procession.
LARGE PROCESSION.
These and the military from this city and
State and from other States, together with
the various civic. religious and social so
cieties aad the public at large. viii combine
TO form funeral procession such as has
never been seen in the South and rarely
anywhere in the country, and the beauty
about all the vast gathering is that il is the
spontaneous Outburst Of love and adtnira-
tiOn for man who represented a
great principle of constitutional right. and
who. if only the leader in Lost Cause
is still even in death the representative
and embodiment Of a principle which,
though Of a time defeated, Will never be
surrendered by the American people until
they are ready TO surrender their liberties.
When one Of the heroes of the North dies
and is buried, hOnors are paid him from
more or less sefishness Of motive; but in
the case Of Jefferson Davis. whom to honor
is to court dsfav0r with the powers that be,
the tribute to be shown his memory to-mor-
row represents the unselish love, devotion
and admiration Of "a whole people, who,
like the man they honor, are yet noble IN
their defeat.
MARKED CONTRAST.
One thing particularly noticeable ts-day
was that while flags were everywhere a
flying at half mast from hundreds ana hun
dreds Of houses in the city, those on the
Government buildings. i'm marked contrast,
were flung high up TO the breeze. Many
were the comments that if the Government
was not magnanim0us enough to respect
its once hOnored servant, who had done as
much TO reflect lustre on the American
name rs any one who has died since the
war. il might at least have respected the
feelings of the Southern states and this
community by not displaying its flag at all
until the last rites were over.
MRS. DAVIS.
Mrs. Davis. who has been subjected TO a
terrible mental and physical strain, is
somewhat more composed and il is prob
able she will attend the ceremonies t0-mor-
row. at least in the City Hail. Mrs. Hayes.
her eldest daughter. is also here. and she,
too, bears up wonderfully, especially when
il is considered that. in addition to her
other burdens. her husband has been taken
quite i'll. and she is busy nursing him.
