COnnsrated Property.


4 case was decided in the United
States Supreme Court some days
since. which will no doubt create a
sensation among the holders of con-
fiscatcd property in the South. The
case is that of Bigelow W.. DeForest,
in which certain real estate in Fir-
ginia was seized under the canfisca-
ton laws and sold. IFS owner being
adjudged guilty of treason. That
person having since died. his heirs
brought in ejectment TO recover the
property. The claim was resisted
upon he ground that the title of the
original owner was forfeited by his
treason. and his rights i'm the property
thoroughly Invested. But the United
States Supreme Court decided that il
il was only his estate during his life
which was Invested. and since his
death his heirs may recover the prop
erty. This decision * i'm accordance
with clause two, Section three. arti-
Gle three of the Constitution of the
United States, which SAYS Congress
shall have power to declare the pun
ishment Of treason. but no attainder
of treason shall work corruption of
blood. or forfeiture. except during
the life of the person attainted.r

are now informed through Il Havana
letter of the the 9th inst. that the
Spanish commander. believing Jor-
dams proposition To lay down his
arms genuine, sent out the battalion
of modified troops called Matanzas,
as far as the Rio Abajo. but instead Of
receiving surrender, the Spanish
troops were assailed by storm Of
balls. and had to take 10 their heels TO
escape destruction. The battalion of
San Quentin went up TO the relief of
their comrades, but were unable TO
stand the fire, and. rolling back upon
the battalion of Matanzas. already i'm
full fight, left the field entirely to
Jordan's men. OF Spaniards there
were on the field more than 900 dead,
Of officers alone more than forty were
killed. The badly wounded remained
in Manzanillo the others were dis

The statement of Mr.. n. j. Fletch-
er of Tennessee, as to the outrages of
the Ku-Klux Klans in that State,
would make very startling and hor-
rifying reading if the facts were not
conicssedly stated secondhand, and
from faint recollcctions ofo,d CONVEX
sations. Beyond few weIl-known
and authenticated instances. of the
murder of prominent men, such as
Senator Case, the statement contains
only the most general information,
upon which no official body or per-
son would feel authorized TO act +.
The picture j.. nevertheless. pain
full one. OF the truth of the general
statement there can. unfortunately,
be vert little doubt. But Just such
scenes follow every war-and partic-
uIarly civil wars. They are the nat
ural results OF the sudden overthrow
of all civil laws and social amity.
The long period required TO restore
order must of necessity be marked by
many acts of violence. But we be-
lieve and maintain that the murders
and rencOunters which mark recon-
struction in Tennessee and the South
generally. are largely the results of
personal luminosity. 1t is absurd to
believe that they were planned by
politicians for nolitical purposes.
Politics may perhaps oe at the bot
tc m-the indirect cause of the perso-
nal difficulties. 1t would be singular
if such fruitful source of disorder
were hot the origin in some instances.
of the personal animosities whose re-
suits Mr.. Fletcher portrays. But
while we haven't a doubt of the truth
of Mr.. Fletchers story, We dissent
from the theory that political differ
euces worthy the attention of Con-
gress are the cause of the trouble.
While we shall be glad to see order
restored and maintained in Tennessee
by the State militia OF United States
Army. We shall heartily regret to see
the State put through long course
of political reconstruction at the
hands of Congress. What Tennessee
wants is a strong police force and an
enforcement of her laws. Give her
thst and little time and she will
soon become more orderly than be-
fore the war.-Ner York Tribune
