POPE RECOGNIZED V ; i

Important Paper Carried - to - Con

Chattanooga News. ;
Among the most Important historical
documents In the city brought by the
veteran visitors is 4i possession of Dr.
Daniel Albright Long, of .Raleigh. N.
C, Who is a guest of C. V. Brown.- It
is a letter written by Mrs. Jefferson
-Davis in 180.1, stating that the pone
had recognized (the Confederacy. The
manscript is faded and torn and Dr.
long keeps it in a safety deposit box
at borne. He allowed a representative
of The News to see and copy it The
letter is as follows t
"Dr. D. A: Lour.- rmddlng of Aotioch

the recognition his holiness, the pope,
gave to the Confederacy, and Mr.
Davis' hook, The Rise and Fall of the
Confederacy,'- published by the Messrs.

letter he wrote.
' "Xours respectfully,
- "V. JEFFERSON DAVIS, '
- "Tbe Marlborough, New York City,
i Jan. 30, 1893." . , y
'When Dr. Long received the above
from' Mrs.' Davis be called ou her at
the , MnrllHrongh and, informed her
that he bad read "The Rise and Fall
of the Confederacy" with great care
and that Mr. Davis did not mention the
recognition of the Southern . Confed
eracy by tbe Roman pointiff. Upon a
moments reflection Mrs. Davis said
that she believed Mr. ' Davis, , for
prudential reasons, had omitted its
publication.'
At the request of the Confederate
soldiers of Cabarrus county. . North
Carolina, Dr. Long has prepared an
address, on the . place of Jefferson
Davis In history. It was unanimously
adopted after Its delivery at Concord,
ft. C. . .....
When the Confederate veterans of
the State of North Carolina assembled
at - Durham last August Senator Pat
Harrison, of Mississippi, was assigned
to address the veterans of tbe State.
He failed to come. Dr. Long was chosen
to sneak In bis place. He did so. The
speeches of Chief Justice Clark, Hon,

Harrison, of Mississippi, was assigned
speech of-Dr.. Long .were unlnlraopsly
indorsed and requested tor publication
in tbe public schools of North Caro

Since the arrival of Dr. Long In
Chattanooga It has been decided by tbe
Confederate veterans of the South to
refer bis speech to a select committee
of able lawyers for special examina
tion, nnd if approved to be published
for tbe Instruction of the children in
all tbe - schools. Said address has al
ready been examined by some of the
ablest lawyers and heartily approved.
