MOST INTERESTING SESSION.
inGton BENEFIT.

Lee Camp Of Confederate Veterans, at
its meeting last night, refused to dissent
from the action of the Grand Camp at
Culpeper i'm rejecting that portion of the
reuort of the History Committee which
declared that the right Of secession from
the Union no longer existed, having been
abrogated when the Southern States re-
entered the Union.
The action Of the camp was the result
Of a resolution introduced by Comrade
John Boiling. endorsing the report in fuh.
Comrade Boiling stated that he desired
the resolution TO go over to the next
meeting. when it could be fully discussed.
Commander I.aughtOn said that in view
of the fact that the delegates from Lee
Camp had voted with the majority at the
Grand Camp meeting at Culpeper. to re-
iect the report, the resolution was out
OF order. and calculated to produce dis
order. He therefore declined to enter
tain the resolution, but told Comrade
Boiling he had the right of appeal.
First-Iieutenant-C Commander Peay took
charge of the camp during the discus
argued that he had a right TO be heard
ON this subject, saying he only wanted
opportunity TO express his views, ana
therefore wanted the resolution brought
before the camp, TO be discussed ana act
| ed upon at the next meeting OF the camp
Commander Laughton defended his ac-
| ton I'm refusing TO entertain the resolu-
| tion. saving It was calculated TO destroy
| harmony.
The vote was overwhelmingly In sup
mort of the Chair. COmrade Boiling theI
| asked permission TO enter upon the rec
| ords a protest against the treatment u
| which he had been subjected by the
| camp. but the Chair ruled that every
| law-abiding member OF the camp shou''
! Weld TO the will of the majority wlthou
muruur. and that therefore the reques
| could not be granted. lie told Conrad
| Boiling he had the right to appeal. but
was not exercised.
