Comrades Parson, Ciraham, Hughes and Long wore thu other delegates from the association. A spirited dlseurslon was held re garding the memorial fountain which Is to bo reared over tin. famous spring which gushed forth at the Confedcialo prison, and which proved such a provi dential source of succor to the pilson ers forced to often drink tlio foulest of water. It Is proposed to dedicate this fountain on Memorial day and letters weio yesterday read commissioning Major lVareo lo lecelve tontilhutlous to the fund. A number of tlie ex-prls-onc-rs who wen; In And'-rsonvllle at the time tli.it the water miraculously (lowed forth c.xpiessed their opinion that tho OLCiirreiKo was it wonderful manifestation of the power of t!od. Major Peine in making his report declared that at tlio encampment Coni radu Hairy Palmer quoted a tongress man as saying that the bill pensioning 1'nlon ex-prisoners of war would never he passed under Its piesont lii.tdlug. This statement aroused fitli h general comment that Adjutant Ulpplo read tho bill, width provides "tor granting pcnslona to soldiers and allots con tlilud during the war In so-called Con fedeiate prisons." f Tin bill was given Into tho hands of a senate committee, but never reached the house. It provides for the payment of t'i for ueh tiny spent It, prl-iin. Major Poaice nuu'e aft u1 the reading of the bill and said: "A 1H.W bill ought to h" dialled, which would be presented at the n"xt .ntlsoii of congress and If there Is any thing obtioxlotti la Us heading let ui uiiiotc It." THIS HILL D1SUUSSUD. This was the signal for a soiles ,if ruiiaikt; on the subject, one veteran In whoso breast still rankled the pilvn lions and hardships of Llbby, orating as follows: ''Is that name Confederate. a blench In the nostrils ot southern congreewnen? 1 do nut believe In making any concessions, and for one will never licit any boots to get ,t southern vote " Itev. Dr. Logan spoke or tho Injustice ot tho holding up ol tho hill. "For two years during the win," ho Bald, "the government deliberately put on the exchange of ptlsoners. I hope that wo will never give up tho piojeet until Jiiiitlco has been done." Oolonsl Ulpplo lomaiked that tho rtov eminent considered it a military necessity to avoid an exchungo, as ovtry Union prisoner kept a Confeder ate out of tho ranks P. It. Campbell, of AVIlKos-Uarre, characterized tho objection to tho bill's heading as n mow subterfuge, anil do clured that sMneo KSO It has been be foro tho Fcnnto every year, with no ultimate success, llo declared that ho cor.fidered the bill utterly hopeless, ttid said that It wai unfouunnle In not having more Inilttentlal fi lends.
