CoRBETT AND MCCOY

manager and secretary of the Hawthorne
Athletic Club, said today that he would
continue to make preparations for the
Corbett-McCoy contest regardless OF the
letter read at the ministers nesting yes

stance has this club violated law and It
does not intend to violate any. He says
that the question has been argued in court
and no lawyer would be foolish enough to
fight the case over again. The only harm
that can come to the club is that a few out
of-town people may be scared away. No
effort will be made to evade the law. 1t is
not necessary, Mr.. Wilson says.

Chickamauga Park, Ga, Aug. 10, 1851
The President:
May I not ask you In the name and behalf
of the 10000 men Of this command, to visit
1t while It Is still intact? There is much to
be said, showing how beneficial and needed
such a visit is, but you will appreciate bet
ter than 1 can tell the disappointment and
consequent depression many men must
feel, especially the sick, when they Joined
together for a purpose and have done so
much to show their readiness and WORTH
ness to serve their country without battle
or campaign. All who see them must
recognise their merit and personal interest.
You will encourage all II you can find time
to review this command.
BRECKENRIDGE,
MaJor-General Commanding.
The Presidents Reply
Following is the Presidents reply:
Executive Mansion, Aug. II, 1SSS-Major-
General Breckenridge, Chickamauga Park,
Ga.
Replying to your invitation, beg to say
that 1t would give me great pleasure to
show by a personal visit to Chickamauga
Park my high regard for the 10000 troops
of your command. who so periodically re-
sponded to the call for volunteers, and who
have been for upwards of two months
making ready for any service and sacrifice
tn. country might require. My duties
however. will not admit Of absence from
Washington at this time.
The highest tribute that can be paid to
the soldier Is to say that he performed his
full duty. The field Of duty Is determined
by his government. and wherever that
chances to be is the place Of honor. All
have helped in the great cause. whether
in camp or battle. and when peace comes
all will be alike entitled to the nation

of these two canals simply effect
their owners and will have no of:

The people who really need and

that the new outfit has decided that
the capitol commissioners miscon-
strued the law in their advertising
in the various organs for plans,
specifications, estimates Of cost, and
so on; that the commissioners had
no right to do so until funds were
on hand from the sale of bonds to
pay for the work; hence, the ad-
vertising, ETC., must be done over
again, but not until said funds are
on hand-all of which reminds us
of the fable Of the equal division of

from first one piece and then the
other to get them of equal weight
until he had swallowed all the
cheese.-Prescott Courier.

The change in school booksi
which was made by the Territorial
Board of Education some weeks
ago in Tucson, for the purpose Of
benefting some one besides the
patrons of schools and against
numerous protests is branded by
the Phenlx Herald as a job con-
cocted to rob the people and says
if Gov. Murphy does his duty he
will fire that board of education
and take steps to annul that con-
tract so odious and reeking with
corruption. 1t also charges that q
number of the books substituted
are inferior to those already in
use and which will come at q
higher price. When a board Of
education will deliberately make q
change in text books in the face
of vigorous protests, without even
consulting the leading educators
in the different parts of the Ter
ritory, or if they are consulted
their opinions thrown into the
| waste basket, it certainly looks as
though there was something rot
ten behind it, and if Governor
Murphy wishes tc keep clean o
this job, he will follow the ad
vice of the Herald and fire thu
board, and if he wishes to do jus
tice by the parents of children
throughout the Territory, he viii
annul the contract.
