*slier circumstances, by winch he convey
ed all his property in such manner as was
designed to deprive his wife of all interest
in his estate, in the event of his death, and
to flisifiberit any children he might have by
this Marriage. His estate, as the times then
were, was probably worth $160,000. 1
was also informed, that he had entered in
to a contract for the purchase of an estate
of the late Jno Colgin, for $20,000, which
both hiriaself and Hall were exceedingly
antionsito be relieved from, upon the ground
that it was an exorbitant price. Upon in
- quising into all the facts and circumstances
attendant upon the execution of these va
rioue deeds, and which . are given somewhat
- in detail in my answer in the case of Blake
ly vs. Tyler, I came to the conclusion that 1
they might be set aside; or, that by a pro
per course of proceeding. Lightfoot might
b e repossessed of his estate, but, that to do
54104 , 61 rd require a long course of contro
versy in the cowls, and the taking of great
-numbers of depositions. I was then offer•
ed by Lightfoot and Hall their joint bond
for $5,000; if I would undertake the task
ad 3 act in court anti out of court as the
Attorney and agent of Lightfoot. I pro
posed to do so for the reasons set forth in
, my answer fur a less sum. I was the Ex
ecutor of my father, who had been the Ex
ecutor of Lightfoot's father, and who was
indebted to Lightfoot in a balance which
was believed to amount to about $3,500.
artreed to undertake the task which they
ha - slved upon me for that sum, to
wt h ich theilissented, and . for which :hey
executed their bond. I took measures at
once to place Lightfoot in posses,ion of his
property, which were en irely successful.
But those inea,sures were immediately
lowed by the -institution of separate s oils,
as I anticipated: is', to.recover the $60,-
000 as stipulated damages-2d, art action
of detiou.e for the whole personality—and
3d, actions of ejectment to recover the real
estates, which were many. Mr Co'gin al
so, I think about the same tine brouutit
his suit in Chancery to enforce his con
tract. Here, then, was b fire me occu
pation for an ordinary`life time, and te - ith
mg saved me from the labor of years, but
the death of Lightfute, which occurred
tAe-ftw months alter. In Cie interim
he
was almost daily at my house, a king and
receiving counsel and advice. I was call
ed upon to write his last will, into which,
at my suggestion, he introduced a clause
by which an end was put to the suits re
ferred to, with the exception o! Colgin's
suit, which I believe, was some years af
terwards compromised. The fact is, that
the whole arrangement enured to the ben
efit of my father's estate, to whose credi
tors 1 had paid no inconsiderable sums out
of my own very limited resources. I was
perfectly ready, upon the death of Light..
toot, to have adjusted the whole matter
with Mr Christian, the Executor of Light
f rot, upon liberal terms, as may fairly be
inferred from the answer of the executor;
but in consequence of objections made to
qie bond, by those interested in the estate
upon what I believed to be untenable
grounds, I brought suit, with the view to
challenge inquiry in the Supetior Court of.
Charles City, and recovered a verdict and
judgment, upon wkich no execution was
issued for a year and a day, and which no
execution was ever intended to be isued.—
An original Chancery suit, in the nature
of a bill of discovery was Liought, to set
aside the judgment and for other purpo
res, which has been pending ever since,
until those, interested under Mr Blakely,
and some others, agreed upon a fair corn
promise, the obligations of which 1 have
discharged, while with others, who stood
to a fiduciary character, I have settled in
full, with a view to put an end to a contro•
versy, which seemed to be almost intermi
nable, The probable duration of Light
foot's suits, had he lived, may t e conjectu
red from the length of this single suit, and
any man may decide whether my propo
sed comFtensption was unreasonable. But,
be that as it may, it was in the place of a
voluntary offer made to me of a larger sum
a: my own office, and in the course of my
practice, without any single word or sug
gestion from myself, other than I have sta
ted, the voluntary tender of a fee, not in
the form of money, but in that of a bond
made by a person who c!esired to be my
client—a person whose capacity to enter
into such a bond was endorsed by his late
guardian and brother-in-law Mr Blakely,
who deemed his “idiot ward"—(l. use Mr
Botts's language without meaning t,) adopt
it)—capable of making a rood conveyance
for his whole estate. I have never been
able to conceive the ground on which
Chancellor Taylor declared the bond void.
That decree was pronounced by that
Judge, many years ago, when he was in
the decline of life, and Mier he had be,.n
visited by several paralysis, and his d..eis
ion was . - reTer enforced, As to Mr Lei, 2 ,h's
note of argument, which Mr Buttssate
as part of the Record, it states the bond
be fraudulentas any transaction is in law,!
against law, although not a panic e of
• moral taint may be connected with it. Al
bond at a horse race or card table, would
probably fall under this rule, and although
fairly won and fairly executed, would be
avoided in a Court of Chancery as fraudu
lent. Hsaven, however, forbid that any
man should be assailed for moral obliqui
ty, because of the arguments of counsel.
The difficulty which it seemed to me 1 had
to encounter in the case, was the statute
of Virginia, as it then was, liMiting an,41 7
torney's fee to 15 shillings, and whictile•
dared all bonds taken by an Attorney for
certain suits in Court to be void, if taken
for a larger amount, and yet, no Attorney
of any grade would have assumed the iesa
possibilities of such an undertaking as that
•
with Lightfoot, for a sum falling much short,
if at ill, of that for which I undertook.
!knee this case has bet n in the courts, it

In the mean time I have. been elected, by

afterwards Gov, rnor of Virginia more than

those of his asEoeiates and allies, if, in vio
I ation of my oa•h to support the Constitu.'
lion, I had given my approval to a Bank of
the United States. I leave this matter
now for him and them to make the most of
it that they can. All I have t say to Mr
Botts, in cunclusien, is, that should he think
proper to advert to the subject again, his
better way will be to give the public the
entire record, particularly my own an
swer, the answer of Lightfoot's executor,
and the Commissioner Baker's special
statement. made at my recotest. He nad
better exttiiiii the record than swear to

be drawn into no controversy with him,nor

As to other statements made by Mr
Botts in the publieatinu in the Whig, and
which arraign the correctness of my polit
ical course, I shall hand over, most proha

Canal Cummissione►s.
Among other matters In hich the County
Convention that meets on the 30th of Au-
gust will have to attend to, will he the
appointment of delegates to attend at a;
state Convention on the 51h of Septem
ber, for the purpose of nominating candr-I
dates for Canal Commissioners. We'hope
our democratic friends in the city and
country will bear this matter in mind, and
come to the Convention, prepared to act in
such a manner on the question' as will
be most advantageous to the state. If per
8 )r).3 prejudices or the bad feelings of
cliques or factions are permitted to control
their conduct in the matter, there is great
reason to fear that it nay resttlt not onl y
in many evils to the democratic party, but
be of incalculable injury to the public
works. Sirce the democrats redeemed the
state from the misrule of federalism in 1838,
a system of gradual reform has been intro
duced on the public impr )vements, which
annually effected a reduction in expendi
tures, and by prudence and good manage•
meat it is at length clearly shown that the
main line is not only capab:e to defray its
expenses, but trill, if the system under
which it has been managed for some years
past, be followed up, render a handsome
revenue to the state.
In selecting candidates for Commission - I
ers, it is necessary that we should :under
stand this fact and nominate men who are
not onto capahla and honest, but such as I I
are also known to be firm ft lends of the
system of reform that has thrown the pub
lie works open to competition, and that has
oken up the monopolies that have here
[dote grasped all the benefits arising from
our last improvements.

and (hit the inliey of the people was htv

purpose of rewarding the partizans and Ow

remembran?e of this should admonish us
that it is of the utmost importance to the in
terests of the state, that the public works
kept free from the corruptions
and extravagance that would follow the e
lection of federal C immi , sioners, and to
prevent such an evil, it is necessary that in
making the democratic nominations every
thing should be forgotten but the compe
tency of the candidates and their disposi
tion to foster and advance the interests of
the improvements. If the party should he
divided on this question, the public works
will pass into the hands of federalists,—we
may expect to see the same shameless sys
tem of extravagance and. corruption [wee

period they beld.power previous to their

they cannot get the public enlisted to their p tty

A Hermit.
Tl.e N. Y. Post gives an account of an
old man who lives on Staten Island, who
has for many years past devoted himselfto
the rigid and solitary l:fe of a hermit. He
has constructed a rude hut in the middle of
a forest belonging to Ald. Cebra, where he
passes both day and night, refusing to hold
communication with his fellow-men, and
I;ving wholly upon cold water. Ha was
formerly a sailor, and the only reason he
can give for his curious delusion is, that
he was very wild and wicked in his youth,
and that God, in order to punish him, has
now commanded him to live upon water
f , r the space of forty days. Fourteen of
these days of penance have alreaey passed,
yet he persists in adhet ing to his simple
diet. lle is somewhat pale and emaciated
we are told, hut quite vigorous and active.
During the last summer, he took the same
notion into his head, but after eleven days
fasting, found out that his punishmerit was
remitted for a time. It is again laid up
nu htm, and he thinks he will bo able to en
dure it to the amid!
Ornlecticut Stale Pridon.—Th e num

of S during Ow year. Of the whole num
ber, 19 are females. About one quarter
are persons of color, without education,
while colored population of the State is to
the white as Ito 36. In how snicking a
manner, says the Report, does this fact
prove the connection between knowledge
and virtue ignorance and crime. The pro
fits of the Prison last year were $6.069 2:5.

Great Disaster at Sea!—The Boston
Times says:—Capt Blanchard, of brig Tur
ner of Portland, before reported lost, on
her passage to Madeira, arrived in this ci
ty yesterday, in brig Caroline, from Gib.,
ratter. On the 16th of February, in lat 34
45, lon 30, during a heavy gale, a Pea
broke over the stern and washed overboard
the man at the wheel, which caused the
vessel to broach to, and throw her on her
beam ends. The toremast and bowsprit
went by the board, and the mainrnist was
cut away, which she righted, full of wa
ter. The crew could not get out but one
barrel of bread, which was all wet, aid a
few pieces of pork, which, with the fish
they caught, enabled them to sustain life
on the wreck forty-fire days, when they
were taken off bv the French brig La Fu
ret, from Senegal, and landed at Gibral.-
During the last eight days that they
were on the wreck they had not a drop of
water. They had saved none, but they
had caught from the rain enough to last
them about three weeks, allowing each
man a pint a day. The crew were all
vett, hut suffered severely fr)rn the expo•
sure and pi icalions to which they were
subjected.
By the following from the Carlisle
Statesman, is will he seen that the letter
giving an account of a r 0.7 in Carlisle, is a

"By a letter in the Spirit of the Times
of Monday last, we are informed that a
great row had occurred between the Infan•
try Company and the Students, and that
the officers of the Infantry are in Jail, &c.
—This is all a vile hoax which has been
played off upon the "Times" by some
black hearted villian of this place. We
should not . have noticed this affair, if it
were not for the reason that we have the
honor of holding a Lieutenants commission
in the Infantry, and consider. that the ins
suit extends to us, as well as to the Cap.
tain and privates of the company."
