Secretary BristOW's Decoration Day
Grafton.

LOUISVILLE, May 29.-In his ration
to-day, Secretary Bristow said:
The two grand results of the war which
more than compensate the country for all
its sad bereavements and vast expend-
itures, and waste Of money and
property, are the extinction of
slavery and the recognized indiSsolubility
of our national union. The time is not far
distant when these will be accepted as
blessings by the people Of every section.
The men Of the South will sooner or later
admit that success in what they undertook
would have been a greviOus misfOrtue, even
to themselves. What they may think
Of their action in the past is
Of little moment, so far as
it can affect the present and future interests
of the country. What We have right to
expect and insist upon is practical loyalty,
in the future, to the country, and a cheer
ful obedience to its constitution and laws.
Mere historical and sentimental loyalty is
of far less consequence; we ask no sacrifice
of conviction, no humiliation.
While we must differ from those who
sought to dissolve the Union, and look
from a different stand point upon the his
tory of the struggle that ensued, we may
cOncede to them the right to hold such
opinions as they like in respect to the past,
and claim from them only a cheerful and
hearty loyalty to the present.

ditiOntO voting themselves a cash cOmpen-
pausatiOn for their services, retained $780,
600 worth of land, for which they have
never accounted; that some Of the directors

WASHINGTON.
The Decoration Ceremonies at
Arlington.
Half-Pay for the Army Until
Congress Meets.
A Formidable Black Hills Ring.


! WAsHINGrOy. May %. To-day having
| been set apart for the decoration of the
Union soldiers graves it is generally OBJ
served as a holiday. All the public de
! partments and banks are closed and other
business for the most part suspended.
/ Flags are displayed from the public build
/ ings and private establishments. The
| principal point Of attraction was the Ar
IingtOn cemetery, where an Grafton was
delivered by Rev. DR.. John p. Newman,
and an original poem recited by Rev. DR..
j. Z. Rankin. The Marine Band was in
attendance and large number of citizens
participated in the ceremonies. Among
the prominent visitors were the President
and members Of the Cabinet.
The Southern Memorial Association will
decorate the graves of the Confederate
dead Tuesday next. There viii be no
Grafton nor music. On account of the
backwardness of the season flowers are
scarcer than heie tofOre though the govern
ment lighthouses made a generous contri-
button.
The President has appointed Charles p.
Lincoln, Of Mississippi Consul Of the
United States at Canton, China.
The Noble Red Men.
About One-halt of the Indians were taken
to Arlington Cemetery, to-day, to witness
the decoration ceremonies. The remainder
lOunged about their rooms, half naked,
sleeping or playing cards.
A Poor Show for the Army.
Special to the Cincinnati COmmeleial
The army will fare rather badly next
month. It is asceItained that the appropri-
alton for the pay Of the army for the cur
rent fiscal year is inadequate, and in conse-
quence, the officers and soldiers will receive
only fifteen days pay at the end Of June,
instead Of for a full month. The deficiency
will have to be madeup by the next Congress.
They will receive full pay up to the end Of
this month, an !, as on the first of July the
new appropriation will be available, the
embarrassment will be but temporary.
Black Hills Ring.
The existence of a Black Hills Ring,
composed Of some OF the highest adminis-
tTatiOn officials and fuglemeng whose pur-
pose it is to force the Black Hills country
from the Indians, for the benefit almost
solely Of the ring, will probably be salts
factOrily demonstrated within a few DAYS.
Army officers, as we'll as White House poll
ticians, are alleged TO be in the ring, and
the President and Secretary of the Interior
are apparently serving them with cheerful
zeal.
Whisky Ring Prosecutions.
Instructions were sent, to-day, by the At
tOrney General to the various District At
tO-neys directing them to commence prose-
CutiOns against all the members Of the
whisky ring. The Government is expe-
rienciBg some difficulty in hiring addi-
tiOnal counsel, owing to the fact that the
counsel already designated have shown an
unwillingness TO accept the compensation
fixed by the Government.

SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 29.-The

some thirty-tive collins had been thus ar
ranged, the platform gave way, causing a
mOmentaTy panic. One woman shrieked
and tainted and was carried out, but the ex-
element soon subsidized. Funeral Orations
were pronounced by the Rev. Fathers
Primsaue, Of Worcester, and GagBier, Of

In spite of their anti-third term dec
laratiOn, the Pennsylvania Republicans
are evidently a little afraid that the
Democrats may carry Ohio this fall,
and that thus a heavy influence Will be
thrown against them in their election,
which follows in November. The Phil
udelphia Press Is anxious that its party
be prepared for defeat in Ohio, so as
not to be discouraged when it comes.
If Ohio goes Republican, the Press is
confident that Pennsylvania can easily
be carried in the same way; "but," it
continues, eff we lose Ohio, it viii re-
