BOTH FLAGS ABOVE HIM.
"True to the Memories of the Past and
to the Duties of the Future"

New ORLEANS, Dec. IA mass meeting of
confederate veterans was held last night and
resolutions adopted mourning the death Of the
great chieftain and pledging themselves to pro-
vide fund for the family of the deceased and
to raise a monument to his memory Gov.
John b. Gordon Of Georgia presided and adj
dressed the meeting as follows: TO me, doubt
less to you, this is one OF the saddes yet sweet
est and proudest occasions Of a life time-sad-
dest because we have just borne to his tomb our
great chieftain; sweetest because we have laid
him to rest after lIfes fitful fever is over on
bed softer than was ever made by blooming
roses or pillow of down. We have buried him
with the blessings and honors and esteem and
affections OF grateful people. Let me add
that 1t was fitting that he should be laid to rest
with the flag OF the confederacy, which he
loved so well, folded about him living and
buried with him. The stars and stripes of the
republic for whose honor and defense he split
his blood waving over him. IL he could speak
TO US tonight L am sure his injunction would
be to remain true to the memories of the past
and no less true to the duties of the future and
the glory of our American republic. The grief
over his death is yours; but his fame will vet
be claimed for his country and mankind"
Gov. Gordon then urged that a fund should
be raised to build a monument to his memory
and provision made for Mrs. Davis and the
daughter of the confederacy," because il was a
holy duty to our own manhood and the highest
privilege left US. Addresses were also made by
Cows. Buckner of Kentucky, Lowry Of Missis-
sippi, FOwle of North Carolina. Eagle Of Arkan-
sas, Fleming Of Florida and Nichols Of Louis
lana and others.
CHARACTERISTIC LETTER
BosToN, Dec. l2-When Gen Grant was dy.
ing at Mt. McGregor the Boston Globe in
s.ructed its New Orleans correspondent 10 in
terview Jefferson Davis. Mr.. Davis was not
seen personally, but few days later he penned
the following letter:
Dear Sir: fourreques in behalf of Boston
journalist for me to prepare a criticism of Gen.
Grants military career cannot be complied
with for the following reasons:
First. Gen. Grant is dying.
Second Though he invaded our country il
was with an open hand and, as far as / know.
he abetted neither arson nor pillage and has
since the war, believe. shown no malignity 20
confederates either Of the military or civil
service.
Therefore, instead of seeking TO disturb the
quiet of his closing hours, would, if it we're in
my power, contribute to the peace OF his mind
and comfort Of his body.

A WARD FOR THE POLICE.
A Proposition That Has Grown Out of
Mr.. NOrment's Gift.

This morning Mr.. Reginald Fendall, chair
man Of the executive committee of the Gar
field hospital, sent to Mr.. Samuel Norment a
letter saying: "In behalf of the executive COM
mittee of the Garfield Memorial hospital I
take pleasure in acknowledging the receipt of
your check for $1,000 to be applied toward the
maintenance Of bed in this institution for
the use Of members Of the Metropolitan police
force in need Of medical and surgical treat
ment. Your suggestion that bed be set apart
in this hospital for this purpose has impressed
the executive committee so favorably that
they have decided to give the opportunity to
other friends Of our police force to add to your
generous gift sum sufficient to endow in per-
petuity one Of the private wards containing two
beds. The beds thus set apart to be occupied
by such members Of the force as the major and
superintendent may from time to time desie-
nate. Pending the completion of this arrange
ment for permanent endowment, the use of
one OF the beds in the private ward, selected by
the major and superintendent, has been au-
thorized by the committee and he so notified"
Mr.. Fendall sent letter Of similar purport

The Baltimore Post Office.

For several days past there has been no one
to see Postmaster General Wanamaker in re-
gard to the appointment of postmaster at
Baltimore. Today, however, John L. Thomas,
the ex-collector, called and had word to say
in behalf of Mr.. Johnston. A number of the
citizens OF Baltimore are anxious to have n new
postmaster when the new post Office build
ing is occupied in January next, SO
that there may be a new deal ali
around. 1t is not settled whether Mr.. Wana-
maker will take any action before the term of
the present incumbent expires, which will be
next May. The friends of some of the candi-
dates allege against Mr.. Creger, who is promi-
nently mentioned in connection with the ap-
pointnaent, that his friends in MARYLAND are

TO take proper measures TO prevent any public
