On Friday last three suits were fled in
the Court of Common Pleas of Baltimore
city, in the names Of Governor James Black
Groome, State Treasurer Barnes Compton
and State Comptroller Levin woolford,
who compose the Board of Public Works,
against Charles c. Fulton & Son, proprie-
tors of the Baltimore american. The ag-
gregate amount of damage claimed il $75,-
600, or $4,000 in each case. In its de-
tense before the public the american states /:
1.-THE offense charged against US in this
case is the publication of . communication
from respectable and responsible citizen,
in relation to the alleged corruption in the
purchase of site for the House of Correc-
ton. Deeming this subject for public
comment, we have published variety of
communications under the heading of
Letters from the People" having refer
ence to the selection of the site and the
price paid for it, and we do not believe
that any twelve citizens of Baltimore can
be found who will be willing to mulct us
in damages for such publication. The
column devoted to Letters from the PED
ple," we have dedicated to the use of the
people under proper restrictions and su-
and if Gov. Groome, Comptrol-
Ter Woolford and Treasurer Compton have
been made the tools of the corrupt ring
which is robbing the Treasury Of the State,
it is their misfortune and not our fault.
Personally We have none but kindly feel
ings towards these gentlemen, and if the
charges made by our correspondent were
not true, our columns were open to them
for reply and refutation.''
