ding in The vicinity Of the Manassas
and Bull Run battle-felds, who
have formed themselves into the
/" Manassas Memorial Associa-
ton They have for their object,
we are told, the Refinement Of
the Confederate dead, now scat
tered in groups and iii isolated
graves for many miles, and liable
soon to- be obliterated by the
ploWshare. We solicit aid from
our sisters and brothers. III the
South, and everywhere. Were
it not for poverty we would not
call upon you. ia order to have
them decentlY inferred and In
closed in our cemetery, some
$1,000 will be needed. Only five
thousand dollars The smallness
of the sum has its own eloquence.
Fortune has been no kinder to
the living than to the dead. It is
meet that those who are left, by
the abitrament Of war, rich Id little
else than graves and memories,
should be content, while they con-
tinue ia this condition, with the
cheapest, simplest and most unpre-
tending enshrinement of these
riches. Tn existing circumstances,
pretension to more than this would
be mockery. No costly mausoleum
or gorgeous cenotaph Is wanted to
emBlazon the glory of the dead, Oh
to attest the sorrow, gratitude and
admiration of the living. History
Is sure to take care Of the first,
and human nature itself must de-
cline from all that it has Of nobii-
ty before the last shall decay.
For the present, propriety sug-
gests what the ladies Of the Ma
nassas Memorial Association pro
pose to accomplish, the decent col
lection, interment, and inclosure of
the Confederate dead Of the two
battle-felds. The site of the pro-
posed cemetery, says a private
letter explaining the object Of the
assUciatIUn, f viii be equfdistant
between the two battle-felds, on
an eminence overlooking the sur
rounding country, and With q cor
rect diagram one could almost see
where each regiment fought and
poured out their life's blood for
constitutional liberty. Let not
the dull plowshare insult the for
loPn relics of the martial array
which iii that behalf moved 10
and sublimely into the
valley of death. And let these
scattered regiments Of the dead be
disposed in decent order, and rest
50 along with the cause which Is
sleeping with them. Tenderly,
solelnnlY, let the rites Of sepulture
be performed, but with no tri-
pomp for even their VIC
tories, judged By events as men
have shaped them, were failures,
and the ways Of Heaven, which
awards final victory and defeat,
are inscrutabie.
And it is also meet that to the
women OF the South, above ali,
be RENTED the Office Of
tehderly cherishing and enshrin-
ing such relies All that ii left of
the high hope and the heroic
endeavor which glorifed ~ many

disastrous issue. And. frankly,

set Id motion without the recognl-
lion Ia installation Of the other
The executive and judicial officers
elected last April.
III these elected officials are I'M
stalled they must constitute q pro-
Yisional government until the
other conditions of ratification are
performed And If it ID only a
provisional government which is
thus to be recognized, Will it not
be needful To hold another election
for tie permanent government I'M
der the constitutions
An affirmative answer To this
query would seem to be justified
BY the provisions Of the constitu-
tor relative to the election. The
qualifications Of voters and Of the
officers elected are determined and
prescribed by the reconstruction
acts, not by the constitution. These
qualifications are quite different
from those lii the constitution.
Persons are electors under the rel
construction act, who are not
electors under the constitution, and
Vice Ver8a. There is a different oath
of Office to tie taken under the two
acts. Ib will certainly be a very
anomalous state of affairs to allow
persons who are not voters under
The constitution to elect the officers
created by it. and even more SO To-
allow persons to fill the offices who
do not possess the qualifications
the constitution, prescribes.
Yet such must be the effect Of
regarding the persons elected ON
the 18th of April as the permanent
government under the constitution.
Difficult and embarrassing as these
questions are, there is one at least
before Gen. Buchanan which does
not seem to be involved in much
doubt, and that is, as to the eligi-
bility Of the officers elected to the
Offices Of the city Of New Orleans
In the April election. These offices
are not created by or provided for
iii the constitution. They are fully
provided for in d statute Of the
State. The election was held un-
der j military order and iii con
formity To the reconstruction acts.
The 5th section of the act Of "a of
March, 1857, permitted such cleo
ton, and provides for the installa-
ton of the persons elected. The
election Is a fact which the Dis
tlict Commander is required BY.
the law to recognize and enforce,
and is independent Of the ratifca-
ton Of the constitution.
The present incnmbents Of the
city offices who are military APP
pointees, are required by the 9Th
section of the act referred to, to
give place To those elected at every
election held under that act. It is
true these officers only comprise a
provisional government, for the
authority of the Military COM
mander continues over the District
until an the conditions for the rati-
Haa4inn ~ tho constitution are
complied with
The city officers differ from the
State and parish, In that the latter
only exist by virtue oil 4 constitu-
ton which il not ratified. The city
officers exist by virtue III an act Of
THE Legislature, which il in full
force without the constitution.
Whether that instrument ~ ever
ratified I'll not, tile city officers re-
main as they are constituted and
provided for by this act of tic
Legislature.

An exchange asks, "Do men in this

wear them in the same style as the cor

which we reply in the Affirmative.
There are numbers of young gentlemen
