In the center of the stage was a fountain half hidden from view in a Tvsrer of blossoming plants. Against the stage drop in the rear stood a bust of Lee. On either side was a stack of Confederate colors and beside them the coats of arms of Maryland and Virginia-. The boxes on either side of the stage were dressed in the Confeder ate colors and the colors of Maryland and Virginia. Miss Mary Lee antf Miss Mildred Lee, daughters of Gen. E. E. Lee, assisted in the reception of the guests. The Army of Northern Virginia met in the hall of the house of delegates last night and heard an address by Gen. E. M. Low, of South Carolina. The election of officers for the ensuing year was then held, after which the body adjourned to Sanger Halle, and partook of a banquet. It was the largest gathering of the asso ciation since the war. UNVEILING CEREMONIES. QoL Anderson's Oration?Gen. John ston Pulls the Cord. Richmond, Va., May 30.?With blare of trumpets, beating of drums and the booming of cannon the monument to Gen. Robert E. Lee, erected by the ladies of the south, was unveiled in the presence of a great multitude of people. During the passage of the processional column through the principal streets of the city there was a continuous ovation. Iis progress was much impeded by the crowd that filled the streets, and- it was nearly 2 o'clock when the monument was reached. An enormous crowd was in waiting there. A large stand in front of the monu ment hau been reserved for the distin guished guests, the o.-ator of the day and ladies. It was well fiile.1 when the procession ar rived, and the grand marshal dismounted and offered his arm to Gen. Joe .John ston to escort him to the seat re served for him. When Governor McKinney, Col. Anderson and the other distinguish ed guests and ofi? OOV, M KINNE Y. ^ ?f thft ^ ?storrteul taken positions.on the front of the stand, the procession passed in re view liefore them, the veteran infantry leading and the veteran cavalry and volunteer infantry bringing up the rear. Preliminary Exercises. When the organization was complete aaid something like quiet rt>uld Im; had, Governor McKinney. as president of the Lee monument, arose and called the as semblage to order. Governor McKinney said it was his desire not to perpetuate animosity or excite bitterness of feeling in any por tion of this country, but to express the love and adoration of the people of the south for those who h?d fallen in their behalf. That feeling was unconquer able and eternal. Amid all the southern states there existed a feeling of love for the Confederacy. 44 Which," ho said, "is now dead." Governor McKinney called attention to the fact that all of the Confederate states were represented in the gather ing. He named each state and the chief representatives which it had sent to the exercises. As he named in succession Reagan, Longstreet, Gordon, Holt. Hampton and Johnston, each name was greeted with prolonged cheering. After a brief invocation by Rev. Charles Minnigerode, of the Episcopal church. Governor McKinney introduced Gen. Early as chairman of the meeting. He was greeted with prolonged applause COf? a KCl I RH ANDERSON, an ! cheering. Taking the gavel from Governor McKinney"* hand, Gen. Early announced in -a few well chosen words the orator of the occasion, Coi. Archer Anderson. Col. Anderson's Address. When the applause had subsided, Col. Anders*m said: Kollow citizens: A people carves Its own imjifff in t ue monuments- of its great men. Not Virginians only, not only those whe <iwe!l in the fair Und stretching from the Potomac to the Rio Grande, hut all who bear the American name, mav proudly consent that posterity n\ik\l jnd*? them by the struc ture which we are here to dedicate and crown with a heroic ligure. For, as the Latin poet saht that wherever the Roman name and sway extended, t her? shdold h? the se-.m le h re of Pompeii, so today in every part of America the character and fame of Koberl Ivi ward Leo are treasured as' a "possession for ?II tine.** Atel if this be tree of that great: name, what shall he s?aid of the clrcuimtnnce* which surround us on this day of solemn comm?mor?t 1?h?

Oft? men struggled for the mastery during kmr years of tierce and bloody conflict, we bfcoirid tsse tho southern stales rn complete possession of their local self government, the federal constitution unchanged, save as re spects- ?he great issues submitted to Die ar bitrament of war, and the defeated party, whilst in full and patriotic sympathy with all the prescrit grandeur and imperial promise of a reunited country, still not held to renounce any glorious memory, hut free to heap honors upon their trusted leaders, living or dead all this reveals a character in which the American people may well he content to lie handed down to history. All this and more will be the testimony of the solid fabric we here complete. It will re call the generous initiative and unflagging zeal of those noble women of the south to whom in large measure we owe this auspi cious day. It will bear its lasting witness as the voluntary offerings of the people, not the governments, of the southern states; and. standing a-* a perpetual mnmorial of our great leader, it will not loss stand as an enduring record of what, his feHow citizens deemed most worthy to be honored. Virginia's Honored So, s. It is t he singular felicity of this common wealth of Virginia to have produced two stainless ?aptaias. The fame of the one, con gen. LEES RICHMOND RESIDENCE, serrated by a century of universal reverance and the growth of a collossal empire, the re sult of his horde labors, has b-?en comaiem orated in this city by a monument in whose majestic presence no man ever received the suggestion of a thought that did not exalt humanity. The fame of the other, not yet a generation old. and won in a cause which was lost, is already establishe I by that impartial judgment of foreign nations which antici pate9 *-he verdict of the next age. npoa an equal pinnacle, and millions of our country men, present hore with us in our thoughts and echoing back from city and plai i and mountain top the deep and reverent voice of this vast multitude, will this Jay confirm our solemn declaration that the m<*numi*nt to George Washington has foua 1 its o ai y fitting complement aud comp.t.iijii i-.i a :u>au.u~Mi to Hoben E. Lee. It Is the recognition in Lee of the principal " elements of high ideal?courage, will, energy, insight, authority?the organizing mind with its eagle glance and temperament for com mand, broad, based upon fortitude, hopeful ness,, joy in battle, all exalted by heroic pur pose and kindled With the glow of an uncon Querablo soul; it is, besides and ab-Sve all, the unique combination in him of moral strength with moral beauty: of ail that is great in heroic action with all that is good in common life, that will make of this pile of stones a sa cred shrine dear throughout tue coming ages ?not to soldiers only, but to all "helpers and friends of mankind/1 The orator then went into an elaborate bio graphical review of the life and character of Gen. Lee. His marriage to the great-grand daughter of -Washington's wife formed a tie -which connected him by daily association of family and place with Washington's fame and character, and it may well be believed that Lee made Washlngt >n his model of pub lic duty. Lee's personal appearance and moral char acteristics in his early manhood, and bis ser vices in Mexico, especially at the battle of Contreras, were sketched lightly. "History,'* said the orator, "will record, as Scott himself nobly admitted, that Lee was Scott's right arm in Mexico." After leading up to the period wheu it became necessary for Gen. Lee to make his choice of which side he should right on in the coming conflict. Col. Anderson said: No more painful struggle ever tore the heart of a patriot. He had served the whole country in a gallant army which commanded all his affection. He butter than most men knew the great resources of the north and west. He know northern men in their homes; THE RECUMBENT STATUE. [Over Gen. Lee's grave at Lexington, Va.] he knew the bravery of the northern soldiers who filled our regular regiments in Mexico. He was above the prejudices and taunts of the day which belittled northern virtue and courage. He knew that, with slight external differences, there was a substantial-identity of the American race in all the states north and south. lice's Views on Slavery. Ho was equally above the-weak and pas sionate view of slavery as good in its df, into which the fanatical and unconstitutional agitation of the Abolit ion party had driven many strong minds in the south. He regarded slavery as an evil which the south had in herited and must be left to mitigate, and, if possible, extirpate by wise and gradual measures. He, if any man of that tini", was capable- of weighing with calmness the duty of the hour. With hi in the only question then, as at every moment of his spotless life, was to And out which way duty pointed. Against the urgent solicitations of Gaa. :Scott. in defiance of the tempting? of am -bition?for the evidence is complete that the command of the United States army was of fered to him?in manifest sacrifice of all his pecuniary interests he determined that duty bade him side with his beloved Virginia. He laid down his commission and solemnly de clared his purpose never to draw his sword savi_ in behalf of his native state. The orator then carried h is audience with him th.: ou ;h the battles of the late war in which Gen. ! Leo's army participated. In the attack 01 Cheat Mountain he laid his plans with skill and vigor, but the attack ended with failure and mortification. The verdict of the gen eral public on him at this time, the wiuter of 1?2, might have been summed up in the his torian's judgment of Galba, who "by com mon consent would have bee a de -med fit to command ha 1 he never commanded." After Gen. Johnston's retirement from so vere wounds, Lee assumed command of the Army of Northern Virginia. The loss of Richmond at any time .would probably have been fatal to the Confederacy, aud this fact will explain and justify in Lee's conduct many apparent violations of sound principles of war. The various movements and the re sultant battles by which he sought to effe t this object?the protection of Richmond were sketched with a bold hand. His cam paigns against McCiellan and McDowell raised him in the minds of friend and foe to the full stature of a great and daring leader. The advance to the Rapidan, the Invasion of Maryland and the but tie of Sharp iburg were outline'!. Here Leo, said the orator, gave the supreme proof of a greatness of soul as much above depression uador reverses as elation in success. In such moments the army feel the lofty genius of their leaders. They acknowledge his royal right to command. They recognize their proud privilege to fodow and obey. To such leaders only is it given to form heroic soldiers. Such were the ragged, half starved men in gray who -stood with Lee at Sharps burg.. It is the vision of some such moment, perhaps, that our sculptor, Mercie,has caught with his eve of genius and fixed iu imperish able bronze. The general has ridden up. it seems to me. iu some pause of battle, to the swelling crest of the front line, and, while the eyes of the soldiers are fastened on him in keen expectancy, but unwavering trust, the great leader?silent and alone with his dread responsibility?is scanning, with calm and penetrating glance, the shifting phases and chances of the stricken field. A Commanding Figure, Such is the commanding figure which will presently be unveiled to your view; dull indeed must bo the imagination that docs not hence forth people this plain with invisible hosts and compass Lee about, now and forever, with the love and devotion of embattled ranks of hero.c men in gray. The campaign of with the battles of Chancellors vide?which, in the rator's opinion, will rank with Blen heim, Auslerlitz, and Jena as a model battle ?and Fredericksburg, resulting in forcing the Un'on army behind the Rappahannock, is next reviewed. Gettysburg and Grant's cam paign iu ;&!, iu which he steadily Beat back Lee, who crossed his path and confronted him at every turn, bring the orator up to the evacuation of Richmond, when notai ng re mained to the Army of Northern Virginia,but itsstainles-. honor, its unbroken courage. In the last solemn scenes, continued CoL Anderson, when strong men, losing all self control, broke down aud sobbed lise child ren, Lee stood forth as great as in the days of victory and triumph. No disaster crushed his spirit: no extremity of danger ruffled hi< bearing. He looked the stubborn facti calmly in the face, aud when n ? milit try re- j source remained, when he rceo rniz A the impossibility of making another march or lighting another battle he bowed nis hea I in submission to that power which makes and unmakes nations. The surren ter of the frag ments of the Army of Northern Virginia closed the impcrisaable record of his military nfe. What a catastrophe! What a moving and pathetic contrast! Our belief in it rests upon the unanimous testimony of the men who lived and acted with him. among whom nothing is more com mon than the declaration that L-e was the purest and best man of action whose career history has recorded. In Iiis whole life, laid hare to the gaze of the world, the ?e.ist friend ly criticism has never discovered one single deviation from the narrow path of rectitude and honor. What was strained eulogy witen Montesquieu said of another great soldier, Turenne, that "r.is life was a hymn ia praise of humanity." is, if applied to Lee, the lan guage of sober truth. No man " can consider hi* life without a feeling of renewed hope and trust in mankind. On the one side, complete and dazzling tri umph after a long succession of humiliating disasters; on the other, absolute ruin and de feat?a crown of thorns for that peerless army which hitherto had known only the victor's laurel. But the magnanimity of the conqueror, not less than the fortitude of the vanquished, shone out on the sol -mn scene and softened its tragic outlines of fate and doom. The moderation and good sense of the northern people, breathing the large and gen erous air of our western world, quickly re sponded to Grant's example, and though the north was afterward betr-tyed into fanatical aud baleful exceis on more than one great subjec*, al. i.u- uercer pas.?a>ii.-> >> j. w.^.-Uj civil war were rapidly extinguished.

C, WEDNESDAY, .JUNE 4, 1890. Sew Series?Vol. IX. No. 43. HISTORY OF THE MONUMENT. Inception of the Enterprise That Is Now Completed. Gen. Robert E. Lee died on Oct. 12, 1870. On Oct. 24,1870, a call was issued by Gen. Jubal A. Early, asking the sur vivors of the army of Northern Virginia to organize a Lee Monument associa tion. In pursuance of this call a repre sentative meeting was held in the First Presbyterian church in Richmond on the 25th of October. It wa? called to order by Gen. Bradley T. Johnson, who nominated Gen. Jubal A. Early as tem porary chairman. Hon Jefferson Davis was made permanent president, and the long list of vice presidents was headed by Maj. Gen. James B. Gordon. The Association Formed. It was resolved to form an association to erect a monument at Richmond to the memory of Robert E. Lee as an en during testimonial of love and devotion to his fame, and for the purpose of se curing the requisite efficiency an ex ecutive committee of seven, with a president, etc., was appointed to invito and collect subscriptions, to procure de signs for the said monument, and to do whatever else is required in the prem ises. Thus the monument movement was formally inaugurated, with Gen. Early as president of the association. All portions of the state organized memo rial associations and proceeded to ac tive work. In a short time $20,000 had been collected. It was necessary that this sum should be invested. It was sent to the late W*. W. Corcoran, who invested it to very great advautage. The Lee Monument associations were merged into the State Monument asso ciation; the governor, the first auditor and the treasurer of the state were to represent the state Virginia and three lady members of the original ladies1 as sociation were to serve on the board of directors of the new organization. By this time the monument fund had reached $60,000, most of which had been collected during the administration of Governor Kemper. Growth of the Fund. In the meantime, when Fitzhugh Lee came into the executive office the Lee Monument fund had sufficiantly in creased to insure the success of the monument. The Lee monument was indeed one of Governor Lee s pet ideas. After many meetings of the board the present location at the head of Franklin street was decided upon. Mercie, of Paris, was selected as the sculptor. On the 27th of October, 1887, the cor nerstone of the monument was laid with splendid ceremonies, the United States Marine band being conspicuous in the parade. On the 3d. of April the statue was shipped from Havre on the steamer Othello, reaching New York on the 30th of April, and arriving in Richmond May 3. On the 7th it was unpacked and drawn through the streets from the depot to the pedestal, thousands of en thusiastic citizens?men, women and children?having hold of the ropes. A beautiful and inspiriting recumbent figure of Lee in marble, by Valentine, was unveiled at Lexington. This was not ordered by the Lee Monument as sociation, but was the enterprise of a Lexington association. The Sculptor. Marins Jean Antoine Mercie is recog nized by all artists in Europe as a man of genius. Besides being a sculptor he is a painter of renown. He is associated with Falguiere in making the Lafay ette statue which is designed for La fayette square, op posite the presi dent's house, in Washington city. Mercie is 4.1 years of age. His bronze k statue of the young > David, in th? Lux embourg palace collection is often pointed out as his m. mercie. masterpiece. It was shown in 1872. Others call the Muse of Art on Pegasus?"Gloria Vic tus," 1877?the greatest of his achieve ments. He has. however, done no work more inn; ortant to his fame than the equestrian st:itue of Robert E. Lee. Pujol's Superb Pedestal. A word or two remains to be said of the pedestal, which is at the same time a strong and elegant piece of architec ture designed by Pujol, also a French man, who is celebrated for his work all over Europe. As has been stated, the pedestal is forty feet high, larger at the base than at the top. By itself it would stand a noble and impressive monument. The material is fine granite, which takes on a beautiful polish, and is much used for mortuary memorials. On the eastern and western panels is the simple word "Lee" in large raised block letters. The ends of the pedestal are rounded and - beautifully carved. The whole stands like a magnificent altar, approached by many steps per fectly in harmony with the massive grandeur of the superincumbent bronze. The stat* e is unquestionably the finest equestrian statue in America. It im presses the beholder with awe by its magnificent beauty and harmony. It conveys the impression of Lee's dignity of bearing. No picture can reproduce it. Like the great painting Beatrice Cenci, which no painter has succeeded in exactly copying, so is Mercie's Lee.
