Some four months ago Maj L. ". e. Dor
sey, Of Nebras ka, introduced a bill in the
House Of Representatives, reviving the grade
of General in the Army, which was referred
to the Committee on Military Affairs, before
which Committee Maj. Dorsey made an ar
gument in its favor. The entire Committee
except two members, were favorable, and rs
the friends of Gen. Sheridan we're anxious
TO have unanimous report, the bill was
not reported to the House until every mem
Der of the Committee agreed to it. The in
tention was to first pass the bill through the
House, feeling that it would be much more
difficult to secure consideration of the meas
ure by that body than by the Senate. After
Gen. Sheridan was taken sick it was deter
mined to pass the Senate bill introduced by
Senator Farwell, and have it sent over to the
House and taken up when reported Sena-
tor Henderson promptly secured passage of
the bill and when the Speaker of the
House laid the bill before that body, Gen.
Spinola, under direction of the Military
Committee, asked immediate consideration,
objection was raised. Several attempts
were subsequently made by Maj. Dorsey and
Gen Spinola to have the bill considered, but
the opponents, availing themselves of the
rules of the House, succeeded in defeating
its consideration. Finally the friends oil
Gen. Sheridan determined that four or five
of the Members Of the House should not
control that body and defeat the passage OF
the bill, and threatened to flibuster and
prevent other business until the measure was
considered This had the desired effect and
the bill was brought before. the House, con
sidered, and promptly passed. The family
Of Gen. Sheridan are warm in their expires
sions of gratitude to Gen spinola, Maj. Dor
sey, Maj Steele and others for the manner
in which they secured the passage of TIL,
measure through the House, and to Sena
tors HawIey and Manderson for their promp
action in the Senate

Part of the ceremonies at the laying Of the
cornerstone for the monument 10 the rebel
dead at jackson, Miss, was the presentation
of silver crown to Miss Winnie Davis, for
her father JEFF The only meaning that such
stupid and inappropriate gift could have
is that it represents the blasted hopes of Che
slave. owning aristocrats to make the South
ern Confederacy a monarchy, in which they
would be dukes, marquises, lords barons,
and such. Remembering this, and remem-
5ering the ideas that the world has always
