city councilmen, sprang surprise upon

the town, by making proposition to

This is the result Of a rumor which was

decided to take a hand in the prize
fight, which was pulled off at Point
Breeze last Monday night between Joe
Osuaa and Peter Mansie, and had or
dered the county officials to prosecute

the sports into the county, where they
were powerless to act, and where
it has since hourished without interior

the people of the country mean to do
so at the polls. But Mr.. Depew, only

the settlement of the currency question
by furthering Mr.. Hanna's efforts to
buy the election of republican Con-

however, in saying that the people
have determined to settle the question
as soon as an opportunity be afforded
them.

that the money in circulation now is so

the desire to make it more plentiful, so
great, that the vast majority of the peo-

WHY CAPT. CUssoNs RESIGNED.

WHY CAPT. CUSSONS RESIGNED.
When Captain John Cussons. a few
days ago resigned the Craftsmanship of
the history committee of Lee Camp, of
Richmond, without giving any reason
for his action, it created a sensation in
Confederate veteran circles, and much
curious interest at large. This commit.
tee is charged with the selection of a
history that will be truthful and impair
tial to the Confederate side, and will,
when selected, be used as a text book
in Virginia schools, and, possibly, all
over the South. Grand Commander
James N. Stubs. of Virginia, who is
also member of the history committee,
accepted Captain Cussons' resignation,
and complimentei him on his record as
soldier.
Last night, at Lee Camp meeting,
preamble and resolution was offered by
Gen. T. A. Brander, and supported by
Major N. v Randolph, charging that
certain members of the history commit.
tee had been, and were now in the EN-
ploy of the American Book Company,
and receiving pay from that concern,
and calling on Grand Commander
Stubs to appointa committee to iuves-
tigate these charges, promising that
they will have documentary evidence
to lay before the committee to substan-
tiate these charges. They further
stated that unless the commander
speedily appointed the committee, they
would take other steps to correct what
was manifestly improper in connection
with committee in charge of so sacred
trust.
No names were used in the discus.
sion, and after some objections to the
wording of the resolution, it was finally
passed unanimously. Much conjecture
exists, but it is presumed that Captain
Cussons furnished the information up.
on which this action is based, and that
his knowledge of this condition of af-
fairs in the committee caused him TO
resign.
