Editor The Chronicle -
Staid old Morristown, the ideal, the
model, the yirtuous, must now as
sumo the penitent garb of sack cloth
and ashes. From time immemorable
this historic place has held her head
high in conscious appreciation of her
own rectitude. When breathings of
scandalous nature were waited
thitherward from other places
where virtue did not hold the ex-
celsior mark. Morristown always
drew her unstained skirts close to her
person ana looked frowningly toward
her neighbor. But, alasl All this
has changed and the head of the
naughty dame is bowed in confusion
and shame The eyes that would
sparkle with indignation at the hear
ing of scandalous morsel are now
suffused with tears at her own delin-
quency. The lips that would culver
with contempt while listening to a
shady tale are now curved in humil-
iation. Such sorrows as Morristown
now experiences are said to be akin
to those whichDevine authority show
ed was felt in olden times by the cities
of the Plains. My residence in
Morristown has been brief but during
the period l have learned so much
from trustworthy sources that if ever
I felt like following the eminent
reconteurs Homer and Virgil by
invoking the goddess muse to make
me a master mechanic in the trade
of using words, it is at this moment
when undertake to set down certain
things that occur here which is due
to the laxity of the authorities.
/ understand that gamblers ply
their nefarious vocation with little
attempt at cover. that games of
chance are conducted openly; that
saloon keepers violate the ordinance
governing the sale of liquors and
most astonishing of all that the
town enjoys the distinction of having
located within it's confines the only
pool rooms where betting on horses
is permitted without the bookmakers
submitting to protection bribes.
While pool rooms throughout the
great city of New York are nightly
closed, except in a few instances,
the lively game goes merrily on
here without question or interference
on the part of the police authorities.

Morristown, while it may have the
reputation of being the most exclusive
residential town within fifty miles
of New York, is patriotic to it's very
backbone, and this fact was never
more apparent than when it is
privileged to welcome the old vet
Grams, who in the trying days of
'61-5, upheld at the front the honor
of country and state.
The reception which attended the
reunion of the survivors of the 7th
today, was no exception to that which
has been extended to former regimen
tai associations.
The record of the Seventh is in
deed one of which all can be proud
of. Responding early in the sum
mer of 81 to ''Father Abraham's" call
for volunteers for three years, it was
organized, officered, and equipped by
the third of September, and mustered
into service at Camp Olden, Trenton.
The regiment was dispatched under
the command of the late, General
Joseph W. Revere, it's first colonel,
to Washington on the 10th of Sep
tember, where il went into camp at
Meriden Hills, remaining there until
the early part of December, when it
was ordered to report to General
Hooker at Budds Ferry, Maryland ;
there with other regiments it was
brigaded, and designated as the
Third Brigade, Hooker's Division.
1t was mustered out at Washington,
D. G., July II, 1865. The Seventh
was one of four regiments, com
prising the Seoo~d Brigade, N. j..
Volunteers.
In accordance with the program
arranged by Torbet Post and Commit

More surprising yet is the fact that
one room has been conducted I'M
ceasingly for nearly two years.
These dens of iniquity are situated
almost within a stones throw of
Police Headquarters. One owned
by saloon keeper is located in
Speedwell Avenue. Another is loca-
ted in a pool and billiard room on the
north side of the park, while in an
office on Washington street near
Court, can be found another.
The method of conducting the
games is unique. About two hun
dred persons, including certain bust
ness men, and embryo sports, evoke
bets daily on the races at the various
tracks in sums from fifty cents to $50.
There are no wires running into
the places and no bets are cashed nm
til the day following the races. At
that time the successful bettors are
paid according to the odds published
in New York newspaper.

Dr. Stephen Pierson who officiated as
POSTMASTER, welcomed those present in
his usual happy manner. Following the
singing of the Star Spangled Banner" !"
Mayor Reed extended to the
"Boys in Blue" the greetings of Nor
ristown. President Emmell was then
called upon, and was succeeded by Hon.
Alfred Mills. He spoke of the
valiant work of Company X, the first
fully equipped company to leave Nor
ristown for the front. He further
touched upon the noble work the regi-
ment accomplished during the War of
the Rebellion, commenting on the
granite monument that now marks the
spot where the soldiers bravely held
their ground at Gettysburg. Major
Brown of Company K was the next
speaker; upon the conclusion of his
remarks he received three cheers and a
"tiger." "Tenting On the Old Camp
Ground" was then sung and an inter-
esting account of the movements of the
Seventh" during the war from diary
kept by President Emmell was Tread by
Augustus l.. Revere,
Vice Chancellor Pitney talked on
"Reminiscences in a manner that
brought tears to the eyes of more than

After ".Tohn Browns Body" had been
sung in true army style, Rev. DR..
Albert Erdman, who while serving as
chaplain of the 141st N. Y, fought at
Gettysburg and on other battlefields
with the soldiers of the Seventh, closed
the meeting in his usual felicitous
manner. The reunion of the regiment
will probably be held in Paterson next
