Grand Army of the ltepnblic.
Oil Citt, Aug. 9'.h, 1SG9.
Editor Record: Many who have not
been, and others who were soldiers, at the
present time are enquiring what is the
Grand Army of the Republic! They are
answered by the uninitiated that it is a se
cret political organization. Now, as a mem
ber and A. D. C. to the Commander ot this
State, who, by the way, la a Democrat, I
write this to correct the erroneous impres
sion now formed In the minds of many, that
the G. A. R. is a secret political organiza
tion. This Is far from the truth, as I do not
know or have I ever known where It has
been used for political purposes, and in my
opinion any attempt to so control it, would
seal its death-warrant within 90 days. The
organization is a benevolent mutual aid as
sociation of soldiers and sailors ot tbe lato
war, engaged In works of love and pbilan
throphy for their suffering oomrades, or the
survivors of deceased comrades. The labors
of the organization have been productive of
much good, and with more mature growth
and prosperity will be of invaluable service
in the causo of humanity and patriotism,
and were it not for this organization, in a
great measure, tboso kind and fraternal
feolings which have in the past bound to
gether soldiers, would iood become dormant,
and their services be soon forgotten.
Shall it be that they are to be so soon for
getton, and those who endured tho hard
ship! of four years war and fought many a
hard fight side by side, pass the remainder
of tholr days without a sign of recognition,
and when in need of aid be passed by by
former comrades unrecognized? Surely,
not so long as tbe G. A. R. exists. If there
is one matter of philanthropic concern that
is tbe cause of painful reflection more than
another, it is the sad condition of somo of
our former comrades, searred, maimed and
disabled for life, and in many instances
compelled to solicit their daily bread from
door to door, or to turn the organ's crank in
tbe publio streets for the means of prolong
ing life; it is shocking to a sense of Justice
or humanity. It is no ordinary eondescen
slon for soldier to turn a common medi-
cant, and that in tbe country he has disa
bled himself to uphold, and wander thro'
districts where his early march for tbo
scorchiug field, was vociferously applauded,
lie is forced to enroll himself among ac
knowled paupers, and beg from door to door
for that wbioh is already acoorded to bin.
tu iv. -.v. , Myft people, a solQier,
although poor In purse, and unblessed with
scholarships, Is not as destitute cf honorable
qualities as some persons would have ns be
lieve. His spirit Is lowered and justly so.
He seeks the attention his arduous services
demand of bis country, and tbe generosity
his useless slumps and frightful scars should
enlist from a people whom he has helped to
save from the atrocious crimes ol Internal
conflict. He waves ao armless sleeve, or
dangles the envelope of a former limb of
hardy muscle and prompt aotlon, yet bis
supplications bring not to bim the particu
lar aid bU condition requires.
There are those that denovoco tho Grand
Army of tbe Republic; who say let the sol
dier seek some honorable employment; Borne
steady labor where bis services will control
bis future capital: and if be would vindicate
himself from disgrace, let him devote bim.
self to mercantile or mechanical labor.
These suggestions are good, but look at the
facts. On inquiry we find that many of
those soldiers now suffering from want of
steady labor have never learned a trade, or
If so, are by reason of wounds or disease
contracted while in tbe government servico,
unable to ply their vocations. Many bred
up on the broad fluids of a father's farm,
threw down tbe scythe and turned the hor
ses lots at tbo tidings of Sumpter's fall, and
declared themselves for their country.
Many wero yet prosecuting their education,
and surrendered the prospects of future pro
fessional lifu and an bonorablo competence,
for tbo dangers of tbo battle field. Circum
stances beyond tho control of human ener
gy steps boldly between tbe suggestions of
u business mind, and the stubborn facts of
the parties in question. And we hold that
the soldier should not bo allowed a further
sufferlug because of his inability to drive a
plane or rig a schooner. War, with all its
attending evils has developed the more sor
did and base qualities of man and in many
instances the kuen and cauaciouH perception
of our youth have been wantonly blunted by
pernicious practices, yet the soldier is still a
man, and as a portion of tho nation's
strength, should not bo shelved like a worn
out machine. Let thoeo who censure, meas

Facts are stubborn things, anil here is
one very aptly stated by tbe New York
Day Book:
Tbe Imperialist is trying to persuade the
people that tbey will be much better off
under a monarchy than it is possible for
them to be under a republic. Well Eng
land is tbo best specimen of a monaroby,
in tbo world bow is it with the peoplo
there! Of the 20,000,008 of people of Eng
land 4,000,000 are paupers, as appears by
a late debate in tbe ITouse of Commons.
A New York dispa'.cb says the soiztire of
tbe Spanish gunboats is looked upon as a
farce. Crowds of workmen are still engaged
upon tbem. When finished tbey will be
turned over to tbe Spanish Minister, who
will pledge himself to Secretary Fish that
they shall not be used in the war with Peru.
Tho gunboats will then bo allowed to do
part. '
Tne following notice wus found pasted on
a large box which was parsed ever ono of

smashers are requested tp bandlo this box
with caro, as it contains nitro-glycerine,
Greek fire, gun cotton, and two live goril
las!" It is unnecessary to say that tbe box
was not broken.
Some malicious chap who has probably
been kicked out of a Saratoga hotel as a

that a barrel of salt is put into Congress
