1855: Perceiving from an account of the pro-
ceedings in the Board Of Aldermen, on Monday
evening last, published in city pa per, that AL
aernah Riggs TOOK occasion TO allude to the bill
for the erection of ma ket- house in the Seventh
"ard az being Another Towles affair feel
called on TO repel the insinuation against me.
personally, involved therein. That there was
nothing whatever wrong in the manner in which
suPeHhiended the construction of the First
Ward mar ket- house, Is evidenced in the fact OF
the passage Of my bill for that service through
me Board OF Aldermen, though II was opposed
by Mr.. Riggs, on the ground that there had been
no necessity for my employment.
Vow, the truth is, this ungenerous aspersion Of
Alderman Riggs upon me, was simply intended
as side blow at Mayor Magruder's admini.;ra-
ZION OF our municipal affairs. II would have
been lar more manly and appropriate to his posi-
lion IN society for him to have made that assault
directly, where 1t was intended to cut, rather
IMAM upon NE apparently. But that is after all,
matter OF taste, however much NAV regret that
mas taste has led him to indulge in uncalled-f for
iDuendos against me.
