How JEFF Davis's Name Was Erased.

How JEFF Davis's Name Was Erased.
Mr.. VIM. r. Hutton formerly chief
engineer of the Washington aqueduct
and now distinguished civil engineer
in New York, writes the Star indors-
ing the following newspaper clipping:
Mr.. Montgomery Mcigs, son of the late Gen.
NJ. c. Megs, writes as follows TO the Wash
iugton Star: Permit me, through your col
umns, in the interest of truth, to correct the
statement lately published in some newSpa-
p.rs that the name of Jefferson Davis, rs Sec
retarv of War, inscribed on Cabin John bridge
at the time of its erection, was erased by the
order of my father General Meigs My father,
referring to similar statement published
year or two ago wrote member OF my faml-
ly that the erasure was made without consul
tation with him, without his knowledge and
at time when he no longer had any control
whatever over the aquednct.'
Mr.. Hutton's letter says:
The above cutting was sent me from
Washington some months ago. a re-
cent conversation with Col. Elliot in
charge of the Washington aqueduct in
duces me to give the facts concerning
the removal of Jefferson Davis's name
from Cabin John bridge, which it seems
has been attributed to Gen. Meigs.
wholly without reason, he being at the
time quartermastcr general. In
June, 1862, at the request of the Secre-
tary of the Interior, Hon. Caleb B.
Smith, to whose department the aquc-
duct had Just been transferred, | ac-
companied the Secretary and q num-
Der of members of Congress on tour
of inspection of the aqueduct by way of
the canal. Opposite Cabin John sew
eral of the party disembarked and
walked to the bridge for q nearer view.
Returning in hot haste, DO you
know said Hon. Galusha Grow to the
Secretary, "that id rebel Meigs
has put jeff Davis's name on the
bridge" Turning to me the Secretary
said THE first order give you is to
cut JEFF Davis's name off the bridge.
A few days later was appointed chief
engineer of the aqueduct. Not taking
seriously the Secretary's remark | did
nothing in the matter A week later
Mr.. Robert Mcintyre, contractor, ar
rived to resume his work upon the
bridge and called to pay his respects to
the Secretary. The Secretary said to
him that they had put jeff Davis's
name on the bridge; he wished he
would cut it of. ''With the greatest
pleasure, Mr. Secretary" i" was the re-
ply. And the contractors first work
was to remove Mr.. Davis's name

any other contingency arise to overwhelln,
the ex'president could turn his strength

WASHINGTON, d. g., Feb. 25.-The op.
ponents OF free coinage will make another
effort tonight to secure the abandonment
OF action of the silver question until next
year. The Democratic members of the
senate have been invited to conference.
The opponents OF free coinage state that
tney are in favor of the continued use of
both gold and silver as money, and unal-
terably opposed to any legislation that
will drive either metal out of general cir.
culation. They are of the opinion that
the continued agitation of the free coin
age question before the country has
pronounced its opinion at the November
election is fraught with danger to the
general business, industrial and financial
interests of the country, and hence the
attempt to relegate the question TO the
rear. The indications are that free coin
age is dead issue in the house for the
present session.

OTTAWA, Ont, Feb. 25.-The Dominion
parliament was formally opened to-day
by Governor General Lord Stanley, and
owing to the recent disclosures of bribery
and corruption some exciting sittings are
anticipated. At the close of the last ses-
SION, seven months ago, there was a gov.
eminent majority OF twenty-eight out of
2oO members of the parliament. Since
then over thirty members have been
unseated by the courts for bribery and
corruption in connection with their elec.
tions. The elections have been held in
about twenty of these constituencies
with the result that the government ma.
lorty is now thirty-eight, with the
prospect that it will be considerably
increased by the elections which are TO
take place within the next few weeks.
1t had been expected by the Liberals that
they would be successful in all the off
elections, but their canse has been con-
slderably Eurt by disclosures of wholesale
boodling in Quebec. The government
has very little of program prepared, and
to add to its troubles the opposition will
call upon it for full statement regarding
the failure of the mission of Sir John
Thompson, Hon. Mackenzie Bowel and
Hon. Geo. E. Foster, who recently went
to Washington for the purpose of talking
reciprocity with the state department,
and on their arrival found that they could
do nothing owing to the fact that they
lacked credentials. That they were SO
lacking is simply due to the fact that the
imperial government had given them
no authorization to negotiate treaty
while Canada had no power to negotiate
directly for. herself on any subject with
any foreign power.
