LOYALTY.

1t is understood that the claim
ants for this cotton were, in gen
eral, adherents to the Southern
cause. The act, Sec. l62, above
quoted, reviyes the earlier act of
Congress approved March Y, '63,
and gives a remedy under the pro-
visions of that act. One of
the provisions of that act is that
payments shall be made to any
person applying to the Court of
Claims upon proving his owner.
ship of the cotton "and that he
has never given any aid or com
fort to the present rebellion" " 1t
is also provided in Sec. 159 of the
Judicial Code Immediately pre-
cedlng the section quoted in re-
gard to cotton claims that the
claimant, and, where the claim
has been assigned, the original
and every prior owner thereof, if
a citizen, has at all times borne
true allegiance to the government
OF the United States, and, whether
"A citizen or net, has not in any
way voluntarily aided, abetted, or
given encouragement to rebellion
against the said government. "
1t is expressly provided that
these statements may be traversed
by the government and that the
petition shall be dismissed if the
decision is against the claimant
on this issue.
1t was decided by the Supreme
Court of the United States in the
year 1870, under the original ACT
of 1863, that a person who had
aided the cause Of the south could
plead under that act that he had
been pardoned by one of the proc.
lamations of the president ISSUED
in 1865, 1867 and 1868. The last
was a proclamation of genera
amnesty. The Supreme Court
said of the pardon, 1T blots out
the offenses and removes all its
penal consequences" 1t was
thereforefore decided that the plea
Of pardon was equivalent to con
tinuous support of the Unions
cause throughout the war and
that no proof Of actual loyalty tc
the United States was necessary
4 in those cotton cases.
! We believe that this doctrine
applies to the act of 1911 as well
as it did to the act of 1863 and are
confident that it will be so.decided

GIl.ISBURG CLOSING.

The Gillsburg Collegiate lnsti-

term. Sunday the commence
ment sermon was preached by
Rev. H. T. Cornish, Of Denham
Springs, La. Monday night was
the annual concert. Promptly at
s o'clock the curtain was raised
for the first act, and throughout
until a late hour we were delight
fully entertained. Every scholar
did well, showing that they had
been thoroughly trained by a
painstaking faculty. Gillsburg
should be proud OF the showing
made. 1t is plain to the observer
that they still have the kind Of tai
ent that has madea name for her
school that is equaled by few
schools this size, and surpassed
by none.
