UUrt ENEMYs BAD FAITH
It Is readily seen that both General DIX,
and General hill acted in the utmost
good taitn in the forna ton OF this car:
Tel, WITH common purpose IN view, 70
the carrying out OF winch each spieoseu
the soou talth OF MS government; ana IN
article 9 they made ample provision 70
prevent any cessation in Inc work OF e1-
changing promptly all prisoners Captured
during the war. And we now propose 70
snow that this would have been the case
but for the bad faith and bad conduct
of the representatives of the Federal Gov
eminent.
AS was contemplated by the cartel,
each OF the two governments appointed
its commissioners of exchange to carry
it into execution. On the part OF the
Federals. Major-General e. A Hltch-
COCK was appointed, with two ASSISTANTS
Colonel William H. Ludlow. and captain
afterwards Brigadier-GeneraU John E.
Mulford. On the part OF the Confeder-5
ates, the late Judge Robert Ould, OF the
Richmond (Na.) bar, was the sole repre-
sentative The writer had the privilege of
knowing both General Milford and Judge
Ould well, and, in his opinion, no better
selections could have been made by thelr4
respective governments. Judge Ould was
a man of splendid judicial bearing. SIN
gular honesty, and Kindness OF heai1
with capacity both in speaking and ID
writing, to represent his government with
unsurpassed ability. General Mul1ord
was a man Of fair abilities, and OF great
Kindness of heart. OF General Hltcn-
cock and Colonel Ludlow he can only
speak from what they disclose OF zthelr
characteristics in their letters, General
Hitchcock exhibits a profound distrust
of what he terms the Rebel author1-
ties. in all of his letters, and frequently
displays a temper and Impotence, seem
ingly not warranted by the surrounding
circumstances. Colonel Ludlow. at times.
exhibits great fairness; at other times,
manifests unfairness, but always dis
plays strewdness and ability.
ROBBERS AND MURDERERS.
Much that was stated in our report or
last year may be recitec as evidence that
every actual or threatened interruption.
Of this agreement was by or because of
Federal action, and In proof Of the tact
that the authorities at Washington never
intended from the beginning to carry out
the provisions Of the cartel In good falth=
"a cartel only yvrurg from them by their
prisoners and friends). On the very day
of the date of the instrument the Fed

Lincoln. &5IS issued orders 10 the military

Generals Pope and Steinwhor Issued their

last report All of these orders We're so
