THE @. A. r.
An Extract From Cen. Kountzs Annual
Address.

The secret executive session OF the national
encampment of the G.. A. r., was held In Port
land, Me-, June "a From the annual address
Of Commander Kountz we make the following
extract:
He said that four years ago there was a
membership Of nearly 10000; on March 81,
1876 there were 80 departments, 5,026 posts,
aud 269, ga members, while the report of the
adjutant general shows the membership to be
2S7 ,637. The large number Of s., 292 reported
by the adjutant general as suspended during the
year is due In great measure To the negligence
and inefficency of post officers. "Our finances, ~
the commander-in-chief continued, "are in ex-
cellent condition. We have on hand cash
balance of si5,224 The question having been
raised as TO whether the late Commander B. f.
Stevenson of Springfield, ILL.,, was really the
first mover in the organization of the
Grand Army Of the Republic, 1t is deemed but
simple justice to his memory as well as to his
family and comrades to state that all authentic
records confer upon him that very great honor.
During the past eleven months there have been
issued 81, 900 badges at profit Of 5000
heartily indorse the organization known as the
veterans rights union, the oject of which Is to
secure 10 our comrades their rights and privi-
leges. Under the revised statutes OF the United
States the Union urges, as IL rightfully may and
ought, that when other qualifications are equal
the soldier should be preferred, because he was
a soldier. / am opposed to the perpetuation of
the Grand army, believing the mission Of our
great comradeship will have been fulfilled when
the last comrade has joined the final muster
out Knowing that there is nothing In the
Grand Army Of the Republic inconsistent with
most exacting personal duty or the
strictest religion, l deemed II for the
interest of the order to appoint special COM
mittee TO lay its nature and workings before
the proper Catholic authorities of the United
States that they might know our organization
has nothing to conceal and that our purposes
are commended by all who understand them.
The committee reported, having fulfilled Its
mission, that assurances had been given by
Archbishops Ryan any Gibbons that nothing
could lie found in the aims Of the Grand Army
to prevent any good Catholic from becoming a
member 4"
The commander-in-chi deprecated partici-
patton In politics as an organization, and ur-
gently advocated the Mexican pension bill and
a bill to grant disabled soldiers pension from
the date of disability. He also urged that

A law proposed in illinois, and favor
ed by the Trades and Labor Assembly,
deals with the problem of convict labor
It's object is to devise means by which
convicts can be kept EN- eloyed without
underselling the products of free labor,
and so reducing the wages of the free
laborer. The bill enacts that the prod
uct of prison labor shall not he sold
at less than marset rates; that not over
ten per cent of the convicts shall be
employed on airy particular industry,
and that certain percentage OF the
revenue shall be set aside for the sup
port of the convict's family.

THE bill providing for al advisory
pardon board is now law and provides
for board of four persons, one of whom
shall be physician and another an at.
torney, whose duty it shall be TO ex.
anime applications for pardons of con.
victs and decide on the same. As a.
experiment the workings of this bill
will be closely watched by all. The
executive has been the object of ridicule
and censure every time a cow ct has
been pardoned, and that too, unjustly,
from the very fact that the true merits
ofevery case were not know to any save
the executive and thos who vere di-
rectly instrumental in securing the par
don. Under the new law, the execu-
tive has discharged his duty when he
has made wise appointments and other
shoulders must bear the burden.

Crabtree's Chestnut.

James Crabtree, resident Of Croton town
ship, Newaygo county, has gone TO New Or
leans on mission that has a romantic faint
about II. II seems that during the Mexican
war, in which Mr.. Crabtree served, he became
intimate with a man named Antonio, with
whom he 'chummedi until the close of the
war, when the two men went to New Orleans
where Antonio died soon after On his dying
bed he told Mr.. Crabtree his secret and made
him promise that some time he would look the
matter up. Antonio claimed that In his
younger DAYS he was a first lieutenant on board
a pirate ship commanded by Paul LeVler, and
on one of their cruises they landed on one OF
the islands about fifty miles below New Or
leans, and there buried about s., 500 900 in gold
and silver. lie also claimed that he was the
last member OF the once famous crew. Mr.
Crabtree is now So years old and has been blind
for years, but he still thinks that from the de-
scriptions given him, he can go to the exact
spot He Is accompanied by his son and one
neighbor. Mr. Crabtree has started twice be-
fore, but was taken sick each time and forced
to return home-a fact that has made his
family and friends little superstitous. So
sanguine was he that the money was there, and
that he will find it, he mortgaged his little farm
to get money to go with. The matter creates
quite little excitement, not that the people
think that he will be successful but because he
is so earnest. He is known TO be man Of un-
doubted varacity
