MORRIS I do not so charge. Mr. COX. Then you do not make any such charge ? Mr. MORRIS. I do not, and the language will show I do not. In our eflFort3 to suppress this gigantic wrong we have, or soon shall have, expended one thousand million dollars, and filled some three hun- dred thousand new-made graves with murdered citizens. How is this enormous outlay of money to be repaid? Who ought to be punished for this wanton destruction of life ? These are practical questions. These questions are to ...be answeid by the agents of the loyal people here assem- bled. Three hundred thousand innocent men have been sacrificed ; and shall their unoffending offspring now be required to pay the expenses con- sequent upon the overt acts of traitors and parricides ? The real estate of the loyal soldier who sleeps in death at Chattanoga, at Gettysburg, or whose bones bleach uucared for beneath a southern sun, or furnish orna- ments for inhuman mothers, may be sold to raise the taxes assessed to pro- cure a substitute to fill his vacant place in the ranks of our armies.
