A Notable Reunion.

An interesting meeting between
Col. II. w. Baylor, an ex, Confederate
and Gen. b. +. Kelley Of the Federal
army, was recently held a, the home
of the former gentleman in West
Virginia. Col. Baylor was captured
during the war By Gen. Kelleys's
troops, and was tried by an order of
Secretary Stanton for au alleged viola.
ton Of the rules Of war, and sentenced
to be hanged. In looking over the
papers relating 10 the case, which were
brought to him for approval, Gen.
Kelley became convinced that the
facts did not justify the action Of the
court-martial. Therefore he disap-
proved of the finding of The court and
sent the papers to the Secretary of
War.
The Secretary was not pleased With
the action of the General and sent the
papers to another officer, who agreed
with Gen. Kelly. This did not satisfy
the Secretary and be referred the doc
unents to Judge Advocate General
Holt, who said there were informali-
lies in the trial, and the Secretary
ordered another court-martial, which
was had, and similar verdict aud
sentence was the result, Gen. Kelley
again disapproved the finding, the
Secretary of War again referred the
papers TO other officers, who this time
agreed with Gen. Kelley, aud the
sentence was annulled. Some time
afterward President Lincoln heard of
the case, and sent dispatch TO Gen.
Kelley thanking him for his action in
the matter. and saying that be was
glad TO know that an officer of bis
army had the courage TO do right
10 spite ofthe opposition of the courts
martial and his superior officers. By
the chances Of war Gen. Kelley was
afterward captured by the Confeder.
ates, and, although in no such perilous
position as was Col. Baylor, be. re-
reived every kindness and attention
that it was in the power of that officer
to give. They bad not seen each 9TH
er since the war, until Gen. Kelley
and his wife accepted an invitation
from Col. Baylor to visit Tim in bis
West Virginia home.

The Republican Speaking.

They came-lhose big guns of the
Republican party-ou Thursday last,
according TO appointment, and spoke
to quite a crowd Of both white and
black, Democrats aad Republicans {;
and we would like very much to lay
before our readers full report Of the
affair, but, in the first place, we w re
unavoidably prevented from being
present ali the time, and in the next
place, we have not time and space
to make such report.
There were five Of them, who spoke
in the order in which their names ap-
pear, as follows: Campbell, Packard,
Wharton, Harris and McMillen and
we must say we were very much dis
appointed, although we were not ex-
pccting any great oratorical display.
Neither Of the three first reached even
the standard of fourlb-rate orators /;
bet we were impressed with he idea
that if the two last were engaged in
4 good cause they might win consid-
cradle distinction as oratcrs-and
they might all have done better if
they had n,et with such hearty rounds
Of applause as greet our Democratic
orators when they make their appear
ance among us.
We must give them credit for being
quite moderate in their language and
displaying a spirit of fairness, to q
certain extent; for they were all
agreed that Gen. Nichols was q gal
liant soldier, a true and noble gentle
man, and Mr.. Packard admitted that,
if elected, be would make good gov
ernor-as good, if not better than
himself McMillen admitted. too,
that Col. John McEnery was elected
Governor of Louisiana in 1872; and
yet he is now trying TO convince the
people Of Louisiana that the very man
who planned and helped execute the
programme for ousting him frJm his
place and foisting the Kellogg usurpa-
ton upon them is the right man for
the place this year. We imagine his
effort will 'prove a signal failure.
Mr.. Packard's argument in favor Of
a protective tariff on sugar and mo-
lasses will hardly make any colored
votes for his party in North Louisi-
ana, il that class of voters understand
it, for here be is addressing lot OF
fellows who are particularly fond of
the juice Of the cane "biled down." and
are not at all anxious for the price of
"'iasses' to be kept up, by protective
tariff or any other means.
The speaking was under the shades
of the oaks near the southwest corner
of the jail lot-a very pretty spot for
the purpose-and the crowd was very
orderly, considering the fact that some
of them seemed to have visited places
of liquid refreshment quite frequently
during the day.
