UNION VETERANS UNION.
Congress Wanted to Purchase the Old Fort
Stevens battle-ground Resolutions
Concerning COnfederates.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The Union
Veterans union, at its session yester-
day, selected its executive committee
for the coming year, consisting of the
rational officers and one member
from each of the departments of the
union. The union adopted resolu-
ton favoring the appropriation by
congress of sufficient money to pur-
chase the old Fort Stevens battle
ground, District of Columbia, for a
national military reservation. 1t
was there that President Lincoln was
under fire while encouraging the
small force that protected the capi-
tai from the advance of Gen. Early.
Comrade Pierce, Of Georgia, intro
duced a set of resolutions against the
display of the confederate colors,
which ELECTED much comment. After
some discussion resolutions on the
subject were adopted, in part as fol-
lows: THAT the blending of these
mathematical colors, the entwining
of the union flag with the confeder-
ate flag, must of necessity be futile
and empty, a mere mockery, an un-
seemly effort to harmonic adverse
principles.
"ln the capacity Of personal friends
and blood relations we extend to those
who fought against us the full meas
ure of national affection and, when
they act in the capacity of law-abid-
ing citizens of the republic, we cheer
fully give to them our recognition;
but when they act in the capacity of
confederates, making an unpatriotic
display of the confederate colors, we
unhesitatingly decline to accord them
the slightest recognition or afiilia-
ton"

died in the mountains Of Laguna PROV
ince after having made their escape
from the insurgents, by whom they

two or three large freight boats avail

the trusts to Mr.. Hanna's campaign
fund. The trusts provide the means
with which to put the syndlcated can

didates when elected provide a way
for the trusts TO get their money back
