"Wnehlngton, D. C, July 1, 1805.
VVtur Mr. Becretary: During .tho lust

I have the honor to hold has been con
stantly under fire from one side of the .
market or the other.. Five times It has
been investigated, and on every oc-1
caslon I have been vindicated. On Jan
Mary t I wis awarded 12,500 damages
In a libel suit against a .prominent Arm
of cotton brokers by a Jury of their
own friends and felow citizens. These
rsults have been very gratifying to
me, but I have the highest medical au
thority for (he ata.ement that the con
tinued fight UPon me bus alreudy con
siderably, shorened my life. At the
present tlm- It , is an accepted fact
that a powerful organization Is bent
upon bringing about my retirement, by
one means or another. Now, I do not
think the position I hold Is worth the
fight necessary to Ita retention end the
organisation in question is welcom- to
whatever satisfaction It can derive
from my withdrawal from the unequal
struggle. If any of my friends 'think
tthat I ought not to retire under fire I
would have them remember that fh re
la never a time when I am not un

tender you 'herewith my resignation of
my appointment aa statistician and
hief of the bureau of statistics of this

Sir: I ara In receipt of your resigna

ending of telegrams to n dozen of -he
most proinln nt- capitalists of the

ending with the shooting affair In room

The explanation for this series of ec-

of the majority of tho.-e w ho are famil

ttobert Richardson, a negro confined In
he Marengo county jail th re, was lm-
ninent, Governor Jelks, through; hu

Has Issued by the governor e received
roressge from Major At kin, who
tsted that Vm squadron bad been got-
en toge her And bad left In a special
rain for Und n.
' lf Richardson Is one of the two suspect
ed of the murder ot Dr. Fosoue, Bear
I Jnden, a few weeks ago. He ia been)
in the jail at Linden for some time and
thv rumor of a lynching Is due to the
ab-euce of the sheriff and all his diip
u;tes from the county eat.,, There wa
4 Jail delivery at Linden a day or two
ago and the assumption Is that the,
sheriff and bis force are Jn pursuit of
the prison ra who escaped. This wouht
explain their absence and the antlclps
t ton of an auark en the (ill at this
time. The governor. It Is understood,
has given Wsjor Atkins, who Is iryor
of Selma, complete control of the t-,-.a-
t!on on his arrival at M-a.-n.
