Continued from First Page,

The efficient cause of change in this
respect came with that terrific ordeal
war, when the world stood dshast at the
deadly assaults which for years were
made upon our city by the unlimited
forces of the most powerful nation on
earth.
How our beloved friends from the south
fastened to our aid, with that undaunted
courage. the foe was met face to face at
our very gates, and held at bay until half
a continent behind as had been overrun,
and those who had come from their south
ern homes to defend Virginia returned at
last to find a desoation equalled only by
that which had befallen Richmond, viii
be the ever-thriling theme of the historian
and poet for coming ages.
During the four years of war our people
had been united as closely as ever people
had been before in the history of the
world. In the field the men stood shoulder
to shoulder, class distinctions were ig~
nored and a man was recognized and
honored. not for his pedigree or college
training. but because ne was a mana
patricia hero.
AT home the women OF all classes were
united in a common sorrow and a common
purpose, and no women were ever so united
and SO determined. With hardly time to
wipe the tears for the unforsotten dead,
they busted themselves in nursing the
sick and wounded, and worked together Tor
the cause we all loved.
And SO from the furnace of war there
was moulded {. spirit OF unity which had
never before existed among our people
That terrible period had taught US all now
to think and act, to love and hate To-
gether.
For years after. her great catastrophe
Richmond was struggling up from ruins.
Nothing had been left TO her but burnt
ground and the remnant OF her heroic
sons and daughters.
When the work of restoration first
began, necessity drove each one to work
for himself Public spirit was smothered
for the time in the. ashes of desolatton
and despair. But there was this spirit
in the hearts of our people. and II only
needed an opportunity to assert itself
While this united spirit has shown
Itself in our political world and mas
produced what is still and long viii be
the Solid South, yet, in the field OF
Industry its beneficent effect has been
felt from the Potomac to the Rio Grande,
and the desolated South has, thank COD,

Nowhere has this spirit shown itself 10

COTTON MARKETS.

NEW YORK, May 14.-COTTON-There
WAS an active selling movement and q
heavy business was transacted in cotton
to-day. The opening call developed de-
cline of 3 to points under the pressure
of accumulated orders to liquidate long
oaccunts. while local sentiment was very
bearisil. Subsequent business increased
the decline TO S TO II points. The weak
ness was primarily due to exceptionally
fine weather and crop reports sent to the
other side. with the result Of unfavorabl$

cotton belt increased the disposition to-
sell and left the market without support,
except that which it received from the
shorts themselves whenever they covered.
The selling movement was quite general,
with Wail.street orders conspicuous
also quite heavy on the selling side. As
the session progressed, some Of the room
