Judge Noah Davis was called upon to preside. Mfr. Douglas Campbell opened the meeting. Its object, he said, was to make known the condition of a large number of the brave men that New York so generously turnished in the war of the rebel- lion, Tho reason of their destitute condition arose from the ignorance of the public in regard to it, The meeting Was to dispel this ignorance and make an ap. peal for aid.

He appealed to the patriotusm of those Whose exemption trom the cajamities of disunion. is so largely due to the men who fought for the Union “Noarly three vears ago,’’ he continued, “Ll au. nounced at a public meeting in thia city that the couny debt of the State, amounting to $20,000,000, was pro- vided for and would be paid at ite maturity in 1877, and that the remaining indebtedness ot the State, exclusive Admiral Rowan, of sinking junds, would Hot exceed $8,000,000, This statement of our sadebtedness confirmed by Mr, Olcott in reply to the State Comptrolicr, In this satisfactory condition of our fiuances 1do not entertain the slightest doubt that when tho Soldiers’ Home 13 completed by the voluatary coutrl+ butions of the citizens of the State, the represoata- tives of the people will not hesitate to assume the cost of its maiptenauec.”? ‘The Rev. Dr. Alger then made an appeal for aid, saying that those who stood behing during the groat Struggle ought now to come to the trout. ‘A LARGE SUBSCRIPTION TAKEN, Judge Davis here announced that he had just ree ceived a communication trom Lester Walluck and Messrs.
