RICHMOND AND THE DEAD
THE MEETING IN ADVOCACY OF
THE CITY’S CLAIMS.
Oot. Lee Makes an Eloquent 6peech
Eulogistic ot the Confederacy’s
Bleeping Chief Resolutions of Eu
logy and in Favor of the City as a
Burial Bite Adopted.
RICHUOM), Va., Dec. 21. Mozart
Academy of Music to-night was packed
with people to give expression, by their
presence and voice, to the scheme which is
on foot to raise money for a monument to
the memory of Jefferson Davis, as well as
to signify their desire to have trie body of
the lamented dead finally interred in this
city. Soldiers in uniform, confederate vet
erans, civilians and ladies comprised the
audience.
Mayor Ellism called the meeting to
order. Rev. M. D. Hoge of the Presby
terian church delivered a beautiful invoca
! tion. after which Gov. Lee was intro
• duced as chairman. Gov. Lee, Mai. Cnarles
J. Stringfellow, Gen. Peyton Wise, Rev.
1 J. L. M. Curry, and Rev. J. William Jones
addressed the audieuce.
Eulogistic resolutions prepared bv p. com
mittee were unanimously adopted. They
dose wi h an advocacy of Richmond as
the place of final interment, and pledge
a statue to rise above the remains.
They also request the governor of Virginia,
■who was cuairman of the meeting, to cou
vev its action to Mrs. Davis.
Gen. A Vise, in submitting the resolutions
on behalf of the committee, made an
eulogistic speech. Gov. Lee also spoke
eloquently and eulogistically.
Hu said: When the messenger of death flying
with electric wings from tne Crescent City to
Virginia, brought to us her recent sad tidings,
the hand of mourning touched the heart strings
©f Onr people, and they are still visible wiiu
genuine grief to tue accompanying voice
©t" the mother commonwealth. How
hath the mighty fallen. A shadow has been
cast over otir plains and valleys; our rivers roll
troubled to the sea; a covering cloak of gloom
has o'erspread our towns and cities; a sorrow
cloud has lipped our mountain tops; Virginia
•weeps for Jefferson Davis. How appropriate is
her lamentation. Bound as she has lie-on to
constitutional government from the early
formation of the republic by the sword
cf Washington, the I *-n of Jefferson,
the voice of HeDry, the wisdom of Mason, and
the efforts of Madison in and out of the federal
convention that constructed the constitution;
And mixed with the very marrow of her bones
is the knowledge that in constructing that in
strument in Philadelphia, in a body presided
over by one of her sons, end in the rati
fication by her afterward, there was
*io denial of her right to withdraw
from the union then formed when siie
should decide to do so; and. believing, too, in
that sentence of the declaration of ludepe ul
•©ce, drafted by another son, that it is the
right of the people to alter or abolish any form
©f government that becomes, in their opinion,
destructive to ‘ life, liberty and the pursuit of
Jiappiness,” and the “institutions of govern
ment.'' Virginia was in thorough accord with
the constitution, of which Mr. Davis was so
conspicuous a defender. It was easy then, in
those days of '6l, for Virginia to exclaim:
f ‘Whither thou eoest I will go. and where thou
lodgcst I will lodge. Thy people shall bo my
Jieople, and thy God my God.”
HIS PEOPLE TO THE EXP.
To-night this splondid assemblage, ingather
ing to pay homage to his memory, speaK.s in no
uncertain tones to the country that our people
were to the end his people, and that God
who looks down from Ins throne of mercy be
yond the blue dome above and binds tip the
broken hearts of the sorrowing wife and chil
dren isthesameGodtowhom we how in bumble
submission to the exercise of his divine will.
Do you ask me if Virginia Honor* President
Davis? Ask if she Admires courage in the
eoldier.patriotisra in a representative, conscien
tiousness in a oabinet officer, integrity in a sen
ator, fearless fidelity and unaffected piety in
ail that constitutes a Christian gentleman.
If Kentucky produced this hero we do not
forget that she was the daughter of Virginia.
If Mississippi was his adopted state we re-
JBeintytr she is Virginia’s sister, chained to
her by loving links of the mighty past, bound
by holy memories of the preset, and united
heart to heart in the great future unrolling
before us.
SECTIONAL HATE.
Gov. Lee eloquently alluded to ex-Pros-
Ident Davis’ services in Mexico, and said:
Perish then sectional hate in the narrow mind
of the mover of a resolution that he alone
Bhould be excluded from the benefits of the
Mexican pension act, for well could President
Davis reply to him as Uncle Toby said to the tlv,
“00, little wretch, there is room in the worid
for you and I.” Away, too, forever,
with the pitiful prejudice In the heart of the
man who ordered his name to he chiseled from
the stone which commemorated his soceessful
efforts in erecting a bridge across the Potomac
about Washington. What matters it now to
the people of the south if, after all he did to
promote the glory of the United States, there
IS not magnanimity enough left to conform to
the usual custom of putting at fialf niast the
flag over the department of the government he
did so much to adom, so long as the flag of
their affection floats go high above such art ion
and is so richly draped in the habili
ment* of mourning at his death? [Ap
plause.] I know when the passions of
men are inflamed reason departs.
I know that amid the clash of arms laws are
Silent. I know when blood is spilt, human
hyenas roar. But does all this prevent the
civil aed world from shuddering at the Tecital
of the horrors of the inquisition or the terrors
©f the French revolution?
Gov. Leo then briefly portrayed the im
prisonment of President Davis, reviewing
the charge of heresy and treason against
him, aud the government's unwillingness to
prosecute, aud failure to find ala wto con
vict.
HIS PERORATION.
He closed with this peroration:
Such is the man, ladies and gentlemen, the
rapitol city of the confederacy reverences this
evening. For four years he was a familiar
figure on our streets, in liis executive office aud
on horseback as he rode around the lines of tiro
then circling the city. When the ship of tho
new republic was launched he was c died to
command, and was with her rocked in the
cradle of the deep. The storms of war burst
Upon her deck before her maohineryt
was even put in motion, but through the
thunder's roar, when forces were' rent,
•when breakers were dashing against her.
•when despair was visible up ,n the
faces of some of her crew, and when
Bbe began to settle and sink amid the lurid
flashing of the lightning, the captain was seen
standing calm, heroic, resolute, grand in
All the glory of man, grasping
■with a firm hand the helm as he sank
down, down in the sea of eternity. Here
let the commander sleep whose sword Hashes
o longer in the fore front of battle. Here let
the orator be guided upon whose lips audiences
were once suspended magically as if by golden
chains. Here let the statesman rest, watched
over and guarded by the city that ever received
his loving attention. Hero let the chieftain be
brought and buried in May, when a monument
Is to be unveiled to one of his armv com
knanders; when nature spreads her carpet
of green; when in the isles of the orchard
blossoms are drifting, and the "tulip s pale
fstalk in the garden is lifting a goblet of gems to
the sun,” and here too let us erect a monument
that will stand in lofty aud lasting attestation
to tell our children’s children of our love for
the memory of Jefferson Davis.
The governor's speech was frequently
applauded.
MAJ. STRIXGFELLOW'S SPEECH.
Maj. Stringfellow, in closing n beautiful
tribute to tbe memory of Mr. Davie, said:
Richmond must have the remains of our
noble chieftain, and here we must rear some
suitable monument to tell our children’s
children the story of his heroic
hte. Let no such word as fail
be found in the lexicon of manhood any more
than in that of youth, when lofty motives, in
telligent action and concerted efforts are*
©beared by woman’s presence and approval.
In those days that so sorely tried the souls of
her men. the women of Virginia displayed a
courage as true, a patriotism as pure, a will as
undaunted as the Spartan mother who. with
tearless eyes, bidding good by to her
only son as she sent him to the field, pointed
bo his shield with the simple words, ‘'This
or upou this.” Many ot them with their fair
daughters yet survive to bless our hearts and
homes. To them 1 make no appeal, for their
neaits ever beat in unison with all that is true,
all that is beautiful, and all that is good. Let
us then take such steps an may be necessary to
show, not in words ouly, but in act and deed as
well, tbe sincerity of our desire to be trusted
with tne watch and ward over our honored
dean ash* Sleeps, crowned with the reverence
ana love of his people.
A resolution was adopted looking to a
permanent organization and securing a
charter for a monument association. Mayor
r.mscn was subsequently elected president,
Lewis (nuter vice president, W. D. Chestor
aum secretary, and John G. Elliott
treasurer.
CAPITAL OF THE STATE.
A City Solicitor Badiy Hurt Officers
of the First Battalion.
Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 21.—G. McKinnon, a
city drummer, was hurt, perhaps fatally,
in a runaway to-day. He was driving a
delivery wagon, drawn by a wild horse,
which took fright, throwing him out
against a stone. One ear was cut off, his
head gashed, and his spine injured very
seriously.
The officers of the First Georgia battalion
have been commissioned as follows: Burk
Shumaker, first lieutenant ad adjutant;
Joseph Ganahl, Jr., first lieutenant and
quartermaster: J. M. Roaenfeld, first lieu
tenant aud co.iimiisary; Frank T. White,
paymaster, and A. S. Tinsley, surgeon.
The ti. fa. against the Georgia Southern
and Florida railroad for overdue taxes on
foreign sleeping oars was withdrawn to-day,
as the road operates no sleepers.
The Sunday Chronicle will to-morrow
announce tho candidacy of Mr. Grady for
governor, on what it claims to bo reliable
authority. Mr. Grady is worse to-night,
and his family consider his condition
dangerous. Pneumonia is supposed to bavo
set in.
Roland Reed’s new comedy, “American
Assurance,” written by Jessup and Gillet,
received its first performance hero to-night.
R is a farce comedy, and its first production
was a great success, before a crowded
house and amid continued laughter.
BAGGED A MURDERER.
The Laet of the Hughes Family Ex
terminators Captured.
Valdosta, Ga., Dec. 21. —Robert Saxon,
the last of tho three murderer* of the
Hughes family in Clinch county, has been
captured, and is now in the Valdosta jail.
The other two men wore caught several
weeks ago in Florida, and Saxon fled to
Wilcox county, Georgia. About ten day*
ago ho wrote to his paramour at Cat Crook,
in this county, ani asked if they were
going to hang his confederates in the
crime. lie told her to write to him at Sib
bio, Wilcox county, and address Henry
Williams. It so happened that
the woman could not read,
and she carried the letter to
J. M. Matthi* to read for her. In this man
ner Saxon was given away. Mr. Matthis,
knowing that there was a reward of 1150
for Saxon, lost no time in improving his
opportunities. Yesterday he came upon
Saxon at Sibbio on the Ucmulgoe river, in
Wilcox county. When he leveled his pis
tol on his man, Saxon wheeled and ran, but
two bullets brought him to a stand. Saxo.i
was brought to Valdosta to-day. He is
seriously shot, but liis wound* are not nec
essarily fatal.
A SCRIBE AND THE CHURCH.
He Must Abandon Publication or be
Expelled from Membership.
Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 21.—A special
from Erie, Pa., says: “Robert Cornell,
editor and proprietor of the Sunday Globe.,
a news publication in this city, has been
given the choice by the church sessions of
abandoning publication of his paper
or having his name stricken
from the roll of members
of the First Presbyterian church. Mr.
Cornell is a very exemplary man, but re
cently created a stir in society circles by
publishing matters that were offensive, anti
this is said to be the causo of tho expulsion.
Cornell, who had gone into the church on a
letter, naked to have it returned to him or
that he lie given a hearing before tho ses
sion. If this is refused he will appeal to the
highest church tribunal.

$30,000 of bouds to-day. A two-thirds vote
and a majority of 25 over tbe legal require
ment was polled in favor of bonds. There
was some decided opposition, but the result
to-night comes as a reward to those who
love the present and future prosperity of
the city, and who have worked with untir
ing zeal aud energy to accomplish the.glori
ous result. Carriages, carryalls, end bug
gies labeled “Water Works” carried voters
trom work-beucl. and parlor to the noils all
day, and to-night the city is given over to
a jubilee and pyrotechnics.
Death at Halcyondale.

Morton, who has been lingering in an al
most dying condition from consumption for
several months, died to-day. Up to a few

have been found. By imprudently chang
ing his clothing he contracted a cold, from
which he never rec ivered. Mrs. Morton,
who iB a sister of I. Dasher of Savannah, is
suffering materially at present, but it is
mainly attributed to overtax from nursing
and grief. The funeral occurs at Oliver
at 10 o’clock to-morrow moruing.

MEDICAL.
Catarrh
Is a constitutional and not a local disease,
and therefore it cannot be cured by local ap.
plications. It requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, working
through the blood, eradicates the impurity
which causes and prqpiotes the disease, aud
Catarrh
effects a permanent cure. Thousands of
people testify to the success of Hood's Sarsa
parilla as a remedy for catarrh when other
preparations had failed. Hood's Sarsaparilla
also builds up the whole system, and makes
you feel renewed in health and strength.
Catarrh
“ For several years I have been troubled
with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca
tarrh. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla with the
very best results. It cured ine ol that contin
ual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up feel
ing. It lias also helped my mother, who has
taken it for run down state of health and kid
ney trouble.” Mbs. S. D. Heath, Putnam, Ct.

besides mechanical ability to design “catchy''
ideas. We apply brains to our business, and
employ skilled and competent workmen to pro
