TUESDAY EVENING. AUGUST 27.

TIE NEW YORK Herald. in speaking OF
the federal soldiers in the war between the
States, says:
"And what we are proudest of is that they
we're not hirelipgs. No thought OF hard
cash prompted them to duty. The motives
that urged them were of the most unselhsh
and holy character. The country was In
danger and the Presidents trumpet call for
help sounded on every hill top. The thun-
deYous reply was heard I'VE are coming
Father Abraham. three hundred thousand
more"
And the Herald says all this though 1t
cannot have forgotten the hordes of foreign
ers attracted here by the immense bounties
offered for federal soldiers; and the con-
script laws, and the bloody riot the execu'
ton of those laws provoked In its own city
Why, even now, quarter of a century at
ter the war, an immense sum OF U. s. mon
ey is sent abroad quarterly to pay pensions
to foreigners who returned to their foreign
homes after the war here was over.
