Gathright, of Louisville, Ky.
Army Of Tennessee-N. D. Forest, OF
Memphis, Tenn.

D. Buckner, Of Arkansas.
The constitution was amended to ex-
clude the use by officers of the organiza-
ton Of military titles used by Confed-
crate veterans. Thus Mr.. Stone is COM
mander-in-chfef but will not be allowed
the title of general.
A motion to amend the constitution in
a way which, it was said, would let
down the bars in regard to receiving or
few members, was voted down. A uni
form Of Confederate gray, with shoulder
knots of white, was adopted.
In the contest for commander-in-chief,
the name of Bishop Gaylor of Memphis,
was not presented, as he refused absolute
5ly to run unless assured beforehand that
there would be no contest. This left the
fight to Mr.. Stone, w. McClelland and w.
Faysoux, Of New Orleans. After the first
ballot. which was considerably in Mr..
Stones favor, the New Orleans man, in
a neat speech, withdrew his name and
Mr.. Stones election was made unani-s
nous.
Judge Reagan the acknowledgements
of jeff Davis cabinet, was a guest at the
meeting, and made a speech on political
economy, which was heartily applauded.
It was the first speech of the old South
erner since he has been at the reunion
To-days meeting practically cleared up
the business of the convention. Only a
few matters remain to be disposed Of to-
morrow.
