i II is undoubtedly true, that Mr.. Street
has been correctly taught that the s'Eng-
Iish language has meaning, or rather
that a sentence written in plain english
''means something !" but the dihcuIty in
Mr. Streets case il, that his instructor wss
not able to give him brains enough to
conprehebd what 1t did mean. Mr.. Street
SAYS every one knows that | filed the
oescs Of City Recorder from March 1857
to March 1859, and that Mr. Treynor fii-
cd 1t nearly all the time from the end oil
my last term to the commencement Of the
present term,' and hence iaboring undeI
the belief that the English Language
means something" and not being able &c
comprehend what il does mean, he has ar
rived at the grave conclusion that thai
part Of my Inaugural quoted by him val
charge of ''foul play" having been com.
mitted either By Treynor or himself. Nov
every one knows that the City Warrants
are payable TO bearer, and pass about
from one to another, and therefore, il
raised, might have been raised by any on'
else As easily as By either Of the Ex-Re'
corders, and it ia only upon the hypothe.
sis that no other person vas capable Of
committing the forgery, If one had beer
committed, that the Ex- Recorder can con,
stras the tanguags quoted as S'charg'
aimed directly at either MFR. Treynor o.
me" (him.) Twin dismiss this portion
of the subject by saying, that did mo-
+ intend to convey, BY the language quotes
! by Street, from my inaugural, the ides
that either Mr.. Treyuor or Street had rails
ed the Warrants, if in fact they had been
t raised, nor do I believe that the Ianguag,
used is applicable to them more than t,
, other persons. merely asserted prop
! cation which was, that mistake had beer
, made in entering the amount Of the War

D made that the Warrant had been raised
