THE last sad tributes Of respect we're
paid 10 the memory Of First Lieutenant
John A. Mckinney last Sabbath afler-
noon. The services we're conducted at
St. Lazarus BY Rev. DR.. Parsons. The
little church was filed with sympathetic
mourners, many of whom knew the de-
ceased we'll, while others only knew. him
BY reputation, as he left here when
young. The assembly was larger than
usually seer on such an occasion
in u city. The streets were
lined with people, although the weather
was bitter cold. All manifested a re-
spectful interest in the proceedings, in
spired by sympathy and deep regret.
The funeral grafton was touchingly beau
tiiul, and moved maRy to tears unused
to weeping. The demonstration was
spontaneous and heartfelt, and was cred
table alike to the living as deserved by
the gallant dead. Ali that was possible
in expressions Of sorrow and respect to
his memory has been done most 6ttingly
by our people. He was laid il his last
resting place as be fell, amid a pitiless
wintry scene and volleys Of musketry.

THE SOUTH.
speech OF a GemPhian at Phiiadsl-
phia ON tne aouIh and Her Desire
fer Peace.

@a--
speech OF n EemPhiau at Phiiadsl.
phta on tue 2Outh and Her Desire
for Peace.
The Philadelphia Commonwealth, of
the 18th inst, contains the following
account Of a speech made in that city
by our fellow.citizen, Colonel Joe Bar
biere. The Commonwealth says:
The following isl brief synopsis OF
the speech delivered by Colonel Barbiere,
of Memphis, Tenn, OF the Democratic
dinner, at the Markoe House, on the
evening Of the 30th ult., and is extremely
apropos at this time. Colonel Barbiere
said:
THAT the South bad fought the battles
Of the late war strictly upon the princi.
pie Of State rights, and in their defeat
through the arbitrament of arms, the
weakest weapon they could have used,
they have reached the conclusion OF sub
mission to that determination, and had
accepted in good faith the sequences Of
their discontinue. He believed the
Southern people to be honest aud faith
ial to their pledges, and said that the
gentlemen of the South, true to their
promises, would never draw their swords,
unless prompted by a desire to save the
Union and preserve i~nviolAte the integ-
rity of the national honor.
"He next said that be could readily
explain why the South had C~onfe6erates
in Congress. The South sent her best
men as q rule into the army. When the
time arrived these gentlemen were not
sent to Washington in virtue Of their
former position in the service Of the late
Confederate States as representatives OF
the people, but because they we're the
most competent persons who could be
relied upon to meet the ~exigencies that
we're involved in the new order of things.
The speaker then feelingly and glow
ingly alluded to the utilization between
the freedman and bis former master; Of
the generosity and attachments Of the
old-time colored servant, and of the debt
| of gratitude due the colored man by the
Southern citizens for the behavior of the
colored man during the war in his sub
ordination to order, and his solicitude ioT
the families of these ScItheFners who
had followed the fortunes IF Lee and
Jackson 10 their Efforts to maintain the
sovereignty of the States. Colonel Bar
biere spoke quite cheerfully Of the fu-
ture, had confidence in the American
people, and believed that in less than
ninety days peace and prosperity would
again gladden. our people. he also be-
lieved that hundreds OF Republicans had
voted the Democratic ticket, not as g
partisan, but from q higher motive, that
Of preserving an Interstate balance"
As a whole, the speech was well timed,
emioeutly conservative in tone, and was
frequently interrupted By applause. Col.
BarDiere, while true to his Democratic
instincts, is q liberal, conservative gen.
tleman, whose presence in our midst does
more toward alternating social and politi.
cal prejudice than a volume of ine spun
theories.
