RICHMOND, VA, July 81, 1882.
To the Editor of the Dispatch:
hereby certify that | never paid Mr. William
jenkins any money on account OF the poor OF Hem
rico while he WAS chairman of the Committee or
the Poor, though he tried several times 10 collect
H. which was his duty, but did not succeed, as the
county was not ready 10 pay II. Furthermore,
did pay 10 Mr. Chesterman his successor the
money that Mr.. jenkins should have collected.

Whilst have my pen in hand will say
that | wish, as an act Of justice to Mr. w.
II. Beveridge, to say that in my interview
with the reporter for the Dispatch last
week | merely expressed what | had
guessed at, and did not speak from know
ledge. As Mr.. Beveridge thinks that did
him injustice in stating that he was at the
bottom OF Mr.. Chatlin's investigations, and
that for the purpose OF iniuring the Con-
servatiye party, | withdraw the offensive
remark. WILLIAM JENAiNs-

LOCAL MATTERS.



We give below our monthly record Of
statistics. They Will be found TO contain
an accurate summary OF the transactions
under the respective heads for the month
past:
METEOROLOGICAL.
The sub.oined table gives the readings
OF the thermometer, the course OF the
wind at sunrise, and the amount Of rain
fall for the month OF July. The
readings Of the thermometer were taken
in an elevated portion Of the city, free
from any influence OF refracted heat, and
from French instruments, showing the
highest and lowest points Of the mercury
during each twenty-four hours. 1t Is be-
lieved that no better situation for observa-
tions OF this character can be found in our
city. They have been carefully noted, and
are believed to be absolutely correct:

/, the Editor of the Dispatch:

To the Editor OF the Dispatch:
Please allow me space IN your valuable
column TO refresh the minds OF the puDllc
and the friends 1t large OF the following
statement, a part Of which we made some
time ago in your paper: In 1876 we pulled
down the old tuilding known as the First
African Baptist church, and erected on the
same site the present building. In 1871,
in the month OF March, we had an opening
service in the present building. AseImon
was preached by Rev. j. Il. Jeter'
ID. D., for the occasion. In Octo,
her. 1877. the basement was finished ana
dedicated. The church then decided not
to proceed further until we paid up as Tar
as we had gone, which, up to the spring OF
1881, we paid ?2O,557, interest inclnded.
The building was erected by building
committee without an architect. The con-
gregation, being dissatisfied with the looks
oi fhe building, decided TO employ an
architect TO draw plan for the remodeliing
Of the building. Mr.. Black was employed
a. the architect and Mr.. leopard was gwen
the contract for 80, 437, with the promise 10
nav $500 when the work Is compieteu
and notes for the balance at six, tweVe,
eighteen, and twenty-four months, at pei
cent interest. The church Is now COM
nleted. and will be dedicated next suhday

To the Editor Of the Dispatch :

Ia reply to Alderman Todd's card in
Sundays paper ] beg leave TO say it is true
he gave Inc leave to examine the accounts
OF his department. But when went with
Mr.. II. W. Brockenbrough. my selected
expert, Auditor ROyster declined to per-
nit such examination on the ground that
there was no law for it, and so Mr.. TOdd's
permit went for nothing. As to Mr.. Todd's
efforts to ridicule my efforts at reform by
calling me a "Sclf-reiOrmer," | have TO say
that | hope for the good name OF the
the name OF Alderman Todd among
the vouchers OF the Office as the
seller, directly or indirectly, OF many
thousand dollars worth OF supplies to the
city. Meanwhile | ask you to publish al
the foot OF this communication an act Of
Assembly which will show Mr.. Todd anC
others whether or no. the spirit and mean
ing, il not the very letter, OF the law for
bidding sales by councilmen and other city
officers has not been habitually violated.
Before concluding will add that, though
Mr.. Royster may not have heard OF the
per cent. commissions for selling bonds,
have the name Of the man, and il am per
mitted to employ an expert | will give il
to the public. TO do it sooner might caus'
the employment OF another attorney.
Will some one connected with past man
a9emcnt Of Committees on Relief OF tn
Poor explain the shortage OF S6GS.23 in tn
accounts OF that committee!
Respectfully, Il. B. CHAFFIN.
