Senator Edmunds, OF Vermont, has writ,
ten an instructive letter on rebel claims,
as follows:
"The rebel claims referred TO are not
claims OF rebels for aiding the rebellion,
but for property, amounting altogether to
hundreds and probably thousands Of mil
lions, taken or destOyed by armies OF the
United States, and therefore the moment
the test OF loyalty OF any claimant Is re-
pealed the claim OF the rebel stands exact:
ly ike the claim OF any other citizen
against the Government on account Of its
action, and not on account OF the action ot
the rebel authorities.
''The Democrats in Congress have tried
time after time to repeal the distinction in
respect 10 claims Of loyal and disloyal
persons, and they have bills now pending
in the Senate to effect that object, and
they will effect it by a solid or nearly
solid Democratic vote the moment they
get possession 81 all the Departments Of
the Government.
"As to rebel pensions, the editor of the
Democrat, il he will reflect little, will, l
am sure, agree that pension does not in
any case fall within the description Of
ANY debt or obligation, and ifso, it is not
within the prohibition Of the Fourteenth
Amendment. A pension Is and always
has been granted upon the ground Of
bounty or gratitude and not OF legal obli-
CATION. It is perfectly clear, therefore,
that the Constitution does not stand IN
the way OF Congress peusioning every
rebel soldier or soldiers widow and child
zen, or indeed every other rebel, II II
pleases."

Fiith-BeCause the Democratic party by

duties and especially for bis efforts in the
direction OF reform OF public service; for
