A public meeting was held in Columbia,
Monday evening, March IS, at the Union
Hall of the colored citizens, to take into
consideration the speech of w. B. Nash, de-
livered on the 18th inst. s. B. Thompson
was elected to the chair At 8 o'clock, the
meeting was called to order by the Chair
man, and the proceedings were opened with
prayer by E. Thompson. At the conclusion
of the prayer, the Chairman stated the OF
ject of the meeting. On motion, commit
tee OF five was appointed to draft resolu-
tons to offer to the meeting. The Chair ap-
pointed the following gentlemen: j. r.
Trice, Chairman; A. Williams, D. Forest,

After being absent few minutes, they
offered the following resolutions, which were
unanimously adopted, amidst great cheers !:
Resolred. That we, the people OF Colum-
Bis and Richland District, do hereby de-
nounce the speech delivered on the 18th inst.
by W. B. Nash-it not being the true senti-
ments of the people at large.
Resolped, That, in all the opinion of the
freed people of this District, w. B. Nash is
not true OF loyal man, but traitor to his
people and the general government.
Re-,Eced, That we desire to live in harmo-
n, with the people among which we are
thrown, but do not desire to censure any
portion of the military bill recently passed
by Congress.
The Charlotte Guardian corrcets US as to
our statement in relation to the meeting held
in that place by the colored people. The
GuardiGn says that it does not know that
Schenck was influenced by rebel leaden-
that it does not know that he had to retire
with precipitation from the meeting that
it does not know of any rebel leaders in that
community, &c. It says, all our folks down

heath of Senator Riddle.

The death of Hon. George Read Riddle,
United States Senator from this State, occurred
at Washington on last Friday afternoon. after
confinement to his bed of about week or ten
d4ys. He had been laboring under severe pain
and affection from rheumatism for about one
wear. But the disease changed into another
of pulmonic character, of which he died as
stated. Senator Riddle was born at New Cas-
tie, in 1917, and was educated at Delaware
College, where he studied engineering. For
several years lie pursued this profession, and
was engaged in locating and constructing rail-
roads and canals in Delaware and the adjoining
States, the last Gf which was the portion OF the
Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad at Iarper's Fer
~. About 1912, says the Gazette he evinoed
a disposition to enter the political arena, and
urged by a number of personal friends, prOpO-
sed to publish democratic newspaper in the
city of Baltimore, the first number of which
was issued but not receiving the prompt sup
port he was led to expect, the effort ceased
with that issue. Subsequently he was engaged
as tie chief engineer under Major Trimble on
the Philadelphia, Wilmington & Baltimore
Railroad. Mr.. Riddle abandoned the pursuit,
however, and studied law, being admitted to
the bar in 1918; and being soon after appoint
ed Deputy Attorney General for New Castle
county, he served in that position until 1850,
when he became one Of the commissioners ap-
pointed by the Governor of Delaware to retrace
that,celebrated boundary, Mason and Dix
on's line" The same year he was nominated
by the Democratic party as a candidate for
Congress, and was elected over Geo. B. Rod
ney, ESQ, the Wing candidate, by majority
OF ll2 votes. In 1852 he was re-nominated by
his party and elected over Hon. John W.
Houston, by majority of 81 votes. Mr..
Riddle was again nominated in 1854, but was
defeated, Mr. Cullen being elecred by the
Know Nothing Order which then swept all
before it in the Northern States He was also
i delegate from Delaware in the three Demo
cratic Conventions that nominated James K.
Polk, Lewis Cass and James Buchanan for the
Presidency. In 1864 he was chosen United
States Senator from Delaware tor the unex-
pired term Of James \. Bayard, and served
uncil hi, deo>ase. Mr.. Riddle was fifty years
OF age lie was possessed Of fine social quail
ties and was highly respected as citizen.

Town Improvements.

Mr.. EDITOR During the whole winter
much has been said relative to opening new
Streets and Town Improvements generally
The subject has been thoroughly discussed in
every store, shop and street corner. Indeed
but little else seems TO have been thought of
or talked OF. A meeting of the townspeople
was finally held, and it was unanimously deter
mined that more streets, roads and avenues
were necessary tor the business interests ofthe
town. Application was at once made to the
Legislature for authority TO open such streets
as was deemed necessary, and most an excel
lent Act was passed granting the privilege to
open just such roads and avenues as were most
needed. Five Commissioners were appointed
IN the Act, to assess damages and perform such
other duties as seemed necessary which they
did faithfully, promptly and satisfactory. 1t
now becomes necessary for the Levy Court to
accept these roads and avenues, aud make ap-
preparation for the award of Commissioners be-
fore they can be opened and put in proper con-
ditiOn for public tFayel. These roads are alb
solutely necessary for the business interests of
the town; and the avenue from the Junction
to the town is Indispensable for easy and safe
access fof persons living west of the town, now
that the Railroad occupies the only road lead
ing in that direction. Some doubts are ex-
pressed as to the Levy Court making appro-
priation for this avenue, while it is also iptima-
ted the kenton people will oppose it In the
The citizens of Smyrna should, therefore, be
vlgilant, and when the Levy Court convenes
this month bring such pressure to bear as
will secure the required appropriation. When
the new board of Town Commissioners meet
would respectfully suggest they consult the act

MARYLAND Affairs.

The Denton Union gives the following con-
cerning the storm in that vicinity: The
springs have risen so high in our town that the
water has been running out at the top of wells
The mill dam of Mr.. w. q. HOrsey was broken.
Mr. Zacharias mill was considerably injured,
the dam breaking near it and washing away
the foundation. We also learn that Wilkin-
son mill dam broke, as did also the dam of
the Fowling Greek mill. At fredericksburg the
water rose to such an extent that the bridge
was only prevented from being swept away by
placing wood and railroad ties upon it, and
it even flooded several of the houses.-At
Greensborough a similar scene was witnessed,
and travel was impeded near the bridge The
stream below Watt creek, between this place
and Potter Landing, was SO swollen that pas
sage through it was impossible. Mr.. VIM. \.
Sisk, who had started for Denton, was swept
down the stream By the current, and had to
cut his horse loose from his carriage, leaving it
i'll the stream.
ARREST OF SUPPOSED MURDERERS-
gave last week the particulars of the murder Of
MIR. JAS. Tarr at Ilillsborough, Caroline co.
On Friday of last week, Officer Bramble, of
East New Market, arrested JAS. Ii. Smith and
Daniel Murphy, claiming to be residents OF
Farm ingtOn, Del, on suspicion OF their being
concerned i'll the murder. Squire Rea COM
mitted them to the Cambridge Jail for a further
hearing. .-Ipteliigencer.
The Easton Ga.ette hasthe following on the
same subject: On Tuesday last, Sheriff Lar
rimore, Of this county, arrested a man by the
name Of VIM. Ceance, at Wye Landing, on
suspicion OF being the murderer He was
confined in the EastOn Jail until the next morn
ing, when he was carried to Denton where he
now remains in Jail. He is to have hearing
in a few days. The feeling in Caroline county
against this man, is said to be very strong, as
he is looked upon as a desperate character and
his statements have been very contradictory.
FIRE IN VIENNA-On Friday of last week,
the store Of MesSrs. Turner and Phillips was
destroyed by fire. 1t is supposed to he the
work of an incendiary. The goods were par
italy insured.-Cdn.brjdge Mteuigeener.
The steeple of the Episcopal Church at vi
emma was blown down on Friday night of last
week.-Cdm InteHigencer.
We see by the Washington correspondent
to the Baltimore Sun, that Chas. Ii. Gibson,
of Easton, has been nominated by the President,
as collector of Internal Revenue for the first
District Of Maryland, Eastern Shore. His ap-
pOintment has not yet been confirmed by the
Senate.
We learn that the first case in this Judicial
Circuit, under the Civil Rights Bill, came off
in the late term Of the Caroline Court, when
negroes testified on an equal footing with

entitled An act i'll relation to the town of
Smyrna" and exercise all the authority with
out fear or favor delegated to them in that act.
They seem to have ample power to make all
the improvements necessary without restric-
ton even to ornamenting the town by planting
shade trees before every mans door or putting
board up at every corner with tie name Of
the street on it and without being held respon-
sible to any one. They seem to have authori.
ty to borrow money and spend it as they see
proper without being accountable to any one.
Sec. 3 reads as follows:
And be I further enacted, That the Com
mlssloners elected pursuant to the provisions
of this act shall be, and they are hereby, crea-
ted body polite and cooperate in law, and
the said commissioners and their successors
shall be able and capable to sue and be sued,
plead and be implicated, in all courts in this
State, by the cooperate name of The Com
missioners of the town of Smyrna" and may
purchase, take hold and enjoy land, tenements
or hereditaments in fee simple or otherwise,
and also goods, chattles, rights and credits,
and may alien, grant, devise and dispose of the
same as they may deem proper, and may do all
other things which body polite and cOrpo-
rate may lawfully do to carry out and effect the
object and purpose of this act"
! Is there not here clearly the right to borrow
money in amount as they may choose? and is
there any provision anywhere in the act that
directs or provides how it shall be expended
| think not.
Section Is reads as follows: "And be it fur.
ther enacted, That the commissioners, or a
majority of them, shall have authority to EN-.
ploy the money in the treasury of the town
for the general Improvement and benefit and
ornament Of said town, as they may deem ad-
visable."
Now it seems to me with such authority
there ought to be no delay or excuse OH tn,
part of the commissioners for making all tht
/ Improvements required Come, Mr.. Com
mssioners, go to work and do something; thcr,
is nothing to prevent you except perhaps
lack of energy and perseverance or too higl
regard for old fogyism. Which is it?

THE PEACH CRoP-The prospect for a large
crop OF peaches at this time in this neighbor-
hOod.is reported as being very fattering. The
long continued cold weather which has had the
effect Of keeping the sap down and buds from
expanding has been of great advantage and
should they not be injured by late trosts the
crop bids fair to equal that of 1854
We understand the Station Agents, along
the Del. Railroad, have been instructed to ob
tain estimates Of the probable number of bas-
kets Of peaches to be shipped from each Sta
ton with view to making ample arrange
ments for their transportation And in this
connection we would state it is their intention
we are informed not to ship fruit from SMYRNA
Station, on account of the too uncertain condi-
ton Of their track. llfruit, therefore, which
would be shipped from this Station will have
to go to the junction Tor shipment If this be
the case it is u matter of much importance tc
