the patriotic services Of Jerseymen said:-
Their record shines like the consultations In the

snbdued was policy Of action rather Than profess

profession OF splendid policy, the administration OF

ing the attemp. OF colored Councilman OF this city
to eat and drink at the public table Of the Springs
Hotel, IN Gettysburg, Pa. The name Of the colored
Councilman turns out to be Hatt0n, not Thompson,
and he left here in company with Mayor Bowen and
other gentlemen as member Of q munipical delega-
ton appointed to attend the Gettysburg dedicatory
services on behalf of the city Of Washington.
Mr.. Hatton complains that the facts then
and since published have not been correct,
and has prepared o long statement, which II not
calculated to increase Mayor Bowen's popularity
with American citizens OF African descent resident
hereab0uts or elsewhere. Bowen tried to play o
double game with Hatton, but the latter was too

Hatton hints indeed, that the previous statements
of the affair given to the press were prepared In the
interest Of Mayor Bowen, who has carefully endea-
vOred to make it appear that he Hatton's special
friend and protector on the trying referred
to; whereas, according to Hatton, he deserted and
denied him as truly as Peter did his master. Ac-
cOrding to HattOn's statement the following indi-
vduals composed the party that started from here
to attend the ceremonies:-Mayor Bowen, DR.. A. p.
Pardon, D. M. Davis William II. Chase, A. P. Clarke,
S. s. Baker, James Holmes. G. W. Hatton, George
Mcknight and E. c. Weaver. Hatton writes as fol-

Before we were out Of sight of the dome Of the
Capitol DR.. A. p. Pardon approached Inc and said
"Hatton, you know where we are golng'' tmeaning

little while and get our dinner, and you know it is
useless for us to attempt to make fight there for

they. On the arrival OF the train at Baltimore his
Honor the Mayor, according 10 the arrangements
made, tapped me on the shoulder, saying, snow,
with the Aldermen and Counciimen. excepting Mr..
Holmes, entered an omnibus and started for the
Northern Central Railroad depot. Some minutes
after MIR. Holmes and myself also started in coach
for the same place. paying our own expenses Tor the
honor OF being separated from our official asso
ciates After reaching the depot we crossed the
street to the Northern Central Hotel to obtain din

sought the same house where his Honor the
Mayor and our associates had chosen to take
their dinner unJrOubled by the presence
Of the irrepressibe African. Dinner being
announced. and there being but one dining room In
the house, had either to seek my dinner elsewhere
or enter and eat and drink in the same room with
his Honor and the aldermen and my associates Of
the Common Council. tAs the proprietor seemed not
unwilling that should do So the least OF the two
evils chose the latter, and ate and drank with
about the same appetite that seemed to impel his
Honor and the others. Dinner over we returned to
the depot and took seats in car provided fof our
accommodation. We arrived towards evening at
Gettysburg. and were met by the committee Of
ARRANGEMENTS, who provided an omnibus to convey

miles from the borough. Shortly after our arrival
