was possible to make cartel fer
the exchange of prisoners, and on
the 22d of July, 1861, cartel was
agreed up on between the belligerents
which provided that within ten days
after = prisoner was taken he should
be paroled and sent home, and
" Whenever it was announced by
either side that a certain number
was released from the parole a cor
responding number should be releas-
ed from the other side, and in that
way the exchange was effected.
There were two points of delivery
of prisoners. One was at Vicks-
burgh. Another was at a point near
Dutch Gap, in Virginia. And the
exchange went on for some time
until a series of events occurred
which interrupted it. To those events
l desire to call attention for mo-
meDt. The first in order of time
was proposition which was read
before the House yesterday, and
which | incorporate here in my re-
marks, not for the sake of making
any personal point, but to preserve
the continuity of the history,
In October, 1862, a resolution was
introduced into the confederate SEN
ate by Senator Hill of Georgia
That every person pretending to be a
soldier or officer at The United States
who shall be captured on the slil of til.
| Confederate States after the lsL OF Jan
uary, 1868 shall be presumed to have en-
/ tered the territory of the Confederate
States with intent to excite insurr1clion
and TO bet murder, and that unless
| satisfactory proof be adduced to the con-
trary before the military court before
which his trial shall be had he shall suf-
| fer DEATH
That was the first step in the COM
plieatIon in regard to the exchange
of prisoners of war. That resolu-
tion appears to have borne early
fruits.
On the 22d day of December, 1862,
Jefferson Davis, the man for whom
amnesty is now being asked, issued
a proclamation, copy of which l
holu III my hand. read two para
graphs:
First That all commissioned officers
IN lhe command OF said Benjamin F.
Butler be declared not entitled To be CON
sidered as soldiers engaged in honorable
| warfare, but as robbers and criminals de-
serving death and that thy, aud each
OF them, be, whenever captured, resary-
Il ed ioI execution.
/ Mr.. HILL A reason is stated for
that.
Mr.. GARFIELD. The reason is in
the preamble. | am not discussing
the reasons for this extraordinary
proclamation, but its effects upon
the exchange of prisoners.
Third. That all negro slaves captured
in arms be at once deliyered-OYer To the
executive authorities of the respective
d States 10 which they belong TO Oe d1al
