Show TREASON BETTER TREATED THAN LOYALTY. If instead of ending the war in 1S65, when their great armies surrendered, surren-dered, the Southern people had continued con-tinued to struggle with desperation, obstinacy and ferocity if they had shown a spirit of uncompromising hostility, in guerrilla warfare, in local outbreaks and other demonstrations of animosity, individuals among iiaem would have been put to death for treason, and others would have suffered suf-fered in proportion; but as a body they would have been far better treated than they have been, and would be to-day infinitely better off than they are.
