INDECENT CoNFEDERATEs.
Making Arrangements for Opening the
Home at Pikesville, Md.


BALTIMORE, June 20.-A special meeting

confederate states in the state of Maryland
and the association of the Maryland line

for the opening of home for broken down
and INDECENT soldiers of the confederate
army at Plkesville on June a.
Capt. G. w. Booth presided, and in call
ing the meeting 10 order said he wished to
give emphatic denial TO some current ex-
pressioHs that the movement Of ex-confede-
rates in Maryland in establishing a home
was inimical and a standing menace to the
government Of our country. In some sense,
he said, the cause of the confederacy may
be called lost cause But there are
some things its adherents did not part with
In their surrender, notably among which
was their manhood, their honor and their
citizenship. The memories of the past are
ours, and doubly precious because they are
among the few things left to us of that
strife in which we made record that will
go down to all time and be of interest
to coming generations as a display of cour-
age and self-sacrifice seldom witnessed in
the worlds history. AS brave men, we
fought for our convictions; as honest men,
we have Loyalty abided the issues of the
contest; but, as true men, we propose to
keep bright the memories of our fallen
heroes and to preserve and protect our
helpless living.
