Elsewhere VIII be found q description of the
progress OF the work OF strengthening the
foundation OF the Washington monument
Under the charge OF Col. Casey this work seems
to be prosecuted with a degree OF care and
scientific accuracy that will secure founda-
tion of unquestionabIe strength for the support
of the additional weight needed for the compile
ton OF the monument. 1t has been ascertained by
careful computations that whether the monu-
ment De completed upon the present plan or upon
the Story design, the foundation will need this
strengthening process to ensure stability: and
therefore the best, and, In fact, the only course
to be pursued is to go on with the present work.
and carry 1t out fully until there shall not be an
opening for bubble or question as to the ability
OF the foundation to support the pressure OF Its
10000 or more tons OF additional weight.
Moreover, 1t is settled by decision OF
the Attorney General, August, 1876 that In the
act for the continuance of the construction
of the Washington monument lit was under
stood and intended that the plan adopted and
partly executed by the society must be followed
by the commission; there being nowhere In the
act. either In terms or by implication, any dis
cret!on conferred upon the commissioners in
that respect The people OF the United States
who have donated the money to carry the mon
ument to its present height have also
the right TO insist that it shall remain
upon Its present site, and that the plan for its
construction TO which they contributed shall not
be materially changed. AS, therefore, the mon
ument must remain In its present position, and
as the work Of Strengthening its base to ensure
its stability when 1t shall be carried up to the
full grandeur of its proportions, has been car
ried very far to completion. Congress should now
give tie requisite authority for finishing the
new base, and then for going on with the WORK
of the superstructure as fast as may be, so
that those now living may hope to see the
monument TO George Washington completed,
and the national reproach effaced

lady in the country sent us word that
she had an unfailing we'll of excellent

a perhaps needed correction. 1t might
have been inferred abroad from what
we said before that there was no good

for the same point--you may rect as
sured We we're glad to have company,
tor mountain roads are not 60 easily

was still Eve miles to Glendale. After
one hours drive or more over mount

and We think that they done very we'll.
The next thing in order was dinner
after which speeches would DO made. .

had been invited to take dinner with
Mr.. Cruz and lady; many thanks TO
Mrs Cruz for her good dinner. In fact
oil the ladies' were very kind and look
Cd after the wants of all. Glendale
ought to be proud Of her good ladies.
After dinner notice was gwen that

The next speaker was Judge Ed. r.
Kone Of San Marcos he came to time
most magnifcently, although Clifton
had said about all there was to soy,
yet he said he had made Some notes
and he would try his hand on them.
After taking square drink Of water
and side glance at his notes, the
Judge got off, his voice rolled along
the valley of the Blanoo and re.echoed
across the SUBMITS, ofthe Twin Sisters.
History tells US that Dan. Webster was
an orator, but if you could have heard
the Judge on his home stretch you
would have had to soy good bye DAM
I never saw tlfs Judge in a better con.
