Mr. President and Fellow Citiiensi
This is o, day of recollections. Once again
the circling seasons bring around the lima
and bear their Bweetcst gifts to deck thi
rcstlng:ploce3 oftrjo nation's honored dead.
From hundreds of thousands of these sacred
mounds, scattered over all this broad land,
ascends to-day tho sweet perfume of flowers
as n holy incense, tho offerings bf Jiatrioit.
ncarts upon tucse nnars oi noblest sacrincc.
And how beautiful and befitting in its con
ception is' such a ceremonial I Tho tribute
of Nature's most beauteous unfoldlngs is
borne by the purity and innocence of child
hood and laid with unstained and gentle
hands over the resting-places of our citizen
soldiers. Indeed, it is a reverent thought
that secures from unworthy tread tho earth
abovo these sacred ashes. These, floral
offerings but fitly typify tho purity of (IV
cause aud of tho sacrifice, and in their
withering recall the. cutting-off of these
noble lives in tho very b'loonvand beauty of
their manhood. As an outward siim and.
expression, let them also bo tho emblems of
thoso precious recollections which wo call',
to-day from tho fields of msniory the
bravo deeds, tho grand achievements, the
generous sacrifices, the lofty patriotism, the'
glory of our heroes recollections from
which we weave wreaths and chaplcts of
Ideal beauty and loveliness to adorn tho
names and lives of these immortal sons of,
the republic. Such cifts Wo have withered
and brought with us in thought, our best'
and choicest, endeared to us by all tho af
fection that gratitude ran inspire, all the
devotion that patriotism canawaken,all the
aunnration mat exalted manhood can erf-
cite, and all tho fond endearments that
cling to purest friendship.
inat sentiment winch has led mankind
In all ages to do homogo to tho worthy dead
is ouo of the finest ill the huruatt heart, and
it has its fitting counterpart in that nther
clement in our nature which reaches nnf
after immortality) which seeks by every'
euun ui iircices uinuition to escape tnat cer
tain oblivion In which nil earthly things
must disapjKar by projecting a immo and ft
memory out ihto the unfathomed depths .of
un cnuicss luiurc. in response to these de
mands of the human heart, wo find s'eaN'
tered throughout the ages tho mounds, and
tumuli of ruder times, and the stately mon
uments and.obeltsks, tho chiseled stone and
sculptured marble, the triumphal archesT
costly tombs, and grand InaUsolemiins of.
more advanced civilizations, upon which
have been brought into requisition all the
resources of wealth and power, of advancing
science,- perfected art, and creative genius.
But, in nil tho illustrious line of heroes,
nmoug all tho examples of valor and faith
fulness to duty which gild tho pages of his
lory and preserve to our poor humanity its
higher claims ond capacities, there are noni'
who in courage, In patriotism. In unswery-.
ui iiui-itkj', uuu in iitu uiunii grauueur oi
tho work accomplished, deserve more at tho
hands of their waterity than those who fell
in tho struggle for the Union.
Who wcro these men of unsurpassed
glory? They were our fathcrs.ourbrothcrs,
our friends, our neighbors, our countrymen.
They were the free men of a freo land.
What their achievements? Not tho satis
lortlon of wild ambition, not the demands
if conquest, not the pursuit of glory, nor
selfish aggrandizement. They came in re
sponse to the call of their country, in obedi
ence to tho command of insulted liberty.
They came to uphold the law in the pre
servation of this government, nnd tlicy
fought in the fulfillment of duty, nnd, after
nil, to say they did their duty well is to
pronounco their highest eulogy. Better
than tho granite shaft, the towering obelisk,
or sculptured marble, is tho enduring re
nown that by beneficent deeds awakens per
petual love in the successive generations of
men, that embodies their names and their
work In the lasting traditions of mankind.
Such a claim upon posterity havo thote
upon whose graves to-day are poured a na
tion's tears, whose grand deeds to-day com
mand a nation's veneration. These simple
graves, theso crumbling mounds, may dis
appear) but the glory of thoso who sleep
shall gild tho historic page, breathing a
vital spirit through the literature of the age,
tho theme ol poetry and song and eloquence,
and wako to living fire the human heart so
long as heroism shall Inspire a worshiper or
freedom claim a votary.
We can better appreciate tho far-reaching
results of our national success in the late
war by glancing for a moment at the issues
presented in that conflict. Thn mi-nli.t
States thrust Into the foreground and took
lielter behind the proposition that secession
ua u laiu&muiionai rigut reserve! to the
States. This was primarily a legal question,
but they chose not to carry it into thocourts
of law, but to submit to the arbitrament of
the sword. Tho oceeasion of resorting to
the exercise of this assorted right was tho
evidence furnished by the election of Mr.
Lincoln that tho policy of the government
upon the slavery question must thenceforth
be restrictive of tho territorial extension of
the institution. The two systems of free
and slave labor socially and economically,
iolitically and geographically, antagonistic
generated what was most aptly termed
an irrepressible conflict) and, when the ad
vocates of slavery sought to secure the per
petuation of that institution by exercising
the asserted right under the constitution to
carry their States out of tho Union, beside
the mere legal or political question, which
Involved the very existence of tho Union
and of the Federal Government, there was
necessarily added the social and moral cle
ment of tho slavery question, which soon
forced tho nation, as a means of self-pro-eervation,
not only to striko its blows in de
fense of the lawful authority of the govern,
ment but to engago upon the side of liberty
and the rights of man. But not alone in
its moral aspect was tho war confined to the
questions jjrowing out of the agitation of
slavery. There were otherand far-reaching
interests at stake. For ages the world has
been trying to solve tho great questions of
government and to establish the capacity of
mankind for self-government. Experiment
after experiment had resulted la either sotyd
dlslnlecration or Usurpation and tvramiv.
In tho American Republic tho hopa bf the
world and its faith in an intelligent de
mocracy as the basis of a round and free
government was beimr iustificd. Its down
fall Would scat more securely on bis throno
every monarch, and retard the advanco of
republican -sentiments a hundred years,
What wonder, then, that when our bo
marched forth to battle, to decide Mot on
the fate' of this government, the future of
tno minions in bondage, out determine lor
centuries the political progress of the world,
the liberal minds throughout all Christen
dom, having at heart tho dearest interests
of tho race, watched with most painful
anxiety every phase snd step of the great
conflict. And when our heroes, thoso that
remained, came back With their laurels of
yictory, they had determined npt only that
there was power in this government to co
erco a 'sovereign state, Dut mat tiencciortii
the sun in heaven, as ho traversed this con
tinent front ocean to ocean. In all its broad
expanse, should shine upon a slave no more

Jaw-abiding people tan not only bo a law.
making and a law-enforcing people but that
they are tho surest and safest guarantee of a
permanent and beneficent government.
So.' In the far-renchine consenuences de-
(lendent in the result of that issue, tho vaat
and almost incalculable importance of the
interests involved. Wo discern for those who
carried out to filial success tho cause of
national unity, free labor, and self-govern
ment, claims upon the gratitude, not alone
of their fellow citizens, but of all mankind.

for me to-day,howevcr appropriate the occa

scenes in which our honored dead were tho

How, at times, it seemed as' though the
struggle wero hopeless, that all wcro lost but
honor!' Yet, as wo Watch" them, with tho
old ship of State, sailing out amid the roar
of the wild tempest, rising and falling upon
the waves of war's tumultuous sea, ever in
glory above them streams grandly tho
proud flag of our country. Wo review
again tho glories of Donclson, Shiloli;
Corinth, Vicksbure, Lookout Mountain,
ucltysburg, Fair uaks, ilalVern Hill, At
lanta, Mobile, New Orleans, the March to
.the Sea, and all tho names that fill the
mighty list from Sumptcr to Appomattox,
trembling at the sound of defeat and thrill
ing with tho notes of victory. How price-'
less is this picture, hung. in the halls of pre
vious memory I Tho vivid reali ties de
lineated in its magnibcent groupings and
unrivaled coloring can command no por
traynl in- speech. Vain were tho temerity
that would seek to deepen shadows already
k tragic in their darkness, or gild a light of
such surpassing radiance.
In the long roll of illustrious names of
lalen heroes tbcro come troubling on the
lips those gallant leaders, Baker, Lyon,
Sedgwick, Kearney, McPhcrson, and a host
bf others-conspicuous in that fearful strug
gle! but, while our homage is paid to illus
trious service, wo must not ignore for & mo
ment; the half-million of men who, without
the pomp and circumstance of high position,
lald'down their lives without a murmur or
complaint. Who could do more than this?
Who bear higher testimony to their loyalty
,than the gift of lifo upon a country's altar?
tnese men sleep to-uoy in undisturbed re
pose all over the land of the South, Many
of them rest in unknown graves, where no
loving hand can placo abovo their ashes
tno garland or uowers. They sleep in the
tabu embrace of Death, no stone to mark
the spot made crimson with their blood,
unknown and unseen by all save Him
whoso all-seeing eye and all-embracing love
preserveth to a blessed resurrection. So,
wnijo mis morning we pcriorm our miss on
of lovo and gratitude towards these reposing
nere, let every neart go out in us iunncss oi
Affection unto all the patriot dead. At Get
tysburg and Antlctam, from tho very gates
of the capital, all along where the Poto
mac' waves kiss the sacred soil of the Old
Dominion, to the Chickahominy and the
James, they sleep. They rest in peace to
day where onco the red tide of war poured
along its gory flood over the dread field of
tbo'Wilderhess, and swept with the besom
of destruction along the beautiful Shenan-
dm,!,. TIiav ih, IfM.T.Inv wtion. Hia Pii m
uerland and Tennessee havo traced their
courses across tho bosom of tho South)
and at Fort Pillow, Memphis, VIckaburg,
Port Hudson, Baton Rouge, and New Or
leans, all along where tho mighty Missis
sippi pours its flood of waters to the Gulf,
From where historic Lookout lifts its brow
abovo the clouds, along the pathway of the
fire that marked the course of Sherman to
Atlanta, thence down to tho sea, tho mighty
dead aro sleeping. And wbcro heave and
swell tbu angry waters of the Gulf, and
where the ceaseless tides of the dark Atlantic
roll, there sleep our brave, unmoved by alt
the turmoil of an ocean grave, awaiting the
end of time.
My friends, in a certain sense, we can not
honor these dead. No act of ours, however
reverent the thought that inspires it, can
ever reach them. Yet? in a higher nnd a
nobler tense, is that privilege accorded us)
Indeed, it appeals to us as a duty. It lies
in the thorough grasp and comprehension of
the work they accomplished, aud the carry
ing of it forward to its full completion.
They fought in a war which had its origin
in diverse interests, sectional, moral,
social, industrial, and political. The cause,
slavery, from which all theso diversities
sprang, it has been their glorious work to
remove. They tougnt, to maintain the
Union, against disunion. To secure it they
uprooted the very cause which made dis
union desirable, and hence possible. That
Union is based upon the fundamental pro
position that governments derive their just

whenoo those diversities sprang, it follows
that all those differences, hatreds, enmities,
and animosities productive of and growing
out of the war should cease with that which
gave them birth and nourishment. There

I hold that it Is not necessary to bo rich.
nor powerful, nor great, to bo a success;
neither is it necessary to havo your namo
uciwccu tne putrid lips oi rumor to bo great.
Tho happy man is the successful man in
this world of turmoil and strife; and tho
man or woman who makes somebody else
happy is happy, too. The man that has
gained the lovo and respect of his friends
and fellow citizens, his life has been a suc
cess, no matter where he dies; and, if ha
gets to bo a crownod monarch of (he world,
and never had the genuine love and esteem
of his neighbors and countrymen, his lifo
has been an ashen vapor.
Contentment, happiness, and peace of
mind ore preferable to all the transient and
vanishing glories of earth. I can present
this idea to your minds no better than by
citing tho following eloquent and striking
illustration, in the language bf tho greatest
orator of the age :
"A littlo while ago I stood by the tomb
of the first Naiuleon, a magnificent tomb of
gilt and gold, fit almost for a dead deity,
and here was a great circle, and in the bot
tom there, in a sarcophagus, rested at lost
the restless ashes of that man. I looked at
that tomb, and I thought about tho career of
the greatest soldier of the modern world.
As 1 looked I could see him walking up
uuu uuwu ino uuu us ui iuc oeino conicni-
flating suicide. I could eco him at Toulon ;
could sec him at Paris, putting down tho
mob; I could sea him at tho head of the
army of Italy ; I could sco him cross the
Ifidgo of Lodii with the the tricolor in his
hand; I saw him in Egypt, fighting battles
under the shadow of the Pyramids; I saw
him returning) saw him conquer the Alps
and mingle tha eagles of France with tho
eagles of Italy) I saw him at Marengo; I
saw him at AusterliU; I saw him in Rus
sia, where the infantry of the snow and tho
blast emoto his legions with the icy windsof
Winter. I saw hiin at Leipsic) hurled back
upon Paris) banished) and I saw him es
cape, from Elbaand retake an empire by the
force of his genius. I saw him ut the field
of Waterloo, where fato and chanco com
bined to wreck tha fortunes of their former
king. I saw him at SU Helena with his
hands behind his back, gazing out upon the
sad and solemn sea, aud I thought of all
the widows he had made, of all the or
phans, of all the tears that had been shed
for his glory and I thought of the woman,
the only woman who ever loved him,
pushed from his heart by the cold hand of
ambition and I said to myself, as I gazed,
I would rather have been a French peasant
and worn wooden shoes, and lived in a lit
tle hut with a vine running over tha door
and the purple grapes growing red in the
amorous kisses of the sun I would rather
have been that poor French peasant, and sit
in my door, with my wife kuittlng by uiy
side, and my children upon my knees with
their arms about my neck I would rather
have lived and died unnoticed aud unknown
except by those who loved me. and cone
down to the voiceless silence of the dream
less dust I would rather have been that
French peasant than to have been that im
perial impersonation of force and murder
who covered Europe with blood nnd tears."
Will the time ever come when the reason
and the better judgment of men will over
come their passions, prejudices, ambitions,
and desires for wealth, fame, and glory, and
that wars will cease? That would be an
era of real glory. In the language of

Stubbing Affray at Lull Inter An Old
Feud Rtanllsjlrt Death,
On Saturday evening a hurrible affair
transpired, by which a man was hurried into
eternity by tho hand of a fellow-couutrymuu.
Both wero Italians and an old feud had long
existed between them
Habitouk Dx Cavio, tho .murdered man,
hud been to Hazleton ou business, aud era
ho returned had imbibed rather freely of in
toxicating liquors. On his return to Lattl
mer he reeled up to the shanty where ho
boarded, and whore he, in company with
others, joined in a general conversation. It
was not long, however, Until his eyes fell ou
FnANK CiinisTi, the murderer. Hare the
feud that had long existed, fired by tho li
quor he had drank, burst out in a torrent
Irom the man Subitore De Cavio, to which
the man Christ! listened for a while and '
then retorted. In a short time the words
ran high nnd a quarrel was imminent.
Fired by liquor. De Cavio rushed for n club.
and, seizing a stick about four feet long, he
rushed on Christ! and hit him on the head
Then they clinched and tho deadly combat
began, They tugged and strove with venge
ful iro for trie mastery, when Christi, who
was perfectly sober, finally succeeded In
throwing Do Cavio to tho ground ) nnd whilo
his foe was prostrato he drew his knife a

and raising it high in the air ho plunged
it into the leit breast of his victim. .Hastily
withdrawing tho recking blade he again
uungeu it to me nut in the side oi the vie
im. Then arising he sheathed his knife
and left the place. Do Cavio arose to his
feet and attempted to follow, but the loss of
blood and exhaustion soon told on him. and
when he got about ten or fifteen paces he re
turned to the shanty, staggered and fell to
tho floor; where he died in about two min
utes. The spectators, as soon as they saw
the man had died, started after tho murder
er and captured him near Harlcigh. Mr.
John Orgill, of Lattimer, secured tno war
rant fnr the murderer's arrest, which was
served by Jos. D. Hampton, of the Coal and
Iron Police. An immense crowd gathered
In front of tho office of Mr. Hampton when
tho man was broughtto town, and for awhile
the excitement Was intense.
Tho murdered man has a wife and family
in Italy, but the defendant has none. Ha
is a brutish. UglV-lookinff ruffian, and Is
just such a looking wretch from whom such
a aced could uo expected. When taken to
the lock-up he begged pitifully for protec
tion, declaring that his countrymen wnuM
"break the lock-up open, drag him out, tar
him, and burn him alive." So great was his
terror that out of his own pocket he paid
special police to remain with him.
This morning he was taken to Wllkcs
Barro on tho 6 15 a. m. tralh, in charge of
Officer Hampton. A coroner's jury was
impaneled on Sunday, who rendered a
verdict according to facts.
Yesterday afternoon 'Squire Roberts sub

It is probabio that ho will soon know tha
difference between tho Italian stilletto and
American rope as an exterminator or life.

Attempted Wife Murder.
The quietness of Phllllpsburg, New
Jersey, Sunday night about eleven
o'clock was disturbed by the cries
of murder emanating from the residence of
Patrick Mehan, a Very respectable citizen
residing in tho First ward. The facts aro
as fol lows ! About two years ago h is daugh ter,
Mary Jane, a bright and handsome young
lady of eighteen summers, was married to a
young man named Peter Youngken. Short
ly after their marriago a child was born to
them, and the husband abandoned his fatui
ly, leaving his young wife to earn her own
livelihood. Her father took her home and
provided for herself and child. The hus
band went to Howe, Texas, which place he
wos compelled to leave last fait for having
shot and killed a man in a drhnken fight.
Sunday evening ho called nt tho residenco
of his wife and asked to have a talk witli
her. He had been seated but a few mo
ments when he informed bis wife that ho
had come to tako poesossion of the rhild.
6ho refused to givo up the loved one, when
ho drew a largo knife and throwing his wife
upon the floor, was in the act of plung
ing it into her breast when her father seized
the villain's arm nnd wrenched tho knife
from his grasp. During the melec Xt. Me
han was severely cut about the hands.
Youngken was arrested and locked up. On
Monday morning his wife, made complaint
against the brute, and in default of bail, ho
was committed to tho jail of Warren county
for trial.
