have twice appeared in the "Church-
man." he has never given reason fer
Directing. BE is asked to give specific

the failure of an effort to increase th:
pension of the widow of General Alb

widow who performed services as vol.
untary nurse during the civil war
Both bills were blocked by the obstruc-
ton of Mr.. Jones.
Mr. Cooper resented this and turned
on Mr.. Jones savagely, and with much
,cmper charged him with a lack of
ctivalry in assaulting the fair sex.
Mr.. Jones absolutely denied that
there was any foundation for the state
ment that he was fighting women. "All
I am fighting for" said he, sis against
the granting of large pensions to the
rich, powerful and influential"

Mr.. Simpson, Mr.. Cox and Mr.. Moses
were drs wn into the controversy. Feel
ing ran high and it looked for several
minutes as if a personal encounter
might occur. Mr.. Simpson continued
TO taunt Mr.. Jones, declaring that he
was not only surprised, but ashamed
that man should come from the South
and say that he still believed in the lost
cause.
Mr.. Talbert at last came TO Mr..
Jones's rescue. he was white with rage,
aud while deprecating the continual
appeal to sectional passions, asserted
that such appeals usually come from
mea who were invisible in time of war
and invincible in time of peace. GAS to

Mr.. Jones got the floor just before the
time for adjournment was reached. He
branded Cooper's language toward him.
as language unworthy of a gentleman.

the question was asked me last week l

The congressional sundry civil bill ap-
propriates nearly halfa million dollars
TO the support of the fish commission.
It is alleged that the fish commission
increases and multiplies the supply of
food fishes, among them those of the
Potomac river. Aud yet both shad and
herring are steadily and rapidly grow
ing less plentiful, and it is only natur-
al to suppose that what is true OF the
Potomac, is true OF ali the other rivers
OF the country: and of other fish as well
as those referred to. But there must
be ways for expanding the money col
lected by taxes.

SAT URDAY EVENING. JAN. 10, 1895.

THIS Is the anniversary of the birth
Gav Of General Lee. In Virginia and
most of the other Southern States 1t is
legal holiday and is observed as such.
1t is only natural that it should be SO
in Alexandra, where the General
went to school, with whose PEG
pie he was familiar, and which he
always looked upon as his coun-
ty town. General Lee was one OF
the few good great men the world has
produced. In all the private relations
of life, boy and man, sob. father, broth
er. husband and friend, he was without
reproach, and in those that were pub
lie, he ''stood four square to all the
winds that blow" As military COM
mander, in every respect save final sue
cess, he was a greater man even than
Washington, whose straits were as moth
ing compared to his. He adopted duty
as his governing principle early in life
and held it to the end, and, as the result.
all the intelligent boys of the country
look upon him as their examplar, and
his memory is revered alike by friend
and foe. The "storm Graded nation, y
for which duty alone compelled him to
fight. Is dead, and so are most ofshe men
he so often led to victory, but his name
will i've IN the admiration of mankind
as long as noble deeds awake respon-
sive thrills in human hearts.

WHAT WOULD the democrats
OF the North amount to if they
were not supported by those of
the South? And yet South
err Congressman can not offer the
slightest objection to the lcoting of the
Treasury, which his constituents are
taxed to supply, by bills to increase, or
give pensions to those who don't de-
serve them, without being denounced
by his Northern democratic colleagues
as an unrepentant rebel and as still
nursing treason. Northern democrats
induced the South to secede by promises
ofsupport and then deserted them, and
some of them leave her now to her
enemies, whenever they think their
own selfish, individual interests can be
subserved by doing so.

Der election, shows that only one-third
of the defective ballots were thrown

covery would be made in all the other

too foolish to ask the assistance of the

Row IN A CoLLEGE.-The dissension
that the election of Prof. Boatwright
TO the presidency of Richmond College
has engendered among the students cul-
minated yesterday in difficulty that
came near assuming very serious
aspect. The difficulty grew out of the
posting on the blackboards of verses OF
poetry prepared by the Boatwright fol.
lowers in reply to the statement of the
ants that the trustees action meant
the death of the college, which was
given a mock burial and that the fra
ternites would at the close of the session
surrender their charters. The bylaws
of these societies were inferred in the
big coffin Wednesday night. As Bruce
Bowe was cutting down one of these
poems, u, c. Twitcheli, q ministerial
student, interposed, and Mr.. Gordon,
larger student took Bowe's place.
Twitchell went to his room, and upon
returning he and Gordon clinched. The
former when cornered drew his pistol,
but was overpowered and disarmed.
The pistol was taken to the chairman
OF the faculty, and he called meeting
to look into the matter.
