Tlie Baltimore Sun asyi: The city of London, as stated yesterday, lias just con ferred the lionor of the freedom of that city, in the customary gold box, upon Sir' Ilcnry Bessemer, the inventor cf the Bes semer process for making steel. To a resident of London this freedom of the' city is a valuable privilege. It enables him to become a member of any one of the rich guilds, to hold any municipal office to which he may be elected, to vote for members of Parliament to represent the city, to become a candidate himself, and exempts hint from all tolls and charges for every sort of vehicle ho may own In traversing the streets of the city. These ^olls all other residents of London en gaged in business have to pay when ever they take up goods in their carls, vans, or wagons within' tho limits of the municipality. The freedom of the city of London can only be acquired in three ways—by inherit inch-from a free citizen, through apprenticeship to a^free citizen who is a member of a guild, and by the gift of tire municipality, as in the case of Sit Ifenry Bessemer. This latter honor is only bestowed on notable persons, wh -thcr they be of native or foreign birth, and Is very charmingly bestowed. The freedom of tho city given to Sir Henry Bessemer is in testimony of the. remark able revolution that his process has produced in the making and the cheapen ing of steel. It has only been a few years in operation, and when his invention was first introduced iuto Sheffield the entire nroduct of steel did not exceed 51,000 tons per annum. Last year the manufac ture cf Bessemer steel in England was £30,000 tons, and it is estimated that in Europe this year 2,000,000 tons will be manufactured, and in England alone 1,- 000,000 tons. In the United States the product was 783,112 tons, almost rivaling that of England for the same period. The Bessemer process for the conversion of iron into steel has been hitherto ham pered and deprived of some of its effi ciency, as well as mada more costly, by the fact that only certain classes of ores were available in .lie process. In this country, so rich in the various forms of; oxidized Iron, several classes of ores are capable of conversion; in England, how ever, only the hematites of the Barro' district and the Bilboa ore of Sp.rin have been capable of reduction in the Bessemer converters. It is announced, however, that the new process, known as the Gll- christ-Thomas process, for converting or dinary iron into steel by means of a basic lining in the Bessemer cqnvcrtcrs, has been tried on a large scale in {Ire Middle- boro district, and the result is the success ful conversion of common Cleveland ore into Bessemer steel of good quality. The linn of Bolkvow, Vaughan <fc Co., the largest iron and steel masters in the Cleveland district, have commenced work on an extensive scale under this new pro. cess, and it is expected that the manu facture of steel rails will receive a great impulse from the success of these expert meats, whicli have engaged the attention ot manufacturers and engineers for some time past. Iio we Eat Too Such? The amount of nourishment which a person needs greatly depends on his con stitutional condition of health, habits and work. A sedentary man requires less than one whose duties demand the exercise of his muscles. And a brain worker demands more than an idler. But unquestionably the majority of us take more than we need, indeed food auil work are distributed mo3t unequally. The man of leisure is also the man of means, and fares sumptuously every day; while the laborer toils for eight hours and finds it difficult to get enough to repair the waste of his tissues. Yet a Chinaman or a Bengalee will toil under a tropical sun and find a few pice worth of rice or jowrah sufficient to retain his strength. A Frenchman will not eat half what an Englishman engaged in the same work will demand, and a Spanish laborer, con tent in ordinary times with a watermelon and a bit of black bread, tvill toil in the vineyards and grow fat on a dietary of onion porridge and grapes. It is true that Mr. Brassey, when building the con tinental railways, found that oue English navvy was worth a conple of 6pare fed for eigners. But, on the other baud, the British Columbian and California gold diggers, than whom a more mag nificent set of athletes does not exist, live in the remote mountains of the far West, mainly on beans, flavored witii a few cubes of pork. But they also obtain the best of water aud the purest of air, and their outrdoor life and active exercise enables them to digest every ounce of tlieir frugal fare. The English soldiers, though belter fed than those of any army except the American, do not get one half tlie amount of solid nutriment which the idlest of dob loungers considers indispen sable for his sustenance. An athlete in training is allowed even less food; yet he prospers on the limited lare, and prolongs liis life bv the regimen to which lie has been subjected. King Victor Emanuel Was a monarch of the most robust physique; yet he ate ouly one meal per day, and it Is manifestly absurd for any roan to re quire three more or less weighty meals and an afternoon cup of tea, to 1 support tlie exertion of walking to tlie club, riding The Morey Letter.

He testified thatGarfield's letter « affidavit In the Philina case was read to Jewell was genuine. y Question by Mr.Bell: “Look at this mg affidavit in the Philips,case wks reed in court yesterday ; New York City, knd county of .New Yojk, ss.—Geo. C. Bliss being first duly sworn, deposes and says as. follows: ' On or about tlie 20th of October,instant, there was published in U daily newspapef, print ed and published in tlie city of .New York, called Truth, whit purported to he a copy of a letter written and signed by Hon. J. AI Garfield, of Ohio, Republican candidate for President of the United States. On the 22d of October, instant, there ■was published in said paper called Truth, what purported to be, and was alleged in said paper to be’ a' fat smile of such letter, the original, of which was in said paper stated to be in possession of Truth, and In said paper,on said last mentioned day, there appeared an article of which the following Is a copy: “ LYING AST) STICKING TO IT. “The Republican National Committee yesterday held a .meeting to consider the 'rest way of appeasing the storm of popu lar indignation that Garfield’s infamous Chinese^ cheap labor letter * has aroused. Garlieiu lias denounced tlie letter as a forgery. He has lied and the Republican National Committee stick to the lie. That was the decision at which they arrived yesterday. OiTOiis question of veracity between Garfield’s word and Garfield’s letter, the pccrplo pf the United States will know how t6’decide. "'They will not be deceived by the persistent lying of the Rft- publican committee. Garfield’s own words in Garfield’s own writing confront Gar field’s lie. The Republican candidate for the presidency in his desperation has tried to iio himself ouf dT Uie difficulty that will swamp him. 'The Republican Gen eral Committee, while cursing his lolly in tlieir hearts, lie for h>m because his swamping is their utter destruction. Pay uo heed, voters, to what is said on one side or the other. Examine Garfield’s letter as it is laid before yoti to-day, and judge for yourselves.” - I further state that Ihave, in connection with others, caused an investigation to be made as to the authorship of said forged letter and said article, and as to the use which had been made of the same by pub lishers and proprietors of said newspaper, and have ascertained that said proprietors and managers have caused to be issued several hundred thousand copies of said newspaper, containing copies ofsaid forged letter and a large number of copies of said paper containing said article. I farther state that, after careful investi gation as to tlie authorship of said forged let.er and said article, I ain led to believe and do believe, and I therefore charee, that said letter was written and forged by a person named Kenward Philip, one of the editors' of, or writers for, said newspapef, and that having forged said letter lie wrote and caused to be published in said paper, called Truth, said article referring thereto, which is hereinbefore quoted; and I further state, upon information and belief, that the ar ticle so published reflecting upon the said Garfield, is a false, malicious and wicked libel, and that said article was intended to assert the genuineness of tho said forged and fraudulent letter, which saidf Philip knew to be forged and fraudulent. That subsequent to said publication in said Truth, or at some time, the pro prietor of said Truth, as I am informed and believe, entered into some agreement with the Democratic National Committee, or with some members thereof, by which It'was arranged that large-numbers ofsaid forged letter should be circulated, and to that end, since the denial of its authen ticity by said Garfield, have delivered or entrusted to said committee said forged letter for the purpose of having the same copied and photographed or lithrograplicd, and that in pursuance thereof the said committee have caused many hundred ttiousand copies of said forged letter to be circulated in various forms, both in the English and German languages. An affidavit follows by Jos. E. Payne, an expert in liandwriting, stating that the Morey letter is not in Garfield’s handwrit ing, but that it coincides In some particu lars with that of Philip. He declares that certain manuscripts signed Kenward Phil ip and K. Philip, submitted to him, and the Morey letter were written by one and the same person. A. F. Southworth, of Boston, and D. T. Ames, of New York, also experts, make corroborative affidavits. New York, October 28. —In the trial before Judge Davis to-day, .In regard to the alleged forged tetter of Garfield on Chinese labor, the prosecution demanded lie production of the original letter from which the photograohtc copy was made. Joseph Hart, one of the proprietors of tho paper which printed tlie original letter, said lie had the original letter, but de clined to produce it at the present time. His counsel said they, would produce tlie original when, they deemed the proper time had arrived. The court committed Hart for contempt. The further hearing of the case was postponed until commit ment papers had been made out. Counsel for Philip have decided to produce the original Morey letter in court this afternoon. The proceedings in the case attracted a large crowd of spectators. The charge upon which Philip Is arraign ed is malicious libel on General Garfield. Judge Davis occupied tlie bcncli, and there was a fall array of counsel on both sides. Assistant District Attorney Bell, for the people, called as first witness Colonel F. M.

Hart said he had not the original Morey letter with him? it was In tire possession or a friend, but be declined to give his name. Witness could not procure the letter, as his friend was out of town. Mr. Bell demanded tho name of the party to whom the letter had been deliv ered, but Mr. nart again relnsed to an swer. The court ordered him to answer, but he again, in a respectful lone, declined. Judge Davis ordered him committed tor contempt of court, and bo was banded over to the custody of Police Captain Walsh. . . Mr. nowe made a motion to purge Hart from contempt, saying that Hart was willing to produce the letter, bnt that lie wanted a guarantee that the letter should be returned to him. Howo explained l hat lie did not mean to say that the court would take the letter, but that it might nass into subordinate hands and be los,. Continuing, Howe said that if the letter was t'o remain in custody of Judge Davis r Hart was willing to produce it. Answering, Judge Davis said that the 'eller would remain in his custody. On motion Hart was allowed three l.oure to go with counsel, and procure the etter.

Judge Davis ruled that the evidence was premature, as no proof had beeu given' that the facsimile was a photograph copy, and'that the prisoner had not as yet been connected with it. A recess was then taken till 2.30 p. m. ... New. York, October 28.—Mr. Hart! came iuto court at seven minutes to three o’clock and tendered an apology for being late, saying that be had been delayed by an indictment in the State court for libel ou complaint of Marcus Ciferq Stanley. Ho then took, the stand. Haft produced the letter, and it was marked for identifi cation. ‘ Bell asked for the envelope and; Hart said be was told to bring the letter only, and that it would take him five hCiurs to get it. New York, October 28.—In the Philip libel case connsol for Hart liave pre pared a subpoena directed to James A. Garfield, commanding him to appear and testify at'the investigation this afternoon. The counsel claims that Garfield is at the Windsor Hotel, though not registered*. New Y ork, October 28.—At half-past two, on l lie reassembling of the court, Mr. Hart produced the original Morey letter, purporting to bav^ BCCn signed by Gen. Garfield, He failed ^ produce the euvel- epe, saying it was not called for in tho subpoena. He also said that Jie kept it for protection, as he was informed that an order for arrest had been grauted against him in a suit instituted by Marcus Cicero Stanley and George Wilkes. Judge Da vis told him that while he was a witness he would not be Interfered with, and he then promised to produce the envelope to-morrow morning at 10 o’clock. Col. A. F. Rockwell was called. He testified that be purchased a copy ot the Washington Gazette when ft first pub lished the/ac simile copy of the Morey letter and compared it with letters In his possession received from Garfield, and then tiiought ft a forgery. He communi cated with Gen. Garfield, and on a tele graphic request from Henry E. Knox, came to this city and submitted to Col. Bliss a dozen letters he had received from Garfield, and one was chosen to compare the exhibits and facsimile copies of the Morey letter. The letter was chosen by Bliss, but hd. didn’t know it was picked out because it resembled the letter of de nial from Garfield to Marshall Jewell, bnt thought it was > chosen because it was nearest to It in da’e. When shown tlie Morey letter he examined it closely, and didn’t think it was Garfield’s writing, though there was some resemblance. On cross-examination, lie stated that he was assistant quartermaster in tire army, but was detailed to take charge of na tional cemeteries; that liis present ap pointment was dad- to General Garfield s interest in him, he having beeu a class mate of his, and that he was greatly in debted to him. Albert Daggett, ex-sheriff of Kings county, New York, testified that he had known Fhilip for some years and know Ills handwriting. On looking at the man uscript copy of the article published in Truth, entitled “Lying ana sticking to it,” he said it was.in Philip's handwriting^ and'on comparing it with the Morfty let ter, he thought they were in the same handwriting. He was a strong. Republi can, and had large sums watered on Gar field’s election. James McDermott testi fied that he knew Philip well, was familiar with his handwriting, and on comparing the Morey letter with the exhibits, he be lieved them to be the same. He admitted having been indicted for felonious assault, but not convicted, and stated that while a reporter of the Brooklyn Journal, ho had been sued for $50,000 damages for libel. Charles Hoffman testified that he is em ployed by Sarony, and photographed tlie fac simile copies from the original, which was given Mr. Sarony by Mr. Hart. Daniel T. Ames, an expert, was called. He compared the fac simile copy with the exhibits written by Philip and with one of Garfield’s letters, and declared tho ng of the “t’s” and the general for- m of )oops, pen shades, general slope and scope were more characteristic of the writing of the exhibits than of Gar field’s letter. He stated that tlie writing In the exhibits and tho Morey lettor was the same. lie was cross-examined as to other trials in which he had been a wit- His cross-examination will be con tinued to-morrow lpotning. An adjourn ment has been taken uutil ten o’clock. Cleveland, October 20.—Garfield is still at home, in Mentor, and in answer to a telegraphic inquiry relative to the sub poena for him to appear in New York, re plied he had heard of no such document. New York, October 28.—Examination of Kenwatd Phllp, charged with a crimi nal libel upon Gen. Garfield, was resumed before Judge Davis in the Supremo Court this morning. There was a large crowd of spectators present. Tho envelope in which the Morey letter was contained was handed to Judge Davis, aud on motion of counsel Mr, Hail was declared purged of contempt. Assistant District Attorney Bell called Albert S. Southworth to the stand. He .testified that he was an expert in hand- . writing of fifteen years’ experience. He had compared the photographic and pho to-lithographic copies of the Morey letter with the Rockwell and Jewell letters, and !did not think they were In the Same hand writing. Also compared the Morey lettor . with exhibits marked A, B, C, D, etc^ (the exhibits on which warrant of arrest was obtained) and found a sufficiency of characteristics to enable him to form the opinion that they were in tho same liandwriting. In reply to a question of Bell, (after tho Interrogation bad been changed to meet the objections of the de- Tense) witness said: “My best, judgment i3 that the handwriting in the Morey letter and In the exhibits marked A to K is the Sa Cross-examinoii—Wituoss had come from Boston on a telegraphic request of Marshall Jewell; expected pay for his ser vices; made affidavit at tlie request or Messrs. Stoughton, Knox anil Davenport; •rave before them a synopsis of wlsat ho would testify to; never saw the original Morey letter until this morning; was ex amined fas a witness in the Whitaker case; had known Mr. Ames (the expert examined yesterday ) several yearn, and did not receive any communication/rora him in regard to tills matter. In tl(e n hun ker case he did not testify or state in.con- versation that it was impossible to give any judgment on photographic representa tions of handwriting. , In the Hesdra will case lie also testified as an expert, ne did not know that that Bell, case was decided against his testimony. On tlie Taylor will case he testified that the signature to the will was not James B. Taylor’s signature; did not know Gen. Garfield; did not know for whom ho will vote—may not vote again. The prosecution next called Win. E Hogan, of Troy, an expert in handwriting. Witness had examined tlie Morey letter, and photographic and photo-lithographic copies of ft together witii exhibits A. to K. and liis opinion was that the person who wrote the exhibits wrote tho Morey letter. The Morey letter was evidently the writ- iLg of a person imitating another s hand- introducing, however, strong charactcns- tics of his own. In exhibit A, in the signature of Kenward Phllp, tho K is cx- actly similar to “K” in “kept” in the Mo- rev letter. The witness fouud other simi larities in tho letters. He had examined the photo-lithographic copies of exhibits Nos* 1 and 2 and tlie originals thereof (Rockwell and Jewell letters), and ho de clared they were not in the same hand writing. He was cross-examined byMr. Brooke. Ho received a telegram from Governor Jewell yesterday to come here, and •*» be paid; did not know Gen. Garfield and was not interested In him any further than to give his vote. The witness was then sworn by Mr, Stoughton for the prosecution. The en velope produced this momiDg was Handed him anS he was asked if there had been any erasure on the stamp, and answered in the affirmative. Continuing, he said: “There la an erasure on the stamp in tlie date of the month. I cannot s»v what the original date was.

There are three stamps on the envelope in which no date can be made out—all dates seemingly be ing erased.’,’ outhwortli was then recalled bv Mr. Stouglitou. He was handed the Morey envelope and after examining it testified that the address on the envelope is not in the handwriting of the person who wrote the Rockwell and Jewell letters, but i closely resembles the writing of the per son who wrote, the exhibits marked A. to K. . - ' Allen M. Lee, a newspaper reporter, was examined by the prosecution. Was familiar with Pbilp’s handwriting; exbib- i ft A. to K-.were known to him; witness' was of the opinion that they were in Pliilp’s handwriting; had seen photo lithograph of the Morey letter and bd- lieved it to be in Phi Ip’s handwriting; thought so when lie first saw tlie copy ; Philip always had ahabit of spelling such words as “companies” and similar words with “ys”j instead of “ies”; in the Morey letter this mistake is made. At this stage of tbe case, Mr. Bell said that he would like an adjournment, as he had other witnesses to examine who were not present. He expected, he said, & wit ness from Lynn, Mass., who had not yet arrived, and that Mr. Payne, his other ex pert witness, was lying sick and could not attend. This was objected to by Mr. Brooke, and General l’ryor, also for the defense, said he thought it was due to bis side to allow him to produce proof of the genuineness of the letter. Mr. Stoughton shook his head, and General Pryor, continuing, said: “Ah, I well knew my friend would shake his head! It is not the purpose of the prose cution to allow us to proceed with our ev idence, so that it> will have its legitimate effect in the country.” (Applause.] Judge Davis—“Officers, put out those in the rear portion of the room.” This was promptly done, and Mr. Stoughton, arising, said that he knew now tho reason why tlie envelope had not been previously produced. The stamps on it were not genuine, and witnesses to prove that fact would bo called from Washing ton and from Lynn. Ho denied the im putation of General Pryor, saying that the prosecution was honestly conducted and would be speedily continued. Mr. Brooke replied, maintaining that if tiou. he had pnSof to offer to show tho genu ineness of the lettor, no adjournment should be granted, and he should be al lowed to present it. Tho pros- cution, ho continued, could procure their witnesses by telegraphing for them and examining them when they arrived. Mr. Brooke contended that the prosecution was conducted for public effect and not for the purpose of convicting or having held for trial the defendant, who, lie claimed, had waived an examination and demanded a speedy trial, which tho pros ecution would not allow. He was ready and anxious to disprove the charge of the falsity of the letter, and demanded, asjiis right, an opportunity of furnishing such proof without adjournment. This was objected to by Mr. Bell and Col. Bliss who asserted that they hr.d already tele graphed to Washington for witnesses and thought they' would be here by to-mor row, but the residence of one witness who lives in Massachusetts was not exactly known. ' ' Judge Davis—“Owing to national sig nificance I thought it my duty to sit as examining magistrate, and although it is not'usual for a justice in the Supreme Court to so use his authority, it is not without precedent. Chief Justice Mansfield, in a case similar to this, so sat, and committed the defendant after evi dence was admitted. If this letter was in fact written by Mr. Garfield, as an expres sion of the sentiments ho entertained on the subject of the letter, it was un worthy of him and should condemn him. There Is no possible doubt, I think, tn the minds of thinking men in this country that the idea with which this letter closes —that the treaty with a great power (so far as population is concerned, the largest on earth) should not be abrogated until the manufacturing and other corpo rations are conserved on tlie question of tlie labor’—simply means until they are supplied to tlieir satisfaction with the cheap labor of the Chi nese. Such a sentiment uttend by a presidential candidate would, of course, have a most serious effect; but if it bo not genuine, aud a forgery, every thinking man will not only admit bnt will at once entertain with pleasure the thought that the foigcr should be promptly and severely condemned. Now, under such circumstances, I feel it to be my duty to sit as examining magis trate, aud to issue my warrant—not for the purpose of subserving tho interests of any party. No approach to me has ever beeu made on that subject by any person connected with any party, and ft is not my intention so to conduct this case as to lead to any other than perfect aud abso lute truth. This application for adjourn ment is an ordinary one, and would be granted. It is in conformity with univer sal practice, and, besides, on the part of the prosecution, extra delays have been, occasioned by the non-production of tlie letter, for which the court was obliged to postpone the hearing in the first ilace something more than three lours, and then, by a resort to what must appear to every one a* a very strict con struction of language, the envelope was not forthcoming, and five hours were con sumed. These extra delays caused the loss of nearly half a day Though coun sel in this case are not blamcable for this, I am not willing to bo put in a false posi tion. I will give both sides every oppor tunity to present their evidence. If the prosecution arc not ready, the defenso can proceed, and give way when tho prosecu tion are ready. I will adjourn the case until two o’clock.” . New York, October 20.—When tho court reassembled at* two o’clock, Gen. Fryor and Mr. Brooke, of counsel for tho defense, entered, accompanied by Hon, Abram S. Hewitt, whoso presence gave rise to a report that he was to be called to the stand as a witness for the defense. Witness Hogan was recalled. Ho testi fied: “I have submitted the Morey en velope to a microscopic test, and have found an erasure. I also find that on tho stamp the figure 2 was . printed, while what I call a figure 1 is not printed, but is a longitudinal stroke. Tho stamp on the reverse also shows evidence of two erasures within the ring under tho word Morey.’ Cross-examined byMr. Broako.—“I ex amined tho envelope at the post-oflicc, in the presence of Mr. BIIib, Mr. Stouglitou, air. Gayfonl. Mr. Finn, and Mr. Knox. I don’t know who brought it there.” Judge Davis—“I entrusted it to Mr. stamped—it has been stamped twice.” WHAT THEY SAT AT LYJrar. : | Boston, October 29.—A meeting of U«o| Lynn manufacturers was belu last nightJ at which resolutions were adopted in re-| spouse to the statement of Mower Bros^ regarding the “Employers’ Union,*’ in| which they declare that tlie meetings of the manufacturers in January and Febru ary, 1878, were of an informal character,' with no president, secretary or permanent, officers, and at no time w as the terra “Em ployers’ Union” ever used or suggested.

Han cock'yesterday received several delega tions representing different political, mili tary and social organizations, among them a deputation of cloak makers from Brook lyn, Who, in their Rddrcs3 to Gen. Han cock, said: “We tamo hero'to-day to as sure you of onr united support on tho ap proaching elcctiou day. . We arc. qs solid as tlie solid South.” Gen. Hancock replied: “If the South is solid to-day it fe simply Solid in trying to get In harmony .witii Lbe rest of the Un ion. Wc shall find out liow solid it is af ter next Tuesday. II the Democratic party should succeed, ft will become naturally divided upon federal as well as local is sues, and its solidity in the South will he broken. The colored race will side with the several factions,each of which will sec that their colored adherents suffer no ob struction In voting. In this way one of the hoped for results of the war will ho fully attained. ’•Much of tlieprospcritynow enjoyed by tlie North is due to purchases' or Suutbern merchants who, last season, bought goods to an extent unparalleled since the war.. This was due to the great cotton crop of the. period and to a desire of Southern people to claim affiliation with the North and purchase its man-ifkctured products, instead of sending to i foreign countries for them, thereby creating business for for eign lines of steamships. We havo now an opportunity to settle all questions aris ing but of the late strife by an exercise of charity, good will and brotherly feeling, which it is to the interest of tbe Northern people not to disregard.” The largest delegation of the day was composed of members • of the Bellevue Modica! College. Their chairman, Dr. Montgomery, said they had called cnGen. Hancock to assure him that they were wide-awake as to the issues to bo decided at tbe polls next Tuesday and, beiug thus wide-awake, would cast their votes for him.. . “Iam very glad to see, from your pres ence here,” responded the General, “yon take an interest in the defense of onr institutions, the welfare of the country, ami in the preservation ot constitutional government. Yonr best efforts should bo irected toward maintaining the purity of tlie ballot-box. In doingso, yon will take tbe best steps towards conserving your liberties. It is therefore of the highest importance to see if you cannot compel the office-holders now In power to relin quish tl|eir scats. If yon do not unseat them now, you may never be able to do so. If successful in your attempt, an ex amination of the * books of the several government departments woull necessa rily follow, aud if the present incumbents should have been true to their trusts, the country may at a future period reinstate them; “When we examine the books of an es tablishment wc naturally do not nse the bookkeepers who made the entries, but employ experts. Tlm'confse should be adopted in connection with government accounts. ‘In ordinary periods, when ex penses are comparatively light, people may not think % change of officials neces sary; but In a great war such as we liave bad, since which time one party only has held office, and has bail control of mil-, lions of money, it is well to have an ex amination of the books and of public roperty, to ascertain if we really have what we are represented to have.
