who was Responsible for Andersonyille

Who was Responsible for Andersonyille
The horrors of Andersonville, it is known
grew out Of the refusal of our government
to exchange prisoners of war with the con
federates How that refusal came abou
and was justified is thus explained by til,
New York SIM, whose editor was assls
tant Secretary of War under Stanton dur
ing Lincoln's administration:
Mr. J. NJ. Jones, of Worcester, Mass, de
sires information on the following points:
"Who was responsible for the non-eX
change of prisoners in the year 1864? Di,
the rebel government ever refuse to eX
change white prisoners, man for man
Were any colored prisoners ever exchang
ed at any time during the war: Why wa:
not Jefferson Davis tried:"
We answer these questions In their order
The administration of Mr.. Lincoln was re
sponsible for the non-exchange of prison
ers in the year 1864. The president hat
entire control of the subject. Gen. Gran
advised agai, s exchanges, on. the groun(
that by sending back the confederate AT
mics healthy, vigorous men, and getting
starved and sick ones In exchange, the dis
proportion In strength of the two side:
would be diminished and the confe Ter
ates would thereby be better enabled Il
continue the war. Upon this theory the
administration acted, and they alone were
responsible for the act.
We do not think the rebel government
ever refused to exchange white prisoners
and as for the colored, there never were
many of them that could have been ex
changed. Very likely they may have re
fused TO exchange them; but on this sub
ject we have no positive knowledge.
Jefferson Davis was not tried because the
administration, President Grant being at
the head of II, thought IL better not TO try
him. He was arraigned In May, 1867, be
fore the United States Circuit Court at
Richmond, ON the charge of treason, and
In December, 1858, a nOiie prosequi was en-
tered. This was entirely an act Of policy
ON the part Of President Grant Had he sc
willed, trial would have taken place
but we think that the most patriotic and in
telligent men will now agree that In every
respect II was wiser that there should bt
Nc trial, and that Mr.. Davis should be re
leased.
In our judgment II Is Q great glory Of
the United States that after an unequAllec
civil war, there were no prosecutions, anc
above all, no executions for treason.
