A SHAM BATTLE.
Views of Gov. Mckinney.

The Richmond correspondent gives some
of the views of Gov. Mckinney under date
of May 2esh as folIows:-
"Governor Mckinney, as is well-known,
is one of the original, perhaps the first ous.
spoken advocate on the hastings of the re
peal of the tobacco tax. He says the tax
should be repealed because it compels the
manufacturer to make large outlay fol-
stamps, on which he gets no interest, ant
which is a prohibitive tax on small dealers
If there was no government revenue tx
there would be many more small manuf.c-
turers, and the large manufacturers 3m't
want the repeal because it would crate
competition and raise the price of the raw
product. 1t is because of this bereft to
agriculture that the farmers want tb re-
peal. Governor Mckinney consif. rs that
the farmers are the class just now needing
the most aid. All their acres Sinot be
converted into town lots and O. "a by the
front foot, though there is live boom in
this sort of business in many Qualities, too
much, it is feared, for the subtantial good
of everybody. 1t is not expected that the
reassessment of property this rear will make
as good showing as was exp eted, because
it will not take in some local les where sub
stantial development has sone on subse-
quent to the rounds Of the assessors, nota-
bly, in the case of the new gwn of Glasgow,
near the Natural Bridge which is going
ahead with wonderful st sses.
The race question, G Mckinney says,
will take care of itself All that need be
done is to let it alone Fhe best friends of
the negro everywhere would realize the
force of this if they coud see the ample pro
visions made in Richnond especially for
their education and tbe training of colored
teachers to control tn.ir own schools. The
system for the educsEion of the race in the
whole State is On "a most liberal basis, and
some of the othsr institutions provided for
them, notably ,ha college in Chesterfield
county and ;uei asylum for the insane at
Petersburg, sre pointed out with pride and
sati faction ~ all Virginians as convincing
testimony # the generous spirit OF the
whites towsd the colored population. The
negroes are being extensively employed in
mining ard railroad construction. Their
gregariou instincts cause them to prefer
these line CT labor, and they like the tobac-
co factories for the same reasan. 1t does
not appar so far that the industrial de-
velopmjnt of the State has caused the intro
ductior of skilled white labor in unusual
NUMBERS, though it is expected to do so 10

THE ORATOR PRESENTED.
After the Stonewall Band had played
"Dixie" Gen. Early introduced Col. Archer
Anderson, the orator of the day, as follows:
Friends, Fellow Citizens, and Comrades,
1t has been twenty years since a meeting
of Confederate soldiers was held in the city
of Richmond, which was presided over by
the illustrious President of the Confsder
acy, az which steps were taken for the pur-
pose OF erecting monument to the mem
DRY of our great Commander. 1t was not
that such a monument was necessary to
perpetuate his fame, but to show the men
who had followed him how worthy have
been the followers of Robert E Lee.
That illustrious President is not here on
this occasion to witness tribute to the mem
DRY of his friend.
1t is not my purpose to make speech. l
want to assure you now that l am glad to
meet the survivors and my old comrades.
Amongst them / greet most heartily the
private soldiers, who did their duty during
the war, never deserted during the war, and
have been doing their duty and remained
faithful since the war.
That man who is private soldier is
equal to the highest in rank, and can take
him by the hand most cordially, and greet
him as my comrade and soldier.
am glad to find so many of them here
But, gentlemen, did not rise for the pug
pose of making a speech. A wise man.

For what follows we are indebted to the
full report of the Richmond Dispatch:
GOVERNOR M'KINNEY.
The procession did not all reach the
grounds until after O'Clock, but at 3.45
Gov. Mckinney arose and called the vast
assemblage to order. He spoke as follows:
As chairman of the Lee Monument Asso-
citation it becomes my duty to call this
meeting to order, and on the behalf of that
organization to express its qualification at
this vast assemblsge of fair women and
brave men who have come to witness the
consummatiop of its lsbors, to do honor TO
the memory of Robert e. Lee, aud give to
them cordial welcome.
With no disloyalty in our hearts to the
Government under which we live and with
no desire to awaken or perpetuate old aoi-
mosities, we come with sacred memory for
our cause which is lost, with love aud adj
miration for our dear ones who have fallen
which is unconquerable and eternal. This
is the feeling Of the southern people. Same
will condemn us-they may as well find
fault with natures God because He kisses
Confederate graves with showers end smiles
upon them with His sunshine and garlands
them with flowers. It's evidenced by this
great gathering from every State Of the
| Confederacy.
Texas, the most remote, Is represented
by her gallant soldiers who fought under
Lee and Jackson, commanded by one who
was loyal to the Confederacy while it lived
ard who loves its memory still-a member

The imposing ceremonies had now reach
ed their climax. The yells of $4,000 or
100, 900 people. the roar of the cannon, and
the thunder of the muskets greeted the ap-

Hats and handkerchiefs were thrown into
the air as such was never seen before.
