by the decline in prices. On the
contrary, there is large predominance of sci.
lers over buyers; but, judging from the active
demand for money from Government brokers,
there would appear TO be an effort in some
quarters TO sustain quotations. Five-twenties

TELEGRAMS, &c.

Careful estimates and comparisons with the
vote Of last year indicate a majority Of about
5000 in Wisconsin, against the extension of
suffrage. The Union majority in the State, it is
now thought, may reach 10000. The Assembly
stands: Unionists, 49, Democrats, 20; indepen-
dent hfty districts to hear from. In Minnesota,
atthe rate returns are now coming, 1t will take a
week TO get definite statement Of the Union
majority. 1t is variously estimated at from
5000 TO 5000.
Alexander H. Stephens, Rebel Vice Presi-
dent, having been solicited to become a candi-
date for Governor of Georgia, has written a
letter In which he positively declines TO allow
his name to be used in that connection. Mr..
Stephens has also refused, though strongly
urged, to be a candidate for Congress.
