General Barnum made quite speech, enforcing
the importance Of passing the resolution. The con-

They had waited TIN patience had ceased

The Condition Of The GayOsO
Gas Company.

To the Stockholders OF the Memphis Gayoso
Gas Company:
Gentlemen : L feel it du$yOu to give 6
brief statement OF the present state OF
cur sff4irs. You will remember that in
the fail of 1867 an application was made
by the Memphis Gas Light Company to
Chancellor Smith for an Injunction 20
restrain US from proceeding wi h our
works. This was refused by the Cham
cellor, for the reason that the Memphis
Gas Light Company had no exclusive
privilege. Subsequently Thompson
Dean, q large stakeholder in the old
company, applied to the United States
Circuit Court, before Judge Trigg, who
granted the injunction restraining us
from further proceedings with our works.
From this decision We appealed the
case 10 the United States Supreme Court
at Washington. At the time OF the
st0ppRge Of our works we he'd laid nearly
four miles of gas mains, d works III
Fort Pickering were in al advanced
state, all Of the iron nearly ready fol
shipment, and at the rapid rste we were
progressing there Csc be 30 doubt but the
works would have been completed in Dc
csmber 1867. 1 have attended to the
case closely in Washington with this
view Of q speedy adjustment Of the legal
controversy, feeling confidence in the
business Of u Gaze. l suggested to Col.
d. G, MeRae early in 1868 our willing
ness To submit our brief and written AZ
garments to the Court, which the 4 urt
consented to take Up Immediately, Out
Col. McRse declined to accept the Terms
proposed. l have again Tried to get up
the case, but ell advances made were re-
fused. The only inference to be
from their reluctance TO bring on the
case must be want Of confidence in Its
merits, and to procrastinGte end pr0loDg
the hearing OF the case With the hope
Of breaking up the G4yOso Gas Com
pany. On the Sth inst, / received a tel5-
gram from my counsel that this case was
being tried, advising me by letter to pro-
coed with inc construction Of the work,
as there was not 2 shadow Of doIbt but
the i~pjJnction would be dissolved. l pre-
feEIeG, however, waiting for . final de-
cision. l was much surprised few dsys
ago in receiving 8 letter from my
sci, stating that Messrs. McR re q Humes,
counsel for the old company, had made
q personal appeal to the sympathies of
the Court OF last Monday and succeeded
in getting q -posipOnement OF the case
until October next, by an Increase of
their bond to $3.50, 600. must confess
this certainly was u disappointment to
me, and, no doubt, to you and many
others interested. However, Wa must be
patient and bear with il for 3 few months
longer. We are consoled in the feeling
that, in the end, we will eertAinly gain
our case. Then all the delays and wrongs
we have sustained Vii have to be paid
for by those and their bondemen who
have perpetrated this foul wrong upon
us. Permit me, in conclusion, TO ssy l
have the most Hnbo4nded confidence in
gaining our case, and assure you that 1
shall continue in the future, ss in the
past, to watch your interests closely il
this most important matter.
l remain, gentlemen, very respectfully, your
ObedienJ servant,
