Aldermen IN TINS case the hHdfrSTOuHd charge
OF donder imputed to me, and the cowarlly
| threats and menaces preferred against me, and
out OF my presence, by persons cannot reach
compel me to give to my fellow citizens and to
| the public plain and correct statement Of all
matters relative to this affair within my know
! ledge Though this mode Of vindicatnr my
character is painful to me, consider | must use
it for selfdelence. Now to the facts:

Board Of Assistant Aldermen1, and before any
other business Of importance had taken place,

had been app0inted) presented himself beto"e
said Committee with letter from me, accom-
panyiDg authentic public documents concerning
| Mr. George Paudelly, which letter and docu-
mcnts will he found below. The Committee,
| DR.. Dalton, chairman, refused to take cogui-
zan2e Of said letter and documents by a vote Of
six 10 two. Me,srs Magioni and B1udousquie
in the minority. This Committee comes back
10 the Board and reports through its chairman
that: MI the members elected were duly

TO them by my friend Mr. Latour At this
stage Of the proceedings Mr.. Latour vehemently
protested against the adoption Of the report, and
stated openly that the Committee on Elections
had refused to take cognzance Of my letter and
documents accompanying it,
The yeas and nays being called upon the
adoption Of said report, 10 members voted for
