Compliment To- Col. Moore.

IuftfNttftH stfHtfttuWs
The recent visit Of the Washington Light
Infantry to Long Branch teaches n lesson to
other volunteer military organizations. Ten
days of perfect enjoyment were put in by the
seaside. The men were soeiable, but not dis
orderly; they drank, but not n single case of
drunkenness was reported; they were free TO
go and come within the rules laid down in
military camp, and these rules were so pre-
scribed and interpreted as to appear rather
silken cords than iron chains. In other words,
the commander, Col. Moore, fully appreciated
the subtle distinction between regular and
volunteer force, and had the tact to enforce 1t.
While he required obedience to the regula-
tons the latter were so framed as not to give
ofienSe to the amour propre of the citizen sol
der The mGterid Of the command was prob
ably similar to that of many organizations
which have visited the sen shore, and which
have not behaved so well The sound sense
and Judgment of the commander were often
brought into requisition, and he invariably
showed himself to be both gentleman and n
soldier. They encampcd in front of the largest
and most fashionable West End hotel as
strangers and they left as friends.

AT PARTY HEADQUARTERS.


There were but few visitors at the campaign
headquarters yesterday, and the mail, which
was small, brought little or no intelligence.
The republican headquarters are sending out
large numbers of speeches, and are receiving
many orders for them from all parts of the
country. The news from West Virginia is of
the most encouraging nature, and the rumored
split in Maine Is denied and evidence pro-
duced to prove its falsity. The working of the
independents in New York is watched with
interest, although the indications are not con.
sidered alarming.
The people at democratic headquarters are
over.sanguinc, and place much stress on the
movements of the independents. They have
sent out over 100000 copies of Senator Voor-
heess speech, and say that that document Is
largely In demand in Pennsylvania The work
being done in Virginia is watched closely, al.
though the national committee bore no official
intelligence of the rumored split in the read

on Monday night, and the consequent dsop.
pointment Off the public gathered on tho ave.

yesterday in which he cndcavorcs TO shin the

by showing that the claim of that body to pre-.
ccdcnce IN line was based on u courtesy OK
tended to 1hcm on several occasion which
they construed into n precedent Capt.
Thomson states Tint his command possesses
seniority by reason OF its organization in April,
1880, while the Rifles did not get together until
two months later.
"Wo believed" he said, 'fhat It was i'm.
portant to assert Our right last night, and had
some intlmation that II would be disputed by
Lieut. Oyster. We claimed the head Of the
line, aud several companies reported to me TO
be assigned to places, We formed on sixth
street, right resting on TIE avenue and leaving
space for the Rifles In Our rear and in front of
the Contpontals. We could not find the

that we were the senior company, and he re-
piled that we had recently reorganilcd, which

ton before on similar occasions and told
him that II was by courtesy, not by right. He
refused to yield his place and / returned and
sent word 10 Col. Moore that we would change
the route and go up Seventh street. realize
that the people were disappointed and regret
~ but we claimed Our position regarded Lieut.
oysters action MS tngentlemanly, and thought
proper to secure the head of the line"
The iasco was the talk of the town ycster-
day, opinion being divided MS to who came
out ahead. The merits of tho case were also
much discussed the friends of each claiming
for them the right of the matter. II Is prob
able that, until n reorganization of the district
militia, such questions of precedence will from

authority to decide them. The Light Infantry
