cate Of the Military Court. l obeyed the sum-

some ten days. The investigation had taken .
wide range as to the conduct of the Confederate
and Federal Governments in the matter OF the
treatment of prisoners, and / thought the time
had come when I could put before the world
these humane offers Of the Confederate author
tiles, and the manner in which they had been
treated. l SO expressed myself more than once
perhaps too publicly. But it was D vain

cate, requiring me to surrender my subpoena

Some time ago committee was appointed by
the House of Representatives to investigate the
treatment of Union prisoners in Southern pri-
sons. After the appointment Of the committee
the Hon. Mr.. Shsnks, OF Indiana, being its
Chairman-I wrote to the Hon. Charles A. Ed

member OF the committed some OF the facts
hereinsdetailed. Both of these gentlemen made
an effort to extend the authority OF the commit
tee, SO that it might inquire into the treatment
of prisoners North as we'll as South, and espe-
cially that it might inquire into the truth Of the
matters which had alleged All these attempts
were frustrated by the radical majority, although
several of the party voted to extend the inquiry.
AS several thousand dollars Of the money Of the
people have been speat by this committee, will
not they demand that the investigation shall b
thorough and impartial? The House Of Repre-
sentatives have declined the inquiry; let she peo-
pie take it up.
