Fourth. The presumption is very patent to me and any fair minded person that there was no dis: y arising ()rum this person's discharge in 1853, on the contrary it was at the expiration of his term of service and there were certainly no obstacles to his volun- ng, as he enlisted again in the regular service in 1876, “after all danger had been passed.” The person that I am now speak- ing of is a member of Encampment No. 121, and I distinetly state that, in no sense of the word, is he eligable for membership, as the on made in the case on the appli- for the two-year heroes who vol- in the time of danger to the be- and stripes, and not for men who enlisted in the regular service in 1858, and who were compelled to remain until the ex- piration of their term of service in 1863, and then gave their coun the cold shoulder until the danger line was passed. 1 will also state for the information of the gentleman that 1 am eligable for member- ship, having enlisted May 12, 1861, as a vol- unteer, and discharged September 28, 186 and immediately volunteered again in Octo- ber, 1863, and mustered ouv in 1865, and I think the gentleman is very inconsistent in his remarks in stating that no short termers, drafted men, substitutes, bounty jumpers, or deserters, can become members, when such a case as I have stated is a member of his organization, Hoping to hear a reply and a most satis- factory one, before 1 join his organization, ry respectfully, VoLu ECHOES FROM THE ANTE ROOM Doings of the Week in the Lodge Rooms of the Oity.

A communication in Thursday's Evexixa Bee, speaking of the Union Veteran legion and its objects and time of the meeting, has aroused an antagonistic feeling in the breasts of some of the veterans and members of other organizations.
