Bent on Union,

The text of the Pope's speech to the confer
ence held to consider the union of the Eastern
and Western Churches has just been made pu b.
lie although the speech was delivered OH the
oath. After praising all who had helped bring
about tho conference, he said:
We wish that all Governments alike had
embraced this grand ideal, inasmuch as the
work, if achieved, will be for the interest," and
benefit of the entire world but political views
and, still more, we regret to say, the unreassn-
able jealousies of some of the Governments
which show in what condition the Papacv is
placed, have prevented these reunions from
having the large aud solid results rightly ex.

UNION VETERAN LEGION.

A Comrade Thinks that the Order should
Take Action on the Per Diem Service PEN
sion Bill.
The Union Veteran Legion having been or
ganiZed late, after many Of the old veterans
had passed away from earth, many others. be-
ing earnest workers in the Grand Army of the
Republic, do not like to break away and leave
many good, loyal men, who are not eligibl to
membership in the U.V.L.; while still others,
who are too much disabled to attend meetings,
and others yet are not financially able to at
tend meetings Of Encampments where there
are no low rates made on railroad fares make
it possible for those very ambitious persons
who have means to gain the highest honors.
Such positions not always filled by the
| most capable or the most deserving, but schem-
ing ambition makes it possible for a few to
wear the gilded badges.
The Union Veteran Legion and its auxiliary
is grand organization, and can be the means
by which a great good can be accomplished;
but as yet those means have not been used,
which is somewhat dscouraging to the long
service veterans and their good wives. There
are very maBy men who did much long service
in less years than did other men.
The u. V. l.. and its auxiliary has O grand
opportunity now, and will have during the
next Congressional term to urge the per diem
service pension bill on to the attention of Con-
gressmsn.
do not urge this as pension in addition to
any disability pension. but want to see law
enacted which will not be subject to the caprice
of any political party or section of our country.
Let the service and honorable discharge papers
decide the claim of the veterans.
There are so very many men who served
long and faithfully who were disabled, but who
cannot now prove up their claims, or whose
proof is so feeble as to only get very low rat
ing.
Justice to all men demands most speedy
action in this line, and 1t Is very important
that the Union Veteran Legion take immedi-
ate steps to place the Order before the public
as friends of the men who stood at the front.
Many ex-soldiers and sailors are ready to
join whenever the society indicates by action
that such is their determination. An Encamp-
ment can be organized at Westerville of 25
members. j have their names and pledges to
join just as soon as assurance is given that
this action is taken.-H. WARREN PHELPS En-
campment 49, Mount Vernon, o.

and almost hoIlow-chested, resembling his
Danish mother.
Much interest is evinced In his ideas which
are more liberal than those of his father. He is
man Of peace. and seems to be without all the
warlike tendencies Of his predecessors. As re-

1868:
ResoIred, That tho allegations made as afore-
said, AS to the consent to surrender by Col.
Blakoley of his command to Gen. Jackson, at
Jackson River, is wholly and totally false, aud
without any foundation whatever and is a
gross libel on the military character of Col.
Blakeley.
That Col. Blakeley, instead of consenting to
surrender absolutely and positively refused to
surrender to the superior forces of the enemy
upon the demand made on him by Gen. jack
son.
That Col. Blakeley CALAMITY and heroically
then and there proffered to sacrifice his own
life and the life of every brave man under his
command, If necessary. TO protect his command
from capture and extricate it from its perilous
condition.
That it was through the personal bravery and
military skill of Col. Blakeley that the COM
mand was saved from being captured at the
time and place mentioned
That the facts herein mentioned are person.
