Macon, October 2?.?E\-Pre&idcnt M)avis, accompanied by Mrs. Davis, Miss HrVinnie Davis and Mrs. Hays, of Hdemphis, reached here this evening at B o'clock under the escort of the special committee that left here Sunday, From iff the time the cur left Uiloxi until it !! reached Macon the pathway was one streak oJr flowers. All along t;ie lice crowds of men, womt-n and children flocked to the train to catch a glimpse of Mr. Davis, but he was too feeble to respond. Only at Americas did he appeal on the platform and that was for a few minutes. A committee from there met the train at Smithviils and prevailed on him to do this. The party was joined at Montgomery by the mayor anu a large delegation of citizens when the party came on through to Macon. Long be- . fore the train arrived here the depot and < area around it was packed with a dense j crowd estimated at forty thousand. ! When the car roiled under the shed a ' yell went up that could be heard for miles. It was a long time before Mr. . Davis and his party could be gotten oft". The assistance oi the police had to be called in. Then the difficulty was not ! i J3 L rru~ ^ IT- < Iiesseueu mucu. mc yzcscuuc ui ; Davis in the carriage was the signal for j a discharge of fire works ail over the ( city. It was simultaneous and illumi- nated the whole town. The enthusiasm : knew no bounds. , Along the lines blazed illuminated signs, such as "Welcome, Honored ] Chief!" and the Jike. Mr. Davis gave s way to his sensations and wept. Fre- j quently the march was interrupted cn ] account of the crowd blockading the street, anc1 it was fully an hour after the t train stopped bc-i'ore he reached the ; home of Col. v. IT. Johnson, where he * will remain during his visit. In the large ; crowd that thronged the line of the march were many one-armed and one- I legged veterans, gathered from various j sections. y Mr. Davis is feeble, but from weak ness caused by an unclosed woupd re- : ceived in the Mexican war. He Snakes " i - ? -x i i. ins last journey to meet uiu. wmevisi-- e ates, upon the understanding that noth- z ing will be required of him to tax his 7 r strength. He %riil not be allowed to make * i speeches, however urgent the demand ? V onjaim, nor can the people even shake fc his h?nd. All must be contest to see j ^ him and have him among them. His i "L oiri* willing, but his failing strength j restr. as him. * J g , Ga., October 25.?Kain began v xbout noon to-day, and while it a particularly effect what might be i the Davis part of the programme r ,c kept a good many people from going to the park. Yet there was quite a large v attendance and the result was the typical ?' fair scenes. The streets oi the cltypie^""^ sented quite a lively appearance. The Johnston mansion is, of course, ^ the centre of attraction, as being the ^ temporary home oi the city s distin- v guished guests. All the members of the Davis party were pretty well fatigued by ~ their long journey, and as a resnit there < were no very early risers about Captain Z Johnston's home tl^is morning. Mr. j. Davis remained quietly at the hous2 all day, resting upon his bed or upon a f lounge during most of the time. -0 Shortly before 11 o'clock the gentle- ^ men who were to escort Mis. Davis, Mrs. [ Hays and Miss Winnie Davis to the park Il called at the Johnston house. The drive ? to the grounds was without particular ? event. The streets were quite full of ^ people and at different places along the 3 "^oute there was considerable enthusiasm [ manifested. Tiie band played "Dixie" j " I , as the carriages drove into the grounds, I ^ I and there was a good deal cf cheering by i ~r, the crowds. J c The carriages drove to the band stand,; a short distance from the fair headquar- { ters, and directly in front of the little cottage which has been furnished and appropriately decorated for a temporary home for Mr. Davis and the members of his party while on the grounds. (| THE PRESENTATION TO MRS. DAVIS. h After more music from the band, l President Northen introduced Colonel ? Tom Hardercan, who," with the eloquence " for which he is so justly noted, intro- ^ duced the ladies to the vast crowd, and n then, on the part of Macon citizen?, pre- n sented to Mrs. Davis a beautiful silver bowl. MRS. DAVIS REPLIES. ^ ill T- 1 * -J? .1 TT T _ T .ci.T> ine contusion 01 v^oionei xiiirueman's remarks, Mrs. Davis rose, and, in It a few words, expressed her thanks for j the remembrance and her gratification at the heaxty reception. Fresident Northen then said that the eJ State Fair association would feel bad if t? left out in these re joicings, and intro- ^ duced Vice-President Waddell, ?ho ^ turned to Mrs. Hays, and, on behalf of ^ the association, presented her with a vv handsome diamond brooch. This con- eluded th<> exercises on the stand, and ^ the variou - persons who had occupied ?] seats there . ere introduced to Mrs. Davis */ and her daughters. The ladies were then taken to the little cottage, whica has been piaccu at their disposal, where jan informal reception was held. There was a great crush, everybody making an ^ effort to be the first to greet the distinguished ladies. It took three policemen to keep the people from crowding in and ^ completely -filling the house. There ;; was no red tape about the reception. As . the people filed in they were introduced ;, by President Northen, or some other of ^ the prominent gentlemen, upon whom ^ fell the pleasant duty of acting as c-cort ' ^to the J32S8aSof tho day. For more than ?' ift5ur the pSSpl- "rowcled iu the little ^ '^ house. Mrs. DaVjgand her daughters * had a pleasant vroru^r each, and ibe y aSa' 7 zs a most idelighl^sl one. ^ Miss ^ "Vv"iiiT * ,vas considerably fatigued by the ? /G, ana at IIS -COUCiUSiUii \ML- Tok to Captain \Tchnstons. The ^ .t. members of the party took lunch q ia tie cottage. The luncu^was an elab- ? orate one. Among those jurc-sent were t: Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Hays, \ President " Northern, Governor and MissSGordon, " Colonel E. C. Park. Superintendent ^ Nisbett, Mrs. ?. C. Greer and Fannie Greer, Mrs. We, H. Eoss. Mrs. t Miller, of Columbus, Judge T. Nisbett, Mr. Hape, of Kapsville, and Mr. Bacoc. of southwest Georgia, who v.as a class- " mate of Mr. Davis at West Point. It ?; was about three o'clock when Mrs. Davis ,, and Mrs. flays iefc the grounds und re- ~ __ turned to Crest Hill. " 7 (? THE social. FEATUIiE. \\ After a quiet dinner, the iady mem- bers of the Davis family began to make t: ready for the Thalian Club German and 0 f reception, given in honor of Miss L Minnie. This was the social event of * t;7'*C.V; [ the week, and a most delightful affair it , was. The Volunteers' armory, at which j the german was given, was elaborately decorated , and the scene was u beautiful one. Here were gathered the leading society people of Macon, and their guests from all parts of the South .Beautiful women, handsomely dressed, made the assemblage a brilliant one, one which was an honor to the occasion. Mrs. Davis and Miss "Winnie, were escorted to the armory by Captain Johnston. Airs, ilays did not attend. The german was led bv Mr. W. H. Fciton, Jr. A pleasant incident was the presentation to Miss Winnie of a beautiful brooch, as a souvenir of the occasion. It was the' giit of the Thalian Club, and tLe pre 1 ~ i? r seuuurju was illuuc uv ^u-tjvr >> uiiiiii: Henry Hoss, president of the club, in a few remarks. The dancing was kept up until after midnight. THE BEAUTIFUL GIFT. The fruit bowl presented to Mrs. Davis is one of the handsomest pieces of silver vare ever manufactured. When cue Macon committee lirst went to Beauvoir, some of the members were struck with the fact that while many beautiful gifts had been presented to Mr. Davis and Miss Winnie at diiTerent times, Mrs. Davis had not been tue recipient of quite so much attention of this nature. They at once determined unit Macon should be heard from, and the result was the order for this beautiful souvenir. The bowl, which is probably eight inches in diamier, rests upon i silver tray, upon which is inscribed the words: ilrs. Jefferson Davis, from the citisens of Macon, October 15th, 1887. The diamond brooch presented to :ars. Hays is in the shape of a crescent, md contains thirteen diamonds. It is ; in exquisite specimen of the jeweler's 1 irt. Is is the gift oi the State fair asso- : iation through its directors*, and Ivlr. , Pearco Horn has been largely instru- , nental in its purchase. It cost about >200. The Thalian Club's favor was a com- < ."liaauon hair pin and brooch. It is a < >tar and crescent, consisting of dia- j nonas, rubies and emeralds, set in gold. Li must have cost nearly ?200. j Macon, Ga., October 26.?At 2 o'clock , o-day the old vtt^rans drew up in liae j a front of the Lanier House, and * narched to the Johcston mansion, where * reff Davis is stopping during hfs stay in ; >Iacon, and from there he was escorted t o the Pair grounds, where he made a f >rief speech and reviewed the remnant ~ ;oldiers. In the course of his address, ] ia said: "Friends and Brethren: I am ? ike that flag, torn and tattered by ;torms and years. I love it for its own : ake; I love it for yours; I love it as a ^ nemento of what vour fathers did, and ? ;oped that yoa would do. There are a T rreat many things that I would like to t ay, but my physical condition will not omit of it. I wish my arms were large ) .nd long enough to embrace you all at >nce. God bless yon." * At this juncture Governor Gordon \ ,rose amidst wildest enthusiasm and ielcomed tlio ex- President to the State, [ .nd iu behalf of the people of Macon. T Brief speeches were made by Senator t Colquitt and others. " L Macox, Ga., October 27.?To-day was ^ vet and sloppy. The city lias been well j 0--^' -wry n*?w rrivals. Mr. Davis and party were pre- r cnted from going to the park to-day ^ nd participating in the scenes and inci- ? lents of the day, on account of tne ~ /eather. This was a great disappoint- t] nent to the crowd, although every j tteran. saw him yesterday 4,at homo." r lU wanted to see him again to-day, but c t was not deemed prudent for nim to t save the house. ^ Mr. Davis cannot attend the Athens j iir; his physicians think it would seri- + usiy endanger his lif. Mrs. Hays and (. liss Winnie have accepted the invita- ,J Ion tendered them by the Athenaeum of j, hao city to attend a complimentary re- ~ option in their honor, and will leave v >atuiv:ay morning lor Athens, lnev ^ ill be the guests of Mrs. Howell Cobb, i <j Ir. and Mrs. Davis will return home on I f Liat day. | ^ The management oi the Academy of i \ lasic tendered a complimentary per- j j, jrmance to Mr. Davis and party, in-: < . iuding Governor Gordon, Senator Col- j [, ait and other distinguished gentlemen, i a Irs.

I thank and honor him for a: a?.- one action, which ennobled his life, v, ho^e T in ;y Jive r > sec and thank him b jrg^vjyg security for "our President." a A select committee of the New York t: "nion League crJhd a meeting to lake $ stion upon -Jr. Grcely's conduct. He- i lying to their letter he "dared them to c spel him." He began his letter: V Gentlemen. I shsli not attend your 1 meting this evening. I have an engage- 1; lezt cut of town and shall keep it. I v; .o tot recognize yon as capaoie 01 I adgin& or even fully apprehending me. n "ou evidently regard rae as a weak sen- d Lraentaliit, misled by a maudlin philos- t] >phy. I arraign yon as narrow-minded licckheads. That was a bold letter. c I attended & club meeting at on J Thursday night. While conversing with Mr. Carter he quietly remarked that Mr. Davis wu? in Augusta. "What, President Davis?" I said, in tones of glad surprise. He told me "yes." "I will certainly go the city in the morning and take Jeff with me," I remarked. Later in the evening a group consisting of ."sir. Carter and others were conversing. Others joined us, to whom I told the good news, and there was a ring of exultation and pride in my voice as I told them "Jeff Davis was in Augusta." Looking up I saw that one of our Northern guests was seated near me; but what cared I, as I remarked: "I am so anxious to see him?I do so honor and reverencc his name." "Mr. Davis owes the estimation which the Southern people hold him in to his long imprisonment," remarked Mr. Carter. This piqued me. "You mast admit that he paid a high price to gain this admiration," I repli ed. "Yes," he admitted, "but Jeff Davis ought to thank God for Lis being a prisoner. Had this not been the case he would have gone to his grave unuonored and unsung." "Why, Mr. Curk-r, I am astonished," I replied, "but I confess, I cannot apgue coolly with you, [ only know that his long imprisonment has endeared him to all true Southern women. Mr. Davis has faults, as who has not'?" Just then some one called Mr. Bruce to form a quadrille, and then I expostulated with Mr. Carter, who is a minister, for speaking in disparaging terms of Mr. Davis before a Yankee, and, in tones oi; bitterness I could not prevent, I remarked, "One might possibly imagine Mr. Davis as going to his grave unhonored and unsung by Southern people, when we sea Confederate officers ignore the title which is their highest Lienor. Why, were I a man who had been in service, I should claim my rank, from a corporal to a major general, as the badge of distinction by which I should wish to be known by all men." ( Alluding to my remark, "thai, Mr. i Davis called the Southern women "the 1 .'lear daughters of his people,'" Mr. i 3erter said, "That was so much like Mr. < Davis." i "Why do you object to it?" said I. ] ;or by this time all the enthusiasm of ] ny n.tture was aroused; "you are a ] ninister; you speak of your congrega- i ion as your people, they are more yours j ;han mine; iust so, Mr. Davis alluded to J lie Southern people as his people; they | ire more his than yours, and I delight < o love, to honor and reverence him. \Ir. Davis is the only man living whom ( should feel willing to kiss the hand of \ tndfcel honored in so doing." i I smiled as I realized how far my wo- t nan's love of hero worship, combined ( vith my indignation, hid carried me, j Lud our conversation was changed by t uutual consent, not until Mr. Carter had j repressed a sufficiently high opinion of c tlr. Davis to satisfy even my wish to do I rim homage. " " c Tester day_ morning Turner rode into j he city and Jeff and I drove in the >uggy. We hoped to see Mr. Davis, a L'he morning was beautiful, and as t neniories of the past?the Confederate >ast?thronged my mind, they were 2 oftened by the presence o! beautiful I .ature. Jeff and I talked, and he sang t nateLes of little songs,, and as we drove iirough the "Double^ Branchy" we- ? rerteiTcct t2i6*C5li zuTHItty glide <1 t>y, and ? ay heart had a singularly uplifted feeing and an ever present sense of the ;couness of God. Arriving in the city I read thai President Davis would have a reception from X R-eive until two o'clock. Accompanied p y Turner, Jell' and Marv Yason, we ^ ailed at the Planters' Hotel. Colonel ti icead met us at the door, and we waited C , few moments until a party who had g een introduced rinished their cunversa- c ion. "Is that President Davis?" I en- a [uired, as I saw a gentleman bow to an u atroduction. "Yes. wouldn't you have ti :nown him by his picture?" "No," I t] eplied, "he is much better looking? I ounger looking." Just then the Presi- e lent turned, and Colonel Snead intro- ^ iuced us. I shook hands with him, and ri cr the moment forgot all else in the n :reat content of an accomplished hope, a .)racing my little boy to me I intro- h iuced him a3 "JefT Davis Thomas." He " ook Jeffs hand in Lis, drew him closejy j o him and hold there, with his arm u round him, "I cannot tell you, p ladamo, how highly I appreciate this t] oinp'imcnt," said be. My heart warm- " d at his reception ol' Jeff, and I added, " You will understand how dear you are u o the 'dear daughters of your people,' ts you so gracefully term us, when I explain to you that our little boy was arned t\>r you the afternoon you passed brough Augusta a prisoner. We could do ^ othing else to show our sympathy, and i; re honored ourselvses in calling him for G ou." "My dear znadaoie," he replied, t1 'I appreciate the compliment so much R Le more." We continued the conversaion a :ew moments longer, but during i\ bat time soul had met with soul and 1 o fjin? i unuerstanu ms cnaracter oeiier u ban I did before. P We -withdrew to permit other intro- r< actions, and as I stood and contrasted 0 is erect figure and graceful bearing ]' rith those who were presented to him. I j as proud of "our President" He is so ? uietiy elegant, so perfectly self-pos- ^ sssed; not handsome, but bearing about , irti that unmistakable air of a gentle- c_ lan, without which, for me, the handDmest face would have no attraction, t' )aring our conversation Mr. Davis re- -A iarked to me that "he had great faith a i 'lie Southern women?that they would T liiii their boys right," adding as he y laced his hand upon Jeff's head, "it d ill all come out right. I may not live 5 see it. but it is not in the nature of 7 rod to allow the best people he ever S lade to remain permanently under the ^ izle of the meanest." That remark gave v: ie the key to understand why it has not :.r one moment occurred to me to ren- f c-r the homage of kissing his hand as I ! ad the night before said I would be iiliiifi- to do. President Davis was the c cr.iriiy, elegant gentleman, but not per- ; ;ct, as that remark indicated. I do not c. onder after his treatment that he should r; ilk so; bat ke is mistaken, we are not F 20 best, nor are the l'a .kees the worst !e copie God ever made. si As we bade him good bye, numbers R on tinning to call, he again expressed u' is appreciation of the compliment I c.' ad paid him, and alluded to tne cireum aiice under which Jeff had been amed: increasing the ^alue of the comliiaent. Mr. Davis diew Jeff to him au kissed him, and alsi kissed Mary, b;> was elegantly dressed and looking u ef-.utifuliy. I shook hands with tira y ad Ictt hoping that this would not be is m.vt. opportunity I should have of j!" ieing "our President." I have had no { 'resident since thou, and until a South- I: m man, not a Hadical, presides in the v'hiic* House I wiii acknowledge none. a, 'he bone of contention, negro slavery, >; as oeen removed, ana ail may yet be v, 'ell.

Editors Chronicle: Augusta, October 21, 1SS7.?The above was written sixteen years ago. My little boy is a man now. He dees not know that I publish this, my interview with "our President," but he generally thinks "mamma knows best." Mr. Davis is an old gentleman now. I have never seen him bince. Now, as then, I would render him homage. As ir. the long ago 'T did ail I could," so now I send this leaf from my journal, and with it invoke God's blessing upon the exPresident of the Confederate States. Mns. J. J. Thosias.

Richmond, Va., October 27.?In spite of tlie rainy weather the city this morning soon showed sign of interest in the coming ceremonies, the crowd being the largest seen here in a great many jears. At a very early hour the sound of drum and bugle noted the preparations for the grand parade. Before 10 o'clock the rain had temporarily ceased, but the clouds remained unbroken and threatening. People, however, seemed not to notice this, but had apparently made up thdir minds to carry out the programme of the day in all its details, "rain or shine." The visiting military force consists of two corps of cadets, one from the Virginia Military Institute and the other from the Blacksburg Agricultural and Mechanical College, tnro regiments of Virginia infantry, three companies of cavalry, four companies of artillery, two companies of infantry from North Carolina and one from Maryland. Besides tbese there are several camos of Con federate veterans from dillerent parts of the State and six hundred veterans of the Maryland Line. The latter arrived ' fcere this morning and their appearance ' du the street, with the Marine Band of 1 Washington at the head of the line, created considerable interest, and they [ ;vere everywhere greeted with enthusi- ' ism. ] Four professors and fifty-five students ' irrived this morning from the Washingion and Lee University.

The scene as the ei sad of the column marched into the pj .onumeht grounds was (despite the fc rizzle) very inspiring. ?

The evening ceremonies were held in the hall cf the Hon: 2 of Delegates, the spacious room being tilled to its utmost capacity. Governor Lee introduced General -Tubal A.

Gordon McCabe, of Petersburg, who paid a glebing tribute to the late Captain James Barron Hope, the gifted author of the pc&ci which he was about to read. He- then proceeded with the reading. Captain McCabe's recitation of the poem was masterly in its manner and was frequently interrupted with raptur- j ous applause. General Early next introduced Colonel Charles Marshall, military secretary of General II. E.

The ex-C ongressjn an's Drink Willie Making Public- Speeches?A I'rlliiant Career. (From tiio Philadelphia Record.) Wasees-gto>\ October 28.?When I j woui to Colonel Aiderney's dairy opposite the Treasury to get my daily sand| nick this afternoon I saw the Hon. John i .Randolph Tucker, of Virginia, drinking j something out of the white China mugs Colonel Alderney serves his mill- m. When I expressed my astonishment that such a famous bon vivant should be drinking plain, everyday milk, he explained that he was not?that in point of fact it was buttermilk. ' 'Buttermilk and I," he said, "are old friends. We have made many a political campaign together. Why I used to be called 'buttermilk candidate' all through my district. Waerevcr I went to speak some good fellow would come up with 'I have a pitcher of buttermilk here for you,' 'Why so Live I,' some other fellow would say, and so I would usually start in with a" half a gallon of buttermilk on draught. It's the best drink you can possibly take when you are making a public speech, water inflames the tender throat, buttermilk cools and lubricates it ?and, besides, it is full of nourishment, and that is all important sometimes. Kenry A. Wise told me of it first in 1855, when I was just beginning my public life, and I have thank ed him for it ever since." Buttermilk seemed to have been the tide of Tucker's affairs which taken at its flood l td on to fortune, for he was elected Attornav General of Virginia in 1S57, when he was only thirty-four, and re-elected year after year until "1865. He won a splendid reputation. Then he went over to hl"?a "Wo/v{-nr> nrv/l T.AA ir <A.X+\* w V-'lUVCiOllJj Ck\j Lexington, -where he filled the chair of Equity and Public Law until 1875, when iie entered upon twelve years of service in the House* of Representatives, which snded last spring only because he wished it, for he declined arenomination, which :ras equivalent to a re-election. Tucker's public life las been uniformy fortunate. His work has almost always been in the direct line of his profession, notably so during the two Confesses just past, when he was Chairman >f the Judiciary Committee of the iouse. His high integrity, his brilliant ntelligence, finding expression in a witty ongue, and his charming courtesy have eeured him the respect and regarl of lis friends and foes?political foes, of :ourse. I don't see how Randolph l acker could ever have had any i>ersonal oes. Jin elder in the Presbyterian Church, his life agreed with his profesion. The best story-teller in Washington, he had more dinner invitations than ny other man in public life, and he :new a good dinner as quickly as a good fcory when h$ saw one. His hair and lis mustache are getting gray, but bis heeks are as ruddy and his eyes as parkiing behind his gold-rimmed glasses s ever. Xcw that he is sixty years old e thinks it about time he should make Dice money, and so he has settled down i practice law with every prospect of larked success. No lawyer, whatever is reputation, can make in Washington iuu,uw or j^uu/juu, cr wnarever it is lat Colliding makes a year in New "iork. tat a man of Tucker's standing can iake a small fortune in a few years.

The number of things that a man ke could do vitli the money some I our millionaires don't know "what to 0 with would astonish the millionaires. Ithough Judge Tucker has not got his brary ali. unpacked yet ha is already up 1 his ankles in eases. The appeal of ie Chicago Anarchists to the United bates Supreme Court is one of them, "hen I ticker was askei by a horrorrieken friend the other day: "What, ill you defend the Anarchists?" he re.icd: "I will defend the Constitution." is, of course, solely for the reason tat he believes their constitutional ghts have been infringed that he has ken the case of those wretched felloes, a does not see how any lawyer iiould fuse to defend any man in the right laranteed Lira by the Constitution.
