THE DEATH OF JEFF DAVIS.

[continued from first page.]

a good breeze from its usual place at the top of the staff. Secretary Proctor was seen this morning and asked what course the depart ment would pursue in regard to

Davis'death. He said: "I

Eee

Mr.

no occasion for any action what

ever. It would serve no good purpose that I can-Bee. 'Tis better to let the matter re6t- in oblivion, sleep if it will and to relegate it to the past, than to do anything that would revive memories best forgotten."

Several army officers, in talking about the case, approved the secretary's determination to ignore the matter, and said there was really no other course to take in view of the fact that the citizenship of JelTerson Davis has never been restored.

MISSISSIPPIANS IN WASHINGTON.

They Meet nml Adopt Resolutions of Sympathy ami Affection. WASHINGTON, December G.—A meeting of the prominent Mississippians now in the city was held here this afternoon to take appropriate action on the death of Jefferson Davis. .Among those present were Justice Lamar, who presided, and the entire Mississippi delegation in con grtes, including Senators Walthall and George. The following resolutions of sympathy and affection were adopted and telegraphed to Mrs. Davis at New Orleans:

Besolved That while the fullness of years and teeble health

the distinguished dead warranted

expectation of this sad event, yet Its certainty Is a shock to our affection which no language can express or even faintly shadow.

That we recall with tender emotion his career as a soldier and civilian, brilliant, eventful and without parallel lu our annals, whether as a soldier pouring out his blood on foreign battle fields: as a statesman In the cabinet of the nation as the leader of his party In congress as the guiding spirit of the South through the stormiest period of her history as the vicarious suflerer for us and his people in defeat. He has constantly ar.d fully met the requirements of the most exacting criticism and Illustrated In every station and condition the manly courage, the acute intellect, the heroic fortitude, the unfaltering devotion to duty, the constant sacrifice to convictions that won for him our confidence, admiration, love and reverence, and we know that the imperious will and unbending purpose which at moments provoked dissent and opposition o-cro but the results of an absolute sense of right and superb self-re-liance. which permitted no hesitation or turning In ills chosen path.

Resolved, By pure Torce of mind, by fervid patriotism, by uncompromising honesty, by delicate honor, by kindly and sympathetic nature, we declare he constituted an fx'mpler for our yotirths who aspire to high and heroic things, and in this moment of our grief and In our pride we conlldently challenge the judgment of posterity, and believe that the historian of after years, looking down the perspective of the past, will see Jefferson Davis tho collossal figure of his times, and do justice to the virtues which so deeply fixed him In our hearts.

Resolved, That we tender our warmest and deepest sympathies to his bereaved family and Invoke for them the consolation ol the divine love,

Resolved, That we condole with our fellow citizens upon the loss of his living presence and congratulate them upon the possession of his illustrious example and of his Immortal memory.

ENGLISH COM MENT.

What the Loudon New&papers Say About Jeff Davit*. LONDON, December 0.—All the even ing papers have leaders on Jefferson Davis. The Globe recalls Mr. Gladstone's eulogium including the famous phrase so much criticised at the time. "Jefferson Davis has created a natioD," and adds that if he did not create a nation it was because such a creation was cleurly not possible in the conditions that if statesmanship, military genius, and devotion on the part of the whole people were sufficient for tho foundation of a state, a slaveholding republic would, have been established. The enterprise failed, it concludes, because success in the conditions was not only difiicult but impossible.

The St. James Gazette doubts whether Davis will take a historical position as one of tlie world's great men. He was a man of great persistency of purpose and keen political vision. He had wonderful luck in discovering Lee—one of the greatest generals of the age—and Secretary Benjamin, an exceedingly shrewd administrator. The St. James draws a striking comparison between Davis and i.-ome of his famous contemporaries and especially compares Lincoln's unique personality end deeply cherished memory with the absence of enthusiasm for avie, or even a general interest in him, Lse, it saye, is glorified in the old world as in the new Stonewall Jackson is almost glorified in England while as Davis departs from the scene of human activities, it is doubtful if a single person outide the immediate circle of his relatives is affected by a passing thrill of emotion.

The News saye: "The splendid clemency of the great popular government in the case of Mr. Davis has been justified by the results. Mr. Davis passing his old age in peace has stood as an evidence of the absolute security of the federal system."

The Mcrnirg Chronicle saye: "In ihe nature of things Mr. Davis can nevor be recognized as a national hero. Still he was a man of no ordinary mould, and was a rebel only because the contest he eutered upon ended in failure."

The Times says: "Stripped of rhetorical trappings, Mr. Davis' policy was a superb game of brag. "His cardinal vice was a failure. His later career was hardly worthy of him. While he was a conspicuous example of clemency he seldom had a gojd word for the North."

The Standard says: "His natural re-, serve and pride were little illumined by sympathy or humor. Hence, while he must occupy a prominent piece in hicory, he will not be accorded the affection that friend and foe alike bestow upon Lincoln, Lee, Jackson and Grant."

The Daily Telegraph says: "Jefferson Davis is gone, followed to the grave, we doubt not, by more affection and gratitude on the part of the South, and a more respectful and just appreciation on the pari, of the North, than were always his por icn during life."

Miss Winuifred Oavia Prostrated. PA HI*, December 0.—Miss Winnifred Davis is prostrated by the news of her fathet's death. She sails for home next week.
