The KosclUsKo CASE SETTLED

The koscIUsKo CASE SETTLED
This Case, it is well known, has been II
subject OF controversy in the Courts of
this District for upwards of 81 years.
The part which the gallant Pole, Kos
ciusko, bore in the battles OF the
American Revolution, is gratefully
trcaSurcL<n history. In l79S he ma,,.
a will, and left President Jefferson his
Executor, but Mr.. Jefferson did no,
quality. In 1906 kosciu>ku made I'm
other Will, in which hc left legacy to
koscinsko Armstrong: and in 1916 he
made still another will in Paris.
France, in which he left some small
lcgacics to various persons, rcvokiuy
all '"rncr wills, but made no reference
/" his property in this country. Qucs
tions involved in this last will came
before Justice Purcell, oflhc Orphans
Court, who decided that the will exc
cntcd in France, in 1916, was the last
VIII and testament, and that it revoke
all former wills. but that Gen. k,lsci.
lisKo died intc. tate as TO the estate i'm
the United States. aud that his proper
ty descended to lis heirs at law, ac.
c"rdins 10 the heir>hip proved in
France.
An appeal to the L. S. Circuit Court
Tor this District was taken hy one OF
he 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 tu was unani,nu,:slv at'
ilrmcd, with Il decision tIa, ,lis,IiLu.
ton should be made accordingly
since which time the sum of about
SOL 900 has been received and secured
t" be paid to the counsel for the heirs
IA portion Of it within the past week.
Aud it is Il coincidence, that Just about
the time, the bust of kusciusko, il,
plaster, was exposed to view in the
ro;"nda Of The Capitol II"yAinyt,n
.Senhnci.

We have been requested to call the
attention OF the ladies Of this District
to this Association, which has been
formed in Charleston, and elsewhere
over our State, for tho noble purpose Of
raising funds 10 erect Il suitable M,mn-
1ncnt to the memory Of JonN c. CAL
HouN. 1t is purposcd to establish y
branch in SumtcrviIc and thus rive
the old Game.cock District a chaucc of
maniicsting 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 the ladies' of
Sumter will take the matter in 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 swectcr or more appropriate tribute
to our great Statesman than this pro.
posed plan of the Iukies erecting a
Monument to his memory, and it does
seem to us that if his immortal spirit
over visits earth it would hover around
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 aud that they will
rcbnkc the miscrly conduct of the last
Legislature and teach future ones that
they must carry into the affairs of
State some Of that noblcncss Of mind
and heart which will tend TO nurture
