Tomorrow the Advisory Council OF th'
Grand camp. Confederate Veterans, VIII
convene in the city Of Lynchourg TO neal
the case Of Colonel James y. StuoDs' 'h'
Grand Commander Of the Grand Camp,
who appcals from the decision OF the
Investigating Committee which recently
met IN this city and adjudged him su'''y
of an intimacy with an agent OF pooh'
nublishing house. which they thought IN
consistent with his Grand Camp connec-
ton.
The case has attracted considerable IN
terest throughout this state, and especi-
ally IN Richmond. where It originated
and was heard. and the session OF the
council will. no doubt, be attended by n
large gathering Of Confederate veterans.
Many will go from Richmond, among them
helnr Commanders John +. baughton,
Ir.. and f. Scott Gibbs, Of Lee and
Pickett camps, respectively; Mr.. Greer
II. Bauehman. who brought TO light the
checks upon which Colonel Stubs was
convicted: Major n. V. Randolph. who
presented these checks 10 the lnVesu-
eating Committee: General Thomas A
Brander. who introduced the resolution
which brought about the Investigations
Captain John Cussons. whose trenehaht
Den was welded vigorously concerning
The case: General George j. Hundley,
Colonel Stubbs's counsel. who, 1t is al
legged. contemplated a duel with Captain
Cussons. and Senator John y. Opie, OF
Augusta. Colonel Stubs will not go.
THEIR SEATS TO BE CONTESTED.
Captain T. G. Morton. Inspector-General
of the Grand Camp. who has been IN cor
respondence with acknowledgements
J. j. Williams, of Winchester, VINO VIII
preside over the council. will also be IN
attendance. He was in Richmond yester-
day, and told a Dispatch man that from
what he could learn. more than halt oil
the eighty-seyen commanders IN the STATE
who compose the council viii be IN at
tendance.
The council will probably consume some
time tomorrow I'm organizing Tor work.
and IL is likely that II will experience
some considerable trouble before TINS OF
ganization is perfected. According to the
rules OF the Grand Camp, only those
subordinate camps which have PAID thelr
dues into the grand treasury are entitled
10 representation I'm its councils, and as
thirty or more camps. many OF which are
expected to send representatives 10
Lynchburg. are in arrears, the quesuoh
as 10 the competency Of their representa-
tives TO sit in the council Will naturally
be raised.
NEW EVIDENCE ON TAP.
Another vexed question TO be considered
by the council will be the admissability
of new testimony. Colonel Stubs, 1t Is
understood stands on the testimony ad-
duced before the Investigating COMMITTEES
and appeals from the decision reached
upon this evidence. \ transcript of the
testimony will be presented to the coun-
Gil. and at the same time an effort will
be made by the gentlemen who are in
terested in the prosecution 10 introduce
some considerable after-discovered evil
dence. OF course. General Hundley. the
defendants counsel. will fight against the
admission Of this evidence, and lively
discussion VIII no doubt ensue.
The council viii probably be i'm session
more than one day, though this largely
depends upon the decision concerning the
new evidence.
