EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: | see in many
papers writers denounc;ng the action OF the
National Council of Administration for iufriug-
ing on the dates Of the Army of the Cumber-
land Reunion namely, Sept. 1920 1892, and
as all arc entitled to their say. allow me mine
| speak in behalf of the old Wilder Brigade
Fourth Division. Fourteenth Corps Army of
the Cumberland. This famous brigade is ar
ranging to erect and unvail nice monument
on the Goth Of September, 1892, the day it did
such noble work in that terrible battle OF Chick
amauga. and as nearly all the boys belong TO
the Grand Army OF the Republic and are also
members Of the Army of the Cumberland, we
want to attend the National GA x. Encamp-
ment But our dates have been fixed for two
years for this work. We join with the rest of
the Army of the Cumberland in earnestly
questing the National Council of Admnistra-
ton to change the time of meeting in Washing
ton either one week earlier or later. This can
be done By the National Council, but we of the
Army of the Cumberland would have to see the
whole Society.
Our first meeting occurred on the 18th, 18th,
and 20th Of September 1863. and We have held
annual meetings every year since and we feel
that the National Council of Administration
has unknowin2ly infriugcd upon Us ard our
dates, and feel that they should act charitably
towards US, remembering that charity is one Of
the great principles upon which our Order rests
We hope when the matter is properly put be-
fore the Council they will acquiesce in our pc
tition to change the dates of the National
meeting. | know this is the feeling OF every
comrade of the gallant old Army Of the Cum
berland.

is IL ConslituiiOnalf

EDITOR NATIONAL TgIBUNE: Over two
years ago i asked through THE NATIONAL
TRIBUNE for an opinion relative 10 the con-
stitutionality of the laws OF the Southern
States which compel their Taxpayers to pay
certain per cent. to be set apart as a fund
for the payment of rebel pensions. This State
North Cardinal raises its rebel pension fund
by a tax OF three cents on each hundred dol
lars worth Of property and poll-tax of nine
cents on each voter.
Now, l wish 10 again call your attention 10
section of the lIth Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States, which closes
rs follows: 3" But neither the United States nor
any State shall assume to pay any debt or ohli-
cation incurred In aid of instruction or rebel
lion against tho United States or any claim for
the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all
such debts, obligations, and claims shall be held
illegal and void"
Now, respectfully ask, if this claim for PEN
sions does not grow out OF rebellion against the
United States, what in the nation does il grow
out Of? Fit is debt which these States owe
these disabled Confederate soldiers IL certainly
was incurred in aid of instruction and re-
belion against the United States"
If the loyal people of the South feel disposed
TO contribute anything for the relief of the dis
aDled Confederate soldier, il should come from
them voluntarily as freewill Offering, and
not by compulsion. Let the rich old Bourbons
and rebels take care Of their own DOOR delude,i
victims.-W. II. ANDERSON, Co. H, sOth Ohio,

E. Emmons. the ossifed man, died at Port
Jefferson, j. l., recently, from the grip. He
was born in Port Jefferson 80 years ago. He
went to sea when he was very young, and was
taken dangerously sick aboard the ship with
typhoid fever, from which he partially recov-
cred. but it left him very weak. One Winter
he was afflicted with rheumatism in the legs
and arms while on return voyage and was
taken home. He never left the house again,
but lay there for 16 years.
His bones gradually ossifed. and he suffered
terribly for several years. His body was rigid
except an arm, of which he had the use. His
jaws were set, and he was fed through hole in
the mouth where tooth had been broken out.
lie could talk, hear, and read. His father was
afflicted in identically the same way, but died
before the joints were entirely set. Emmons
leaves a mother, four sisters, and one brother.
All of the family with the exception of the
mother are subject to rheumatism.

in which the 18th III. was engaged. They
were, however, at Chckasaw Bayou, Miss,
Dee. 90, 1862, in the assault on that
place, losing q killed, 107 wounded, aud 80
missing among them Col. Wyman. They
also took part in the capture of Arkansas Post,
the siege Of Vicksburg, being heavily engaged
on May %, and the second capture of Jackson,
Miss. They were in action at Missionary
Ridge and Ringgold. What other battles they
participated in we cannot tell. Fox's Regi-
mental Losses shows it lost six officers and 81
men killed or died of wounds two officers and
123 men died of disease. in prison, etc. The
