STILL SHORT.

1t is understood that the amount
necessary TO start the Manufacture
ing Company falls short by several
thousand dollars. We have glanced
at the subscription papers, and the
strange fact is presented that this
enterprise is the most largely pat
ronized by men of small means. The
theory Of this is s. mat they take
small RISKS in the hope of making a
little money, whilst the really we'll
TODD man will not risk anything for
the fear of losing a dollar. Any
man, who has the welfare of the
community at heart, who desires to
prosper himself, and who really
wishes to have the full faith and
confidence of the people, ought not
decline to aid in this enterprise
Let every man make up his mind to
do his duty in this and other indus
trial projects.

Senator Camden FavOrs Gen
Logan.

When asked who he preferred
among the Republicans to fill the
Vice Presidency. Senator Camden re-
piled:
"Logan. Since we are to have a
Republican successor, / am heartily
for Logan / think you will be safe
in saying that he will be the choice OF
not only majority of the Republi-
can Senators, but also Of the Demo
Gratis 1t is pretty generally conced-
ed that he is entitled to il, having
been the choice of the party for that
position at the last election. He
came within twelve hundred votes of
defeating Mr.. Hendricks, and think
his party will recognize the justice of
now placing him in the position for
which he came so near being the
choice Of the people Besides, life is
uncertain, and who knows but that
such calamity as the Presidents
death may be in store for the Nation I?
In that event / would rather see Gen.
eral Logan in the Presidential chair
than any other Republican Senator
who would likely be chosen Vice
President"
"How about Mr.. Edmunds ?"
"He is long ways from being my
choice for the office He is a good
man, and would make an able Presi-
dent of the Senate. His disposition,
however, would be against him, and
he would not be popular He is a
cold, cynical, selfish man, and I do
not believe his choice would give sat
isfaction to the mass of the people. y

WE beg to disabuse the mind of
the editor of the Berkeley Springs
Ne,cs of any intention to trouble him
with our sores. His own are posi-
bly, sufficient without additions. We
have no desire to add to any of his
affections. We presumed him to be
honest and truthful in his serious
charges against Messrs. Smith and
Dawson, and we frankly asserted
that snch charges should be investi-
gated by the Grand Jury Of Nor
gan. If the Nevs was simple toying
with its readers and exchanges, and
playing football with the characters
of these gentlemen for amnse-
mcnt's sake, then we have been mis-
led into an error and we apologize.
Will the editor Of the Neacs state if
said charges were intended as the
truth, or were they fabrications,
which? The editor oil the Mercury
seems despondingly sad that the
charges were noticed but really
our pristine innocence in newspaper
capering led us to express ourself
seriously. If the Ne,os declines to
assert the truthfulness of the char
ges, then VIC congratulate Messrs.
Smith and Dawson on their inno-
cence and the fun they have had in
seeing what whoppers the boys could
get off, and we now firmly believe
that if Ananias had been the editor
OF a local paper, he would not have
been struck dead for lying but for
amusement's sake the old sore would
be still running.
