Farnsworth,s Brigade at Gettysburg.

The whole of Wednesday, Sept. 26, was spent
by Col. John B. Bachelor, John nj. Wander
slice and Sup't N. g. Wilson, of the Gettysburg
Battlefield Memorial Association, with Gen.
VIM. Wells and Col. III. G. Parsons, of the 1st
VT; Maj James Bryant, of the 9Th N. Y;
Lieut.. J. P. Allen, of the 1st w. Va; Capt.
Henry c. Potter. Capt. Thomas J. Grier, Lient.
David r. Foresman and j. Andrew Wilt, of the
18th Pa. Cav, known as Farnsworth's Brigade,
Third Division, Cavalry Corps, Army of the
Potomac, on the scene of the charge of the bril-
gade on the afternoon of July 3, 1863. Hon.
James Simons, who commanded Bachman's
Confederate battery opposed to them was also
present, with Col. J. ID. Ferguson, of Baltimore,
who was Adjutant on Fitzhugh Lees staff.
The location of Elders u. S. battery, brigade
line of battle, direction and distance of charge
of each regiment and positions for regimental
monuments were fixed by the officers of the
respective regiments.
The beautiful monument of the 9Th N. Y,
which now stands near the base of Round Top,
is not only fully half mile from where the
regiment was stationed, but it is inside the
main Confederate line occupied by them dur
ing the entire battle.
It is said, however, this monument will be
removed to its proper place as soon as the Bat
tlefield Memorial Association opens the avenue
along the line of battle on the ridge west of
Plum Run.
who commanded the brigade and fell leading
what at the time was considered desperate
and hopeless charge, is proposed to be erected.
1t is to be placed on the spur of Round Top,
southeast of Slyder's house, where he fell. 1t
is to be composed of mound of bolders gath
cred in the neighborhood, upon which is to be
placed pentagonal granite shaft, on each of
the faces of which is to be inscribed historical
data relating to the regiments of the brigade
and battery engaged. The mound and shaft
are to be surmounted by statue of Farms
worth.
1t is desired that all surviving members of
this brigade actively interest themselves in
this project, in order that it may be made one
of the most striking features of the field, as his
(Farnsworth's) fall is one of the most romantic
incidents of the battle of Gettysburg. Having
won in the Sth III. Cav. his promotion, which
occurred four days before he was killed, MEM
bers Of that regiment are deeply interested in
these proceedings q.

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: l write in
behalf of the society of Ladies of the Grand
Army Of the Republic of our town. Two years
ago some ladies conceived the idea that the
Woman's Relief Corps was not exclusive enough
in its working for the old veterans and their
families, and from their deliberations sprang
the J.. of GAR, and in our little village Of
/ 200 inhabitants we have Circle of L. Of
GAR Of rs charter members. Our object is
to keep, always, Memorial Day and do all in
our power for the Soldiers Orphans Home, and
families of the Union soldiers, and last, but not
least, the old soldiers themselves. In the in
terest of our Circle we contemplate having fair
at an early date, and anyone feeling interest
enough in our work to contribute any article
that would be suitable for our fair, we would be
thankful to receive it.-Mrs. A. w. SoNGER,

One lay down with his legs wide stretched and
apparently went fast asleep.
Gus evidently thought his opportunity had
come at last. He sneaked out of the tent to
the left, and made long detour until the tents
of the men of the next troop hid him from the
little wolf; then he stealthily crept down un-
der the shelter of these tents until he had
passed the sleeping coyote at least two tents.
Then he made rush, and was within yard
of the yellow enemy, when the latter appar-
emily awakened and dashed away, looking over
his shoulder at Gus, who was almost making
his heels break his neck in his endeavor TO
catch him.

Mrs Davis. "She is one of the most tender

Ex-PRIsoNERs OF WAR.
Annual Meeting of the Association at indianapolis

The National Association of Union Ex-Pris-
oners of War met at indianapolis recently.
One hundred delegates were present, repre-
senting every Northern State and the men who
were in Southern prisons. The major part of the
day was spent in exchanging "reminiscences of
prison life. Gen. John Coburn. OF Indianapo-
lis, made public before the association some
facts connected with his effort, as a special
agent Of Gov. Morton, TO have Indiana prison
ers exchanged during the war. He said he was
referred by the President to the Secretary of
War and by the latter in turn to others.
Finally he was given TO understand distinctly
that it was 1.-THE policy Of the Government to
exchange prisoners; that it would not be an
equitable exchange TO return healthy, sound
Confederate for starved, diseased and broken
down Union man. He said he insisted at the
time that Gov. Morton should make these facts
public, but Morton, in Difference to Stanton's
wishes, refused TO have il done.
The association condemned Col. c. c. Matson
Chairman Of the Invalid Pension Committee of
the House Of Representatives, for impeding PEN
sion legislation before Congress. The following
officers were elected for the ensuing year: Pres-
dent, Col. Thomas II. Mckee Washington, ID.
c.; V.-P, f. II. Williams, indianapolis; Sec'y
and Treas, L. p. Williams, Washington, d. c.;
Historian, Frank Z. Morgan, Philadelphia
Chap, G. G. McCabe, New York The next
annual meeting will be held in Milwaukee. In
the evening Campfire vas held and speeches
we're made by many of the ex-prisoners.

and nearly column is devoted to an at
tempt to answer it. Let us quote the
opening five lines of the editorial we have
forced out of them:
''We publish 10 another column of this
paper, the much talked about letter of
MIR. Bradley, relating to his political re-
lations. We take pleasure in publishing
it and hope our readers will carefully
read It.
The tone of this Pathological effusion in
dicates that the publication of the letter
was voluntary act upon the part of the
Tribune !. nor is the Illusion dispelled by
any explanation, vague or pointed. The
editor Faithfully observes that 1--WE take
pleasure 10 publishing it, and we opine
that no small portion of that pleasure is
derived from the fact that he also took
the Journals check at the same time.
1t is pretty low. down state Of affairs
when an organ of the Wanted party OF
high principles has to be paid to publish
! the news and the truth; but the journal
reioices that it has discovered the lever of
their actions and is thus enlightening
those who have been waptonly kept in
darkness.

THE BAIT WAS EFFECTIVE.

From The Asbu,y Park Journal.
On March 8, Mr.. James A. Bradley pub
lished in these columns, over his own
signature, letter in which he formally
renowned his allegiance to the Prohibit
ton party and pledged his future support
to the Republicans. He gave as his rea-
son the fact that the Republican party
in New Jersey had dared 10 take a firm
stand on the side of temperance aud he
deemed 1t bis duty to aid 1t in the prac-
teal work it had begun. The letter came
just as the Legislature had passed the
local option high license bill over the
Governors veto. 1t was copied and COM
mented upon by scores of newspapers, in
all sections of the State, and was the sub.
ject of widespread observation.
While the letter was reproduced by so
many leading Republican aud Democratic
papers, we did not find it, nor any open
allusion to IL, in any third party paper.
The omission was either through ignor-
ance of its existence, or it was an inten-
tional concealment of something that
from its logical force would work damage
to their cause. That it was not withheld
through ignorance of its existence was
plainly evident by the appearance of GER
tain vague and yeilod paragraphs the pur-
port of which could be discerned only by
those who had read the letter.
After lapse of three weeks We arrived
at the conclusion that these papers feared
to publish the letter and preferred to
keep the rank and file of their party in
ignorance rather than incur the risk Of
losing votes. 1t was fair to presume that
there were readers of these papers who
saw no others, and TO withhold so import
ant document, and even the knowledge
of its existence, from them was piece Of
gross injustice widely at variance with
honest Journalism.
The journal determined to do for them
what their own s'organn refused or failed
to do. To that end there was mailed last
week from this Office to the Neao Jersey
Tribune letter containing copy OF
Mr.. Bradley's communication, check for
So and an order to publish the letter as
an advertisement, to occupy one quarter
column space. The current issue of the
Tribune contains the letter, but it does
not appear as paid advertisement. 1t
occupies position on the editorial page

The No-license ticket at the annual
Princeton borough election on Monday
carried everything clean before 1t. There
were two tickets in the field, Democratic
and the No-license. The average majori-
ty on Councilmen was 100. The Prohi.
bition or No-license ticket was composed
of both Republicans aud Democrats.
For Mayor, Leroy II. Anderson, an ad.
voca.e of No-license, defeated his oppo-
nent, Augustus Mcdonald, by 90 MAORI
ty, and is elected Mayor to fill an unex-
pired term for one year. The total num-
Der of votes polled was 767. The licenses
granted last year expire next month, aud
will not be renewed, as the full No. license
ticket was elected. Common Council this
year will consist of the following mem
bers: Messrs. Gulick, Norris, Vandyke,
Leigh, Stockton, Murray, Atwater and
Stillwell.

cxlrTH LEGISLATURE.

The one hundred and twelfth Legisla
ture of New Jersey has adjourned ''sine
die, and the unanimous verdict is that 1t
has done more good than any other
Legislature for the past ten or fifteen
years.
The four bills which met with the
most opposition and which passed were
the " Local Option bill, " Sunset Elec-
ton" law, personal Registration" bill,
and the Bureau Of Election bill. The
other important measures which went
through both houses, including those
passed over the Governors vetoes, were
the bill to permit the abandonment OF
the Morris canal as a channel for nayi-
cation, the Smiths history scheme, the
Water bill, to condemn or complete the
purchase of the National Guards en-
campment grounds at Sea Girt, giving
Circuit Court Judges power to appoint
commissioners to index public records
of lands, to assess tangible personal
property where found, to abolish the

A GREAT ADvANcE IN REFORM.

The temperance reform legisla ton of
the session just closed places New Jer-
sey fully abreast with the most advanced
States on this question. The laws pass
ed comprise system of reform that is
well rounded and complete whole. Tue
local option and high license act is the
main feature of reform, while it is sup
ported on all sides by subsidiary enact
ments that guard it from the attacks Of
insidious foes.
The high license act provides for
graded license of from 800 to $3.50 each.
The law does not go into effect until
May LIST, and INSCRIPTIONS liquor deal
ers In different parts of the State were
making open and boastful preparations
to evade the high license feature by Sc
curing wholesale renewals of their licen-
SEES, from compliant excise authorities.
before that date. 70 nip this scheme
in the bud an act was passed prohibiting
any excise authority from granting or
renewing LICENCES before May LIST. This
was vetoed by the Governor, and to
meet his objections another act was put
through both house in one day, and Is
now the law of the State, which sub
stantially accomplishes the purpose aim
ed at. This act provides that prior to
the first of May, 1888, it shall not be
lawful for any board or other authority
having power to grant license Except
the courts of common pleas of the sew
eral counties of this State) to grant, re-
new, reissue or extend any license to
keep an inn or tavern or saloon. or to
sell spirituous, yinous, malt or brewed
| liquors, except TO person now holding
license which by its terms and condi-
tions expires previously to the afore.
said date; nor shall any license of the
kind herein mentioned. granted prior to
such date. be transferable either to an.
other person or to another place than
those named therein.
This guards the great Republican tenn
perance reform measure from the threat.
ened attack from that quarter. The
passage of this law was a staggering blow
to the insolent and boastful liquor inter-
est in the large cities.
Another act passed by the Legislature
of 1888, and now the law of the State.
provides THAT if any person or persons.
not licensed by any municipality to keen
boarding house, shall. without license
for that purpose first had and obtained
according to law. sell any rum. brandy
or distilled spirits of any kind, or any
liuuid OF which dist;lled sn;r;ta sbsil

malt or brewed liquors, in any quantity,
