We bard before jas the report of At.
torney-Goneral Melton to the General
Assembly of the cases argued, tried or
conducted by him iu tbe Supreme
Court and Circuit Courts darin? tbe
-past year, with information in relation
to the oriminal laws of snob observa?
tions and Btotemen to as in hin judg?
ment the oriminal. jurisdiction 0ud
proper eoonomioal administration of
the' oriminal law warrant and require.
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aornbly at the last eoasion repealed i Ii?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

The Weak and Teak op City Lipe.
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

Death of Mb. Geobge A. Hall.?
This well-known citizen died, yester?

I down the steps of Parker's Hall, (re
I ferred to in yeste rday's Phojnix ) Mr.
Hall belonged to an excellent and
weutby English family, who emigrated
to this country nearly sixty years ago;
be was born at sea, and, therefore,
claimed no nationality. Ainsley Hall,
Esq., a wealthy merchant of long ago,
was his und? Mr. Hall wassbachelor,
and is believed to be the last of his
family. An inquest was bold, yester?
day morning, by Acting Coroner Bill,
and after a post mortem examination, a
verdict waa rendered that he came to
his death from fracturing his skull by
a fall. Tbe remains were interred in

family he had served faithfully many

Ohio, on the 22d of July next. We
believe this will be the anniversary of
one of tbe hardest fought battles of
tbe late war, in which General Scott
was captured; and the occasion in
question is one eminently fitting for
the General to compare his old and bis
new fellow-citizens, and to present his
{estimate of tbo magnanimity and
generosity of tbe Confederate soldiers
amongst whom he now resides, He
may also discuss the short-comings of
