The recapture Of Richmond by the Con-
federatcs yesterday was a grand success.
No event, indeed since the war has called
together such "a large and representative
assembly of southern men. General Lee
was universally beloved. and the throng
about bis statue was limited only by the
number Of his admirers and their ability to
reach the spot.
Nature never did more for pm bic gath
ering. The skies were without a cloud,
and the temperature balmy as spring could
make it. Richmond was at its best in fiow-
ers and flags, and the crowd which surged
through its streets was the largest and
bcst-natured. perhaps, which ever assem-
bled in any southern city. The feeling was
prevalent throug hout the South that this
was the last time that the survivors of the
Confectionery would ever meet in any con-
siderable numbers. Their desire, there
fore. was all the more intense to take part
III tins signal honor TO thegreat representa-
tive Of the Lost Cause"
In point OF numbers, enthusiasm, and
true affection for General Lee this tribute
TO his memory lacked nothing. The long
parade of military and civic bodies, the
applauding spectators. ana the ceremonies
AT the monument were all in keeping with
the purpose which called them forth. lt
was not mere oulogy TO the dead in mar
lltl Slfull anu LiEtl--DuullnB pAAlhN' buO
an outburst of Nirginia's loyalty to one Of
her most eminent sons. In all respects it
was grand and inspiring spectacle.
1t was inevitable that Richmond should
be crowded 10 suhocation, and that Its re-
sources should be taxed 10 the utmost TO
feed the throngs which crowded to its
doors. The proyerbial hospitality of the
South has received another illustration of
its unstinted and cordial character, for
every effort was put forth that could be
expected for the comfort and convenience
Of all.
Thus has closed a significant event in
the history of our country, in which the
conquered enemy received the honor due
him as a man, warrior, and citizen,
without regard to the principles for which
no stood aud the cause for which he fought
a mastery fight. Truly, peace as well as
war has its significant and glorious yicto-

There was the expected display OF Con-
fedcrate flags and Confederate uniforms;

there were no demonstrations that heeu

il is fair to say that the South had a worthy

The decorations are indeed both lavish
and grand ON every building along the en-
tire line of march, making It one OF the
most beautiful displays OF the decorative
art ever gaZed upon.
Each one as the hours progress sees oil
that he can see, enjoys all that he can en-
ioy. but so much IS going on to enthuse
and please that no one can take III Ind-
honth part of the pleasure and gratihca-
ton that everywhere abounds.
The Lee-Nlonument restaurant on Nam

and each and all are sumptuously fed prea
sents a veritable miracle as to how tht
food is procured; the choicest vlanus the

been expressed to-day, your famed and

vided for, does not set better table than
is provided three times day tor the Vete;

A RADICAL LIE.


philadelphia North American, hepuDhcanI
But if such u man as Robert f. Lee may
properly be canoniZed and held up as
model to Americanyouth,w what rs to hinder
the rehabilitation Of such a man as Benedict
Arnoldf We need not be mealy- mouthed
or pick and choose words III dealing with
mon who betray their trusts. Benedict
Arnold betrayed a trust and has never bad
an apologist in the section where he was
born. He ought not 10 have an apologst
anywhere. Robert T.. Lee betrayed his trust.
He betrayed il without iot OF excuse.
Arnold had grievance, but Leo
had none Arnold was not educated
bv the Government and employed at
good pay from his youth mp to middle age.
Lee was a beneficiary of his Government
from youth to middle age. He bad never
been denied recognition or credit for any
thing done in the line Of duty. Arnold
laid his complaint before the authorities.
and being ignored, meanly betrayed his
trust forrevenge and pay. Lee was great
soldier. So was Arnold. who showed fully
as much military genius as Lee did. New
England will never unveil statue TO Bene-
dict Arnold. There Is not a man in all that
region who thinks Of Arnold's great mill
tary genius. New Englanders only re-
member that he was traitor. They may
execrate his memory; they Will mover
canOnl2e him.

Now York Tribune, Kepublican.

The Tribune has never hesitated on fit
ting occasions 20 dcnOunce dislOyal acts
aud tendencies in the South; and it will con-
tinue TO do 50, if need be. in the future.
But for that very reason il may fairly
claim the right TO defend the South when
II u unjustly assailcd, as in our opinion it
has been in connection with the ceremony
OF unvelling the Lee monument yesterday
IN Richmond That the people Of the
South should delight 20 honor the memory
Of that great and popular leader need not
and does not reflect on their loyalty in
the slightest degree. II is true that nu-
merOus Confederate flags were flung to
the breeze yesterday in the quandom Con-
toderate capital: and there we're q great
many things said about the Lost Cause the
good taste of which might be questioned.
But there was no hint of disloyalty TO the
Union from the beginning 20 the end Of
the celebration, and we are sure there was
no thought Of disloyaity in the hearts Of
those who took part in 1t. On this dav,
sacred TO the memory Of the loyal dead we
can well afford TO be generous to those who
were once armed against the nation but
who are nOwan integral part OF that nation.
If the South Loyalty accepts the verdict Of
the war. M it is doing, the North will not
criticise it FOR honoring the memory of its
fallen chIeftaIns. or even for occasionally
bringing out it's old flags, which to en-
l'ghteucd southerners to-day are no longer
emblems Of treason, but the SOQcenirs of d
gigantic mistake.

PECULIARLY YELrcrrous.


The address OF Colonel Archer Anderson
at the nnyeiling Of the Lee statue in Rich
mond viii be disappointment no doubt
20 those at the North, but happily few in
number who hoped TO find IN its eloquent
periods some thoughts or uttefances upon
which 20 frame n new indictment for
treason against the South, or at least such
glorifcation OF the Lost Cause as 10 pro-
yoke q renewal Of sectional strife and
harsh measures Of repression in the halls
of legislation.
IL is quite 10 the contrary. however. and
even those who cannot agree With the
speaker IN oil his sentiments are ready 10
admit that the orator was in peculiar and
fellcitous degree worthy Of the occasion.
Colonel Anderson was not called upon TO
revive or even to defend the Confederate
cause, but 10 pronounce a decorous and
betting eulogy Of the man most promi-
nently identified with that cause as NH
t0ry leader, and who otherwise exempli6ed
in his daily life and conversation the high
est and best qualities OF American nobility.
The orator does not disguise his synpa-
thics with the secession movement; he
goes so far as 10 refer 10 IL incidentally as
righteous cause" but he ia evidently
not Of the opinion that it il still living
issue, and he carefully rcfrains from any
declaration upon which such an interpre-
tatiOn might be put. Like Lee he has

been finally answered -" that tie unity
OF the American people has been irreyoca-
