Chairman, Mr.. Proctor Knott, says
that there is no hurry about it.
There is no reason why it should be
brought forward. There are other
matters of more Importance, and so
on. There has seldom or never been
a Congress which had so much dirty
linen on its hands.
In the matter of Public business
there is little to write about at pres
ent, Deficiency bills have chiefly
occupied the attention of Congress
this week. The Government Print
ing Office has been pretty much at
stand-still for want of funds. The
printing for the extra session used

to change the system of Public print

several schemes to get the printing

but none of them can succeed.
Apropos of our Navy, l noticed
during a rambling debate on the
Notifications bill in the Senate the
other day some interesting state

in relation to four iron clads now
partly built. A board of survey had
declared that il one of these should
be completed in accordance with the
plans followed thus far, her armor
would sink her deck two feet under
water. 1t had been discovered that,
if 81 per cent of the armor provided
for another should be withheld, her
deck would even then sink four and
a half inches under water. Not one
of these iron cladS would float if
completed in any manner which
would render its armor sufficient
means of defense. They had been
constructed thus far upon the con-
tractors own plans, and at the con-
tractors own price, and millions had
been expended upon them.

Grand Ledge knights of
Honor.

The Grand Lodge X. of Fl. of
West Virginia met in this place on
Tuesday last and adjourned on Wed
nesday to meet at Fairmont on the
third Tuesday of March, 1881. The
Grand Dictator being seriously ILL.,,
the Chair was occupied by j. A.
Ewing, Esq, of Moundsville, AS
sistant Dictator. The following
members were in attendance, viz: j.
T. Head, Keyser; n. Hagar and j.
B. Mari, Warrington; &. II. Dieters,
Judge r.. III. Cochran and Samuel ID.

The reports of the officers showed
the order was growing very rapidly
in this State, and but two members
have died, their widows and orphans
being promptly paid the $4,000 each,
which is the prominent feature of
the brotherhood, and one that en-
titles it to rank among the foremost
of beneficial brotherhoods. 1t is
grand and noble to be able amid the
fearful and sometimes unequal con-
test of life to properly care for wife
and children, but how much grand
er, nobler and solacing it is to know
that there is sure provision for
their aid-at least. sufficient to keep
the wolf from the door and give the
little ones few years to grow older
and stronger for life's duties-when
the husband and father and prOvider
is called hence.
The following officers were elected
for the ensuing year, viz: j. A. Ew-
ing, G.. d.; Geo. w. Feidt, v. d.;
G.. B. Gibbons, A. D.; G. III. Dieters,

Citizens Meeting
AT THE COURTHOUSE ON THE SUB.

JECT OF MANUFACTURES.
Pursuant to public notice quite a
large number of the citizens of the
town and county assembled at the
courthouse on Wednesday, March
II, 1880, with the view to the estab.
lishment of a joint stock manufac-
turing company.
The meeting was called to order
by the President, j. III. Gettinger,
Esq, who in a short, but pertinent
address, explained its object.
Upon a call for a report Of the
committee appointed to solicit sub
scriptions, it was found that S.. 200
had already been subscribed. The
committee was continued and urged
to secure as much stock as possible
by next meeting.
After some discussion upon the
question of what particular enter
prise could most safely and profita-
bly, be undertaken, it was resolved
that committee Of FIVE, of which
the President should be chairman,
should be appointed, whose duty it
should be to procure all the inf0rnla-
tion necessary to determine said
question, and also report what
amount of capital would probably be
required to prosecute either OF the
different branches of manufactures
coming under their consideration.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Jacob
Miller, III. N. Deatrick, Joseph III.
Shaffer and A. j. Thomas.
On motion it was
Resolued, That the Hon. &C. j..
Faulkner be requested to prepare q
circular, to be presented at the next
meeting, descriptive of Martinsburg
and vicinity, setting forth its many
advantages as manufacturing GEN.
ter, the object being the dissemina-
tion of information among capital
lists and manufacturers abroad.
On motion an adjournment was
taken until Tuesday, March 80, at
2 O'Clock P. NJ, at the courthouse.

Shippensburg Chronicle. March IL.
Martinsburg is the terminus OF
the Cumberland Valley Railroad
aud Is to some extent a railroad
centre. part of the shops of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad be-
ing located there, furnishing en-
ployment 10 several hundred men.
1t contains about 6 900 inhabitants,
and there are a number Of fine
public buildings, such as the Court
House and the Public School. AT
the Court House can be found le-
gal papers and documents which
bear date back to the colonial days,
while the names OF Patrick Henry
and Thomas Jefferson appear on
some but a few years later, go
that an honorable antiquity how
ers around the records of the court
and gives an indelible stamp OF
interest to the reverently curious
mind. A few elegant private res
licences indicate the taste and
wealth of the favorites of fortune
in the community. 1t Is an emf
nently social and hospitable place,
the people are cordial and friend
Iy, though not obtrusive with any
one who has the slightest claims
to respectability. 1t does not pre-
sent an animated appearance, bat
has rather o dull look. This, how
ever, Is a popularity of most
towns of its size, and does not de-
tract from other advantages 1t
possesses. Many people of culture
and refinement have made this
place their residence, prominent
among whom may be mentioned
Hon. Charles j. Faulkner, who
was Minister to France under
President Buchanan, and is living
In dIgnified retirement, highly es-
teemed for his sterling qualities OF
mind and heart. A ride through
the town and out to the country
with Charles j. Faulkner, Jr., and
George Feidt. both gentlemen of
most agreeable address, members
of the bar, and full of information,
afforded an opportunity OF seeing
q number OF the improvements,
notably among which were the
Water Works. which are carried

the State in disgust. The Republi-
cans who bulldoze that bailiwick
have counted him out. He will
henceforth reside in Boston.
The Iowa Senate has passed a joint
resolution to the effect that no per-
son in that State shall manufacture
or sell any intoxicating liquor, in.
Guiding ale, wine and beer. This is
one stroke in advance of any temper

The Connecticut people are likely

The Mobile Register commends the
action of Judge Semmes, of that city,
in directing that colored men be no
longer excluded from the jury lists.
His attention had been called to the
fact by colored citizens, and his or
der was given in advance of the de-
cisions of the Supreme Court.
The New York World achieves
the remarkable conclusion that the
presidential conflict will be between
Grant and Bayard. 1t presents a
tolerably fair argument why Mr..
Bayard should be nominated by the
Democrats, but none at all why Re-
publicans must be sacrificed at the
shrine of Grant.
Mr.. Kirk Halves, one of the men
who contributed heavily to Republi-
can campaign funds in Illinois, said
the other night at banquet in Chi
cago that "if Grant was again elect
ed it would be the death blow to re-
publicanism in America" The COM
pany applauded him, and gentlemen
representing many millions of dol
lars offered to back up their opinions
with drafts upon their bank accounts
in behalf of the anti-third term
movement.

of Louisiana would feel justly proud
of such a representative from the
further fact that his abilities, his

1.-THE mail line between Shreve-
port and the mouth of Red River has
become perfect nuisance; there is no
telling anything about its departure
or arrival. This is a great inconve-

medied at once"
So says the De Soto Democrat, and
the Louisiana DEMOCRAT says that
the portion of it between Red River
Landing and Natchitoches, under the
management of Col. McGinnis, never
was in a better plight, comes and
goes regularly, and makes most
punctual time; good teams, excel
lent and experienced drivers, and
never fails to bring the mail, and on
time to the minute. In fact we
speak knowingly when we state that
this portion of the route can not be
bettered, and if the evils exist com
planned of, it must surely be between
Natchitoches and Shreveport, ant
measures should at once be inaugu
rated to procure the forfeiture of tina
portion of the contract and place th
service in the hands Of men who viii
faithfully discharge their duties"
