It is prepared with fcbe usual oare and expressed in tho uaual cloax language of thot.pf&oer. It treats of over forty ?oases; amoogattkem that of tbe State ?ex relations Morton, Bliss St Oo vs. 8. If. HogO, Comptrollur-Genor,.!. Prooeedings bate been discontinued in this eaae, because tbe General As aornbly at the last eoasion repealed i Ii? provision of tbe law wbiob authorized the Comptroller "to give notioo uf the ratei or; pet centum neaesaory to b? levied upon the taxable* property of the State." The 'subsequent enact -<ment of . tho statuta to redeem, tho vo ? In mo o! - the public debt contributed likowiao to this reenlt, by providing I ' lor an equitable adjustment of the lia? bility of the;Stato} on the bonds in? volved in these prooeedings. The further iaot io taontiouod, that Senator Dojgitojj chairman of a committee ap? pointed nt thelast session of the Gen? eral Assembly to ascertain what bonds had been hypothecated by the Finan? cial Agent no collateral Security for ?"'State loans and to report thereon, had ? oallcd the attention of the Attorney Gonorol to fcoto ascertained in tbe ? course of bia iuveitigaiiona, >'whioh tended to invalidate a ' considerable .-.portion of the bondsembraued in these ? prooeedings, andinobided in the terms v.?f&he Consolidation Act, and urging vappn me (him) tl)o duty of taking pro? ceedings to enjoin the several offiaers of j|he EkeeWyeV Department from b^j^ingjiito opejatiotf'sb uiucu of the Act as relates to,.these bonds, until ?their validity end obligation could be pasted- apo*rbyr^heropurt?." After - consultation ttith ihei Treasurer, the Attorney-General deelined to take the action,^|^tpposed.?B>admits, however, thatlSrWersl matters'of objection were? presented by , Senator. Dunn, wbiob, ?ander other clreumstanoes, would have ^s^#?e&oVe ca'niideration;' The cironmataneoa wbioh, in hia view, jns tided him in the oonrse he pursued, are, I'that the ' proceeding, if taken, ?would at best have diminished the amount of the debt by less than 31,000,000, und, on the other band, by re-ppeniog the Settlement/ would probably' have increased it by more than 03,000,000, and would likewise have tended to impair confidence iu the debt settlement, and, postponed the restoration of the State's credit:. Besides/ ha says, in the oases atbtbe ouit of ilofton, Bliss & Co., facta were alleged- against the validity of each olass of boudo, of like .oharaoter aud of equal force to those now soggested by Senator Dunn, and the Supreme Court deelined to allow inquiry into them, and animadverted opon the Attprney-Goneral for, calling in ques? tion'the good faith and obligation of fchio debt. If no understand this statement correctly, the' Attorney General decided ppon hia oonrse of notion not from considerations of law, but of pradenoo. He oleimo the right ^'?erciae hia discretion1 aa a pnblio 4ffi6er4 in determining the moat proper and'judicioao ooureo for one. to pursue who Is identified with the State admi? nistration in M measure of polioy which it regards no vital to its success. The question being, then, of this charac? ter, wo take leave to . differ with tbe Attorney-General as to tbe conclusions to which he arrived. If there were any real gronoda to believe that these bonds, or any part of them, were uot valid, we thick, with all deference, that it was his duty, as tho law offiuer of the State, to consider them folly, to eubjeot them to investigation, aud to throw them cot, if tbe objections to them could have then sustained. If they are fraudulent, the. State don't owe thorn and ought not to pay them. If bonds of this ebaraoteir1 are iuoladed in the terms of the Consolidation Aot, they have no baalneeo there, and the Stato is not euiled npon to renew its obligation it? pay them, by allowing tuen* fco bo funded. Wo fail to see bow t heir rejection would have been attend? ed wjth Iba admission of that portion of the, public debt, (tho conversion bond*, we suppose,, are meant,) wbioh had been dt'OiAted fraudulent ami void, or how it'troald have re-opened the set? tlement at alt, As to the credit of the -Stato, it appears to us that it would have been improve by getting rid of $1,000,000 of doubtfal or spurious olaims. And the a a willingness of the Court, upon a'tertaja occasion, to al? low inquiry into the) foct^ of the Tali dity of the boqda, was phono, proba? bly, wbou euab inquiry Was only u sidu Issue. Its view of its duty might be different, if the inquiry was made di? rect. While we have ouoie to * d-fforeut; oouulusiou from that acted op?u by the Attorney-General, we li ff-r Irons bim with some hesitancy, aud src pleased to believe that he was actuated by patriotic purpose and good iiiteu tions.iu desiring to have the Aoi to re- I duoe tbu volamo of tho debt uuqtie.M tioned aud unaffected by oolln orul issues.

Tbe wenr and tear of city life are a severe tax upou tho strongest constitu? tions. Tho hurry and bustle uud anx? ieties of business keep tbe nervons system in a state of unnatural tension during business hours, and iu the end impair tbe elasticity and vigor of tbe vital organization. The penalty of all undue excitement is subsequent ex? haustion. Tbe best remedy for it, whatever tbe cause, is Hostettor's Sto? mach Bitters, the touio und alterative properties of which rapidly diffuse themselves through the entire system, revive and reinforce every dormant faculty, and restore a natural oonditiou of body aud mind. Some moral re? formers insist upon the disuse of all stimulants. This, to say tbe least of it, is irrational. All competent physi? cians, admit that a pure medicated stimulant in oue of tbe most useful remedies known. As a tonio aud in vigoraut lor tbe aged and languid, Hostetter's Bitters has no equal. It is tbe sheet-anchor of the feeble and de? bilitated. Iu all climates aud in every species of disorder which breaks down the bodily strength, it is an absolute specific. It is also nu invaluable remedy for sea sickness. The nausea and retching caused by the pitching and rolling of a vessel at sea paralj2.es the bodily and mental energies, and those who suffer from it would do well to resort to the Bitters as a moans of Hure and permanent relief. No steamer should eail without a supply of the artiolo. Among the botanic ingredi? ents of wbioh it is composed are some of the most powerful blood depurents wbioh tbe vegetable kingdom affords. Consequently, it not only tones and invigorates, but also purifies the sys? tem through tbe natural sluices whioh nature baa provided. J 29 |3<[l Ooe hand made with one mule on Mr. N. O.
