WE can't please our neighbors of
the Courier. There is no use trying.
We have made several efforts. and
made complete failure. We despair
of success in that direction. - We
published liberal extracts from the
letter Of Mr.. EDGERToN, its eandi-
date for Lieutenant Governor, to
show his position on the Bond ques-
ton, and we are abused for calling
him a Bondholder. We have not
heard that he has retracted hisletter.
When he does so, and denies over his
own signature that he has not been a
Bondholder, it will be ii me to charge
US with falseheod.
We published, for the benefit Of
our numerous Democratic readers,
Mr.. HENDRICKs' speech, taken from
the New York Herald; and because
we were twenty-four hours in advance
of our neighbor, (who would have
been ahead Of all The Western Press
if they had got the speech out three
days earlier than they did, we put
them in bad shumor with US. We
certainly would not object to the. pub
LEGATION in the Courier of Senator
MoRToN's speech.
Our latest cause of offense is a novel
one in editorial affairs. I'VE areltaken
very seriously to task for the head
lines" which were placed over the
GRANT JOHNSON correspondence in
the JOURNAL of the 9th inst! We
would suggest to our sleepy. cotempo7
rary that it was the most important
news matter which has appeared in
the papers for weeks, and if it had
possessed enough enterprise to
get it before its readers, it.,could
place such " headlines " over the corr
respondence it pleased, without a
word of complaint from US. If the
Courier folks will work little later
at night, and give their readers more
of the news of the day, they will have
less time to growl and read the
Journal moral lectures about head
lines.

o'clock to-day. The meeting was
called to order by COL Ell Long, who
stated the object of the meeting in
brief, after which he moved that Gen.

On motion, General A. G.. Cook

taries pro tenn. 2
The Chairman of the meeting then
stated that Col. Stanley Matthews had
been selected by the Committee of
Arrangements to deliver the address

named General officers had taken
seats in front, where they could be
observed by all: Lieutenant General

The address of welcome was spoken
in clear and distinct tone, and with
great earnestness and fervency of
feeling; and as each officer who had,
from the beginning of the existence
OF that great army, commanded it,
was alluded to, the applause was
most enthusiastic. At the mention of
the name of General Rosecrans,
cheer after cheer went up for
several minutes; but when the men,
ton of General George Ell. Thomas
name was made, the widest enthusi-
asm prevailed. 1t was one spontane-
GUS outburst of admiration, and every
man rose to his feet and continued
the applause until that brave soldier
and pure patriot rose In acknowledge
ment Of the honor his former COM
rades were wont to do him. The APP
plause was only equaled by that which
burst forth at the mention of the
name of General Sherman. who also
rose in acknowledgment of the honor.
There were not less than six hundred
present, the greater portion of whom
were compelled to stand, in conse-
quence OF the hall being so small.
After the close of the speech,
vote of thanks was rendered Colonel
Matthews for the manner in which
he had discharged the duty of wei
coming his former fellow soldiers. A
