OBJECTS OF THE NEW ASSOCIATION OF UNION AND CONFEDERATE VETERANS. The bill to incorporate the Military Order of America, introduced in the House by Repre- sentative Wheeler and referred to the District committee, names forty-three incorporators. Thirty-seven of these are well-known citizens of the District; thirty-eight are ex-Union sol- diers, and five ex-confederates; thirty-five are members of thé Grand Army of the Republic, and several are members of the Loyal em Among the incorporators are Maj. William Howard Mills, Col. Royal E. Whitman. Gen. Marcus J. Wright, Gen. Albert Ordway. Dr. N. Bliss, Col. Felix A. Reeve, Col. T. G. Mi row, Maj. W. P. Huxford. Col. W. G. Moore. Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, Gol. George K. Brady, Gen. James R. O'Beirne, Dr. J. F. Hartigan, Col. James A. Bates and Gen. James B. Coit. One of the objects of the order. as specified in the bill, is to erect a memorial building at the national capital that will be a suitable mon- ument to the valor, patriotism and fidelity of the American soldier and sailor since the days of Washington, and the establishment in the building of a war museura and library, and finally to strengthen the renewed bonds of union between the states, and to so educate their children as to forever insure the nation from the perils of another civil war. The order, it is said, will consist, first, of the men who were regularly enlisted or mustered in either of the contending armies during the war; segond. of their sons who have reached the required age; third. of such patriotic citi- zens as desire to contribute to its success. One- half of all admission fees and fixed dues from members to go to the building fund to be used, first, for the erection of the memorial building until completed and then for the erection of the war museum and library. It is not proposed to ask Congress for anything more than a per- ‘tual charter, permission to erect the build- ing upon one of the public reservations and one copy of the books sent by publishers to the Congressional library. It is anticipated that every state in the Union will, on behalf of the men each sent to the armies, contribute liber- ally. Sees eee A Plumber's Predicament. HANGING FROM A NAIL IN THE BASEMENT OF A STA~ TION HOUSE. Yesterday morning about 2 o'clock Station- keeper Rollins and several reporters were sit- ting in the first precinct station when they were startled by cries of “murder” and “help.” Upon investigation it was discovered that the cries came from the basement. Just then Po- licemen Ellis and Heller came in, and search- ing the cellar, found a young man hanging,on a nail by his trousers. with his head downward. ‘They rescued him from his awkward position and carried him up-stairs to the front office. He gave his name as Wm. Gardner, a plumber, He was well dressed and said it was the first time he had ever been drunk. His presence in the cellar was explained by him in this way. He was passing down 12th street and hardly knew where he was. The basement window was open, and he attempted to crawl in and re- main over night. The result was he got a tumble, and his clothing caught on the nail. A charge of “drunk” was made agzinst him, and he was cared for until daybreak. Biescrsnbon demi Two Golden Weddings. TWO OF THEM OCCUR ON THE SAME EVENING. Next Thursday evening the fiftieth anni- versary of the marriages of two old citizens of Washington, Capt. Isaac Bassett and James M. Wright, esq., will occur. Capt. Bassett was born in this city August 4, 1819. His father came here in the early days of this city from Connecticut and his mother from Ireland. He ‘attended the preparatory department of Columbian college. Before he was twelve years old he was appointed a page in the Senate through the influence of Daniel Webster. He hasremained in the service of the Senate ever since, and is now assistant sergeant- at-arms. He has been in service fifty-eight years, and is the oldest employe of the govern- ment. James -M. Wright was born in Alexandria, then in the District of Columbia, November 4, 1817. After his early school days in Alexandria he moved to Maryland, and finally came to this city. where he became chief clerk of the jud ivocate-general’s office, an office which held for more than twenty years. apenetial: Transfers of Real Estate.

It was claimed by the de- fendants that three drunken men had insulted the woman and Davis resented it, and that when the three men were about to attack Davis she attempted to stop them. Davis pleaded guilty ‘and was fined $5 and the woman dismissed. ——_—.____ A Wasurxaton Ciatw Agent IN TROUBLE.— A dispatch from New York says that ‘a well- dressed ho said his name was Thomas P.

The vote of the states need not be disturbed, | but a law may be passed to give this vote a dif- ferent expression. In the Forty-fifth Congress Iwas one of a committee, composed of Gen. Ben.

My proposition was not to give the entire electoral vote of a state to one set of | electors, but to’ give each their proportion, | according to the popular vote in the state, | For instance, Kentucky has thirteen electoral | votes.

I think this could be readily done and th® people would elect a President of their choice.” ‘The New Christmas Literature. Mr. Howells, in The Study, There seems arising in these times a new Christmas literature which boldly affirms that it lies behind, that science has ignored some- thing, has left something out of the account, and that the forgotten factor {s Christ himself. The new Christmas literature is not specifically adapted to the Christmas season; it is not ex- pressed in any more kindly poems, perfervent essays, or tales, little or long, alone, but in books that have meaning for the whole year and for bof moment of life, but that may be most profitably read and pondered now, when all the associations of the time ought to re- mind usof the Man who came to bring peace and good-will to men. The new Christmas literature does not necessarily deck itself with sprigs of holly, and bathe itself in pools of burning brandy on platters borne by the tin- sel-crowned, bottle-nosed genius of the feast to the board smoking with bowls of wassail, while the upper servants carouse in their hail, and the scullions carry out the fragments of the second table to the dogs and the poor. But it remembers that the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and it does not frown upon hon- est revelry and innocent mirth, thopgh it en- treats each and every one of us first tr love his neighbor as himself, and to be mindful of him not only now, dut throughout the year. Oddly enough, after a period of scientific exaltation, in which it seemed as if man might really live by the nebular hy, alone if he could but have a little help from the missing link, the new Christmas literature denies that there ing of life everlasting in these things, and it reverts openly to the New Testament as the sole source of hope and comfort, ‘oo —____—- A Georgia Senator’s Protest. APPLYING OPPROBRIOUS NAMES TO LINCOLN. Atlanta Special to the New York World, Dec. 22.

Mayer's election will bea great ad- vantage to the Consolidated coal companies, of which he is also president. Indeed, it has just been discovered that it was his relations with the consolidated companies and his extensive coal properties that have won him the $20,000 =e of president of the Baltimore and io. The Consolidated companies’ mines are in the great bituminous coal basin of Maryland lying between Davis and Savage mountains, The company has a capital of over 210,000,000, and owns 7.000 acres in the big coal vein and 14,000 in the smallcr veins. Connecting these fields with the Baltimore and Ohio is the Cum- berland and Pennsylvania railroad, owned by the Consolidated companies, The West Vir- inia railroad company, with its we ae ee! terests, is the rival of the Consolidated.
