The ?dieeaeafon of this ease vu re eo med yesterday morning, in the House <rf Representatives. Upon the oon ?olaeion of tbe remarks of Mr. Boston, of Vewberry, Mr. Barker, o! Edge tfteld, too Ted that the House agree to tue report of the Joint Speoial Com? mittee, and appoint a committee of ?ra oo the part of the House and on the part of the Senate, to frame an address to the Governor, asking the removal of the Treasurer. Mr. Meetze, of Lexington, a member of the com? mittee, and the gentleman referred to io Mr. Oardoxo's reply, as one "who ?may be "regarded aa qualified by his exility and profeesIoB to discuss tbe questions involved," delivered a speech in favor of the resolution, whioh threw <* streng light over tbe whole subject. Mr. Meetze was laboring under physi? cal weakness, but his spirit was earnest, ^rankf and patriotic in the treatment of ?Xbro delioate questions involved iu it. Ho had indulged tho hope that when -the aew scheme for funding the poblio ?debt bad been inaugurated, it would there marked^ m new and1 better r era; Xihrt pecofation, fraud and spoliation would have henoeforth been discounts* naneed and discontinued. But inves? tigation shows that this was a delusive vfaopaj; that the parties who have. Infamy, are not content 1 mm "'bone* ta slake ? profit oat of them. Jo saying this, be -elaisaod to bo absolutely free from i Be mad ?bisaeelf, when the bill to re-' wtaorc take volume of the public debt name before the- Banse?, at Mk& last ' ^essiaw-afbig j#f#yy* V f^icb '?b Treasurer "olsfrnS'ftntj boasts" of? ma lo the motion to insert the clan so ?wki(Ja rejected the conversion <beuds< tfrete- \U operation, it ass 'this4 plank upon whioh the Ropubli ?aa ^jparty had chiefly relied for o?o$s) in $ie\lfkt '"campaign. ..Had etc Wow* ?ms mach ? then S as* he 'does now, had he possessed the in? formation whioh tbe Treasurer most -have possessed,' be would, have gone fartherand introduced other clauses Cor tbe rejection of the hypothecated hoads, whijfcfbis inveeUgation has de? monstrated to be equally fraudulent ?with the conversion bdnds. The Trea? surer jseneasarily knew the oharaoter of. fcoth,Jsni h* was not vlgihtot to reject oither. Oa the contrary,.he had left a gap open for their easy entrance. We .eii Sob follow Mr. Meetze in all ' the, striking points whioh he made. He eras particularly impressive in tbe view or hi oh he arged erf the varying character -of the Treasurer's seal for the interests of tho State. Wtfen the General As ?easbly, at the teat session, ordered a IstU of Mr. Hardy Solomon's to be paid, he showed vigilaooa and flrmne* s to rejecting one item of $25,000, whioh he teg'aided as doubtful. He would ?aot^osfd his objections until be re oeired speoial and renewed directions from the General Assembly to pay the t80 ik WM *n the matter ?f *he ?secfi (fortes of indebtedness ordered to ho sapped by bUa, at tho same seasion, its behalf Of several claimants. Mr. Caejgdji^ fought against this positive weder with all hie.might, carrying the aiae*?ee?a whioh grew oat of it up to 4hs^a*preme Oottrt, and finally to the UnUgaretates Supreme Court. This ssil#aflmieh might be considered 00m aaendatto io 00? point of view, was ?Itogether lacking when it should have been eqoally exhibited in defenos and protection of tho great interests of the State against trfefunding of fraudulent ho nda and co u poas. Personal interest ?gainst tbe one Obus of eases, and in Cavor of tbe Other, only can explain this remarkable contradictory course of the TreasgrafM^Meetze-handled ?auother port||wery conclusively. ?

Moetze continued hie exhaustive speech, dwelling' more particularly upon the Treasurer's divcreion of the interest fuudaad his violation of all authorized and well known principles of business, in so doing, as well as of the Act which makes it a felony. His at'aok npon the flaanoial standing of Mr. -Hardy Solomon, his.attempt to impli? cate the Comptroller-General in tbe offence with which he is charged, and his design to identify the prosecntibn of himself with an attack npon the Governor, were all presented, with lu? minous distinctness, aud force. For himself ani the gentlemon who acted with him. Mr. Meetze declared, that they were far from aiming in the slightest degree any opposition to the Executive or his administration: They had not voted for Mr. Chamberlain, bnt he had no truer friends than tbey are, while he adheres to the polioy he has raid down,' and sc far followed faithfully. But be would say, that unless the Legislature does something in this fligrant case, unless it re* bukes the wrong , of this abuse of a high public trust, that there is in? deed danger that the administration will be damaged. It is banging on a thread. The people who support the Government by paying its taxes?and the levy is heavier than ever before? have a right to require and insist upon it that it ?hall be honest, capable and administered with eoonomy. It would be fatal to it to have its good nemo discredited by a supposed support and eonntenanoe of an officer, whose mis deeds must be apparent to all, end un? less rebuked, will drive away tbe hold era of the bonds from any further con fidenoe in the securities of tbe State, or in tho process of funding. Tbey have a deep stake iu this matter, and will scrutinize moat closely every at? tempt to interfere with the monies levied and collected to satisfy tbeir just claims of interest. They will, in that oase, make haste to nnload. Messrs. Miller, of Beanfort, end a member from Charleston, and Mr. Green, of Beaufort, followed next in order?the two former sustaining tbe Treasurer, and tbe latter speaking in oppoeftion. 8 o'clock to-day was fixed npon as the boor when the.

We are compelled to take iaaue with the Nova and Courier me to the suffi? ciency of the p)*e of oonfeasioa ?od avoidance pUt in by the State Tree Barer; and while we ore equally anx? ious with OQr Charleston contempo? rary to chronicle the "peaceful close of a controversy whioh bodes serious trouble* to the State," we confess oar inability to see bow tbe controversy can be brought to a dose by the Trea? surer's reply, and we are not willing that the controversy should be brought to a olose at the expense of the tax | riddeu people of the State. To say that a publio officer who confesses that I he has funded over 3300.000 of fraud j uleut coupous, some of which he ac | knowledges were called to his atten? tion, has vindicated himself by any auch statement as that made by the I Treasurer, is to say that n man who wrongfully takes tbe money of another is not guilty of'laoeny, beoause he did not know whose money he was taking. This may seen to bo putting the case too strongly; but let us for a moment look at tbe faots and figures. By tbe official statements of the Comptroller Oenerel end State Treasurer, it ap? pears that from July 1, 1867, to Octo? ber 31, 1*871, the iuterest due. lipon, the public debt amounted to 81,5S5,572 16; and by the same reports, it appears that there Was paid oat for interest $1,600,21? 0*, showing that the inte? rest sooount was actually overpaid by $ 14,6*1.88. Mr. Cardoso most have had access, to these reports, abd if he baB made the fioaooes of the State a study, as he aaya he has, he must have known that the coupons presented to him by a State' Senator were ffarjda-i lent. Had he been animated by a de? sire to foster and protect the Fanding Act, it seems to us very strange that he should have allowed these fraudu? lent coupous to have been fanded. At any rate, the matter waB sufficiently suspicious to warrant the exercise of a little of that extreme vigilance to whioh ho lays olsim. But this is cot ?II. It is in evidence, aud the Trea? surer does not deny it, that the cou? pons of the $101,000 of unused relief of the treasury bond* were also fanded; that in the early operations uoder tbe Fanding Act, $1,400 of these ooapoos had been presented to be funded; that Captain Little, tbe' clerk in' the Comptroller-General'*. !offioe, detected them and called the attention of the Treasurer to the feet, aud that the coupons were then rejected, because they had been unlawfully taken from tbe possession of tho State, to whom tbey lawfully belonged. And in the face of this, over 89,000 of these coupons were subsequently funded?; coupons detached from bonds which have uever for a single instant been out of the posseemo?'Of the State, whioh were the property of tbe State until stolen from,the treasury vaults, sod to faud whioh was a palpable fraud npon tho State of tbe grossest kiqd. If the State Treasurer did not know that the entire amount of, interest accruing dp to Ootober 31, 1871, had been paid, he not only cannot have made tbe study of the flnacoee the one engrossing sub? ject of his official career, bnt be is also grossly ignorant of the duties of his offioe. If he did know tbe fact, he has been a party to a great wrong, and in either event, has proven that tbe trea? sury is not safe in bis hands. Of his diversion of the interest fund, we have already spoken. He does not deny it, bat attempts to step abide from the matter under consideration to besmirch a respeotable merchant and banker of this oity. We have nothing whatever to do with his quarrel with Mr. Solo? mon; bat we do not hesitate to express the opinion, that bis attempt to break down the credit of one of tbe sound? est banking institutions in the eity, is as uncalled for as it is fotile. It by no means strengthens his lame defence. Ho has utterly failed, in our judg? ment, to disprove a single charge made against him by tbe oommittee, and the Legislature should speedily set its seal of condemnation npon tbe frauds whioh be has allowed to be perpetrated nnder the Fanding Act on the people of Soath Caroline, ?->? > / Tho English Government is dis? posed to repeal the discriminating laws of wbioh Ireland with so mnoh reason oompUins, and that Parliament will promptly aot npon the bill intro? duced by the Chief Secretary for Ire lend is indioated by the support given to it by the Liberal leader, the Msr qnis of Hartington. Tbe Chief Secre? tary made a clever poll tips I epigram when he said that many 'fttura.id emi? grants had acquired Westen vices and forgotten Irish virtues. One oi V .sr American vices is, no doubt, a love o. liberty, and, probably vit Uef of tbe Irish virtues woold be, .& opioion, patient submission to tyranny. They hass had a treasury investiga? tion in Georgia, loo. Tho denote hu odoenrred in resolutions adopted by tbs Hoase, severely consnriog tbe Trestorer for maladministration of the affairs of the State Treasury, aud in strdeting the Governor to appoint some one to take aherge of his office. This decision was oomo to after consi? deration of two reports made by tbe Finanoe Committee, tho second not agreeing altogether with the state? ments contained iu the first. Consi? derable dissatisfdotiou bus been ex? pressed at this aotioo, and it is oharged that the Treasurer has boeu treated with undue severity aud harshness. It baB not been pretended at any time that be has been guilty of any fraud or crime. The gravamen of the accusa? tions against him is that $152,000 worth of bonds have been paid twice, and that the affairs of the office have been carelessly administered. The Treasurer and his friends claim that it is not koowu that this amount bus ever been paid twice. The assertion that it was paid previously to the official life of the present Treasurer is one made only by Clews, aud while raising prima facia evideuoe, is not conclusive upon the point. Tbe Treasurer avers ?hat they came to bis office ae regular bona fide bonds, unoanoeled and over? due, aud be was compelled to pay them. As to carelessuess, he vays, aud tbe committees soom to brfar him out in thin pArticular, that it in tho system aud tbe precedents of the office tbut are to be blamed. II-j baa ma? naged the office iu accordance with the established aud recoguized usage. A minority of both the Sonate and House of Representatives have Bigued a protest against the summary and un? satisfactory disposition of a question of suoh grave character. They say' if there is auy serious grouud for com? plaint, it is-not met by the action which has been proposed. They inti? mate th.it articles of iuipeuohtneut were necessary, both for tho vindica? tion of the Treasurer and io justice to the State. Tuat, they aiy, is the only course which promises a dispositiuu of the matter in true accord with the dig? nity and duty of tho honorable body of the General Assembly. The Trea? surer himself says that ho does not re? gard the suit which has been ordered against his boodatneu, except for tbe impngnment it carries. He wonld pre? fer an impeachment, but likes any? thing that teuds to a thoroagh investi? gation of the matter. He says, besides, that he would not allow any financial agent to enter the treasury, to take charge of it and the books and keys. He will maintaiu hin position until his term expires, or until his death, or uutilhe .it regularly removed by due eonrso of impeachment. So the mat? ter stands in Georgia, aud publio oiiioion is divided up n tho justice, propriety and regularity of the pro? ceedings whioh have been instituted against the Treasurer. The case is es sontially different from that now un? dergoing investigation before the General Assembly of this State, in the charaotor and number of the charges. - A hkansas.?The course of tbe House of Representatives on the Arkansas queeton furnishes some solace for the I passage of the bayonet bill. It ia a I square blow at the President, and shows that he is not yet the oomplete master of his party. His recent re? commendations to Congress were in the very teeth of tbe report made by tbo majority of tbe committee which Investigated tbe affairs of that State. Yet tbe House has adopted that report by a vote of 153 to 80?a majority, in a body two-thirds Republican, of 73 against a Republican President. The President informed the House that the present State Government of Arkan? sas is a usurpation, and that Joseph Brooks is the logal Governor. The House bas informed the President that Joseph Brooks is a usurper, and that Gen. Garland is the lawful Execu? tive. Tbe President also very plainly intimated that unless tbe House took some aotion in the matter, he should recognize Brooks, and put him in pos? session of the Government upon the adjournment of Congress. TbeHonso has aoted, and its action cannot be misunderstood. The present Govern? ment is folly sustained, and every pro text for interference with it has been taken from General Grunt. If the Brooks faotion attempts usurpation they will do it at their peril. [Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel. \ .

Although tbe days ?f irra? tional medication are happily passing away, and intelligent physicians have '. ceased to measure the Supposed effica? cy ef a remedy by tho violenoe of .its '" \ effects; there still linger among ! the old practitioners a few of those predi? lections in favor of "heroic" treat? ment, wl)ich it would be lucky for their patients if they had abandoned.

A , contrast or the effects of these drench? ingdrugs, with tbe mild and benefi cent operation of Hoste tier's Stomach Bitters, is the best argument that can be adduoed against the wisdom of auch destruotive treatment. Tbe old fashioned cathartics convulse the stomseh, and relax the bowels so ab rnbtly and copiously as to weaken them. Hostetter's Bitters, on the con? trary, never gripe the intestines, bat produoe a laxative effect resembling the aotion of nature. At. the' same time tbey remove the eaose of' odttsti pation, by arousing the dormant liver to secrete the bile necessary to the regnlsr performance of the exeoretive , function, and enables the stomach to thoroughly digest the food. Indiges? tion and billiouenees having been thus overoome, a regular habit of body is tbe necessary consequence, which the occasional subsequent use of the Bit-4 ters renders permanent.
