It wm agreed \to invite auCb <.k>u federate vetferaus of the battle of Chlckamauga as were lu Washington to unite in formlug a Chlckamauga Memorial Association. This Joint conference wti held oarthe following day in the room of the Sen ate Committee on Military Affair. Those present wero Gen*. Roseerans. Bfllrd, Reynolds, Ciat, Mandersotl, Boyu toil and Col. Kellogg, of the Uulon offi cers. and Gen. Bato, of Teuneaaee. 0>l Qultt, of Georgia, Gen. Walthall, of Mlaalaslppl, Gena. Morgan and Whee ler, of Alabama. Wright, of Tennessee, and Cola. Bankhead, of Alabama, and Morgan, of Misaissipp}. Thus the project grew, enlisting in ita service distinguished cltlseus in the North aild South. When the question arose in the forming of an ^association asking congressional aid for the pur* chase of the battlofield, Gen. Boy n ton conceived the Idea of enlarging the scope of the scheme so as to embrace the nota ble fields of lx>okont Mountain and Mis sionarv Ridge. and the leaser affair* of tho battle of Chattanooga, and estab lishing the whole as a national park Un? der tho control of the Secretary 6f War. The hill was drawn authorising tho Pccittary, through a commission of Ijffc own selection, to establish the park. It was placed in the hands of Gen, CIiuh. H. Groavcuor. an Influential mem. be- of t*o House of Repreaentatlvea from Ohio, who served with signal dis tinction at Chlckamauga, and who was a prominent member of the Society <>f the Army of the Cumberland. Gen. Grosvenor, who Is aa active in legisla tive campaigns as he was on the fields of battle thirty and odd years ago championed the measure with . special energy . It was referred to, the House committee on military affairs, and by them favorably reported . It was not until the closing hours of Congress, thst unanimous consent was asked to call up the measure. A ..single objeetiah would have defeated the request. None was made. This was the more re markable' when it is remembered that the River and Harbor bill, in which every member waa Interested, Had which they were desirous to dispose of. was be fore the House. The biU was read, a*d rushed through the House, dispensing with the reading of the report of the committee, and the measure passed in twenty-three minute*. In the Senate equal consideration waa showU to the measure. The ^Sandrr^Clvll appropria tion bill waa before that body when Sen ator Hawley, of Connecticut, naked that the Park bill be taken up. It was read and pa ssed^im mediately. The Senate Clerk, GJeit Anaogj/G. McOook, of the Ighttyg <McCoc$s, who participated In the battle of Lookout Mountain, proved .to, be a faater reader than the House clerk; and ?rr result the btlt passed the Senate in twenty minutes. It was tak en that night to President Harrieen, by Mr. H. Clay Evans, of Chattanooga, who represented that district in the House, and who was the recent Repub lican candidate for the Governorship of. Tennessee. The President promptly signed it, the national park wasr^an thorised, and an appropriation of/|125, 000 made available to teflon t hf work. Senator Proctor, of fifW York, who was then Secretajry _ wOum sr. selected the two civilian members of the oom mlttee, Qen. JOs. S. Fullertoto and Alexander Stewart, with C?t. Kel logg, of the? Fourth Cavalry, whdm he detailed mm the army officer pjw^ vlded by law, and who waa also be secretary of the , commission OfffT"**. V. Boynton was appointed nWtorlan. All these gentlemen hfed served In the battles about Chattanooga, Gen. Ful Iferton as qjbief of the staff to Gen. Granger; Qen. Stewart as a division commander under Bragg 'and Capt. Kellogg as an aide on Gen. Thomas's staff. Gen. Boynton asserts U?t tb? bat tle of Chlckaraauga iUdAi today m the moat stubbornly contested <6attle of the war. , He claims that ihe *>er centage of lta caaualtlea are found to exceed those of Napolaon's most noted battles, ss well as thoaf of all the latter fields of modern Europe. He goes on to show that the Third Westphal Ian Regiment became famoua through out the German army as the regiment which suffered the heaviest loas dur ing the Franoo-Prusslan war. It went into battle three thouaand string and Its loss was 49 per cent. There was nothing In the campaign of wglch th1a regiment formed a part which exoeed od theae figure*, yet In the American civil war there waa mona ttrtfn Mxty regiments whoae loas ev^eded thU.

"Wh?n Greek meetM Greek, then comes the tug it/ of war.,T^ How peculiarly appropriate to the seiiHatloual scenes enaotcd on the floor.^of tho constitutional conven tion today are the above words. The two greatest of the rcoognlsed reform lexers-? Tillman and Irby? along with other stalwarts of the South Cam Una political, world, became entangled in a personal and political controversy that caused Irby to rake Tillman fore and aft. Fraternal relations were cast aside to the winds by the Tillman brothers, and time and again th* president had to call upon . the ier> geant at arms of the convention and order him to preserve the peaoe. No suoh sensational event, It It safe to say, , has ever occurred In the state of South Carolina within the past de cade. The slumbering volcano began to give forth Its premonitory rum bliugs soon after the speech of Kx Congressman Tillman on Saturday, and during Sunday night these rumb lings became louder and more threat ening in oharaoter. The atmosphere was warm. The mass of brimstone flowed downward In ever-Increasing volume, and, the peaceful bosom 6i the ' sea of harmony, upon the, borders of which the delegates have been standing for a whole week, was ntndo tumult\iou?. In fact," peace and harmony were engulfed and flis apjWred ks completely as ever did Pompeii. - ? There were si-enea enacted there that those who Avltneesed them will never forget; words that were uttered by the impassioned men that noth^pg ever wipe from the pages of South Carolina's his tory . The Tillman brothers were par ticularly severe upoi>.-biie another. One single word ? "Butler" was. the cause of the whole explosion, and the (flow of dy namite charged verbal darts that were fired thick and fast. The whole thing oame from George D. Tillman's speech in regard to the establishment of But ler county, 'and the action of the con vention in so establishing and naming the county In tho absence (of Senator Tillman. The Senator was jjfeyer more bitter/ perhaps, tn lfrfa whole career. Things thatrJie said of. Gen. Butler were rough *4li the extreme, and he did not mince words in speaking of his eld er brother* His whole frame as he Spoke/' seemed to quiver with passioK Irby too, /vpoke with more energy arnr passion than he has ever yet been known to display. / Ben Tillman attacked the character of Gen. Butler In strong language. He said Butler had disgraced his name. He spoke of his absence fallen hi* brother 'spoke on Saturday. L*d" (with delib eration), "It is perhaps fortunste that I was not here for from what I read in the papers as to the speech made on this floor, and what I hare heard from gentlemen since* my arrival as to It, I might have beenVunaMe to discuss the matter In cold Wood." Now, however, be considered the matter deliberately, from tho standpoint of reason. There are reasons of s two fold character why I would pray God to bo delivered from the ta*k, t?nt whenever dqtyralls me I have answered to the caJf.' S It can not be ssld that I have yet shirked any duty or remained quiet under such cir cmnstanres. 1 have therefore,' \ risen, sir, to do justice to the living and to the dead. - Three- f?>rfrthB of the people of the aec Hon , coirfpofting the new county wanted the nnmc of 8a hula. Some bad Mid that It waa becanae he wan opposed to (trlnf the county the name of that man Butler, well, that waft true. bat that waa not tbe greateat reason. Al ready the newa bad been flashed far and wide that the reform convention of South Carolina had nat down ui>on the reform leghdature of South Carolina, which re pudiated Butler and elected him to the Senate. They tell you to leave out M. C. Bfltler, and it will be heralded from one end of South Carolina, and thia county to the other that we have re pudiated your legislature. Why caA't we afford to change it buck to what II waa when the ordinance appeared. Talk about names of families. ' Why have you no counties named for illuiitrious Haync, Mcpuffie, Hamlin and otbera?

It was the most Boo table speech yet delivered in the ow_. venUon, and ono of the strongest ever made In the old hall. He held his hearers almost spellbound, and old veterans shook his hand when he con cluded. He appeared as th4 eham-~ plon of the Butler family, notwlth- i.: standing the f?ft>t that his brother and Sonator Butler had such a bitter fight for the Senate last summer.
