to welcome the visitors. Hon. B. F. Smith,
of Illinois, was orator of the day, and de
livered a speecn eniogisuc ot oom
Federal and Confederate dead. He con
eluded as follows: "As thequlet, steady
flowing current of the beautiful Tennessee
which perpetually Dawes me leetoi ice

down from the uplands of the South to Join
its waters wita that of the great rivers ot
the North, so may the current of the
patriotic love of country come from
tbe Southland and Join others from
other parts ot the country tin all
are embraced in one sentiment of love
and respect for the Inseparable union of
States." General T. Lyle Dickey, Judge
of tbe Supreme Court of Illinois, spoke of
the motives that animated the parties to the
contest and the substantial benefits that re
sulted to the South, even from the fire
through which she had passed and the ter
rible experience always realized by the peo
ple ot a soil where armed hosts come to
gether to prove the earnestness of their con
victions by appealing to arms. He said
that from the

that had become a political necessity the
South had suffered greatly, it was true, bet
was recuperating so fast that within the
next decade she would be far more prosper
ous than before the war. He then related
some personal experiences of the battle and
interesting particulars regarding General
Lew Wallace and his command. He spoke
of the great sdf -sacrifices of the soldiers
of the North, and said tbe Union had been
cemented together by their blood. The
entire audience, which by this time had
been largely augajented by people from
across the river and the neighborhood, then
sang "Nearer my God to Tbee." the band

"Gibson says you got S150 a day."

"How many men did you coavIctJ"

"Only two."
"Were they punished?' '
"No, sir."
"Did you collect any money for the
Government?"
"No, sir; I have not gone Into the In

"Would you charge for Sunday?" Mr.
Springer Inquired.
"I think my bills will show that I
charged for Sunday. I know I worked
on Sundays."
"That Is probably why you did not
succeed?" said Mr. Springer.
"Whose fault do you think It was that
there was no conviction," asked. Mr.
Fyan.
"I think It was the fault of the jury,"
Continuing Mr. Bliss add: "I say dis
tinctly I never charged more than 9100 a
day, except possibly when the trial wa

9100. Herman B. Eaton said to me the
