The following correspondence has passed
between the proprietors of'ths hotel aud
General Il. q. weightmani
wAsHINGToE, February IS, 1870.
General R. c. WsigtimaR;
DEAR SIR As the late uncomfortable fire
at the National Hotel, formerly carried on
by us from 1857 to 1868, aud is now again
leased by u.s. has caused the npprohenslO
iu few timid minds, that there was some
real danger on the occasion, or that the ma
terial and construction Of the hotel itself do
not furnish the usual reliance for the secur-
itg of guests, We will thank you (who have
so much knowledge Of the history of the
structure In its origin and gradual enlarge
nent) TO state facts In the premises, to the
Gud that our guests, friends, and the public,
muy have assurances Of the realities in the
care.
We are, respectfully, your obedlent ser
wants, +. TENNI d Co.
REPLY OF GENERAL n. c. wEI0HTNAr.
WA-HIH0FoS, February 10, 1870.
In reply to your note OF the 18th lust, per-
nit me 10 say that In the construction Of the
National Hotel, l was charged with that
supervision which contemplated permanencs
or durability.
The hotel, aS a whole, was designed by Mr..
Haddeld, All English engineer Of great ability
AMI experience, whose plan looked to great
spaciOusneSs iu respect to parlOrs, halls, &c.
was built In the more hm SubStdHiidl man
mar Of that period by Peter LenOI, esq, a
carpenter Of the first character, and Mr..
Jacob A. Bender, then late from Philade-
phia, bringing credentials OF the highest
character a. bricklayer.
The foundations were laid, not In the
Ordinary manner, but upon Inverted arches,
80 rs IN euler a weakening Of the walls or
hreak .lg Of them an lmposSlbllty. The
walls, both outer and the numerous parti-
tiO1 ones, we're Of great thickness, and we're
laid In the most careful and substantial
manner. Hence the almost Impossible thing
Of a spread II lire within the building. The
arches In the building above ground were
In CUrrer pol lence with Ih ,.r on which he |
foundations rested, and were made for ike |
purposes, o. strength and pormanence.
! speak p rticuiarly Of the maiu building, !
hut the extensions were substantially la !
cOuslsIence with II. They were constructed
under tue superinteudeucy Of John Gadsby,
ESQ, himse,f IN excellent builder, and who
was noted for great thOToughness In what
ever he undertook. "A Ru example In this
reg ard II may b. stated that as a security
against Dire iron tanks were constructed on
tue roof Of the hotel and hose wfs at hand.
AS a whole | regard the National Hotel as
having no peer in the respect of security or
sol dty of construction. And In the extra
ordinary siE5 Of Its parlOrs, public aud
private, ami of Its chambers, dining halls
aud passages there Is ample convenience
to permanent guests for the enjoyment Of
what approximateS home comforts.
Very respectfully, &c,

tract under which the claim arose had not
been performed, to which the plaintiff de-
INJURED. The Court held that the action
would lie under the general counts In as
sumpsit. 80 the demurrer was Withdrawn,
and action Joined.
The defence is that the contract was not
complied with, the construction of the
sewer being defective, aud not according to
tho stipulations Of the contract, but the
court ailows the plaintiff to come In and
prove what the work aud materials were
worth to the defendant.
Mcpherson and Appleby for plaintiff;
