The Proposed Confederate Monument.-

Mayor Latrobe received a number of letters yesterday in regard to the resolution granting a site for the erection of a monument to the Confederate dead, the majority of them being from ex-Confederate soldiers. One gentleman wrote that he had heard it said that “the corner-stone of this monument would never be laid without bloodshed,” and, believing this to be true, he earnestly besought the mayor to veto the resolution. Others expressed the hope that he would sign the resolution, and one gentleman, a resident on Eutaw Place, said it any of those living near where the monument is to be built object to it, he would exchange houses. The resolution not having come before him, they mayor declined to express an official opinion in regard to this particular case, but said he thought the erection of such monuments in a city like Baltimore, where the people are divided in sentiment, must tend to excite discord and ill-feeling. He had subscribed to the fund for a Confederate monument, but he was opposed to the city granting a site to either the Confederates or Federals for the erection of monuments.
