M. Lee Post, Sio. 6, Dupiirtinuiit ol New vhioh in your absence was rulurrod to uic liy loo ComiimiiduHn-Chief. The decision of Hie iRi.tion BiilmiitUiJUiuvolvoM a coiibtrtiutfoii of tlio doing of llio Itisl Is'niioiinl linoaiiipuiont. and In tliolr con-hiiloriiiiou we niiibt take Hie action as wo lind it in tliu olnelally published Prouut'diiigu.
On reference thereto we liml tlie loliosving inuio: By tlie iiddtvM of the Guimnunder-in-Chief (neo page 41) it iipK)Mn lliul lie liad decided that Department liueiiuipinont not being in action, an nppoul from tlio original act of tlie Dopnitinonl Commander or Department Council of Adniiiiihtni-tlnii may bo made dn col to Hie Conunnndisr-iu-Chiuf. That Ihall the duuimuii Unit appears in the record, und that, is tlio only quorum nubnittlod by tlio Couiuinndor-m-Ohiol to tlio Eneniupinunt in Una inutlur. In tlio roporl of tlio Judge Advocate-Guiierid (jmhi 110j wo llnd the opinion on which is u.iboailiiaUiveduoibiouofthoConiniandor-in-Cliier. The Ilrei wrt of tlie opinion duals unliroly with tlio Ihw ot tho onto in il bearing on tho question of npjiettl. In tin laUor part tlio Judge goes on to consulorthefnuisiu thecuse, and thou iiilvittib thai tlio lit-tt lie reinstated.
hat notion tho Coiniunudor-in-Ohiel look on that ndioe dia not appoar, but from clnlunioiitH iu tho praront hpjhmiI he proMiuiubly roiiifluled the Posts, it Ih tiHtiuy uiKfbMtry tohiiy that tho province of the Judge Advooato-Uoiioial Ih only adviMiry. and that iiottner Inn advico nor opinum become law uiiiil proiiiuigalud by tho Comuiaudei-iii-Chiuf. fcuuh being the blato of tho ciibC, what was tho iielioii of the Rational Encampment? The ooiuniittoe on the import oi tho Judge Advo-catfOeiiural loporud umifc 2H!) Unit tho opinions of the Judge Adviiuate-lionoial aio correct and "that they hhould be udoptud." A motion wan made, "that the report be adopted," and Comrade Coie, of Kew Jernoy, moved an a Mibslilulo "Unit the ro'iort be adopted with the cxerpikm of that part relating to the Department of New Jorwy; whiuh substitute resolution win pusbud. (See page 213.) huUfOipiuuUy (bco jmgo ZW) tho Encuinpuiuiit passed ilie billowing: 'Jt0Mkd, That iu tho notion taken by the Encampment, in the cs.e or the appual of tho Dupart-liiutitof Now Jerbuy, it is not intended to reveibo the opinion of the Judge Advocate-General, that a Post may, under proper oiroiimnlnneea, appeal direct to the National Conitiuindor or National En-caiupuieiit: and on the contrary we ntUrin tho oianion to that oxtent." The otleol of the above bulUlute resolution wns purely negative; it tsimply failed to approve the opinion ol Judge Advouatc-Ueneral, and porhapb, inioicuiiidly, Uie deuibion of tlio t.ominaiider-ui-Clnol tin to the rteht of appeal. The pabsagc of iho Bubsuqucul rebolution, however, oillrined theo)iu-ion of the Judge Advocate-General, ami, inloren-tialiy, thodueiniunof the Comniuiider-in-Cliief oil tho right of the appeal.
The way vat now open for Hiuh ulllrinativeand positive nelioti.nt tho iimtanee of interacted purtius, lib would ovorridc any decibion the Coiiiinniuier-iu-Uhief ninv have rendered rela tive to the reliibtntoinont of the PobiB. but no biioh iiclion any wlioro apjicnra. The luarlmuut Commander of New Jersey wiw appar.iuly balisfied lo leave the matter whoie it thou blood, and entirely failed to prubujuiy ad-vnuliure he may have bo far gained. Wo have, then, a failure jf the Uiicutupnioul to npiirove eor-tain advice eoulaiiied in an opinion ol the Judge Ativoeale-tiotutral, but no action whatever, and no question raised on the record as to the decision of the Commander-in-Chief in view of that advice. It is un elementary principle reeogniwd in our Kuleaand Ilugulalioiib (Chap.
Ill, Art. VII) thatn deoisiou miibt bland until reversed by competent authority. No motion was ever made to reverse the deoisiou of Conimaiidor-iii-Cluef Ibirdolt in the matter of reinstating tho PoMb. and that question never came belorotiicJSncainpment. Whether the failure to take action in thai direction vh a result of iiiibconeeption of the situation by the Department Commander of Now Jorsey.
or merely mi oversight, iu not important, i do not think the Cotnmatidor-in-Chiof bhould now do indirectly what the linwiinpnient failed to do when it had the opportunity with inloresled parties before it, nor do 1 think lie would be Justified in acting upon tho osbumod ititonllun of the -Encampment ou a question not before it. I tun, therefore, of the opinion that the action of the 20th National Encampment did not overrule any uochHoti of uoniuiuinior-iu-uiuoi uuruoii In this matter, or in any way affect the status of the Pouts, and that the Department Commander of New Jersey in notifying thun that the original order of siiHpoiihion was iu force, by virtue of the action of the Nmionnl Encampment, was iu error. Jn view ofthe above opinion it becomes unnecessary to consider the oiliur questions iniocd on the appeal. Yory truly, yours, in F. Mid L.
liwtaY E. Taintou, Judge Advocate-General. The question has been tibked, can a comrade belong to more than one Post at thobame time? WitlioulaiMwuriugilolnoiully.can anyone suggest an ohjoetion to a Comrade being member of as many I'oblsas lie pluanes, jirovidcd lie pays his duobiind attends the meeting in a icabouable regular maimer.

Dhau TmnnsE: I would like to know what credentials a woman must have to bo eligible to membership in the W.ILC; also, why is it a secret organization? Neither the old volunteer army, nor our Remilar Arm v. nor the militia are secret in any sense, nnd no one could join the G.A.IL but a iKiua-fldc soldier.
You know there are some religious denominations who prohibit secret oath. 1. The following is from ArL IV, Chap. 1, Rules and Regulations, W.ILC: "Women of good moral character and correct deportment in tho communities iu which they live, who have not given aid and comfort to the enemies of tho Union, who would perpetuate the principles to which this association stands pledged, nud who have attained the age of 10 years, shall be eligible to membership in tho Woman's Relief Corps." 2. The Woman's Relief Corps is not a military organization, but has forms nnd ceremonies for purposes of better discipline, system nnd order.
No oath is taken at Initiation; the candidato simply promises on her word of honor ns a woman not to reveal the work of Iho Corps, such as tho names of persons to whom relief is administered, nnd other Christian work, more effective when done without pomp and parade. There Is nothing in it to which tho most devout Christian could object. Editoii Relief Coin's. SYMPATHY FOR MRS. LOOAN.

Wo fully realize that our volunteer soldiers have lost their truest friend and champion, and that justice and right havu been deprived of one or their ablest, most fearless defenders. To Iowa soldiers and their families nnd tho old members of our Order throughout the State Gen. Logan and his wife were held in highest reverence and loving esteem for were thoy not our friends? And with ono accord our heads are bowed in borrow for.tho loss wo sustain, nnd for the greater bereavement which has come to you, our dearly-bclovcd sister. General Orders.

John A. Logan, tho brave defender of his country, the honored btntcsinan, the loved comrade, is dead. As an auxiliary to the Grand Army of tho Republic, it ii lilting that the members of the Woman's Relief Corps should unite with them in expressions or sorrow for the noble dead, and iu extending to our licreaved sister, Mrs. Mary A.
Logan, nnd her children, our heartfelt sympathy and lovhigrespect in her terrible bereavement. As fitting tributo of our respect nnd love, the charters of all Corps iu this shall bo draped in mourning for ft period of 00 days, and nt some regular meeting soon afler tho roceipt of this order all Corps shall bclupartuu hour for special services in memory of his life and services to his country. General Orders, No. 3, Deportment of Massachusetts, Mrs.S. Agnes Parker, Department President, and Miss Mnry E.
Elliott, Department Secretary, contain the following: Wo recognize in the death of Gen. John A. Logan the loss of loyal friend in our work, nnd we unite with the Grand Army of the Republic and other friends of patriotism throughout the country in expressing our sinccrest sympathy to his widow, who is an honored member of the Woman's Relief Corns. An engrossed copy of the following resolution, passed by Bradford Relief Corns, No. 13, auxiliary to Bmdford l'ost.
No. 141, O.A.R., nnd signed by Mary A. Wallace, Mary E. Davis and Susan Karns as committee, has been forwarded to Mrs. Logan Whereas onco again nn order has been sent forth by the Great Commandcrof till, this time summon-iugGcn.
John A. Logan from tho ranksof thcGrnnd Army below to those above, and we are' once more reminded of tho fact thnt the membership of this noble Order is being rnpid'4' depicted and that we ns members of the Relief Corps auxiliary thereto, hhould feci more nud more tho importance or our work, that wo should with moro carnea-itncis and with moro zeal labor for the cause wo bnvo espoused, that of thofcoldieraml those dependent on him. In Ills death tho Woman's Relief Corps loses ono of its truest friends nnd most ardent supporters, as is shown by tho following quotation from his own words 1 can speak from experience. I was once a sufferer on the Held of battle and long afterward, and everv morn 1 could feel ns if a silver cord was twined around capslnti iu the regions or glory and reached to my heart where it was anchored by the hand of woman. 1 heir nanus are so coiiuecleu with tho hand or divinity that man without them would be barbarian.
And to tho Grand Army let me bay let the time never come when you will contemplate the separation or the Relief Corps from tho Grand Army. As the poor old soldier goes lotteritig down the road oflilu to meet death nothing can cheer him on as ran the ministrations of woman in charity. So also does the widow or the boldier who has gone before need the consoling influence that woman alone can give, and 1 thank God ns a member or thu Grand Army that ho has brought to tho front this auxiliary." These words, with the memory or John A. Logan, will ever beau incentive for us to labor zealously for those whom ho so loved. Jicsolvtd, That wo hereby tender our sympathy to the Grand Army of tho itepublic in the great loss it has sustained In the death of this itsbtauchest friend nnd comrade, nnd may each remaining comrade rlrlvu to emuluto his virtues, so that when their summons comes to "go up higher" it may bo fiaid of them as it is of luui, "he was an honest man." JUsotced, Thnt words fail lo express our sympathy nnd sorrow for tho family of our deceased friend, and especially for our beloved nnd honored bister, Mnry A.
Ixigiin, iu her j.reat bereavement by tho death of her husband, nud can only pray thnt lie who hath raid. Whcu'thou passeth through the waters I will bo with thee, nnd through tho rivers they shall not overflow thee," may sustain her In this dark hour or borrow and affliction.

Never; they will divide their last meal and share their lost blanket ero it shall bo done. The Relief Corps, ably presided over by Mrs. Roberts, is the strong right arm of the project. They spare neither time nor strength In the work; but with tho flimo spirit of love for the cause, ns was shown in '61, they work for tho flag and Its defenders.
One very pleasant feature of the fair was the presence of Col. Gill, of tho 24th a rebel, who fought as well during the war, but who is now loyal to the flag that bears the stripes and stars. He addressed the meeting In an ablo manner, nnd sang Southern war songs nnd plantation melodies. He was introduced and presented to tho audience by Hon.
