will probably be able to furnish the cards

teries, wherein are the remains of almost
countless numbers of those "who gave up

The Government could not thefore, under
any circumstances, yield up the possession
thereof, and it most certainly would not
be desirable for the Lee family to assert q
claim therefor and enter into the occupa.

legal title thereto.
Fortunately to all concerned, the Gov
eminent and people of the United States,
the friends and relatives of the deceased
soldiers there buried, as well as to the
heirs and family of Gen. Lee, the title Of
the Government is not founded ON confs'
cation on account of the part taken by
Con Lee in the Rebellion. The property
never belonged to Gen. Lee. Mr. Curtis,
the former owner, at his death, bequeathed
life interest, in this property, to his
daughter, the wife of Gen. Robert +. Lee,
and at her death, it was to descend to her
sons, and his grandeons, Curtis and Fitz
Hugh Lee, both of whom followed their
fathers fortunes in the rebel army.-So
in any event the death of the General
would not effect the title, even under the
confscation laws. The Government title
is, however, tar title, gained by a sale OF
the property for non payment of taxes
assessed thereon, and forts have been re-
peatedly made to redeem the same by the
payment of the taxes, and also to have The
sale set aside, but these efforts have Ill
been unsuccessful, and the proceedings
have al been found to be regular in every
particular, so that the title of the United
States may be considered as perfect and
uoquestionable, aud the people may rest
assured that the graves of our soldiers, III
that cemetery at least, will never become
the property of a private individual.

STRIKE NOW!
JUDGED BY THE RECORD.

The New York papers are printing for
midable columns of matter to show what
Congress did at the session just closed.
Summing up the results in a general way,
the New York Journal of Commerce in
sists that few Congresses have more dis,
appointed and Disguised the public than
the fOrty-first. The number of bills and
resolutions to promote party objects, or
to put money into the pockets of the
lobby and of private individuals, is i'm
mense. Strike out from the prodigious
lists all in which the grinding is not
clearly visible, and but a small residuum
would be left. We know it is said that
hundreds of jobs failed to go through;
but we owe less thanks to Congress for
that than TO the deadly strife of the lobby
thieves with one another. The record
might have been blacker, but it is black
enough as it is. 1t would take a
greater space than we could give to the
subject to point out a tenth part of
the iniquities and the blunders, moral,
financial and political, perpetrated at the
last session. But we cannot refrain from
Mentioning two gross errors, crimes
against public sentiment, we might almost
can them, one of commission and the
other of omission. One is the passage of
new income tax law, in defiance of
reason and justice, in contempt of the
constitution, and in violation of the most
solemn pledges Of a former Congress.
This is an outrage which will recol with
stunning effect on the party responsible
for it. 1t was inflicted for no other pur-
pose in the world than to perpetuate the
horde of Office holders, and keep the grip
of that party on the Threats of the people;
but we mistake if the people do not take
the party by the throat at the next Con-
gressional elections. The omission was
the willful neglect Of not passing a general
amnesty bill, and putting an end to the
causes of disquiet and material adversely
at the South. This measure was pressed
by the best men of both parties alike, and
was denied them for the same reason that
the income tax was passed-because the
Congressional Radicals would not consent
to surrender their terrorism over people
once subjected to it. For this, too, the
party responsible will have to suffer.

ing it. Our foreign diplomacy has been
either inactive or -abortiKe. We have
been fiddling with San Domingo when we
ought to have been settling with England.
We have been bribing Baez with Ameri-
can gold when we ought to have been col
lecting the $40, 600, 900 due from England
for her piracies TO our citizens. The ap-
pointment of Frelinghuysen means that
this system of incompetency and medioc-
rity is to continue. We have already lost
one half the value of the Alabama claims
by neglect in allowing them TO run with
out interest for six years, knowing that
no interest will ever be allowed on them.
We are losing S., 000,0 600 a year by keep
ing an excessive stock of gold in our
| Treasury. 'E
eve are paying $l6o, 600, 600 year in
taxes more than we ought, in order to pay
off in ten years debt which we are pre-
tending to be trying to fund for forty
years. In the matter of Cuba, we have
no credit for magnanimity from Spain, o.
for sympathies with liberty from the Gu
bans. We have deserved neither. al
this could not come to pass if first-clas
abilities were Sought for the administra
lions of all departments of the govern
ment Does anybody suppose that th
nomination of Frelinghuysen was base
on any idea, however mistaken, of pre-
noting the interests and dignity of th
United States, or even the welfare an
success Of the Republican party? Doe
anybody conceive it represents the judG
: ment of the Presidents Cabinet? Doe
anybody hope that Gen. Grant has di
covered in Mr.. Frelinghuysen eminel
qualities of craftsmanship, which b
career hitherto has failed to DISCLOSED
