Mr.. Davis's Remains

In addition to the open letter OF Mrs.
]. fferson Davis published yesterday, she has
written as follows to the Richmond commit
tee that waited on her:
Gen,lemau-Througb you return the
grateful acknowledgment of my children
and myself to President J. B Purcell and
the Chamber of commerce of Richmond, as
vel! as to the State OF Virginia, for The many
cordial utterspces they have made regard
ing ex-Presideut Davis. While he lived
and stvove with powerful foe their moral
support wss equal to tteir substantial aid
ard went very far towards strengthening
his soul for the conflict. unequal So it was.

The question OF the site for the maueoleum
aud for the monument ia now one OF absorb

gestIons are being made, but as Richmond
has said to Mrs. Davis that she would be
free to select any site che choss, nothing
will be done In this matter until she ls able

that Mrs Davis wishes the body to rest In

will prefer to have the monument also 10

Some time ago we were told that
the bonds issued fer paving Fifth
street from Newton avenue to Rich
ardson had all been sold and that the
contract was let to be completed this
fall. The contractors went ahead and
got the curb stone and it was all scat
tered along the route, and dressed and
ready to be put in place, Snen, presto,
the stone is all hauled away to the
Central Park district to help out the
side issues" up there and we are in
formed that we cannot have any paw
ing because the bonds for the Fifth
street paving could not be floated.
The wisdom for issuing bonds for that
piece of work at this time is debatable,
but that is neither here nor there, the
bonds having been issued and sold. as
everyone believes, the work should go
on. Of all the paving being done this
year, and the thousands of dollars be-
ing expended in that direction this end
Of the city is not getting one foot of
paving, except little very poor work
done in finishing up contracts which
should have been completed one and
two years ago. Now why is this in
famous discrimination against this
end of the city, In wet weather it is
almost impossible to drive to our depot
yet very little paving would give us
good road to this very important
point. We are getting little grading
done on Tenth street, but there was no
urgent demand for this and the money
might better have been put somewhere
else. Besides the influence supposed
to be Incorporated in our land com
pany, we have two usually wide awake
aldermen from this ward and one
member of the board of public works,
and the people have right to ask
why are we thus neglected." What
IS the use of having representatives in
the city administration if they can do
no good for the people they are sup
posed to represent? 1t is time the peo-
pie of the first ward revolted against
such treatment and the improper use
of the public funds.

with David Fitzgerald also of that

him and he struck at Fitzgerald with
a chair, but was Immediately seized.
He then went out and came back with
a Winchester rifle and aimed it at
Fitzgerald. but was disarmed before
he could pull the trigger. This was
not enough, however, for he pulled a
revolver. This time he was elected
from the place and his revolver was
taken from him. Fitzgerald came to

be put under bonds to keep the peace
