To the Public.

From the last issue of the News
and Journal I find myself placed in
a very unpleasant predicament, and
used through the public press to
furnish political food, when l was
assured that the article was not in
tended for publication. Believing
now that the intention was to raise
the hue and cry Of persecution with
the hope of vindication, and desir>
ing to do justice to all parties, l
feel it my duty to furnish full, un-
vanished facts, and let the public
judge of the merits OF the case.
As is known to all men here, tive
of my sons for the last fifteen years
have been living in exile under an
Indictment which made it unsafe
for them to visit their home.
Their aged mother, heart broken
and full Of sorrow, had died with
out the pleasure of looking upon
their faces. Being aged and in6rm
and feeling that my sun OF lite was
almost set, my greatest desire was
to see my sons at liberty and freed
from the stigma of crime before l
died. With this intent set about
getting up q petition to the Cover.
nor. asking their pardon.
The sympathy of the entire com
munitv was with me, and, as one
man, they came forth and signed
my petition. Under this state of
affairs, Col. ] NJ. Griggs told me
that i! ! would defray the expens,
es, he and Mr.. Q B. Stevens
would take the petition and secure
the pardon o. my sons To this
proposition, | most gladly acceeded
and paid, in actual cash by way Of
expenses, three hundred and thirty
dollars, and railroad tare and hotel

informing the citizens and property owners of
this city that the pavement laid on Main street
between First and Third streets is not Bitumi-
nous Lime Rock, but is an artificial mixture and
not laid by the company. We make this an
nouncement for the purpose of disabusing the
minds of those who entertain the belief that
this pavement was laid by this company and
are disposed to criticise our material as being
soft and not suitable for the streets of this city.
The only Bituminous Lime Rock Pavement
here was laid by this company, and extends on
Main street from south line Of Third to Ninth
street, and on Spring street from Temple to
Ninth streets. Bituninous Lime Rock does
not become soft and mushy under the heat of
the sun, but always remains firm and elastic.
We have already laid on the streets of this city
about five hundred thousand square feet of this
pavement to which we take pleasure in inyit-
