This was feand in Mrs. Davis’ trunk. It was regarded ‘as true military booty and was sent tome. For many years I held it, resisting with all my vigor a number of efforts made by the Pennsylvanians to secure the banner, but a bill was finally passed by Congress and the department had to send the flag north, telegraphed to all the southern governors, no- tifying them of arrangements made and invit- ing them to take part in the funeral ceremo- nies, ‘HIS BURIAL PLACE. The question of the place of burial was also discussed, The burying ground of the Davis family is at the Briartield homestead, just be- low Vicksburg. Here Mr. Davis’ elder brother, Joseph Davis, is buried, and here Jefferson Davis’ remains will also ultimately be placed, but as it is impossible to hold the funeral cere- monies at Briarfield, it was determined to lay the remains temporarily at rest in the tomb of the Confederate yeteran association of the army of northern Virginia, in Metallic ceme- tery, near New Orleans. ‘he citizens of Montgomery, Ala., _tele- ‘aphed to Mrs. Davis asking that the body of er husband be interred in that (wn on Capi- tol hill, under the confederat- monument.

Dr. Eccleston WHO LOSES THE MONEY? The House Investigation of the Silcott Defalcation. THE QUESTION OF RESPONSIBILTY CONSIDERED BY THE SPECIAL COMMITTEE—UNLESS AN AP- PROPRIATION IS MADE MEMBERS OF CONGRESS WILL BE THE LOSERS—MRB, LEEDOM’S STATE- MENT. The investigation of the House special com- mittee into the subject of the defalcation of Cashier Silcott has gone far enough to show that there rests no legal responsibility any- where to make up the loss to the members of the House. It has been found that the govern- ment dealt, under the law, with Mr. Silcott as the agent of the individual members and, therefors, is absolved from all responsibility, More than this, there is no law constituting the sergeant-at-arms the disbursing officer of the House and his bondsmen are in no way responsible for the defalea- tion, Their bond is given for the proper performance of that ofticer's duties under the law. The custom of employing the Sergeant-at-arms in the ca) of disbursing officer is one that has been fallen into without uthorized by any law, Therefore,while equities in the responsi- nt, there is resting either with boudsmen that is overnment or with th : yy the statutes. The individual members will have to stand the loss, unless they act merely on the equities of the case and th ives by an appropriation without the warrant of law for so doing. M. bers who want to get their moucy back will probably favor the passage of a bill for the relief of Leedom so that he may settle his accounts, and in this way they can get their money without making a direct appro- priation for themselves, STATEMENT OF MR. LEEDOM. The following statement of the condition of the finances of the sergeant-«t-arms’ ollice was laid before tae investigating committee by Mr. Leedom yesterday, and at the exatnins the office by th correct, so far as the i; “Amount due members. = safe and bank, $80,61 the close of busin din cash $2: Of the amounts drawn from the Treasury by Silcott at various times between November 25 and the time of his disappearance the follow- ing disposition was made: On the 27th he drew $36,608, of which he paid $21,500 to the teller, Mr. Ballentine, and with the balance paid off notes amounting to $14,500 in the hands of the Metropolitan bank supposed to have been Wrawn by Congressmen, Ou the 29th he drew $36,207, which he paid over in fullto Mr. Ballentine. On the 30th he drew 260,627, of which he gave $252 in drafts to Mr. Ballentine. The amount of cash on hand at the close of business November 25 was 28,555. The amount in Silcott’s safe Decem- 4. when Mr. Leedom made the investiga- tion, was $33,400. The amount in the teller’s hands December 4 was €33,351 and the amount in bank was $19,660. “The fact that there was more cash in the safe at the time that Silcott went away than at the close of business November 25 shows that he was afraid to take anything from the safe and that none of the stealing was done from the sergeant-at-arms' office. The money taken jas that which Silcott had drawn from the Treasury and had not turned over to the sergeant-at-arms. You see, Mr. Ballen- lentine’s door lapped over on that of Silcott. so that Mr. Batlentine could have bad ei Sileott’s cash at any time, and he was ¢ ban overed. Iam confident that the notes which Silcott paid off at the | National Metropolitan bank were forged and that to protect himsel’ from punishment for erime for which he might have been extradited. Col.

Gordon of Georgia telegraphed the gov- ernors of all the southern states suggesting that the people of the several states meet at the hour appointed for the funeral of Mr. Davis and join in suitable memorial exercises, He also sugested that the people unite in raising «fund for the family. Telegrams have been sent inquiring if the family would consent to a fund being raised, and, if so, it will be begun atonce, Mayor Glenn of Atlanta has ordered the city buildings draped for thirty days and the people to meet at 11 o'clock om the day of the funeral for suitable exercises, In Richmond, Va.; Columbia, $.C.; Augusta, Ga.; Montgomery, Ala.; New Orleans, Fort Worth, Tex.; Lynchburg, Va., and in fact in every town and city m the south the residents marked their regret at the ex-president’s death by tolling the church bells and draping in deep mourning public institutions and private resi- dences, Telegrams of condolence were sent from every part of the south to Mra, Davis and almost every post of confederate soldiers held meetings last night and adopted suitable reso- lutions. In Mississippi yesterday business was entirely suspended in all the towns and the courts everywhere adjourned. The Virginia legislature has appointed a joint committee to draft resolutions expressing the sorrow of the people of Virginia at the death of Mr. Davis, THE SOUTHERN GOVERNORS. Among the messages of condolence received by Mrs. Davis were telegrams from Gov, Fitz- hugh Lee of Virginia, Gov. J. B. Gordon of Georgia, who suggests that all the southern governors take part in the funeral; Gov. D. G. Fowle of North Carolin: Gov, Robert Lowry of Mississippi, Gov. Frank Nicholls of Louisiana, Gov. L. 5. Ross of Texas, Justice L. Q. C. Lamar of the Supreme Court. Senators Reagan of Texas, Walthall of Mississippi, Gov, 3. P. Richardson of South Carolina and Gov, H. P. Fleming of Florida, WINNIE DAVIS PROSTRATED, Miss Winuie Davis, who is in Paris as guest of her cousin, Mrs, Joseph Pulitzer, was prostrated by the sad news and unable to see any one, but her cousin kindly furnished the following information: “We were all dreadfully shocked,” said she, “at the uews of Mr. Davis' death. Only yester- day we had received a cablegram from Mrs. Davis telling us that her husband was con- valescing rapidly. “A letter which came about the same time was most reassuring in tone; consequently we had every reason to believe that all was going well, when, without any warning, at noon today, dispatches came telling us that Mr. Davis had died shortly after midnight this morning. That one terrible fact is ail we know, Mrs. Davis being doubtless too much overcome to send any detail “Of course this sad event will change all Miss Davis’ plans, and instead of spending the win- ter with me in Paris she will sail for America next week to join her family. “Only one sister is lefj—Mre. Hayes. Her home ia in Colorado. Four sons are all dead.” WHAT THE FOREIGN PRESS Says. All the London papers have leaders on Jef- ferson Davis. The Globe recalls Mr, Gladstone's eulogium, including the famous phrase so much criticized at the time, ‘Jefferson Davis has created a nation,” 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 ofa whole people were sufficient for the foundation of a state a slave-holding republic would have been established, The St. James Gazette doubts whether Davis will take a historical position as one of the world’s greatmen, He had wonderful luck in discovering Lee, one of the greatest generals of the age, and Secretary Benjamin, an exceed- ingly shrewd admimistrator. The Gazeue draws a striking comparison between Davis and some of his famous cotemporaries and es- pecialiy compares Lincoln's juuique personality and deeply cherished memory with the absenco of enthusiasm for Davis or even of general in- terest in him. Lee, it says. is glorified in the old world as in the new. ‘Stonewall Jackson is almost glorified in England, while, as Davis de- mre from the scene of human activities it is utful if a single person outside the immediate circle of his relatives is affected by a passing thrill of emotion. A NEW YORK HOTEL’S FLAG LOWERED, The Union flag over the New York hotel, on Broadway, was at half mast all day yesterday, in mourning for the death of Jefferson Davis, Proprietor Cranston was personal friend of the ex-president of the confederacy Davis made that hotel his headquarters when- ever he was in the city.
