And now, in the same ig time, we come with fairest flowers and sweetest perfumes, with tender recol- jections aud with loving words to strew the graves and honor the memories of our dead comrades, Ae once in we take the old touch of elbows, as once ‘again we fail into place in the famtitar lines of blue, reeo! is are fll and speech is down the ranks, ang not many of there aa 5 & : > hearts q » have come home, so from all the fields of the war were gathered the brave men who sleep together here and whose ashes we are met to honor, Eaving, they gave their all for the nation and the , they hallowed the na- § ory.

From to. toa day lessons for us the living. Could these silent Sleepers stir they would fold your flowers very Soscly to their cold hearts, and their pale lips wor whisper tender thanks for your pious love. They would also bid you to be just to the living as well as sweetly mindful of the dead, Flowers for our heroes’ ashes. Bread and work for the living veteran. Men of Brooklyn, these words come to you to-day eloquent with thi speechless eloquence of death. It is not charity the soldier seeks; it is work, opportunity to be a man here among men in the ind of peace as he pet was a hero where heroes fought and heroes fell. Whenever you have such work as our poor maimed zomrades can do-seek out these stricken ones and make them ners, not of your charity, but of your justice. Your wealth is safe to-day be- cause these men stood between it and the ruin of revolution; ee homes are happy; your dear ones are protected by sure law, and your ig honored becanse these men made themselves a living wall about those homes and compelled obedience to that law, and bore that flag in victory from the Potomac to the far Rio Grande. Gentlemen of the city government who have honored us by your presence here to-day, large opportunity is yours to nobly lead in this work of love and justice; I ber lieve that I but speak the wishes and the judgment of most of the returned soldiers of al! political parties when I say that we have little care whether in distributing your oficial Ero ped yor give place and salary to our able-bodied comrades or with- hold them.» But whenever you have a place that a one-armed ora one-legged soldier or satior can fill, we beg you to find one who is capable and honest and honor yourselves more than you will honor hin by ges him in it, elieve me the people will uphold you in such justice, and thus shall you do much towards keeping our government pure and honored. To us who were permitted to share in the great privilege of following the flag when the flag was in danger and assalied, these asnes also speak ‘a lesson, which let us both hear and heed. ‘These men so loved liberty and fatherland that patiently and fearlessly they welcomed wounds, sickness and death. They leit home, dear ones, ease and op- portunity of wealth, and counted all not loss but ren, 80 they might keep our land from rent and our jag from stain. They sought no promotion. They coveted no distinction, They patiently lived. They bravely died. Their work was done. The land was saved, And in yonder heaven God has given them their sure reward. So tet us humbly live, doing each our duty where duty lies, Let no soldier, with uninanly fawning, seek political preferment as the S= of his courage and the reward of his sacrifice, When official place shall come, tendered by the un- solicited gratitude of the people, if your home re- lations and business Se eentlaes are such that you can, without injustice to family and self, ac- cept oficial duty, accept it gratefully and hambly, accept 1t a8 a Means of serving the State, not as a means of benefiting yourselves. As you did not go to the field that you might get profit, so keep your dignity and manhood in your return to the duties of home and peace, and let no fll-gotten gain ever soil the hand that grasped a musket or drew a sebre. The old blue coat that hangs in some sate nook is a higher badge of honor than any you shall ever win again; ee ate shall proadly tell of how their £ sire fought in the great war for liberty, when t “i will have forgotten all about your civil service and political honor. And to all of us, citizens and soldiers, these graves are breathing to-day most earnest and solemn teachin; They tel), and oh, how eloquently, the vaine of our iiberties and the great cost of these free institutfons. Let no man feel, as he turns from these graves goes back to his daily living, that he can safely or conscientiously neglect the responsibilities and duties of his American citi- es Let no man feel that he can ever stay away from the polis and be guiltless if bad men through his indifference bakig eg into piaces of power and trust. Let no man feel that he can honestly neg- Ject the caucus aad the nominating convention and then when ambitious and designing men have foisied their tools upon the party, cast his individual respon- sibility upon that party and blindly follow its lead- ings and support its candidates. These are plain words, but they are spoken amid the graves of dead comrades that their grand a and grander ying may mould and shape our fature living. These ashes tell us that neither foreign assault nor doimes- tie treason #hall be able to break our Union and tear down our starry flag. They tell us that only popu- lar disregard of political duty and prevailing political corruption shall weaken our government and destroy our liberties, for the worm gnaws through the oak which the tempest could not bend, and the canker eats to the core which the sagem | could not reach. These ashes tell us thatif our lan: and laws were worthy that brave men should die for their keeping they are worthy that pure men and unselfish men should simply live in a grand fidelity to the duties of a true democracy. Citizens and comrades, shall we not humbly strive to heea these teachings? And from these ashes come still other words of love and peace. Here in the strange and silent brotherhood of death sleep the soldiers of the Blue and of the Gray. No word of mine shall diminish the glory of the cause for which com- rade fell; nor yet shall word of mine cast useless vit- ternesa upon the memory of my fallen foe. With sin- cere sorrow for the sad errors of we , as we recall the bitterness of sectional strife and the correpeng influences of vhat great national sin, whic! away with the revellion to which it had given rth, we Would reverentiy Rather, forgive them, for they knew not what they did.’ And #0 we turn from those graves to-day loving, hopetul and no longer sad. We believe that as each retarn- ing spring shall come to cover with grass and flow- ers the fields where our comrades fell and the graves where they lie buried, all bitterness shal! from out all hearts both North and South, and hand in hand ali men shall walk beneath our flag the ways of justice, brotherhood and jove. We believe that as our people were brave enough to keep tle fag against all assault and through all danger, #0 shat a, be wise enough and pure enough to crush jitical corrapuon and compel political honesty, hen next the sweet spring time shall come and the sweet spring flowers shall bloom again as a ratefal people once more gather to decorate he soldiers’ graves, we may not all be here. And each returning year shail sweil the namber of these soldier wes and thin our living ranks. But through long years, 80 tg our people shall jove lberty and honor cow the right, our children and our children’s children shail come to strew with flowers these little mounds; and as they recail these men who sleep in holy hope of the resurrec- tion, and tell how and why these died, they shall @ach year renew the nation’s life and purity, Rev. SYLVESTER MALONR was the next orator, and then followed the benediction. The graves were decorated with a profusion tS floral offerings.

With many disadvantages the floral decorations were carried ont yesterday in Jersey City in a man- ner that evinced how heartfelt were the feelings of those who paid this tribute to the gallant fellows who parted company with their families and friends in this world in order that those who come after them may havea country worth fighting for. It is to be regretted that more harmony did not exist in the councils of the promoters of this movement. In Hudson county, if not in the whole State, the solemn services demanded that there should be no division, no rivalry, among those who after all had acommon interest, and owed a common obligation to the fallen soldiers. Bergen City and Hoboken chose Sunday, thongh the com- mittee, yielding to the s ions of those who grumbled about the desecra' of the Sabbath, ap- pointed Monday for the celebration. Hoboken, how- ever, is generaliy obstinate and intractabie in mat- ters where her neighbors may reap and share of the benefit, covetous aud selfish, and much in the tem- per of the man who would have all or nothing. But ‘with ali the drawbacks, the committee succeeded, Flags waved on the ferryboats, pablic buildings and numerous private residences during the day. ‘The booming of cannon at the armory of the Hudson county artillery announced the opening and the close of the celebration. The Fourth regiment, National Guard, paraded in Washington street at one o'ciock, the members of the Grand Army of the Republic formed in line about the same time, the Mayor and Common Counetl of Jersey City, in carriages, aw: the order to move, the Liedertafel Society, on the other side of the street, watched for the’ signal, while a number of young ladies In white passed on to thier place,and after & fewlother pretiminaries the order to move was given. Reinhardt’s brass band struck up the dead march, and the sight was most aifecting as the procession slowly marched through Grand street. After the Marshal and aids came @ section of the Hudson connty artiliery, the Fourth regiment and Phil Kearney Post, Then came the hearse con- taining the flowers and drawn by six white horses, followed by yop bearing the Moral committee of young ladies and the carriages containing citizens and city officials, Bx-Mayor Gopsill sat with Mr. A.

The chapel of the Ursuline Convent, at Melrose, Westchester county, was yesterday’ morning dedi- cated by Archbishop McCloskey, according to the im- posing ceremonial of the Catholic Church. The chapel was thronged with visitors, On the nght hand side sat the students—those to be confirmed, thirty-five in number, being dressed in pure white. The other young ladies were dressed in the beautiful uoiform of the convent, to wit—blue dresses and white veils. ‘There are in the convent forty-eight sisters, four- teen novices and 120 students.

He concluded his address by saying:—‘‘This has been a happy day to us ail, but to you, dear children, it is a eculiarly happy day, because itis aday when the oly Ghost comes to you to enrich you with his seven-fold gifts, to strengthen and confirm all that ‘was done in the first hour of your baptism.” He ad- dressed them in relation to the obligations and duties brought upon them by the act of confirma- tion. ‘The most important thing for you to pre- serve,” said he, ‘4s your holy faith. Lose this and your souls are lost.” A long éxpianation of their duty followed, warning them against temptation, and exhorting them to stand steadfast in the faith in which they were baptized. They then went forward to where the Archbishop sat, and two by two were confirmed. Mrs. B. Lawrence stood godmother to the entire number, and received the congratulations of her friends on haviug such a family of promising children.

It will be recoilected that some months ago there was a controversy about the sentiment of Mr. Stan- ton at or about the time of the breaking out of the rebellion, relative to the merits of the issue between the North and the Sonth. On the one hand it was alleged that Mr. Stanton was in {full sympathy with the Southerners; that he said encouraging words to @ certain United States military officer who had determined to espouse the South- ern cause; that he enthusiastically endorsed the course determined upon x ex-Senator Brown, and gave him a Godspeed as he left the United States Senate to wo over to the Southern confederacy, &c., &c. On the other hand, it was by the friends of Mr. Stanton, but never by himserf, denied that he was in sympathy with the rebellion at the commencement thereof, &c., &c. On this subject another and more perfect proof has turned up, A letter is extant writ- ten by Mr. Stanton to a gentieman in the West, wherein the Carnot of the war in unquatified terms expresses his approval of the stand taken by the South and his sympathy with their struggle. The letter is dated after the attack upon Sumter, and ater the dato of the méiee between the Baltimoreans and members of the Massachusetts troops when the jacter were mae through Baltamore en rowie for Washington 1 1661, WEST POINT. "The Examination of the Graduating Class to at Cozzenw’—The Academic Staff. West Pont, May 33, 1869. Since writing my last tetter to the HERALD, a week ago—in which I gave your readers a general idea of what the graduating claas of 1869 has been during the past four years in point of numbers and standing at the Academy, and the blight which the reorganiza- tion of the army has cast upon its hope of being represented. even to the extent of a single “star” in the galaxy of the United States Engineer Corps—the public and private preparations for the ‘‘season”’ have come to an end, much to the satisfaction of everybody concerned, the crinolined portion of the powers that be, in particular, who can now resume their strong tea and gossip without fear or favor. Everything, in fact, is now in readiness for the event of the morrow, which has ‘Goat _its shadow before’ in the shape of a couple of military orders prescribing how and when everything is to be done to tickle the fancy and self-esteem of that bright specimen of know- nothingism called the Board of Visitors, and at the same time ascertain just what the first class thinks and knows about the art of war. Now, people who are not accustomed to the ways and whims of West Point administration, and there are many such peo- ple, may not see anything to admire in these orders, but for all that there is a good deal to be admired in them, Long-nosed professors of an odd turn of mind, and others who delight in anything that smacks of antiquity, will find in them an incompar- able attraction, for they are drawn up in the same form, transcribed in the same words, and hedged abeut with the same military preciseness, that they were fifteen or twenty years ago, i cannot just now recall the name of the illustrious individual who first made his name famous by is- suing the first examination order here, but I feel pretty strongly convinced that, had he accompanied it with an additional mandate compelling all his successors to use his words in their promulgations of asimilar character, only departing from the ori- ginal text inthe matter of dates and afew names here and there, the first order could not have been more faithfully copied and red-taped than it has been s0 far from year to year. it is not my purpose in calling attention to this peculiar attractiveness of the examination orders to insinuate that no person at Woat Point ever knew how to draw up an order of the kind save the original Grand Mogul of the institution, Not at all; but I simply men- tion the fact to show how even military men can cherish a valuable thing when they once t hold of it. And there certainly can be nothing aif 80 Valuable to the head of an academy like this, in the midst of his many cares of state, as to be able to issue @ long order once a year by simply writing a date and day on a printed piece of -paper! ‘Then again, of what incalculable advantage chis order system would be were General Grant, some time or another, to appoint over the post a superintendent without any brains; for, be it known, there are many officers in the army who would be glad to get the position, and who never had such a commodity ‘as brains since the ar Bind were born. In such @ case the originator of the examination order would indeed be called blessed. THE BOARD OF VISITORS.

COCK FIGHTING. Rattling Main Between Newark and Morris- town—Newark the Victor in Five Battles; It was well understood in sporting circles Sunday night that a main between Newark and Morristown was to come off yesterday, somewhere in the vicinity of Hoboken, and those who had “the tip’ did not fail to put in an appearance, as the strain of the birds belonging to each rival is weil known and esteemed. ‘The affair came off at a well known hosteirie nota hun- dred miles from the miasmatic marshes of Weehawken and the attendance was excellent, nearly every known sport being present. The match was for $300 aside, the main in seven batties, and fifty dollars battle money, equal weights, The pit was admi- rably prepared, being in the centre of a vast out- building, affording a full view of the sport to all, while the admirable ventilation of the room called down hearty thanksgivings to the founders of the sport, as the coolest of zephyrs stole in and out of the room, and still cooler lager and al- coholic refrigerants down parched throats, rendered atill more clamorous by the abominable, all-pervad- ing dust. The contestants were long to show, dis- pute after dispute arising as to the proper heels to use—one side claiming the right to either provide its own or choose, the other holding out for pit heels. After tiring out the patience of every one present an arrangement to use pit heels was at last come to, and shortly after three P. M. the sports commenced, of which @ peer is given below. It will be seen that Newark won the main in four patties out of five, after well-contested bouts. How it was done is a mystery. There never was 6 fairer main fought the States, and the Newark birds were far from being tm good condition, lacking in two or three cases evidences of breeding, while Morristown’s birds were first rate in every respect and evidently pre) tor the occasion. Mowevel, a species of bad luck that attends the most careful and sanguine, and to it must be tributed the latter’s signal defeat. At the conclu- gion of the fifth battle—the main bemg won—Morris- town declined continuing and an ment was effected as to the remaining battle money. Two out- side matches then came off, of which the result will algo be found below, and which were well contested. Morristown labored under one it disadvantage— that of not handling its own bb & most important point in cockfighting—walle Newark haa ail to do with its own, from trimming end heeling to their iaatgeeet in the pit. Batile No. 1.—Morristown sent in a birch and New- ark a light red, and their appearance caused a large amount to be invested on the latter at 10 to 8 ‘This fight was perbaps one of the most plucky and determined ever witnessed, though they both went at it rather slowly at first, but soon warmed to their work, the red slashing the birch’s throat in three minutes. Morristown, however, delivered nght ang left, cutting red’s throat and ica his leg, re- ceiving a nasty ig inthe wing for his pains. The red was now bleeding profusely, but Fought gamely until he was withdrawn, after bei ragged over the pit without turning tail. e birch was just able to crow out a defiant clarion, und was se- verely punished. tle No. 2.—Before the appearance of the birds @ great deal of betting in favor of Newark at 10 10 8 and 60 to 40 on the main was indulged in. Newark’s bird was first sm transacted in bis favor, he being as fine a specimen of a black red as one would wish to see. Morristown also sent in a bra of the same color, when anothér round ensued, Morristown fighting, however, against Juck all through. Newark’s got stuck in its own leg at the commencement and had to be liberated, when he rushed at his oppouent, breaking his leg badly. Several rounds followed, Mornatown being gply able to rise on one leg, but fighting manfully, giving Newark several unpleasant digs in the head. Newark rain impaled himself, and apparently ashamed of such awkward conduct, tried to make amends by heeling his adversary’s head. The battle was then a foregone contlusion, Morris- town losing in the end the pluck he had-hitherw ex- hibited, and crawling away. Batiie No, 3.—The betting now was lively, 10 to 6 on Newark finding many takers in triple figures. Morristown pitted a red and Newark a thay, abd the fight was over in four ghort rounds, the gray winning in spite of a cut throat, aud the red’s gameness to the last. (le No. 4.—Betting 10 to 6 on Newark. A very r fight between two grays, Morristown being disabled at the second round, Batile No. 5.—Twenty tO 11 was frequently of- fered on Newark, but found few takers. Morris- town’s bird was a handsome little red, full of fight, while Newark’s was a great, long-leg, lout of a bird, very unsafe to back, The fight was a short one, byte 3 in the third bout driving his spur home in the red’s brain, when the main was declared won by Newark amid some cimeatenenan. The following outside matches then took place:— Twenty dollars a side, catch weights.—A light and dark red were engaged, the light @ half breed, and was won in four minutes by the light bird, after a very poor contest. ‘Twenty-five dollars aside.—Two dark reds, weigh- ing respectively four pounds eight ounces and four pounds six ounces. The heavy bird won in the sec- = Sy tee killing Lis oppoueat ia fine style by a dig in the head. THE SMALLPOX EPIDEMIC, Nearly One Biundred Cases at BI Island Hospital—German and irish Emi- @rants. For the past two weeks there has been an exten- sive prevalence of smalipox among the poor of this city, and consequently a large influx of patients to the smallpox hospital on Blackwell's Isiand, The epidemic is mainiy dve to the arrival of several emi- grant vessels, upon which were victims, most of whom were sent Jimmediately to the island, without landing jiu the city, by the commissioners’ | boat Governor Fenton. Of about ninety cases in the hospital up to last Saturday bowing more than one-half had passed | through Bellevue Hospital, all but one or two in the two weeks ending May 5, Week betoFe fast about twenty dAses were sent uj, and last week the follow. ing are the numbers passed through the hospital each eel two cases; Tuesday, two cases; Wednesday, five cases; Thursday, five cases; Friday, seven cases, and Saturday, one case. None were seut Sunday or Seman ‘The victims were brought to the hospital (Bellevue) in the small- ox wagon of the Commissioners of Char- Ries and Correction under the order of Mr. George Kellock, Superintendent of Outdoor Poor, ‘The driver of the wagon, who has been employed for that duty for seven ye: Says he never has had so busy a fortnight during that time. On the arrival of the wagon at Bellevue the patient is taken out and iaced in a small house ‘ially for that purpose, jown by the river, and mM sent up to the Island soon after in charge of the nurse. Most of the cases were of people natives of Germany and Irejand, the Germans predominating. There were more men than women, about two-thirds being men, several children amot the number. The seven taken last Friday constituted a whole family—father, mother aad five children—living in Eighteenth street, between Seventh and Eighth avenues. Three were taken on Thursday from West Eighteenth street, be- tween Fighth and Ninth avenues. Two were taken from No. 111 Bast Eleventh street and two from No. 681 Eleventh avepne. With the exception of one woman, who was in @ very advanced stage of con- fiuent smallpox, the cases Were generally in the in- ciplent stages, a portion of them proving to be sim- | By. variolod. Four cases TF pes oh ie | ny the wagon, and the remainder of the | Ay ups were found one in @ place 1 over the city, There have been but w deaths, and all the cases now in the hospital are in a fair way of recovery.

AQUATIC. Single Scull Race Between Butler and Ran- dall for $500—Large Crowd ef Spectatere— An Exciting Race—Batler the Winuer. . Boston, May 31, 1909. ‘This afternoon the single scull race for a purse of $500, between T. OC. Butler, of Boston, and J, W. Ran- all, of Portiand, which had been on the ‘apis for some weeks and had awakened a good deal of in- terest among the boating fraternity of this section, took place on the Charles river course. An immense crowd of spectators gathered to witness the contest, most of whom assembled slong the sea wall of the milldam, while others posted themselves on the tops of sheds and other buildings in the neighborhood, whence a good view of the course could be obtained. Pools were sold at the boathouse of the Union Club during the emia the odds being two to one in farge latter Holds the championship of Maine, and in addition to his successes in his native State he last year won a0 important race at Troy, N.

At the upper stake, or when one-half the course had been gone over, Butler was @ length ahead, and the Boston men were greatly and pleas- ingly excived and the Portland backers of Randall wore correspondingly dejected. When col back on the homestretch it was apparent that Butler would keep his gain, and the betting suddenly changed in the odds offe1 but there were few takers. The cheering at this was loud and en- if and the excitement was most intense, husiastic and Butler came down about half a dozen lengths ahead in twenty-four minutes and twenty-two neg and defeat in good parts. A Rowing Match Between the Naval Scheel Crew and the Atalanta Boat Club. The Atalanta Boat Club, of New York, organized im 1847, and the oldest rowing club in American waters, have, it is understood, accepted the invita- tion of Vice Admiral Porter, in his recent capil letter on boating, wherein he expresses a desire test the midshipmen of the Naval School at Annapos lis with some “good boat club’ in a six-oared race of three miles, This will probably lead to one of the best and most excit races ever rowed, lation, and the ‘xaval School oarsmen are re- ported to be rowing exceedingly fast, WRESTLING A wrestling match for $500 came off yesterday afternoon, at Harry Hill’s, in Houston street, be- tween Homer Lane, of this city, and Harry Grace, of South Bergen, N. J. Mr. Ball was chosen umpire for Homer Lane, and John Grady for Grace, Harry Hill was selected for referee. The conditions were fair collar and elbow struggle, best two in three falls, At twenty minutes to four o’clock the men took bold, and, after a struggle of twelve minates, Homer got an outside lock and brought Grace on his knees, the latter dragging Homer Lane down with him, and they fell their fall lengths on the floor. They then suspended operations for five minutes, When they clinched again, Homer was offered at odds, there were no takers. Aiter a few moments Homer got an outside lock and brought Grace on his knees, bruising his flesh badly. Grace again Homer down with him. This was no fall, however, and they went at it again. After moving about fur an opening for a few minutes e succeeded in getting an outside lock, and this time he brougnt Grace fat on his back, thug winning the first fall. From the time of taking hok the fall thirty-five minutes elapsed. Fifteen —— were then Cg rem iheeieycaidiios e men came up blo uy . their want of condition and t the effects of Thelt struggles in the first clincu.

This jg Homer’ favorite hold. away with their feet for a miniite or Lane : crook - eee bart = on his n appeal was nm made umpires, and referee, but they all decided it was not a fair fall, and the men again took hold of each other. 3 wells | After a few passes with the feet Grace got an insid lock on Lane, but the latter got out of It and received marked applause from the lookers on. The men then stopped a few moments for Grace t change his coat, the one he had on being pretty well torn from his back, When ~ commenced opera: tions it was not long before Homer got an inside lock and threw Grace fairly on the broad of his thus winning the match. The affair lasted one hour from the time of, first taking hold to finish. They were turee minutes and a half in last struggle. Grace was on the defensive through. out, seldom making play, while Homer Lane seemed to make ail the playful advances n and ap- peared perfectly at his ease. There has siderable speciation as to the relative merits of these men as wrestlers heretofore, which may now be set aside, and Homer Lane be oynsidered tie champton, CENTGAL PARK CARRIAGE SEAVICE.
