Y(tt donned the gray, we put on the blye -4-and the place upon which we stahd today is the one upon which thegrejit argument in the long contest ws made. : i "There was more or less of intense feeling involved; and yet I think:! speak the words of truth and sober ness when 1 say that, solar as e were concerned, there was nothing of personal animosity or bitterness or hate involved m the contest. Mj own case is that which will douhtlefls illustrate many, many similar pnea. My mother lived in . PennBylvhni. She had three boys who word the blue. Her only Bister and the 'only other child of her father, lived in Virginia. Her three boys wore the gray. They served in the army f northern vu-gima; we served, lor the most part in the army of the Poto mac. Oar deadly shots were aimeii at each other in battles of the) war i which those two armies confronted each other. Did that fact, think Tot., obliterate the love which those siiteiis bore to each other, or that whict ani mated their sons T Nay, verily. fvu our Bide the war was one oi principles: of abstract ideas largely!; on your side we admit, with j our views of what was to be expected & he future., your property nghtsan3 private interests were directly inolr- ed, and hence the more intense feei ing and ardor which you displayed jtou as honorable men have stood by, and are bound to stand by, thev de cision. We, as ' honorable men are bound to see to it that that decision is respected, and that yon shalnc be called upon to admit ' morei, or tr promise more than is involved in th decision. Upon this platform 1 w meet here today- Upon this platrnj we stand as citizens of a common ooontry. In standing upon itw claim no supenonty over you;o admit no inferiority to us. If such feeling straggled for place in sou hearts, the issues of this neid sneuidl determine that question. Youar Our equals in courage, our equals iis perseverance and our equals in iate ligence, oar equals in all that constK tates and dignifies and adorns fthji American character. You are Amer cans,, and so are we. If the settle? meht of the questions whic natural ly and necessarily grew out Of j:tb decision which the sword made inth. contest in which you wore the ffrav and we wore the blue, wer,e left t u who fought they would have dopbt less been more fully and more satis factorily settled long ago than they are today.

Chaplain McCabe, of Virginia, fffhq was to have responded to Gov. Beaver in behalf of the southern men, fas, owing to a railroad delay, unable to. be present, and Gen. Hooker, of Hisf sissippi, took his place. Although he spoke extemporaneously, his effort was a splendid one. He said in suIk stance that he did not come here to say anything, but he had been moyecj; by the generous spirit which extend, ed the invitation to the soldiers of the gray to meet those of the blue on this; occasion.

It states that a largt thtre of the report of the Senate coiniait tee on pensions (adopted ij the HouBe committee) consists of a peti tion in which the woman says that herhusband (who had served in a New Jersey regiment) left her f in 1865 and has not been heard of since. She bad received a pension as the widow of Daniel Doherty till it was" discovered that he was alive and living in Philadelphia, and was him self drawing a pension there, he had succeeded in getting a pension in the first instance by much false swearing. The police record of Wash ington ("where she has been living) showed her to be a woman of very bad character, and that she had been . under arrest nine times for drunken ness, larceny, creating disturbances and other misdemeanors. The theory seemed . to be established, the Presi dent, says, that no man who has,' served in the army could be a subject of death or of impaired health ex cept as the result of army service medical theories being set at naught,' Even suicide was traced by divers' and wonderfully curious ways to sjr-;. vice in the army and adjudications of the pension bureau were overruled in the most peremptory fashion by Bps-? cial acts of Congress. The President would yield to no man, he says, irt a desire to see those who had defend ed the Government liberally treat ed. The unfriendliness to veter&n soldiers was a charge easily and sometimes dishonestly 'made. The true soldier was a good citizen and' would be satisfied with generous, fftir and equal treatment. The pension list of the Republic should be a roll of honor, not a matter oi indiscrimii nate alms-giving. He had attempted to stem the tide of improvident pen sion enactments bat he still felt, a; ahare of responsibility in letting tod many of them become laws. The belt and messago were referred to the; committee on pensions, as were two other! pension vetoes one, on the ground that death had no connec idri, With service in the army, and the other on the ground that the recorlls' did hot show that the soldier In question (said to have been an Officer killed in the Custer massacre): was in that expedition, ' - '. The conference lepo: t on the agri cultural appropriation bill was pre sented and explained in detail by Mr. Plumb. On one point the committee; had been unable to agree; that was, the item inserted by the Senate, m&k ing ah appropriation of $100,000 Tor! continuing experiments in the maniM facture of sugar from sorghum. Tho conference report was concurred in and a further conference was asked on the sorghum item. " A conference was ordered on the postoffioe .appropriation bill and Sen' ators Plumb, Allison and Beck wore appointed. 5 The Senate then at 140 (instead pi adjourning) took a recess till 2-30 to give time for the enrollment of cer tain bills requiring the signature Of the presiding officers of both houses. After patiently but vaihiy waiting a quarter of an hour for the bills (rec tifying blunders in tin legislative appropriation bill) to be sent over from the House, so as to be signed by the presiding officer, the Senate at 2 45 adjourned' till Monday. HOUSE. 5. The House went into committee of the whole on the bill for settle ment of the claim of the State of Florida on account of expenditures incurred in suppressing Indian hos tilities, and for other purposes. Mr,. IJougberty, of r lorida, spoke briefly upon the merits of the bill, setting out the emergency which had A&llnrl fnrth tha ATnnnditnrAH. arid maintaining the justice and equity 6f the measure. Mr.Whitthorno, of Tennessee, and Mr. Davidson, of Florida, also advo cated the passage of the bill, point' ns to precedent in the case of the payment of o similar claim of State of Texas, and declaring - that there could be no question of the lia bility of the government. Mr. Jierr, of Iowa, did not believe that the government should pay ip teres t on money expended as was proposed by the bill. It had not done so heretofore in such cases and any rule should be general. Mr. Jackson, of Pennsylvania, said parties seeking equity should come with Clean hands, lhe represents tives of the State of Florida, had ob structed the passage of a bill to re fund the direct tax to other States and deserved none here. The bill proposed tho appropriation oi an ag gregate sum tbat could only be wildly guessed at- The morning hour hav inor expired the bill went over with out action. Mr. Holman called up the Senate land errant forfeiture bill with the amend ments made by the House committee. As amended by the House committee, the bill, which, as it came" from the Senate; proposed to forfeit grants applying to lands lying opposite por tions or aided roads not now com Acted, daclares tbe forfeiture of ands lying opposite those portions of roads not completed at the time specified in the granting acts. After the substitute had been read amend ments were offered as follows: : By Mr. Ston?, of Missouri, to de clare the ccmplete forfeiture of an entire grant where the road was sot , completed in time. . a j Mr. Fayaon, of Illinois, repre sen ting the .minority of the commit tee, to confine forfeitures to lands op posite portions of roads not now completed. By Mr. Stockdale, of Mississippi, and Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, except ing lands granted to the Gulf & Ship Island and the Girard & Mobile rail road companies and Bold to actual settlers by the States for taxes. Mr. Holman explained the nature of the proposition before the House coming from the committee, and pmted out the difference in effect between it and the Senate bill. He Wd ti.at thu -Seaie bill would de clare a forfe tu e of 5.628,436 acres, hilo the peed ng, b U would WOlk i fc5rfei4ur of ."! :S2 .'.'.6 acres sub ject to bona ji'U R:lt-a to settlers. As ;ie was a gumg that rauroada had no right to sell lauds lying aloDg the uncompleted portions of their lines, Mr. Payson interrupted him to ask if he did not know that the Supreme Court had laid down precisely the opposite doctrine Mr. Holman declined to be inter rupted and continued his explanation of the features of the bill. He held that the lands were sold in many" cases to speculators, but even though it was going furtrer than just ce re quired, the committee had recom mended that to the extent that the roads had been completed, tbe sales made to bona fide purchasers should be confirmed. This would leave a dec laration of forfeiture solely as a mat ter between the government and tho corporations who themselves had no claim on the forbearance of Congress. He then went on at length to defend the course of the Democratic party in the matter of granting lands to railroad companies. Mr. Herbert, of Alabama, bpoke briefly to his amendment urging the justice of confirming tho titles of bona fide purchasers of lands of the Girard and Mobile grant. Mr. Clements, of Georgia, gave notice that he should vote for a meas ure which promised the largest resti tution to the people of their lands, so that they might secure homes. He did not believe that the conduct and management of these railroads toward the Government had been such as to demand any consideration or sympathy beyond their strict legal rights. Therefore, the limit of tho power of Congress to for'eit these lands was the only limit whicn he should ; consider. -There was no nioro pressing obligation upon Congress than to pans this . bill, and he would vote 'or the largest forfeiture and leave the railroads to secure their rights in the courts if there were any doubt about the power of Congress. This great public domain, acquired and earned by the sacrifice of tie trea8ureand ttateemanship of oar fathers, was the heritago of the peo- Ele and should be reclaimed 'Or their omes. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, was in favor of the forfeiture of every acfe of the lands that could legally be for feited. Bat unfortunately tbe courts had decided that a total forfeiture could not be declare 1 and that dis posed of the report of the gentlemen from Missouri and Arkansas (Messrs. Stone and McR&e) as to the positiqu taken by the chairman of the com mittee (Mr. Holman) It was the most utterly illogical position ever taken by a lawyer, lhe fact that many of the grants were impolitic and ought never to have been made had nothing to do with the present proceeding, tfhe question was what could and should be doue. He fa vored the amendment presented by the minority of the committee. Mr. Stockdale pleaded for the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad, holding that it bad not bad an opportunity to com ply with the terms of the gran-, but was now hard at work, and he wished to save what had been already done. In concluding the debate Mr. Holman advised the House that the Senate bill meant nothing and tbat member s would be deceiving the country by pass ing it. rhe first proposition in order was Mr. Stone's amendment to make the forfeiture complete as to all lands where the terms of the grant had not been complied witb. Upon a yeacr nay vote the amendment was re jected, yeas Q0, nays KM lhe amendment oaered bv Mr. Stockdale excepting the Gulf atul Ship Island grant was next rejected without division. Mr. Herbert's motion to amend so as to confirm the title to lands sold by the Girard k Mobile Riil road Company met with a like fate and tho question was then put on Mr. Pay- son s minority amendment (similar to the Senate bill). Tho yeas 'and naji being taken, the amendment was re eded by a vote of yeas 71, nays 92. The . committee s substitute was then adopted, and the question re curring on the passage of tho bill aa amended, the vote resulted yeas 141, nays 12. No quorum. So the House at 6.05 adiourned, leaving the bill as unfinished business. The Kanaaa DimsenU. By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Leavenworth, July 5.

Pitibbcro, Pa , July 5, The pres ent iron lockout presents a curious and important contrast to the great strike of 1882. At that time the nail ers as well as the iron and steel work ers, demanded an advance and all the nail factories were closed down and on a strike. This year the nail man ufacturers did not- go in with the Association of Manufacturers of Iron, Steel and Rails, in demanding a re duction in wages and presented no scale signing the scale of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the fac tories are running as usual. The Eastern and Western nail manufacturers, at their meeting in Pittsburg in the early part of last month, agreed upon a uniform scale of prices and practically formed a joint pool for the maintenance of these prices. Under this agreement it is not necessary to amalgamate with the iron and steel men, as while nails can be maintained at $1.90a2 20 the present rate of wages can be paid. The Amalgamated Association counts on this source for derivipg revenue to maintain resistence against a re duction and considers that it has entered the present conflict much better prepared to secure a victory than in 1882, when it was necessary to bght the nan manufacturers as well. vhicaoo, July 0. A lpcal paper says: Whatever the result of the struggle between iron and steel man ufacturers and their men at Pitts burg, it is safe to say that the Chicago manufacturers will continue to keep open their mills and run them at their full capacity. The truth .of the mat ter is that Chicago has the bulge on Pittsburg just at the present time, and to all appearances it is a bulge that will last. In the matter of steel rail" manufacture and iron manufact ure too for that matter Chicago has the advantage of pretty much all, if not every one of, its competitors. The Chicago manu facturers are making money and lotB of it and far-sighted men profess to believe that! inside of fifteen years this city will be the centre of the steel and iron manufacturing industry. In the steel industry there are three principal factors outside; of labor, coke, ore audi markets. The latter may be considered first. The mar ket of the United States for steel railsjs the northwest; Three-fourths of the steel rails made are used in the northwest. In other words, Chicago is ahead ofPittsburg.Youngstown and other neighboring points just exactly the cost of shipping the i output of steel rails between Pittsburg and Chicago, being that much hearer mar ket. It is now generally understood that at no point cau coke and ore be brought together more readily and with less cost than here- One of the largest firms of the country, which was operating a plant at est. Louis, closed it up a few months ago for the reason that it could not get ore Iron Mountain ore is being practically exhausted. Taking everything into consideration, it is Btated that Chicago mills are now able to turn out steel rails an least $5 cheaper than they could las year. Consequently, at $32 per ton this year they are making just as much as they were last year at f 37 In fact; they are making mere, for the reason that they are turning out more rails. The men are satisfied, not withstanding the ten per cent reduc tion, because they are making more money on account of the increased production A VERY HE4V V ITOlilf Tit Danger to Caltl of Wlr Fence.

By Telegraph to the News and Observer. Baltimore, July 5. The convention of Democratic clubs had its second session this morning at the' Academy of Music. When the hour for the opening arrived not more than 150 delegates were m their seats, bat the lobbies and halls were well filled. William E. "ussell, of Massa chusetts, temporary chairman, call ed the convention to order at half past ten o'clock. He stated that he had received numerous telegrams from various sec tions of the country wishing the con vention success in its work. One of the telegrams stated that over a hun dred clubs had been organized in Indiana and that they were going to carry the State for Cleveland and Thurman. The report of the commit tee on resolutions was presented by J. B. Gathnight, of Kentucky and was as follows: The delegates of the Democratic clubs of the United States in con vention assembled give their hearty endorsement to the platform adopted by the National Democratic Conven tion and pledge their enthusiastic sup port to its candidates. We declare our most emphatic approval pf the wise, progressive and patriotic administra tion of President Cleveland and our belief that the general interests of the whole country require that he should be given a second term in the Presi dency which his conscientious and fearless discharge of its duties enti tles him ta receive. We warmly com mend the nomination of Allen G. Thurman for Vice-President as that of an honored Democratic statesman of long experience and high ability, qualified in every way to adorn that office and stand next in succession to the President. We give our hearty endorsement to the sound and cour ageous message of President Cleve land at the opening of Congress, and we rejoice at the coming passage by the Democratic majority of the House of Representatives of the bill for effecting a genuine reform of the op pressive war taxes. The platform was adopted by ac clamation amid a perform storm of cheers. The report of the committee on credentials, which agreed simply on the number of clubs sent by each Sta'e, was adopted and Chairman Carfran, of the committee on perma nent organization, submitted his re port, which named Hon. J. W. Winans, cf Wi sconsm, for president of the convention. Mr. Winans' name was greeted with mighty cheers and the report was adopted without dis cussion. The newly elected president was escorted to the chair by S. R. Carfran, of West Virginia, Sidney Clarke, of Kansas, and J. V. Tuttle, of Wiscon sin. Upon taking the chair, Mr. Winans briefly addressed the conven tion, returning thanks for the high honor conferred on him, and stating that the object of the Catherine was to devise ways and means to defeat the enemy of our public institutions. He predicted that they would march on to victory and that the principles of Democracy would .for four years more spread their benign influence over the country. At the conclusion of his f iress three cheers were given,'' Mr. Winans, three for the StaUi of New Jersey, the State of his birth, and three lor Wisconsin, whence he now hails. The first official act of Mr. Winans was to put the motion for a vote of thanks to Chairman Russell which was carried. Congressman Tarsney, of Michigan, chairman of the ; committee on per manent organization, made the report of that committee and submitted the constitution of the National Associa tion of Democratic Clubs. The plan proposed was lor the selection of a President and one Vice President from each State.and Territory.a secre tary and a treasurer, lhe iollowing names were recommended for officers of the" Association: President, Hon. Chaunrey F. Black, of Pennsylvania; Secretary, Edward B. Whitney,'of New York; Treasurer, Geo. H. Lambert, of New Jersey. It was suggested that each otate name its Vice-President and four executives before the convention adjourned. A delegate from Baltimore obtained permission to introduce a resolution in reference to the joint assembly of soldiers of the blue and tho gray at Gettysburg. The resolution stated that the delegates and the convention were in sympathy with the spirit shown by the soldiers of the two armies now united at Gettysburg. It was unanimously adopted. Recess Uencral Lonf lire ct at Gettysburg. Cor. ol the News and Observer. Gen. Longstreet in his speech at Gettysburg, on tbe 2d inst., referring to his assault on the 3d day, praises Pickett's Jand Trimble's troops, but carefully ignores Heth's. "Why is this All soldiers know that the number cf killed is the one and only test of pluck and endurance. Besides five North Carolina and three Missis sippi regiments there were troops;from Tennessee, Alabama and Virginia in Heth's Division and all of them be haved gallantly except the left brigade, which was Brockenborough's Virginia, and its loss in killed in this battle was twenty-nve or five to the regiment. Pickett's fifteen (Vircinia regiments had two hundred and twenty-four, an average of nearly fifteen to the regiment. I have never! seen the casualties of the 11th Mis sissippi but the number of killed 1Q the 2d and 42d Mississippi added to that of the five North Carolina regiments was three and thirty-eight and an hundred average to tne regiment oi something over forty-eight. The fire of Cemetery Hill was concentrated upon Heth's Division, and at the close of the charge its organization was to a great extent broken up; but, with the excep tion of the left brigade, th a disor ganization was caused by deaths and wounds. Pickett's Divaion, when fif- teen nunareu oi tnem surrendered in an open field, was better organized, but this fact was owing entirely to their comparatively small loss in 1 killed and wounded.

A special from Water Valley, Miss., to the Times-Democrat sayB: Our little city, which rmtil noon yesterday was one continuousjround of enjoyment was in mourning in the evening. The Yallobusha Fire Association had made the usual preparations for their' an nual Fourth of July meeting, and an immense crowd from neighboring towns and villages had assembled to witness the days sport, and at 1 clock, when about four hundred had taken their seats on the errand stand, the building gave way and fell with a crash, burying in its ruins men, women and children. Indescribable excitement and confusion followed. Strong men turned pale at the scene, mothers screamed for their lost chil dren and whole families were pinion ed, as it were, in a solid mass under the debris. Those who were bo for tunate as to be on the outside rushed to the rescue, and in a short time the imprisoned victims were released. Something near fifty people were taken out with broken arms and" imbs, bruised bodies and almost every conceivable wound. But it so happened that no one was killed out right. At this time it is impossible to give a list of the wounded, some of whom it is thought cannot live. One member of the band had an arm broken, another a leg broken and a third was slightly wounded.

Parr, Jr., of Tarboro, seconded the majority report of tbe committee On resolutions. Mr. Parr's address was received with round after round of cheera and he had an ovation as he left the stage. He put both our feet squarely on the platform and told New York to come to North Carolina for sound Demo cratic doctrine. His allusions to the Solid South as the bulwark of the nation's liberties and the home of her hopes carried the convention by storm, and his exposition of practical politics won hearty laughter and ap plause. Senator GoriL - j ame to our headquarters to congra. .late us on our sound Democracy and to say that on the committee floor we had ren dered distinguished service to this cause. He says the position taken by Smith on the organization committee and by Ashley on resolutions were splendidly chosen and ably sustained, and that Parr's talk was the speech of the convention. We are loaded with congratulations wherever we turn. Only sorry our deWat'ou is not larger. We have sijtue 30 .uctnberaKn all. The National Democratic Negro League was recognized in the organization and quite a num ber of colored faces appeared among the western delegations. They are good looking, intelligent men and two speeches by representatives of the raco were received this morning with demonstrations of approval and loud applause. It. E. Jones (colored) presented the chair with a gavel made from wood out of Allen Thur tnan'B house and urged the people of his race to work for a new emancipa tion from their slavery to the selfish domination of Radicalism.

With no signs of public excitement the third Lambeth conference was opened, and nearly all the bishops who have accepted invitations were present- They robed in the guard room. The junior colonial prelates walked first in the procession. The tall and commanding form Of the Archbishop of York toirered above bis brethren. But it is noteworthy how many more intellectual prelates those of Durham, Gloucester, Bris tol wad, ItipoD, for siastance were small of Btatme, and the Primate him- t self is not tall. The eight American bishons walked by the side of home prelates and in the rest of the procession, preceded by Sir John Deane, the vicar general; Sir John Hassard, the principal regis trar general, and Sir John Hanham. the apparitor general, came the Arch bishop of Canterbury, having on his sides the Archbishop of York and the BiBhop of London, and followed by the Dean of Windsor and his other chaplains. X he scene in the chapel was unioue. there being nearly one hundred and fifty bishops present from all parts of the world, exercising their func tions when at home under a variety of most dissimilar circumstances. The "Vem Creator" was. the introit, and the Archbishop of Canterbury was of course celebrant. After the service the Archbishop entertained his Episcopal brethren at luncheon, and the first session com menced at half-past two with nothing occurring today of moment. lhe Pan-Anglican Conference has a rival in the Pan Presbyterian Coun cil, whose proceedings began in Exe ter Hall today, and to which some three hundred representatives have been delegated from all parts of tie world. An opening sermon and a garden party at Argyll Lodge were included in the coming programmes for relaxation. John Ilopklu 1'nlvarsitjr. Cor. of the News apd Observer. Several days ago I saw in the col umns of your paper a brief paragraph to the effect that the new Register of the Johns Hopkins University was out, and that thirty scholarships were offered to students from North Caro lina and Virginia. I have before me a copy of the new Register, and it -may be well to quote what is said in regard to these scholarships. The Saragraph headed "Scholars from i orth Carolina and Virginia" reads as followf: "The experience of twelve years has led the authorities to believe that the Hopkins Scholar ships allotted to North Carolina and Virginia will be more useful if offered" to graduate students rather than un dergraduates. Accordingly these hon ors will hereafter be awarded like Fellowships by the Academic Coun cil. Fifteen are open to" students -from Virginia, add fifteen to students . from North .Carolina, who have re-" ceived a creditable baccalaureate de- free, or its equivalent For each tate there will be nine ordinary and six honorary scholarships. The first selection will be made in October next from students then in residence here. Applications in writing should be filed at the president's office prior to October 1st, 1888." " The nine ordinary scholarships pay free tuition only, while the six hon orary scholarships pay free tuition and ilOO stipend. It will be remembered that hither to these scholarships were offered only to under-graduate students from North Carolina and Virginia; and, as only very few under-graduate stu dents have gone from these States; they were practically useless. Be sides, it seems hardly fair that the Hopkins University should come in direct competition with the colleges of these States. I do not think that the founder intended that it should be so. Indeed, I heard a gentleman who knew Johns Hopkins well, say time and again that one of the ob jects he had in view in founding the University was in some measure to recompense the States of North Car olina,aMarylandand Virginia, from whose borders he gathered a large part of his vast wealth. If I mistake not there is some such expression in V T. L X. i 3 1 nits wm. Dit, uereiuiurc, m grauiutbe student from either of these States stood no more chance of receiving aid from the University than a grad uate student from any other State; or, as for thatmatter, from Japan. And since the opening of the Uni versity a large majority of the stu dents from these States, at least from worth uarouna and Virginia, nav been graduate students. From North Carolina there have been only two or three under graduates in . attendance there. Mr. Charles Lee Smith, of North Carolina, should be credited with preparing the statistics which largely influenced the trustees in their action; and special thanks are due Dr. Her- -bert B. Adams, Associate Professor of History and director of the His torical Department, who was . one OI the prime movers in this much-needed change. Waltib P. Stbadut. ' Edward B.
