In those days frotssedus were mode

General Anderson's Views.
General Anderson said yesterday that
while lac was not @ member Of the CON-
mittee he was deeply interested in seeing
that the Davis monument should be not
only grand one but popular recog-
milton OF the man who was the eMbodi-
ment OF tho Southern Cause. His ideas
might DO somewhat utopian. but he held
them nevertheless. He thought that
the foundation OF the monume of
should be laid on broad basis by kIcn-
mond and Virginia, TO the end that the
other southern States could come TO Vir-
'ginia with the assurance that il would be
a southern national tribute characteristic
OF and representative OF the Southland.
lie believed that every one ia Virginia
would desire 10 contribute TO IT, and there
fore would suggest the passage by the Le-
gislature Of an act making 1t the duty Of
the treasurer OF each county 10 afford
every one in his county the opportunity to
contribute his or her mite to the fund.
TO ESTABLISH A SYSTEM.
lie would carefully guard against the
impressions obtaining tnat the Legisla-
ture considered it obligatory upon any
one 10 subscribe. the whole design of the
act being 10 establish system that would
place il in the power Of every citizen to
contribute if be desired to do SO, and that
through q bonded officer who would DO
paid a commission on his collections. IL
might he the understanding that tho
books in the hands OF the treasurers were
for subscriptions of "a fixed sum-say a
dollar or LEGS. This would not prevent
States, corporations. and individuals from
contributing as much as they wanted 10.
QUESTION or LOCATION.
Referring, to TIE location Of the monu-
ment. General Anderson said he, of course,
had no authority to speak. The matter OF
location would. he presumed, he presented
in all its lights to Mrs. Davis by the COM
uittce. HIS individual opinion was, how
ever, that il should be at some central
point in the city, and there should be
plenty Of room around 1t. 1t should DO
remembered that TINS was not an affair OF
Virginia alone. but of the whole South.
