TuERE are many questions likely to arise
in settling up with the shareholders, in which
the people of this country have deep inter
eat, and which they are likely to overlook in
the prevailing anxiety COR reconstruction.
Claims will be made by Southern rebels upon
the Treasury of the United for sums Of
money which, in the aggregate, will exceed
the present immense national debt. And
these demands will be sustained by the uni
ted delegations Of the South in Congress,
coed in other portions Of the South a. com
plssely as they have in Maryland and KEN
lucky. With the united vote Of the South in
Congress in favor of such measures, aided by
the Northern Vallandighamers, and few
members who are always in market at some
price, we have much to fesr in the future, and
it behooves the people to keep q sharp look
out
One of the very first measures that the re-
united Democracy win press upon the atten.
ton Of Congress. Is payment for the slaves
of loyal men emancipated during the war
OF course, there are none but loyal men in
the South now, according to Seward, and il
will not be "lovely" to go to raking up old
records, and so, most of the shareholders of
the South, or their grandmothers or grand
children, in whose name the claims will be
presented, may get pay for their slaves.
The measure is already favorite one in
the South, andin Maryland allthe democratic
papers are earnestly insisting on it even now.
Indeed the last Legislature, which was
thoroughly democratic, enacted law provid-
ing for the appointment Of Commissioners in
Maryland TO make Registry OF all the own
ers Of emancipated slaves, with the number
aud value Of the said chattels. This law does
not exclude disloyal owners, by any means /;
and the Commissioners appointed by thar
villainous old renegade, Gov. Swami, are
prosecuting the Registry of the slaves of rebel
owners emancipated during the war, with 3
view to an early application to the govern.
ment of the United States for compensation.
The rebel democracy which triumphantly
swept the State of Kentucky, at the recent
election, hold as a cardinal principle of their
faith their right to compensation for their
slaves, at prices ruling before the war, and
with interest thereon from the date of eman>
cipation. And just so sure as the reunited
democracy are restored to power again, in
this country, just so sure, will the people be
taxed to pay this and other exorbitant de-
mands, for damages and losses sustained by
the rebels during the war
