From the uni- versal rep pm the visitors to the eapital on that occasion, both the members of the 5 their relatives and citizens, it was to them in’ all respects an enjoyable reunion. Hut there was a feature of all that transpired that was unsurpassed in interest by any other, out of which hes grown this visit of pleasure and duty here today. We refer to the many acta of courvesy, attention and comfort ex- tended by the veteran soldiers of the conted- y to the G. A. R. revisiting Virginia and yland. The earnestness and cordiality manifested toward the veterans of the Union army made an unusual and a most favorable and significant impression. The good reports that came from Rich- mond, led us to the de:ermination that the citi- zens’ executive committee having in charge the reception and entertainment of the G. A. R. on behalf of the citizens of Washington would indicate their ackuowledgment, high appreciation and gratitude by a visit ‘to the Kobert E. Lee Camp for the purpose of pre- senting a suitable testimonial. After some in- quiry and consideration it seemed most appro- prinie and desirable that we should fit up ine proper manner a ward in the Confederate Sol- diers’ Home, provided for disabied veterans. Nothing el-e we cou!d find could express our feelings and good will more appropriately. While civil wars are the most cruel, involving as they do kindred and friends as aniazonists, the wounds are deeper, the bitterness more in- tense. slower to heal and longer remembered, we are well advanced into the time reached the era when real recon- ciliation should be complete aud final; tha: we should be one people, single in purpose, with our faces turned solely to the future, aiming for and securing the highest degree of peace, prosperity and happiness for all believing in ad devoted to our government as the greavest public upon the earth and as bestowing the t blessings apon the people.

Oleott, now located in Richmond as manager of Woodward & Lothrop’s store there, was present and responded handsomely to « call for a speech. Gen. Boynton’s brief address was eloquent and won much appinuse. He spoke proudly of the fighting qualities of the American soldier, both north and south. and in the course of bis re- marks said: | **With all my radical convictions in regard to the ques.ions over which we fought as clean cut in my mind as m the dars of war I still’ greet you. my con! friends, with a sincer: and aco: which you could not wish to have increased.
