The House republicans held eau
Gus to exchange opinions on the two

the other slightly amending present
laws Owing TO the difference OF
opinion among republicans it is re-
garded a probable that the question
will be allowed to go over TO the mex
session.

UProvidence. r. l., Journal)
At Richmond there has been no notice
able bitterness In connection with the
meeting OF the veterans OF 1S6i-'65. The
largest assembagc OF old soldiers In the
South since the close OF the war has been
attended only by expressions OF fraternal
gooN-will and loyalty to the government.
NO inappropriate outburst has attracted
the attention OF the alarmists at the
North. nor have the latter sought occa-
sion to criticise the former wearers OF
the gray. The reunion. instead OF calling
out mutual expressions OF distrust. has
sealed anew the bond which binds both
sections OF the country more firmly than

with bitter feelings on account OF the old
issues. For this let US be thankful.
