Mia AUDKEtb OF WELCOME TO THE
VETKKANs-.
Vetei:axs of a Cheat Wau It
will repay you to meet here to
strengthen the sacred ties formed in
the dark days of camps and battle
fields. You nobly answered the
nation's call to arms; and now that
the need which drew you from your
homes is of the past, this cannot but
be a week of pleasure. You will
recall the vivid scenes in which you
were actors when the nation was
etruggliug for life. The tented field
is yours again. The mystic chord
of memory, stretching from every
battlefield of the rebellion, to this
our camp of peace, saddens, yet
heightens the interest we all feel in
this vast assemblage saddens, for
memory, true to noble deeds, but
into living presence, the brave who
died for their country. "We cannot
look upon this gathered army, over
this 6cu of tents, ou the warlike atti
tude iu which you stand, without
thinking that this is but a faint re
hearsala shadowy recollection of
the great tragic act twenty years
ago.
Then, human slavery hung like a
dark pall over our land, and obscur
ed the nobler elements of our insti
tutions. Then, doubt and uncer
tainty clouded our future, and shut
out the glory that is to-day, while
even marshalled armies felt a fear
lest the nation itself should die.
Then the monarchies of Europe
whispered among themselves, and
laid their plans for the future, as
though the republican form of gov
ernment were at an end. "We say,
whispered for, although they be
lieved we were in our death strug
gle, in tho coined words of Lord
KtHseli, we were the "disunited
slates"' yet, even then, they feared
to speak so as to be heard on this
side of the Atlantic. Hence it was,
that the plans for the recognition of
the Honthcrn confederacy never went
beyond the secret confidences of
diplomacy, and never became em
bodied iu the outspoken word.
Now, how changed the aspect; the
same flag that we sec floating to-day,
tin fur I rd its folds to cheer on to
victory then. Yet one almost thinks,
as he looks upon it, that it also is
changed, other than in the number
of its etars. We almost imagine that
its stripes bear a deeper red, ming
ling the blood of the great struggle
with that of the revolution, while
its fold has caught, more of the sky's
unfading blue, and its stars reflect
more of heaven's eternal justice.
To-day it floats a symbol of a broad
er humanity a nobler civilization.
Thanks to the brave men assembled
here aud their comrades throughout
the laud thanks also to the honored
dead a new era has dawned. The
monarchs of the old world no longer
assume an attitude of defiance to
ward us; but, with their own exist
ence threatened, they are endeavor
ing to satisfy an enlightened age
that tyrrany, in a modified form, is
. better than liberty. But their efforts
will be vain. The progressive opin
ion of the civilized world is stamp
ing this great fact upon our day aud
generation that tyranny and perse
cution have become their own exe
cutioners, like Milton's angels,
Vital in every part, not frail as man,
Cannot hut by annihilating die.
Our welcome is not extended to
day simply to perpetuato military
prowess, but rather tho principles
for which brave men died. It is to
celebrate the struggle that establish
ed the equality of man. It is to re
mind the young and generous that,
from tho camp fires aud .battlefields
of the civil war, truth and liberty
came forth victors ; and, under their
guiding staffof peace, bade us march
to heights in national prosperity,
and national greatness, unparalleled
in the history of nations. From that
struggle a new era dawned upon the
world. The darkness of slavery
passed away forever, and, iu the
bright light of freedom, we arc now
writing the graudest history of all
the ages. It is for this cause that
tho soldier is welcomed here to-day,
in the name of a union restored, a
nation redeemed in the name of
this state, the first born of this "new
era;" the first to proclaim that high
er, purer, nobler liberty ; declares to
the wide world that, no matter what
color God painted His child wheth
er bleached at the poles or blackened
by the tropics the moment he
touches our soil he arises to raan-
hood's height, holding in his ric
hand the freeman's shield and wi
Igbt
wea
ponthe ballot. In the name of
this city, which never knew the
Might of slavery, aud which owes
so much of its magic growth to the
new idea, we bid you welcome.
The iutcrest in this meeting is
heightened by tho auspices of the
times in which we meet. We have
prosperity and peace. We congrat
ulate ourselves that our president,
himself a brave soldier, is fast re
covering from the asasin's blow.
Aud while words fail to tell how we
detest tho cowardly act, our nation
stands in the proud attitude of de
claring that only the law's stern
decree shall be administered to the
culprit. The assassin's bullet only
struck and wounded a distinguished
American citizen. The solid ada
mant of our institutions remains un
harmed untouched.

HIS ADDRESS ON TAKING COMMAND OF
THE CAlll.
Lincoln, Neb., September 6JTh"e'
camp was to-day formally turned
over to the command of General
Maudcrsou. Iu assuming com
maud, he said :
My Comrades : I have looked into
some of your laces at different times
from this; I have seen your laces
when with eyes bedimmed with
tears you bade farewell twenty years
ago to the home and friends ; I have
looked into your faces when they
expressed the fatigue of the toilsome
inarch; I have looked into your
faces when they were lighted with
battle fires; I have looked into your
glad faces ou the day of glorious
victory; I have looked into your
faces when you returned after four
years of tearful strife, victoiious
aud glorifying in a nation, yet never
looked into your faces with more
pleasure than I do to-night. It is
twenty years more than twenty
years since the war commenced,
aud fifteen jears since it closed, and
to-night I see upon your faces that
you who have helped the couutry
are reaping the ripe fruits of your
victory. My friend Marquette
speaks of this new era of prosperity.
Why, where is there more prouper
ity than in this young state of Ne
braska, of which we are so proud?
Good crops are rewarding the skill
aud industry of the husbaudman.
You have come here with your
wives and little ones and friends to
shake each other by the hand, aud to
recall your battles fought and lost
or won. These gatherings of the
federal soldiery have been criticised
somewhat. Wo are told they should
not be held ; that they keep alive a
sectional and uufratcrnal strife that
ought to be forgotten. I am not one
that so believes. I feel like saying
to you to-night, as your great chief
tain, Gen. Grant, said at Dcs Moines
not many years ago, that he was not
ready to apologizo to anybody for
the part ho had taken in tho war.
Loud applause. You ai e not ready
to apologize and never will be,
voices "no", and your children's
children to the most remote genera
tion will point to your record as a
union soldier as the brightest blaze
on the family escutcheon. Renewed
cheers. Army reunions are held
all over this country, but 1 believe
in no state do they create so deep an
interest :ih they do iu Nebraska.
Nebraska had two regimcuts of iu
fautry and one of cavalry during the
uar. There are few survivors of
those battalions, and to them, we
who come from other states assign
in these encampments and among
our battalions tho place of honor.
You represent our whole army. In
this encampment I doubt not there
are veterans from ever northern
stale. When the roll of states was
called at Camp Buford a year ago
evorj' northern state answered ex
cept Nevada, and the border states
that, front troops to tho war were
also represented in the battalions
there, aud I have no doubt but that
it will be so here also. You come
from tho rocky granite hilled New
England ; you come from the mines
and work-shops of the middle At
lantic; you come from the fertile
valleys of the western states; you
have come here to make the prairie
bring forth its abundant and satis
fying harvest. I sec gathered hero
to-night men who were comrades of
Sherman, who marched with Sher
man aud his bummers from Atlanta
to the sea. Loud cheers. I Bee
those, also, who were comrades of
George II. Thomas; peace to his
memory ; those who stood with him
when he was the rock of Chicka
raauga and wrestled victory from
defeat. I see those here who stood
with gallant Phil, the hero of Win
chester. Indeed, I seo representa
tives of all localities and all our
armies of the Potomac, of the Cum
berland, Tennessee, Ohio, of the
James, of the Gulf, and of the south
west all these have representatives
iu this reunion. Why, I had a sur
prise here to-day; a man came to
me aud at the first glance I did not
recognize him. There was some
thing unnatural about his appear
ance. A little boy was in his arms,
and that boy I certainly had not
seen before a laugh and there were
grey hairs in his head. Yet there
was something in his face that was
familiar, and taking a second glance
and I knew him to be a man who
had served in company D of the 19th
Ohio. He was one of my own boys
a man whom I could take heartily
by the hand and congratulate him
on the past and on the preeent. So
with you all. You meet those who
stood with you Bboulder to shoulder
in tho fight; who drank with you
from the same canteen in the jolly
days of the camp and bivouac; who
traveled with you on long and tire
some march; who went with you
into the battle; who rejoiced with
you when tho victory was won'; and
the man canuot come here and shake
hands with you who regards this
unncccsearj'. He is unworthy of
the name of soldier. Cheers.
Omaha Republican.

John Stauffer,
County Clerk.
Attest:
There is a suspicious amount of
superfluous sympathy manifested by
some of the New York papers for
the Malley boys of New Haven, who
have been arrested for the murder
of Jennie Cramer. It is represented
they arc being unjustly incarcerated,
unless the coroner has some evi
dcuce that lie liui not made public
and that if he has any. such evidence
he ought to let the accused know of
it. Othcriwe they ought to be en
larged upon bail.
The Malleys arc wealthy, while
the supposed victim was the child
of poor parents. The Malleys un
doubtedly led a virtuous girl into
ruin, through the most sneaking aud
cowardly methods, having imported
a prostitute from New York, and
introduced her to Jennie as a repu
table lady friend, mid blinded her
parents in letting her ride out and
make railroad excursions with them
and the New York decoy duck,
Blanche Douglas, as she was called.
Finally there i3 little doubt that she
was induct d, under the iufluence of
drugs, or at le'ist intoxicating li
quoiv, to stay at the house of one of
the, Malleys, who was for tho timo
its sole occupaut besides the ser
vant, for a night with the girl
Douglas and the two young nicu.
Shortly after, having been driven
from her homo by her enraged
father, who did not believe the pre
text made by her and the Douglas
girl for her absence from home, and
having spent several days more or
less iu tho company of the para
mours and the decoy, she was found
in shallow water on the beach dead
oue.Saturday evening, but the proof
is that she had not drowned but had
been placed in tho water after death.
The Douglas girl at firsl told a
story denying all these facts, but
subsequently on being rearrested in
New York, confessed her part iu
the tragedy up to a short time be
fore the death of the girl, and her
story is amply corroborated. Now
so far as tluj tale is established by
corroborative testimony, it involves
the two young men iu a sufficient
amount of villainy to relieve the
public of any undue burden of sym
pathy for them. If they did not
actually kill the girl, but merely
drove hur to suicide, their residence
in jail for a lime until the facts are
further developed will be no par
ticular outrage upon tho rights of
the people or upon the "feelings" of
the cold-blooded seducers.
Besides, the number of witnesses
that have mysteriously disappeared
since the arrest of the two young
men, suggests that it will be best
lor the law to keep its hand upon
their collars for a time. Innocent
people arc not apt lo spend the
money iiccoHsary to ellect such a
singular hegira of citjzeus who arc
supposed to know something that
would f-hed light upon the charges
made against them. To Iba Journal
there seems littlo doubt that the evi
dence raises a strong presumption
of their guilt, and that being the
ense they arc not legally bailable
Just now. They should not be hung,
perhaps, upon what evidence has
transpired, but they should he held
in a very secure place, until a full
examination of the facts and tho
hunt, for more light have been com
pleted. Neither is the state called
upon to disclose the whole of its
case until it is ready for the trial,
especially since so many witnesses
havo been spirited away. Lincoln

One way to lessen the reckless
use of firearms would be to compel
every person who carries a pistol iu
a city, town or village, to pay a li
cence of about $25 per year, and be

per year not to use fi rearm B except in
clear cases of self-defence. Dealers
