Arrangement for the Decoration Of their
Graves.
Meeting at the Law Court Room Last
Evening.

Pursuaut to the call published in the
CITY papers for several days past, a large
number Of ex-Federal officers and sol
diers assembled yesterday afternoon IN
the Law Court room, In the Greenlaw
Opera House building, at 3 O'Clock.
The meeting was called together py
Jesse b. Woodward, Esq, who put IN
nomination for chairman DR.. .. J..
Quinby.
The nomination was adopted unani-
mously, and the Doctor took the chair.
On doing 70 he stated the object OF the
meeting, viz: To TAX into consideration
the subject of the decoration Of the graves
Of the Union soldiers, buried in he Ma
tional Cemetery, near the city.
General Patterson moved that a com
mittee of i've be appointed TO confer with
the Grand Army OF he Republic 70 de-
wise some Joint action toward a peTmd-
nent decoration of the soldiers graves.
Gen. Patterson accompanied bis resOlu-
ton with some very appropriate remarks,
showing the futility-Or at least the i'm
~practicabiiity without great expense) or
appropriately decking SO large an area
with dOwers-which, after all, would be
put tr~ansitory. He wished some last
ing ornament, such as shrubs and ever
greens. He proposed that the same comz
mittse should confer with such friends
and relatives OF the soldiers buried in the
cemetery, as may reside outside the
limits of the State, and solicit sub
scriptions from them toward defray-
ing the expenses of such -Ornamentation.
The motion was adopted, and the Chair
appointed the following gentlemen on the
COMMITTEES: Judge James o. Pierce,
Jesse B. Woodward, II. e. Dix, Esq, Col.
8. B. Beaumont, and Captain All Mat
thias.
On motion Of J. B. Woodward, the same
COMMITTEES were appointed to confer with
a comm ttee from the c.. A. r., TO take
into consideration the subject Of the an
nual floral offering On the 3Oth Of May
next.
The meeting then adjourned.
Immediately afterward the COMMITTEES
met In the ex-SheriPs office, with several
Of the G. A. RS, and commenced ar
ranging a programme. The result will be
published as soon as determined upon.

CONVENTION.
its Organization To-day at Jackson, Tenn
About Sons Of the Delegates.

4 Convention Of the Episcopal Church
O. Tennessee, will be commenced to-day
at Jackson, Tenn. It will be
composed OF delegates from the
forty or more parishes into
which the State is divided. These dele
gates consist of the rector Cor PASTOR of
each church, snd from one to three lay
men, according to the numerical strength
of each parish. It Is expected that this
will be one of the most interesting of the
many conventions Of this church held in
this state. Within the past year it has
made rapid progress. Many church edihces
have been built, and new congregations
projected, and the charities for which the
Episcopal In common with other churches
are conspicuous, have been greatly ex-
tended and enlarged. 1t is expected hat
the pastoral address Of Bishop Quintard
viii set forth a most gratifying progress.
and that the distinguished laymen pres
ent will assist in the development of plans
for future prosperity. Among these latter
there will be found many eminent mem
bers Of the bar of Tennessee, aud many
eminent in political life. In the latter
category, and most conspicuous, will be
found ex-President Jefferson Davis,
who IL in attendance az q repre-
sentative of st. Lazarus Church of this
CITY. Since his residence in Memphis as
the President of the Carolina Life Insu-
rance Company, Mr.. Davis has attached
hinrAIf to this young but hourishing
parish, now under the charge of the ven
erable DIR. Wheat, and has manifested
great interest in its affairs. he has given
Of his advice, and now proposes 70 share
his time in the direction or its temporal
affairs. He believes in the performances
of every duty assigned him, and so sets
an example to those who regard him, and
not without occasion, as an exemplar In
all the affairs of life. Beside Mr.. Davis,
there will be present Mr.. +. @. FOgg, Of
Nashville, and Mr.. W. II. stephens and
Mr.. +. w. Smith, of Memphis, gentlemen
who have been conspicuous for many
years as among the leading laymen OF the
Episcopal Church in Tennessee. Bishop
Quintard, by virtue of his position in the
church, will preside over the deliberations,
reports of which we win publish, by special
arrangement, from day to day.
