[ Special toTuu lire J In his welcoming ad dress .vestcrday Colonel Schuler , who is a grlrzled ohl veteran , with a face beaming with the milk of human kindness , said that it was not the old suldlcts nh nc to whom ho spoke , but to their vvlveis nnd daughters and sons , whom ho considered old soldiers too , In n way. Ho wanted everybody to feel that they wore welcomed to Camp Lincoln , and could pitch In heart ana soul and make the most out of a good thing an occasion to him of exceeding moro interest than the irreat Wet Id's fair , now charming Its millions of pcoplo at Chicago. Ho addc 1 that no ono need have any feats of molestation from auy source ; that stiiet mllltiry discipline was enforced throughout the encampment ; thut the guards weio always at their posts , ns well as a goodly squad of police and deputy sheriffs ; that they should all feel ns safe as If they were In their own homos. He consldcicd a reunion of the old soldiers a sacicd thing , uud no place for anything but thu exchange of goodwill and affection. After thu colonel had retired , amid the shouts \ of his old comrades , W. P. Conway , . . . a private of the Ninety-fourth Illinois , nnd a man who saw much thrilling service with the Army of the Gulf , took the stand , and In an inimitable way sang "Undo Abe Will do Huglu and do Fhio1 , " A darky melody Unit fairly too1 : the big crowd by storm. Of course , ho had to come again and ngaiii , nnd his "Old Gtavbick" and "Marching Thiough Georgia , " were ticats of a genuine kind. The entire assemblage took part in cbor-s of the latter song , and tlio vclumo of sound , as it arose from the shady grove , echoed far away down the Republican's lovely valley. Hurrah ! liurr.ihl ne bring thu jubilee ; Hurrah ! hurrah ! for Ihu Hag thut made jou fiee So wo sang tlio chorus from Atlanta to the sun , AMille we were in irchliiK through Georgia. Those aio the lines that rekindle all the latent tire in the old soldier's heart , make his oits ! sparkle over again with thu bril liancy of iouth , sends a tingling through his nerves and sols his heart to bounding as no lllgnt of otatory or sound of cjmbiil , diuui and brass can evei do. Thuio weio songs and short stoiles by other old vetcians , but the tall Kansas man had thu call , and he was obliged to favor the crowd once more , and again just befoio the closing of tbo ceremonies. Tno Tntort ilnlnc Aililrossos. The address of Prof. Andtons was a flue ono , and held the crowd entapt through out. Ho said this great reunion was very suggestive of Iho incidents and principles of our late civil war. " 1 do not ask " ho " you , said , "to dwell cn- litcly upon the inestimable sacrifices of thosodavs , but rather upon thu fact that watfaio has been an important factor in human ptogiess. Recount the intellectual warf.uo which has led the race from the daiktipss of the past to tbo glory and light of the present.

" In his peroration Mi. Androtvs soared in lofty realms , and the old soldicts and tlieit ft lends attested to their appreciation in long , loud and vigoious chcots. Colonel O. H. Coulter was the 1 ist spe ikor intioduced , and he , too , made a hit. His ad dress was moio of the niituio of a chat , easy , gtacoful and highly ontei talnin , about cquulli bilanccd us to pathos and humor Ho talked light at the old fellows iu blue in a lunguige they all spoke ; told them things they had piobabli ho ml a huncltcd limes before ; made them laugh one moment and draw their sleeves acioss their oiestho next. Of coinso , when hugot throusli thoio was an outbuist ofvheeis that must have made his heart palpitate with the pleasing feeling tlmt he was one of them His windup - up was a unique one. "If theio are any men in this great cro wd of old vvaniors who went with Sherman to the sea , let them stand up " Asi \ by magic there wcro a couple of bundled manlv forms , some of them bent with ago ami decrepitude , iot clothed , despite - spite nil this , iu the fullness of their manli ness , standing In the aisles und among the benches "Ileio , my follow cltl/ons , " exclaimed the facetious colonel , "is a fair s implo of the chicken thieves of the Army of thu Cumber land " And then the old follows fairly howled in ecslacy , shipping cich other on thu bick and giasping bands , as if ihuy had just mot after a p irting of a score of ye irs Coloiiol < milter .Vftor llu.io Smith. In a btiof interview'witn Colonel Coulter on the probiblo notion of the Gland Aimy of Iho Republl-j concerning Iho suspension of pensions , he said. "Why , I believe that us a body It will suicly take stops to test the l"galitv of Hoke bimth's outer on the pen sion question That this oiifer comes fiom a Guoit'lan , lee , Is puticulaiii galling to iho soldleis who served In the tunics and navies of the union nt a time whan his state was tri lnr to lire lie out of the fold I think It is the duti the Grand Army owes itself to make this fellow come into com l .ind bo made to prove hta claims of fiaud on the p u t of pensioners lu the past the cii.ind Army has been too lenient in regard - gard to these tilings , and it is time now for uvory fllltcoroi old soldier In any position to speak out just what ho thinks about the ma ttcr Thci o hat o been aspei aions cast on the old homes of ' 01-5 , iho men who do- seitc'd liiesido and homo to piotcct the flag fiom just such icbels as Hoke Smith , and if they lenmln silent and passive under this foul attack , I will think thu old fires of those inumoraulo duvs have died out indeed , And I might add th it there Is no bettor or more appropriate plico than at just such reunions as this , when thu slaiidcicd voluiaus are all together , of giving voice to their sentiments , and It is to be hoped that this opportunity will not bo allowed lo pass unimproved " Taking Filing * ut Thrlr i : iu.

StaioTicasurerHartley asked Mr. Hn.vden to glvohlm written notice of the decision. This the receiver agreed to do as soon as possible , but up to this evening it had not found its way to the treasurer's ofllcc. Hecelvor Ha.vdcn was seen by TUB BIT. correspondent this evening , but was ex tremely reticent lu regard to the subject. Ho admitted that It was true that ho hud decided not to allow the claim of tba state , and that he was acting under ndtico from the attorneys , Messrs Cobb & Harvey and G. M Lambcitson. lie had hoped to have placed n written opinion in the hands of the state trcasuior befoto tlifs , but the absence of Mr L imbertson , w ho had been called to Wisconsin by the death of .1 sister , had delated the matter. Ho pre- feriod not to discuss the matter further. llx-Treasurer Illll IK Not U'orrjliiir. The question has boon raised ns to whether this action upon the pait of the re ceiver has not prejudiced the case of ox- Treasurer Hill , who Is defendant in the suit brought by Judge Wukolev on bahalf of Gov ernor Crounso to recover the amount de posited in the bank when it closed its doors. The cx-treisurer wns seen ut his homo by Tin : Br.is early this ov cuing. He stated that ho had heard of the mailer onl.v this aftctuoon , and that ho had talked with At- torneis Cobb & Harvey In regard to the matter. Thcv had assuted him. ho said , that no decision had as \et been reached ; that iho attention of the comptiollor of the currency had been con sulted , and that oflleial had icfeired the question bacit to the nttornu.v for tin opinion The ox-Iteasuier knew nothing futthorNin togaid lo Iho now matter , and did not show any indications of uneasiness over the new and unexpected developments in the case. Ihe de.ision of liucolver Hat don not to allow the stato's el ilm has also given a new compileition to the case which is likely to drac In suvetal pcoplo who have notup to the picscnt time llgutcd prominently in the muddle. Itnlrir * u I'nrtliK'iit Point. When Treasurer' Battlov assumed the duties of hia onico hciccclvcd fiom his pic- docessor certificates of deposit on the Capital National bink for over fciOO- 000 Those certificates woio deposited in the bank the next day by .Deputy Tre.is- urof Hartley to thb credit of the state treas urer. Iho bank accepted- the cot tiflcates , credited the ontlro amount to the state treasurer , opened a now account in n now pass book and then destroyed the certificates Treasurer Baitley stated th.it ho felt that Wl7OOJ ! was too much to keep on deposit in auv one bank , and with the view of reducing it us speedily as possi ble checked out something like $ -10,000 within the first few dais after bo -had assumed his olllce It was this extraordinary and unexpected demand of the state tieasutct tliit precipitated the failure of the Dank. Now the question has pie- sented itself to sevoial prominent finan ciers in Lincoln , how is Receiver Havdon to trcit the $ IOOOJ piirt out on checks signed by State Trcasuicr Butlei ? If he holds that the st ito funds wore not Jo- posllcd in tne bink and vet admits that the bank recogni/od the state tieasuier's checks to the extent of $ .10,000 , does he ptoposo to consider the latter amout.t as an ovetdiaft and attempt to collect it from the state Ueasuier ? This is the question asked by ono of the Intel | estod parties , but It cannot be answered until J the legal opinion of Kc-cclvcr H.i > den's attorneys is given to the public. Will Wiilt for VVrlltdii Nollcr. State Treasurer Hartley s lid this evening that It was clearly evident that the claims of the stiito would bo ignored , nml that it was perfectly safe to assume that the st.alo would got n share of the receiver's dividends only after u law suit. He could not say what he should do in regard to thu matter until ho had toeoived the written notice fiom the receiver and could ascertain the legal ground upon which the icceivor's de cision was based.

That is why the state has never made a demand upon the bank for the money ! after the manner of regular depositor S. rreasiuut-Uarlloy wanled this demand made , but I advised verj distinctly against it , ami Governor Crounso and Attorney al Hastings declined to make it. The to has supposed and alleged that the money was deposited as claimed , but it makes no difTcienco to our case whether it was or not. This assertion on the part of the lecelyor , that the money never was deposited , Is something that I had not heard before. If Captain Hill did not deposit it. that is his lookout and not thu concern of the stato. If lie did not dejwsit It he Is certainly liable for the money , and if ho did deposit it , ho unlawfully converted it to his own use by so doing , and therefore embezzled it and violated Ills bond , This has nil along been the contention uf the auto , and this now statement will uot change the situation nt all. Will Proceed Moulll ) . Treasurer Bartloy has locc-ntly made a de mand for iho money , und I suppose that la w lint called forth the declaration on the part of the receiver I hatonoldea whether the money was deposited or ngt , but It la curtain that there were certificates of de-posit show ing that the money had been received by the bank. There were a number of Irregularities regularities practiced in connection with irhe bank's paper , but I believe this Is the nisi time that It has been alleged that the ex- treasurer's certificates weiu bogus , JX10 claim heretofore hating been lhat Iho money was actually deposited , but thut the bank's books wore doctored so as to defraud the bank and docolvo tbo directors and bink ox- umlner.
