The Government Takes no Official
Recognition of the Death.
WASHINGTON, Dec 6.-The war depart
ment up to noon to-day had not officially
been informed of the death of jefferson
Davis, and had taken no action with re-
spect to it. A large oil painting of the
deceased hangs on the wall of the chief
clerks room, which Immediately adioins
the Office of the secretary. 1t is surrounded
by portraits of other secretaries, including
hon. Simon Cameron, Gen. Schofeld, and
MeSsrs. Floyd and Conrad 1t bears the
following inscriptions: Jefferson Davis.
Secretary of War. 1851" This was
under President Pierce's administration.
THE FLAG NOT LOWERED.
There was no Grape about the portrait,
and the flag over the building, which has
always been at half-mast on the death of an
ex-secretary. to-day hoated in a good
breeze from its usual place at the top Of the
staff
Secretary Proctor was seen this morning
and asked what course the department
would pursue in regard to Mr.. Davis
death. He said: Il see no occasion for anV
action whatever. 1t would subserve no
good purpose that / can see. 1t is better to
let the matter rest in oblivious sleep if it
Will and relegate it to the past, than to do
anything that would revive memories best
forgotten"
Several army officers, in talking about
the case, approved the secretary's de-
termination to ignore the whole matter
and SAID there was really no other course
10 take, in view of the fact that The citizen
ship Of Mr.. Davis had never been restored.

''Mr. Davis was greatly misjudged in
IEany WAYS He was the most deyout
christian / ever knew, and a most self
sacrificing man. When his plantation was
in danger Of being seized aad his property
destroyed, he was urged by friends to send
force Of men TO protect 1t. The Presi-
dent OF the confederacy,' he responded,
cannot afford 10 use public means to pre-
serve private interests, and cannot employ
men to take care of my property, aud so,
when his hill property, in Kinds county, was
thTeateled. and all his books and papers were
in danger of destruction, ne again resisted
all persuasion Of friends to have them pro-
tected." Senator Reagan said he know
nothing about the intention Of the southern
members of congress, whether or not any
Of them would attend the funeral, es at
