Mr. H. Berthold , the junk dealer

no reference whatsoever to him.

which met the eyes of the members of

, ccordinjly ; held at ChrksHall _ and it
was determined to send out a detail

members of Geo. Ouster post No. 7 to
proceed to the cemeteries and decorate
the graves of their comrades :

with Richard McDonald and Frank

A. R. Arraugemonts were made to

who started at half past
one o'clock from Clark's
Hall. It was further decided that
the G. A. R. proceed in a body to the
First M. E. church on Sunday morn4
ing to listen to a commemorative dis
course by the Rev. J. Maxwell , the
post assembling at its room at 9:30 ,
and marching together at 10 o'clock ,
sharp. In regard to the oration , which
the Hon. J. L. Webster wns to have
delivered , a formal request was made
that he furnish it for publication in
the daily papers of the city.
Below wo append the oration in
full. It is to be regretted that the
opportunity for its delivery was not
afforded Mr. Webster , as it is well
worthy his powers as an orator.
When John was an exile in the
rocky island of Patmos , he saw a door
opened in heaven and heard a voice
"as it wore of a trumpet talking with"
him which said "come up higher and
I will show the things which must be
hereafter. " Ho saw in the right hand
of him who rat on the throne a book'
and when the laaib opened one of the
seals thereof , he heard a voice "as it
were the noise of thunder * *
say
ing come and see. " He looked ami
beheld a "white horse and ho that sat
on him had a bow , and a crown was
given unto him ; and he wont forth
conquering and to conquer. "
How like a vision of the times we
celebrate. The poem has not been
written , the song has not been ung ,
the oration has not been pronounced'
that to fitly , and with so much of sim
plicity , truth and eloquence , describas
the character of the individual soldiers
of our army who went forth conquer
ing and to conquer the rebel hosts.
They did not wear a crown of power
but they won a crown of honor on ev
ery battle field andthoy wear it now as
they toil in the .workshop , as they la
bor on the farm or walk in the buiy
avenues of trade. Those who now
sleep in yonder cemetery are riding
white horses about him who sat ou
hat throne and
are wearing a crown
if glory.

Such scenes enlarge and liberalize
the understanding and comprehension
of men. Great occasions are the
greatest teachers. Napoleon felt this ,

Behind all this war there was an
idea Hugo has written "Waterloo is
not a battle ; it is the change of front
of the Universe. " History will record
that our conflict was not a rebellion ;
it was the punishment of an original
sin , the bursting into bloom of the
richest flower of thought , universal
lioerty.
Men who have experienced such
scenes and been impressed with such
thoughts deserve the nation's honor.
Their strong arm should ba felt in the
councils of the government and their
voice should bo heard in the contests
of statesmanship.
Butacr has made immortal to the
literary world the memory of that un
known guardsman who stood on duty
at the gate of Pompeii while the city
was swept to distruction. Where he
stood at his post of duty ho could see
the crater of Vesuvius belching forth
her fl.mes of fire and the floods of
molten lava rushing down the moun
tain side and pouring toward the city.
As ho would look upward ho could see
the sky clouded by the mass of
ashes that the wind carried across
the heavens nnd cast all about him.
He saw the people frenzei and feel
ing through the gto beside him for
satety yet he moved not. Ho saw
the cHy in flatrci and being buried
in ashes and lava that came from that
terrible volcano , yet he stirred not
from duty. No persuasive voice
could induce him to flee. He was com
manded to guard the gate and he re
mained at that post of duty until he
waa buried alive in tbo oUiueuta that
came from inside the bowels of the
earth and thus passed away with the
city that he guarded.
When archaeologists du uptheruins
of that city they found the petrified
remains of this faithful soldis stand
ing erect at the great gate , clothed in
hii armrr. What an osamp'c of obe
dience and fidelity wcs there. The
civi'ized tongues in many languages
applaud the deed ; yet such a hero
bea s no comparison to the grand army
of volunteers wh forsook all of life , to
accept all of death , to save their coun
try.The
The conduct of that guardsman at
Pompeii was but the obedience of a
subject to the imperial dictates of
Roman power , whila the conduct of
the fediral soldier was not that cf a
subject , but of a sovereign : not of
obcdionca to power , but of fidelity to
country ; not an acceptance of a com
mand , but an embracing of all there
is in political thought patriotism.

Our stalwart army foresaw all thii- .
It shotted its cannon to the mouth
and scattered iti canister to the
gulf. By its patriotism it rallied lib
erty oil through the regions of the
rebel states and went to replant the
stars and stripes beside the lillios and
violets of the south. Some time ago
a correspondent gave a description of
Niagara Falls as scon under electric
light. As ho looked over the edge of
the chasm a single electric light was
playing on the edge of the fall , con
verting it into a mass of moving snow ,
whose dazzling whiteness rolled on
with awful and majestic grandeur.
The mist that arose irom the whirl
pools below looked weird and glustly ,
and assumed most fantastic shape ? .
As he stood enraptured , a lessening of
the brilliancy of the li ht
changed the aspect of the scene.
The water now seemed liquid glass
and moved as mechanically and looked
as unreal as any painted cataract on
the mimic stage. Suddenly the ma
nipulator of the lighten the cliff
slides a sliest o'f rose colored glws be
fore his lamp. The scene became en
sanguined , and now it is a cataract of
blood , that roars and hisses and seoths
es though it were the gore of mur
dered nations , crying to-day demand
ing the vengeance of heaven. The
light is arranged to take in the brink
and upper part of the falls and then
one shaded blue converts the foaminto
boiling and uncanny shapes. The
next instant a flood of white is
projected between the rod and the
blue and the great waterfall becomes
the grandest representation of that
banner of bravery , the American flag ,
ever seen by mortal eye. As the gazer
looks upon that ecstatic scone , his
heart is filled with rapturous joy , and
he almost imagines himself m some
fairy land , at the mercy of some genii
of-delusion who
captivate and enrap
ture at will.
Thus America's grandest piece of
natural scenery , colored by the art of
man , becomes the grandest represen
tation of American liberty that mind
can fancy. The vast assamblaga filled
with patriotic fervor &t the beauty
and sublimity of the scene , rcut the
air with their applause ; yet it wa * a
nothing , compared to that higher pa
triotic fervor which thrilled the hearts
of these noble dead and of the mem
ber * of the Grand Army of the Repub
lie living es they looked upon that
bincer on the day of battle and
marched underneath itssweoping folds J.
from .victory to victory.
All honor to the Grand Army cf the
Republic who keep alive the memory
those unspeakable feelings. It
seems as now their departed comrades
waying our flag from the battle ;
mentaof heaven. Go ! Scatter theio
flowers over their graves , that as they
look down they may smile upon us ,
and make the temple of onr country's
God ring with huzzahs of onr country's
glory.

Draws her green mantle over her breast ;
And cradled beneath it forever asleep ,
Lie the dead of our nation forever at rest.
Asleep and at peace , rank by rank , file by

No matter what color they wore.
They listen not now for the tap of the drum ,
They shall wake at reveille no more.

THE CHICAGO BISHOPBIO ,
Probability of Bishop O'Con
nor's Elevation to the
New Arch-Diocese.
An Intervie-w "With Father
English on the Subject.
Noticing an article In the Chicago
Times of the 2Gth Inst. , in reference
to the delay in appointing a successor
to the late Bishop Foley , which inti
mated that Bithop O'Connor was gen
erally considered the coming man for
the p'ase , a reporter of THE BEE this
morning paid a visit to the bishop's
rcsidenco and rent up his card to
Father English with a request for an
interview.
"Have you read this extract from
the Chicago Times of a few days since , "
asked the reporter , handing Father
English the following clipping :
It is generally understood that the
new archbishop will be selected from
among the prelates whose sees will be
suffragan to the Chicago metropolitan.
If the law of seniority be followed ,
choice will probably be Rt. Rev.
James O'Connor , D. D. , now bishop
of Omaha. Dr. O'Connor is preemi
nently fit , by personal character , learn
ing , and executive ability , for the
large dignity which may await him ,
and his appointment would be univer
sally welcomed by the clergy and pee
ple."I
"I hive watched , of course , with
some interest , " said Father English ,
"the various rumors in circulation
concerning the Chicago bishopric , but
really none have a solid foundation.
That is , Rome has not yet announced
her decision , and until that decision is
announced every report must bo ru
mor , and nothing else. "
"How has the matter
long been an-
adviecinont ] " a ked the reporter.
"The province , consisting of the
wcitern bishops , met in St. Louis a
year ego the Wednesday after Easter.
Their duty was to select three nomi
nees and forward them them to the
HolyFa'lur for presentation to the
consistory at Rome. The three nom
inees were Bishop Fehan , of Mem *
phis ; Bishop Spauding ! , of Peoria ,
and Bishop O'Connor , of Omaha , in
the order named. The selection ia
generally made at Rome from the
name heading the list , which in this
case , was Bishop Fehan , of Memphis.
F oreome time the list , after being for
warded to Rome , was kept secret , but
the nominee finally leaked out , and the
priests at Chicago were very indignant
that the selection had been made out
of their diccese. Strong opposition
manifested itself to Bishop * Fehan
only on account of his not being in
the diocese and being the selected
candidate. Rome , is very slow in all
such matter. " , and she has probably
been weighing the names very care
fully. The Chicago clergy have lately
manifested a strong desire for Bishop
O'Connor's ' selection , a desire which
is daily growing stronger. Of course ,
public sentiment is tiken iitto Con
sideration at Rome and tha bishop's
friends have good hopes for h'"s ad
vancement"
"How is the appointment made and
hoiV made known ] "
"The porB takes the matter before
the consistory , which is composed ol
the cirdinals- and the decision , is
there mad" : The appointment , which
is expected to bo madU known every
day , will immediately bo given to the
representative of The Freeman's Jour
nal in Rome , and thence transmitted
to J. W. McMastcrs , its editor in
Nelv York , who will give it to the As
sociated preis1 '
"Why is it that the interest ia ao
great over the Chicago bishopric ? "
"Well , more hinges on the Chicago
bishopric than is generally supposed.
In the first place , the bishopric ia nfa'ff
under the archbishopric of St. Louis.
Within a year Chicago will have an
archbishop of its own. At a time not
long distant a Western cardinal is an
ticipated with bis residence at Chica
go. Both of * tbcso exalted rjdsitioiis
are expected to turn on the appoint
ment of the next bishop. "
"In other wcfds if Bishtip O'Connor
of Omaha , becomes Bishop O'Conner
of Chicago , ho will , in all likelihood ,
ultimately become Cardinal O'Con
nor ? " insinuated ohe reporter.
"Well yott can draw your inferen
ces , the bishops learning and ihtereal
in emigration have made htm very ex ; ,
tensively known and respected , and
the Chicago priests are now heartily
in favor1 of his appointment. Should
this talco place another bishop Would
bo appointed for Nebraska during the
current year in all probability. "

TELEGRAPH COMPETITION.
Sunday 'morning the American
Union announced a cut of 25 per cent ,
in the eastern rates. To New York
and Phi'adelphia , bfgintiing with to
day , the rate per message of ten words
will be 75 cents instead of $1 , as origi
nally charged. To Cincinnati , Toledo ,
and Defiance , Ohio , 60 cents , and to
a1 ! points with < n 150 miles of Omaha
25 cents.
A reporter of THE BEE starting out
on a ( our of investigation yesterday
was informed that the telegraph war
had now begun and would result in a
bitter fight between the Western
Union and tl.e American Union com
panies. The probability is that no
cut will be made in rates by the West
ern Union itself , but the Atlantic and
Pacific , which is under the control of
that company , will enter the contort
and fight the battle with the Ameri
can Union , reducing its tariff as fast
aa changes are announced by its com
petitor. The Atlantic and Pacific has
a great advantage over the American
Union , owing to the fact that it can
ca'l ' upon the immense resources of
the Western Union in carrying on its
business , and can thus guarantee an
unerring delivery of messages under
any condition of atmoEphrro. In ad
dition its offices are much more num
erous thin the American Union at
present , though the Infant toleraph
cimpany is adding to their list daily.
From all indica'iuns ' the fijht will
bo both long and bitter , and thn people
ple will reap the benefit during its
continuance.
