The Confederate Muster Rolls.
Petersburg Index-Appeal.)


The Richmond Dispatch, in an editorial
referring to Congressman BromwelPs bill
authorizing the return of Confederate
battle-fiags captured by the Union armies
during the civil war, says:
80 far as Virginia is concerned, there
is no question but that our people would
rather the Federal Government would
give us access to our muster rolls than
give us back our flags. These rolls were
captured at Richmond and Danville at
the close of the war. Our State has long
desired to have copies Of them made, but
under the rigid rules of the War Depart
ment no copying OF that character can
be done there except by its own high
sillaried clerks. Thus the copies we wish
ould cost about 600 whereas, we
could send clerical force OF young wo-
men there and have the work done at an
expense of about $500"
Without taking issue with our Rich
mond contemporary as to whether the
people of Virginia would prefer having
access to the Confederate muster rolls to
the restoration OF the Confederate bat
tle-hags, we will state that we see no
reason why the government of the United
States should not give US the privilege OF
having these rolls copied as proposed Ey
the Dispatch, ard should not also re-
>tore the flags as proposed by Mr.. Brom-
wells bill. The State OF Virginia years
ago ought TO have been granted the privi-
lege of making copies OF the documents
showing the names of the officers and
men who served in Virginia regiments
and other Virginia organizations on the
Confederate side, and there ought now to
be no delay in according this privilege
We hope our Richmond contemporary
will continue its efforts in this direction.
We have only to suggest that one propo-
sitlon shall not be urged in competition
with the other. Both should be carried
out. Virginia should be allowed to nave
the muster rolls copied and the flags
should be restored.

for his inherent crookedness. We easu-

hints are calculated to be most sinister
and we can always find people VINO are

gnawing, gnawing just Ike our appeiltes
when we miss a meal and try to per-
suade ourselves that we aren't hungry
We can't help 1t. We feel that we have
been personally aggrieyed--that the rich
and prosperous man has done us an ire
parable injury, just. what we do not
know but, nevertheless, an injury.
Something tells us that it was indecent
in him to heap up riches whils We were
waiting for our own ship to come in;
that his overwhelming selfshness has
caused him to grasp what more deserving
men should have had, and that prosperity
as i'll BELTS him as snow on muck
heap. And then we persuade ourselves
that after all it is only the good and the
pure and the intellectual and the deserv-
ing who fail to succeed in this world and
that the whole trouble is due to their
unselfshness and consideration for their
fellow creatures.
And still this philosophy does not sat
isfy US. We find ourselves wishing that
We were not good and pure and intellec-
tual and deserving. And frequently we
observe that the people who have tailed

tendency 10 harp on their troubles and
