Generally Discussed.

Mr.. G. W. Curtis Gives the Honor

WENDELL PHILLIPS AND ROCKINGHAM.
BOSTON. April u, 1875.

Boston, April 10 1875.
The rival celebrations II Concord and Lexng-
ton are based upon the idea 81 eacn town that the
war began WITHIN It's lmis THIS point being in
dispute, l called to-day upon some Of the leading
citizens 70 ascertain their views in regard 10 the
matter at issue,
WHAT MR. CHARLES HUDSON SAYS.
The first person 10 whom | spoke was Mr..
Charles Hudson, or Lexington, very prominent
man, and the historian Of that place.
Mr.. Hudson said that upon Que point--yiz., that
she first blood she'd the l9tn OF APRIL l7T5 was
In Lexington-tnere was no dispute. he said
ne believed, however that Concord claimed that
the voley nred by the British on Lexington
common was not returned. This was a mistake.
There Is ample testimony 10 show that me IRE on
that day was returned. Elijah Sanderson made
out the case very clearly in 1927. and IL seems
reasonably ceriain that Ptcairn's morse was
Eounded By one or the shots from the retreainr
PATRIOTS Not only did Solomon Brown repeatedly
are AZ them from Bnckman's Tavern, but many
Dtner shots we're also nred
WHAT Mr.. MUZZy SAYS
Alter converting with Mr.. Hudson / spoke 70
Mr. Muzzy, one Of the encyclopedias 81 the town,
VINO merely laughed very heartily at the idea that
there could be any dispute IN REGARD to the point
he said tne nrst hood sned between the British
and the armed Americans was saed 81 Lexington.
WHAT Mr.. JAMES Q. NELvIS SAYS.
Subsequently ! conversed with Mr.. James q.
Melvin. OF Concord, on the same subject
Ar. Melvin drew q very funny picture OF the
devices or the Lexington people 10 secure for
themselves the chief glory OF the 1stn OF April,
and that Concord never claimed that the
nrst blood shed IN the Revolution was spilled IN
thar town. Undoubtedly eight patriots we're
Killed oy the British in Lexington before DAVIS
-. 49, nrrNsw
WHAT CONCORD CLAIMS
II must be remembered, however. that there
were massacres BY the British troops before the
massacre At Lexington, though none we're SO
elective 10 aTouslng the American people.
what Concord cafns Is. that the nrst armed re-
sls'ance was maze IN That town; that the hgnt a.
Concord North Bridge was the nrsi time the Amer
leans me- the BRITISH grenaders IN arms, aud,
consequently, tsat that battle glorious "a itself
