gave the following Interview to the Nor
folk Public Ledger and the Richmond
papers, August 10th:
""rhat Virginia Is not now furnishing
her children school books at cost" said
Mr.. Cabell. us due purely and solely to
]. Taylor Ellyson and the late John Il.
Massey. The Journal Of the State Senate,
or which Mr.. Ellyson was n member In
1856, contains two pages Of recital Of
the method by which the bill to furnish
school books at cost was defeated.
''1'he Democratic platform Of that year
promised free school books, just as the
Republican platform OF yesterday does,
and when the Legislature met, bill for
free books was introduced. 1t was passed
by the House readily, but the book
lobbyists were ON hand at the Senate,
and after the bill had been amended for
books at cost, 1t was put upon Its pas
sage. The Senate Journal shows that
the vote was announced as l3 to IL In
favor Of the BILL and the Lieutcna nt-Gov-
crnor, John u. Massey, named lion. Tay-
ilor Berry Of Amherst, to notify the
34Aouse of its passage.
After Mr.. Berry had left the Senate
chamber, Mr.. Ellyson announced that he
noticed that he had not been recorded as
voting, and that he wished to vote No.
This made Ito vote, and Mrs Massey
cast the deciding vote against the bill
and books at cost was thus defeated.
ALI this" continued Mr.. Cabell. us q
matter Of record In tho Senate Journal,
and Is not matter Of conjecture or
campaign accusation"
Mr.. Elyson's answer vas an evasion.
He claimed that a report OF a committee
showed that 1T would cost a large sum
Il to carry out this measure. Mr.. Elyson
must have remembered, what both the
House and Senate Journals show, that
this report was not upon Books at Cost"
but upon FREQ Books, and the report was
based upon figures taken from those
States which werc not only furnishing
free books. but also all school supplies
free to3the public school children.
The bill as first offered was in accord
ance with the law in most Of the pro-
gressive state in the country, and pro-
rided for free books. but after the re-
port, Mr.. Elyson refers to. It was
amended 50 as to provide for Books a t
Cost only. This would have cost the State
little, but would have been great saving
to the people of Virginia, and would have
deprived the northern publishing houses
of the large profits they were reapng. It
was this bill that lIr. Ellysops vote de-
5fcated.
Respectfully.
