Rev. w. r. Brand will deliver a memorial
sermon on the life and character of DR.. Pusey
tonight at ST. Pauls Church, Twenty third
street, /, service at 7:2O p m, This sermon was
delivered one month ago in st. Pauls Church,
Baltimore, before a large congregation, includ-
ing nearly all the clergy of the city. 1t is a
noble tribute to the man round whom has
ragged one of tho fercest controversies of
modern times. DIR. Pusey was a man Of Won
derful learning; as a theolOgian he was with
out an equal in the Church of England; and
rs a Hebrew scholar he was recognized as the
leader outside of Germany. Church people
should hear this sermon, that they may learn
more of his life and character from one who
was his personal friend In wears gone by.

DAKOTA furnishes the opportunity for the
Bourbon to again demonstrate that he forgets
nothing as well as learns nothing. Aquarter
of a century ago the Democratic party fought
the admission of Kansas into the union of
States because IL was Republican in its politics.
And now the same party opposes the admission
of Dakota for like reason. No political Or
ganization based upon such narrow sectional
ideas can ever hope to win the confidence of
the American people, Dakota is the peer of
Kansas, and it is one of the first duties of the
present session of Congress to open the doors
of the Union to the new State.

GRANT ON PORTER.
Letter to Don Cameron Made Public
Pope and Prejudice ia the Army.

A Letter to Don Cameron Made Public
Pope and Prejudice ia the Army.
letter has been made public from General
Grant to Senator Don Cameron relative to the
Fitz-John Porter case, written February A,
1882. The General goes over the same ground
previously covered by him in referring to his
thorough investigation of the case, and reit-
crates his belief in the innocence of Fit2-J Ohm
Porter Relative TO the placing Of Pope in
command of the Army of the Potomac and
its influence on Porter's action, General
Grant says: "It would be well to
reflect what would have been the senti-
ments in the West if an officer from the
Eastern Army had been sent out to supercede
all of them and to command them, and
whether or not there might not have been
some hard criticisms, even by men who proved
to be among our most gallant and devoted
commanders. Then, too, in re-eXamining the
case, my attention was called again to General
Popes early order in taking command of the
| army of Virginia. | send you copy of this
| order. You will see that it was calculated to
make the army to whom it was addressed feel
that it was reflection upon their former SER
| vices and former commanders from that of q
| company to the commander of the whole, and
that even as amiable people as General Logan
and myself are would have been very apt to
| have made some very uncomplimentary re-
an Eastern officer sent West to com
mand over us in our field of duty.
commenced reading up this case with the
conviction that Gen. Porter had been guilty
as found by the court, but came out of the
investigation with thorough conviction that
l, and the public generally, had done him a
| fearful injustice, and entirely satisfied that
any intelligent man or lawyer who will throw
aside prejudice and examine the case as have
done, will come to the same conclusion. As
stated in my letter to the President, feel it
incumbent upon me, in view of the positions
that l have held heretofore and my failure
then to do what l now wish had done, to do
all in my power to place Gen. Porter right
before the public and in future history and
| to renair my own nnintpntinnnl inimstice

WE are panied to learn that Hon. GoDLovE
S. ORTIZ, of Indiana, is lying dangerously i'll
at his home in Lafayette. The Courier of the
latter city says: " 1t is time to speak frankly
of Mr.. ORTHs condition. He is u very sick
man. His case is not altogether hopeless, but
full of alarming complications, He left Wash
ington before the close of the last session of
Congress, and went to Berkeley Springs, Vir-
Cinia. Poisoned with the malaria of the po-
tomac flats, and still suffering somewhat from
the effects of cancer which had been re-
moved from his lip, he rccupcrated slowly,
and came home much reduced in flesh and
quite an invalid. He was not able to enter
upon the campaign, and save in the touching
expression of his thanks 10 the convention
on the day of his nomination, and a few five
minute talks at two or three of Gen. Co.
BURNS appointments, lie was silent through
out the contest"

THE New York Tribune thinks that Congress
should "deprive the President of power to
dictate to State and Congressional conventions
by means of a distribution of patronage" The
same sheet was pleased, a few short months
ago, to know that " the Administration meant
business" in debating, not merely to a con-
vention, but to legislature. Circumstances
alter cases, they say.

in tow. The East. the Blue, the Green

entranced couple. and passing through

opened the glass door to usher them into

The Shipping Bill.
The New York World.


Mr.. Perry Belmont, who arrived from
Washington last night, said to a reporter
1T the World regarding the bill to repeal
and amend certain acts pertaining to the
zshipping and discharging of seamen,
which was passed by the house of repre-
sentat ives yesterday: The bin passed by
the house was reported by the committee
on commerce, to which was referred the
bin for the same object introduced by me
at the last session, and is substantially the
same as my bill. The measure is relief
for which ship owners have prayed about
ten years. Formerly, when the master of
a vessel wanted to sell his ship in a for
eigu port, or for any other reason was
compelled to discharge his crew, he had to
pay each man three months extra wages
an unreasonable and oppressive charge.
Now, instead of paying three months
wages to seamen, the masters of vessels
are simply bound to provide them employ
Iheut on another ship or to defray the
expenses of their passage home, so that the
new law, while granting much needed
relief TO our shipping interests. does not
neglect to properly provide for the sailors.
NAV mention the fact that the special
committee on American shipping, which
was appointed in accordance with a reso-
luton introduced by me, intended to rec
commend substantially the same bill as
was passed to-day. 1t augurs well. i
think, for the prospect of legislation in
favor of revival of our shipping, that the

THE RAILROAD ACCIDENT.

CINCINNATI Dec. 1S.-Later information
adds ]. G. NcNown, Postal Clerk to the
list of injured. His inj uries are slight.
The cause of the accident was a mistake
of Engineer Peters, in taking the accom-
mediation train for the limited express.
The east-bound train received orders not
to pass Foster until the west-bound train
had reached that point where the double
track to Cincinnati begins. Shortly before
the east-bound train reached Fosters it
met an accommodation from Fosters which
was mistaken for the express, 50 that the
east bound train entered the single track
at Fosters supposing it clear A mile and
half further on at sharp curve, the
trains crashed into each other, one at the
rate of torty-five and the other at forty
miles an hour The two engines were
mashed together and the postal cars were
piled up on them. No other cars were
thrown from the track. Kiralfy Brothers
car with their elephant scenery and bag
gage was next to the postal car of the
east-bound train. The elephant was re :
ported killed but this is a mistake. The
car was SO little injured that it was sent to
its destination. None of the troupe were
hurt and no passengers were in jured

A VISIT no ANDERsoNvILLE.

Anderson is the name of a station on the
| Southwestern railroad, about sixty miles
! from Macon. Tt IS nothing but railroad
| station, and the only thing that character
| ICES the spot is the immense Union GENE
| terry of some twenty acres, over which
| floats the star spangled banner. The ceme-
1 terry is constructed on the spot where the
| prisoners were buried, and the trenches
were dug with snch precision and regular
ity that the soldiers were not generally dis
| turbed, but allowed to remain as their COM
rades inferred them, working under the
watchful eyes and the fixed bayonets of
| the Georgia home guard.
The cemetery is surrounded by stout
| brick wall. with an iron gate, and is under
| the supervision OF a superintendent, who
| lives on the ground 1t is plain spot
There is not much attempt made to orpa-
ment this city of our martyred dead. 1t
| would take great deal of even such in
| flu ences as plants and flowers possess to
dispel the melancholy memories that
haunt this hill in the pine woods of south
Georgia.
Southerners shun the spot, but the GENE
terry is much visited by northern travellers,
and the register in the snperintendent's
lodge contains many strange Inscriptions
beside the names of the visitors. One
lady asks forgiveness of God for the
I
murder of her brother, who sleeps in the
cemetery.
Occasionally man who was in the
stockade turns up among the visitors.
These men, whatever their natural temper,
the superintendent saws, can almost be
distinguished by the effects of fear, broad
and vivid recollection, which comes back
like shock into their faces as they again
stand on the now quiet and sunlit scene of
their war experiences.
In the cemetery the ground is of gen
eral level, and the graves of the known
aud unknown, properly separated, range in
rows, closely laid, as far as the eye can
reach.
There are actually buried on this eieva-
ton 1879 men. The soldier whose iden-
tity was preserved by his comrades is
marked in his resting place by a white
marble stone. rising eighteen inches above
the level of the ground. A square marble
block with the word unknown" on it is
repeated about-one thousand times in the
cemetery.
Part of the stockade is still standing.
There were two rows of trees-one inside
the other The outer row has fallen down,
save a few posts here and there, but
large part of the inner wall still stands.
Trees have grown up around the old pen,
and thick growth of underbrush now
covers the site of the prison.
No traces of the famous brook that ran
through the stockade remain, nor of the
wonderful well dug by the prisoners. 1t is
all now mid and peaceful section of
country
Many of the soldiers in the cemetery
have handsome headstones lifted to their
memory by friends in the north, and eff
forts are frequently made to have certain
graves kept green" with flowers and a
shower pot.
