LITTLE ROCK EXCITED.
Army Post to Be Garrisoned With
Colored Troops.

Little Rock, Ark, Nov. 27.-Lieuten-
ant ]. w. Phillips, commandant at Fort
Logan H. Root, received a telegram
last night from the war department no.
tifying him that a detachment from the
Twenty-fifth infantry would be sent to
this station to do garrison duty. This
information has created a sensation
among citizens generally, the trouble
growing out of the fact that soldiers
designated for duty here are negroes
A strong protest will be entered with
the war department by the state au-
thorsties and citizens against the occu-
patton of the post by colnred troops

CIVIL WAR TROPHIES.

The Confederate Veteran Camp Of NcwNOrk
has proposed plan for the disposition Of the
captured Confederate flags which is worthy Of
feeling Of common nationality. probably
stronger to-day than AZ any other time in our
history, has prompted the suggestion by Fed
eral veterans that the trophies which they
captured IN the Civil War should be returned 10
the friends Of those who bore thom. Those
flags long since ceased to proclaim pride Of con
quest on the part OF their possessors. What
ever feelings may hive been held for q few
years after the struggle. now the veterans who
most rejoice in pointing to a captured flag do it
not as gloatlng over foe. but as recalling the
memory Of some historic battle in which they
fought The offer TO give up these trophies is
the complete surrender Of all thought that they
will ever grace triumph. II the Confederate
veterans who might receive them 10 hide them
away at home are willing that they should still
remain with the authorities Of a united country
as historic relics. that disposition surely should
be satisfactory to those who took the flags in
an effort to preserve the Government Of that
common country.
The New-YOrk Confederate veterans propose
that not only the captured fags but all such
emblems and trophies Of either side In the
Civil War as may be offered from any quarter,
shall be collected and preserved in n National
depository ut Warrington. to be established by
appropriate Legislation. Thus would the ban

The committee which already numbers more
than five hundred members, has been recruited
largely chiefly we might say from among the
nobility and what Mr. Gladstone termed 'thc
classes" That is most significant. There was
never doubt that the common people Of Eng
land were friendly 10 this country. The doubt
has been concerning the aristocracy. which, In
decd. was not long ago known To he in great
part far lcss kindly disposed toward US ihan
the democracy. With dukes and carls consplc-
mons and numerous on this committee, II is
made evident that the classes are rapidly be-

Dissenters Minister'S now IN Office are OF
course excluded from membership but the
presence Of forty or more leading Members OF
Parliament OF all parties, excepting the Irish
Nntionnlists who are bitterly opposed to the
whole movement, Is sufficient proof Of the feel
ing in high political circles.
The object OF this committee is also cx-
planned by Mr.. Ford. Ii is not to work for
formal alliance or a diplomatic combination OF
any sort-not even, we suppose for general
arbitration treaty All such matters II prop
erly leaves to the Governments Of the two coun-
