Eloquent Speech of a Briiiant Representative ON Tir2 SOLEIERV HOME, lie tint Up Out of n Sick Bed to Speak i.nd Vote for the Home—What He ■aid. One of the ira meat advocates of tho iicceptauco of the Soldiers -IIonic was the gallant young rep resentafivo fiom Dougherty, Hon. E. U. Joues, who got up out of a sick bed to come to Atlanta to as sist in the passage of the bill, and has worked day and night to as sist in its passage. He spoite as follows during the discussion of last Friday. Mr. Chairman—I have listened with a gieat deal ’of pleasure to the eloquent address of tho gentle man from Fulton, and I feel con siderably sensitive fnom the fact that I cannot clothe. my thoughts in language sublime as he, I am constrained, however, to state that ifthere was some supernational power at my command by which I could bo transported to the beau tiful garden of rhetoric, whuro blossom as the rose tho sweetest (lower of poetry and prose, most heartily would I attempt the jour ney, like the gentleman who pro- ceded me, and during my vis t I would cull some poetic sentiments representing and expressing the ixalted apprerin ion, love and gratitude which this patrioticstatg? hoidso.it towards .the unfortunate confe lerat 1. oldicr. Sp akin r for my tel, if tl e power w is n.ine, would not pluck the brightest stag fro.11 the eternal coronet of fam to [latail n th t crjwn’.which en- cir ie, the blow of a confederate o dior; neith r would ,1 c ill the adeles bios •> n which graces the garla d of fame which a union sel ls ha* v non the field of twv,- 1 a e, to deco-.ike w th a riuhei frag uncc t'.iat immortal wreath a confe’e rate soldier has wo ninth* defense of a oanse which is en shrined'in the hearts of every Georgia*. .Representing, as I do, a constituency imbued with a »pir- it of patroitiam, loving aqd loyal ae.they ere to tho ([memories clus- trring around our confederate flag! gratefully aid charitably inolined at they are towards tho unfortun ate soldier, as^te wanders today tattejed and torn, moneyless heme less, guilering and alone; I say, in view of these {facts and circum stances, I esteem it a privilege and an honor of no ordinary import to raise my humble voice in the in terest of the poverty-stricken con federate soldier of Georgia. In speaking of the confederate soldiers we Know their raoords, and as Georgians love to tell of them, and as longas the vestal fire g of history shall burn, the young and the old in this happy south land |of ours will recount their deeds of valor. Yet it would not be in consonance with this occa sion to atK did thoy cringe amidst disaster, compromise in defeat or falter in their endeavors to protect our peaoeful, progressive and pa- troitic state in tho hoar of her im minent peril. Nature forbade this, nr. Chairmen, and history attests with wonderful nccuraoy the res ignation with which they submit ted to the inevitable decreo of numerical power. We know that from 1861 to 1864 the angel of' death hovered over the hovel and the palace end claim ed the truest of the true and the bravest of the brave; yet the truest of the living true, and the bravest of tho living brave are somewhere in this "grand old commonwealth, telling their stories of patroltism and undaunted courage to innocent pratling children, who ami 1st the love-worn war stories learn their first lessons of patroitiam and at the same time shed a sympathetic tear for the gray-haired, hungry confederate soldier jos he oppeals for bread and raiment. I wonder how many goutlemen within th e hearing of my voice have ever suf fered the misfortunes of [toverty; who were mortified and humiliat ed to the extspt that they accord ing to the cu.itom’of begg irs, were compiled to take off their hats and beg from door to door. I know there not one, and God grant theru never will be, and if such should ever be, God grant that the time will be so far distant that the grave shall have closed over all the old soldiers, because some appeal might be made to one of them, which would be granted; yea, to a division of his crutches if necessa* r J- It is whispered by the opponents of the bill that they do not desire sentiment in this discussion. What is love, faith, hope, charity, relig ion, patroitism, gratitude but senti ment. Sentiment has ruled the world from that night in the dis tant ages when the bright star from the east .cast its mellow light to lead the wise men to tho man ger where the infant Christ lay, and so it will continue to rule the world, just so long as the hearts of men can be touched by a sympa thetic appeal, and so long as relig ion will last end no longer. It was principle, it was charac ter, it was virtue, it was honor, it was patriotic devotion to his couu • try which sustained the confeder ate sol lier amidst the disasters and w jth his.aggregation of wealth sufs the calamities of war a id well doea j ficient t > reinstate the fa'len for hi de erve the grateful macm. 1 - nos rf the illfatcd Montszumaa; bian e if hie countrymen araril well tbtbrigh*;!: of the glittering ' c« ho (emu thj» home which crowns o' fallen »nd forgotten cut lo ibg and loyal hearts have ten- jpin,,; if all the wealth and all the dared biro. Thejgxandest heritage 1 jewels which lie buqed in the dust whioh lies nearest and dearest to the hearts ef southern manhood an womanhood and whioh our jioiior- Hy will protect fratu dishonor, are the hallowed traditions of our coun try, and it should be our duty to protoot them and leave them to fu ture generations. , Speaking on this line, Mr; Chair man, I am reminded of the English man who, with his heart respon sive to every sentiment ef national pride, holds the memory of Nolson to his heart and proudly points to Trafalgar; and the gallant French man, with a heart glowing with every sentiment |whioh patriotism could invoke, recalls the memory of Bonaparte and sally turns to Waterloo. And the undimmed glories ’and martial spleudor of southern martyrdom, whon tho southern cross uo longer courted tho breeze ef war ou the blood stained soil of Virginia, guides a southern soldier through the intri cate paths of memory to Appomat-, tox. ~ Follow him frem that moment to tho present, 'though misfortyriV 1 lias placed its sea! upon him, nnd. we will discover that the same characteristics which (mariecd him on the battletiold has fallowed him to the threshold of this confeder ate soldiers’ home. It is a sail yet a consoling ’fact that neitbor an cient nor’moilern history records a more heartrending scans than that, which met tho eye of tho confeder ate soldier when he lowered for the last time tho confederate Hag nt Appomattox, where (he turned his back to a conquering foe aud sought the love 1 precincts of hit; hnmble Georgia home, only to find desoliitiou, poverty and despair awaiting his return. I .invoke th e acceptance of this home in the name of the same principles for which they struggled, in the name of tho same sentiment which burns like a promethean fire in the hearts of the bravest men who ever drew a sword or shouldered a musket, of the noblest women wiio ever im printed a Kiss upon the cheek of the departing soldier, smoothed tho locks of the bleeding warrior, brushed away the scalding tear and taught the bravest how to die- We read through the pages of an cient history where magnificent tomples were erected to preserve the ideal conceptions of the poet, printer and sculptor, Thus arose tho unrivalled beauty, grandeur and splendor of the pantheon, un equaled in beauty and symmetry of structure, grand and imposing, with the dust of centuries cluster, ing about it. If a spirit of patri otism intensified the genins of the mallet, trowel and the square in erecting this m igniftoent structure, to protect carved pieces of inani mate stone, made in shapeless im ages and in direct opposition to tho laws of GoJ, why is it that this humble ho no cannot he accepted to liqjida'e a d*bt of gratitude this state owes to the unfortunate coil- confederate soldier, who illustrated the manhood andchivaUy of Geor gia, “at a time when hope, for 1 season, bad* the world farewoll.’ In attempting language sublime I venture the ass trti in, that if the realization of tho wildest dream of Monte Cristo, tihged with the gleam of the most varied imagin ings of the human intellect, if the speculative geni is of a Croesus, NDMBISR of forgotten centuries; if all these wore tendore 1 today, they would lie powerless to purchase tlmbittor memories of tiieso boys, tvlt Avoro the gray. It is whispered fmn some parts of this state that this is a triok of Atlanta, that Atlanta receives « greater benefit than other seotions of this state, May I ask where was Atlanta in 1864? Her ashes were scattered to tho four winds of heaven, her boautiful structures were consumed by fire to appease the hate of a desperate enemy, and the light from that Infiogration brightened Ilia pathway to tho sea. Where aud wlmt is she today? 1’lto- enix-liko she has risen from tho ashes of defeat, tho pride of every Georgian, and the wonderful trans formation was wrought through the united efforts of those who wore tho blue and those who hon ored the grey. If such ho tho cause, creating any opposition to t^U'bill, lot us withold forovr the ’■fraignjitfent^of a few partisans if, ^n'foalty, thgro ara any residing b'eypito^ttHu iiuson nnd Dixin lino; v^-jpoulij; <v$r^proprjety guy to thenff that-the Ap'oti/mulism, burn in tho breast t jef> j yDur siros, and transraittedlo'Uyy’yonngor genera tion is a virtue\ Which Georgians pledge tbeir. lioarty co-operation in sustaining. Such a sentiment degrades tho memory of a dlstin - guished Georgian, whoso memory Georgians revere, and if I conld usurp the inspiration of the future artist and wear the chaplet of tho gifted sculptor. I would claim tho right to cltisol his name upon the highest pinnacle of fame and upon iiis monument in tlfis our capital city l would invoke the gleam of the morning sun to kiss his noble brow, and invite the departing shadows to reflect hack southern chivalry; I speak of tho soldiers' departed friend, tho lamented lien* ry W.
