The Richmond Wig, in referring to tho dai.
tardly assault upon the freedom Of the press
committed Mt Alexandria last week, says:
What are we coming to? The editor of Il news
paper Is first the victim Of q cowardly assault in
his own house from hired blGvous; an effort by "a
high official" to purchase his whole edition at an
extra price for destruction Is tgon tried next his
printer Is threatened and bulldOzed until he de.
cines to print the paper and HGuly, when he has
had his Journal printed in noighborlng city, his
edition is selzcd aud thrown into the river This
takes place in America, in this, the one
hundred and third year of American freedom
aud Independence, ut ana near Alexandria, in
the old Commonwealth OF virginia, almost within
the shadow Of the National Capitol What has
the press of Virginia to say to all this? What has
the press OF America 70 say? Occurring here in
Virginia the outrage Is the more atrocious by rea-
son Of the declaration Of our "Bill Of Rights now
the FIRST article Of our Constitution, THAT the free.
dom of the press Is one oi the great bulwalks of
liberty, and can never be restrained but by dcspotc
governments and any citizen may speak, write
and publish his sentiments on NIL subjects, being
responsible for the abuse Of that liberty"
In this fragrant invnsiun OF the liberty of the
press too, IL is moro than insinuutGd that high
officer of the city government Of Alexandria is
deeply implicated.

THE CLO1HfNG ESTABLISHMENT OF A. SAKS
co, HANDSOMELY REMODELLED.
On the judciCus enterprise Of our mer.
chants depends very largely the prosperity
OF the city. The mere lavish expenditure
OF money Is by no means an evidence OF
thrift, and, strange to say, not unfrequentiy
receives the misnomer OF enterprise. IL
Is the careful but vigorous outlay OF means
and the proper usbandin2 OF the sane
that brings lis reward and tends 10 healthy
financial condition. II Il pleasure 70 note
the onward strides OF an energetic business
firm whose honesty, integrity, and reputa-
ton iol fair dealing. rebound alike TO them
selves and the credit OF the community in
which they reside.
The success which has attended them du-
ring the four years in which they bave been
doing business here Is an incontesti1!e
evidence OF the fact that Messrs. A. Saks d
Co. enjoy the esteem and goodwill Of the
community. But they seem never content
to let well enough alone. Their establish
ment, No. 1913 Main street, which has been
from time to time since they first came to
Richmond tastefuly fitted up, has lately un-

as it now stands, with the remodeling and
rtfurnishing, is one OF the hauds0mest and

The chief feature Of the enterprise is the
addition OF the cutting department, where
the custom orders are filed. This had for
merly been done at the North, and it afford
ed subject OF freprOacb 20 the firm that they
were sending away and depriylng so many
OF our tailors and SeamstreSses Of work that
they so much needed. The addition Of this

room, and to this end the recent improve
ments were made, taking in the second
story IN addition to the ground and base
ment floors. A handsome staircase six feet
wide, with base ef eight feet. has been
erected at the centre rear end Of the

with graceful bronze gas-tiX.ures, which are
said to be fine miniature representations Ol

All the Instructions on the first floor have
