Southern Loyalty.

We believe fully in the duty and
necessity of protecting men in the
Southern States who stood by the
Union cause during the war. They
should be shielded by the National
Government from persecution of
every kind, and their necessities and
interests should be consulted SO far
Us possible in all provisions for the
future government of those States.
But we are by no means satisfied
that it will answer to allow those who
called themselves loyal Southerners
IN all cases to dictate measures OF
reconstruction, and possess them
selves of all political power in the
Southern States. Justice does not
require this, nor will good policy per
NIT it. Their numbers 10 not Justify
any such action in any of the South
erl States; and III case of many of
this class Of persons, neither their
wisdom nor their services to the
Union cause warrant them in making
any such demand. Many of them
left the South during the rebellion,
merely to avoid military service, but
they were Just as aversc to entering
the Union army us the rebel army
Others, like John NJ. Bots. of Viz
glnia, maintained an attitude Of com
plcte neutrality itv-giving voluntary
aid to neither side and serving both
as necessity dictated. Mr.. Bolts re-
manned on his farm through the war
refusing to have anything to do
with either side, inviting e.licers Of
both armies impartiaily to the hospi-
talltlcs of his house, and claiming
from both sides, with equal Impair
tlallty, whatever damages he might
sustain from the operations OF either
during the war. This may have been
highly praiseworthy in Mr.. Botts-it
was certainly less culpable shan ac
tive participation IN the ccbellion
would have been but it -. also
more profitable. Mr. BottkN lnow
very earnest in demanding t&3yon-
Srcss shall 50 shape things$J PVir-
glnla as to give him and otherS mon
men absolute political contrGp5f the
State. We cannot admit the Justice
of the demand. Mr.. Bots lts not
earned any such right, either b. ser
wees or sacrifices, aAd his case IS
that of many others who now claim
equal privileges.
While something must be conccded
to the matter of deSert N tll' flcon-
Strnction of political society, an the
distribution OF political powar the
South, the main object of IL" Co
vcrnment should hc TO provide for
the safety. peace and prosperity of
those States. The most active and
responsible agents OF the rcbe',io
should be excluded from power; but
there are thousands among thos
vino were driven into it WHO are far
wiser and safer rs pohtical lca'ers
now than some WHO claim 10 have
been Union men from the beginning.
Ihe Government should exercise
some discrimination in making its
selections. The motives which led
men t" be loyal are sometimes oaite
as important as the simple fact.
