ana political rights soemnly guaranteed 10 them by
amendments TO the constitution And yet, General,
you have TIE hardihood OF charging this man with
disloyalty, and are utternr this foolish charge in
your assumed capacity as the representative OF al
the tnlon soldiers OF the land.
l0u say he has been guilty OF q lack OF courtesy
toward us. In my judgment any man who, eight
years after The close OF bloody civil war, VIII ask
soldiers 10 assemble III convention with view OF
controlling their action in political matters is u
uehiagogue unworthy or courtesy at the hands OF
MI Greeley or any other person. When, at the close
Oh the war, we laid down our arms we became ctl-
zehs ana we have no interests to-day except those
we nave in common with all other citizens. Why,
tlen should any one ask u.s. in our character as sol
dlers, TO assemble IN political Dodles2 Why should
you extend TO us such an invitation unless II is
with the hope that from your former connection
with US In the army YOU may be able to influence
our Judgment upon matters OF public policy in
a time OF peace? DO you not think, General that
these assemblies OF soldiers for the purpose Of per-
iectng our elections have become slightly nauseat
ing to the public Did II ever occur TO you that,
as q rule, the officers most active III work OF this
nature were most unsuccessful In the field
Permit me, in conclusion, to say that do not
believe that in your action at PittshurQ, or In the
sentiments OF the address TO which have alluded,
you are in any sense OF the word representative
OF the real soldiers OF the army. On the contrary,
feel that very many OF them unite with me in the
hope that this political campaign, In which you
seem TO have assumed the position OF commander,
may prove to you and to the troops OF your COM
mand another Fredericksburg. Very truly yours,

amount of business doing this week in the prin-

the lateness Of the season, the intervt OF
the holidays, the scarcity Of freights, the limited
supplies Of E'any Of the leading articles, the
s.r!ngeney of the money market, and the gener-
al inactivity of trade hare and elsewhere. The
volume OF business is, however, not large, tho
fully equal to what might he expected, taking
into consideration the various drawbacks TO &C
