Resolutions Of the Late President
by Ex.Confederate Soldiers.
CLEVELAND. O.. Feb. 22.

CLEVELAND. O.. Feb. %.
c. A. Withers. James ID. Campbell, B. F.
Knife and Ferdinand Schwartz. q committee
appoint, BY the ex-confederate soldiers, res
iient in Cincinnati and vicinity, arrived in
Cleveland "Wednesday morning, bringing
with them the memorial tribute to James A.
Garfield, in the form OF eulogistic and SYM
pathetic resolutions engrossed on parchment,
and vari-coIored Tennessee marble highly
polished. and cut from single block about
two feet square, wiih the United States coat
of-arms in Mexican ONYX, inlaid at each
corner.
The committee called upon Mrs. Garfield,
selecting Wasbinyton's birthday as an ap-
propriate time. and formally presented the
testimonial. G.. A. Withers. formerly Adj's
General of Gen. ]. II. Morgan's staff. made
the following address:
at is with mingled feelings of qualification
and regret that have the honor, madam, Of
presenting To v"n This memorial of the ex-
confederate soldiers of Cincinnati. 1t is
gratifying that We can fru hfully and
feelingly unite our voices in communication
of the lamented with those of the many thou
sands of a common people. and the OCCASION
which called for such sentiments is painful
in its recollections and as fully deplOred by
the people of the South as BY those of any
section. The unanimity with which these
resolutions were passed, and the expressions
conveyed therein, speak more than words Of
nine. and vou can rest assured, madam, that
il them is voi, ed the tribute Of all the old
soldiers Of the South to the sterling worth of
the late President
Mrs Garfield with great effort depressed
her emotion willie the old mother Of
the late President wept violently. Both Ia
dies were clad in the deepest mourning. Mrs.
Garfield's voice trembed with emotion as
she replied to the address OF Gen. Withers
rs follows:
'.Gentlemen-I am very grateful to you
and those from whom this beautiful gift
Gomez, both for its sake and the sentiment ex-
pressed"
The two ladies then examined the memorial
gift and expressed their admiration Of the
frame. In the course of the conversation
whirh ensued MAJOR Withers remarked: We
want to show these Northern politicians that
we ex confederates are not as black as they
make us out. The younger Mrs. Garfield
responded: 1T had always been the Gen.
erals greatest wish that there be no North or
South. His earnest desire was to see q
united country and had he lived" here her
grief overcome her and the sentence was un-
finished. After a brief silence the courtesies
were exchanged and the visitors withdrew.
