Some time since the Enterprss. as we
supposed. through misunderstanding
published an article that was very damag.
ing to the character Of Mr.. NJ. g. DOH
er,y, who had acted as Financial Secre-
tary of Knickerbocker Engine Co. No. s.
charging that, among other things, he had
appropriated moneys belonging to the
Company. The ensuing morning a COM
mit,ee. appointed by the Company to ex-
anime the books, reported them to be all
correct. and found Doherty innocent Of
the charge preferred in the columns Of the
Enterprise. We published the statement Of
that committee. and asked the Enterprise
to retract, which it. by its silence. refused
to do. We believe Doherty's only crime
to be p~overty-and having at times been
somewhat in that line, we feel disposed to
do him simple justice. The following let
ter received by H. C. McDougall, Secre.
rary of the Virginia Fire Department. has
been handed US with a request TO publish,
which request we cheerfully comply with;
at the same time, assure the public that

on me, I must say that il took me by sur
prise. He said something about the CON-
pany passing resolutions rejecting on my
character. An I have to say is this, if the
company passed any resolutions concern

credit. as you know full well they can

faithfully as I did for the miserable pit.

officer Of that company, my books are

defy any member to say that l ever receiv.
ed a dollar from them that I did not give
proper credit. I might have made a mis-
take in my figures; if so. am confident
the mistakes would not amount to more
than two or three dollars. I think the
company ought to have first acquainted
me with the facts, as 1 am always ready
and willing to make amends for any mis-
take Internationally committed. As for
Mr.. Gillespie trying to prosecute me and
injuring nv character, I assure you it is
through selfish motives, which I will ex-
plain You remember Of my working for
him, on those circulars, for two days; a
few days after, wanting some money, l
borrowed $40 Of him. which I considered
a fair remuneration for my work. Pro-
badly he thinks I ought to work for him
for nothing. if he does he is very much
mistaken. II is true, I owe a few dollars
there, TO gentlemen whom I consider my
friends. but I intend to pay them all be-
fore the first of the month. As for owing
the company anything. ! am not aware of
it; but if they convince me that such is
the case I am ready and anxious TO pay II.
I am also ready to settle any disputes or
misunderstanding that may arise concern
ing me, and if necessary will go to Virginia
for that purpose, and show the members
Of the company that I am right, and dare
maintain my rights and character as to
honesty. Yours, VI. 6. DoHERrr.
