Lee and Grant.

Hunter McGuire, who was surgeon
general on Stonewall Jackson s staff,
submitted a report to-day to the
Grand Camp of Confederate Veterans
at Pulaski City, Va, which is certain
to attract widespread attention. DIR.
Mcclure is chairman of the history
committee appointed by the camp,
With view Of preventing the use by
schools Of any history which does not
deal fairly with the South in its narra-
ton Of the events of the civil war.
The fight now is made on Fisse 5
School History Of the United States,
which Or. Mcclure committeeinsist
does the South great injustice in
maintaining that the South fought
the civil war for the purpose Of per
petuating the institution OF slavery.
This tho committee in its report
denies with great vigor and fcrvor.
DIR. McGuirc points cut that Gen.
Robt. 4. Lee was in favor Of freeing
all the slaves in the South, giving to
each owner bond to be the first paid
by the Confederacy when its indcpen-
dcncc should be secured. and that
Stonewall Jackson, while believing in
the Scriptural right to own slaves,
thought it would be polite of the white
people to free them.
He owned two, one a negro man,
whose first owner in financial Difficult
ties was compelled to sell. The negro
asked Ger. Jackson to buy him and
let him work until he accumulated
the money to pay the General back.
He was waiter in hotel and in few
years earned the money, gave it to
Jackson and secured his freedom.
The other was negress about to be
sold and sent away from Lexington.
She asked Jackson to buy her, which
he did, and then offered to let her
Y ork as the man had done and secure
her freedom. She preferred to stay
With the General and his wife as a
slave, and was an honest, faithful and
affectionate servant.
Gen. Joseph E. Johnston never
owned a slave. Finally, says DR.. Nc
Guire' report, and this deserves a
separate paragraph, with respect
to the motives of action, we would be
glad if Mr.. Fiske or any other North
ern authority would relieve US Of the
mental confusion resulting from the
contemplation Of the facts t4av
Robert e. Lee set free all Of his slaves
long before the sectional war began,
and that y. S. Grant retained his as
slaves until they were made free as
one of the results Of Lincoln's eman-
cipation proclamation.
Few, perhaps, know that Gen.
Grant was STAKEHOLDER, but the fact
is that he had several in the State of
Missouri, aud these were freed, like
those in the South, by the eman-
cipation proclamation. These slaves,
said Mrs Grant, came to him from
my fathers family, for I lived in the
West when [ married the General,
who was then lieutenant in the
army. u
The distinguished Confederate also
touched popular chord when be con-
demued the constitutional amendment
giving the right of suffrage to the
negroes, turning loose a legion of
devils to torment us, as he put it.
The report was unanimously adopted.

The proposition to settle the litiga.
ton regarding the stock of the

outlined in the Evening Star Of
October rs, would result in the
payment Of the 10000 shares al
the par value of 500, amounting
to Sl,000,OO0 by the present stock
holders of the w. A. Co., Ltd.
This would reduce the value of
the present stock to the extent of
the additional issue if used for the
settlement of the litigation.
In proof of this statement the
market value of the stock especial

The proposition as outlined has

The public are certainly for

of the law as demonstrated by
the increase OF Japanese settlers
