pr. MckiIrs Beautiful Address.

''Comrades. standing here at the foot of that unseen column reared by the yalor and the virtue of the citizen sol ders of the armies of the south, l feel that a duty is laid upon me which l may not refuse to perform. From the hills and valleys of more than hundred bat tlefields where sleep the silent battalions in gray there rises to our ear solemn voice of command which l dare not dis obey. It bids me vindieate in the name of this generation the course which the men of the south followed In the crisis of 1881. It is not enough that their valor is recognized It is not enough that their honesty is confessed. We ask of our northern brethren-we ask of the world a recognition of their patriotism and their love of liberty We cannot be silent as long as any aspersion is cast by the pen of the historian or by the tongue of the orator upon their patriotic motives or upon the loftiness of the object they had in view through all the tremendous con fiict We make no half-hearted apology for their act. It is justice for which we plead, not charity.
 ''The view of the origin and character of the course of action followed by the southern states in 1861. which has so widely impressed itself upon the popular mind, may be summed up in four propo- sitions. First that the secession of the cotton states was the result of con- spiracy on the part of a few of their
 leaders, and that it was not the genuine expression of the mind of the people. Second. that the act whereby the south- ern states withdrew from the union was an act of disloyalty to the constitution and of treason to the United States gov arr, Third. that ha paOnlp of south were not attached to the union and were eager to seize upon an excuse for it's dissolution. Fourth, that the south plunged into desperate war for the purpose of perpetuating slavery and made that institution the cornerstone of the new Confederaey which it sought to establish.

Are Essentially Erroneous.

q propose briefly to examine these propositions and shah endeavor to show that every one of them when scrutinized under the impartial light of history must be pronounced essentially erroneous Be- lieving that they are erroneous and that they do great injustice to the memory and the motives of the men of the south in that great crisis it becomes d sacred duty to expose the unsubstantial founda- ton upon which these opinions rest. lest our children and our children's children should misread and misunderstood the acts of their fathers.
 s'rhe generation which participated in that great struggle is rapidly passing away, and we believe that no fitting oc- casion should be neglected by those who vet survive to vindicate the motives and to explain the principles of the actors in that great drama. Only by iteration and by reiteration by the writers and speakers of the south will the real facts be rescued from oblivion from misunder- standing and from misrepresentation and the conduct and characters of our

vain, have also ceased, for the

weeks and which made life a
terrible nightmare for those

be on the streets during the
greater portion of the time, was
broken last Wednesday by a
heavy, steady rain which began
to fall at an early hour in the
morning and continued through
out the greater portion of the
day.
AS stated above, the rain was
gladly welcomed by the people
of the city, and the only class to
whom it brought distress were
the farmers who still have cotton
in the fields, as this cotton was
necessarily damaged to some ex-
tent by the downpour. Most of
the cotton has been picked, how
ever, so that the damage will not
be very great.
