THE NATIONAL ENCAMPMENT

The annual encampment Of the Grand Army
Of the Republic opened on Tuesday at Nlilwau-
kee with large attendance of veterans, a
splendid parade, and signs of unwonted interest
and enthusiasm. The continuous growth Of
the organization twenty-four years after the
disbandment of the Union armies is most re-
markable. The Adiutant- Generals report
shows an enrolled memb ership of 410,686, a
gain of 49,492 in a year. Even with this
great membership it is not probable that the
maximum will be reached before the end of a
decade. With this growth in numbers and in
huence there is an increase in fraternal feel
ing with a complete effacement of sectional
lines. There are now Grand Army Posts in
every Southern State, one Of the latest achieve
ments of this patriotic order being the installa-
ton of Post officers on the rampalts of Fort
Sumter. In every State and Territory the
Union veterans are now united in the bonds
Of fraternity, charity and loyalty, and every
where constitute National reserve swayed by
American impulses, yet conservative and pa
ciic in it's influence in public life.
The prominent feature of the early sessions
of the Encampment is the address of the Com
mander-in- Chief Major Warner. This con-
tains a comprehensive review of the work of
the organization during the year with conserv-
alive counsel respecting the policy to be adopt
ed regarding recommendations for pension
legislation. Undeterred by the increasing
strength Of the agitation in favor of a Service
Pension BILL the Commander-in- Chief urges
moderation and practical unanimity in the de-
mands of the Encampment The compromise
effected last year at Columbus, by which the
advocates of the Disability Pension and the
Service Pension schemes were banded together
with the former entitled to precedence by
virtue of repeated recommended tons of the an
nual encampments, is commended as the only
practicable basis Of action. With a united
Grand Army he declares that there can be no
failure in securing at the next session of Con-
gress a pension for every veteran disabled by
age sickness or accident, and also for every
dependent widow and orphan. That act of
justice and mercy TO the sick, helpless and i'm
poveIished will leave the ground clear for SER
vice pensions based on honorable discharge
from the Union Army or Navy. These recon-
mendations, while in line with those of his
predecessors, are characterized by broad
spirit of tolerance in the consideration Of con-
ilicting views entertained by the veterans
Major Warner believes that the service PEN
sion will be the final consummation of the Ma
tons obligations to its patriotic defenders but
by virtue of his extended experience in Con-
gress counsels moderation and caution in the
presentation of the veterans claims.
The Grand Army is so often represented by
the soldier-hating element in American politics
as begging organization, canoling for Ma
tional bounty, that the record of its charities

At LAST.

At last action has been taken. BY an order
made yesterday by Chief Judge Larremore, Of
the Court Of Common Pleas, after consultation
with all the Judges of the court now in the
city, the original papers in the Flack case in
Guiding the affidavit of Mrs. Flack, upon which
the divorce was annulled, were referred to
the District Attorney with instructions to lay
them before the Grand Jury on Tuesday next
This step insures thorough investigation, we
hope and believe, of the whole o. this iniqui-
tous case. Let it be speedy as well. The
delay in dealing with this conspiracy has been
almost as much of a scandal as the crime it
self. Such revelations, bringing into question
the official character of men holding high and
responsible positions in connection with our
courts such as Sheriff Flack and Civil Justice
Mcneil, should have been made the subject Of
prompt inquiry. II the men under suspicion
were not willing TO move in the matter, that
was all the more reason why those who are
specially charged with the defence Of the honor
of the courts should have forced them to the
bar
We do not however, impue blame to the
Judges who have now acted. 1t was natural
and perhaps necessary that they should await
the first motion from one OF their own col
leagues, whose connection with The case places
him in a most unfortunate position. But Judge
BookStaver chose to absent himself from the
city at time when the public was looking TO
him to extricate the court from the scandal in
which he had involved it, II the action of his
associates seems like reflection upon him, it
is his fault, not theirs.

The coming New-York Republican Conven-
ton will contain III delegates. The coming
New York Democratic Convention will contain
not half so many-only 384 delegates Some
years ago the Republicans, in pursuance of that
policy of reform which has actuated the party
at all stages of its career, resolved upon in
creasing the representation in their conven-
lions The aim was to make those gatherings
truly representative, to make them stand for
the will of the mass of voters rather than that
of any faction The Democratic leaders have
been urged to initiate the good example set
them by their political opponents. But they
steadily refuse 20 permit a Democratic Con-
ventiOn to be as democratic as a Republican
Convention. The number of delegates is re-
tanned at 3Si, Notwithstanding the fact that

that the poet Wordsworth must have walked
