before us proofsheet of certain aidavits made by Mr.
Barney, Robert Ludlow, John Mowatt and w. F. Leo
nard in regard to the alleged frauds California emf
grants by E. H. Pride e. Co. The main allegations in
these adavits that neither Barney nor Pride re-
presented themselves either agents owners of the
Monumental City that Barney sent Pride to Panama to
secure tickets for passage on said steamer from Panama
to San francisco that purchasers OF tickets here were
well aware that they could get tickets for the other
side except of Pride at Panama that the Monumental
City broke down and could not fulfill her time; in
short Barney denies all the allegations of fraud, and
charges that the whole thing conspiracy to extort
money. Mr.. Ludlow, who clerk in Barney's
Office that he present at nearly all sales Of
tickets certificates and heard Barney represent
himself partner as being agent or owners of the
Monumental City that Barney never, in his hearing,
sold any bona de tickets for the Monumental City, but

pieces Of silver He unduy jealous of the glory OF
the transaction glory which fancy few honest men

B The Clay Festival Association cele-
brate the birthday Of the aged Statesman this eve
ming, April - by their regular banquet at the Apollo
Saloon. We expect to the Hall much more crowded
than usual that OCCASION not only because it Is pos
sible that this viii be the last Of these Festivals during
Mr. Clays lifetime but because he already enjoys some
thing of the impartial justice Of posterty and to great
extent no longer suffers from partisan distrus and op
position His life and fame recognized as belonging,
not to party but to the country, and men of all shades
OF opinion rejoice to do him honor.
