General E. p. johnson, commander OF
the N. G. G. of Southern California, at
$3.50 entered the drawing room with
General McCook and introduced each
one of the members of the Legion pres
ent to him. After some conversation
the whole party marched to the dining
room, where cold collation. was served.
Soon after coffee had been served Major
G. G. Allen, who acted as toast master,
proposed the health OF the president,
which was responded to by Major j. A.
Donnell.
The next toast: "The Army and the
Navy of the United States," was re-
sponded to by Lieutenant G. B. Baker,
US. A.
General A. Med. McCook responded
to the toast: "Our Honored Guest, the
zona." He said that it was not an easy
task for him to give the proper thanks
for the kind of a reception rendered him
by men who had stood side by side at
the bivouac and the battlefield. He
felt gratified when he came here to find
so many companions of the order of the
Loyal Legion in this city, and he be-
lieved that the prosperity of Los Angeles
was cause of this condition. The gen.
eral referred to the rebellion and be-
lieved that if it had succeeded the liber-
ty of the world would absolutely have
been snuffed out. The war having re-
suited in the way it did, made it possible
for the speaker and the members of the
legion to meet the way they now did. He
thanked his hosts. In the mind of the
general there was as much use of culti-
waiting patriotism today by means of the
Legion, the G. A. r., the Sons of Vet
Grams and the w. R. corps as there was
in 1861. The general concluded by sing
ing the ''Flag of Consolation" He was
heartily applauded, and three cheers
were next given for the old flag.
"The staff of the department COM
mander" drew out some very graceful re-
marks from Major w. J. Volkmar. '.@s
'The soldiers and sailors who have
passed over the river and rest under the
shades of the trees" was drank in 81
lence.
Gen. H. G. Rollins responded to the
"Union veterans of the late war;" and
Mai. j. E. McComas to Southern Cal
ifornia, the home Of the blessed"
Colonel Charles Treichel responded to
the toast proposed to the Soldiers home
of Southern California. In answer to
the sentiments "the army of the Cum
berland," Col onel H. G. Shaw said he
felt that he had had a new order OF
knighthood conferred upon him in being
called on to speak for an army that
had written its own history in blood
from the Ohio river to the sea. He
spoke in fattering terms of General Nc
Cooks relations to that army first as a
division commander and then as corps
commander. The army of the Cumber-
land ever cherished an affectionate feel
ing for General McCook, who had led its
first advance aud two Of whose brothers
had fallen among its slain.

mel H. G. Otis, ''lhe Judiciary by
Colonel G. Wiley Wells, and the LA
dies" by Captain w. H. Seamans.
