GEN. BENTLIFF's address, published
in this paper is eloquent. Accepting
the brotherhood idea of the whole
human family there is nothing in it
any man can except to. Realizing
however that the family should be
governed by sound moral philosophy
the radical mind will not wholly
agre with him. Sugar coated pills are
easy to take but to be effective there
should be something in them besides
sugar. Bitter is wholesome. The
South in truth has had nothing but
Cancellation since the execution of
Lincoln's murderers, They owe their
lives and estates to our compassion
and repay the debt with undying
hatred. The more we conciliate the
more they despise. Senator Cameron
is about right in saying that it is
nothing short of civic blasphemy
against the memory of the glorious
hosts of young men who went down
gladly to their graves that the Union
might live, to compare them even for
a moment with the dark legions who
preferred to risk their lives rather
than to part with their unholy power
to enslave and traffic in the flesh and
blood of their felow-men. Such
comparisons obliterate the distinctions
between right and wrong they abol-
ish the heroism of history aud crown
the heads of prosecutors and martyrs
alike. But Gen. Bintliff's speech is
too good to have i'll said of it. His
heart is right and he says nothing
positively wrong. He aimed to be in
accord with every hearer Besides,

The stomach Is tho laboratory OF the system, in
which certain mysterious processes constantly

wonderful vivifying agent the blood, which in state
of health rushes laden with the elements Of vitality
to the remotest parts of the system. But when the
stomach is semi paralyzed by dyspepsia blood manu-
facture is carried imperfectly, the circulation
grows thin and sluggish and the system suffers in
consequence. Moreover, indigestion reacts upon the
liver ahd bowels rendering the first sluggish and the
latter censtipated. The brain also suffers by SYM

Our floral of rings we bring
Der all the land to day,
And on our fallen heroes graves
The tender tributes lay.
We strew these flowers above our dead:
Our tears no longer flow:
We wept them all away when sunk
The heart in waves Of wo;
When fiercer grow the bloody strife
As weeks and months wore on;
When wife and mother dared not look
Her best-beloved upon,
But held them with loosened grasp,
And turned away her eyes,
Lest love should make the trembling heart
Withhold the sacrifice;
When this fair land in her own blood
Was drenched from shore to shore,
Yet dared to call upon her last
"Three hundred thousand more"
That hour is passed; the monster, Wrong,
Has yielded up its life,
For bringing brothers face to face
In fierce and deadly strife.
We clasp fraternal hands to-day
Above our fallen foe,
And pledge forgiveness, love, and trust,
That nothing shall o'erthrow.
One glorious Country shall be ours,
While Empires rise and fall,
Where Justice holds her balance true
In equal rights for all;
Where Vice, Intemperance, and Crime,
In shame shall hide away
Where greed for place, or pelf, or power,
No longer win the day.
Then debauchees shall ne'er disgrace
Our Nations councilhalls;
Nor hand of Doom come forth to write
"Mene"* upon the walls.
But statesmen strong, and wise, and pure,
Shall mold with gentle care
Our Nations character and laws,
And every wrong repair.
Brothers, in hope of that glad time,
Give us the loyal hand
Thank God, we are one people still
A free, united band
Upon the graves where sleep our dead
Who wore the Blue, or Gray,
In sweet forgiveness, peace, and love.
We scatter flowers to-day.
o We who bore no willing part
In that colossal wrong,
Go where our brothers, nude and starved,
In prison languished long,
Until their wasted, haggard forms
Scarce human semblauce bore,
Then sunk into their nameless graves,
Crushed meath the tyrants power;
Go on this sad memorial-day,
And down through coming years,
Scatter upon their nameless graves
Flowers believed with tears.
Remember, those who died with us,
Though wearing ''Rebel Gray"
Received the gentle ministries
OF love from day to day.
Women whose hearts were wrung with wo
Their throbbing temples famed,
Held to them the cooling draughr,
And soothed with tender hand.
Their graves are with us, and shall be
An cver-sacred trust;
And, brothers, we bequeath to you
Our loved ones precious dust
Together let us celebrate
Our Country's natal hour,
When God unfurled our starry flag,
And gave us freedoms DOVER
But nearer, dearer, stronger still,
Shall be this tie to bind
Our hearts in sympathy and trust,
Forevermore entwined.
And let our Decoration Day
Stand as symbol true
A Nations sacramental rite,
Loves pledges to renew.

R1ILRO1D LAND GRANTS.
Companies and Pre-emptors.

WASHINGTON. July 23.-Carl Schurz has
delivered verbose decision upon the appeal
OF Nelson Dudymott. who attempted unsuc-
cessfully TO preampt certain land in Kansas
lying within the land grant Of the Kansas
Pacific Railroad Company. The law under
which the grant was made provides in
substance that II any OF ii remains
undisposed Of three years after the final COM
pletion of the road il shall be sold TO actual set
tiers under the preGmption laws at sl.25 per
acre. the money TO be paid To- the company. The
years ago Mr.. Dudymott thought il was n plain
ease. The local land Office and tho Commits
sioner Of the General Land Office thought diff
terrntly. and refused 10 receive his application.
Hence the appeal.
Schurz says, in brief that It doesn't clearly
sold by the company. or that Dudymott is
qualified preSmptor. But he Is of the opin-
ION that the condition runs with the
grant. and is in effect reservation
of Il power of sale in the Government Of the
lands granted to the company which remained
after the entire rond was completed. under the
provisions Of the Presumption law"
He Is further Of the opinion that Dudymotts
Application should have been received by the
local officers. subject To the condition that IL he
made to appear, before final certificate issue TO
was filed the company had not sold or disposed
Of the land.
When the General Commissioner told Dudy-
mott that the sale Of such lands WAS not within
the jurisdiction of the Land Ohice. he was en-
tireiy mistaken. Schurz says. and he orders him
