ii our dnty to give our readers an
account of: The scono is laid in

the parties connected with the
scene were Mcssrs. Ed. II. Mathes,
James Listor, justice Of the peace,
Hugh II. McVeigh, G.. Il. Brickey
and Edward Parry. The subject
under discussion was certain charg
es supposed TO have been made by
Mr.. J. o. Blackwood, against Mr..
Mathes. Mr.. Mathcs having read
to Mr.. McVeigh The card which we
published IN our last weeks issue
regarding these charges. then SAID
to Mr.. McVeigh, Sm you are the
law partner and friend of John 0.
Blackwood, and | now give you
notice that | intend to kiH hiu on

"The Legislature changed the

the school law, which was made to
conform with the revenue bill, and
vetoed the later. According tc
this change IN the school law, the
time fixed for holding the annual

Oar IiInstrtous French Quests ON
she (olnntock.

A delegation Of the representatives of
France at the recent centennial cele-
bration AT Yorktevn arrived OH this
mornings train. says tho Chronieic of
Saturday. and received an enthusiastic
reception. The names Of the party are
as follows: General Boulanger. Colonel
Bossan, Major DePusey. Comte de Beau
mont, Marquis do rEs,rade. Captain Dc
la Chere. Captain D'Abbeville, Lieut..
DeSahune. q. D.Sahune, Lieut.. De
Noailles and Lieui. De eGonviIle. The
Comstoek has been visited by many
distinguished men and by numberless
PROFESSIONS OF foreign and Eastern
tourists. yet it may fairly DO said Ihnt
this party comprises by far the most
distinguished appearing body OF men
who have ever inspected the sterile
slopes of Mount Davidson. AtllAM,
the party, with the reception committee
of leading French citizens, some twenty
five in number. sat down 20 a bang uet
at the French Rotisserie, which proved
entirely worthy Of the occasion. A pro.
fusion OF culinary and liquid triumphs
were consumed. The toasts were fre-
qutnt and happily made and received.
Among tho visitors present were j. NJ.
Taylor, representing the bonanza firm,
and newspaper reporters. 1t may be
noted that there were ai the table four
direct descendants of Lafayette, and a
grandson OF that French captain OF
artillery who made so gallant stand at
Yorktown a century ago. Col. Bossan,
who commands a regiment OF dragons
in France, which has won a more than
national IenOwu, said hat their recep.
tion here had been NAKED by feeling
and enthusiasm which had done more
to convince him and his party Of u
genuine spirit of fratepal feeling than
any OF the numerous receptions which
had been rendered them throughout
their tour. At the conclusion of the
| banquet the party inspected the lower
levels, by way Of the @. " c. shaft, and
generally expressed themselves as more
! pleased and interested with their novel
experiences bere than at any other point
Of their route.
