To ths Editor.
The enclosed article, signed A. B., appeared in the
dmsrean Telegraph newspaper OF the 5th instant. and
as the last aragaph relates TO the removal OF gentle
well known all the country for his scientific
requirements in his profession architect. il may be
well to let the pshlic and more especially the democratic
senators and members OF the next Congress- know that
Mr. Mills appointed Office under the adminis,ra
ton Of General Jackson that he is a good democrat
and OF Objectionable TO the EnglIshman Easily
from his association with that great and good Gen
Jackson. w.

GrNrLEmEN: In your paper of Tuesday last informed
the public that story current about the city, and
said TO rest good authority, to the effect that the
Commissioners of Public Buildings, the Englshman
Easily had declared TO certain gentlemen that The statue
OF General Jackson should not be placed in Lafayette
Square And inlima.ed that an Engshman woaId be
likely to harbor malice against the memory OF the man
who had numerically logged his countymen as the
hero in question had done at New Orleans
In your paper of "Wednesday last inquired whether
you knew OF any way in winch foreigner could be-
ton either of himself oil his father. while be was a
minor, and dwelling within the said States and further
whether the evidence OF such naturalization should moi
appear on The record of some court
II appears by your paper OF Thursday that some per-
son had authorized you 70 state that the father OF me
and that he was nalurazed in August 1885, meaning to
say, as | understand il, in the same city. You were
further authorized TO deny the correctness OF The express
sons attributed by TO the Commissioner IN regard 10
he statue OF President jackson.
o. Friday replied and endeavored in the fret place.
to show that evidence OF naturalization. less than the
record, a copy of il, would be available. And re-
marked that since it was stated where the record must
be- if any existed it would be very easy in such 10
obtain il, to remove all doubts on this question.
Here let add that the circumstances OF this man hav-
ing been volunteer and even captain in some militia
company, and also member OF the city council are in
themselves very frivolous and can only serve to show
IL Oh liz hap nnn npta
competent proof should now be produced OF the pre-
tended naturalization.
As II regarded the main pont-the conduct OF the Eng
shman in regard the siauel called for the express
sion admitted TO have been used since the denial went
further than TO the correctness of those given BY me- in
order that il might be whether there was any sub
stantia difference between those charged and those ad
mitted.
Lastly. added in my communication of Friday, that
it had been stated that this Englishman had been once
turned out OF the navyyard by The orders OF Gen. Jack
and that if true, this might have increased his ire
against the statue
nished statement of the in hand; and if any
should suppose either my facts reasoning to be mate
rally incorrect let him lake issue with me- and will en-
deavor TO maintain my positions.
And now will repeat the question proposed in one
OF my previous communications Will President Fill
longer continue this man in Office, and thus become
accessory this outrage upon the memory of OF the
most popular and respected Of his predecessors 1t is
said. indeed that the President enertans unaccounl
able personal attachment for this Englishman but re-
mains 10 be whether there no limits to 1t.
And this reminds me OF another affair, connected with
this point and which has recently occurred II has been
stated. upon authority in which have confidence that
the Engshman, during the last month, declared that he
would have Mr.. Mills the architect OF the Patent Office,
of his place before the 10th OF August And, won.
derful may seem, the admiral waved his wand and
on the LIST or I'd Of August of vent the head of Mr..
Mills.
This gentleman thus decapi,ateG. is well known here
architect of the first class, and highly respectable
citizen. His name is identified with many of the public
works. and be is experimenting the erection oil the
National Washington Monument here and also erect
ing Richmond Virginia But OF what avail all this
