pledging the faith of the Government
for the redemption of the national obi
cation in coin at maturity, and to make
provision at the earliest practical Pc
Rod for the redemption of United
States currency in coin, was passed by
both Houses. Speaker Colfax resigned
his position in the House, and q reso-
luton thanking him for his course as
presiding officer was unanimously adopt
ed. Mr.. Pomeroy, of New York, was
chosen as his successor A number of
important measures were acted upon.
The suffrage amendment to the Con-
stitution of the United States, after many
trials, got through Congress safely last
week. As finally agreed upon by Com
mittee of Conference, it reads as follows:
Article XIV. The right of the citizens

denied or abridged by the United States,
or by any state, on account of race, color,
Or previous condition of servitude.
Scctton2. The Congress shall have pow

Considerations phich Recommend this En-
terprise::
/. viii circulate in the town at ,east
SEQ, 200 to 100000.
2. 1t will be the nucleus of other manu-
featuring enterprises.
,. Will employ from 30 to 40 men.
4. Considerably increase the popula-
ton of the town.
). If successfully organized, will increase
the general value of property at least 10
per cent.
6. Will be the starting point in making
a manufacturing town of Elkton.
!. The patronage of five paper mills will
be large item in the revenue of the Co.
s. All the mills in the vicinity will afford
chine repairing. The Cotton, Wooden,
Iron, Rolling, and Grist Mills, surrounding
the town, will be certain sources of valua-
bic revenue, and from which the proposed
shops will receive patronage.
8. Its great convenience to farmers in the
vicinity, in the purchase of Machines man
ufactured at home: in affording facilities
for repairing all kinds of machines, and in
saving farmers the loss of time and money,
in harvest and other busy seasons, which
so often occurs in the breaking of harvest
and other machinery, and is worth at least
$50, the cost Of one share, to have such
shops near them.
10. The low figure at which the shares
have been fixed, and that payable in install
ments every two months from the date of
the subscription of the entire amount of
stock. puts it within the reach of all farm
ers and others, however limited in means

March I'd, 1869.
Mr.. Editor In looking over your
valuable paper, find that the Com
missioners are making considerable i'm
provcments in the way of bridges &c,
here and there through the county
Wonder if they have forgotten that we
petitoned for school-house, some two
years ago? Or wonder if they think
we don't want any?
Now Mr. Editor, we have some
twenty-five families in this neighbor-
hood, which could form school of at
least fifty scholars. But in conse-
quence of not having school-house as
we should have, we are compelled to
send those fifty children, or what are
able to go, to Charleston which is about
four and a half miles distant We
hope our Commissioners will not think,
because we are almost surrounded by
water and railroads, that we are entire
" cut off from the United States. We
also hope they will remember that we
have some pretty heavy tax payers
among us, and take some step toward
building us school-house.

The Card of Mr.. Becker is published
below, in which he seeks to place himself,
saloon, &c, &C., right before the world
He complains that TIE lVhig has done him
4 grevious wrong. by an ''unfounded pub
lication,' and in the conclusion of his arti-
Gle we are charged with having injured him
in his ''bGlsiness and character" Now we
deny that the publication referred to was
" unfounded,' and appeal to the card Of
Mr.. Becker for the truth of that statement.
AS to the last charge, we appeal to his re-
ceipts, and to public opinion to bear us
out, that we have not injured the man in
character, or the house i'll a pecuniary point.
In word, we rest the vindcation of our
former publication on the following card Of
Mr.. Becker. Let the public read both. and
we are willing to abide their decision. That
card is confirmation strong rs proof from
Holy Writ, that what was published for
merly in our paper, was substantially true:
To the Editor Of The Cecil Wig:
The great injustice you have done inno-
cent persons by the indiscreet and unbound
ed publication of what YOU term rob
berry in my house, induces me to request
that you will publish this denial. No per
son was robbed in my saloon. at the time
you speak of. nor at any time since / have
kept it. No women frequent my saloon.
nor are there any such characters about me
as you charge. keep drinking saloon,
it is true and exert my utmost to have it
as orderly as any other in the town. My
wife and two or three of her friends, wives
of other citizens of the town. were seated
in my sitting room, in the evening i'll ques-
ton, where my brother asked permission to
take few friends Of his, among whom was
Captain lIendrickson, into the room. to cs-
cape the noise of the saloon, and enjoy q
glass of beer. While they were quietly
seated. disturbance arose in the saloon
The company ran down stairs. when Capt.
IIentlrickson discovered that his pocket
book was missing. A girl who lives with
Mr.. Lieberman, and who was in the sitting
room at the time, discovered it on the floor,
and restored it to its owner. The noise
made about the loss the summons of the
Constable and subsequent search, were all
unnecessary. and not at Capt. Hendrick-
son request. This is the whole fact from
which you have manufactured your injuri-
Gus statement about Ilells Kitchen and its
girls. Hoping you will publish it, and
thereby do justice to one whom you have
injured in his business and character, as
well as the character of his family, am,
