S. A.“ and Soldiers in Confederate Uniforms in Highly- Colored Lithographs—Philadelphia Militia Refuse to Participate in the Affair. By Telegraph to the Post-Dispatch. PHILADELPHIA, June 2,—Everybody who has taken any interest in the subject has known that the project of a National encampment in Fairmount by the National Guardsmen of this city, and the local brigade declined to participate. The reason given was that a successful camp could not be held inso large a city because the grounds would be overrun with visitors. The reason was no doubt valid in the minds of the local military, but devel- opments made within the last day or two prove that it was not the only reason. The project to have the encampment originated with Lieut.- Governor Underwood of Kentucky, and is being managed by him, with the assistance of his cousin, Col. H. L. Underwood, whose headquarters are at the Continental Hotel. Within five days Colonel Underwood bas received from a number of citizens a written guarantee that the money to vid Within a day or two Colonel Underwood has posted, in conspicuous places about the city, some very handsome lithographs, which has = great offense tosome people. A prominent Third street banker, who was one of the guarantees. on going to his place of business yesterday morning, saw one of these lithographs in a Chestnut street window, and at once sent word to Colonel Under- wood to strike off his name from the guarantee. Colonel Underwood immediately called on the banker, who,in polite, but emphatic, language, told the distinguished Kentuckian that whoever had issued the lithographs representing the pro d encampment had — mistaxen the sen nt of Phiiadeipbia. The lithograph represents UNION AND CONFEDERATE SOLDIERS drawn up in the same line and saluting a Union and Confederate General, who are riding side by side. The letters C. S. A. are on the belts of the Con- federates. Lam glad.“ said the banker to Colonel Under- wood, to do my part in welcoming men of the South to Philadelphia as members of the National Guard of tae United States, but I will have no part in welcoming men with the badge of tbe re- bellion upon their breasts. They might as well come a rebel flag. We hute rebellion now just ads much as we hated it twenty years ago. We cordially forgive all penitents, but those who have not repented we have not forgiven.” Colonel Underwood expressed his regret that the lithographs had been posted and said that he would stop r further issue at one, but the financier insisted that his rame should be stricken from tbe guarantee. The facts of the interview soon spread torough the city and created a good deal of talk. Many coincided with the views of the banker, while others thought he was over sensitive. A prominent member of General Hartranft's staff said, guardedly, that he thought it would be a very wise thing for the Southern militia- men to 0 Pt United States army. the commander of . National Guards of Pennsyivania, said that the Nationa! 8 was a very commendable — affair, and that did not believe that the gray uniforms were placed on the advertising posters with ai motive. Colonel Theodore E Welder veim,commanding the First Regiment, N. G. P., said: “I do not approve of P THAT ane y 1 7 One of them was sent up armory and I saw it there. Of course, our brigade will not be in the show, so it will not make much difference to us, but I think it was a mistake to print the poster with the C. S. A. on it. the Southern militia carried nothing but State flags in the inauguration on, and that they had not carried the National colors at all. If that was so, it is a particularly bad thing todo to e the C. S. A.’ on the advertising poster of the reunion.” Colonel Under wood's room at the Continental is stocked with lithographs, ready to be sent all over the country. He was busy yesterday afternoon and evening with 4 — blotting out tbe letters C. S. A.” wherever they appeared on the lithographs. Lieutenant-Governor Underwood, who has n absent from this city for some days, returned last evening. He expressed great ‘surprise that any objection had been made to the lituographs. The picture, he said, was merely aliegoricai,and in- tended to represent harmony and unity among those who had once been enemies, and he pointed out the fact that all the troops in the picture were represented oot ~ the United States flag. He said the idea that the Southern troops were to come here in Confederate uniforms was absurd, and that there was not a serviceable Confederate uniform or belt in existence at this time. “KNOW-NOTHINGS.” owden, Father Cudihay Arraigas an Offending Grand Army Post. By Telegravh to the Post-Dispatch. Miurorp, Mass.. June 2.—At St. Mary's Catholic Church Sunday the Rev. Father Cudihay made some streng remarks concerning the members of Post 22, G. A. R., who entered the cemetery on Memorial Day against his orders. He called them “Know-Nothings” and said they were led bya Scotch Presbyterian and a Protestant Englishman. Referring to them again he termed them “‘infidel"’ and Scotch and English bigots.” He said he should refuse Christian burial to the Catholic par- ticipants till they make a full confession of their guilt before witnesses and asked pardonof the church for violating the laws regarding the sacred- ness of the cemetery, and he was not sure that they would not BE EX-COMMUNICATED FOR 80 DOING.
