CHARLESTON, April 13-The Green
back Executive Committee have opened
headquarters in the Kile building on
Ksnawhs street, opposite the Court House,
and from this time forward some lively
political happenings will be the order OF

Butler & Co. At their headquarters they
have large flag strung across the street
to the Court House.
The Democrats are active and some Of
them are already astir. Several speeches
we're made last week through the county
by Democrats. Below is full copy of the
circular letter sent out by the GIeenback
Labor Committee. 1t is scathing docu-
ment and he old parties are literally exeo-
rated. It would not be bard for the ordi.

President Jepson of the Gas Board Says
They VIII Net Pay Over the Money.
A REGISTER reporter, last evening, met
President F. p Jepson of the Board Of Gas
Trustees, and asked him what the Board
intended doing in regard to the demand Of
Council that they relinquish the surplus Of
S, $3.50, which has accrued to the Boards
credit, into the hands of the Finance Com.
mittee.
1--WE intend doing nothing at all, an
swered Mr.. Jepson. "We are resting on OUT
oars, as it were, and If the city desires to
bring this matter to an issue in
the courts, that is just where it will be set
tied. There is no doubt in my mind but
that We are right in the stand we have
taken, and that we would be very wrong
sad open 10 condemnation if we were 70
pay over the amount to the Finance Com
mittee, which has so kindly given US the
opportunity to knock at its door and
humbly ask for admittsnce. We are sup
posed to conduct the affairs of the gas
works for the benefit Of the people, and il
Council should take what money We have
now, it would leave us in q bad place,
in case OF an emergency. The summer
season is coming on, when the revenues OF
the works naturally drop of, and we do
not consider it proper for the Beard to be
caught without funds on hands, because
we do not desire te oyercheek at any hank
should the occasion arise We will not re-
linquish our position until the matter
comes before the proper tribunal, and then
if We are decided to be in the wrong, then
only will we submit"
Mr.. Thomas E Lewis, a member of the
Board, who was present, coincided. with
Mr. Jepscn's views and expressed himself
In similar manner, 50 we may expect to
see one branch Of the city government con.
