''It is with mingled feelings of gratifica-
tion and regret that | have the honor,
Madam, of presenting to you this memorial
of the eX- Confederate soldiers OF Cincinnati.
1t is gratifying that we truthfully aud feel
ingly unite our voices in cOmmendation of
the lamented dead, with those of many
thousands Of a common people. The Occa-
sion which called for the South's sentiments
is painful in its recolleciiOns and as fully
deplored by the people OF the South as by
those Of any other section of the country.
The unanimiry with which these resolutions
were passed and the expressions conveyed
theredin speak more than any words of mine,
and sou can rest assured, Madam, that in
them is voiced the tribute of all the old
soldiers of the South to the sterling worth
OF the late President"
Mrs Garfield by great effort repressed
her emotion, while the aged mother OF the
late President wept freely. The late Presi-
DENTS widow, her voice trembling with
emotion, replied to the address of General
Witbers az follows:
"GBNTLEMEN-I am verv grateful to you

BRITAIN'S REALM.
BrRdlsugh Expelled-GTexG Meeting
of Master Cotton SPinners-Davitt
for Meath.

LONDON, February 22-Slr Stafford North
eote's motion, expelling Bradlaugh from
the House OF Commons was passed by a
vote of 29l to SO.
In the House of Commons Mr. Gladstone
this afternoon stated that Lord Randolph
ChurchilFs motion for eissue of a new writ
for NORTHAMPTON would relieve the House
from its difficulty, but, as Mr.. Brsdlaugh
mad not sat during the debate, his conduct
was not such as, according to the wording
OF the rules, would vacate his seat. Mr..
Gladstone adhered to his position, that
the House had acted beyond its power
In preventing Brsdlaugh from taking
the oath "But Brsdlsugh's conduct" he
said, ''was an set of fsgrant disobedience
to the House, but not TO the chair. Con-
sidertng the governments position through
out, Mr. Gladstone said, she had resolved to
leave the direction OF the question to the
msjority, giving it bis assistance as far ss
possible" Laughter from the ConseVra-
tives benchet1
Sir Stafford Northcote complained of the
conduct Of Mr.. Gladstone, but said It was
not for him toRssume a leaders duties
He therefore confined himself to moving, as
an amendment, that Bradlaugh be prevented
from entering rhe precincts of the House.
Lord Randolph Churchill declared this
would vote against it.
Lord Churchil's motion, that new writ
be issued for Northampton, was rejected
without division.
The motion of Mr.. Lyon (Liberal member
for Dublip). that Bradlaugh is guilty of pro-
fanatiOn, and is therefore incapable of sit
ting In the House of Commons, was with
drawn because OF legal objection to pro-
nounciDg on the question of qualification
nnriDn ~ e.
Labouchere demanded that Bradlaugh be
heard at the bar OF the House.
The House receiving this motion unfavor-
ably, BradlauRh passed the bar and took his
seat.
10 consequence of this fresh act OF disc.
bedieDce, and of Mr.. Gladstone refusing
to act, Sir Stafford Northcote withdrew his
first motion, and moved that Bradlaugh,
having disobeycd the chair, and being in
contempt of the House, be expelled.
Mr.. Gladstone supported this motion,
which was passed by a vote of 29I to 49,
Bradlaugh voted with tle minority. Mr.
Gladstone did not vote. Bradlaugh then
quietly left.
Upon motion of Sir Stafford Northcote
new writ for Northampton was ordered,
Mr.. LsbOuchere stating that Bradlaugh
would be a candidate.
Davitt and Patrick Egan were nominated
for Meath to-day to fill the seat in Parlia-
ment made vacant by the resignation of A.
M. Sullivan. Egan withdrew, and as no
opposition appeared Davitt was declared
duly elected.
