THE CLAM OF THE 1sr MASS.


EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: At the battle
Of charlottesville the 1Ith Mass, which had
been over on the right Of Hazel Grove sup
porting part of Gen. HancOck's Division, for
which they received a compliment from that
General in a special order, and as we were re-
turning to our old brigade Hooker's), the 1st
Mass. commenced firing. Our Colonel, know
ing it was the lst Mass. gave orders in his pc
culdr way for the mortar feet" to go in and
help them. We did 60, and, rs usual, got there
and 1t has always been believed, and was talked
about all the time / was in the service that
the firing of the LIST Mass at that time was the
cause of Stonewall Jackson's death.
Soon after | with Comrades Cushing and
Porter were placed on picket at the right of
the plank road, and when daylight came we
found we were alone, as our brigade had, as we
afterward learned moved to the right and
rear. AS we were about to fall back we saw a
rebel, and we demanded his surrender. He
threw up his hands, but as we advanced he
turned and ran, and although we all shot at
him he escaped. We followed him a short dis
lance. when we saw evidence of fearful
struggle, horses and men lying dead. Cushing
and l afterward came to the conclusion that
the night attack of Hookers Brigade did good
work, From all have read in The NATIONAL
TRIBUNE on the subject ! have no doubt that
Jackson met his death by some of the brigade,
Porter determined to follow the escaping rebel,
and did so against our protest. He has never
been heard of since, and was probably wounded
and burned, as the next day the woods were
afre. While going to the rear we were met by
shots from that direction, which proved to be
from the splendid division of Gen. Whipple,
who were at that time on the advance-liBe !;
but we made ourselves known and soon joined
our regiment. But there was q universal sad
ness in our company over the supposed fate of
Porter. as he was fayOrite with aII.-ANDREW

both Col. Matson aud President Cleveland for
their hostility to the veterans. If the boys do
not look out and vote for their friends they can
expect butlittle from the men who have proved
themselves derelict in their duty so far as pen
sion legislation is concerned. Let the soldiers
combine in every locality and elect the friends
that they can depend upon to render them
justice.

Our Constituents.


NJ Sherman, Port Gibson, Wis says our adj
vocacy of the rights of soldiers of the late war
Is heroic and unfagging. 1t seems to MIN that
the part of wisdom would be TO overthrow by
their united vote any party that fails to do
them justice during term OF four years. As
parties are now so evenly divided this can be
easily DONE and the day is fast approaching
when there will be but few soldiers to help
their comrades by this method.
James L. Morris, Co. l, 10th KY, Georgetown,
o., says he is a constant reader of THE Ma
TIONAL TRIBUNE, and would do without many
comforts or Injuries rather than do without his
paper. He wants all old soldiers to wake up, vote
for the man who will do them the most good,
regardless of party affiliations. The chances
are that every man will vote the way he
shot. Pay no attention to empty promises for
men who favored the rebellion will certainly
go back upon everything. Look out for these
kind OF shysters, and place them upOn the shelf.
A. c. Clark, Co. |, 37th n j., Randolph, Me-,
says The NATIONAL TRIBUNE is the best and

D. e. Potter No. 2254 Sixth avenue, Troy,
n. Y, considers any veteran who would not
subscribe for and lend his aid to support The
NATIONAL TRIBUNE a very poor stick and not
worthy of being called veteran, as it is the
only paper he sees that goes the whole figure
for veterans rights; also the veteran that
would vote for either Cleveland or MatsOn
ought to be thrown into the Gulf of Mexico
for shark food.

THE FISHERY TREATY.

The Document Read IN Secret Session-Why
It Is Not Given to the Public.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The Senate in secret
session to day listened to the reading of the fish
cry treaty. and then for an hour there ensued an
earnest but unsuccessful struggle to make it
public. The lead in this matter was taken by
Senator Frye. who was anxious that his constit-
uents shall be informed authoritatively as to
what they have to hope for from the treaty. The
motion was calamity supported and would have
been successful but for the discovery that the
Senate is powerless, in the face of it's rules,
to do what it desires. To publish the document
now would require a change of rules, and to
make a change, or even to discuss proposal to
make change, requires a day notice
Hence. as sthe matter is expected
to come from Ottawa within q day or two,
the Senate contents itself with sending the
treaty to the pu bic printer, ito be- printed in
confidence" The provisions of the document
are said to be very much the papers have
already stated them. That which seems to
have fastened itself most firmly upon the sena-
toral memory as the hasty reading was pro-
crossing. is the provision that the privilege of
going into Candian ports to buy bait shall be
withheld by Canada unless the United States
Congress passes laws for tie free admission of
fish and oil. The document is commented upon
by one side as practically conceding that the
Canadian contention has been correct as to the
interpretation of the treaty of 1918. Upon the
other hand. Senators friendly to the adnninistra-
ton express the opinion that all has been ac-
complished by the department that could be ex-

The Latter Must PreccS.- the Former in Cases
Against National Banks.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-An important de-
cision was rendered in what known as the
Pacific National Bank cases. which come here
upon appeal from the United States Circuit
Court for the District of Massachusetts
These suits were brought by writs of attach
ment against the Pacific National Bank, of Bos-
ton, after it resumed business, subsequent to it's
embarrassment in 1882. and were entered to re.
cover certain sums of money alleged to be due
from the bank to the several plaintiffs. The
most important question in the case is whether
an attachment can issue against national bank
before judgment in a suit begun in United
States Circuit Court This court is of the
opinion that 1T cannot; that the attachments in
all these cases were illegal and void because is
sued without authority of law. The Judgment
in each of the suits at law is affirmed, but the
decree in the suit in equity Is reversed and the
cause remanded, with instructions to enter a de-
crse setting aside and IN uling the bonds which
were given in suits TO dissolve the attachments
and enjoining each and all of the creditors aud
those claiming under them from proceeding in
any manner TO enforce the same against the
sureties and directing the suretes to surrender
the receiver the securities they hold for their
indemnity.

National Democratic Convention.

The Contest for the Location OF the Comipe
National Democratic Convention.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-The delegations from
Western cities are as busy as bees tonight striv
ing to secure the honor OF entertaining the next
Democratic national convention. The three
principal delegations, Chicago. ST. Louis and
San Francisco all confident of success. All
three unite in declaring the convention will GO
West, aud assert that the Cincinnati people real
ize that their fight is almost hopeless one.
OF the three delegations, San Francisco is the
most enthusiastic. and it is admitted by the ST.
Louis delegation that to night the talk runs to-
ward the Pacific COAST, but they assert that this
is due to the extravagant promises that be-
ing made The Chicago delegates are the
quie,est, but their plan of campaign is we'll de-
fined, and each committee does what is allotted
to it and reports to headquarters without max
ing much NOISE. Naturally, the rival delega-
lions are unwilling to say much. except in
general way. about their expectations. When
asked if they would have eighteen votes. Mr.
Tarpey. the San Francisco representative
said, Yes, we will have more than that"
The st. Louis people say they expect to be-
we'll up to the procession, and Chicago is evil
IDENTIFY feared by the others. From the best
analysis possible. il would seem that San Fran
cisco expects all the country west of the Rocky
mountains. and number OF votes from the
South II is conceded that Chicago will have
the votes Of New England, with the exception
CT Prince. OF Massachusetts, who is in favor Of
ST. Louis. This, together with the North west
and some support from the central section, will
give the lake city good showing to start off
with. and is expects to add enough votes to se-

etc. in part wholly manifest. there would
be but little ground for hesitation in arriving at a
conclusion.
But when the disease has progressed to the second
dsorganizinR stage, the tissue changes char
acteristc The local deposits the sclerotic
patches. the minute pockets of disorganzed blood,
the lobular and sometimes lobar Repatriation, the
friabe condition of lung tissue, the peculiar efu
vium, resembling that arising from sulphureted n.y.
drogen, all demand our closest attention: while
of these conditions might be observed in
of sporadic non-contagious pleuro pueumonia,
the grouping of several all of them in one subject
would be Enthusiastically pathognomonic. AS no his
tory of the post-mortem appearances in fatal cases
could be furnished it is unnecessary to consider in
detail the pathology of the third stage of this truly
formidable malady.
now in concl asion call your attention to the fact
that in the two animals we examined. there was
of the above-Getaled features prominently mani
tested, and much less there any grouping of two
o more of them that would give basis for the
deduction of DIAGNOSIS indicative of the presence of
any eontagon in the herd of cattle belonging Mr..
Pate.
It is my conclusion therefore, from all the knowl-
edge I able to obtain that there is ground
upon which to base a fear that contagious Dleuro.
pneumonia exists in the herd saw and examined.
