Ait the recent annual meeting Of ths
Board Of Trustees of the Peabody Educa
tional Fund, held in New Y ork, President
Winthrop, in his annual address, alluded
to the loss the Board had sustained in the
death of General Grant. AT the conclu
sion of the address, our distinguished
townsman, Hon. a. Fl. H. Stuart. mem
Der of the Peabody Board. said
Mr.. CHAIRMAN, ~ hope shall not lie
regarded by my colleagues as officious or
obtrusive in moving that so much OF our
Chairman's Address as refers to the death
Of General Grant be referred to a Select
Committee of three, to consider and re-
port what action should be taken by the
Board in relation thereto.
General Grant, though q native and res
ldent of the North, in fact belonged 10
the whole country and it has seemed to
me that it would tend to give emphasis to
that fact if tile movement to do honor to
his memory were to come from aSonthern
man.
therefore, as a representative of Yir-
ginia,--a State which was under many OBJ
legations to General Grant, take the lib
erty of submitting that motion.
The motion was passed. and Messfs.
Stnalt Hayes and Manning were APP
pointed the Committee.
Subsequently, Mr.. Stuart, in behalf of
thu Committee, with accompanying reso-
utions. submitted the following Report
which were unanimously adopted, all the
members rising When the question Was put !:
