April H., 1890.
Twenty-ninc years ago to-day Abraham
Lincoln composed that eyentiul proclama-
ton, printed in the morning papers of Mon
day. April Is, 1861. that called for 10000 Of
the militia Of the Northern States to
put down the Conlederacy. One OF
the first regiments to respond was
the New York Seventh. How great has been
the change in sentiment since, is shown by
the invitation from Richmond, the very cit
adel of secession, for the same regiment 10
20 down there and honor the memory Of
/ Robert L. Lee. The more this startling
proposition is regarded by all true lovers Of
a reunited nation. the better they Ike 10.
I The more the fanatical frebrands, whose
whole stock in trade is the perpetuation Of
sectional ranc0r. view il. tho more they
seem determined TO prevent the auspicious
event. They well see that IL would obliier-
ate their baleful influence forever. The
| Brooklyn Eagle, in a editorial paragraph
/ yesterday, said.
] ~ I-liit MAY want u ''Nf'NNf - -'
ment at the ceremony OF the unleiiing Of the
| Lee monument and the seventh may want

thousands of ''l0il" souls Doe thrown II the

Ofc0urse. that the dead past ought 10 bury IFS
dead but request tO attend the Ohscqucs
often reveals the fact that "a good deal of it is
alive and Kicking
The gentlemen of the Invitation commit

| York. that the cycles of time have been
turned back 10 the historic days OF 'Ol. and
| the wind mills hard at work 10 reklndle the
/ blaze Of the old Union fires that lit the
/ Gotham Of those days.
| one company of the seventh, Company
/ b. Captain Daniel Il. Nesbitt. have decided
10 accept the invitation, provided they can
20 90 Richmond and return here in time for
| the Decoration Day parade Of May 5Oth.
/ The project is being freely discussed by the
other companies. and the general decision
will be arrived at probably this week. lhe
hubbub in the outside public is only COM
mencing. but il seems likely 10 bee pretty
lively before long.

, mond. But the Wheeling diocese also com
prises that portion Of Virginia lying wesl
. of the counties of Patrick, Franklin and

loneod t0 the county Of Montgomery
I The diocese Of Wheeling was erected ID
= 1850. while that of Richmond Is much older
and was established in 1871. As now ar
Hanged. the Bishop of Wheeling 10 WISH

b dculties for each bishop 10 have under hi
a jurisdiction faithful belonging 20 diiieren
