THE GETTYSBURG REUNION.
It is by no means improbable that tho pro
joct for assembling the surviving officers of the
battle of Gettysburg had its origin in a desire
to secure a gigantic gratis advertisement for
the new watering place. But private inter
ests are often so inextricably mingled with
public affairs that it is impossible to draw a
strict line of demarcation, and the programme
arranged for next week, in view of its pecu
liar character and historic interest, is worthy
of general consideration.
It is announced that a largo number of the
ITnion officers have positively promised to be
present. The list includes Major-Generol
Meade, Commander-in-Chief; General New
ton, General Hancock, General Butterfield,
General Howard, and many of their leading
military associates. It is proposed, we be
lieve, that the old lines of battle shall bo
designated, and that doubtful or disputed
points shall be cleared up, as far as possible,
ly a consultation between the men who can
give invaluable testimony in regard to the
various details of the eventful three days
fight. Historical investigators and the Con
gressional Committee on the Conduct of the
War have already thrown much light on this
fearful struggle, but there are still many
events connected with it which are imper
fectly understood, and which can only be
fully explained by an addition to the existing
stores of information.
Additional interest is given to the proposed
reunion by tho fact that a number of Rebel
officers are also expected to be present, and
to supplement any defect in the recollection
of the Union officers by a statement of the
positions and movements of the various llebel
corps. It is even alleged now that Lee, the
llebel Commander-in-Chief, will make a
second appearance upon the scene of his ter
rible defeat. We notice that some of tho
Southern journals are urging him to be pre
sent, and the llichmoud (Va.) Enquirer takes
the ground that he can not only decide autho
ritatively the prevailing differences of opi
nion in regard to the movement of Rebel
troops, but by fixing their location, "contri
bute a measure of justice to them, of which
they may otherwise be shorn," and that the
"spectacle of the officers of the two armies"
meeting on their old battle-ground, for the
purpose already mentioned, ''would do more
to heal the bitterness between the two sec
tions than perhaps any other event that could
possibly occur."
Viewed from this standpoint, the proposed
reunion would be an event of immediate na
tional utility. It is gratifying to know that
the work of pacification has already pro
gressed far enough to make it probable that
the old foes of 18(!3 will assemble together to
fight their battles over, theoretically, on
friendly terms, in 18C!, and to hear no explo
Sions more formidable than the popping of
champagnte bottles on the scene of the terrific
cannonades which swept thousands of human
beings into eternity.
This great change is wrought in six years
after the battle four years after the termina
tion of the war. It looks as if Grant's wish
"Let us have peace" was realized. The im
possibility of a peaceful assemblage of the
survivors of Waterloo within a short time
after that battle is indicated by Napoleon's
legacy to the soldier who attempted to assas
sinate Wellington; and the bad feeling en
gendered by other wars has often been main
tamed tor centuries, nere tne oreacn is
healing up with unparalleled rapidity, and the
Union will soon be as fully restored as if the
banner of secession had never been raised
2 HE CHASE MOVEMENT IN MARY-
LAND.
Judge Bond and several other prominent
Maryland politicians have united in sub
scribing to a card, in which they repudiate
the charge, so frequently brought against
them of late, that they are laboring in the
interest of Chief Justice Chase, and seeking
to pave the way to his nomination for tho
Presidency in 1872, even at the risk of utterly
destroying the Republican party of the State.
They say that the charge is prompted by the
malice of persons who, while clamoring for
harmony, are engaged in sowing discord by
attempting to ostracize and drive out of the
party a large number of true and earnest
Republicans. They claim that they are tho.
roughly identified with the Republican party,
that they heartily support the administration,
and that they are not in any way or to any
extent mixed up with the Chase movement
It is to be hoped that all this is true, and that
the dissensions which have recently disturbed
the Republican party of Maryland will soon
cease to exist.
In no State in the Union can the Republi
cans less aff ord an indulgence in an internal
squabble than in Maryland. Through the
treachery of Swann and his followers the en
tire governmental machinery of the State, as
well as that of the city of Baltimore, has been
thrown into the hands of the Secession Demo-
rl nnlv bv presenting a united front
vv, " , , ,.
the State ever be redeemed, even after
the ballot has been placed in the hands of the
1nred people through the agency oi me nr
uth amendment. The Maryland Democrats
oi.nt on a par with those of Kentucky
They are just as bitter in their enmity to the
ITnion now as they were in April, 181, when
ii.. i...,oi troops which were hastening to the
Ilia i"jt ' . .
defense of the national capital were ruthlessly
and cowardly assauueu m iu
Btroets of
Maryland cuu uoi mjuuuo,
sim-
pily been situated south of the Potomac, a
systematic attempt would assuredly have
been made, and then the spirit of troason,
which is still rampant within her borders,
would have been crushed out by the loyal
army, and the present status of the State
would have been quite the reverse of what
it is.
The primary cause of the trouble in Mary
land is to bo traced to the machinations of
Chief Justice Chase, who yearns and longs
and pants for a Presidential nomination as
impatiently as a child does for the contents
of a confectioner's window. This Presiden
tial bauble is the very bane of his existence,
the eagerness and recklessness with which he
pursues 'it the disgrace of his judicial
career. Having labored and schemed for
years to secure a nomination, and having en
countered defeat on all sides and at the hands
of each party, he is not content with a life
tenure in the most dignified and most respon
sible judicial position in the gift of the coun
try, but still labors and schemes for an
opportunity to control and dispense the
patronage of the executive. As there is no
hope in either the Republican or Democratic
party, his intrigues are at present all directed
towards the formation of a new political or
ganization, and the only possibility of accom
plishing this object is by sowing discord in
the ranks of the Republican party. If the
Maryland Republicans are wise they will avoid
all complicity with the Chase movement,
under whatever guise it may approach them.
THAT DEL A WARE MARRIAGE LA W.
Our comments on several occasions about tho
queer Delaware law which requires a man be
fore getting married to one of the fair daugh
ters of that State to give bonds for good be
havior, has elicited a statement of the facts
of the case from a Delawarean point of view,
and an appeal for justice from a Delaware
lady. Our correspondent states in the most
polite and complimentary terms that she is a
constant reader of The Telegraph, aud that
although a "genuine Delaware Democrat and
a firm believer in the usefulness of convict
jackets and tho whipping-post," she neverthe
less has a high appreciation of our general
good intentions and our desire to do justice in
all enses. Of course an appeal like this from
a lady, especially from a Democratic lady,
and more especially from a Delaware Demo
cratic lady, will receive at our hands tho most
respectful consideration, aud we cannot re
frain from expressing our gratification at find
ing thut at least one Democratic lady of Dela
ware reads The Telegraph with appreciative
interest. This shows that the labor we have
undertaken of regenerating the little State just
south of us has not been without its results,
and as our correspondent acknowledges that
she reads our paper with interest, we have
hopes that she and many more will ere long
believe in the doctrines that we preach, so
that the pecnliar institution known as Dela
ware Democracy will no more be known on
the face of the earth.
But the subject to which our correspondent
invites our consideration is the lav referred
to above, and which she contends we have
misinterpreted. She quotes on this point
the Revised Code of Delaware, sec. Hi, chap.
. which reads thus:
'The clerk or justice dispensing a marrlajre
lifeline snail taKe irom tne iiarty applying for it a
Itond to the State with itood security in the penal
sum of two hundred dollars, with condition that if
mid may lawfully unite themselves in mar
riage, aud if there be no legal objection to celebra-
tinir tlie rites of marrlaire between them, then the
said obligation shall be void, otherwise in force."
In referring to this law we gave the inter
pretation usually put upon it by impatient
bridegrooms, who are at a loss to know what
the meaning of this singular marriage custom
Our correspondent insists that it is only
designed to put an impediment in the way
of illenal marriages. This may be so, but it
appears to us to be one of those obsolete pro
visions that have descended to us from the
dark ages, and that are entirely out of date
in the nineteenth century. That this is so
is shown from the fact that the law is practi
cally a dead letter, and that in the majority of
cases the execution of tho bond is considered
a mere formality. It may be, and sometimes
it is revived, nowever, as a means of an
noyance, and to throw an impediment in tho
way of certain parties contracting marriage.
If the Delaware people are satisfied with it,
we have no particular right to complain, but
it serves as one illustration out of many of
the behind-the-age way of doing business in
that State.
AN APOLOGY FOR A TRAITOR.
Referring to our article of yesterday about
John Mitchel, the Age this morning says:
"There is no man who has no right to justice,
and to seek it, too, in the courts established to
administer it." We do not dispute this pro
position, and that it is a proof not only of the
magnanimity of the Government, but of its
respect for the abstract lights of such a scamp
as Mitchel that he is permitted to enter the
courts with a suit such as he has brought
against General Dix. This does not alter the
fact that it is a brazenly impudent thing for
Mitchel to do, or that, if he had received his
dues at the hands of justice, his worthless
carcass would have been suspended from the
gallows long ago That the Age should enter
a defense for Mitchel is perfectly natural. It
was established to apologize for the Re
bellion, and it has faithfully fulfilled its
mission. It, of course, considers this profes
sional traitor a deeply injured individual, and
General Dix a scoundrel of the deepest dye,
who will only get off too cheaply if he merely
has to pay 'J5,00 damages to tho victim of
his tyranny.
Pendleton improves the occasion offered
by the chance of writing a letter of accept
ance, to ventilate his exploded greenback
theory and to denounce Secretary Boutwell
for buying the Government bonds instead of
paying them off in currency at their face value.
The Democracy of Ohio, now that they are
foiled in the scheme to secure Rosecrans as a
lender, have fallen back upon their old en
trenchments, and they are fighting out the
campaign on the favorite line of Vullaudig-
STR UCK B Y LIGHTNING. I
Jcdoe Dent, in the course of his ferocious
assault upon Secretary Bout well, declares
that the New York Sun is the Secretary's
organ, whereupon the Sun turns the full glare
of its scorching beams upon Dent, and comes
within a hair's breadth of itterly obliterating
him. The Sim's article, to which we give
place elsewhere, concludes with this para
graph: "It has been Bnjrfrrstcd that it would be lucky for
General Grant If his brothers-in-law could all be
struck by lightning. If such an event Is to happen
at nil, It would be an advantage to the General if the
lightning would be very prompt and very effectual
in the cane of Judge Dent."
There mny be a little malice in this, but
the force of the point made is very plain, and
there can bo no doubt that the President
would have good causo to rejoice at a whole
sale bereavement of tho sort suggested. Tho
very worst incumbrance wherewith a man
holding a high official position can be afllicted
is a brother-in-law, and ranking next after
brothers-in-law come brothers-in-blood, sons,
nephews, uncles, and cousins, near and re
mote. The fewer personal tics a man has
tho better off is he when he has entered upon
political life. If President Grant had not
been encumbered with a father, the gross
abuse which has been heaped upon him by
the Copperhead papers because he has not
turned the old gentleman out of tho Coving
ton post office would have been divertod
into another and a more reasonable channel.
If all his near relatives, and all tho
near relatives of his wife, had been
consigned to the grave in thoir infancy, the
ridiculous twaddle in which the Copperhead
sheets indulge from day to day on the subject
of his nepotism would have been averted. As
long as tho President has been blessed or
cursed with half a dozen kinsmen, not all of
whom are capable of cutting such sorry
figures as "Judge" Dent, it is entirely proper
for him to appoint them to such official posi
tions as they are fitted for holding, and the
only just ground for assailing his motives in
so doing would be a fair show of proof that
they are all either imbecile or corrupt. Yet
it must be acknowledged that it would be a
great relief to him, and a sore tribulation to
his enemies, if the great thunder-shower
which is to relieve Philadelphia from its pre
sent thirsty dilomma should at tho same timo
play the mischief with the Grant and the Dent
families, leaving the President and his wife
solitary and alone in the world, the last of
their race.
HARVARD VS. OXFORD.
The race between the Harvard and Oxford
boat clubs will come off in a few days, and if
the Americans do not win it will not bo for
want of advice and criticism from tho English
papers of every degree. Their size, weight,
build, and general appearance have been
minutely described for tho benefit of an ad
miring public, and their style of rowing has
been analyzed and compared with the English
in a manner advantageous to the latter. The
Harvard crew appear to have made a more
favorable impression since they b,ave gone
into regular training, and tne consequence is
that the odds have increased in their favor,
Thus far they have hud nothing to complain
of in the way of entertainment. Every
facility for training has been afforded
them, and they have been treated with the
most open-hearted hospitality, and thus fa
there are no indications of jealousy or desire
to have anything but a fair trial of skill and
strength. English fair play, however, has
become proverbial for meaning exactly oppo
site what it professes; and if the Harvard
crew should win in this contest, it will be in
every way a remarkable occurrence. In the
first place, they labor under the disadvantage
of rowing on a narrow, tortuous course, dif
ferent from what they are accustomed to, but
with which their opponents are perfectly
familiar; they are obliged to carry tho dead
weight of a coxswain; the boat they carried
across the Atlantic proved not adapted to the
narrow river where the race is to come off,
and it has been necessary to have a new one
built; and last, but not least, the betting odds
and national pride are both against them
to Biich a degree that, were all other things
equal, they would scarcely be permitted to
win. Nothing but a fair, square victory on
either side will satisfy the public in this con
test, and if the Harvard crew is defeated by
any trick, or suspicion of a trick, it will be a
warning that ought to last American sports
men for all coming time. The greatest in
terest in the race exists both in this country
and in Europe, and the cable man, true to his
instincts, gives us detailed accounts every
day of the progress of the crews, and tho state
of the betting-books, as if the future pros
perity of the two countries depended upon
the race. The news in this instance is of
course interesting, but if the press agent
exhibited the same amount of enterprise in
collecting information about events of real
value, he would fulfil the functions of his
office much more satisfactorily to the readers
of American newspapers.
The Fire Pathol rendered very offective
service at the fire last night, in the large store
on Chesnut street, between Second and inmi.
By a prompt and skilful use of oil-cloth cover
ings, they saved many valuable goods irom
damage or destruction by water, which, at
many fires, is only less injurious in its effects
that" the devouring flames. The Fire Tatrol
promises to effect a useful reform in the prac
tical management of fires, and to greany
diminish their destructivencss, as well as to
impose a needed check upon the operations
of fire-thieves.

HERRING'S SAFES
AGAIN TESTED !
YON K EES, N. Y., August 13, 1869.
Messrs. Herrino, Fakrbl & sukrman, Mew
York Gentlemen: At the great Are here on Sun
day night last (sth uist.), which covered an area of
two blocks, we had two of your Safes in our building,
which passed safely through the ordeal. When first
discovered they were surrounded by burning lumber,
and bear evidence of having had a severe test, as our
place of business occupied seven lots, all covered
with buildings and lumber, all of which were en
tirely consumed, and to this heat the Safes were
exposed. It was with great satisfaction that we
found, upon cutting Into our Safes, as they were so
warped and swollen they could be opened In no
other way, that our books and papers and money
were all saved ; Indeed, the bills came out of the Safe
