HONEST OPINION.
MR. H. K.STHVKNH:?
Dkak Sir?Thin is to show that my son
was taken sick In January, l*n, with
Hcmtuln, which came out in large ho re*
and ulcers mi his leg and hip. His leg was
swelled more than twice it* naturalslse.
He had several doctorsof high standing in
their profession?two from Boston and
three front Charlestown- without getting*
bit better. He was obliged to lie wherever
he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we hail given up
all hopes of his living we were told to try
Vegetlne, the great blood remedy : and he
had taken it hut a short time before we
oould tan* a great change. The sores run so
bad that we had-to change the cloths four
or five times a day. Kill', he was getting
belter; fur he could move his limbs and
help himself a little. He was soon able to
alt up In bed, and, by constant use of Vvgt.
tine, It has rami him. He has a lame leg,
which he will probably have for life;boi
we all honestly believe II we had used
Vegetlne before we bad bothered with
those doctors. It wonld have saved the taw '
ot his leg. and restored It to natural health, i
I hope all those troubled with hsrofnla
will reed this test unon v of me and my son,
who Unow well aud able to speak for htm*
eelt. CATHERINE MAUONLY,

Circuit Court?Judge Melvin,
The Court met at the usual hour yesrday
morning. wi
In the case of the Stale vs. Charles th
ury, the prisoner entered a plea of
lilty, and was sentenced to tw years in Gi
e penitentiary. he
In the case of the State vs. James Gor- lo
)h, the prisoner entered a plea of guilty, in
id the sentence was reserved, the State
ling the prisoner as a witness in another re
ise.
The case of the State vs. Edward
urns was put on trial before the follow re
ig jury: M. F. Way man, F. J. Dillon, tj,
t H. Phillips, Jerry Clemens, John
laird, Ben en i Feay, William Porter, OI
times C.Saunders. W. Wilson, R.Chew, _,j
r., Henry Michaels, W.H.Woods. The
ury returned a verdict of guilty and the
risoner was sentenced to two years in j0
ae penitentiary. "
The Court adjourned until this mornig
at 9 o'clock.
Facts Aaqut Silvkr Currkncy.? x
ery little of the new ' subsidiary silver
)ins" have yet been put in circulation *1
i Wheeling. In the larger cities where
Fncle Sam's sub-treasuries are located li
lere has been -'a rush'' tor silver, and )r
leptoplcol those cities have doubtless ^
'jtainedan ample supply of the bran p
ew glittering ''tokens." The govern- l<
lent commenced paying la.-t Thursday
'ith $10,000,000 of coin pieces in the j,
aults, and a capacity of running $3,- h
[K),000 a month. In a month or two, if *
n
ecessary, tbut capacity could almost be t|
oubled. The amount of silvercoin and p
ullion in the hands of *
je government is over $20,- ^
DO.OOO, and payments during the rush p
ave been about a million a day. It is T
itiniateu that the rush will be kept up ^
>r several days longer. Only those w
ho present assorted lractional notes at p
10 treasury or sub-treasuiies are entitled ''
> receive silver in exchange lor it In
Washington, we learn, the banks are it
aying one per ceDt premium lor "fraconal
currency," to enable them to suply
their customers with silver. The l(
Wheeling banko are not expected to lol*
>w this example, and it is well they do
ot, becauso we are in greater danger, as
is, of a scarcity of small change, paper r<
r silver, until the latter begins to per- ?
icate ail the channels of trade. 5
The License Question.?lhw Lock u
1 Council.?Last night the First and S1
econd Branches of Council failed to
f<
ome to any agreement on the license 0
nest ion. The Second Branch ha* a ina- tl
rity in favor of the reduction of license 0
om last year's rate, and the First g(
Iranch has a decided majority J
1 favor of making the license
n
ix the same inii jwr ?> j
was lust. Thus tlie matt< r stands. r
loth Branches seem determined to stand lj
y their "colors,and Council adjourned j'
ist night without taking any action. ]j
"he result is thut, as all licenses expire
n the lir.-t of May, the saloon-keepers ''
rill have to close up their places of husi- M
ess at that time. We understand c
is the intention of those Jpersons to do *
>, us they claim the tax is too high and ^
aoy are unable to make any money out i]
t their business. In case the saloon ^
eeper "stick" the city will have to make ^
ome arrangement to supply the defiiencv
in the way of revenue, as lrom t
bis source last year the city t
eceivcd about $35,(XX). As this amount
ad been calculated upon by the Fi- a
ance Committee to help supply the f
loney to be used by the city, it will be t
lecessary to levy an additional tax on
eal estate to supply the deficiency, un- *
iiss tho matter is compromised. To see 8
Vheeling with all her saloons closed >0
/ill be something wondertul, yet it will 1
ccur next Tuesday.

will take place and the day 'ill be j t
ne of general rejoicing among the mein- J 1

enerally. Wheeling has not been j d
ehind in this matter, and there will be j h
grand demonstration in this city to-day. ' ^
Ve published the programme and route ^
f procession yesterday. The parade j v
romises to be an imposing atl'air, at least 1 11

fb the Hon. President and Members o

Wheeling W. 1 a.:
Looking with painful apprehension 01
he effort now being put forth to reduci
he price of license for retailing liquors
nd also for discriminating in favor o
nine and beer houses as against othei
rinking places; and having our approlensions
especially quickened at the evi
enl favor with which such efforts are re
arded in certain influential quarters
ho undersigned citizens of Wheeling
rould respectfully, but earnestly protest
gainst any modification of the licensi
se in favor of the liquor interests. Th<
rholo system of licensed traffic In intox
. atiog liquors is abhorent to the moral
ense of a largo proportion of tke comrunity;
and while you may not, undei
listing laws feel youraelves at liberty tc
tterly refuse the license in question, yel
istice to the enlightened public sectiicnt,as
well as financial prosperity of tbt
ity, requires that you should so granl
Hem as to do the least possible harm
'his cannot be done, either by cheapenlg
the retail license as a whole, or disriminating
in favor of wine and beer
ouses. We therefore most earnestly
rotest and pray your honorable body
gainst any such reduction or discrimiation.
We would also protest against
le renewal of the license of any salooneeper
who has violated the law in sellig
liquor on the Sabbath, telling to miors,
and to habitual drunkards.

? At an adjourned meeting of this hy i
Branch, held last night, the following tan
members were present, Mr. Blair occu- ^
pying the chair:
Messrs. Brice, Butterlield, Baird, ,
I Stone, Schambra, Wallace, Carnahan,
i Roberts, Egerter, Hotlman, Wilson and Pre
Me Adams. has
i The minutes of the last meeting were
? read uDd approved.
i Ponding other business. Dr. Baird fI
asked that the City Solicitor, who was olu'
present, be requested to deliver his opin- ^0l
i ion in regard to tiie authority that the
I Council may have in relation to remov- he
I ing the Washington Hall ruins. his
The request being made by the Chair, tljn
the solicitor advised in substance that the
J city should act carefully in the promises cltd
- and before deciding that the ruins were a J
> nuisance and should be abated, it ought 0f
to have tho authority of the Court, or it ,
might be decided by the grand jury, 0
which has authority to indict parties for ^
keeping a public nuisance. There are unc
three classes ot nuisances which the p0j
city would be justified in
promptly abating. These are in cases ot ^re
tire, health and obstructing the public (.
highways. But as the party who is ef- tj10
? 'ected by the abatement has recourse to
1 law, it would be the safest and surest *
r plan, where there is not absolute cer Ha
tainty that a nuisance exists, to a?k the 0fr
t opinion of the court, or refer it to the , ,
grand jury. Then the city is entirely
' tree fr ?m all danger from damages. The f
' solicitor ulso read an extract from a legal i.( |
1 work to sustain his views. The report j y
was ordered spread on the minutes.
! Mr. Bricu moved that the resolution in the
| relation to purchasing u horse for the At- j$m
lanlic lire engine, which was laid on the y
1 table at the last meeting of this Branch,
be taken from the table.
On the ayes and noes being called the i I
5 motion was lost. j f

dies against any reduction or discrimina- ; '
Hon in granting licenses to ordinaries

3 committee of conference to consider and ant
f adjust the differences existing between ! jud
' the two Branches of the Council con- Jos

of Mr. Curren was taken from the table les1
and read, and after a long discussion the prr
' action of the Second Branch authorizing
' the payment of his bill was concurred in.
Mr. Hall offered a motion that the
i order to have Eighteenth street paved be, w&
c and is hereby rescinded. In explana- 1 Wlt;
, tion of the notion Mr. Hall stated his ^
f reason was the city was greatly in debt,
r that she could not spare the money at f?r
present, besides the street was not an im- to
- portant outlet or thoroughfare.
Mr. McAdams opposed the motion ;
> very ardently and earnestly and appeal- j ceri
5 ed to the members not to rescind thejajc
t order, at this time, particularly as his colJ
league Mr Dunning was absent, who i J
5 if present, would throw gome weight in nits
favor.
The motion, alter some further discus- j SuI
sion. was carried by ayes and nays. I mei
" Afler an hour's absence, the commit- ; wa,
> tee on conference returned and reported

.Second Branch report. j wei
The Second Branch then informed the g;ri
First Branch that it did not accede to

i by Mr. Wallace: Some little contusion
j ensued, when Mr. W. withdrew his me- ' "]
j tion. Mr. Wallace here stated that he ^

j difference of opinion prevailing as to the mai
I exact status of the conference report and _lw
