LOYAL SOUTHERNERS.
The Injustice of Debarring from the GAR. Ne

The Injustice of Debarring from the GAR. Men
who we're Forced to Join the Rebels, and After.
ward Escaped TO the Union Army.
To THE EDITOR: see the GAR. at its last
meeting in Portland refused to admit men into
the Order who were forced into the rebel army,
DESERVING at the first opportunity and joining
the Union army. By that act great injustice
was done hundreds of true and loyal men.
People living back in the Northern States can
have no conception of the trials and sufferings
endured by Union men along the border Of the
so-called Confederate States Numbers of loyal
men were shot and hung for trying to get
through the lines. This is no fancy sketch. /
have witnessed men shot and hung for no other
Ofense. The whole country along the border
was guarded by rebel details and homeguards.
Every able-bodied man and boy over Is and
under 90 was arrested and hurried off under
close guard, often handcuifed and bound with
ropes, and placed in the front ranks of battle
Us the rebels said, to save better men. When my
father and myself left home to join the Union
army there was no band playing and flags fly
ing and crowds of friends and neighbOrs to
wish us good-by, but in the darkness of night
a sad sorrowlul group gathered in the back
yard no light visible about the house. Details
had already been there searching for us. and a
light might betray us. Nearly 100 miles lay be-
tween us and the Union lines all closely
guarded. When we parted there we knew the
chances were against our ever meeting again.
No letters could pass to and fro. We were to
part to hear no more from each other until the
war closed. With hearts too full for utterance
we turned our backs on home and started to the
old flag, leaving mother aud five little children
to the tender mercies of the rebels, who came
after our departure and brought straw to burn
our house with. They tied mothers hands be-
hind her with two gunstraps. All these things
the Union soldier back North did not have to
encounter No man hates rebel principles more
than do, but l think it is wrong to debar men
from our Order because they were arrested by
the rebels and carried off into the rebel army
men that we know to be true, and who de-
serted and joined our army at the first oppor-
tunity.-H. d. LOFTS, Sergeant-Major, I'd n.

Tho National Silver Convention.

DENVER, Jan. 29.--The National Sill
yer convention reassembled at 10
o'clock. The temporary chairman read
the following telegram from Henry M.
Teller, secretary of the interior:
Washington, d. c., January 29-To the Chair
man of the Silver Convention:
/ desire, through you, to assure the
convention over which you preside that
] am in full sympathy with every effort
to secure to silver all the advantages
conferred by law on gold. do not be-
lieve silver will take its first rank as
money metal in the commercial marts
of the world until its money
function shall be recognized by
the law giving the holder OF
silver bullion every privilege given to
the holder of gold bullion. To this end
pledge you my untiring efforts.
(Signed) III. M. TELLER.
The reading of the telegram was fol-
lowed by tremendous cheering, lasting
some minutes. The balance of the
morning session was consumed in de-
batting that part of the report of the COM
mittee on credentials fixing the STAN
dard of representation.
The convention thus far has been a
stormy one, bitter fight being made by
the delegations favoring the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, who are for
the permanent Craftsmanship in favor OF
ex-senator Tabor. The conservatives.
including majority of the committee
on permanent organization, are for eX-
Gov. Grant. Absolutely nothing has
been accomplished thus far.

Tho SauntIerrc Case.

The case of Mrs. Victoria Sauntierre
was tried yesterday in The absence of
the plaintiff, who was i'll. Her absence
made no material difference, however,
as the fact of her injury was abund-
antly proved and recognized by the
court in his decision. The suit was for
so, 200, and the allegation was that the
Texas Il Pacific Railway company had
negligently and carelessly run over her
body in tho spring of 1881. The plaintiff
desired continuance and the court re-
fused to grant IT., on the ground
that the ailidavits as to her
sickness were not sufficient
to give continuance on when a
second continuance was being asked
for. Nevertheless, the plaintiff got in
all her testimony as to the evidence, but
tailed to show negligence atlirmatiyely
on the part of the defendants.
The accident happened at crossing
Of county road with the Texas ~ Pa
cific railway, and it was not proved sat
isfactorily to the court that the officers
of the road had been guilty
of negligence in not Civ
ing signals, etc, to warn those who
crossed tho railroad. The woman lost
her leg by being run over. A new trial
will be asked for and argued to-day.

GalyestOn's Broken Bank.

GALVESTON, Jan. 3l.--Another mass
meeting of depositors of the defunct
Island City Savings bank was held
at Turner hall tonight, to hear
and consider the report of the commit
tee appointed at a mass meeting held
last Wednesday. The attendance to-
night was aot half as large as at the
meeting. The committee
reported that they had made an ex-
haustive examination of the resources
of the bank and if it was allowed
to re-organize on the basis that the
surrender their capital
stock and the franchise of
the bank, wealthy capital
lists had subscribed 100000
which they would take as stock in
the reorganized bank, if the de-
positors would take Il proper
tionate share of their deposits
in stock. This, with the available as
and judiciously handled would
depositors 7.hcents on the dollar, in in
stallments, as follows: TWEEN
ty-hve per cent. in cash
on the resumption OF the
bank, and the remainder in three, six
aud nine months, provided all judg-
ments and garnishments to suits
were withdrawn. Tho re-
port of the committee was
favorably discussed by the majority OF
the speakers, although some opposition
was manifested and when put to vote
1t was adopted by a large majority.
amid considerable enthusiasm. Books
were then distributed among the
depositors present, in which
they were to record the amount
of the deposit, how much of it they de-
sired converted into stock, and the
amount they wished liquidated on
the basis proposed. Ten days
were allowed them to return these books
to the bank, when stock will be
issued to them in denominations
of $40 a share. This is regarded
as a very favorable adjustment, as, the
stated that if legal redress
was sought by the depositors the assets
of the bank would not realize to them
% per cent, if that.

A MYSTERIOUS MEETING.
RANDALL CALLS ON CLEVELAND.
a Secret Night Session at Albany-Carlisle
Coming - Is the President-Elect
Observation-Disclosures, of Ill
inois, Lands on Top.
Cleveland and Randall.

ALBANY, Jan. 29.-What appeared to
be sensational paragraph was printed
in the Journal this evening, to the
effect that President-elect Cleveland
was visited late last night by ex-
Speaker Randall, in response to letter
of invitation sent him to Washington
Immediately after his arrival here Mr..
Randall was driven to Cleveland's tenn
porary abode, where the two men held
conference lasting several hours.
This morning the talk was re-
sumed, and at it's conclusion
Mr.. Randall returned to New York.
Speaker Carlisle is also mentioned as
having been invited by Mr.. Cleveland
and is expected to arrive Saturday
morning.
Col. D. S. Lamont, private secretary to
the president-elect, corroborates the
statement that Mr.. Randall
was here, and in CONSUL
tation with with the president-elect
and that Mr.. Carlisle is expected, but
beyond that he was extremely reticent.
Rumor has it that the president elect
is not satisfied with the way things
are going on in congress, and
wants Messrs. Randall and Carlisle to
adopt some fresh and vigorous policy.
OF course, nobody has the smallest
particle of information as to what
took place between Mr.. Cleveland and
Mr.. Randall, but it is generally believed
that nothing in tho line of cabinet ap-
pointments was mentioned.

Mrs. yvInslow's Soothing Syrup.

Rev. Sylvanus Cobb thus writes In the
Boston Christian FrGeman:-We would
by no means recommend any kind OF
medicine which we did not know to be
good-particularly for infants. But OF
Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup we can
speak from knowledge, In our own
family it has proved a blessing indeed
by giving an infant troubled with collie
broken rest at night. Most parents can
appreciate these blessings. Here is an
article which works to perfection and
which is harmless; for the sleep which it
affords the infant is perfectly natural, and
the little cherub awakes "bright as a but.
