THESE GINS were sold the past sea son for the first time. They are made under Mr. Gullett's personal su pervision, who never-allows one tobe sont from his works, until it has been Itally tested, and made to gin perfectly in every respect. This mode or testing is very important to the purchaser, as* he does not run the risk of receiving and setting up a Gin to find it, on trial, to be imperfect. The IMPROVED GIN differs materi ally from the Steel Brush Gin formerly, sold by ua, inasmuch as the Steel Brush has three brushes, while th ?new Gin has but one. We guarantee every Gin to be of very light draft, to thoroughly clean the seed, and make a superior sample. Besides, ; it is simple in its construction, easily ad justed and gins very last. We respectfully refer tn all those Who have used the Improved Gin the past winter.

BY A BOY. I cannot pick up a newspaper with out " Advice to Boys" stares me in the tace. Old. men write it, I s'pose. Nobody else is capable of giving ad vioe to boys ; of course not ! They know all about us, they do, 'cause they've been there. Advice is a good thing to have, no doubt, and no one should be without it; but a feller dont want to be crammed with it all the time, to the exclusion of ali other diet. Now, old men need advice occa sionally ; but in looking through the papers I don't sj?e as they get it. So I thought that I would just write a little advice to old men, myself, ii I am ntif, presuming too much (us Aunt Chloe says), arid I presume that I am. Io the first place, you './:<$ ph ap* ought to get over telling how much smarter boys were when you were young than they are now. You be lieve it yourselves, of connu:, .cause you've told it so often, but we boy* cant see it. We have a notion that boys are pretty much the world over, (except some that are giris,) and one generation of them dcnt'l^y over anotier generation to an alarming extent. Only let you tell it, au,d you counj out-run, out-juuij-, out-wrestle -azj? out-anytb1ng-else the rising genera"-"1 ?ion of to-day when '.rou was a boy. Grand.-ia.ther, who has the gout and half a dozen diffident kinds of rheu matism,'is always saying that. I .heard him singing I would 1 were a boy again." I would he were ; too ;. if ? couldn't beat him running, and flop him ou ?;.? back, side hold, I don't want a cent. , I would not g? so far as to say parents obey your children, but I ! would suggest to fathers that they give us a fearing occasionally^on matters in which we are the '?hes mc^t interested. Don't make us go and slide down hill when we want to skate, and try to make preachers of us when we would much prefer to run a saw mil!. This is figurative but I guess you know what I mean by it'. After giving ns boys sage advice about our conduct and how to be have, you old codgers ought to be careful how you get to relating your boyish scrapes to each other and laughing over them before we are out of ear shot. The other day grand father read me a long lecture about the right of property, temperance and Sabbath-breaking. That very night, an old crony of his Came to visit hinij and they had a glass of punch together. They thought I was asleep on the sofa, and the way they run on about t ie fun they had when they were boys togeth er. They told' ali about robbing Lyon's melon patch: and it turned out it was on Sun day night, loa i When I went to bed they were tak [ ing their third glass of punch, and I don't know how many they had after that. I know grandfather's rheuma tism was a great deal worse the next day, and he complained a great deal about his liver. Old men ought to be very careful about taking too much punch* I have noticed old men hate to give up that they can't stand so much as they used to, or as younger men can. They get mad if a fell r like me hints that they can't. We've all got "o play out, some day, and when he feel.- he's losing his grip, why not comedown gracefully and acknowl edge the cum ? Kow, in the above retuarks, I don't mean ??ny. disrespect. ? I like old mci in their p.ace, but I don't, want so much of j their advice. Give the boys a chance. : ... ... )){fl?!ticD of a Darling. .

On this cartoon, also, equally r yolting for its impiety and its ins lenee, it were a waste of ?words to d late.

It can only recoil .upon the pa ty and the paper which stoop to ecu rility and blasphemy to stir up haj in the souls of brethren. Nor do the efforto of the artist, in the same direction, end here. Tri evil inspiration, which seems to ris into a demoniac possession , is ex bib ted in a third picture, in the same it s,ue of the same paper, entitled " Rt mian Politics, Anything to Bat Grant," which caricatures Irish Cati olics and priests, to whom Greeley j represented as offering a Land of tel lowship, while an indignant Amer can school-boy, in the back-grounc is clenching his hands in anger at th sight.

I think my latter will plainly show, not only thai I am not responsible for the issue of these bonds, but that it was thro?gh my care and positive re fusal to seal, that several -millions more, perhaps, have not been, added to the debt of the State. I have the honor to be, very re spectfully, Ac, F.L.C?BDOZO, / Secretary of State of South Carolina. SECE^TARY STATE'S OFFICE, COLUMBIA, S. C., Aug. 6,1872. Messrs. C. I;. Melton end J . T. Cor bin, Attorneys'?nd Counsellors at Law. . GENTLEMEN' Having been abie to retain your valuable services to show cause why a peremptory mandamus should not be issued by his Honor Judge S, W.* Melton, on Wednesday next, August 7, to compel me to seal conversion bonds, I desire to submit a few reasons why I think such ninan damns should not be issued. In November, 1870,1 begun to sus pect that the conversion Bonds that had been" sealed by me were not be ing used for the purpose for wliicli they were intended, viz: in exchange' for any of the other various nomU th it had been issued, or certificate of stock, wliivh were t be cancelled as soon as exchanged, and kept in the Treasury, as evidence of the conver sion, bonds issued in tueir stead. I then endeavored Lo learn from the Treasurer, the pui ?>Qse?? for which" so many conversion " boudj? were de clared to be ueevlkl. Fie replied that the finances of ?Uw.*.:-t:?:e vm^under thc control of a Financial Board, con sisting of the Governcr, Treasurer ana Attorney-Geperal; nd that it was not my prov i nee br right to know their action, ex?epr so far' aa I could learn them from the public reports they might make through the Treasu rer and Financial Agent; and that .he thought it was simply my dijty to seal as many bonds as they required.. I then comraunicaied with the At torney-G?n?ral, reorienting from him a. written opinion as to whether! had the power to require from the Finan cial Board a knowledge qi their trans actions, before I should take thp re sponsibility of sealingapy movejjonds. >he Attorney-General gave the opin ion that my "duty was .'imply mjvis tericd; that I bad no right to know the transactions of the Financial Board ; and that it was my duty to seal as mrniy bonds .as the "Treasurer, instructed by the financial Boartfe requested; that the Finapcial BoartT had the absolute apo! exclusive con trol of the issue, and sale or hypothe cation of bonds,' and the disburse ment of the proceeds bf Buch salee or hypothecations. Though I believe this opjn'on tobe according tb the letter pf the law, it did not entirely satisfy me, or con vince me, that I had no responsibility in the matter, and I therefore deter mined to use my utmoet exertions to learn whether my suspicions, as to what I 4eemed to be the miaapplica? tipp pf conversion bonds, were cor rect or not. Puring the leg'slatiye ses ioq of 1870-71, e. la^wtia enacfej to cre ate what is kpown as the ?Sterling; fupeled debt" pf South Carolina, and a 'board of five officers, called the " Sterling Fund Board," waa author ized to manage the negotiation of these bonds, which board consisted of the Financial Board referred to, viz : the Governor, Attorney-General and Treasurer, with the addition of the Comptroller-General and myself. I then felt in a better position to re move or oomfirm my suspicions with regard to. the use peing made of the conversion boh de, and determined, tp use my opportunity to the utmost. . This loan, aa those who are acquaiat I ed with the 1 iw ara .aware, j^.aa.tp i consist pf J?.pQO.OOO ofliiQflds, vhich w?rei.to? be negotiated in Landon, and the proceeds of the sale used in the fmrcuase of tour other bonds at a ower price in New York, and thus prove a great saving to the >ta<te. This was on? of the" reasons given to the Legislature to secure th? pas sage of the MIK , ".' ' .In accbr'dince witji this Jaw, I-seal, ed.$3,5GnO;000 of these bonds d>ine the slimmer of 1871.

The Treasurer informed rae that they, the "Sterling Fund*Board," had the authority to vise tlie proceeds ? of the sa)e of these bon'Mo payday existing public debt of thc State. I fqrther learned that the existing pub lic debt would probably be very large, 1 per/taps tho erUire amount of the loan ! I $6,000,000. -This statement aston-! isbed me beyond measure. I imrae-1 ! diately infor?ed the Treasurer ?hat i ! nothing should be done with tire st?r-1 ling loan bonds except at a Mi nice":- ' in-g caljed^ by. .^P . ^re^denVoiJha Board thro?gh me, fte SeerotaVy. '?? I was determined to prevent, if possi ble, ?hat I conceived to be a divei i sion- of the bonds to a purpo?t]| entire ly different from what, was intended bytthe law. * On inquiry from the Treairer, hy what method it was intend edito apply the sterling Joan bonds tc '.cn a pur-; j-pose. ? was told by him that; he pro I posedn issuing sufficient conversion j bonds tocover not only all othjbrbonds and ?tooks that had'ever been issued, but also the " sterling loan- bonds," and then simply- .place them in tile Treasury, and report that they had been converted by the holders. The conversion bonds could thep te hypothecated. ior loans bf?the Fi nancial Board, independently of the Sterling Fund Bortrd,-:a8 titty (the Financial Board) claimed that they had a right to* do, uiid?r th?^i?n per mitting them' to hypothecate &ty bonds 'in the Treasury',1, or in the hands of the Financial Agent, wh^re these: bonds Were, and fte moheys'thus ob tained useflj tQ pay off" ?ll debts hith erto authorized by law. And' thus, instead, of the sterling l?an' ponds,be ing sold in London at a higher price than they could bring in New York,'* and the proceeds of the sale, applied to the purchase of our other bonds here, they would, have been simply exchanged for conversion bonds, which conversion bonds would have been hypothecated tor loans. ?nd then for feited and sold, and the moneys thus obtained applied to the payment of all debts hitherto authorized by- law ; and they (the sterling loan-'bond?) would thus have been an addition to an alleged debt of between $15,000, 000 and $16,000,000. i i It perhaps would nat be amiss here to state that the Treasurer, or Finan cial Board, .wno had posaeaionof the sterling loan bonds, amounting to $6.000,000, meant to hypothecate t hese bonds even as late as last March, without the knowledge ot the Stel ling Fund Board, as such, for loaiis, and Was only prevented from so do ing by the timely repeal of the Act ' -and cancellation of the, bonds loy au thority of the Legislature. Frofh November, 1870, to this pe riod, .(August, 1871,) I'sealed, r?nder the advip? ?^eu. by the "Attorney Genera], sufficient conversion bonds for converting the one minion of sev en per ceut. relief of the Treasury i bonds, and $700,000. of, the Land Commission bonds, as the Treasurer i positively informed me that lie desired 1 he ui for this purpose only.' I was coolly informed by the Treas urer, last September, that these saine " relief of the Treasury bonds" and " Laud Commission bonds," for which I had sealed conversion bonds for the < purpose of exchange, and which were i so exchanged, had never been canceled, but had been re-issued hom theTrea- i sury, and are now either qypotheea- < ted for-loan's or ^Wci^ and sold. i f.JXkp.. Gi>y.pff^- fi^t?si^i^oV ' me y that these were facts within "his ?wn~ | certain knowledge,' especially with | regard to the '! relief of the Treasu- | ry'bone's.'! " During the month of October, 1871, the Treasurer requested me to seal a i small amount of bonds, for the ex- i press purpose, as he said, of saving a j 1 -an of between three and four mill- i ions of bonds, which had been hy- i potbecated, and would certainly be I sold at a sacrifice, if more collaterals < were not put up to save them I at < first refused to'dp so. reminding the ? Treasurer that the saline reason was i aliener} several times before, and that j I did not feel "satisfied of the correct- < ness of his statement. He then re quested me to accompany him and j the,Governor to New York, and sat- J i.-=iy myaelf, by conferring with the i Financial Agent, of the necessity that i existed for the sealing of thpje bonds, j for the purpose of preventing a sacri- . fice of' those hypothecated. Th" , Treasurer requested me to take my i seal along with me, BO that no t?:rie be lost. I had previously consulted i with the Attorney-Gen eral* cn thc ] lawfulness of tjklng my Veal io'Kcw j Tor]*, anil- trie Governor on the pro- . pr??ty and necessity of so doing. The ? Attorn ey-General assured me it was.' ( perfectly leg?l, and the Governor, . that it was necessary. I took the | seal with me very reluctantly, be^ lieving I: would j>e in a'b'ett'er posi- ; .tiqn'to ipsist upon knowing the truth' - of'wHa't I hap] sp lorig suspected. The ( Treasurer also informed rpe. that the ( Sterling Fpntr Bbara, of which I was ; a member and Secretary, would meet ' in New York and take some definite i action in regard-to the negotiation of i the sterling lund bpncjs^ This last statement determined me to proceed to New York. < went, < ana upon the representation there i made, ?ealed $250,000 of bonds. You - may imagine my surprise when I saw ' this amount of bonds, thc.coaling of i which had been performed by me up- i on the urgent representation that i they were absolutely essential, as ad- i ditional collaterals, . to prevent the sacrifice of several millions, handed ' back to the Trcasv.r?r fej th.e. yin?n- ' | "cial Agept, after *h'?y tore 'sealed, as' i fo???gfiU?necessary for that purpose ; and then the Governor informed the ' Treasurer that he might use thenviii i any mann?r he pleased !

Ihavenots aleda,s\Rglehop4 ? ainpe, ftquefo repaateulv requested to dp so both oefore apd" after thApas sage of the Validating Act, whioh contains an especial olause requiring i nv to seal for purposes of conversion only, thereby implying that the pre vious U8e,of tho conversion bonds, in hypothecating them for loans, was il legal, and which the Validating Act was supposed to legalize. v t ;\\\ The Treaaure? ?tfRn exhibit in lty$Mk\ wK which chowed that all my *U8pioiori8 with, regard tb the use be'ihg made of the conversion bonds were correct, Since that exhibit I have positively refused to.t col a, aili- j gieiio.nd, telling the Treasurer that I Ead now positive knowledge from hie ?publishecf report that he'had used more than $6,000,000 of conversion bonds fpr purposes 0/ hypothecation, and which I believe' to be forfeited and sold. ; that I considered this whole amount, which had been sealed by rne under the most positive assurance that they were being used solely for .the purpose of COB version, misapplied. The Tre surer now assures me that he desires conversion bonds 'for the purposes of exchange only, but I have received similar assurances several times before, and they have not been verified by subsequent facts; andi have no authority to insist upon see ing the bonds canceled that.are ta ken in the . Treasury in lieu of the conversion bonds issued. ' The Treasu rer resents this as questioning his ve racity and integrity. The Treasurer has also inform?d me .that thjs $182,000 of bonds is on ly the first installment of $1,700,000 thal he desires sealed. If. this man damus, therefore, is granted, I will be compelled to seal that amount at least, and perhapsan indefinite amount more. I hold that I have already sealed sufficient conversion bond.s for all le gitimate-purposes, viz: in exchange for other bonds. I believe their hy pothecation to be illegal, and that if the Treasurer or Financial.Board hy pothecated them, he or they are per sonally responsible for the amount so misapplied ; and that,, it is certainly not my duty'to seal any more,-with the positive facts in my possession which the Treasurer's report of' last November shows. . It will be seen from that report to the Legislature, page 469 of the re ports and resolutions 1871-72, that the public bonded debt is stated as $15.851,327.35. Of this amount there are $7,191,700 of conversion bonds. Only $1,034,302.35 of this amount have Been used for the legitimate pur poses of the Act, viz :. conversion. As will be seen, by reference to page 471, the enormous balance pf $6,151,397. 75.iAYe heep, I claim, fraudulently und illegally used;. The relators in this application for mandamus to compel me to seal, whu claim to Huffer great pecuniarv loss by my refusal tb seal, and whothreat Bn to hold me peisonally responsible tor damages, should hold the Treasu rer or Financial Board Responsible. I have already sealed conversion bonds fer the purpose of . converting the bonds which they now desire to con cert, and which have been certainly mee before converted, and perhaps two or three times. It the, construction placed upon this Act by the Financial,, Board be >\ correct, viz : that they had a right to Issue cony.ersion bonds without ' ex ^anciug^.tneiu, far. the other bonds, as , they nave clone to the extent of more than $6,000,000, arid, thus increase the debt of the State by so much, the A.ct is unconstitutional. The Constitution, (Art. IX, See. 7.) requires three distinct conditions in the passage of all laws contracting jubfic debts, viz: First, that it be passed by the vote of two-thirds of the members of each branch of the [jetterai Assembly; second, thatthese l'otes be recorded by ye;is and nap Dn the journals 0!' each Jlouse re spectively : iraq, tfurq, that every such law shall levy a tax annually nifficietrt. to pay the annual interest ){ such debt. It will be seen, by reference to the journals, that the Act was not passed Dy the required two-thirds vote, aor luve the yeas and ftayis been called HIL] recorded-upon the journals ; and it will be" seen, hy reference to the ?vet itself, that it has no section re 1 ni ring the annual levy of a ta* suf licient to pay the interest'. 1 repeat, therefore,, iliac the Act is anc.cui-ii?utional, th" construction (?laced ?poti it by the Financial Board is correct. But I hold thal that coil .traciion is not correct. The Act simply provides for conversion or ex change ot' bonds, as its t:?e indicates. < Hie iact that it was pot passed by the General Assembly ?11 accordance with 'the constitutional requirements ; referred lo above, which Vhay w0re : j.ety careful lo, p.hsorvo in the passage 3,f every other contracting a public debt, proves that they never meant it to, increase the public debt. The Act has also internal eyid.en.ee to show that it cappo^ hear the ocn ?trq?ticrli j^aoecl upon it by the Fi nancial Board. Section 3 requires lhat tlid Treasurer shall receive one dollar fee for all'bonds or stocks, ex changed, and fifty cent* for every blank used. in4he transaction, there by plainly showing that the conver s?n bonds, though signed, counter signed and sealed, were regarded as .io many blanks, until they w?re is sued from the Treasury, and, other ' bonds received in their stead', and, of course, caucfelecVand filed asvouehers irr ?vidences of the conversion bonds issued in lieu thereof. I khow, from repeated conversa tions with the Treasurer, that the con struction now placed upon the "Con version Aot" by the Financial Board, is an after thoiigkiy a piire' iriv??tion, fer?ed to extricate 'themselves from ti difficult' and perilous position. Tte rumor has been industriously circulated that \ have, uever Wt a registry, ol any o? all of the bonds \ haye.'sealed. ?h,ia stagnent is not corr?et: I a careful regis try af all the bonas sealed, except the conversion bonds. I have never aupposed for a moment that those conversion bonds would have been used for any other purpose, except in exchange for t^e ether bonds I had sealed and kept a registry of. But, as soon as I suspected that they were being used for other purposes, I did keep a very careful registry. I have the honor to .be, very re spectfully, F. L.

Greeley's Movements in Minne J AUGUSTA, MAINE, August IB.- I Greeley left Portland this morning on a special train for Augusta. He j was accompanied by Hon 0. P. Kim ball and several other prominent gen tlemen. At all places .along the route . dense crowds collected to see him. At Brunswick he was greeted with deafening cheers and music. In re-1 spouse to calls, he made a short j speech". i PORTLAND, August 15.-The fol-j lowing is the address of Mt. Greeley I in' the City Hall yesterday : ' . . MR..CHAIRMAN AND LADIES AND GENTLEMEN ; It is certainly true that, ! throughout the coarse of my life, so : far as I have been connected with public affairs, I have struggled, with j Bach capacity as God has given me, ? for-first, impartial and universal lib- j erty ; second; for the union and great- 1 ness of our common country, and j third, though by no means, least, when j j the foamer end was attained, !'. -r early j and hearty reconciliation and peace I j among our countrymen. For the^e I : great ends I have struggled,-and hope 11 the issu?'of the third i's not .loubttul. I thoroughly comprehend that no [ personal consideration has drawn this i vast assembly together. Other, high- t er and grander considerations have f collected you around me to-day. It ] is part of the written law of our, r country that a candidate for the Pps- t ideacy may not make speeches in a vindication and commendation of the t principles, whereupon he is supported i cr the measures which his election is D intended-to promote, though a candi- j date for Vice-President is under no such inhibition. I not merely ac- J quiesce in the restriction but I recog* 0 nize and affirm its propriety. The temptation to misinterpret and mis represent a candidate for the higher posts is sb great, the means of cir?u- jj Tating such perversions amohg people ?. who never see a word of their refu- u ration are so vast,, that a candidate 0 has ho moral right to subject his ~ friends to the perils; he must brave ^ it-not invite it by taking part tn the n. canvass, Yet there is a truth to be ' ' tj uttered in behalf of those who have, ?s placed me before the American peo- ?j pie in my pre ?ent attitude which does' c. them such honor that I claim. the u, privilege of stating it here and now. p This is that truth : No person has ev- ?? er yet made the fact known that he tj proposed to support, or actually did e] support, my nomination, whether at K Cincinnati,' at Baltimore, or in any ? action which resulted in sending del- ?_. egates to either Convention as the ^ basis of a claim, fox omceat my hands. a No one who, favored my nomination before either Convention, or at either a] Convention, has sought af?oe at my jc hands either for himself cr for any ^c one else, uor has-any one suggested <0( to'W tuatT might strengthen myself L\ as a candidate by promising to ap- 8j point any one to an important office, LI In a very few instances, less than a ( dozen, I am certain, seme ojt the :te smaller fry cf, politicians hay?, since tj my double n?mina ion, hinted to me cj that I might increase my chance-5 tV election by promising t\ p,p,5>t office or jc some such pUyo.e, lo, my volunteer cor respondents respectively, I have not ^ usually responded to these overtures, ^ but I how give general notice that ^ should I be elected, I will consider ra the claims'nf theseuntimely aspirants . after those of the more mVJerate and ^ retired shall have been/fully- satisfied. t^ [Applause.] . b, lu i\vp. or three instances I have" j been asked to say whether I would ?( or would not, it elected, contine my ? appointments to-Republicans? tau- ? swer these by pointing to the plank _ in the Cincinnati platform wherein ar all who concur in the principle there * involved are cordially invited to par- " ticipate in their establishment and ' vindication.

I answer, no man or( w woman in all the South ever asked of ec me, either directly or through anoth- ft er, any other pledge than is given in all my acts and words. From the hour of Lee's surrender to this mo- le ment, no Southern man ever hinted $ to me an expectation, hope or wish that the rebel debt, whether Confer}- 1 w erate or State, should be, assumed or tj. paid by the Unipn,' and no Southern te man who could be elected to a Legis l?'ture or made Colonel of a militia ifl regiment, even suggested the pen- c( sioning of all the rebel soldiers or -y any of them, even as a remote uossi- Q( bil tty. ei All who nominated; me. were, per- ^ fectly aware that I upheld and justi fied; federal ' legislation to repress ^ ?^u Klux conspiracy and- outrages, ?Q though I had long ago 'insisted as Qj strenuously as I now do that complete a] amnesty and; general oblivion of the ? Woody hateful past would do more al for th? ?Impression and utter extinc- ", tien of such outrages than all the j( force bills and suspension of habeas ^ corvus ever divised by man. Wrong; ^ aha crime, must be suppressed) ana ft. punished, but far w^sex and nobler> ^ is the l?gislation, the policy by which tj they are prevented. D( From those who support me in the a South I have heard but one demand, I e< " Justice ;" but obe -desire, " Recon- i ciliation." They wish to be heartily | reunited and at peace with the Nor^h a on any terms which do no|| invoWe si the surrender of their, manhood* They b ask 'hat tljey. should be regarded b anrli treaded, ky any Federal authtyi- ? ty as citizens, not culprit*, so long as a they obey and uphold every law con- ii sistent with equality and right.

The darker and deeper those shades the better foi themselves ?ind for mankind, and the hope that ray election may hasten the L-iueh desired hegira of thieving carpet-baggers, has reconciled to the necessity of supporting me many, who would otherwise have hesitated and probably refused.
