THE BOYS IN GRAY READY.
Richmond ENQUIRER

Let the president issue his call, and
promptly the gray will stand shoulder tc
shoulder with the blue, an impenetrablt
bulwark against which mob violence and
communism will dash in vain. He will
find that the veterans of Manassas and
Gettysburg still remember that the first
duty of soldier is "implicit obedience
toorders" With such men theirpersona
prejudice will weigh as nothing against
the word of command. Friends and
foes must suffer alike from their bullet.
or bayonets if the emergency so requires
We at first gave to the strikers on the
Baltimore and Ohio a warm sympathy
They have suffered grievously. But the
reparation and relief they seek can never
come through sacked cities and whole,
sale murder. When a strike takes on
the proportions of communism then it is
that the Order-loving element north and
south unite in a common cause, declaring
that the lawof the statute books and the
law of humanity must and shall be re-
speCted.

As for the men who defy the law, re.
sist its officers, wantonly burnand destroy
property, and to threats and violence add
arson, robbery and murder, they are
simply outlaws, and should be treated as
such. 1t is mOnstrous that the business
of the whole country should beparalyzed,
travel stopped, the mails impeded, cities
given over to a reckless and murderous
rabble, and the power of half a dozen
states and of the national government de.
fed by a mob of rioters. The nation is
disgraced by such proceedings as those at
Pittsburg, Reading, Baltimore and other
places where THE mob have had their
sway. Society will be in peril unless
such lawlessness is suppressed promptly
and those melting and participating in it
are severely punished. 1t is not now a
question of wages, but of the common
safety. 1t is not an issue between rail-
road companies and employees, but be-
tween order and anarchy.

New YORK, April 27.-The Exec
utive Committee of the Grand Army
OF the Republic, appointed to per-
feet arrangements for the celebration
Of Decoration Day, recently resolved
to invite the co operation of all ex-
Confederate veterans in the cere-
mony. In furtherance of the object
of determination Mr.. j. w. Shorter
called meeting of gentlemen who
had been in the Southern army, and
last evening there assembled a num-
Der of eX-Confederates, among whom
We're Roger A. Pryor, Edward
Voolfolk, Captain Kibbee, William
Caldwell, Amos j. Bates; Joseph w.
Glider, ex-senator of North Caro-
lima, w. l.. Fox, and Others. Mr..
Shorter stated the object of the
meeting, and Mr.. Voolfolk said he
felt assured that all Southern men
would be pleased as he was to dis
play spirit of friendship, and would
be glad to accept the invitation
which had been, extended to them
by the Grand Army. There are a
number of Confederates buried in
the Brooklyn cemeteries, and their
graves had been regularly honored
by the Grand Army comrades. All
party feeling was now past, and
Southerners resident in Brooklyn
should and would attest their appre-
citation of the courtesy extended to
them by the Memorial Committee
by attending at the cemeteries and
Joining in the ceremonies there. Cap
tain kibbee and others urged the
appointment of a committee to COM
municate with Southern residents.
that they more fully learn their
views in relation to the matter. The
committee appointed is as follows (:

The Philadelphia Press prints an
account of recent conversation with
Secretary Evarts in which he said:
The Federal Government found
no necessity for recognizing either
Government in Louisiana. There
appears to be fear in the minds of
some people North that the President
has abandoned the colored man to
his fate at the hands of Il class who
are inimical to his interest. There
is no occasion for anxiety on his ac-
count. President Hayes now re- ards
the South as standing upon its honor
and believes them to be an honorable
people, who will take special pains
to carry out their pledges in every
respect. The President expects their
pledges to be fulfilled, and if they
are not they will incur the just OPP
probrium of the whole country, and
will be the duty of the Government
to secure to all citizens the rights
taken from them through these
broken pledges"

COLONEL SPOTTED TAIL A
Washington dispatch states that the

Gen. Sherman. Commissioner
Smith has suggested that he be COM

thousand scouts, and Gen. Sherman

Indians be enlisted and organized as

Spotted Tail and other chiefs having
commands, with a white officer in

Senator Gordon puts the question
of Southern support Of President
Hayes in a sensible light. In con-
versation with Herald reporter he
says: "My belief is that if the
President will pursue the course l
am very hopeful he will pursue.
looking only to the pacification of
this section-the elimination of the
Southern question from American
politics by giving to the South all
her rights Of local self government,
and | include in that not only the
right to control her domestic affairs
free from Federal interference, but
the right to have Federal law adj
mlnistered by people who have COM
mon interest among us, and who are
amenable to public opinion in the
Southern States-I say if this policy
is carried out that President Hayes
Will have all the conservative masses
OF this country at his back. This
being true, what need of raising the
question of another party formation?
He will be during his term on that
basis the most popular President the
country could have, and as he is
committed to one term he could not
expect greater reward for his faith

Evarts to limit the tenure of office of
consuIs to eight years is said to bo
