North and South.

The proposal Of the Young Mems Bust
ness Association OF Richmond that the
Grand Army of the Republic should ne
invited 10 hold its encampment IN that
city two years hence was a welcome lndl-
cation OF the growth of kindly feeling be-
tween the North and South. The enter
tainment OF the G.. \. r. in the capital
city Of the Confederacy, where FOR long
time the deepest resentments growing OUT
OF the war were cherished, would be an
impressive event. IL IS not certain that
such an invitation. however cordially OF
fered. would have been accepted. for many
considerations affect the choice OF place
for a reunion Of veterans; but there can
be no doubt that IL would at least have
elected a grateful response, and the mere
suggestion is exceedingly pleasing. II
now appears probable however, thdt the
plan OF tho young business men OF ken,
mond will be relinquished, for Colonel
CussOns the Virginia State COMMANDER
OF the United Confederate Veterans mas
expressed his disapproval, and his IN
fluence Is expected 10 be decisive.
Colonel Cussons letter OF dissent, which
Is remarkable for its broad and generous
sentiments, derives its chief interest rom
the reasons which " presents in opposi-
ton TO the proposal IL might have been
assumed that IL he declined 10 support
the project he would do so because or an
aversion 20 seeing Northern veterans en-
camped I'm Richmond. or at least that ms
chief sOlicitude would be 20 spare the
people OF his own section the revival or
painful memories. But his attitude Is pre-
cisely the reverse of that. His fear IS
that the members OF the Grand Army
might possibly be disappointed in respect
10 the cOrlality Of their reception; or
IL there were no cause OF complaint on
that score that their own appreciation OF
the circumstances might impose sucn a
restraint upon them as would mar the
pleasure OF their reunion. Colonel GUS
sons Is inclined 10 think that the time has
not yet quite arrived for the proiier OF
the suggested invitation, and that us ac-
ceptance might tend 10 retard rather than
TO hasten tho complete restoration OF
fraternal relations
II Is possible that the Confederate COM
mander is unduly anxious and that the
presence OF the Grand Army In Richmond
under conditions appealing strongly 10
the hospitality OF her people might de-
velop a new and grateful warmth OF feel
ing which would produce the most agree
able and salutary consequences, but his
knowledge and judgment are entitled 10
respect. and II his apprehension Is well
founded his conclusion IS wise. In any
case his motive is admirable. and our
chief purpose i'm this comment upon his
letter is to express appreciation OF his
delicate and generous consideration. IL
IS In itself valuable contribution to the
growth Of that mutual esteem and affec-
ton which he hopes may soon obliterate
the last yestige OF sectional antagOnism.
