of life and liberty. Between the foes
who fought, and fell (and be there honor
to the brave) there is an eternal truce
but between the survivors; so long as
tyranny, perfdy, and baseness are perpe-
trated by the one, and the meanest of
siavish chains put upon the other, there
must be.a distinctive expression of na-
tional emotion. They mourn the ashes
Of mortality; we. the life longsdeatb of
the .Southerner's freedom. There may
be a brotherhood of sentiment in the
blood shed on either side, yet they con-
tend that the myriad of their slain was
for the purpose Of Defeating REBEL
LION. We claim thatthe walls of fraternal
BREASTS, and rivers of kindred blood, were
barred to the shock, and drained to the last
drop. to save an inalienable heritage
from spoilation. The end is; they are
boasted free; we are fettered; Shall we
kiss the hand that smites, or must we
applaud the homage they demand of us
in. our degradation. Rather let there be,

garlands on their dead, we envy them
not, we accord them the right. To us
may there always remain an anniversary,
when in tears and sadness, our women
may leave their "harps upon the viii

press of eternal mourning over graves,

DECORATION DAY.

Some conservatives, whose zeal to bridge
the chasm, induces them to sacrifice the
remnant of respect they pretend to hold
for the memory Of the Sapffde6stba bpaa 81
tributary honor for the slain of their de-
stroyers, have earned what they deserve: :
snub, from the Union officers who were
in charge of the preparations for the de-
coration of the federal graves. The orr
der was issued that no flowers should be
strewn upon Confederate graves, when
the ceremony of garlanding those of the
Federals, was being carried out. A
murmur of outraged feelings was heard
here and there, but we regard the order
asconsistent and proper for more reasons
than one. The dead of the North may
be IS dear to their homes, as are the dead
of the South to ours, but the emotions
that invite the tender offerings of the ono
side, are far removed and estrangcd from
the bowling sympathies of the other
Theirs is battle won; Ours a cause lost
Theirs tyranny established. Ours a
freedom departed. Side by side fell the
wearers of the bluo aud the gray, their
bones whiten the ensanguined field, and
their hands are nerveless by the common
fate of death, and to each is his mead of
praise due, according to his convictions
of duty, and patriotism. But in accord
ing that praise, let there be. no compro-
mise of devotion to truth and principle,
that will condemn the grave ofthe gray,
to wear no proudcr wreath, at The hands
Of HIS kindred, than is strewn above the
mound of the blue. We cannot expect
the same at the hands of those who dec
orate the federal graves, and why should
we cavil against them, for exercising
privilege, which we carefully reserve ana
hold dear to ourselves? To mock the
sincerity Of their motives is to asperse,
the dictates of cornmon humanity. To
expect Northern widows, mothers, and
daughters, to cnshrine the Lost Cause"
in glorious memory, is morbid senti-
mcntalism, that they from their stand
point, as freely reject, as our women MUST
and over shall, the cruel fate that leaves
them without n country to claim, or
national fame to boast. The fate of both
who fell was common, but the cause up
held by either, was to the one an ism of

The second, annual Shutzenfest of the
Irish Rife Club, wasss celebrated with as
much spirit as was possible, when the.
thermometer pointed up toward the nine
ties. Active amusements were out of the
questions. except to the votaries. of Terp.
sichore, who inspired by the melodious
music, of the bands, courageously glided
through the mazcs of the dance, although
one experienced an uncomfortable feel

patriotic feelings however which coGId
not vent themselves in games, &C., were
developed strongly in the numerous

continued and we were fain to leave

contentedly listening, as if they had but
just commenced-an amusing feature,
was the browning of each "Demos thenesn

few as compared to those of the first fest.
Tilting was engaged in by n Cavalry
Company, but we are inclined to believe
neither horses nor men enjoyed it, the
spectators certainly could not, as cloud
of dust was raised at each charge, and
the efforts required to keep it out of ones
eyes prevented q satisfactory view of the
performance.
