Tuesday was enc that will long be
( remefn Dered IN Dallas. The day dawn
/ Ell clear aud old Sol threw his golden
beams sthwart the land, seeming as
though he TOO would ad . to the festivi-
( ties Of the day. The city was aroused
/ from its slumbers by the rafting report
of fire crackeg, accompanied by the
shouts of numerous young America,
who doubtless thought that the success.
/ of the day depended upon the quantity
/ of powder they burned, aud the noise
! they made. TIE Older citizens caught
/ tie enthusiasm OF the boys, and soon
the principal corners on Main street
were filed with men and boys, firing
crackers and torpeipes, while they ex
pr ,ssed their approval OF matters
by yelling at each explosion OF the
fire works. Later in the day the toll
ing Of the church bells called many to
the houses of worship.
The principal feature of the
morning, however, WAS the re-
union of General Gano's brigade.
which occurred at the courthouse. at
ten o'clock. The Lamar Rifles met at
their srmory and marched down the
city to the courthouse to receive the
/ old war members of this gallant bril-
gade. The courtroom was packed by
dense crowd, eager to see the old
warriors and to hear the speeches In
eident to the occasion. General Gapo
made a stirring speech, after which
General Simon Bolivar Buckner, ia
nous, As one OF the leading confederate
generals during the war, spoke. He
was followed by others, who also had
taken an active part in the "lost
cause" The meeting was a success,
after which the old brigade repaired to
the LeGrand hotel, where q most
samptuous rerart was served, spiced
with the chit chat of old war times
and camp life.
The hotels set splendid tables which
were discussed in manner by the diff
fereDt guesra, that showed unmistak-
ably their hearty approval of such pro-
eeesfiugs
Everythsng YVES gayety and the
street scepes of he morning were re-.
peited Ger until the cup of happiness
seemed trimming over with joy. Old
men were bsys again, the cares of life
were thrown to the wind, and joy AMI

General Fitz. Lee, who was in this city
during the session of the Convention, when
informed by telegram Friday OF its result,
instantly remarked that ''while he regretted
so great an honor had not fallen to himself,
be rejoiced that it had been bestowed upon
one so worthy as Colonel Holiday" The
remark was as honorable to himself as 1t
was true regarding his more successful COM
petitor.. His numerous friends had endeav-
ored to confer upon him the highest honor
within the gift OF tue people of his State
and he would have been more than human
had he not regretted their failure, but back
OF himself he saw his State, and regard for
her honor and welfare made him rejoice
that her interests had been entrusted to
such faithful hands. The old Romans when
defeated in contest for office always re-
joiced that their fellow-citizens had been
able to find one more worthy OF IL than
themselves, and General Lee approxlmates
them as nearly as possible in these latter
days.-Aterandria Gazette.

Ran. fuckers Lynchburg Speech.

From the Nlrrlulan OF SundayJ
\ very large crowd assembled at the
Union depot saturday evening to meet the
delegates returning from the State Conven-
ton. \ band OF music was on hand, and
enliycned the occasion with stirring airs.
When the Virginia Midland train arrived,
Hon. John Randolph Tucker, who was on
his way to address the literary societies OF
the State Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lcge, was called on, and made y very
eloquent speech, which was frequently
interrupted with applause. lie said that
he svmpathiZed with the people OF Lynch
burg in their sorrow at the defeat OF
Major Daniel for the office OF Governor.
He (Tucker), though the lifelong friend OF
Colonel Holiday, had favored Major Daniel
because Of his bold and noble stand to pre-
serve the honor and credit OF old Virginia.
Though the office had fallen to another, the
glory OF the victory belonged TO Danlei.
Under his banner his friends had stood firm
and unmoved, like his great commander,
stonewall Jackson, in defence OF the good
name OF the State. Major Daniel, though
defeated, had shown himself to be the fore
most man in the Convention.
The great fight WAS over, and the battie
for Virginia'S integrity, honor. and pros
peritv had been won by Daniel and his
friends.
Some one in the crowd asked Mr.. Tucker
what he thought OF compromising the debt
to which he replied that he made no op-
position to fair compromise, but did
oppose anything like forcible adjustment.
Said he, would rather pay the last dollar
out OF my pocket than to see old Virginia
dishonored. We should inscribe on our
banners in this contest the words Of d" Stone
wall" Jackson addressed to friend: "Life
Is nothing without honor; death is better
than degradation He paid high tribute
to the splendid abilities OF Major Daniel,
and predicted for him a career OF great Use
fulncSs and honor.

It is fact extensively recognized that
Judge Lax in his nominating speech very
happily brought before bis auditors the
striking traits Of Colonel HOLIDAY which
especially fitted him for the office OF Gov
ernor. The discernment and discrimina-
ton which enables man to portray charac-
ter and present in bold relief its most prom
inent and commendable features is not COM
mon amongst either writers or orators. This
is it which makes Plutarch's Lives most
charming and instructive book to the
scholar. Judge LAY succeeded admirably in
thinning the character OF the Governor that
is to be, and 1t is no more than what is due
to him to say that his nomination speech is
generally applauded. a ess.
