ported from the Naval Committee his bill to

An amendment was adopted which f0rbils

The charges against the Hon. c. J. Faulk-
ner, preferred in communication to US frcm
Q well-known and prominent citizen of an
other county, do not appear to be sufficiently
substantiated, and if they were, it would up-
pear more in keeping that they should first
appear in apaper in the county in which the
writer resides. Further than this, i. is
probable, should Mr.. f. refrain from con-
tributiug his direct Influence against the
political interests of Jefferson county, that he
will get the support of our people for the

therefore, be willing to prejudice his inter-
