Is minutes. Frequently during the course of
| his remarks the whole assemblage rose to their
| feet and cheered Justify. The whole occasion
was most satisfactory, and will long be remem-
bered by all who were present. The boys OF
| Burnside Post tender to Ex-Governor Curtin
and Comrades Hanback, and BOutelle hearty
| thanks for their presence.
1t may not be generally known what a true
! friend the ex-sodiers have in Governor Cur
| tin. 1t is his hearty wish to be known as a
! comrade, and he is never in better spirits than
when he is surrounded by ex-Union soldiers.
/ He has made provision in his will, under
stand, that when he dies he is to be buried by
the soldiers. and his wish is that some of them
will, on each recurring Memorial Day there
after, strew flowers upon his grave with the
same interest they do upon the graves of their
| soldier comrades. He has never missed, since
the customs of Memorial Day were inaugu-
rated, visiting a soldiers cemetery on that oc-
casion and strewing with his own hands choice
| flowers on the graves of our dead heroes.
| 1t is certainly the wish of all soldiers that
his life may be spared for many, many years,
for they have always found in him one OF their
best and noblest friends.

CHEATING THE GOVERNMENT.
Some sharper has hit upon an ingenious
! I'D Infr Il u-nnt-
the Assistant Treasurer of the United States
received a package of mutiatea legal-tender
notes and silver certificates of the denomina-
tons of SO aud $50, amounting to $50, which
were presented at the Sub-Treasury at New
York for redemption. Only one-quarter of
each note is missing, and they, therefore, will
probably be redeemed at their full value under
the law which provides for the redemption of
notes in full where less than two-fifths of the
note is missing. An examination shows that
the notes were torn in such way that the
fragments from each of four notes could be
used i'll making an entirely new and complete
note. The notes manufactured in this way
were put in circulation, and the notes from
which they had been made were sent to the
Treasury for redemption.
VISIT OF THE FIRST CORPS To GETTYSBURG.
Hon. A. G. Curtin, Chairman of Committee
to Invite the Governors, and Gen. Rosecrans,
Congress. called their committees together in
joint session in the Military Committee room
of the House. and made arrangements to have
the invitations printed at once. Gen. Slocum
moved that each corps have its due representa-
ton on the committees, which was carried
unanimously. That greatly changes the pro-
gram. If all the corps engaged there are rep
resented, it may be quite an event. Gov.
Curtin said he would invite the Governor of
every State that furnished Union troops who
participated in the battle. j. H. Slime. the
historian of the First Corps. is hard at work re-
arranging the committees according to the new
program.
CABINET RUMoRs.
Statements that are worth while repeating
are:
That Jonas and his friends have disguised
Mr.. Cleveland with their opportunities, and
his chance Of entering the Cabinet has been
lost.
That Tilden is behind the candidacy Of
Dan. Manning, his object being to punish
Whitney for treachcry in 1880, when the latter
betrayed the Sage of Gramercy Park, in the
interest of his father-in- law-Payne of Ohio.
That Lamar is too much of student and
too little of an cXccutant for Cabinet office.
That the Mcdonald boom has been resusci-
tatcd to placate Voorhees, and the silver men.
That either Carlisle or Randall can go into
the Cabinet, but that neither will, because
each fears to retire from the House. lest the
other distance him III the race fer the leader
ship of the party.
THE MORROW CoURT-MAETIAL.
It has been learned that the court martial
which has been trying the case of Lieut.. Col.
Morrow, 9th Cav, upon the charge mentioned
in The NATIONAL TRIBUNE two weeks ago,
has found him guilty of technical oiense
simply, and has imposed nominal sentence.
Col. Morrow is sentenced to receive q repri-
mand and to remain at the foot of the list of
observation-disclosures for period Of two years.
As he is already at the foot of the list, and ey-
poets to remain there for six or seven years, the
latter portion of the sentence does not involve
a severe hardship. He returns at once to his
post at Fort Bayard, n. NJ, where for the next
two years he will have the command Of his
regiment owing 10 the fact that the Colonel
has been detailed upon recruiting service.
