ness partner. was standing against the
wall. At the end of the second ballot Mot-

GEN. LEE IS MODEST.
He FIRMLY Declines to Be Given a Public Re-
cepton.

Washington, April H.-General Fitzhugh
Lee today declined the honor of the recep-
ton rendered him. When the committee
waited upon him today to receive his final
decision he started his speech of declina-
ton in characteristic manner.
Look here, boys he said in matter
Of fact tone, II haven't done a thing That
either one of you or any American citizen
would not have done, and don't see why
there should be any fuss made about it.
Now, l don't want you to think I'm I'M
grateful, for I'm not, but l nave studied
over the matter, and 1 feel satisfied that
it would be better not to have the recep-
ton 1 do not for an instant want any
body to think that I wish to put myself
forward, and I must decline your most
kind Offer
: One of General Lees most intimate
friends said that the reason was that he
recognized the fact that he occupied an
official position and felt a hesitancy in ac-
cepting an informal demonstration on this
account.

SMOKE HAD CLEARED AWAY.
Session of the House Was Absolutely Devoid
of Interest.

Washington, April H.-The session of the
house today was dull and absolutely devoid
of interest The galleries and the floor
were almost deserted. During the after
noon bills were passed to settle the ac-
counts of the state of Arkansas and the
United States as to school lands; to regu-
late the jurisdiction of United States
courts, and several other unimportant
measures.
The most important measures passed was
the Curtis bill for the relief of the residents
of the Indian Territory. 1t provides for
the settlement of questions involving 49,,
100000 acres belonging to the Cherokees
Chickasaws, Creeks, Choctaws and Sem
inoles and now occupied by 100000 whites
and 10000 Indians. 1t provides for the
ejectment of 1000 intruders upon 1877 600
acres of land. The lands are to be leased
so as to give each Indian share, mineral
lands are to be leased by the secretary of
the interior and citizens in towns located
on lands are to be permitted to buy titles
to the holdings from the Indians.
At S o'clock the house adjourned.

NET PROCEEDS
Of Patriotic Demonstration viii Be Forwarded 10
Proper Authorities.

The executive committee of the patriotic
demonstration met Wednesday night and
audited the bills and accounts and receiv
ed reports of subcommittee, etc. 1t was
shown that large number of compli-
mentary tickets had been issued for rea-
sons previously approved or by the several
committees, to the press and persons con-
tributing to the success of the demonstra-
ton, and that the citizens had literally
aided in the contamination of the under
taking. The small admission charged and
the unavoidably heavy expenses incurred
did not admit of large returns, but, con-
sidering the enthusiasm shown and bene-
fits derived, the members were highly
pleased at the results. y
The committees gave out the following
for publications.
1.-THE committees desire, through the me-
dunn of the daily press, to extend their
grateful thanks to all who participated IN
the programme in any way, to the faculty
and pupils of the Pollock-Stephens 1nstl-
tue and the members of the Rifles and
Volunteers, to the Age-Herald, Evening
News, Daily Ledger and the Independent
and to Professor Grambs and the BIZ
mingham Musicians Union, the ponce anu
fire departments, for their respective ana
appreciated services, which so largely con-
tributed to the success of the demonstra-
tion They desire, also, to cordially
thank the Auditorium management for the
free use of the building, the Consolidated
Electric Light Company the Dispatch
Printing Company, Leslie Bros., ana
Moor & Anderson, for voluntary contrl-
buttons donated to apply on their respec-
tive bills
While the committees regret that several
other worthy attractions on the same
night initiated against as large an attend
ance as the movement would douptless
otherwise have received, nevertheless,
thew felicitate themselves and the citizens
generally upon the very creditable ana
REPRESENTATIVE assembage and the evil
dences given of the enthusiastic Loyalty
and lofty patriotinsm of the people OF BIZ
mingham.
The following is a summary of receipts
and disbursements
Total receipts from tickets sold, $141.50.
