VIRGINIA PUTS SWORD
IN HANDS OF LEE
impressive Ceremony When Famous
warrior Takes Charge of States
Armed FOrces.

The outbreak OF the Civil War found
Robert 10. Lee at his home, on the Po-
tomac River. opposite the city of
washington. AT the first call made by
virginia upon her sons who were grad
yates of West Point, he resigned his
commission in the United States Army,
declaring that he would never draw
his sword against his native State.
The Virginia Constitutional Conven-
ton, then in session ut Richmond, sent
committee to call upon him and re-
quest him to come To Richmond. Upon
his arrival at Richmond the convcn-
ton appointed him command err in CHI e {
OF the Virginia forces. The ceremony
was very impressive. lie came into
the hall of the convention leaning upon
the arm Of Marmadukc Johnson n
member of the body. and John Jannay.
the presiding officer. addressed him as
follows:
when we cast our eyes over the
State for the most suitable man into
whose hands we should place the sword
of Virginia We all turned To the Coun-
~ o. Wcstmorcland that had produced
SO many illustrous men. among them
your distinguished father. Light Horse
Harry Lee, and the county that had
also given you birth. In obedience
to the mandate of the convention, /
place into your hands the sword OF
Virginia"
upon took from the hands of MIR. jan
nay beautiful sword and gave it to
General Lee. General Lee replied as
follows:
Il accept this token of the confidence
of my countrymcn, and. save in de-
Tense Of my native state, / will never
again draw my sword"
General Lee was at this time in tho
prime OF life. and the handsomest. most
superb-lookinE human being that the
eye ever rested on. The ceremony re-
called tho scenes when. at the out
break of the Revolutionary War. the
sword of the colonies was. on Boston
Commons. placed in the hands Of
George Washington.
How faithfully and brilliantly Cen
oral Lee discharged the trust com
rrittcd to him by his native State is

sheriff of the county. in which capacity
lie served III" people many years. Dur
ing his term of office his deputy alb
seconded, leaving him debt, OF $4,000
to pay. Ills property was advertised
for sale AT Il certain time at the court
house. The people assembled When
his negroes were offered for sale, there
was no, a bid. except by stranger
who was promptly driven from the

esteem in which Mr.. I'lournoy was held
satisfied the court. and Mir. Flournoy

"The returns evidence the fact that
INSCRIPTIONS newspapers no longer
represent the opinion or sentiment OF
the people, that the latter do their own
thinking, and refuse to be misled by
Misrepresentation or suppression OF
the real Issue.
"The victory also shows that the in
lection Of false issues failed in It's de-
sign to hide the scandals Of the Mitch
Ell administration. that the voters
understood the situation, and that they
recognized the ability OF the Demo
cratic party to reform present abuses
and to give the city an honest, eco

"The Mitchell management OF the
