JfUfrsim Davie anil Ilia BlamUrew—In
famous Falsehoods Exposed.
Meadow Brook, DeKalb Co., Ga., |
July 31st, 186(1. j
To thr Editor of the Metropolitan Record:
lH \r. Sir.: I have been convinced by the
teachings of history and man, and more par-
tii'ulavly by the events wliich have come
umUr rny i.vn personal knowledge during
tile past tiv. years, “that a lie well stuck to
answers as well as the truth” to serve the
purposes of hate and envy, and woe be unto
the individual and people who are forced to
permit a systematic and persistent slander
umvtuted. Victor Hugo says somewhere
that a man's destinn depends as much upon
what is said nl him as on what he actually
ilo,*s.. The fanatics of the North have acted
on this tact for thirty years, and the digni
fied contempt with which we have regarded
their misrepresentations has ended in our
ruin and desolation.
1 hese reflections have been called to mind
by leading the report of the committee ap
pointed by Congress to investigate the
charges against President Davis of complicity
with the assassination of the late President
Lincoln.
It appears to me that a sense of shame
"’ould prevent any set of men who had a
particle of fueling or honor from the attempt
to link the name of such a character as Jef-
Icrsen Davis with murder and crime.
Alter the most diligent investigation, run
ning through a period of more than twelve
mouths, and suborning witnesses, who, for
the honor of humanity be it said, recanted
•‘i the last moment and confessed their dark,
crime, what does the whole testimony
amount toy
First, that Mr. Davis, during the progress
of a long and terrible war, conducted on the
part of our enemies with a haibarous cruel-
f. v unknown to modern times, received a lew
■"Ucrs from a few individuals, requesting per-
“Moh t" offer themselves as instruments to
r ™ Huir country of the men who were re-
i r '‘rJc,j as Hie wicked authors of our sfc
Mgs. These letters are paraded before the
public—one from C. L. o. DeKalb, another
Irom J S Paramere, aud another from Lieu
tenant Waldemar Alston, requesting his per-
mission, lbc two first are uuknown to mo;
but Lieutenant Alston was an officer under
my command at one time—an unassuming
and intelligent youth, about nineteen years
of age, who had witnessed enough cruelty at
•he hands of the euetny to turn his heart into
bitterness and gall. In none of these cases
was the permission sought grauted; and the
committee were careful to suppress those
cases where it was not only refused, but re
jected with indignant scorn, as was always
the case when these kind of letters welj
brought to the personal knowledge o^MP.
Davis. I can testify to one case which hap
pened in my own regiment, where it was not
only refused, but the party who made the
request was placed under arrest, and or
dered to he tried by court, martial. A gal
hint young lawyer from Memphis, Tennessee,
who was (Japtain of Co. —, Ninth Tennessee
Uegitnem, Morgan’s Brigade, smarting under
the sense of recent injuties, wrote to Mr. Da
vis to request permission to go tp Washing
ton to assassinate Mr. Lincoln and his Cabi
net, blow up the Capitol, &c. Mr. Davis
endorsed on the back of the letter, “Atrocious.
Respectfully referred to the Secretary Ot
War. who will order the arrest aud trial by
court martial of the writer. J. D.” T This
letter, with this endorsement, was returned
to Gen. Morgan while his brigade was at
‘‘Black’s Shop, near Murfreesboro,’’ by Mr.
Baudolph, then Secretary of War. Captain
—— was arrested, and was so mortified' at
his arrest that he shouldered a musket, and
inarching headlong into the first battle, was
killed at Milton, Tennoobba. -Lvi
1 hese facts can be established by Gen.
Basil Duke, Colonel N. C. P. Breckenridge,
Major William P. Elliott, Cotriuiissary 'c*
Brigade, Major David II. Llewellyn, Q. |tF
Col^R. A. Alston, then Captain and A.
The second charge, which depends on the
false testimony of one Lewis P. Bates, a
I 8 '2P u s ad f_ 1 > n Jj ee *
Breckinridge’s dispatch announcing the/ isL
sassinatiou of President Lincoln, wifi;
“Well, General, I do not know, if it were to
be done at all, it were better that it were
well done; and if llie same had been done
to Andy Johnson, the Beast, and Secretary
Stanton, the job would then be complete.”
A more shameless lie was never uttered
even by a renegade Yankee, and if this man
has auy conscience left, it must sting him
with remorse, until he is driven, like the
other witness, to repent and take back this
damning sin. ■ God forgive him, for we never
can.
The writer of this was standing within ten
feet of Mr. Davis when he received this dis
patch, and never will he forgbt the awful
solemnity of the occasion, and the noble
grandeur and dignity of Mr. Davis’ appear-
auce. It was in the town of Charlotte,
North Carolina; Qc»eral Lee’s army had
surrendered. Johnson's army was entirely
disorganized all was cpufusiqU, dread, uu
certainty and gloom. Mr. Dalis' loomed up
more proudly than he had ever before ap
conduct the war on any other than the most
humane principles.
The press accused him of being accessory
to the murder of our soldiers because he re
fused in so many instances to retaliate when
they had been barbarously executed, aud
even the Confederate Congress censured his
conduct, uud many ot it s prominent members,
Who haye long since received their pardons,
frequently remarked that “ We were dying
ot West Point and Davis Religion.” Nothing
could swerve him from the rule lie had laid
down and the determination which he had
formed of building up a government which
by moral contrast must fiually prevail.
I am, therefore, amazed that in the face of
these facts, which are so well known and es
tablished, that a Congressional Committee
would attempt to blacken his name by con
necting it with conspiracy and crime. All
such attempts will most surely fail, and al
though he has been imprisoned in a dungeon
and bhackled with letters, there is a halo of
glory that, surrounds his brow that no slander
eau laruish or persecution destroy.
Yours very truly, ft 'A. Alston,
Late (Jon federate Army.

pcared lome; ('of he atom! tyP all that vast i« by ail Kq,minted
crowd, seemed to retain, the majesly and self- M? tba. they will
poesessiou of his character, and to rise with
the emergencies of that dreadful hour. Ri
ding iuto towu at the head of a small cav
alry escort, he dismounted opposite to the
bouse of this Lewis F. Bates, who had seat
Mr.Davis a special invitation to be his guest,
prompted, no doubt, by the desire to collect
testimony iu private conversation, that he
mi\,ht use hereafter to advantage ; instead of
soliciliug it as an honor, that he might trans-
Mt> to bis posterity.
DUiuonntiiig from his horse, ho proceeded
to enter the house of Mr. Bates, and was met
at the sleps by Col. William Johnson, a
prominent citizeu of Charlotte, aud President
of the Charlotte and Columbia Railroad, Who.
said: “ Mr. President, in behalf of the do
zens of Charlotte, I give you a cordial wel
come to the hospitalities of our town.” Mr.
Davis, who was dressed in a plain suit ol
grey, aud wore a low-crowued white felt hat,
nearly covered with crape, bowed low ami
gracefully, saying as he did so, “I thank
you, sir.” The large crowd, consisting
almost entirely of soldiers, with tearlul eyes
and overflowing hearts, said, witli deep earn
estness, “speak to us,” “let us hear from
you.” lie turned with his kind, beuignant,
dignified look, to the crowd, and said:
“ My friends, I thank you for this evidence
of your affection. If 1 had cpme as the
bearer of glad tidings—if I had come to an
nounce success at the head of a triumphant
army—this is nothing more than 1 would
have expected, but coming, as I* do, to tell
you ol veiy great disaster; coming, as I do,
to teli you that our national Affairs haye
reached a very low point of depression;
coming, I may say, a refugee from the capital
of the country, this demonstration of your
love fills me with feelings loo deep for utter
ance.” [Oh, mv God! he felt it all. | “This
has been a war of the people lor the people,
and I have been simply their executive, and
if they desire to continue the struggle, I
am still ready aud willing to devote my
self to their cause. True, General Lee’s
army lias surrendered, but the men are still
alive, the cause is not yet dead; aud only
show by your determination and fortitude
that you are willing to suffer yet longer, and
we may still hope for success. In reviewing
my administration of the past four years, 1
am conscious of having committed errors,
and very grave ones ; but in all that I have
done, in all that I have tried to do, I can lay
my baud upon my heart and appeal to God
that I have had but one purpose to serve, but
one mission to fulfill, the preservation ot the
true principles of constitutional freedom,
which are as dear to me to-day as they were
four years ago. I have nothing to abate or
take hack ; if they were right then, they are
right now, and no misfortune to our arms can
change right iuto wrong. Again I thank
you.”
These were the last words of Jefferson
Davis to his vanquished and scattered people,
aud few among that vast audienco who will
not remember them. God knows they sunk
deep into my heart, and I -can never foel
again what I then felt, when I heard my no
ble chieftain bid us what I felt was his last
adieu. Many of us could no longer retain
our sobs.
He bowed, and was about to turn to go
into the house, when a little hoy from thft
telegraph office handed him a dispatch. He
opened it calmly, and read it iu silence, and
folding it up and returning it to the enve
lope, handed it to Colonel William Johnson,
remarking as he did so, “This contains very
astounding intelligence.” The crowd, whose
anxiety could no longer he restrained, cried
out, “Read it!” “Read it!” aud Colonel
Johnson, in his deep, slow and solemn tone,
read it aloud. Some thoughtless persons
shouted, and Mr. Davis looked in such earn
est reproof, that instantly every voice was
hushed as though they were ashamed of hav
ing broken the solemnity of the scene by such
indiscreet joy. The writer then shook hands
with Mr. Davis, who asked him about his
family, and other questions of tliat kind, with
which he was in the liahlt.of making all feel
at ease who came near him. Captain Ed
ward Lowndes, ot South Caiolina, was then
introduced, and after a short conversation
Mr. Davis retired into the house.
This, on my honor, was all that occurred
on that solemn occasion, for who could ever
forget it. Alas that one should be so base as
to misrepresent and malign the noble man
who bore himself under such trying circum
stances so as to leave his impress forever
upon the minds of all who saw him.
It is well known to the people ol the south
Davis was abused, and almost
that Mr. ", „ „„ firmlv In The wtaknesnpicpniDtn&uqnox iw»Kiuan fi meuiuo.o

Your Committee therefore recommend that the pay
of the private* in the police force be advanced to
seventy-five dollar* per mouth, to take effect from
the 1st instant. John 0. Ferbtll, Chairman.

was referred the petition of sundry citizens, lot-
holders, and occupants of Springfield Plantation, ask
ing Council to have certain repairs dono on the road*
and bridge* through the Springfield Plantation, re

bo put m good order a* soon a* practicable.
C. C. CASEY,
Acting Chairman Street and Lane Committee.
The Fire Committee, to whom was referred the com
munication of Henry Hliin, Chairman, accompanied
by preamble u*nl refittliitUn&S adopted by * The Officers
aud Member pi tUnt>flethorpe, Washington, Germa
nia, Mechanics and hiOtropuliuUi: Companies, m
mass meeting assembled,” beg leave to report that
they have considered the communication aud the reso
lutions of the parties to each other and the City Coun
cil. i'oiir committee cannot refrain from uoticiug the
objectionable tune pt the coutplaiuaiite, accompanied
by vague list iUi)tU'k>us charges of misconduct towards
them on the part of tho Savannah Fire Department.
These statements are not justified by any evidence
adduced, and are not sustained by the previous record
of the Fire Department. Suited, perhaps, to tho tern
perature of a midsummer mass meeting, they cannot
be accepted as valid by calmer men. The result
which, it is alleged, attended their efibrts at “amica
ble discussions,” was the action of a deliberative body
of which these complainants represent themselves as
members, and to which their case wap. by themselves
referred for decision.
Further, a majority of the complainants have no
rights involved.
The Oglethorpe Firo Company, No. 1, which was
formerly attached to the Firo Dci»aruaeut, under act
of the Legislature, ceased to exist several years ago,
by reason of the expiration of its charter.. A portion
of the former members then obtained iro|u the Inte
rior Court of Chatham County pother charter, with
identical name, oouditioii* and ' privileges, under
wkicMhey are utiwaieQllgi. £Tni iras done in viular
tiou of the wishes and (as was claimed) of tho right*
of tho other luembeys. The result was a suit at law,
as to the right 'of property fn the engine,,which wiu»
owned by the former company. Meantime the Fife
Department, in whose charge the engine had been
placed by the company while iu existence, kept posses
sion of it until the controversy should be settled by
the courts. All r the occupation of the city by the
United States forces, a military order took the engine
away from the I’ire DepartideOt ami turned it over to
tlie persous who now hold it. This action appear* to
have been confirmed by Council, but, it is supposed,
would scarcely lie justified by a body itself a creation
of law. The Metropolitan Fire Company has not been
added to the Firo Department, and can claim no rights
orprivileges under it. Its services were offered to the
Department aud were measurably accepted, iu antici
pation of a recognition by Council, aud its officers
were invited to seats at the meetings of the Depart
ment. The Mechanics’ Fire Csmpauy is in the same
condition, except that it lias no engine, and is asking
the aid of tho Fire Department iu the equipment.
Tlie burden of complaints seem to be that the Savan
nah Fire Department, organized aud constituted to
control ami manage the lire affairs of tlnf city, refuse
to yield to the dictation of a minority of persous, a
few only of whom are entitled to scat*'at its board.
Further, it has come to the knowledge of your Com
mittee that the avowed purpose of some of the com
plainants is not merely to effect changes, but to break
down the Fire Department, and*hat their influence to
the accomplishment of this purpose shall be felt at the
approaching mun.fepal e ecikui.
Some of these person* have in other years been con
nected with the Firo Department, aud liave beeu com
pelled to leave it under the adverse judgment of its
member*. But it will bo boruc in mind that all ol
them have sought the present connection, being fully
advised of the disadvantages, which it is alleged, at
tend snch membership. Your Committee Woulu speak
plainly on this matter. Their past and present expe
rience and information render them familiar with the
history of the Savamrtih Fare ©ojaietiuoiit. They know
the Department to have been a useful agency in a most
important duty o^the City Government. It has only
aspired to usefulness without violence or ostentation.
It has never sought notoriety, nor troubled the public
ear, except when on several similar occasions to the
present, it lias been dragged lbrtll to resist agitation
whirii threatened its existange. Tho un^y department
of the City Government which is not affected by politi
cal changes, aud which illustrates by its deportment
tho advantages of such policy, should, iu the judg
ment of your Committee, be so maintained that it may
never be placed under such destructive influences.
Besides tfe violence, contempt,) Ac., from the Fire
Department towards the complainants which have al
ready been alluded to, usurpation on the part of the
Savannah Fire Department brought to light. The
last resolution but three of the Beries reads thus:
Resolved that we call the attention of the City au
thorities to the fact that every city of the dimension of
Savatinah has a Fite Department, Mid that in no other
city doe* one company have the privilege of acting as
a department, w’hieh consequently gives said one com
pany ^superiority over all other companies as is the
case in our midst ”
Except that your Committee had from otker sources
than the statement of this resolution learped its im
port, they would confess themselves ataloBs to appre
hend its meaning. It has usually been supposed that
the purpose of organizing tho Fire Dep^rtfiacnt was to
place the control of all matters appertaining to its du
ties iu its hands. It is here complained that the Fire
Department is “one company having that privilege ol
acting as a Department, Ac.”
Tlie Fife Department is constituted under the ordi
nances of the city, of a certain number of persons, who
under organization to be approved by the City Council
having* charge of all matters appertaining tfi fires, con-
trol of apparatus. Ire, -The. management of engines
are dBeienaUnLhy the Cflnef Firdtotire from its mem
bers, who are of sufficient number for this purpose.
Uutil this organization waa patched, its action was ac
ceptable, and produced no discord. The complainants
are independent companies, choosing their managers
without reference to the Fife Department, and some
of them entitled to be represented at the meeting* of
the Savannah Fire Department by their treo superior
officers who are called “ex-officio additional members.’
The waakness of cpmbinatioa of two kinds ff members
tioiis which have arise*—painful because their effect
upon tho next popular vote could not always before-
seen by the existing Council—has resulted iu the
weakest ©fall causes—t^om promise instead of decision.
Diversity of feeling and interest has been maintained
because the ex-officio additional members depend up
on tho vote^ of their companies, which have .tsually
assumed more or igas mdepcMdeuce of and autagunism
to the Fire Dejmfrintent wife regard to its control
over tiiuzn. XUo uonuilainapta on this occasion
have Seemed H necofrtdry to resolve “That cmr
officers (should) consider it their duty to obey all
orders ot the Chief (fireman), or ityf hie absence,
the commanding assistant. Such clear per
ception of duty in subordinates is of course
commendable, hut it will be remembered that several
previous collisions in this department have arisen be
cause of the fefpsalot. similarly organized companies
to obey ad Driirhhfao Fire Department. It is
probable Mat the MriKmy of the mixed organization
would have been promoted if the right of cifiitirIllation
by the Fire Department of the two superior officers
had been continued la that body, hut Mia waa. after
a controversy, taken away, and the Department was
looked npou aa antagonistic to their interests. Some
of these companies bare been enabled by pecuniary aid
from insnranoe companies, citizens, and in soimtlr
cases from the city treasury, to purchase audnoDfr '
their awn engines. Their apparatus may, therefore,
be withdrawn from the city service at the option of
the companies, or when question, of title to the
property arise. The city holds no control over them
because their charters are derived from the Legisla
ture or the Courts. Of the fire companies represented
at this meeting, one has an engine,owned by the city;
one has no ehgine. and owners of their en
gines. Only one of theso companies can flurly claim
to bo attached to the Eire Department under the ordi
nances of the city. Eet It is sought to ^present the
Fire Department, which has control of all matter, ap
pertaining to fires, and hi* Six engines, with other
apparatus, managed by its regular members as one
company assuming undue control Vonr Committee
do not hesitate to assert tba# the city should own all
apparatus used for tire purpose*- Tfie city makes all
fire regulation*, pays expenses of Fire Department,
and is responsible to the citizen*. It should therefore
have control of all apparatus, through it* appointed
agency. Y ol l r CuiqmiUqe would now recur to the
complaint as to deprivation of rights of 'geX'ttftci?
additional members’ ’ by the Fire Department. It is
admitted that iu the most important feature ot or
ganization, the choice of officer* under whom they are
to serve, tfiey have the right of voting. The “Charter
Fund” was the result of the humiliation of .fines,
contributions, to., in the Savannah Fire Department,
and an act of incorporation was obtained in order that
this company might hold, use and control this fund
before either independent company was formed.
BwaejinoepepdeBt ynMajM subsequently obtained
IheprtvfegtLUf rffHXMentation ai the Fire Department
Board; but they exist uuaer separate acts of incorpo
ration. They are separate companies, governing
themielves, holding their own property, subject to
the control of the Fire Department to a de
gree only. For default in discharge of duties con
nected with tt* Fire Department, their first officers,
“ex-officio additional members," in common
regular members are liable to fine^ These fines are
paid into the treasury of the Fire pejartment. But
by resolution of the Fire Department 1 the fines so
paid into its treasury are aeb apart fan dhe separate use
of the independent companies foya whose officers
they arc collected. Because of the diversity of inter
ests, and because the time of the seals 1 bf these excep
tional members » limited, their tcan of office being
until the next annual election, it was agreed that they
should not act upon matters appertaining to the, gen
eral conduct of the Fire Department^ and shohlu be
exempted from some of the duties imposed upon the
regufer members. Their relations to the Fire Depart
ment aru by necessity different from those of the
regular members, and this difference has always been,
and must always be recognized. But they have the
right to present any matter to the Department, ami
be heard in their own behalf. The control of the
affair* of the Fire Department is with the regular
members, who are identified with its interests only;
who are not liable to the changes and influences
incident to elective officers; and who are ena
bled to hold their places Mid perform their duties in
accordance with the design of the Fire Department or
ganization. They are under proper conU*ol,but are inde
pendent of popular clamor. Your Comnitttee are aware
that change of circumstances may have rendered us*
; cobwy changes in the eqnJpmeni of the Fire Depart
ment. If this be so, the discussion and adoption of
the requisite plans for the occasion should be entered
upon. But such changes can have no bearing upon
the question in hand. Let improvements' in machin
ery ami equipments be adopted, if deemed expedient;
but let the control and responsibility of the fire bon-
ness of the city rest, then as now uport' a Fire Depart
ment subject to the city ordinances, hut tree from the
agitation of each political season. Your Committee
being impressed witli the conviction that no advan
tage to the public interests can result from change as
suggested in the communication Before them, that it
is the part of wisdom to uphold the present Firo De^
par tin Hiit, recommend that no action be taken In tbe
preffiises, and respectfully request to be discharged
from the further consideration of the subject.
Respectfully submitted,
C. C. Casey,
Chairman Fire Committee.

The resolution submitted to Council on the 24th of
•Inly,proposing an addition of twelve mounted men to
the police, and referred by the Board to the Mayor
for a report, has been carefully considered and exam
ined. The force as at present organized consists of
ninety privates, ten supernumeraries, nine officers,
and a detective corps of one hundred and sixteen ef
fectives, with full authority under existing ordinances
to the Mayor and Chief of Police to employ for any
emergency, should circumstances require it, such ad
ditional number of supernumeraries as shall semu to
them ueedful, and wheu employed to have the same
authority aud duties, aud be subject to tile same rules
and discipline as the regular policemen. By refer
ence to the record* of the past eight month* it will be
found that, through tbe energetic efforts «>f the force
.now employed, good order has been 'maintained as a
general rule in all parts of the city. - It would, there
fore, seein unwise to incur the additional expense of
a mounted force uutil the exigency shall imperatively
demand it. The employment of a patrol of tho char
acter suggested, will doubtless become necessary as
our limits expand and the influx of a vagabond freed-
men population thickens on the outskirts; but at the
present time tlie existiug police organization is
thought sufficient for all purposes of good order, and
it is therefore deemed inexpedient to recommend the
iucrease. Respectfull? submitted,
Edwabd C. Andebson, Mayor.
The Committee on Public Sales and City Lots, to
whom was referred the petition of 0. H. Olmstoad,
asking Council to offer for sale certain lots iu Chat

up for sale uuder tho supervision of the Commit
tee on Public Sales and City lots, except a lot set apart
for an Engine House.

REPORTS READ AND RECEIVED.
The Market Committee, in response to the petition
of sundry citizens, inviting the attention of tho Mayor
and Aldermen to the remote and inconvenient location
of the present market place to resident* in the eastern,
southern aud southwestern sections of the city, beg
leave to report: That they fully concur with tlie peti
tioner* in their views as to the necessity of a new
market at some other point, aud recommend that
steps be at once taken to secure a proper site for the
same, and to invite plans, specifications aud estimates
for a suitable structure, on the most improved
modern system, to be put up a* soon as the fiuauces
of the city will admit of it, and to be paid for
in bonds, issued or appropriated specially for that
object. The material difficulty will be the -selection
of a proper site, the most suitable at-the present time
being one which may doubtleas conflict with the
views of tlie present generation, but which in the
course of a few yt-ars will be appropriated ro the pur
poses of commerce or of domicile. Your Committee
alludes to a portion of the old cemetery facing on
Abercoru street, in connection with the present space
used as tlie pound. This would be the most central
portion of the public domain, looking to the increased
aud growing population of the city. The site is not
recommended, but simply suggested, f«*r tho con
sideration of the community, leaving it for them to
discuss and decide upon the matter. In connection
with this subject, it may not be amiss to take into
view the merits of tho market place now in use, a*
adapted to the want* of the older portion of the com
munity and the shipping interest*. It is obstructed,
ill-arranged, badly ventilated, and unsightly, and for a
reasonable outlay could be modernized and made pro
fitable in its revenue, so a* not only to meet tho in
terest of the exjieuditure on its own improvement, bnt
go far towards aiding iu the payment of that of a new
market elsewhere, should it be decided to erect one.

RESOLUTIONS.
encroached five feet two inches on Jefferson strant*
that the encroaching building at the corner of the

of the lane aud fronting on Jefferson street, have baaa
platedoothap»*p*thuaof;the. atnet, and the en-.
croaclunent on Jefferson street hag consequently been'
removed for about forty feet along said street. That
the removal of styd encroachment to toe «xtent aa
a>ov€f stated is m accordah(*e with ainf by ttm sxttnw
requirements of the Ordinances of the City of Savan

the City have beam abated ai; the same mapi^r mid
often to greater extent, aiia in no case that we are

We are, therefore, of the opinion that no damages

The undersigned freeholders of the city of Savan

leave to report: That in tlieir opinion it is uimecah
mry and inexpedient to extend Jefferson street !;eyoh<l
Us present terminus, for the fallowing reasons: “ •
Tatuall street, running parallel to the proposed ex
tension, only seventy feet fi^un Jefferson street, is u
wider and better street, and already open to Gwinnett
street, and affords all necessary outlet as a thorough
fare fur the.vicinity. Jefferson street at ite present
terminus is much narrower than in the heart of the
'city, and the original width cannot be resumed with
out creating an irregularity quite objectiooahte. Its
further extension will intersect private property for
over six hundred feet, equivalent to and at a coat to
the city of about six city lots. The benefit of the exten
sion would enure almost entirely to the owners of the
private property, without adding any appreciable ad
vantages to the public; the adjacent streets, Tatuall
and Montgomery, being amply sufficient for all the de
mands of trade, travel and neighborly intercourse.
