In The year 1924, complaints equently heard of
supposed nsuperabe difficulty imposed upon the Conra
by an order issued by the Directors of the Chcsapeake
and Delaware Canal Company, requiring him to cxcayate
The Canal the winter through the marshes in
on NO s. upona representation of the Contractor the
Engineer OF the Canal Company he granted indulgence
OF suspension Of that work until the ensuing spring of
1925 The present Contractors of choice, have been en-
poyed since October last, in forming the two entertainments
OF the Canal and draining and eAcavatg the CANAL in
tion NO and section No 8, in the marshes Their pro-
gress sufficient evidence fhe practcabty Of the work
beng executed in the winter season as they have not met
with any difficulty which could not be removed by the
usual power OF Men and Teams skfully applied
Their plan of operations plain and easily comprehen-
ded. Two bitches cut through the marsh in which
earth placed for the foundations of the two cmbank
ments of the Canal these the teams were employed
IN raising the earth to considerable height above the
surface OF the marsh ditch Of IL it, broad and feet
deep cut within the lines of the Canal into which the
water in the bowels of the marsh was drained Twelve
pumps were then wrought day and night by horses in rails
ing the water from that ditch to elevation, whence it
freely passes to the outside of the embankment of the
Canal BY these precautions the dchers are excavating
the Canain the winter without any nteruponfrom
the
Advantage is taken of the situation of the various points
OF upland nearest the Canal and from them the earth
carted over causeways and bridges with expedition
form the embellishments of solid earth; and the connection
OF the several portions Of them present nearly
pleed from ST. Georges to the Delaware. The arrange
mens prepared for increase of force the line and
suitable exertons are applied to complete their contract
June next.
The cost of this work in winter loss to the stock

red in the excavation whence the earth removed but
there is manifest advantage in prosecuting the work this

mer and thus the period for the receipt of tolls be

may be readily conceived that if the above men,
TONED plan had been executed in the successful
in the favorable winter of 1924 and 1926 that the lock
at st. Georges might have been built in 1925 instead of
1896. The prospect is evident that by the iudcious
arrangements of the engineer and the present contractors
the whole line of the Canal win be completed earlier
period than has been heretofore expected.

y" orce, OIL OF his hands. This is more glaring
ta'sehood than the first. The 10, was purchased d
a man who at tina, time was not citizen of the
borough much less a member OF the Council. AS
an evidence OF the tnjndciousness Of the purchase
Is sulhcent 10 state that the cost of the lot, with
TWO substantial ienements thereon was 1000 dollars
he buildings rent for 30 dollars-yieldng an in
sersst OF eight per Cent, besides leaving the ground
| annexed, tor other purposes. One individual has
offered to pay 1000 dollars for the houses alone
which offer has been rejected. Again, JUSTICE
says the old reservoir has been abandoned and a
new one built and the water conducted more than
ioO yards out OF the necessary course expense
OF 2oUO dollars. and all this with no other view than
10 accommodate member of the Council. To the
truth OF this, let facts speak, One old reservoir
was located in Market street, between Kent and
Wood streets-but ID never held any water. Anoth
er was located on the Kennel Road, but it has been
abandoned mare than ten years.
In order to place our water establishment on the
footing demanded by the increasing size of the
town. and to ensure ready and efficient supply
~ case oil hre, 1t was requisite that reservoir pro-
Iectlng above the ground Tin order to give sufficient
head,) should be constructed.
10 do this, piece Of ground must be purchased,
and my previous statement will show that none
could be procured on such beneficial terms as the
ouS w queSuon. III from these facts, Justice
can draw conclusions favorable to his assertions, he
is at liberty SO to do.
In conclusion, Messrs Editors, would say. that
II has been reserved toour day to witness the great

on the subject of his outfit Minister to Mex

"As to my outfit minister to Mexico:

was witha determination to settle with
the government for tie amount of the
outfit | received, as soon as possible;
and although my long and dangerous
indispositioD, succeeding that event,
prevented my doing so in the manner,
and as soon as I had intended, j did in
the fall of the same year, transmit to
Mr. Cook, to be deposited in the bank
Of The United States, and TO their cred

| have no doubt, was deposited to the
credit Of the United States, either in
the Branch Bank at Louisville, or part
there, and the balance in the Branch
Bank at Washington city.
.'As il is not pretended that was
legally bound to return cent Of the
money, l should suppose that | might

made, and my assurances voluntarily
