of Richmond:

references to certain charges which it

Honor the Mayor at a called meeting
OF the Common Council to be held to-

connection with my professional serv-
Ices rendered in conjunction with the
Hon. Geo. L. Wise, to certain dairy
men doing business in this city. | have

rumors referred to. are fairly indica-
tive of the character of the charges
which His Honor the Mayor will pre-
fer against me, or to which he will
call the attentions of the Council, I
avail myself of this first opportunity
to decorously deny In the most posi-
tive terms the truth of these charges,
or any of them. and to assert without
fear of contradiction that my conduct
