STATUE OF GEN. LEE.
Bronze Efiigy Will bo Placed in Statuary
Hall at Washington by Old
Dominion Stato.
Washington, July 2:1. ?The people
throughout the whole South may reasonably
be expected, to take an interest
in tlie placing of a statue of
Gen. Robert E. Lee in Statuary hall
in the United Stales capitol." The
State of Virginia will place this statue
there, and il has just been cast
in bronze at. Porvidence, R. I., by
Edward V. Valentine. Before the
end of I lie present year il should be
ready to be unveiled. And when this
ceremony does take place, do not
doubt that there will he interest; in it
on both sides of the Mason and Dixon
line. Already protests have been
heard from certain G. A. R. agitators,
who are afraid I hat if (Jen. Lee is not
^ put down in history as an arch traitor
and rebel I heir pensions might be
cut of). I he real heart of the North
seems to have outgrown the bitterness
towards the South, and the
whole country is in position to recognize
the greatness of Lee and to accord
him a place among the country's
groat est men. I tut not all the demagogues
are dead yel, and some of the
(>. A. R. camps, as perhaps some of
the Confederate survivors' camps,
are presided over or at least greatly
influenced by demagogues. There
are a heap of demagogues in tho
world. So listen for a few screeches
when the Lee statue is unveiled.
This will be the first memorial to
a Confederate hero whose chief claim
to distinction is his service to the
Confederacy which .mywhere appears
in the eapilol or in any of the
buildings of the Cnitcd Stales government.
There is alrefidy in Statuary
hall one Confederate, Dr. .1. L.
M. Curry, a member of the Confederate
congress, placed there by his
native Stale of AlaTtama. but Dr.
Curry had other claims to distinction
which out weighed those of a servant
"I the Confederacy. Alabama and
lexas, by the way, are the only two
ol the seceded Stales which are
represented in Statuary hill, Texas
having contributed a statue of Sam
Houston within the past few years.
Hut Sam Houston was not a Confederate
soldier nor a man of whom
Texas in I ho "(ids was especially
proud. Two of the distinctively Southern
States before the war, that is
they were slave States, Maryland
and Missouri, each have two slaulues
in this hall, but. Kenulcky so far is
unrepresented. When South Carolina
puts in the statute of John C.
Calhoun, which is now being made in
New York by the sculptor Rucksi
uhl, and will be ready some time
during the present year, or ought to
be, then Kentucky will probably follow
with one of llenrv Clay. Who
the other one from Kentucky will be
there is also little douhl, for the most
dist iuguished and the greatest of
Kontuckiaus next to Clay was Daniel
lioone. Virginia has decided to puj^
in also a statue of Washington, a
bronze copy of its famous lloudon
statue in the capitol at Richmond.
This is the original of the one on the
State house grounds in Columbia, and
i he one Jefferson fironttounced the
best ever made of Washington.
There is a plaster cast copy of this
already in Statuary hall, sof back a
little from tlu? rest, but ft is not tho
one placed there by Virginia under
the regulation by which each State
is given the privilege of putting in
two statues.
Statuary hall was established in
I SIM at the suggestion of Senator
Morrill of Vermont, who, by the way
will turn over in his grave and groan
when the statue of Gen. Lee is unveiled,
if he has not already turned
over on account of the Curry figure.
Each Slate is invited to send "the
etligios of two of her chosen sons in
marble or bronze to be placed permanently
here.'' So it is left entirely
with the States themselves to
determine whose "elbgios" shall be
placed there. The G. A. R.'s can
kick all they want to and can not help
themselves. Hut, for all that, it is
safe to say that no Vermont senator
in IStil over dreamed that Robert 10.
I.oo would have a place in this Hall
of Came. If he had dreamed such a
thing he never would have moved to
establish it.
Tho Virginia legislative commission
which lias in charge the Lee statue
is in Washington today. They have
just been to Providence to inspect
the work and they pronounce it good.
Most of the statues, in fact all except
two or three, arc of marble. The
two Virginia figures, Washington and
Lee will, therefore, be conspicuous
for being of bronze.
This bronze figure of Gen. Lee is
exactly life size in every particular
and owing to a peculiar circumstance
no other sculptor could have made il.
A few months prior to Gen. Lcc's
death, ho was persuaded by friends
| wry much against his inclination, to
visit Mr. Valentine's stiulio. The
sculptor made measurements of his
body, Hie size of his head, its exact
shape, the breadth of the nose, width
of the mouth and so on.
Tho uniform worn by the general
in the statue was copied from the full
dress uniform worn by Gen. Lee at
the Appomalox surrender, which is in
the Confederate museum in the Jefferson
Davis mansion in Richmond.
The sword is an exact model of tho
one presented to the general by the
State of Maryland. (
