The philosopher.

H. G. begins to comprehend the condi-
tion of affairs and is laboring earnestly to
reclaim his Radical friends.
These one-sided Investigations are not
recommended by him, 1t tappears, and in re-
ferring to the refusal of Congress to hear
both sides of the matter in reference to the
treatment of prisoners during the war, the
Philosopher philosOphizes in this wise:
"Gen. Washburne we have esteemed a
wise and able man; but this performance is
not among those on which that judgment
is founded. There is not a sympathizer
with the Lost Cause" on earth who will
not triumphantly read and cite it as evil
dence that the Republicans dare not make a
full and fair investigation of the treatment
OF prisoners by each party in our late Civil
War-not even before a committee of their
own choosing-and the impartial world
will be likely to agree with them. Sup
pose a European historian writing the his
tory of our great struggle, with the Con-
federate report aforesaid before him and
only General Washburne's preamble and
resolve to weigh against it-can there be
any doubt as to his conclusion?" ~ .af

party, can there be much doubt as to the

The Nep York Tribune of Thursday has
the following:
"In the House yesterday Gen. Butler en-
phaticaily denied the statement OF the reb
ell Gen. Ould that he had offered to give up
10000 sick Union prisoners, and that the
offer had been refused by the United States
Commissioners. Mr.. Eldridge was not sat
isfied with this denial, and to us the dis
cussion is additional proof that for the
honor of the Government, and the final set
tlement of the whole question, committee
to investigate the treatment of both Union
and rebel prisoners should be appointed by
Congress" -
The rebel Gen. OULD is sustained in his
charge by Hon. FRED. HAssAUREK, editor
of the Tolksblatt, the German Radical organ
of Cincinnati. This gentleman charges upon
BUrLER as being the cause of the starvation
of Federal prisoners during the war, in his
all attempts at exchange, leav-
ing them to pine in prison in charge of an
army that had neither sufficient food or
clothing. -a.i.ao -.1
