The attempted disruptlea ol the QraLd Army of the Kepublio has dashed In the pan and the danger la •ver. Tbe veterans who have clang togetbor through battle and through peace will hold tbeir raaks unbroken till death olaims the last man. It was just a small mistake. Adju­ tant Gen. Koontz did not lotead to withdraw from the Q. A. ft, and form a new Urand Army of his own, bat ho just wisbed to form a Democratic Urand Army Club. We are so thank­ ful tbe strain is lifted.

Whether tbe general pension laws will be re-mod­ eled. according to tbe reoommendatioe of Grorer, is a matter yet lor the fu­ ture to deyelope. > Beaten by a Dead Tank**. . Wben General MeClellan was before Richmond and gr«at bavoc bed boon made in bis right wing by General Jackfton's forces, another battalion of Confederates came up, in the rear, one soldier, a oountryjmao, noticed upon tbe feet of a dead Union soldier a very fine pair of shoes. It occurred to blm that he would like amazingly well to exchange bis own strong cowhide shoes for tbe finely fitting ones of the dead man. Facetiously observing. Old tellow, I don't reckon you'i mind tbe exchange," be transferred them to his own leet. i be marob continued, sod before long the soles of the shoes began to drop off, and tbe Confederate soldier upon lifting them up, found to bis dismay ttat they wore made of pasteboard. One *f bis comrades exolaimed, Well, if you let a dead Tankee cheat you like that, what In all creation would a live one do with you." The Reason Why. . It is disheartening to any one who has tbe good of tbe Grand Army of the Republic at heart, to observe that bere and there a post becomes disheart eoed throws up its charter. We have studied i^to the reason of this with much interest, and present one or two that seems to us fatal and at the same (isae remediable, Tbe main cause of suspensions In most. If not all posts la non-payment of does. Ui.der the ralee end regu­ lations a member six months in ar­ rears is not entitled to a vote in the post and if one year behind he must be auapended. The oemmander ia left no diecretion ta the matter. The laofttffe it clear and explicit. And se It hap­ pens, that through^ carelessness, thoughtlessness and sometimes wilfull negleet one member after another stands suspended on tbe rolls, and in w*ak posts it Is not long before the required ten members to keep op the organization are net l*ft. Of course if tbe membership were so disposed, e remission of the dnea of these delinquents might be voted and their standing k*pt good In that way; but those who have prompt lv paid and kept out of arreara, wl!l seldom feel disposed to donate to com­ rades who are just as able to pay any, and quite often more so. Every poet has a creator or less number of members wh& are really too poor to pay dues, and w> think In ill posts the dues of such members has b«en habitual!? remitted. That Is no more than just for no old soldier should be deprived of the benefits of a membership in the Grand Army of the Repubile because of his poverty; nor should the same cause deprive his widow and orphan ohildren of that aid and support whloh the good standing of the husband and father In the order makes their due. But the greater part of those lus- pended for the non-payment of dues are amply able to keep up the pittance of 60 oents per quarter which is all that most posts impose. One of the wealth­ iest men in McHenry county, a mem­ ber of Richmond post, whos* charter was surrendered for reasons abov* re­ cited, never vlalted the post dor paid any dues. The quartermaster has al­ ways been prompt to notify members of their arrearages, so that no on* could plaad Ignorance as an excuse for • their non-payment end their subse­ quent suspension. * ' The blstory of Richmond postjls tbe history of nine-tenths of the posts tbst surrender their charters. To remedy these evils and keep the organization intact should have en­ gaged the attention of the National Encampment years ago, for they have ever been present from the first found­ ing of the order. Some changes in tbe rules and regulations ought to be de­ vised to remedy tbe fatal end. Unless it is done the order is bound to slowly disintegrate end rail to pieces. In oar vexation at theatate of aflaTrs we might urge that a men who doss net have Interest enough in bis post to keep up bis du*s does not deserve tw be so honored as to have bis name en­ rolled In that glorious organization which binds together in fraternal bonds three uundred thousand ol tae most intelligent and most patrlotle 01 the saviours of the union. But tbe same spirit would lead the missionary te abandon tbe heathen to his eanul- balism and his idols, aod the preacher (if tbe Gospel to let a alnlul world march stright on unwarned in tbe road to moral ruin. We must take men as we find them, and those who happen to be more intelligent mod more ener­ getic than their weaker brethren and comrades, should assume tbs leader­ ship end adapt the circumstances to the case. The question Is a pressing and a present oue--can the National En­ campment original* any obangea la the laws and rules governing the or­ der, that will prevant the too frequent disorganization of posts? We present this matter to:the attention of the lead ers of tbe G. •. R. for tbeir earnest consideration. [We heartily endorse every word of the above which we take pleasure in reproducing In full, end which we found In a recent issue ef the Rich mond Gazette, from that prince ol writers, Comrade S. F. Bennett. Com rades read it j every word is tru* and timaly spoken. Ed. Soldies's Depart­ ment,] Tha Union Soldier. The ex-Union soldiers and the sens •f tbe soldier are able to wield a tre mendous power in the nation j>olltl- cally. We do not pretend to say that tbey are a majority ol the legal vo­ ters of the states that did not go into the rebellion, but we do say that they are a respectable minority, and there is no doubt that they hold tbe balance of power, as between the two great political parties of tbis,cbuntry* ' As time rolls 00 ?e*r after year, the men who wore the bine and stood shoulder to shoulder during the dark days ef tho rebellion, are oomlug closer and closer together, and to-day they are standing on the same plat­ form demanding at the bands ef tbe government, equal and exact justice to tbe men wbo took their lives in their bands and went forth to battle for the unity of thestetds, and the security of the flag. The union soldier may differ widely en many points. Tbey differ In their religious beliefs {differ in tbe finan­ cial policies of tLe country; differ In their politioal opinions, But wben it comes to their loyalty to country and flag, they are all on tbe same platform No man who wore tbe blue and done bis whole duty In putting down tuo rebelled, will ever, with out his pro­ test, hear his country assailed, or re­ main unconcerned when an Insult Is offered to the flag of our country. The ex-Union soldier, to day, stands as a unite in reference to these important potnta, An4 the aoldien are a nelt, too In demanding the enactment just and equitable pension laws, tfe will mete out exact justice to ail wore the bine. The time Is also fa*t appr when tbe men who saved this < will stand without regard te fort political affiliations, fttkr the as party that will de justice dler of '61 to '65. Ife j saved this country are and closer together and far distant, when they « the justice o( themselves. an<£ :JS# widows and orphans of tbeir liMh rades ln-arms, as they stood lr<M to '6S In one solid phalanx fer ^ vatlon of the country. Ail minor ferenoos are giving away, and the old veterans are growing closer closer together as tbe years roll'a and the Grand Army of tbe is tbe grandest organization on fane of tke earth. It || the only ganlzatlon in exlsteaee, whose atlon stone r*sts upon loyaltj^ flag and country. The only tlon that will not admit a member its ranks wbo Is not loyal to bis cot try, No man on whom the tH|lt treason rests, can become a mail of the G. A. R. Only those can whose unsullied record of a life proves them the deadly eafefty of treason. If the affairs of this oenntrjK are administered by Grand Ar»f m&i the constitution and tbe laws, tb^ country and tbe flag, will be safe In their bands, we care not by what party name they are known, because the members of the Grand Army are all loyal. " fk» a*as stTiwna p.. The Sons of Veterans are cogMa|||o the front in good shape. They #* young men just coming upon the stage of action. Tbey have read the lrine!? of the rebellion, and have heard tfce stories their fathers have told, and from their earliest recollection to the present, tbey have been taught the lessons of patriotism from those who know what it cost to proscrva the Union and the flag. Aid we find those sons 01 patriotic sires, ready and wil­ ling to defend the union of states, aud to protect from i destruction, the flag of our wl|A their Mvea. -Xhe^Uaton flag will jalways be ssfe Iiauds. Their order is growing and th* les­ sons *f tru* patriotism, by it are be? log taught to tbe young men of tb* Nation so that when tbe responsibili­ ties of the government fall upon their shoulders, there will be no need of any anxiety about the perpetuity of tho Union. Their oountry and the flag have seemed to grow up with them, until tbey seem to be a part of tbelt very existence. We hope to see the dons of Veterans grow and prosper until the whole land is*t«lled with tiit^ sentlmenst they express, and the. pa­ triotism tbey profsss. Tbe motto an& watchword of the boys Is "Loyalty to oountry and flag." And no mss emt belong to th* order, who is not loyal to th* principles for which his father, fought, and fer which many ef them died. Go oh boys and fUl the wholt land wHh loyalty.
