We marched w: I-ee and stood with "Stonewail,' an rode with Stuart, and to the remotes generaCons posterity will tell the stor, as we tell now of Thermopyle and o Bannockburne. Wnatprouderheiita, can we leave our children and our chil dren',children than the sabres we bore "fnformation, observation and refiec tion for twenty-four years have con vinced me that the war wouid nev have been waged against the South e:: c -p. for the -profit there was in it, an( t hat the agitation against us is carr on since only for the pensions that ar to be got. The war was a contractors war, and the agitation is a bounty-pen s!on agitation. Let therin write thei own history, we have made ours! "Iercenaries have enlisied in every war since the beginning of time, and they have their place. Fortitude, fidel ity, endurance, devotion to high ideals of truth aaa honor have their place too. And in the days of trial that will surely r:>me when belief in God, and truth, and justice and right muststand against worship of Mammon, lust of goid, greediness and materialism, in defense of the rights of the people against the power of the plutoc-acy, then the whole world will turn for assistance and relief to the men whose ancestors, on so many battlefields by so much blood and suf fering and pover , testified their de votion to liberty, to order, to truth and right. Yours truly, "BsA D ..;'r T. Jo 6os." Is not this a most remarkabie sug gest:ve incident? I leave it to sneak for itself. I would much iather be the dead lions who this shaft was intended to commemorate than the '!ve animals practic~cg the&r heels against the 2d Maryland monument. To my mind it appears almost fiend ish. The hyena is the most cowardly of all wild beasts, and yet the most -ferocious-in the graves of the dead. He has a counterpart, I think, in the "Abe Patterson Post," and Governor Beave" is not far behind them in invading the graves of the dead Marylanders. He is "srongly in favor of the Government making an appropriation to erect mark ers on the positions occupied by the Confederate commands as a matter of history." A "Government appropri ation," you see, covers all the objections to "treason and disloyalty," because there is job in it for somebody in Peio svlvania. Bow "treason and disloyalty" is to be "fostered" by accepting an invitation i:om the "truly loyal" to erect a monu ment -'as a matter of history," with an P1[Pn.9 titaaW r'o toned down lest the truth would wound and shock the loyal heart, I cannot comprehend. This incident is not with out its value to us as an object lesson. 1 am happy ,o believe tbat the senti ments expressed in these resolutions and concurred in by Governor Beave I are not shared by many of the hono: rable soldiers of the North, especially those who distinguished themselves so conspicuously on the Gettysburg hattle ijeld. They are suaficiently well sasih fled with t beir ow-n achievements as to be free from apprehension that they will be marr'ed or tarnished by to proximity of a monument of their equally gallant opponents. When we have monuments to erect hereafter let's plant them on our own soil. The presence of monuments to worthy and gaP'ant Federal soldiers i.: our midst will not give us the night mare, or detract f:omn the sacredness of our memorials, or the imperishable re nown of our dead. We iniight widh safety invite Federal "commands" to erect monuments anywhere on the fields of First and Second Mananses, Mu rfreesboro' Frederic ksuur-g or Chic& amauga, without fear of contaminating the record of Lee's and leagg's legions on those te'riiic battlefields. I believe on each of them we buried our own (lead, and the dead of the enemy as well. 'Ma,sers e:ect:d as a matter of b'story" by an "appropriatioa" u:om Cong -ess woul!d not reveal many pos' iloas on those fields within the Con federate lines "captured'; by the Fede rats, ojr even "occu.)ied." If there are any such, let them be marked in accord auce with the - uth of "'historv." It the recordl miade by your galit regi ment soould be consulted, no doubt you could give valuable information as to the location o& some of the lines oi battle on some of those fields. at would be thought of thefR.

But let's dismiss the subject wd Lhe hope that no other Con federaLe or f ganiz~atio nwill accept an invitation a erect another monument outside the Southern borders.

To us there is a puzzle, an ime cable hitcb, in the causeor reasonfe this failure to agree pon some.srt a verdict. - The d.ad itself wasoerianI. a horrible one, and its efeet upon , communit test:imony upon the stand, and -by ' which, of course, the jury are to -be guided, did not, does not, and cannot difer greatly from what has already become a household sto y throughe out the county. Then what Is it, we ask again, that causes this obstinat'. and hcpeless hitch in the jury? Isit the inmpossibillsy of honesty and dis honesty, of responsibility and Irrespoh- ' sibility, likeoll and water,. to mL, tio become reconciled? Hardly so because we have had uim whom we know'to be perfeetlyr honest, or whom we have always behteved so, to tell.us that, from the tesimony, hey could not Isay "gulty."
