H.R. Ill'KIt, RiiNlnis* Manager, According to tl.e News, a goat started a (ire in Savannah yesterday. Congress ought to tackle the loca tion of the World’s fair. No time should bo lost in locating it. It will require hustling to get ready for it. The President has appointed Judge Brewer, of Kansas, to the vacancy on the Supreme bench. This leaves his partner, Miller, out. The republicans will lower flags for Belknap, the ex secretary of war, who stands self convicted of ciiuies which should have lauded him in the peni tentiary, but the colors were not dropp ed for ex-Secrclary of War Jcflerson Davis, whose spotless record and de votion to constitutional liberty, marks him as oue of the great men of the country. Well, the dead states man cannot be hurt by the slight; but this detracts nothing from the narrowness of the republicans. Mrs- Davis Thanks Friends. New Orleans, Dec. 8.—The fol lowing is self-explanatory: New Orleans, Dec. 7, ’80. Agc.it of iiic Associated Press: Dear Sir :—Will you have the kindness to say for me, through the Assoc'ated Press, that it will he a physical impossibility for me to answer the thousands of telegrams of condolence that have poured in from all parts of the United States. I therefore take this means of express ing my appreciation of the profound sympathy exhibited by so many ol Mr. Davis’ friends to bis bereaved and grateful family. \ cry respect fully yours, Yarina Howell Davis. In Memoriam. “He is gone who was so great. Gone; but nothing could or can be reave him of the love he made his own.” To-morrow, in all the cities and villages in the south memorial ser vices wdl be he'd in honor of -he great chieftain who stood at the head of the “Lost Cause” while it was some thing more than a name, and who, since it went down amid the smoke and roar of battle, has s ood as a mark for the bitterness of our enemies This is meet and proper. The rap’dly hurrying years are fast removing the men who took part in the great struggle, and when Jefferson Davis died, ; n the hush a"d quiet of the early morning horns, the grand central figure ol the greatest of mod ern wars passed away. To-morrow his remains will be laid away under the soil of In's own south land, and tears will fall from the eyes of all his people. The Tjmes-Enierprise suggests that a meetmg of the citizens be held to-day at twelve o’clock in the city hall, to arrange a programme for memorial services. Doubtless the opera house will be tendered by its courteous manager, and no better place can be found for the holding of the services. It is also suggested that the business houses be closed from 12 till 2, while the services arc being held, and that all the church bells in the city be tolled. A concerted move has been started to raise a fund for the wife and daugh ler of the departed hero, and no belter time can be than at the close ot the services to-morrow. Hon. Robert G. Mitchell has been named as chairman for the committee for this senatorial district, and he will receive and for ward to the proper parties as much as our people will give. The care of the widow and daughter of our dead leader is a sacred trust to the south, and one that will be met and discharged. No grander epitaph could be inscribed over the immortal dead than the words: "He served his couiry feithfulty, stood at the head of his people fearlessly, and ihough mil y < HORROCKS. CONTRACTOR and builder, ty.” But now that wife and daughter have lost the fostering care of husband and father, let the people see to it that their future is placed beyond the reach of uneasiness and want. Go out to the meeting to day, and attend the memorial services to mor row from 12 to 2. An Atlanta Company Going. Atlanta, Ga., Dec. 8.—The Gate City Guards to-day determined to at tend the funeral of Mr. Davis. » .Earthquakes in Italy. Rome, Dec. 8.—Esirtqunkc shocks, felt to-day in the central portion of Italy, caused no loss of life or damage to property. Mount Vesuvius is in a state of eruption. When being urged by his wife to take some medicine, a short time before his death, Mr. Davis replied in a whisper: “Pray excuse me. These were the last words lie uttered. Tliomanrillcy Oa.
