Hon; John S. Long, the orator of the
day, was then introduced." Els eulogy
Of tha character r.ud services of v JeGTer
son Davii was most fitting and prcpor
asd was pronouaoed very fine by many
excellent Judges who heard it. Heal
lnded in the beginning to the disadvan
tages. underC'which 1 the- Confederate
StaieS labored, end spoke of Mr. Davis'
courage and perseverance! in his grand
efforts to bring to a Successful issue the
cause he advocated. Be spoke of Mr.
Davis' preference for military life. At
the age of Iff he was a soldier. He did
not desire, the presidency of the new
republic, bnt preferred to be a military
leader. What would have been the re
sult if Stephens or Tombs had been
made President and Davis given his
choice, a military career? Mr. Long
spoke of Mr. Davis in the Senate of the
United States. He has been charged
with btiog a diaunionist and a secession
ist. He was the last of Southern
Senators to leave his place in the
Senate, fie believed in the sovereignty
of States; that they had the right to
secede. . And then referring to Sunset
Cox's opinion of Davis, Mr. Long paid
a beautiful tribute to his (Cox's) mem
ory. Speaking of the persecution of
Divig, he said that he could not under
stand it until he had recalled the out
rage perpetrated upon Napoleon by the
English Government, chaining him to
a rock on a lonely idle after he had
trusted in their honor. It was because
they dreaded his genius. For the same
reason Davis was imprisoned and
manaeled and persecuted.
He went on then to speak of Mr
Davis's administration. He was s
great harmonizer. He harmonized
great leaders. He had been criticised
by cross-roads politicians, but Mr. Long
said be had yet to hear of any critioism
by a successful 8outhern General.
Mr. Davis was philanthropic. - He
neyer opposed the exchange of soldiers.
Never made war upon women and
children. He was a cavalier at heart.
Mr. Long then spoke of Mr. Davis'
life since the war; of his retirement;
lived quietly at home in the society of
his own family; shunned publio gaze
and publio office. Why? Because he
wished to turn the bitterness towards
him from his own sunny South. By
way of illustration he referred to the
story of Abraham and Isaac When
Isaac was about to be sacrificed a lamb
was provided as a substitute. Mr. Davis
has been the substituted victim for the
South in the great sacrifice.
He then noted three considerations:
First, Mr. Davis' lofty and pure charac
ter as a ruler and as a private citizen.
Second, his extraordinary gifts as an
orator and a debater. Third, the great
est of all, his wonderful messages to the
Confederate Congress.
Mr. Long 'a concluding words were as
follows: "The last fading sunlight that
fell upon the folded banners of the
Southern cause, gave that cause, in my
judgment, the highest claim upon the
admiration of posterity. Robert E.
Lee, instead of using his great fame to
amend his fallen fortunes, chose rather
to share affliotion and poverty with his
people than to enjoy the pleasures of
earth for a season. The armies and
rulers of the old world would have
weloomed his sword. The commercial
marts of the republio would have en
riched him for his influence. But
tending aloof, in the purity of his own
patriotism, he filled his soul with the
memories of his heroio soldiers and
died at the post of duty. So Jefferson
Davis, with a record shining like a
constellation in a stormy sky, suffered
and was silent. With that glorious in
tellect of his watching every ebbing
and flowing tide in his country's his
tory, he shunned the willing Sympathy
of even his own beloved Southland
that he might save it from the bitter
ness of his foes. With the musical
Wnes of the great 'Father of Waters
on tbe one side, and the withering
sneers of his enemies on tho other, he
watobed the great dial of the ages, and
waited for the verdict of history to be
pronounoed. He tiled before that ver
diet came, bnt he died like a Roman
soldier, wrapt in the royalty of his
own noble principles, and; filled with
tho propheoy of a grandee day, And
that day will surely come. Yon and I
may not' live to see It. But from be
hind the, hills of the future there is
coming a brighter political, dawn, the
brilliant-vindication of honor, purity
and love of country, when the outraged
dust of sleeping patriots shall speak in
brass and marble and the genius of
repentant partisans shall weave laurels
for their tombs." '-
Mr. Long's oration wu followed by
the singing of the beautiful hymn,
4 VThy will bo done;" p
Then Maj. Graham ; Da vet, who had
been appointed to read a poem, jiame
forward and before reading recited an
interesting Incident which happened in
New Berne during tho . time of Mr.
Davis's incarceration, While in prison
Mr. Davis was la need of many com
forts, whloh he did not have nor could
expeot to get, exoept f rom his friends,
The ladies of this city, lira." Fred
i
Roberts and Miss Haniette Lane being
the prime movers in the matter, made
an effort to raise money for Mr. Davis.
The Masons assisted; the young men
gave a grand ball; the little boys gave
a tournament, at which Miss Eleanor
Jones was crowned Maid of Honor by
Mr. D. S. Willis, a gallant Knight; and
the whole oity united to come to the
assistance of the imprisoned ohief . The
result was a Handsome sum was raised.
Major Daves then read the following
beautiful poem, entitled
"The Prayer of the South,"
by Father Ryan :
"My brow is bent beneath a heavy rod!
My face is wan and white with many
woes,
But I will lift my poor, chained hands
to uod,
And for my children pray, and for
my foes.
"Beside the grave where thousands
lowly lie,
I kneel, and weeping for each slaugh
tered son,
I turn my gszs to my own sunny sky,
And pray, Obi Father, let Tby will
be done!
"My heart is filled with anguish, deep
and vast;
My hopes are buried with my chil
dren's dust,
My joys have fled, my tears are flowing
fast,
In whom save Thee, our Father. Bhall 1
trust?

General Robert Ransom followed
beginning with these words: "I stand
Deiore you, stricken as possibly none
other here. I am perhaps the only
warm personal friend of Mr. Davis in
this community." He then spoke
chiefly of the private character of Mr,
Davis, reoiting iucidents of his home
life, eto. He described Mr. Davis as a
soldier in the camp, as a husband and
father, as a friend, as a patriot. Gen
Hansom's words were such as come
from a warm friend, and portrayed
perhaps more clearly than any others
that were spoken the domestio life and
private character of the great chieftain
uenerai u. a. Battle was then in
iroaucea. ue spoke Drieiiy, but very
interestingly, and at times eloquently.
His remarks were chiefly drawn from
his knowledge of Mr. Davis through per
sonal contact. He had known Mr.
Davie well. He spoke of him as the
most distinguished Secretary of War
this country has ever had. General
Battle's brief speeoh was a beautiful
tribute to the memory of Jefferson
Davis, the statesman, the soldier, the
patriot, the noble Southron. General
Battle was often applauded and re
ceived many deserved compliments.
The audience joined the choir in sing
ing "Nearer My God to Thee."
Benediotion by Rev. H. W. Battle.
The meeting was pronounoed by
many to be the grandeat publio meeting

The audience was very appreciative.
