WASHINGTON, June ., ls47.

To the Editor of the Union:
SIR As the first Monday in June is at hand when the
sovereign people elect their municipal servants, permit
me to inquire, through the medium OF your columns,
what may have been the fate of the resolutions, offered
in the common council of this city by Mr.. Peter Brady
authorizing swords be presented, the of the
corporation, to Colonel Charles A. May and Lieutenant
Alfred Peasonton of the I'd dragoons in testimony OF
the pride felt by the city of Washington in the acknowl
edged merit of these her heroic at the stomng OF
the Mexican batteries the Rio Grande, the 9th OF
May, 1916. -
On the I'd of November last, the above resolutions
were after some discussion, laid on the table by the fol-
lowing vote:
YEAs-Messrs Wilson, johnson, King, Halliday Borows,
HiI Sweeny, Fulner, Queen, Lloyd, and Cassel-ll
NAYs--Messrs Davis, Moorhead, Walach, Brady, De-
ment, Miller and Cult
Ever since that day. the resolutions appear to have
slept in the tomb of the Capulets
The parsimony that would grudge the honorary testi
monal of sword to each OF these gallant officers, has
certainly not been initiated by other cities; and it re-
mains to be SEEM at the polls whether the patriotic cit
zens of Washington will sanction, or condemn, the mo-
yes which caused the strangulaion OF the resolutions

The Two Greatest Lies Of the Age.

Tho Two Greatest Lies Of the Age.
We intend to let the following paragraphs stand few
days the head of paper the taes specimens OF
mpudent mendacity that have appeared in this age.
They are from the Louisville Journal If old Nick don't
acknowledge himself fairly outdone now he will not do
an act of justice. The Journal says, first, that General
Taylor was deprived of his troops by the fiat Of has
government !" and then adds
'1hc administration did all that an administration could
do the deteat of the american army, and it should
be held terrible responsibility for the awful results that
would have followed such catastrophe"
And again:
"Mr. Polk et Santa Anna into Mexico, and the locoocos
say that the best thing that could have been done for
the United States Mr. Polk, either desgnedy bluder
ngy did all in his power to secure to Santa Anna vico-

thing for the United that could possibly haze happen

We advise our readers to keep these perfect curos
ties They will never see two such specimens of false
hood again It has required years of practice of most
skillful hand to produce them We don't believe he

to preserve these paragraphs from the Journals and

physicians of the country, has reached tenth edition,
and is published in large, clear, and beautiful type on
fine paper, by Messrs Thomas, Cowperthwaite q Cos

the general reader.
The work is embellished with accurate portrait OF
the author, and accompanied by an interesting memoir
