CLERGYMAN OONYIOTED.
In the criminal court, at Boston, Mass.,
before Judge Staples, the case of Rev.
W. F. Davis for preaching on the Com
mon without a license, was finished. The
jury, turned after being out about two hours, re
a verdict of guilty on each of the
four complaictS" Sentence was postponed,
The court said, addressing the prisoner:
“From 1640 to 1821, when Bostcnbe
came a city, the citizens of Boston de
cided for what purpose the Common
should be used. After that time ihis
right was given to the corporate munici
pality, the mayor, board of alderman and
and common council. It cannot be said
that the constitutional right to deliver a
sermon transcends all other rights, al
though Christianity underlies the- social
fabric. There are a good many things
which may restrain our personal freedom
and liberty, yet in the use of public prop
erty and social intercourse, there must be
some restraints for the best interests and
good of the whole community.” The
case was continued for sentence. "
ENCOURAGED REVOLUTION.
Gen. W. H. Parsons, who was a prom¬
inent cavalry officer in the Confederate
army and is now a respected citizen of
Norfolk, Va., says that his brother, the
condemned anarchist, at Chicago, is a
philosophical anarchist, who social always
claimed that a change in the sys¬
tem must be brought about before men
of wealth would cease to oppress the
poor. He therefore predicted revolution, is
but did not counsel it. Gen. Parsons
convinced that his brother was sincere
and peaceable. He believes the real in¬
stigators of the bomb-throwing were
New York stock speculators, who by
that means broke up the eight horn
movement and enhanced the value of
railroad stocks.

THE G. A. R. MEET.
st. Louis, Mo„ Gives Hie Soiuirr* a Very
o«r«Ha! Welcome.
No such crowd was ever handled in St.
Louis, Mo., as appeared at the first day
of the assembling in annual encampment
of the G. A. It. veterans. Governors and
ex-governors reported from time to time,
and the following were ready to take the
reviewing stand: Governor Oglesby, of
Illinois; Rusk, of Wisconsin; Stone, of
California; Fletcher, of Missouri; Craw
ford, of Kansas; Evans, of Colorado;
Sanders, of Nebraska; Pierrepont, of
West Virginia; ex-Governor William
Sprague, of Rhode Island; ex-Vice-Pres- extended
ideut Hannibal Hamlin. An
programme of receptions, luncheons and
dinners had been prepared for their en
tertainment for the week. In the evening
the doors of the Merchants Exchango
were Thrown open for the soldiers and
their friends, who were wending their
way to tbe reception tendered by the citi
zens of St. Louis, and the immense cham
ber was profusely decorated with bunt¬
ing, flags and stripes and streamers hang¬
ing gracefully from the balconies. A
great banner welcomed the boys of ’61.
A fountain m the middle of the hall, filled
with flowers and surrounded by tropical
plants, dashed jets of water into spray,
and as the great center piece separated
the great masses of the people who filled
the hall long before the hour set for the
welcome address, and band discoursed
stirringairs, -virile the crowd awaited the
coming of the speakers. Mayor Francis,
accompanied by war governors aud other
distinguished guests, entered the hjtt fgNfe
and took places on the platform. A
minutes later Gen. Sherman
companied by two friends, and succcotSP
in getting almost on the platform before
he was discovered by the veterans. Then

rostrum. *
Mayor Francis arose, a ^turning tflfed to
wards Gen. Fairchild ex riSjFof a hearty
welcome to the Grand Ar the Re
public. He called the commander-in¬
chiefs attention to the fact that not only
comrades-in-arms were work tag harmoni¬
ously side by side by many who, a quar¬
ter of a century ago, were arrayed against
them in civil strife, and Gen. Fairchild
responded to the when cordial the greeting invitation by the
assurance that was
accepted,it that- was Louis with would the belief do just and knowl¬ she
edge done, St. and as
bad there was not a moment
when members of the Grand Army
doubted the hospitable reception that they
were to receive, or tbe moment they
ever thought of not coming. To men
who wore The gray he could say, they met
them with feelings of loyeand confidence, fel¬
aud extend to them the right hand of
lowship. The Grand Army did not dig
up the hatchet or wave the bloody shirt.
There never had been, from 1867 to the
present time, among comrades, a thought
or feeling of malice to the South. Here
to-night were given words of welcome
which would ring out through the land,
and when the Grand Army goes home
they will leave behind a portion of their
hearts. As his voice died out, a call for
Gen. Sherman was followed by a. dozen
more and then a flood of cheers, but they
apparently fell on deaf ears, for. though
looking directly over the sea of faces, the
general gave no sign of response, and
Mayor Francis seized the opportunity of
the lull to introduce ex-Vice President
Hannibal Hamlin. enthusiasm Gov. Oglesby, by of jocu¬ Ill¬
inois kept up the a
lar assault upon Gen. Sherman for not re¬
sponding to the repeated calls. Ashe re¬
tired, the name of Sherman flew from
mouth to mouth, and an ovation greeted
“Uncle Billy” as he rose to answer to the
calls. Gen. Sherman found opportunity
to retire, and as the echo died out the
band struck up “Marching Through'
Georgia.” The veterans quickly caught
the tunc and 4,006 voices rent tlie air
again and again until the hall re-echoed
with their choruses. Gov. Thayer, of
N< braska, Gov. Sprague, of Rhode Is¬
land, Gov. Solomon, of California, and
other honored guests made speeches, and
the evening’s reception closed with three
rousing cheers.
