Particularly graceful among the eulo-
gies delivered in the House yesterday upon
the life and services of the late Congress
man Post, of Illinois, was that of Mr.
Clarke, of Alabama, an ex-Confederate
soldier. In closing, he said:
Il have alluded to the honor and esteem
in which he was held on this democratic
side) side OF the House. With the old
Confederate soldiers here, there was
genuine and hearty liking. They felt
genuine and hearty likening. They felt
| that no thought, word, or vote of his was
actuated by any sectional bitterness.
He had been a magnificent enemy in
war; he was a sincere friend in peace.
Humanity aud his country are the better
that he has lived-the poorer that an
untimely death has stilled wise brain, a
brave soul, and kind heart"
