"WEEK. VETERANS IN COUNCIL. GRAND ARMY NATIONAL ENCAMP MENT AT BOSTON. AddrtM mt CmmtBlr lB Cfctr Altr Chief Octroi Por Mex RnsTow. Ann'.

13. The session of the Nntinnn.1 F.on&mDmeDt of the Grand Arm of the Republic was opened at Music Halt to day, and the delegates iron, the different nAnartmpnta of the Union comprised as fine a body of men as ever met in delibera tive assembly, ine nan was Deamiiuuj dnnnratAd. and the floor was entirely occn nied bv delegates. while the balconies which were set apart for members of the Grand Army were failed with veterans. General Sherman was one of the first to arrive, and be took a seat with the Mis aonH Denartment.

although urged to fro upon the platform. He was warmly greeted by the comrades, ana was me centre ui attraction. General Charles Devens, Past Commander in Chief, was with he Massa delegation, and other departments were represented by prominent soiaiers. meeting of the National Council of Admin istration delayed the opening proceedings and it was 11 o'clock when Uenerai Aigei anoeared noon the platform, and wis ap plauded by the delegates. After praver by Pant Chanlain in Chiet Rev.

I. N. 1'OAter, General Alger said that it was the wish of the Commander and of all the comrades that General Sherman should come to the olatform. General Sherman, who was in the centre of the hall, arose amid great applause ana said he preferred to remain witn tne jxlis aouri delegation. General Alger then said, Yonr wish is my order, but I prefer that you will come upon the platform.

A nlriRtL General Sherman declined to leave his eat. and General Alger made a brief apology for a lack of time to prepare bis addreBs as he desired. Daring the last few months, he said, his time had been so oc copied with official duties and his private business that he had been unable to give it the time and thought that he would have liked to. He then informed the convention that he knew nothing abont parliamentary law. but hoped that harmony would prevail ana the business be transacted expeditiously.

If an attempt ws made to tie the Chair by parliamentary technicalities, be would untie the snot very speedily. General Alger then addressed the con vention. Referring to the subject of pensions, he said Mote than three hundred thousand ap dU cat ions have been made to the Com mis sinner of Pensions under the new Disa bility law, and he informs me that applications are coming in at the rate of 10,000 per day. Large as this sum is, it is a great ratification to know that is distributed among our own people. Four times a year this money goes to all parts of the country.

There is not a community wbicn aoes not feel its influence and to which it is not a help. It pays the necessary bills to the merchant and the farmer, who in torn are able to pay their debts, and so on. While these are not reasons for paying pensions, they are a source of consolation to the people who bear the burden. Since the war the nation has doubled in population and more than quadrupled in wealth. Its prosperity is koowjt to no other land, and I am Bure its people are gladly contributing to the support of those who at every sacrifice made it possible for it to be what it is.

After referring to the Grant, Logan, and Sheridan monument funds, General Alger said Comrade John F. Hartranft, the Fifth Commander in Chief, within the year has responded to the call of the Great Commander, and now has his seat at the great encampment on the ether side. Hartranft, the modeBt, kind, and brave soldier, the honored, loved, and trusted citizen, bis memory is a living fragrance of deeds well done. The address was frequently applauded, and his reference to General Sherman aroused great enthusiasm. EXECUTIVE REPORTS.
