The koscIUsKo CASE SErrLEp.--
This Case, it is well known, has been n
subject Of controversy in the Courts of
this District for upwards of 81 years.
lhc part Which the gallant Pole, Kos,
ciusk", bore in the battles of the
American Revolution, is gratefully
trcaSurcLIn history. In l79S he made
a will, and left President Jefferson his
Executor, but Mr.. Jefferson did no,
quality. In 1906 kosciu>ku made an
other Will, in which he left legacy to
kosclusko Armstrong and in 1916 he
made still another will in Paris.
France, in which he left some small
lcgacIcs to various persons, rcvokinu
all former wills, but made no reference
to his property in this country. Qucs
tions involved in this last will came
before Justice Purcell, Of The Orphans
Court, who decided that the will exc.
c'tcq IN France, in 1916, was the last
VIII and testament, and that it revoked
all former wills. but that Gen. kusci
lsKo died intr tate rs to the estate i'm
the United States, aud that his proper.
ty descended to ..is heirs at law. ac.
cnrdinS 10 the hrirship proved in
France.
An appeal to The L. S. Circuit Court
Tor this District WAS taken hy one of
the parties, and, with other questions
from that Court, carried to the Supreme
Court of the United States. where the
decision Of Judge Purcell on the wills
above referred to was unanimously af
llrmcd, with il decision that ,listIiLu.
ton should be made accordingly ::
since which time the sum of about
$4,000 has been received and secured
tu be paid To the counsel for the heirs
IA portion Of it within the PAST week.
And it is u coincidence, tlla, Just about
the time, the bust of kosciusko. IN

We have been requested to call the
attention of the ladies Of this District
to this Association, Which has been
formed i'll Charleston, and elsewhere
orer our State, for tho noble purpose Of
raising funds 30 erect Il suitable Mnnn
Incnt to the memory OF JonS c. CAL-
HoCN. 1t Is PurpUscd to establish 4
branch in SumtcrvlIc and thus give
the old Game.cock District chance of
manitcstiny its known patriotism and
its love and reverence of the true
and great. The necessary papers with
the Constitution. &c, have been sent
from Charleston and we understand
are in possession of some of the ladies'
Of tho village. We hope tic Ia,lics of
Sumter will take the matter i'm hand
at an early day, and contribute their
portion towards honoring the memory
Of him, who for Carolina lived and for
Carolina died. We can conceive Of
no swecter or more appropriate tribute
10 our great Statesman than this pro.
posed plan Of the Iu,iics crcctine a
Monument to his memory, and it does
seem to us that if his immortal spirit
over visits earth it would hover arounJ
that pile with purcr and more intense
delight from the fact that it was erected
by the hands of the innocent and fair.
We hope the ladies will not let the
thing fall through and that they will
rcbukc the miscrly conduct OF the last
Legislature and teach future ones that
they must carry into the affairs of
State some Of that noblenoss Of mind
and heart which will tend to nurture

it had the year before, and I per cent.
less than the year following, Willie the
