American Republican and Baltimore daily clipper. [volume] (Baltimore, Md.) 1844-1846, 1846-07-06

Messrs. Editors: have Just seen an article in
the Clipper ofTuesday last, enquirlng alter that
"gold chain," which pronounce false in many
particulars. | therefore demand the name of
your authOr Bond mel if my friend with the
white hat, " who got the chain, does not let his
temper doWn, he will at least hammer his rust
off or make fz of him, for his porter-lke inn
pertinence in interfering in the affairs OF gentle
men. Recollect, he ofthe white hat, is not like
the chain, "among the missing" as your infor-
mant falsely and maliciouslY asserts, but is
Gbout-beware of him. 1t is true that some
time has elapsed since his departure to procure
galvanized iron for the company" but what of
that, he was back in good time. In this partlc-
ular, insist, he has been most shamefully ira
duced; he was willing to "toe the mark" OF his
engagement regardless of consequences; but
how was he received? Why, he was not re-
ceived at ALL for he was backed out by the pa
rents of the young lady Aye, and with the
appreciation of the young lady tool! For in the
mean time chow officious and meddling some
parents are they discovered that he was what
is called an impostor which means that he was
not bunkum. The man with the white hat
knew very we'll that he would soon be found
out, and as a matter Of consequence the last link
would be broken that bound her to him, unless
the chain ,Uas much heauier-and here withprde,
| draw your attention TO the circumstance that
he had the honesty to state that her chain was
loo light, although it was heavy enough for or
dina,y purposss) and that he would procure
heauer chain in place of the light one; unfortu-
nately this heavy chain was not polished when
he returned, therefore he could not apply it be-
fore the whole matter leaked out or rather ex-
ploded. repeat it, the gentleman with the
chain is not, like the chain, "among the miss
ing" Then you will say, where is that gold
chain' Well by this time, | expect it is all
polished away.
r PataI Blow. On Saturday afternoon about
6 O'Clock, at the time Fishing Club was pas
sing along Hight street near the Bend, stone
was thrown by some boy in the crowd, striking
negro man, slave, on the head, the proper

in a cart, and we learn has since died. We
could not obtain his name.
City Court. The jury in the case Of Lucy
Crawford, colored, vs. Hope H. Slater, petit
toner for freedom, on Saturday morning
brought in verdict for the petitioner. This
verdict is in direct conflict with the opinion of
the Court on the law in the case, but from the
facts is beyond doubt most righteous ONE
We understand that the case will be taken to
the court of Appeals.
Gases for Court. Mary Brown, was arrested
on Saturday by officer Stayton, charged with
assaultlng and beating William Brown, and
throwing stones in the street. She was fined

court
Supposed Theft. Officers Knghton and Ray
on Saturday overhauled John Carroll, in Sails
bury street, having in his possession large
roll of Telegraph wire, the ownership of which
he could not satisfactorily explain. The strong
suppositon is that John intended erecting
Telegraph from his house to "Julep" shop,
in order that he might hold constant commu-
nication with his old enemy. Being in a bad
predicament he was committed to the Aims
House for three months.

the wind after an extraordinary effort managed
to change, and get around to the Northwest,
when, strange as some may think it, it actual
! ly cleared off, and yesterday we had regular
! July day, clear and warm. How long it may
last we cannot say, but Judging ffoM appear
ances, it will not remain as long dry, as it has
/ been wet.

tempt was made on Saturday evening to rob

men from the adjoining house, the whole build
ing was thoroughly searched but the villain
had fled, and there is no clue whatever which
will lead to his discovery.
