Never since the surrender of Appomattox lias an incident occurred that lias caused so much feeling amen old soldiers as the re port that the president had authorized the re turn of those emblem ? . Not only in thu states where the soldier clement is thn strongest , but In every section of thecouutry , the feeling engendered by this unwi.su and unpatriotic order Is ol the most intense character. Old soldiers hero have been fairly Hooded with telegrams to-day protesting against the surrender of the flags , llete is a sample telegram received fiom a western town : " "Can It bo that there are not enough men In Washington who fought lor the union to prevent the removal of thosn Hags from Washington'1 If not , wo have enough here to burn every one of them before a ( sin gle scrap ot the bunting is c.irried uwav. " One man who lives In Georgetown had two brothers shoe down while defending the colors of their regiment. The colors were captured by the rebels and wcro subsequently retaken by thu company. They also took the Hags of thu rebel icglmcnt. These lings aru among the number which it WAS Intended to return to the poor fellows with whom drover Cleveland sympathizes so much. The news of thu Intention of tlio authorities worked upon the feelings ol thu man who had given up two brothers to thu defense of the stars and stripes so that ho was com pletely prostrated , llu had to bu carried homo in a cab and Is reported to bo in a critical condition to-night. No one can Imagine what Induced thu secretary of war , to propose such an asslnlnc move to the president. General Drum admits that he has not had a single request from a south ern company or southern state for the return ot the lings , llu must have been aware , too , that tlio proposition was in direct violation of the law , as tlio act of 1814 sets forth very clearly that cauturcd Hags shall bu displayed at the seat of government , utul , that thuy shall bo in thu custody ot thu au thorities , llu must have been awaru that they could only bu w.'thuiawu ' by act of con- cress. To-day General Drum was asked by your correspondent for permission to look at the books. In which tlio histories of. the captured lints are kept , llu declined to allow any one to see them , pleading as an excuse that the clerks were busy preparing the lists of those which woru to have been returned , llu bald that the flags would certainly bo returned In spltoot lliu piolesls which had been raised against such action , and Intimated that ho had no sympathy with the feeling of the men who piotest against their return. Colonel Dan Lament , private secretary to the president , attempted to shift the response blllty tor the order from the shoulders of UK president to thosu of thu adjutant ircneral ol the army. Daniel bald 'that thu president never slcned tlio order , and ho doubled it Ills chief was aware of the Import of thu matter lie was probabl ) correct In this , as no ordei has been signed , but Inasmuch as the prest dent gave voronl assent to thu proposition tc vrrlte to the governors of the southern states he alone should bear thu odium which will attacli to thu action. Thu aftortnou.ht wll not survu to wipe out thu stigma.

They , with such confederati Hugs as had been captuiod from thu enein ; by our troops , had tor a lout time romalnec uncait'd for and neglected , packed away It the collar of thu war department , and hai been removed to the attic as a better pluci tor sale keoplne.

"May God palsy Hie hand that wrote Hie Older ! " "May God palsy the brain that conceived , and may God palsy thu tongue that dictated It. " Grand Army of the Republic veterans heard thc.se words with Dated breath , and glanced at each other with awe as thu terrible sentences rang out from the cotnmandcr-ln-chtof of the Grand Army of the Republic last night In Association hall In Harlem , The occasion was the reception tendered to thu coinman- ler-ln-chicf by Alex. Hamilton. Post Ib2 of the Grand Army of the Republic. Visitors were present from every Grand Army post In this city and vicinity. Before tlio meeting opened It became known that General Uoss , of Austin , Tex. , had received a letter froth the adjutant gen eral of the United States army staling that the president had approved the recommenda tion , and the writer had been Instructed by the secretary of war to rnstoro all conledciale flags In caru of thu department to the south ern states from whoso regiments flags had been captured during the war ot' the rebel lion. General Falrchlld entered the hall with stern features. Without baldly wailing for the usual courtesies , the one-armed leader burst forth with the expressions recorded above. The general told of Iho news received by telegraph that the president had approved of the return of the "rebel" Hags and how those Hags had been won by the veterans of the Giaiid Army of the Re- publtc In open conflict with the enemies of the nation. The veterans had placed their tiophlcs in tlio care ot the war department. They were Intended , ho said , to be kept In the archives of the nation as mementoes of the hard won lields of battle. Ho continued : "How can Iho present loyal governors of the houthein states accept the emblems of treason after their professions ot loyalty to the Union ? Must they not return them to tlm secretary and say they have nothing to do with thu Hags as rebel organizations aru extinct and their governors are dead ? " Gen eral Falrchlld said he had frequently listened to sentiments which caused him to bite his tongue In an etfoit to maintain self-control. In the nine.months past he had visited Giaud Army of the Republic posts In every state In the north , cast and west. Ho had never In anv past meeting heard anything but kindly feelings expressed lowards thu men who had looked Into thu gun barrels of thu northern Iroops during Iho war. As com mander in chief ho had tried lo encourage this kindly It-cling. Now this was changed. The lime had comu to speak In thu name of thu organization. If ho could not protest ntralnst It as commander in chief of thu Grand Aimy of the Republic , he would re sign and protest as a private citl/en. lint ho was satisfied that oTiO.OOO Giand Army of the Republic veterans would rise as one man in solemn protest auainst any such disposition of Ihe trophies won at such fearful sacrllicu of blood. Raising his only hand , the general said : " 1 appeal to the sentiment of the na tion to forbid this sacrilege. " There was a moment's silence when a wild hurrah wont no and was repeated. Then came loud calls for Corporal Tanner. He apologized for coming without his Grand Army of the Republic badge. After the action of the president In thu case of the rebel Hags , the next thine would be an order demanding that the .veterans of the war should return their Grand Army of thu Re public badzes as they were made of metal cast from guns captured In the war. llo was not surprised that such an order should em- inalu from a man who , during the war was In the lull vigor of manhood , sturdy and strong , yet who was represented in the held by a substitute drawn from the Erlu peniten tiary. Every member should rlr.o in his might as a veteran and protest azalnst this desecration. Tlio proposed trip of Cleveland to SI. Louis had been discussed by Iho vet erans. Ho had advised western veterans to treat Iho president with the respect due him , but now had come an order from which noth ing could come bul condemnation and result In damnation. These remarks were received with shouts and cheers. Then Kdmiind Kendrlcks , late Inspector general of the department of New York , under General Sickles , leaped to thu platform and offered Iho following resolu tions : Whore.as , The president of the United States , having approved the recommendation that all battle Hags In custody of the war de partment belonging to thu southern stales in rebellion during Iho late civil war , bu re turned to the respective states which bore thorn , for such tin.il disposition as they may determine , bo It Resolved , That this post views with sur prise the action of the president and records its protest thereto. Itcsolved , That the sacrifice of blood which captured the emblems represents a sacrifice to liberty , national union , and lo God. liesolved , Thai no sentiment of generosity and no expression of magnanimity is In volved In thu surrender of these covenants of national honor. Resolved , That It only now remains to di rect that the now battle Hags of thu union bu distributed among the representatives of the so-called confederacy , and as lilting acknow ledgment of righteousness of the "lost cau e. " Resolved , That this post expresses Its dls- approbation of this act of the first president of the United Stales who has held thu office disassociated from the memories of war for the union. The resolutions wore carried with a shout Arrangements will be made to have a ma s meeting of veterans next week to proles ! against Hie action of Ihe president. A Washington special to the Evening Post says that Adjutant General Dunn. In answer to a query as to thu return of the flairs. standards and colors which were caplurei from the confederates during the war , said : "Wo are going to return them all lo the slates , uortli and south. The president has recommended that It bo done , and I am now having full lists made of all these trophies In the possession of the department. In a short time we shall have the whole collection assorted and ssparatod , that we shall bo ready to forward to every stale In Ihe union whatever Hags belonging to the slate volun teers foil Into the hands of the fed era army and Into the possession of the war de partment.

[ Special Tele gram to the BKK.I There has been nothing for years that has stirred the feelings of Iowa people like Cleveland's order returning the rebel Hags. It Is the one topic ot conversa tion and men speak of It with the same spirit they did of Hie tiring 'on Forl Sumter. All classes unite In outspoken and unsparing condemnation of thu outrage. Tlio old soldiers especially aio lighting mad , and if curses could do It , Cleveland would be burled a thousand leagues under ground. From the governor down lo the humblest cillzen Hicro is one unrestrained expression of Indigna tion. Ever } body Is pleased thai Governor Larrabeo responded so vigorously tand In thu name of tlio state of Iowa protested against this surrender of the flags which Iowa soldiers gave blood and treasure to captuic. The governor said to-day that he should taku prompt measurus to prevent the return of the Hags captured by Iowa troops , and ho will either send a represoulative of the state to Washington lo institute formal proceed ings lo prevent it or ho will net through some representative already there. There Is no question about Iho public feeling In this state , and Iho citizens are proud , without respect to parly , that Iowa stands side by bide with Ohio In being the first states In the union to protest against this base and shameful act of dishonor. The old soldiers say that they have nothing against their former opponents , who touglit gallantly and accepted thu results of the war , but thuy denounce with infinite scorn and contempt the copperhead picsident who now Interferes to maku political capital by a gratuitous tender to southern pride. There are ninu rebel Hags in thu state arsenal hero , and there has been much talk nil day about Hie proba bility of their being sent tor by the war de partment to bo returned south with the order. It Is safu to say that they will never bo taken from here , as the Iowa blood Is bulllmr , ami the Hags will bo destroyed before they are ever given up.

A rebel Hag and rebel cavalry guidon without description or his tory. lion. John A. Kasson , late minister lo Germany , and lor many years congressman from this district , when scon by a reporter , was found boiling over with Indignation at Cleveland's order. Ho said ; " 1 can scarcely trust myself to speak , 1 have so little pa tience with tlio whole proceeding. It is the grossest , the most Iniliululy gross outrage 1 have ever known In the history of this coun try. It Is not thu fact that the rebel Hags are returned lo Iho ox-rebels who carried them , but that Mr. Cleveland , without ask ing permission troiu the men who captured them , or from congress , or from any one authorized to speak for them , should assume to dispose ot government properly for Iho paltry purpose ot furthering his own politi cal ambitions. 1 class the flags In the same category of government properly as guns , wagons , artillery trains and other munitions of war captured fiom the enemy. They are the properly of Iho government and cannot bo disposed of ex cept bv permission ot congress. Mr. Cleveland looks at the flags as If Ihoy had no value except for thu muslin and poles that compose them. Hu overlooks entirely their moial valuu to thu moral sentiment of Hie nation and lo the men whoso Individual gallantry In so many Instances captuicd them. Ho does not attacli a bit of sentiment to them so lar as the south Is concerned , and pretends thai they will assist In the work ot reconciliation between the sections. On the contrary , they will have the opposite elfect. For some time after the war they were kept In thu department at Washington , exposed to public view , but as Iho states came back to tuo union , and fraternal relations were being enromaged , it was suggested that It wouln bo unpleasant for citizens of ) ho south visiting the public buildings to see before them tlio reminders of their defeat , and so congress authorized thu removal of thu Hags to a separate room out of sight and yet In tlm cuslody of the covernmenl. lint 'now , if they are relumed lo Hie south , they will nt once bo put on exhibition In their state houses and public buildings , and be flaunted In the face of all to perpetuate the old rebel mem ories and the animosities of ibe war. Re turning these Has will do more to keep open the breach between the sections than their peaceful rest at Washington would In a thou sand years. Nobody has asked for thorn , nobody exaecled to have them returned , and If there are any governors of southern states who have any manliness or chivalry , they would refuse to receive them from tlio president , but would send them back with the message : 'These flags were won by fallant men from gallant men on hard- fought fluids , and they shall be kept by Hie callant men who captured them until they themselves shall choose to give them up. ' If there was a district attorney at Washing ton with surllclent spirit and pride , he would tlln an Injunction enjoining the secretary ot war from disposing of government property without permission from congress. 1 have carefully examined the statistics and the re ports , and 1 find no authority whatever for Mr. Cleveland's action , and there never , since I have been connected with public af fairs , has been a precedent for this outrage.

The bad effect of his failure had been In a large mcasuic discounted and the great majority of the commission merchants who had trades with Kcrshaw it Co. had closed them out Only one additional failure occurred to-day , that of J. J. Uryant , who was carrying 'J,000- 000 bushels of whc.it for Kershaw. In simple truth thu worst Is over. It may take a few weeks or oven months to clear away the wreckage , but by this lime everybody in Irado knows what tholr individual losses aru and the panic may bo said to be now a thing of the past. Of Iho ihrco recognized clique houses only Irwln , Green & Co pulled through. The creditors and victims nro con testing for their portion of what remains In the hands of Rosenfcld it Co. and Kcrshaw < te Co , and the cllqitu agents and their principals have also fallen to quarreling among themselves. Wllshire and Rekert , of Cincinnati , brought SGOO.OOO to Chicago yesterday to sustain Iho market and protect their crippled and Imper illed InteiesU. It was brought on for a spe cific purpose , and , judging from the returns now in sight , It did not produce the results tlnl were expected. How Hits money was used , where It went , why it didn't get whcio it was started tor , and ail about It are tacts that may comu out In the litigation that Is springing out of tills ugly business. The gen tlemen who Invested § 4,000,000 to 83.000,000 In cold cash In a futile attempt to corner the Chicago wheat market are not likely lo gut back a very large percentage ot It , but they may have the satisfaction of finding out just how It was they didn't succeed , and Ihoy may also luvu something to say about thu final disposition of tlio skelelon over which such a llvelv light has boon Inaugurated. Thu calm that succeeds a storm was wit nessed on 'change to-day. There w ru no signs ol outward excitement lo cnlertaln the sweltering crowds In the gallery , and neither weiu there wild fluctuations In prices to dis turb or excitu the commeieial world in Hie wheat pit. Only a moderate amount ot busi ness was done and steadiness was the ruling featuio. Thu market has been bumping on hard pan and It was only natural that there should bo a reaction. An Immense amount of wheat has been bought on thn break by foreigners and shippers at prices that leave a handsome margin of prolit for actual shipment , and at thu quotations ruling to-day ihero Is a differ ence ot about 20c between Chicago and New York.- . Tlie facts In recard to the deposit of money for Kershaw & Co. yesterday at the Amer ican Exchange bank , on which ho founded Ills promise to pay in full , were these : Wil- shire did deposit 000,000 to the credit of Ker shaw ite Co. yesterday morning. When C. J. Kershaw left thcio at S o'clock after an hour's consultation with Wllshire , D. W. Irwln , lloyt , Cashier Dewar , C. 1) ) . Eggleston and several of Iho directors , there was nearly SbOO.OOO on deposit , subject , as ho supposed , to his cheek. He hurried down to tlio oflice ot Armour > V Co. and there told his friend , P. D. Armour , of his position , and his ability to stand everything down to 70c. It was not until 10:45 : o'clock , when ho went Into Ar mour's oflicu again , that ho was told that his checks , were being thrown out by Hie American Exchange National. Ho went out of Armour's like a shot to ascertain the trouble. The trouble was that Immediately after Korshaw left the American Exchangn bank , ana when Wll- sliiro produced the 000,000 , to go. as lie sup posed , to the credit of Kershaw , Irwjn , Green & Co. demanded half of it. President Irwin is senior partner In this house , and had this advantage Hiat ho could credit tlio money as he was disposed to. When Ker shaw s cneck for $ iOO.OOO trom the clearing house went down for certification , It was thrown out. Somu Dig checks had , however , gone through all right be lore. Amoni ; them were checks to Schwartz , Dufreo it Co. , P. 11. Wearo & Co. , and a few others , asgregat- Inir , perhaps , 8150,000 , so that Kershaw's promises were made in good faith. If it had not happened thai the presidenl of Iho bank was nlso an applicant for ruoro martins , Kershaw's chocks would have been certified. There A'cro two things which upset Ker shaw's calculations yesterday morning. The most important , of course , was the seizure of a part of that SCUO.OOO by Irwin , Green & Co. , but Korshaw also checked out Stb.OOO to pay the claims of Schwartz , Dufree & Co. , of Orr & Comes. P. U. Weare it Co. , William Dunn & Co. , and of ono or two other concerns. Even after Irwln , Green & Co. had taken $300,000 of the de posit , Ihero would have been enough to pro vide for ( ho certification ot the clearing house check , if this 6GS.OOO had not been checked against , and It the holders of Iho checks had not rushed at once to the bank and gel their checks certitied. Dewar , Kershaw's partner , claims tills morning that It was a great blun der not to pay thu clearing house check be- foru all others. That would have saved the day.Armour Armour said this morning : "Tho amount of loss to this market is not nearly so severe ns some of the unfortunate ones nro claim ing. There were more losses on'theadvancu , lor when this clique was advancing the mar ket wo who were straddled and between dlf- leront markets paid out our money , lint mostot the falluiusso far announced weiu ot men who were broke before tills panle and who were simply waiting tor a good excuse. They have been thus for twelve months , some of them. No body can lese money on Kert-haw , for he Is margined way down. Hu tells me this , and I know ho would not He to inc. Ho would have gone through yesterday it there had not been a muddle at Hie bank. He came In here and said that ho would pay down lo TO cents. The wheat Is worth that , and the man who sells July at New York and buys cash wheat hero has r cents a bushel secured. I oifmed 11 % cents for 500,000 bushels of wheat lo thu baiiK ycsterdnv when Iho mar ket on the board was nominally TO cents , and the bank would not sell it , thanks. All say tney will not sell. There would have been a great deal of cash wheat taken yesterday but you could not do business. The banks would not talk to jou. They were lee busy with margins. " Per Cincinnati Money. CINCINNATI , June 10.

How It Is In Milwaukee. MIUVAUKKK , Juno 10. The sltuallon on change this morning Is devoid of sensational features.

It , James , of Brooklyn , who was the leader ot the re * niblicau minority of the house coinage com- iilttec In thu Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth congresses , and who Is Interested In the colTco business , Is In the city preparing to cave for Europe. Ho salts on Saturday of next week. Mr. James coos In part for plcas- iroaud partly to look Into the silver question , n which hohas always taken a great Interest. Speaking of the subject to-day hu said that he thinks that Ills esllninto of T.000,000 to 10- : OJ,000 as the number of trade dollars likely to bo presented for redemption will provo to bo the correct one. At first he I cared that the number would reach M.OOO.OOO or . ' 50,000,000 , nnd for this reason hu did all In his power to prevent the passage of tliu redumption bill In [ ho Forty-eighth congress. In thu interim between thai time and tliu passage of the bill ho made n careful inuuiry Into the number likely to como from Japan , China and thu .straits settlements and ho soon convinced himself that there wervery few uncut tradu dollars in HHHO countries. Now hu does not think that Hie number to bu redeemed will ex- cend his outside estimate ot 10,000OJO. Speak ing ot the silver question , ho said thai the public has become apathetic since the Forty- elclith congress vetoed the action of the ad ministration In Us attempt to make silver odiou.s by authorizing thu issuu of 51 nnd S" silver ccrtilicatcs. llu thoughl that the time would certainly come , however , when the continued colnago ol sll\er would Inevitably cause great financial depression. Tills tlmo would arrive when thu volume of silver dollars lars and their equivalent certificates exceeds the normal demand for currency. Or a simi lar result may be looked for at any time If from any cause the flow of gold Is outward Instead ot towards the United States , as now. Mr. James added that Hie bl-melalists ot England are surely gaining strength every day. Speaking of too recent flurry In the coffee market , hu said that for some } ears thu prices nl Amsterdam , Paris nnd Rio Janeiro have been higher by several points than they have been In Iho American market The flurry was caused entirely by speculation , although Iho demand Is heavier lha.il it has been for some llmo. Hu thinks that In spite of the fact that ttio market has recovered to some extent , prices must drop , ns they have been maintained principally by European speculation. Military Matter * .

[ Special to th4 lin.I ! : In the wannest court room in tin United States u largo audience , about equallj divided between l.vllcs and men folks , swol < lered through r-dny listening to the story ol the minder or Magglu Shullcnliorgur as re lated by the witnesses against Hie step mother , who sat thiough It all without sign of excitement or a change of features. Tha court was latu In opening owing to the ab sence of one of the jurors , who lived tea miles out In the country and who was late In arriving. The judge lined him $10 and th case was taken up where the evidence ceased Iho night previous. It was a day In Itself U try human endurance , fur thu heat of tin room was ten Hie. Not a breath of the brceza that blow from thu south and west could cuter the court room and Iho sun all the flrsl Half of the day shed Its fiercest rays against Iho only side of the room possessed with wln dews , the latter of which only added to tlio effect of tlio sun's rays. In the hottest part ot this heated room the jury was con lined in the jury boxes and the crowd In at tendance added to the heat and discomfort of the occasion. The state continued Its case to the noon hour , examining a number ol witnesses , the most Important of whom was the sheriff of Otoo county , Mr. McCallum , whoso testimony added facts of the minder hoietoforo brought forth. The .sheriff saw In the cellar the evidences of Hie Klruggle be tween the victim and the mtuderer or mur derers. He Imd examined the surrounding In thu cellar minutely ; had seen the girl was at work when seized upon : had seen her footprints In the soil caith , footprints of H.e child and the larger footprints oT a grown person where the short nnd unequal struggle ior existence had taken place. In regard to Hie defendant , Air. Slwllciibcrger , hu had much thu same testimony as thu other wit nesses. Shu was as cool and heartless around the house a few hours alter the mur der as she was at the present timu wlillu on tlio stand. Shu was no uioic solicitous for the caiu of thu dead than she had bjcn for the caru of the child while living. Thn witness testilied lo the welts and bruises that ho found upon the back of the dead child , showing what the child suffered at the hands of her unnatural prents before one or both of them ended tier existence. Thus far Iho prosecution has failed to show that the Ocfcndaiit was In the cellar at the llmo Iho child was murdered , and Iho evidence Is entirely circumstantial and such ns can bo deducted from all the surroundings of the cnso. The prosecution lias shown that she was on the premises at Hie time the murder was committed ; that she was totally Indifferent to feeling or acls in the matter alter tnu murder was com mitted , and whatever additional evidence they have against Hie woman remains to bo developed in redirect. Dr. N. 11. Larsh was the last witness to bo examined directly after the noon hour for the piottocutlon. The climax In thu case > ras reached In the afternoon session when Airs. Shcllenborgur took the stand in her own behalf. The court room was crowded even more than in the morning liourt ) . In givinir her testimony Mrs. bhcllenberger spoKe slow and deliber ately and evldenlly weighed every sentence. She told much ot the family story and main tained her perfect composure.

" lie ordered her to send word that Iho girl had killed herself and threatened to kill her If she did not remain quiet. He re fused to lot her sec the child or toke any part In caring for the remains. Her testimony followed on In explaining her conduct at the tlmo nnd subsequent lo the act as largely Irom ( ear. Oilier witnesses were called in her behalf , but the defense quickly closed the testimony. The attorneys Mes.sis.
