Gov. John B. Gordon, of Georgia, presided and addressed the meeting as follows : To me, and countless to you, this is one of the saddest, yet sweetest and proudest occasions of a lifetime. Saddest because we have just borne to his tomb our great emef tain- sweetest because we have laid him to rest after life's fitful fever is over, on a bed softer than was ever made by blooming roses or pillow of down. We nave buried nun witn tne blessings and honors and esteem and afieotiona of s grateful people. Lit me add that it was fitting that he should be laid to rest with the' flag of the Confederacy which he loved so well, folded about him living and buried with him the stars and stripes ox tne Kepublie, for whose honor and defense he spilt his blood, waving over him. If he could speak to us tonight I am sure his in- i unction would be to remain true to the .ma a a a . memories oi tne past ana no less true to the duties of the future and the glory of our American Bepublio. The sriex over his death is ours; but his fame will yet be claimed for nis country and mankind. Governor uoraon men urged tnat w m a mm a fond should be raised to build i monument to his memory and pro vision made for Mrs. Davis and the "Daughter of the Confederacy," be cause it was a holy duty ! to our own manhood and the highest privilege left us. - Addresses were also made by Gov ernor Bnekner, of Kentucky; Lowrj, of Mississippi; Fowie, of North Oaro lies; Eagle, of Arkansas; Fleming, oi Flonds; Nichols, of Louisiana, and others.

WaSHisoToa, Deo. 12 Sxnatb- In further execution of the arrang' ment as (0 tbe committees, Mr. Wo' oo tt was excused from service on tt committee on Indian affairs. Petitions from various parishes of Louisiana in favor of a national elec tion law were presented by Senators Ingalls, Sherman and Everts. Among i the bills introduced and referred were the followitg i ;. ' By Mr.Shexmac t o revive - the grade -of Lieutensnt-General.of the army. ; ' " : ; By Mr. Butler, for the emigration of persons of color from tbe Southern States. ' Joint resolntions of the Florida legielatnrein favor of a national ship canal across the Florida peninsula, and of the improvement of St. John's river, was presented by Mr. Gall, read in full and referred to the committee on commerce. Mr. Gibson effered a resolution (which was referred to the committee on foreign relations) instructing that a,; . committee be appointed to enquire into the ex pedieney and practicability of acquir ing or selling a part of the territory for the occupation of negro or colored citizens of the United States, and also to enquire how far and in what manner the government of the United States can and ought equitably to aid freedmen of the United States, their families and deeendanta to emigrate thereto and to settle thereon, and to establish a system of common school education. Mr. Ingalls offered a concurrent resolution (which went over without action) for a holiday recess ef the two houses from Thursday, December 19 ih, to Monday, January 6 th. - Under the resolutions effered by Senators Aldrich and Piatt the changes in the committees prepared in tbe caucus and aire ady published were agreed to. : A'ter brief excutive session, the Senate adjourned till Monday. ' HCUSl. Immediately after the reading of the journal Mr. Butter worth, of Ohio, rising to a question of privi lege, offered a preamble and resolu tions reciting the facta in the ease of the publication of what is known as the "ballot box contrtet," and ask ing for a committee of five to make a full and thorough investigation and report .without dely the evidence and findings therein to the JUouse. The committee is to ascertain and re port by whom said contract was pre pared, nnd whether, the signatures are forgeries or genuine. If forged, what, person " or persons directly or indirectly aided, abetted, assisted or knowingly consented to the perpe tration and utterance of said forger ies, and for what purpose and intent, whether any members of the House whose names appeared on the alleged contract, had or have, either direotly or indirectly any . unlawful, corrupt or improper connection with or in terest in, the ballot boxes. The resolution further provides that the committee shall have an thorityto call for persons and pa pers, administer oaths, &s. Mr. Bat- terworth detailed the eireumstaneea cf the publication in the Cincinnati Commercial Gixette of the various phases of this matter. T, m a wr l i air. xreeinnage, oi A.ensuos.y, whose name wu also appended to the alleged oon tract, joined with Mr. Butterworth in asking for a commit tee. The i resolution was adopted without division Mr. Adams, of Illinois, chairman of the special committee to investi gate the office of Sergeant at. Arms made, what he said was a partial report from the cemmittee. The re port states the deficiency at 7U,7U8, and says that there was found also note from Leedom for $1,000, on which $150 had been paid. It further states that the Sergeant-at Arms had been discounting the salaries and notes of the members of the House, sod that although it was claimed that this was from private funds there was evidence that in some instances at least it bad been taken from thtj government safe and the profits retained by tfce Sergeant-at Arms It sajs tfcat the committee can not too severely condemn the ueg- ligent n.anner in wcioh tne Sergeant at Arms condueted his office, and ex onerates the paying teller and book' keeper from b'sm?. The report concludes with the statement that the committee did not feel authorized to go into the question of liability. At the conclusion of a long debate which followed, the resolution wet adopted direotirg tie committee tc report as to the effect or the result of any d fieiercy in the cash of the ber-cesrt-at Aims' cf&ee, and ettxcialh as to the uspaid soldiers and mem bers, accompanying their report with the bill if neoessary, also one effered by Mr. Hemphill of South Carolina, directing the Sergeant-at Arms Homes to arrange with the Treasury Depart ment for the payment of thj mileage of the members snd delegates. Mr. Brower, of North Carolina, introduced a bill for the repeal of the tax on the tobacco in all of its forms.- It was referred to the committee on Ways Tbe address ef Horn Gears; Davis. Mr Davis opened hie remarks tnS aaotins from Pealme LXXXII, 6 an 7. "I have said, ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High. But ye shall die like men, and falfllks ne of the princes. j "JeffdreoD Davis," eaid the'spcaker, "was a prince, a true prices in all that was most nob!e. To die in the burp e of power of state, to , fall in the rush of caiue wnere cannons roar and bayonets are nasnug, to sink in the arms of viotory, to end in the glare and dsrs'ecf prond achieve ments these things were not for him." ; ..:-;J.--v?.n' : v--;V:. " After lone years cf toil and anx iety, of strife and bi ternes,of strug gle and failure, of hatred and insult land slander, of poverty and misfort une, of weariness, pain and Buffering, having finished his course he now rests from his labora rests in peace. "Whatever was great in his public ife and there was much whatever was memorable in his actions, as sol dier, scholar, orator, statesman, pa triot, these things I relegate to his tory. I desire only to utter a few Simple words in loving remembranoe bf the chief I honor, of the man I admire, of the dead friend whom I loved. What manner of man was this for whom ten millions of people are in grief and teara this dajt j No man ever lived upon whom the glare of publie attention beat more fiercely, no man ever lived more sharply criti cised, more unjustly slandered, more sternly censored, more strongly con demned, more bitterly rated, more wrongly malgned, and though slan dered by enemies, betrayed by false friends, carped at by ignorant fools; no man ever lived who could more fearlessly, like a dead great man who long preceded him, leave the vindica tion of his fair fame to the next age, and to men better capable of judging than we. Standing here today by his open grave, and in all hnman probability not very far from my own, I declare to you that he was the most honest, truest, gentlest, bravest, tendersst, manliest, man I ever knew; and what more could I say than thatt My pub lie life waa long since over, my ambi tion went dovn with the banner of the Lost Cause, and like it never rose gain, i have had abundant time is in all these quiet yearr, and it has been my fa ft. rite occupation to re view the occurrecods oi tnat time, and retroppfct over the history of that tremendous struggle, to remem ber with love and admiration, and give due credit to the great men who bore their parts in this struggle. I have often thought what, was it that the southern people bad to be most proud of in all the proud things of their record. Not the achieve ments of our arms. No man is more proud of them than I; no man rejoices more in Manassas, Ohanoellorsville and in Bieh mond; but all nations have had their victories. There is something, I think better than that, and it was this that through all the bitterness of that time, and throughout all the bit terness of that bitter contest, Jeffer son Davis and Bobt E. Lee, never spoke a word, never wrote a line, that the whole neutral world did not ac cept as the very indisputable truth- xou ail remember that Mr. Davis did not send a messsge to Congress, in which he portrayed the condition of things, that all the world did not know it to be true. - You . know Mr. Chairman, and you remember," you old gray jackets ; yes, you all remem ber, that! when General Le in his quiet, modest, reverent way would telegraph to Mr. isavia at Biohmond that God had mercifully blessed our arms, all the lying bulletins that flashed over a continent could not make the world believe that there had been a Federal viotory. Aye, truth waa the guiding star of both of them, and that is a grand thing to remem ber ; upon that! my memory rests more proudly than npon anything else. It is a monument better than marble, more durable than brass. Teach it to your children, that they may be proud to remember Jefferson xavis. H Mr. Davis stated that Jefferson Davis was one of the four men he had ever known; one of two or three he had known, who did not grow smaller as you got nearer to them. "The more you know him," said Mr. Davis, "the nearer you came to him the more yon saw sad heard him, the greater he grew." "He has been growing greater and greater for twenty.fi ve yearr;hewill be greater one hundred years hence than he is today. Such wonderful and accurate information I never saw. He aeemed to me to have traversed the whole course of science and of na ture and of art. Whatever was the topio cf conversation, from making a horse shoe to interpreting the Con stitution, from adjusting a jtck plane to building a railroad, he not only seemed to know all about it, but could! tell you the most approved methods of doing it - alL Some people have an idea, end not a few I expect, that Mr. Davis waa cold, severe, austere, unfeeling man. rhtre never was a more untrue opin ion. No man ever had a better right to know than L For sixteen months I bad the honor to be at the head of the Law Department of his Govern ment, and every sentence of a military court that went to ur. jams was re ferred to me for examination and re port ' I I do not think I am a cruel man. bnt I declare to TOU it waa tha I most difficult thing in the world to I keep tlx. Paris op to the major of justice. He wanted to pardon every iy, and if ever a wife, or mother or a sister, got into hie presence it took but a tittle while to wipe out the reeords.M . . . ; , II The speaker here referred very feelingly to a touching incident of tenderness and affection displayed by Jefferson Davis at the death bed of the wife of Dick Taylor. i "I do not know," said Mr. Davis, "but 1 1 nrofesa to von that I thor oughly believe that he never oould read the story of "LittleSNell " or the aeatn ox uoionei me woo me, without his eyes being bedimed with tears. Once he was indisposed in Richmond, so sick that the physician confined him to the bed. To relieve the mono tony, his wife was reading to him one morning some story I do not re member what. He was so quiet that Mrs. Davis thought that he was asleep, but dik not stop for fear of awaking hinv She got that por tion of the book where the villain of the story got the heroine into hit power, and was coming - it pretty strong over her, when suddenly she heaid him exclaim t "The infernal vil lain," and looking around, the Presi dent waa aitting up in bed with both flits clenched. Well, this is a little thing, do you respect him less for itt It showed that he waa a man, not a cold image set up on a pedestal for ns to admire, a man with the faults and weaknesses of human nature, but a man with the great virtues, great hnman nature. I never taw a man more simple in his habits of life. He surrounded himself with no barriers of forms and ceremonies. The humblest soldier in the ranks; the plainest eitiaen in the Confederacy, oould have as easy access to him as tne members ox hia cabinet, when such demands on his time were con sistent with the interests of bis coun try. No man ever 'lived who more thoroughly despised the mere show and tinsel j of State and power, and the trappings of office. "Mr. Dans was at the head of . one of the grandest armies that the wor d ever saw in a time when "laws were, silenced in the -midst of arms," and I give you, my word I never saw him attended by a guad or by an orderly. His domestio servants were all that were needed and all that he would have. I say he waa never attended by a guard; he was one v end I shaU never forgnt Lis delight when he told me of it. j Wfceu General Lee was en camped on Ue baLk of th Chioka hominy near Biohmond, Mr. Dvia was in the habit every after non after th business of his effioa was over, of riding out to his headquarters. Upon these visits he always went on horse back and generally aloue. Upon ons occasion he v ai detained ; latr than nsual and night had fallen before he left Gen rai I?' tent As be rod) along he heard a horse arproaching rapidly, and present! a cheery young voice called out ''good evening" and : as t he turned to salute, a young lad rode up to his side a young boy of some 16 or 17 years of age, but he wore a gray jacket, and had his rill a on his shoulder and his revolver in hia belt. "Good evening, is your name Davis Jefferson Da via!" "les." "Weil, don't you think yon are doing very wrong to be riding around in the dark by yourself t " air. Uavu said be . was within our lines and had nothing' to fear from uonxederate soldiers. "It ain't right," said the boy, "for there are bad men in our army as well as in all armies." When about two miles from ' Bich mond and the outposts were reached. he said, "Well, I reckon I'd go back now. The brave lad thought of the President as in danger, and he made himself his body guard, determined tot see turn through; and be would have died for him there npon that lonely road with aa much bravery and cheerfulness as thousands of his com redes were dying every day for the cause Mr. Davis represented " j "An, nis .people loved him, and have met together today to show it to the world. I once witnessed a seene which showed how the people loved him. In May, 1867, after two years of the most brutal treatment, the most brutal imprisonment the world ever sew, outside of Siberia, unre lieved by the slightest touch of kind ness or generosity, Mr. Davis was brought to trial before the Federal court in Bichmond. I chareed to be there and promised Mrs. - Davis, as aoon as i bad any intimation of what the court was going to do, to eome and report I tat in the court when Chief Justice Chase announced the Erisoner was released. - a never new how I got out out of that court house, or through tho crowd that lined the streets, but I found myself in Mrs. Davis' room and reported. In a utue while 1 looked out a window ana saw tnat tne streets were lined by thousands and thousands of the people of Bichmond, and scarce ly passage was there for the carriage in which Air. lavis rode at a funeral gait; and as he rode every head was bared, not a sound was heard, except now and then a long sigh, and so he ascended to his wife's chamber. That room was crowded with friends, male and female. As Mr. Davis entered they rushed to him and threw their arms ' around him. They, embraced each other, old soldiers, men of tried daring, cried like infants. Dear old Dr. MJnnegerode lifted np his hands,1 with big tears rolling down his cheeks, and the 'assembled company knelt down, while he offered up a short thanksgiving to God for having restored to us our revered chieftain. "Now what mora can I say 1 1 hare endeavored - to give yon these little I personal traits cf ZIr. Davis fa crdc that you might know him better. He wu a high-toned, pure-hearted Chris tian gentleman, and if our poor hu manity has any higher form than that, I know not what it is. His great and active intellect never exercised itself with questioning the being of God or the truth of his revelations to He never thought it wise or smart to sooff at mysteries which he could not understand. He never waa daring enough to measure infinite power and goodness by the poor nar row guage of a limited, crippled hu man intellect. Where he understood, he admired, worshipped, adored. Where he oould net understand he rested unquestioningly upon a faith that was as the faith of a little child a faith that never wavered, and that made him look always nndoubt- ingly, fearlessly, through life,through aeatn, to uie again. ' - " BUskey OallalMr Address, .

Surely we grieve with those who weep the tender teara of homely pain and trouble, and there is not a sign of tha gnu breeze that swings the swinging moss on the cypress trees sheltering their home bnt finds an answer in our own bur dened breathing. We recall with sweet sympathy the wifely woe that can to measured only by the sacred depths of : : wifely devotion, and bur hearts go traveling across the heaving Atlantie seas to meet and to comfort, if we might, the child who, coming home, shall for once not be able to bring all tbe sweet splen dors of the sunshine with her. , Let us bend with the stricken household and pay he tribute of our tears; and then acknowledging the stress and surge of a people'a sorrow, aay that the stately tree of our Southern wood planted in power, nourished in kindh dews, branching in brave luxuriance, and scarred by many storms, lies np rooted. The end of a long end lofty life has eome, and a moving volume of human history baa been closed and clasped. The strange - and sudden dignity ox death has been added to the nae and resolute dignity of living A man who in his person and history symbolised the solemn convictions and tragic fortunes of millions of men cannot pass into the gloom that gath era around a grave without sign or token from the surcharged bosoms of those he leaves behind, and when Jeffaraon Davis, reaching fthe very aeamatk of hia utmost sail, goes to his god, not even the most ignoble can chide the majestic mourning, the sorrowing honors of a last 'salute. I I am not here to stir by a bt ath the embers of a settled strife ; to spesk one word unworthy of bun and of the hour ; what is writ is writ in the world's memory and in the books Of God. Bat I am here to aay for our help and ' inspiration that this man, as a Christian and churchman, was a lover of all high and righteoui things ; as a eitfsan, was fashioned in the .old, faithful type ; as a soldier, was marked and fit' ed for more than fame the Lord God having set on him the seal of liberty of men. Gra eioua and gentle, even to the lowliast, nay, especially to them ; tender1 as he was brave, he deserved to win all the love that followed . him. FearleSs and unselfish, he oculd not well escape the lifalong conflict to which he was committed. Greatly and strangely misooneeived, he bore injustice with the ealmneaa befitting his place. He Buffered many and grievous wrongs, suffered most - fot the sake of .others, and those others will remember him and hia unflineh ing fidelity with deepening gratitude whi'e the Potomao seeks the Chesa peake or the Mississippi sweeps by Briarfield on its way to the Mexican sea. - When on the December midnight the worn warrior j oined the ranks of the patient and pievaiiing ones who "Loved their land with love far brought.
