—_————_____— RHE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. id have the reader infer that I rep- you woul: nted General Von Steinwehr as executing the im- work of tortify agen a: 4 Hill on his own tand responsibility and that I ignored = im the matter. Now, what are the facts? I will ‘my exact language, ‘The first sentonce of the mw Ltroat of this subject is this:— it there was one labor which was being executed at time under the direction of General which of vital importance ie ia final ce oe Be metery Hil penta ori, Pty came up he left one vision under General Alexander Von Steinwehr upon ml with directions to have it posted most advan- ly to hold the position and to cover retiring » Then I go on to describe how your order was out, and say, “Von Steinwebr was an accom- ed sol ” &o, Isnot this fair acknowledgment your authority and direction in the mattér, and ts 9 impression you seek to convey to the reader in the manly criticism? On ago 78 { say :—‘‘Schemmelinnig, too, while at- ing to stay his troops and hold them up to tho ight, was taken prisoner; but subsequently managed escape and rejoined his command.” Upon this you omment as follows :—“Schemmelinnig was not taken rigoner, Having accidentally separated from his ‘oops in the town, he hid himself among some piles of and als eine us after the tight was over." yneral Schemmelinnig 1s dead, abd it is an unfortu- circumstance that your principal matters of con- roversy pertain to men who are no more, But during ithe whole war General Schemmeltinuig bore himself as gallant officer, In the final campaign before Charies- n he is represented as having conducted the opera- ns with ‘ability and skill, At Gettysburg he aufully led bis division out upon the most exposed of the whole line and held bis position there res- ‘Olucoly, under a terrific fire of artillery and infantry— enough to make the stoutest quaii—and until crushed by vastly supertor numbers of the enemy. In the | wh he was surrounded and, according to your own | mowing, was in Une onemy’s lines, and hence a pris- ‘ou say, “I never mean to detract from an- jother’s fair famo,"? Well, then, it ill becomes you, jwho was 4 Major General, the commander of a corps, bana who assumed to support the mantle of the gallant ynoids on that day, to go so far out of your way to or to cast a stigma upon the name of General hem meltinaig, { On page 81 | say>—‘As the two broken corps of the Wuion army ascended Cemetery Hill they were met by ofiieera, who turned the Eleventh corps to the t, and the First corps to the left, where they wont nto position along the summit of the ridge, stretching ‘out on either hand from the Baltimore Pike.’ Your ‘criticism is this:—‘The two corps were met by my iatatt officers.” I had said ‘‘by staff oilicers,’’ leaving ino {mplication but that they were your staff officers (But as you have raised the question | will here state that in tho summer of 1866 I happened to be going up | ithe Baltimore Pike, and, when just outside the town of IGettysburg and before reaching the Cemetery gato, I met Major Harry T. Lee, who pomted out to me tho ddenticai spot where on the afternoon of that terrible day he sat upon his horse and directed the Eleventh Jcorps men to go upon the one side and the First to the volher, And who was Major Lee? Was he a staff jotticer of yours? No, he was of the staifof General Donbieday, the commander of the First corps, “I ‘ould not take from another's fair record, and it surely #ptings from envy when ganeeinnreiers attempt to rob me oi mine, With res; remain, ‘ Pee tO, 0. HOWARD.” Finally on page 88 I said: —‘Tt seems that Howard at ® council of corps commanders, held.at Chancellors- ville, just before tho army rotired across the river, vote to remain and fight, giving as a reason that the misconduct of his corps forced him always to vote Wor assauiting, whether it wag the best thing to be done or not Your comment upon this is as fol- glows:—“‘The remark imputed to me is untrue I ‘voted to fight, and so did every general officer then, ‘except General Sickles. He opposed for political easons, as Le stated.’’ Now for the evidence;—Tho Peoords ‘show that General Couch di pot vote to fight, ‘General Slocam was not presont, heither was Gencral ancock present, nor, of course, General Sedgwick, who, swith by (ar the largest corps in the whole army, was al- FROM EIGHTH PAGE.) ready across. General Meade op; recrossing, because ‘he feared that the enemy would attack and would not allow the movement to be executed. The inference one would draw from your allusion to General Sickles does that officer great injustice. The following extract from Generali Hancock's testimony sets that matter in its true light. He says, when questioned about General Sickles’ testimony:—I heard that the question of ‘Washington was urged, as to what effect it would have ‘upon tho country should it fall in consequence of our Persisting in that operation. It was thought that, | ‘aside from military reasons, it would have a bad effect ‘upon the future of the country should we persist in the fightand be beaten so badly that Washington should fail in consequence; whereas if we recrossed the river ‘we would be enabled to prevent apy such result. 1 vermed ‘them political reasons in that respect only from the @ifect the fall of Washington would produce in our | try aa wellas Europe. It was notin reference at vall to Purtisan polities, but merely as to the general ipotior and. pifect npn ‘the country.” It appears, there. | fore, that Gengral Sickles, instead of being uctuated by a low partisan as would be inferred from ur unqualified statameyt was moved by a -Bigh sense of public ty id patriotism, But all this is,immaterial, omly as showing peo pieteness and inaccuracy of your statement. NoW, to the testimony of your own vote, on page 78, vol. I.,on “The Conduct of the War for 1865," General | Butterfield, Chiot of Staif to General Hooker, Com- ™mander-in-Chief of the Army of the Potomac, is re- corded as testifying as follows;—“Geueral Howard | was in favor of moving out and attacking the enemy. | Ho remarked that he felt as though the army was in its | Present position by the disaster to his corps, and under | any and all circumstances he should favor an attack, I may say that everybody considered that General | eward would favor an attack under any circum- Btances in consequence of some aspersious that had *Deon cast upon his command, the Eleventh corps—he | dosired to retrieve their reputation.” My statement | bove, which you pronounce untrue, was founded upon 18 testimony, and I will leave it to the candid reader to judge whother it 18 or is not a fair statement of the matter herein contained, It is the business of a chief ‘of staft to keep aecurate minutes of councils of war, | sand it ts presumed that his testimony was correct. } T bave now considered all the material points of | your letter, and have adduced tho evidence upon | ‘which the ‘statements in my book rest which you question. I cannot yet see any reason to change or modify any of them. On the contrary, my coniidence | fim thoir accuracy is confirmed. That you endeavored to do your duty at Gettysburg according to your ability [have no doubt; and if I have not given you so much -rodit (n gaining the victory as you deem you are en- Aitled to it was because a carefal consideration of all ‘the evidence did not warrant me in awarding more, Respectfully yours, SAMUEL P.

Every one was Toud jo bis denunciation of the defective system of drainage and the poor ventilation in dwellings. Dr. Haddeu, speaking on this puint, said:—‘Just look at the location of our Charity Hospital at the foot of Wash- Angton street, which is intended as a receptacle for the @ick poor. Under its floor sweep the scourings and filth of numerous sewers as they empty into the Cove. round it is an atmosphere of peisonous gases, the in- alation of wuich must prove fatal to patients suffering from certain diseases, This accounts for the large per- Contage of deaths among the patients admitted to that Institution, which I should term a repository of death, Dr. Lochner ts preparing a paper on a new system of ‘Ventilation, to be read before the Board of Health. ‘The city physicians of the several districts report an alarming provalence of diphtheria among children anda | Rarge record of throat diseases among adults, .& FAMILY ALMOST EXTINCT FROM ITS RAVAGES, Mi.rorp, Pa., Dec, 26, 1875.

Lake Shore and Its Friends—Rumors Con- cerning Western Union—Prices Heavy and Investors Standing Off. MONEY AND GOLD. Wace Srrxer, Sunpay, Dec. 26, 1875, A double holiday, when all Christendom has struck work and the money marts of the world are closed to the seductive influences of barter and sale, renders the money article of a daily journal a simple expression of generalities, Looking upon the past week’s stock market as a fleld of battle, where contending interests have come in contact—the one side struggling for an ad- vance in prices, the other for a fall—an impartial judge would have proclaimed it a Cadmean victory. Acorpo- Tai’s guard could have borne off the spoils. It was a case of tweedledum and twoedledee, Bears rampant yester- day and couchant to-day, and bulls alternating with their opponents, either led to the slaughter or raging with heads and tails in the air, threatening slaughter and carnage. In a word, the stock market swung to and fro, its pendulum of prices hanging at the end of the work-a-day week nearly perpendicular, Of course, says the neophyte, this oscillation in the values of the country’s great corporations must be due tosome social, financial or commercial reasons only understood and appreciated by the initiated. There must be wars or rumors of wars of which I have not hoard, or the great question of a return to specie payments has been solved by somo Western cor- ner grocery man, who, as a member of Congress, has satisfactorily figured the whole matter out from the contents of bis till, ten cent stamps representing legal tenders and five cent nickels the redeeming medium. But, indeed, there have been no such good reasons | for the aboye Tho capital stocks of railroads and corporal institutions have varied hundreds of thou- sapés of dollars in market price from day to day, not ‘because they were intrinsically more or less valuablo, but because a few men, by dint of money power, reck- leasness or fraud, have rigged prices to suit their own purposes, And yet, with a knowledge of tnese facts, with the certainty that to the gambling speculator a fairer and more inviting game can be had in two-thirds of the city hella, legitimate, honest stock commis- sion brokers wonder why it is that their occupation is gone and that the ‘public’—the merchant and com- mercial class and the idle men of means—so studiously keep aloof from Wall strect. In fact, all the fools (who, according to the adage, should be alive and wide awake) seem to have shuffled off this mortal coil, or, at least, they have lost the necessary vitality to carry them into Stock Exchange circles, The place that bas known them knows them no more, and the void thus created is an aching one, indeed. When the Stock Exchange shall become purified from this sheer gambling element; when {t shall have freed itsel! from the blandishments of professional touts and | the chicanery of professional sharpers the more respect- able portion of the community may again visit its pre- cincts and trast their ventures to tho result of genuine, bonest speculation. Tue srruaTiON, ‘The commercial situation during the past week pre- sented no features differing from those of its predeces- sors, Stagnation and drooping prices continue to at- tend the market for general merchandise. The pro- duction of many descriptions of manufactured goods is again being curtailed, while there is another re- duction in wages of all kinds. Accounts from Western cities report an active demand for money from the in- terior—not for the purpose of moving the crops, but to enable both producers and middlemen to lock them up and sustain prices, Unfortunately for the general good the condition of the Western money market ts such that these country gentlemen find no difficulty in either renewing their maturing paper or obtaining ad- ditional loans at from 8 to 12 percent. This is the kind of “liquidation” which has been in practice for the past two years, and to many has proved A LINGERING DEATH, For months past the Hmgaup has pointed out the in- evitable result of this holding back policy and at- tempted to show that, as there were no such short crops in Europe as alleged, {f we did not promptly move forward our own we should find, when too late, that Great Britain was supplied from other sources, We have held ours for higher prices, and the result is that we have in sight east of the Miasissippt River nearly 18,000,000 bushels of wheat for which there is now practically no market, while Great Britain has tn store and afloat a like quantity. Will gentlemen of the “Ways and Means” and of the ‘Banking and Currency” committees study these facts, so as to fully comprehend just how much of this result is due to cheap and ‘‘non- exportable” money? THK STOCK MARKT. The week on the Stock Exchange has been dull, with a downward tendency in prices. One week ago we in- timated the probability of there being a change of en- gineers in charge of the machine. The character of the manipulattons since then would seem to confirm that theory, At all events, the persons who before were prominent movers have retired, and the wires are now pulled from bebind a screen by an invisible hand. Lake Shore, of the railroad shares, has commanded the most attention, The game in this stock has continued w be played without any change other than the substi- tuting of loud talking for the previous large buy- ing. The opening price was 61%, trom which it steadily declined until «it sold at 68 on Wednesday, Thursday morning there ap- peared a circular from Charles Barrett, intended asa ‘‘bull” shot, but as it contained nothing but ex- tracts from the reports of the company—the figures on which the stock was “‘bulled”’ at 96 in 1873—it was spent when the price reached 59. The failure of a young, active and risky speculator who had the day before sold some 5,000 shares ‘‘short’’ proved to be a much more effective power than Mr, Barrett's sham, for it carried the price to 59% in the necessitated buytng of the stock which he had failed to deliver, From this it dropped to 5849, although rallied atthe close to 59%. of Mr, Barrett's figures there is nothing to say except that they are not his, but the company’s, and old at that, Butsome of his remarks are worthy of a passing | comment. He says:—Their track, road bed, iron | and stone bridges and buildings are equal in condition to any im the country; their terminal facil- ities at Baffalo and Chicago are ample; their equipment {8 very Jarge and in good condition.” Now, the document shows that the letter of request to ‘examine and report’ was dated at Syracuse, December 8, and Mr. Barrett’s reply is dated at Boston, the 16th inst.; yet we are to inter from the foregoing extract that in this brief space of time Mr. Barrett accomplished whatan “expert” in railroad construction would require a full month to per- | form on @ road of 992 miles, Again, he says:—''The charges against net earnings, which take precedence of dividends, it is stated in the report of 1874, page 12, will not exceed for the year 1875 $2,850,000,"". This is a correct quotation from the President's introductory re- marks, but if Mr. Barrett had carefully examined even the reports of the company he would have , discovered, on page 21 of same report, a de tailed etatement, showing that those charges amount to nearly $3,000,000, exclasive of the amount | due to the sinking fund, This little aiecrepancy be- | tween the President's “general remarks’ and the do- tailed facts had been so often pointed out as to create wonder that Mr. Barrett should have stipped upon any- thing 60 “‘sof." We hoped that Mr, Barrett woula deny the autbenticity of the document, PACIFIO MAIL AND UNION PACIFIC, the two special pets of the “sick man,” have dragged along @ weary existence within narrow fluctuations, closing the week with a fractional decline, Western HERALD, MONDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1875—WITH SUPPLEMENT. on, gradually declined to 71%, ex dividend of 2 per cont; Unsing at 712i, Concerning this stock there seem tg be some mystery aa yet andeveloped, That astoomwhich pays eight per cent dividends, and which the matrement asserts has 4 surplus of carnings remaining, should Rive 39 steadily declined from what should not be consideres4 high Price, passes the comprehension of the average Invesivs and the fact itself probably adds to the distrust, Among the rumors assigned for the decline are those before re- ferred to, that the company was to lose tho use of the Baltimore and Ohio and the Pennsylvania Railroad the Ist of January named as the day on which the wires would be transferred to the Atlantic and Pacific Com- pany. It was also stated that with the change tho charges to all points. The remainder of the list calls for no special comment, if we except North- west, which has been conspicuous for its total want of life. The clique in this stock seems to havea hard time. No one willeither buy or sell it; conse- quently the possession of a large portion of the com- mon stock of the road which earns gross only about $15,000,000 and is represented first, by about $43,000,000 of bonds and, secona, by $21,435,653 of preferred stock, may be considered as quite a large sized white ciephant, We hear that another favor- able story is soon to be put forth concerning this prop- erty, but the trouble is, the common stock is so far “away’’ that it never feels the effects of any of these “good things.”” MIGHEST AND LOWEST PRICES OF THK WEEK, The following table shows the extreme tluctuations for the week in the leading shares ;— Highest, 10434 Lowest.

Money on call during the week steadily became more active and stringent, Rates advanced to 1-32 and interest, only being relieved on the tast day of the week through the effect of borrowed sterling. The continued loss of legal tenders by the associated banks, the domestic exchanges having for some timo ruled against this centre, following close upon the actual con- traction which has occurred during the year, points to natural influences as the cause, aud not to manipula- tion, It is undoubtedly true that some distrust of the Speculative situation has to a degree aggravated the stringency by a withdrawal of funds usually loaned upon stocks which quite likely may be returned after any general liquidation has been effected. Mercantile paper still passes at 7a8 per cent for Al, with but little sale for any other description. Sterling exchange has ruled firm, the rates advancing clined to 4,85 and 4.89 under tho offering of bills which had been borrowed on pledge of stock col- laterals. ‘THK SITUATION aT CHICAGO is described as follows:—‘*The combined demand from the country and the packers for loans makes the market firm and rates strong, though not hard. The combi- nation to hold back wheat and stock from market re- mains unbroken, and its financial effects here ure acen in the large volume of loans apphed for on coun- try account. Loans made thirty and sixty aays ago are renewed when they fall duc, instead of being paid, and the greatest share of the daily discount operations of the banks is with their country correspondents, The packers are making their paper in gradually increasing quantities, It is regarded as choice and taken by the banks at favorable rates, The mercantile demand is light; small accommodations are sought for to make annual settlements, and to muke good the failure of col- lections, which have been somewhat impeded by the weather and the condition of the country roads, Man, ufacturers and railroad paper is also in the market, the latter for the purchase of supplies, but it is not in large amounts. Rates of discount are 8a 10 per centat the banks to regular customers, There is very little sur- plus at the command of independent borrowers, but those who have good security can get inside rates for short loans. The orders from the country for currency ’ were larger." THE GOLD SPROULATION during the week slowed no unusual features, The price steadily declined from 113% to 112%, but at the close rallied to 113 a 118%. Cash gold has been generally heavy, and as high as 7 per cent was paid to have it carried. It is rumored that an upward movement will occur at no distant day as the result of buying by a new pool who believe that the price will not decline below 1235, and that the nearer we ap- proach specie resumption the dearer gold must be- | come. GOVERNMENT AND RAILWAY BONDS. The former were weak toward the close of the week. This result was doubtless due to a decreased demand on The*final dealings, however, showed a slight reaction. Railroad bonds were less active in the late business, with an advance in some cases® and a decline in others. State bonds were heavy for Tennessees, which declined | 23¢ a 344 per cent on the reported intention of the State to default on its January payments, South Carolina consols, however, were an exception to the rule, and could not be had in considerable lots without mate- to the recent conservative action of Governor Chamber- lain, the support which the commercial and banking in- terests are giving him and to the action of the Legisia, ture in levying a tax for the payment of pending obii- gations, HAVANA MARKETS.

Hearsey, who had been known for many years to her neighbors as Eliza Hall, died at No. 40 Charlton street, ‘an estate valued at $100,000. Soon after her death a paper was propounded as her last will and testament tn the Surrogate’s office. By it the deceased left her house and furniture to Eliza and Harriet Loveridge, daughters of James and Elizabeth Loveridge, and the | residue of her estate to Mary Elizabeth Noyes, of Har- rison square, Boston, who was the daughter of a cousin, She named as executors James Loveridge, father of the first named legatees, and Coolidge Bar- nard, an inumate frie of Mrs, Noyes, mother of the residuary legatee. 1! validity of this document was contested by the Childr ‘Aid Society and by St. Luke's Home for Indigent F | males, both of which institutions were legatees under @ former will, They charged the Loveridge family with forgery, conspiracy and fraud, and alleged that the deceased was not of sound mind when the last will was made, The arguments of counsel and the taking of evidence lasted tor several months, and the case was then left with Surrogate Hutchings, who reserved his decision. Upon the ist of June last the Hxraip pub- lished the full story of the suit up to that date, Afier | careful examination of the papers and the evidence the Surrogate has given a Jecision which reviews the facts of the case, analyzes the relation of the decedent | to the parties mentioned in the various wills—of which | no less than four were executed prior Lo the one offered for probate—and concludes as follows :— “I must say there is no evidence in the case, in my | opinion, justifying the allegation of undue influence having been exerted upon the mind of the decedent by Miss Noyes and members of the Loveridge family. There is a distinction always to be made, and which is seldom made by counsel, between influence and undue influence, I cannot express this distinction better | than by quoting the language of the Court of Appeals | in the case of Seguine vs. Seguine, & Keyes, 667 to 671, | as follows: Undue tofluence must be an influence exercised by co- ereion, imposition or frand, and not such as arises from gratitude, affection or esteem, and its exertion upon th Yery act must be proved. It will not be inferred from oppor- tunity or interest, Also:— Neither device, nor argument, nor persuasion, nor ascend ancy gained by affection, nor influence, nor importunity can rect @ will made froely and without coercion or fraud. (hedtield un Wills, 524; Monger Willy Phil. BR. R., 206, 495.) | “These principles of law, as to the allegation of undue influence, apply, im my judgment, most pertinently to the features of this case. The kind services extended by the members of the Loveridge family to this aged and childless woman undoubtedly influenced the be- quests she made to them. such & practical recognition of their kindness and that of their parents; indeed, their conduct may have been influenced by sach expectation. But those acts of by any of the beneficiaries, and in the absence of those the instrument camnot be avoided by reason of any- thing shown in the acts and conduct of the Loveridges influencing the mind of the decedent to provide for them in her will, In respect to Mise Noyes, she was @ proper and natural object for the bounty of the decedent Thererore, in view of the reasons stated, I feel bound to bold that all the allegations as the basis of the objection | interposed by the contestants have been entirely un- sustained, and I must decree the admission to probate of the paper propounded.” THE OENTBAL PARK SAVINGS BANK, A farther meeting of the depositors of the Central Park Savings Bank was held yoetorday at Germania Rall, Third avenue, to consider what action should be taken against the trustees, After a long discussion it was agreed that # lawyer should be engaged to pros- ecute the President of the bank, Thomas Gearty, it being considered that the best portion of the depositors’ money bad gone into his pockets, Jt was diso under- stood that some of the oid trustees had given indi- | vidual bonds to make up any aeficiency, | and that since the suspension of the bank | they bad been withdrawn from the bank.

A regular reunion of old sports took place on Christ- Mas night. A real old fashioned cock fight was the event which brought them together. About 100 were present, New York, Brooklyn and Aibany coustituting the out- siders on Jersey soil, The main consisted of eleven battles for $400 on the main, and $20 a battle. Every Precaution was used to allow only the “solid and true” to be present, For over three weeks the cocks have been in training, and a better selection never donned a pair of gas. Iu order to gard against the interter- nce of the authorities, the naming of the spot was not made known until the party were ready to start for the night’s sport. About forty from this side of the river assembled in Hoboken about nine o'clock on Curistmas night and soon all were traveling over the Jersey Heights to an adjoining county. At avery cosey little public house all were quietly landed, among thom several gentlemen of Hudson and Bergen counties. Among tue former was &@ member of the Cruelty to Animuls Association, but he proved to be one of the heaviest betters around the pit.

SUICIDES AT WAVERLY, Yesterday morning, while two young men were hunt- N. J. as the Cove, in the rear of the Waverly fair grounds, at Waverly, N. J., they came upon the body of a man, lying face downward and supported by the reeds, which grow very thickly along the bank of the creck. They returned at once to Newark and notified Coroner Osborne, who went with them to the spot. Upon turn- ing the body over it was noticed that the deceased’s throat bad been cut upon the left side, severing the carotid artery and the jugular vetn, From the appear- ance of the wound, the incision having been mado by a downward stroke from left to right, the Coroner is of the opinion that the wound was self-inflicted, and that the suicide had | shut up the kpifo and returned it to his pocket after committing the deed. In his pockets were found some pieces of string, aknife and somo keys. There was also a piece of an envelope, from which the name had been torn, but the address, “No. — Belmont avenue, Newark, N. J.,’” could still be read. The number of the residence in Belmont avenuo was also torn oat, ap- parently as if by design, ‘The letter was post marked ‘Tennessee, but the name of the town had been torn off, Deceased was apparently between fifty and sixty years of age, and was poorly, though comfortably, clad; he was fa large man and had been recently shaved.

In his pocket was also found a postal card addressed to a prominent Newark minister ing attextion to a ‘grand raily of the Newark Sun- day School Association, aS Paul’s church, Monday evening, October 18, 1875.” ‘Yesterday afternoon a tramp, named Edward MoWil- | liams, was walking along the railroad track toward On the 8th of February of the present year Kliza Elizabeth, and when about 200 yards from Waverly station saw the body of a man in the underbrash near the track.

It appears that this gentleman indulged so freely in apir- ituous liquors that ne had arrived at a state of chronic delirium tremens. himself rataer worse than usual, he lay down on his bed, and while there one of his friends, M, Boucq, en- tered the room and asked him to lend hima fishing net. “With the greatest pleasure,” replied Brandy, getting upto show his visitor where the net was. But as Boucg advanced toward him Brandy, making a somewhat grim jest, drew a revolver and, saying, “Here 1s a preity pockethaudkerchief,” shot his visitor, At the trial several of the witnesses said they thought that Brandy was a madinan, and a midwife stated that he had accused her of changing bis child from a boy into a gir. Boueq, who seems a man of charitable disposi- tion, said that Brandy had been and was stil! one of his | best friends, and that he wisbed him no harm, The Court, however, determined to maxe Brandy's case a warning to drunkards, and he was condemned to two years’ imprisonment.
