SOUTHERN COMMENTS.
Secretary Proctor's Reply to Mayor
Shakespeare Commended.

New ORLEANS December 9th.-There was no
demonstration to day of the crowds which
viewed the body of jeff. Davis lying in state at
the City Hall.
Many private dwellings are draped in mourn
ing. City officials say that under the peculiar
reply to Mayor Shakespeere's dispatch, ofici-
ally announcing the death Of Mr.. Davis was
very graceful, and written in kindly spirit.
The Picay,tne, commenting on the failure of
Secretary Proctor 10 take Official notice of the
death of Davis says:
We are strongly led to the conclusion that the
Secretary of Wsr so far from intending wrong,
has adopted what he believed, and what we be-
lieve was wise and conservative course in the
premises. Confederate veterans are very much
pleased with the ffaternal spirit which charac-
teTized the remarks of Captain Jacob Gray, of
the Grand Army of the Republic, made before
the Executive Committee Saturday night. On
that occasion he stated he would be proud as a
soldier of the United States to honor the illus
trious patriot soldier and statesman of the
South.
He could not forget that jefferson Davis had
been also so dier of the United States who
had rendered distinguished service, or fail to
recognize that he was q great and pure man.
Jefferson Davis should, as q gallant soldier, be
accorded q .oldiers burial with every show of
the proioundest respect and love of his people.
III it is agreed" continued Captain Gray,
"That the body of the dead ChiefLain shall be
borne into the cemetery upon the shoulders of
old veterans, J. as a representative of the Grand
Army of the Republic, shall certainly demand
to have the right to assist in the performance of
that sad and honorable duty 1t is learned
that all the army officers, while they cannot
take any official action in regard TO the death
of Mr.. Davis, have great respect for him as a
soldier and statesman. and Will attend the
funeral.

Forrest Makes a Strong Plea for the
Defendants.

CHICAGO December 9th.-Forrest resumed his
argument on behalf of the defense in the Cronin
case this morning He first dwelt on the danger
of relying implicitly on eircumstantial evidence.
Then he took up the quarrel between Cronin

Gael, and claimed that it was Irish hate which
was furnishing the remarkable evidence against

Forrest said the jury would be forced, under

Forrest bitterly scored the witnesses for the

analyze the testimony OF the various witnesses
for the State, claiming they all testified as II
