MR.. LESSONS MEMORIAL.


the General assembly of MARYLAND:
The memorial of Thomas w. Letson, of the
State of New York, respectfully represents,
That on or about the 18th day of July, in
the year 1913, your memorialist, in company
with a certain John Rutter and other partners,
whose names are not rected in the instrument,
entered into contract with the Chesa peake
and Ohio Canal Company, for the construc-
ton of the Canal above Dam No. 6, upon
terms which are particularly set forth in the
contract itself, copy of which contract your
memorialist hereto appends, and prays that it
may be taken as part of this memorial.
That accordingly your memorialist, as soon
thereafter as possible, entered upon the work
of constructing the said Canal, under the drec-
tons of the Chief Engineer of the Company,
and was prosecuting the same faithfully, ac-
cording to the said directions and the stipula-
tons of the said contract which, among other
things, required an advance of funds on the
contractors part of a large sum Of money, viz
tone hundred thousand dolarsn
That your memorialist also, toward the far.
ther prosecution of the work, entered into con-
tracts with various parties, citizens of the
State of Maryland, and of other States of the
Union, for the supply of materials and labor
necessary in the construction of the said Canal
according to the tenor of his contract with said
Company, to very large amount; that your
memorialist, after having been at work for
about one month under the directions of the
Engineer aforesaid received a letter from the
Engineer, informing him to his great surprise,
that no more work would be laid out for YOUR
memorialist to execute.
And your memorialist in consequence, dur
ing the week next following, found himself, in
the absence OF any plans, specifications, or in
structlons how to proceed with his work, COM
PEELED to abandon the same, as your memorial
list therefore did uAder written protest.
Your memorlallst represents that all these
actings and doings of the said engineer, or of
the President and Directors of the Company
who controlled the engineer, are in direct vio-
latlon OF solemn contract entered into with
the Company, and to the great damage and
loss to your memorast of time and money
Your memorialist does not approach your
honorable body with any application for spe-
chic relief in the premises; he is aware that
the existing laws are sufficient to protect him
when the due occasion offers for such resort
But as your honorable body has now before
you an application from the said Company for
aid from this State, to enable them to do what
they refused, nearly two years ago, to allow
your memorialist, without such aid, to proceed
with, your nemorialist thinks it due to your
honorable body to furnish this representation
of the facts.
Your memorialst is and will be at all times
ready to substantiate the facts aforesaid in any
inquiry that your honorable body may see fit
to institute upon the premises.
And your memorialist, as in duty bound,
will ever pray,
THOMAS w. LETSON.

BALTIMORE CRY GUARDS BALL. The third
annual Ball of this fine corps comes off this
evening, and judging from the preparation that
is making, it must be grand affair The La
dies, refreshment committee | know are expe-
rienced caterers, and nothing will be left undone
by them to crafty and please. The fact Of
M. Paulette being charged with the manage
rnent of the floor, will leave no room for dissat.
isfaction in that particular, as to the music, il
is enough to say that Murray will be there, and
the arrangement of the executive committee
not allowing fatigue caps to be worn in the
Ball Room, think good one, so would ad-
wise all who would wish to pass pleasant
evening not to neglect to be there. Their
rooms at the corner of Hanover and Lombard
streets, are well worth visit.

IN MEMORY OF Az INTIMATE YRlRSR.
Silently We have gathcrh near
And round this hearth stone yet
Though memory bid US shed tear,
Wen meet as we have met.
As we have met-ah, no-that word,
signing, must restore;
line voice can ne>er again be heard
As il was heard before
Her seat is vacant, and appears
A silent mourRer there;
We scarce can see it through our tears,
That yet unmoved chair.
Twas there she sat and sweetly smiled,
And won Our hearts to love;
Or by her silvery voice beguiled
The music from above.
And gazing on it theughtlessly,
deem she still will come,
And smile and sing az cheerfuly
As when she charmed our home.
But ah we wait in vain--her tread
Steps not where it has trod:
Her form is with the silent dead,
Her spirit with its God:
Nor can her praise he spoke on earth
Her histOry's in the sky;
And angel hands record her worth,
Where worth can never die.
She died-but death TO her was gain,
Its clouds revealed her light;
As stars break through the azure plain,
When mantled with the night.
The loss, alas! was ours--she came
A blessed angel here,
And they who gave it, but reclaim
Her spirit to its sphere.
But we who dreamed not OF herfight
In 50 unguarded hour,
Are left like travellers in the night
Of this worlds guilty power. NJ. E. c

LETTER FROM CASSIUS M. CLA'


HORACE GREELEY, Esq, deep and
heartfelt remonstrances of friends ELECTED by my
apparent willingness to resort to the duel, dis
played in the FIRST number of The True American,
notwithstanding the very peculiar and trying cir
cumstances in which have been placed, have
led me to give this much debated subject my
most serious and deliberate reflection. Whilst
shall ever contend for the right OF seli-defence,
where the civil power can not or sciH not come to
my rescue so where the laws are sufficient for
protection, and the public sentiment eniorces
them, there am willing to confess that the duel
cannot be justified. Having fully tested the le-
gal and moral power Of my native State, to which
owe inviolate allegiance, / feel that owe it to
her-to our national reIigion--and to the spirit OF
the age, that should subject myself to their sole
protection therefore formally pledge myself
never again to offer or accept challenge, or in
any manner to give duelling my copntenance or
support. Believing that this annunciaton would
not only be agreeable to you, but to many friends
who have been so kind as to manifest an interest
In my humble fortunes, associated in some slight
degree with the cause Of republicanism and RAJ
tonal liberty, venture TO ask for this note in
sertion in your widespread columns.
Your friend and obi sorv'l,
C.M CLAY.

is believed that the ship must have been on fire
two or three weeks, as she must have been mere
shell to have disappeared SO suddenly. She was
fine vessel, about three years old, and the hull
