was voted down, also a motion to re-
port it adversely failed on tie vote.
The bill therefore will go to the Sen
ate without recommendation. 1t is the
expectation of friends of the recipro-
city bill that the Root amendment
will be defeated in full Senate. A
canvass indicates that there is ma
iority opposed to the Root amend
ment, and it is expected that after
long debate the bill will pass pre-
cisely as II passed the House and in
due course receive the signature of
the President.
Representative Lewis of Maryland
this week introduced bill to merge
the express companies of the United
States into the postofiice system with
the object of reducing the rate over
one-half on small parcels and about
one-third generally, and to extend the
system to the country districts by
help of the rural delivery, which he
proposes to extend further. Mr.. Lewis
says, There are two main reasons
why postal express is necessary
first, the express company service does
not reach the country and the farms,
and second, the contracts of the eX-
press companies give them an ever
age rate of threefourths of n cent
per pound on parcels with the rail
ways, while the government is paying
the railways DC a pound for carrying
mail In order to get this compare
lively cheap transportation rate for
the carriage of parcels, / propose that
the express companies contracts with
the railways be acquired by condem-
nation, on the doctrine of the right
of eminent domain, and that bonds
be issued by the government to raise
the necessary funds" Mr. Lewis full
ly explained his plan in an address in
the House. He showed that the
charge for carrying express packages
in the United States is sixteen times
as much as for carrying freight, while
the average in other countries is onely
five times as much He said that the
express companies were making so

The Democratic wool tariff bill which
has been so bitterly opposed by Mr..
Bryan, who is in favor of free wool, is
now under debate in the House of Rep
resentatives. Victor Murdoch of Kan
sas, the famous insurgent spoke
against it on the ground that it af-
forded protection to the so-called
"worsted trust" He especially at
tackled the 40 per cent duty on wool
cloths which the bill contains, urg-.
ing that it afforded protection to the
monopoly that controls the worsted
output. 81 cannot see how any man
here" said Mr. Murdock, knowing
the worsted trust, Knowing it's gross
and cruel brutality in the fabric field,
can back it up while it continues to
twist its long, strangling fingers
around the throat of the American
consumer. l cannot see for the life
of me, how any man in the American
Congress can aid the worsted trust
by putting a tariff on worsted either
as frankly avowed measure of pro-
lection, or under the pretense of a
tariff for revenue. The worsted trust
has so debased the quality of goods
that the consumer buys, that clothing
manufacturers have been ashamed to
pass the fabrics on the wearers.

LETT Atlanta before daylight, November Is.
1864.
Much of the country passed through was
fine farming land. Now and then a
swampy place gave slight opposition to
our Progress, but our march to within two
or three miles of Savannah was practic-
ally unopposed.
A few stragglers were captured by the
rebel cavalry. some of whom were muir
dered. A few who We're Freemasons were
well treated and soon paroled and allowed
to return to our lines.
AT Milledgeville. then the capital of the
state, we stopped t~hirty-six hours, my
quarters being the comptroller's office in
the state house, where Is and 5O-cent shin
plasters were piled to the ceiling.
During the march we drew half rations
of coffee and sugar and, when needed,
hard tack. These, with fresh pork, poul-
try. mutton, beef, bacon, hams, sweet po-
tatocs. etc., made our fare the best we
had had in over -four years service.
The weather was generally fine and so
mild we could battle all over In the nu-
merous rivers and creeks we crossed.
About The LIST of December l saw ca
mellias. roses, etc, in bloom as with us
in June.
When we came to a railroad, we de-
stroyed 1t by piling the ties, dollhouse
fashion. and placing the rails on top. Be-
ing hard pine, the ties burned readily, and
when the rails became red hot they were
twisted by means of clamps applied to
each end so as to be Of no use till they
had paid a visit to the rolling mill.
As 1t is much easier marching at the
head of a column of troops zach day a
change was made. by which those who
were in the advance one day were in the
rear the next, and while we sometimes
march might not terminate till after mid
night.
During the siege Of Savannah the
grub question became q very serious
one. Those of us who were on the left of

MEMORIAL DAY.

Where the flowers in their beauty set tho
woodlands all aglow,
And the crystal rivers laughing to tho
distant ocean flow,
Where the bees are In the clover and the
sun of summer shines,
And the shadows OH. the grasses are the
shadows of the pines
Comes a people forth to duty meath thu
banner of the stars,
And the nation weaves a chaplet for the
heroes of her wars;
For the men who went to battle, for tina
tender and the true
Who are sleeping in the sunshine in their
uniforms of blue.
Where the ~Shenandoah's music wakes the
echoes of the glen,
And the Mississippi rushes past the busy
haunts of men,
From the shadow of Katahdin. with his
eerie crest of SHOWS.
To the land of endless summer, where the
Sacramento flows.
There are m forever silent, for no
drums within them beat,
And the bugles of the battle blow no
Charge" and no Retreat
upon heroic bosoms falls the scented
bloom of May,
And a grateful nation kneeleth on her
w Memorial day.
One can almost hear the music OF tho
mighty, marching lines
AS they swept in matchless phalanx
meath the cypress and the pines,
But the %cannon's rut is hidden by the lily
and the rose,
And the veterans march together who in
battle met as foes:
A grand, united nation stands beneath
our banner free,
One in purpose one in glory. from majes-
tic sea to sea;
Fearing none and own with splendor,
scars our eagle in the sun,
AS proud as when he scared above the
plume of Washington.
Gently from the hands of beauty ~love-in-
vested flowers fall
Not a hero's grave is missing, there IL
love enough for all:
Blossoms fair for those who battled
where the British gun grew still.
And a people rose to grandeur from the
slopes of Bunker Hill!
Roses red and white for thousands who
at home and far ava
In the shadow and the sunshine, camp
forever and a day:
Let the south!and's proud palmetto touch
the Northland's gentle pine.
Where the birds are singing sweetly on
the battles ghostly line.
We've seen the sons of those who met as
foemen or the plain
Beneath the folds of Freedoms flag. their
young blood shed like rain,
Until the wretched wrath of hate fed
shriektng on the blast.
And Peace looked down upon our land
and, smiling, said: AT lastr!'
One flag for all Americans. no matter
where they be!
One flag above our heroes graves upon
the LAND and sea!
And flowers for the brave who sleep
where soft the breezes blow,
And the singing southern rivers, thro' q
land united flow.
The veteran crowns his comrade to the
music of the drum,
The nation cav heroic wreaths, and
will for years to come:
In the cycles still before US. In the cen.
turtles to be
The rose will fall upon the brave who
rest twiXt sea and sea:
And Columbia. fairer, greater. as she
mounts the heights of fame.
Will carve on her Respondent shield with
pride each hero's name;
And the tide that PUSHES outward to the
countries far away
Will tell the beauteous story of our lands
