Spetctl-Romraki by General BborM.n-Southern Progrco., ktr, New Yobk, April 9.???Fifteen hundred people gathered in the large halt of Cooper union to-night, to take part in the inaugural publia ceremonies relating to the establish ment ot a homo for disabled ex-confederate soldiers at Rlchmund, Va. The pletform was neatly draped in American and foreign Sage and banners and shields, and a band played patriotic music at appropriate Ume3 during the meeting, The opening strains of ???Dixie??? exited forth loud applauae..Colonel James R.O'Beine called the convention to order, and named the well, known veteran, Corporal Tanner, of Brooklyn, oschairman, in the forced ahsenceof our great captain, General Grant. (Applause.) Corpo ral Tanner, who bad both legs shot away in battle, and walks on two wooden legs, came forward with cheers, and began his opening address by saying that ho was with the movement with his heart and soal and from the crown of his head as fsr down os he went. He did not forget General Grant's word to General Leo at Appomattox, when he said to the great confederate general to n-ll ills men to take their horoee homo; as they would need them for tho spring ptoughing,aud then distributed 100,000 rations among tbe defeated army. Grant, in (his, epitomised the feeling of every man who is willing to give credit to those who hava stood the knocks of the battle field in tho cause that they believed to be just. The corpo ral went on: "f have thought this thing over and see that those of the other side have not the same piotnres to look back on that we have. The great majority wont out to fight for what they thought wts right, jast as we went out to fight for what we knew to be right. I know that the old bitterness is dying out. If we are men we will see to it that the sufferers who differed with ns will find oat that humanity still lives. [Applause ] France gathers up the honored remains ot the great men who fought for the kingdom, the empire or tbe republlo. We are bound to take up this thing, and carry it to a euccetsfnl end. [Applause ] We can do it, and we will. [Great applause.] The speaker told how it wee frequently his mission to go to Washington to procure pen sions hr our soldiers, and bow the southern members of congress, without exception, were alwsy* to be relied upon for tbelr sup port of such relief measures for their old enemies. He said that the building of this asylum wonld be another bond between the north and south. Tanner told an anecdote of a little eon of his and tbe child [Laughter.] of an ex-confederate who lived next door to hint. One Sunday evening he and bis friend were sitting on his front porch, where tbe little ones had taken up a position on tbs "p ckst fence" in front. Presently a kiss passed between the youngsters. "John,??? said the corporal to bis neighbor, ???I guess the union will be all right in the next .generation." (Load laughter and ep platue.) Lima rami obsebal orikt. MoJor Quincy, of Maryland, received letters of regret from several distinguished persona. General Grant wrote: 1 am in keariy eymt pathy with the movement, and yon can rely upon me for doing all I nan in carrying oat the purpose of the meeting. I promise apport, financial and otherwi.e. Genera eneral Hancock wrote: ???Yon have the assurance of my beat wishes and efforts for roar success in tbe accomplishment of this long deferred benevolent enterprise.??? 1 General U. H. Bristow salt! in his letter, that it woe appropriate to hold each a meet- ingin a house founded in true philanthropy, and promised his support. Senator Hawley, Lev. T. DeWItt Taira age, C. T. Christensen, General Sam W. Crawford, C. P. Huntingdon, and General Roger A. 1'ryor, General P. Wilcox and Lilly and others also wrote letters of regret. ua.vEoaL a iincx umoBOcan Then the chairman introduced General J. B. Gordon, one of the inauguraton of tbe movement, who was warmly wel comed when he took the platform and many timea interrupted by applause. General Gordon spoke sa follows: ???Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen: Ax an ex-confederate soldier who surrendered hie arms and forces to your great captain a Appomattox C. H., Va., I greet yon tonight with pleasures, sincere and profound. Nearly twenty years have passed since the war ended, end it ft fitting on an occasion like this to recall a fe v facts connected with that conflict, which in the lost analysis, was in no sense a conflict of forms of government, bnt a conflict of construction. On one side at tbe eon tii were the long entertained end inherited theories of consiitnticnal constructions ordor born cf tbe spirit of self defense, devotion to one's own fireeide, people end kindred, which is one of the most exalted ot virtues, which lifts by Its intrinsic power the humblest sonl into a file of unsel fish heroism, and which stretched across the southern border a cordon of as brave breasts as were ever faced to tbe storm* of battle, On the side of tb* north was the purpose to maintain this union, high, manly, inflexible resolve, that America should be] the abiding place ot but one great free republic. Two grand motives inspired the anion soldiers, nerving them to high thoughts and great achieve ments. These two grand motives which throbbed through every fibre of tbe anion soldiers' being, and whispered in thrilling accents in the hoar of battle were the Indissolubility of the American nnion and the universality of American freedom. Both armies were patriotic. Both were re publican, and devoted to lue principles of a republican government Both were marshaled under constitutions which incorporated all the great cardinal princi ples of the equality of states, the habeas corpus, trial by jury, the freedom of the press, religious liberty, and tbe su premacy of the central constitution, and there was not a moment during the conflict when either army would have hesitated to put down any attempt to found a monarchy or an order o: nobility, or a privileged priesthood in this fair land, consecrated by their com mon ancestry to freedom and equal rights and devotion to liberty. To constitutional liberty was tbe fountain from which both drank in tbe inspiration for the mighty con flict. and every soldier who fell in the strife on either side turned his death pale face to heaven a glorious martyr for the right, es he understood it. Though foes in fact they were| comrades at heart, in ultimate purpose, and now they mean to be comrades in fact. The canse which brings us here is worthy ot men whose heroism in the late war thrilled ibe world with astonishment and admiration. It is a movement by brave and magnanimous vie tors to protect, shelter and befriend the dis abled and suffering of their hott- orabel and valiant, though vanquished, brothers. It is to mske practical, to give form and direction and scope, to an impulse conceived in tbe noblest minds, born of brave and generous hearts, inspired by God. like charity, and which is destined to exert a power for good on the future .of this reunited country, resistless, measureless, enduring, this movement, my countrymen, in its effects upon those now living and those who come after us, is worth more to this conntry than all the resolutions of political platforms or parties, more than all appeals by elcqnent lips for a restoration of sectional concord and Ameri can fraternity, for it is the northern hearts' own eloquence addressed to the southern hearts??? own sensibilities. It is a brotherhood accomplished, filtobliterates passion, touches softens and unites tbe heartsof allcnrpeopla and will bind them together in a bond of brotherly affeotlsn, sincere, strong and immortal. To understand the significance of this movement, unsolicited end spontane ous, is not exaggerated, It is sufficient to know that it receives the sanction and co operation of the bravo men of tbe federal army, from its great ex-commander, whose fame fills continents down to tbe humblest private who, himself maimed and poor, is ready to contribute to this canse from the ???mall pension paid by the federal government, end tt remains only to add that among the blessings which have resnlted from our great conflict, which arc common to all, is tho courage and discipline of the soldier citizenship, the chivalry ami martial spirit, love end glory, and appreciation of honorable, truth ful and Intrepid character, the scorn of meanness and baseness end cowattilBO, tbe courage to elrlko a braver blow for right then any power dare strike for wrong, assured greatness end beaofletnco o our common country, south nad,??Mk, as one great army matching to a coniSSBWcmiae and under a common flag, tbe omblem of the nnion, ??????one and inseparable.??? The next speaker was General P. H. Sheridan, who msd i the humorous speech of the evening. Ho said he believed in fight ing at the proper time and only then. He thought that if we could remember something of the south beside tbs war it would be ajpretty good thing SThcre were enumerable, heroic and noble things about tbe snath that could easily be recalled.??? He continued: "I sometimes think it well to remember that when a war la over It i* done. Wo sent out brigades, divisions, reetraenta, os far as ws could, nnd Ate south did only the ssme tbfui as well as they could (laughter), ant I thank God they didn't keop it up much longer. (Laughter.) I know I had enough of it several times. (Langhtsr.) We fought and they fit; wo won and they didn't, and it is a mighty mean usan who will remind tbera of it. except under some such circumstances. (Laughter.) Sheridan hoped the good work wontd go on, and promised to help it with his purse and in every other way he could. The meeting was highly inccesafut and arrangements were perfected for ntinuing the work in hand. consumed at home instead of seeking an out side market. LABsa ItOBTH AMD SOUTH. 1 , ???What ot the colored population?" "I have no hositstion In ssying. sir, that the colored man to-day in tho south is, take it all in atl, much better paid for his labor and mneb better fed and housed than tbe laboring man in any part of tho world. Colored labor is chiefly on tho cotton planta tions. A laborer gets on an average $10 a month, nnd bis hoars of labor are at no sea ???on of tho year excessive. ???Compare the condition of the laborer up here who receives bis 130 or $40 or even (30 a month with that of the negro laborer on the plantation. What with rent end cloth ing, food and fuel, it is much harder for the laborer here to save money, while ho does not livs nearly so well as the man on the plantation; and Isay again oar people de serve great praise for the system wnich so arranges lanor as to produce this condition of things." advakcs or ms mono. ???Are tbe negroes alive to their advan tages?"

Vety many now own their little plantations and work to their own in dividual profit, or they own part of a planta tion, or they invest in real estate in the towns or villages. Then it must be remembered that their expeases and wants are always eon siderably less than those of the whites whose means would correspond with theirs.??? "Are they advancing in educationT" ???Very largely.??? "Are the schools mixed in the south???? ???No; nor is education compulsory; but it is being pushed forward with great onergy.

These find a ready market through all tbe country, and in this matter we are already able to compete ???uaceaefally with New England, the cost of labor bting' eo much cheaper in the south. The increase of railroads, too, is altering tbe pace ot the country, bringing in trade, for warding building and converting trade into new channels. Formerly such railroads as were bnilt were built around the large cotton es???ates, cotton being the main industry and ???ourae of wealth. They thus avoided sections of the country that team with mineral wealth, which previous to the war lay latent because there was no person and no coll to work it. Why, sir, Alabama, West Virginia, South and North Carolina sod Tennessee have tbe finest coal and Iron fields la the country, and the future of our coat and iron industry lies right there. We are already predating and shipping pig iron at a cheaper rate than they can in Pittsburg, and for the same reason that we can manufactureourcotton goods cheaper than they can be manufactured in New Eng land.

Had he appeared in chains of gold and robe diamonded, that would have suggested especial sympathy lor the affluent. Had he appeared with sword dangling from soldler'i sash, that would have suggested sympathy with warriors. But iu gardentn, habit, btsoiled of his occupuion that mesne, ss I spell it out to-day, a pathetic understanding on his purt of tbe hard work of life. And today ought to roll down com fort through all these aisles and toll up com fort through all these galleries.

Rut from this Easter of 1881 to oar last Euter on earth, we want to see him as Manr MW him at the daybreak, ???aoppotoog him to be a gardener." Another thing that bu not been noticed in rids resurrection of Christ is tbat he made his first postmortem appearance to her who had once been the seven devilled Magdalen. One would,'have) thonghtjthat Christs first posthum ous appearance would have been to some one illastrions for goodness. There are saintly women who always were eaintly, saintly in the cradle, saintly in their girlhood, saintly in womanhood, At models for a madonna. Almost every fantely circle lies bad a saintly aunt. In my family circle it was a satutly aunt Pbrebe. In yours it wu a saintly Aunt Martha or Aunt Ruth. Bat not so this one ot the text. White we are not to confound her with the repentant cour tesan who worshipfully made her long locks do tbe work of a towel at Christ???s foot-wash* ing, we nevertheless must remember thatsha hail been exorcised of seven devils. Wnat a capital cf demonology she must have been Whata chorus of diabolism. Seven dev.lri Two for the eyes, two for the hands, two for tbe feet, and one tor the tongue, list all of them extirpated, and now she is as goad as ouce she was bad; and loi she is tbe first wit ness of the resurrection. What does that mean? That Christ can out of tbe greatest tinners make the greatest saints. That thoce lowest down may bs lifted higheit up. That the clock tbat strikes J2 at midnight may yet strike 12 at noon. That grace is seven times stronger than sin. Magdalen tbe seven-dev iled becomes Magdalen the seven angeled. It means tbat when the Lord meets us at last He will not throw up to tti what we have been. All that Christ said was; "Mary!??? If lie had been like some people He would have said: "Let me see, how mauy devil* did you ouce have. One, two, three, four, fire, six, acveu! What a terrible piece you was wbeu I first met you!??? Most srorneu of our day would have ateered clear of her. The ouly thing I have to say against women is that they are so merciless upon their fallen sisters, and show so little of the spirit of C.irlst toward Mary Magdalen. Bat this supposed gardener put all remlnis eence aud all anticipation, aud all pace*, and nil imttiOB, and all heaven into a word of foir syllables, when he said ???Marti" Hie tint appearance after mortuary silence, not to some Hlelo Elizabeth or Bible Either or Bible Hannah, but to Mery. Not to tho Marys against whom we read nothing advene. Not Mary the mother of Jeans, or Mary tho mother of James, or Mary the sister of Martha, but to the aeven devliled Mery. Not only pardon but highest revelation tor the worst ot folks. There is a man of seven devils??? devil of avarice, devil of hate, devil of pride, devil of strong drink, devil of Impurity, devil of falsehood, devil of indolence.

It was tbe sevea-devllled Mary who supposed Christ to be the gardener. Another thing not noticed about this scene of tits (ext is that it was in tbe morn ing twilight, if chonometera had been in vented so early und Mary Magodaten had owned as good a watch as some of. tho Marys of our time she would havo taken It out and fuuud It to bCLAPont half pot 5 u. m.

Old ??????ConstitutiODe??? and ???Constellations??? of hard service discharged forever from work On reeurrection day Christ was identified aad credentrailed by His scars, and we shill at lost know Him by the scars aad know each other by the scars. You have thought of them as disfigurements or badges of endur ance. Now 1 tell you they are to bo msaus of recognition. Once more. You have not noticed that after Christ had lain from Friday to Sunday lifeless in a hot climate where sanitary oru- dence compels burial tbe next day; where there is no ice to retard dissolution, he is not only exhumated but positively, obostna one who Is bronzed of outdoor work, Mary not taking Him for an Invalid just got out of a hospital ora corps*risen from the tomb, but ???supposing Him to be a gardener," healthy by the upturning of tbe toll aad a lit??? fn the euniblue. After His Interment, every cel lular tissue bed broken d iwn, and artery and nerve and brain were a wreck phyilolagicil. Just here He is roseate and swarthy and complete. Well, if God could turn snch a mortuary stale into such a radiant animation tbat settles it that whatever may have be come of the bodies of onr Christian friends, they can be rcconslructcd. all tbe nerves strung, all tho bone* jointed, the optlo nerve re-lumod, the ear drum vibrating and all the body set up except its Impeifections and worldly uses for which we need no resurrec tion. Cornel Cornel It Is almost time for us to get ready and go out and meet oar re animated dead. This body of Christ coming up healthy after all its lacerations shows me that all the gravo can keep i* our woandsaad physical defects and weaknesses. Chris???, had been put Into tbe tomb exhausted and biosd- leso from His wounds. All the lifo currents had boon poured out. After a life of fatigue and hunger and suffering he h*d died a lin gering death, hli whole weight buag on four spl kes and no invalid after ten years of suffer ing went into his grave so emaciated and ghastly aa Christ ana yet here he is 3 tlayi after, so free from ill wounds and so rubi cund of cheek that Mery supposes him to bs tbe gardener. So we well leave our side-aches and head aches nnd bick-acbes and leg-aches and heart aches where Christ left bie. Your ear will come up without its heaviness. Your eye without itsdlmnew. Your step without iht rheumatic halt, your luugi without oppressed respiration. What rjees we will run when we become immortal athletes! Wlrat circuits we will take when with all oar physical im- icrfections subtracted and all celestial veloo- ties added we shall eat up our new residence In the capital of the universal, In whioh, with more Inhabitants than all our earthly titles combined, wo shall not for all eternity be called to observe one obsequy.
