The OroBBd or the Altori?ey-Qeuer?I*?
Advice to Tr???ur?r Cavrdozo.
In his report to the Legislature, the
Attorney-General, in connection with
remarks npon the case of the State ex
relations Morton, Blies & Go. vs. S. L.
H?ge, makes some reference to the
facts, as reported to him last Jane by
Senator Dann, whioh, it was claimed,
invalidated a considerable portion of
the bonds embraced in this suit aud
i unladed in the terms of the consolida?
tion Aot. He says, "several matters of
objection were presented, wbioh, under
other circumstances, would have de?
manded serious consideration?the chief
of whioh wee the allegation that these
bonds were hypothecated or sold after
the time limited by the several Acts
under whioh they were issued." The
Attorney-General oame to the conclu?
sion, after consultation with the State
Treasurer, to deoline to take tho pro?
posed action. The grounds were, that
it might operate to impede or hinder
the Buooessfnl accomplishment of the
funding scheme. This it would do,
first, by impairing confidence in the
settlement; and, secondly, supposing
it to be reopened, by affording to the
holders of the fraudulent and repudi?
ated bonds the opportunity to include
their olaims, and thus increase tbe
debt almoet indefinitely.
We,have itebeieed some .words of
the language used by* thai Attorney
Genera), iitt order that its purport may
be more particularly marked and
weighed. It seems to us to mean that
the matters bf"objection presented by
the committee were serious in his
view, but that, after consulting the
Treasurer, they wero over-ruled, as of
lees importance than the injury whioh
the funding Aot wonld probably re?
ceive, if they were entertained. As he
further on says, ".to stale the argument
more plainly, without accuracy as to
figures,the proceeding wquld at best di?
minish the amount of debt by less than
$1,000,000, on the one hand; and would
probably, on the other hand, inorease
the debt by more thau $3,000,000.
We have a r igbt to infer from this re?
port that the Attorney* General chose
to look not at the distinotive character
of the bonds, whose legality was
oalled in question by the investigating
committee, but the supposed ill effect
and danger of refusing to fond them.
He etrnok tha balance of loss whioh
the State might incur in funding
them, with the probable loss and in?
jury whioh would reeult to the funding
scheme, if they Were rejected and dis?
allowed altogether. He thought the
former the less of the two. He coun?
seled, therefore, as a matter of policy,
and as a protection against harm to
the cherished scheme of funding the
publio debt, that the funding of bonds,
whioh the committee has reported as
not a binding obligation of the State,
should go on.- These were "the oir
cainstances," which iuduoed him to
look away from th e ? 'several mattere
of objection, which, under other cir?
cumstances," as he says, "would have
demanded serious consideration."
Governor Chamberlain, in his recent
publication, refers to the Attorney
General is having expressly defended
and advised the funding of these
bonds. But as we have shown, he
did it upon grounds other tban the
validity and legality of the bonds.
The Treasurer was told to fund them,
not because they were good and un?
doubted claims against the ?tato, but
because a refusal to do so would oause
trouble!'and hart the State's credit.
This being a mere -matter of opinion,
was nut a safe ground upon which the
Treasurer could stand, as tbe event hoe
t>hown.
The Postal ObUnge ? It has been
stated that pontage on third class mail

papers and rnag*Eiue'< Mr*" failed by

Kesdiag matter on every page."
Governor Chamberlain admits that
if any bonds or coupons ware "unlaw?
fully eetotending, and knowledge of
this were brought home to Mr. Oar
dozo," ho might well hare refused to
fund them. This is just what was done
by the committee, appointed at the last
session of the General Assembly to as?
certain what bonds oi the State were
pledged by the Financial Agent as col
la toral seenrity for State loans. The
committee reported the result of their
investigations*, and nrged upon the
State officers not to oarry into effect so
muoh of the Act to redoes the volume
of the debt as related to these bonds,
"until their validity and obligation
could be passed upon by the courts."
That was a reasonable and proper re
quest. Why could not the Treasurer
wait until the matter was better deter?
mined? There was sufficient reason,
certainly, to make him pause, in
the revelations "brought home"
to him by the oommittee. Indeed, it
is remarkable that he should have dis?
regarded their representations, when
1 we consider the circumstances and ob?
jects of the appointment of the oom?
mittee. The object wss to provide as
far as possible against the funding,
under tbe funding Aot, of bonds in the
possession of persons who were not
their actual owners, aud the oiroum
stances were a general and justly en?
tertained suspicion that snob bonds
wore held ready to be brought in and
funded, in violation of oquity and law
find to'the Injury of the State.
In the matter of the $211,000 of in?
terest coupons detached from bonds of
the State and whioh matured at a time
when the whole interest had been paid;
of the $196,485 of ooupons detached
before and during the period of their
hypothecation; of $6,960 of coupons
detaohed from bonds wbioh ma?
tured before the bonds themselves
were issued from the State treasury; of
$0,205 of ooupons detaohed from
bonds wbioh had always been tbe pro?
perty of the State, being in the trea?
sury marked "cancelled, unused," we
should have thought that the Trea?
surer would not have noeded any
warning not to fund them, or any
knowledge to be "brought home" to
him by others that they were not valid
obligations against tbe State.
After all, there has not been much
of a shower in New Hampshire, and a
reported Republican triumph has been
changed into substantially a Demo?
cratic victory.
How Senator Ransom; .Saved the
South from Probable Bankruptcy.?
According to the statement of tho
Washington correspondent Of the
Baltimore Sun, Senator Ransom, of
North Carolina, in the closing hours
of the late Congress?when the almost
riotous haste and confusion favored
the smuggling of obnoxious measures
through the forms of legislation?per?
formed u virtue which eutitles him to
the gratuful acknowledgments of the
people of the South. It seems that a
bill had passed both houses of Con?
gress without notioe, authorizing a
writ of mandamus issued by auy Cir?
cuit Ooorvof the United States against
any State officer, to remain of full
effect, notwithstanding the death or
resignation of such officer. Tbe effect
of tbe bill, as was ascertained, would
be to compel tbe payment of all the
bogus bonds. State aud municipal,
issued during the Rsdicul and carpet?
bag role in several of the Southern
States, whioh would bankrupt North
Carolina, Georgia, and, perhaps, some
other States. It is believed that the
holders of some $8,000,000 of bogns
railroad bonds, issued by the North
Carolina Radical authorities, inspired
this bill, and tbo common rumor is
that Gen. Butler "worked up" tbe bill
in hie ingenious style, by which suspi?
cion, as tb; its tree intent was cot
aroused. The bill had already been
enrolled, and was' ready for tbo signa?
tures of the presiding officers, when,
through; tpe watchfulness and prompt
efforts of Gen. Ransom, it was ar?
rested in the last stage before becom?
ing a law.

Tax and Taium1.?The New York
World has a grim array of figures to
prove that the poorest and most indus?
trious people of this country have to
I shoulder the largest part of the tax
burden. It is shown that, during
fourteen years of Republican supre?
macy, the net revenue of the Govern
ment for the fiscal year 1374 was over
S299.000.000, of which over $265,500,
000 was derived from customs and in?
ternal revenue. Of this amount, sugar
ami molasBes produced ?34,800,000;'
woolen goode, $32.300.000; whiskey,
(internal revenue,) 043,000,000, aud
tobacco and cigars, $31,000,000, Ao.
At least 90 per cent, of the important
1 articles taxed is paid by the industrial
I classes. The Chicago Tribune, &~Rq
publican paper, is especially severe
upon tho nowly regulated tariff. Hear j
this.
"It proposed a gigantio robbery?an
annual dividend of $30,000,000 or
$40,000,000 to one class, a cash bonus
of 20 cents a gallon to overy bolder or
owner of whiskey; a cash bonus of 4 to
15 per cent, on the value of all the
wooleu, cotton, paper, iron aud steel,
lead, tin, zinc, copper and other metal
goods, aud on manufactures of -glass,
io store in the conntry. The bill had
the support of every whiskey distiller
in tho United States and of all the
owners of spirits. It added $10,000,
000 cash to the value of the whiskey
on hand, and exempted it from taxa?
tion. All this class of persons, and they
are numerous in every Congressional
District, wore represented on the floor
of both houses of Congresa, urging
aud pushing this bill. The sugar re?
finers, in whose interest the people of
tho country have been unmercifully
taxed for fourteen years, were present,
urging this bill. Tim class of persons
1 ure among the wealthiest and most
pampered by protection in the coun?
try. This bill proposes to the annual
tax on sugar $30,000,000, of which
($8,000,000 are to be paid to the
United States and the other $22,000,
j 000 to the sugar refiners. They were
represented in both houses of Con?
gress by their attorneyo acting as
members. Every one who was repre?
sented in this gigantio scheme of rob?
bery was represented; but the people,
wbo are to be robbed, had few mem?
bers to speak a word in their bahalf."
This bill was carried by the earnest
appeal of the President and his Cabi?
net, and carried, too, by a single vote.
It is a purely Republican and Admints
| tration measure, only one Democrat
voting for it. The Tribune should
consider that tho political doctrines it
has taught so persistently have brought
the country to such a pass, that the
people hava to be burdened with now
taxes when they can least afford it, or
else the Government become bank?
rupt. The payment of bonulics to
New Eoglantf, and the non-taxation of
United States bond-holders, have
gronnd the working classes into pow?
der. The overthrow of tho industrial
system of tho South, and tho war upon
this seotion since 1865, have at last bo
gen to reaot upon the East and West.
When the workingmeu once get their
eyoe open to tho monstrous frauds
practiced upon them since, 1860-61,
there will be such a rattling of dry
{bones as never was known in the world
[bifore.

The Great Anti-Periodic.?The
certainty and promptitude with which
Hostelter's Stomach Bitters conquer
the mo9t obstinate oases of malarial
j disease,.and tbe oomplete protection
whioh they afford tbe system against
the miasmatio poison whioh impreg?
nates the air of low-lying, marshy lo?
calities, stamp them as the foremost of
American anti-periodios. Wherever,
on this continent, fever and ague is a
regular visitant?in tbe bottom lands
of the Booth, the new clearings and
mining districts of the West, and in
all localities in the Eastern and Middle
States where malsrla prevails, the Bit?
ters are recognized as the only trne
specific for the disease, and its moat 1
[reliable preventive. They are, more?
over, a safe and agreeable, as well as a
certain, remedy; and'on this account,
are immeasurably superior to the pre?
parations of quinine, arseuio, bismuth
and other mineral poisons mistakenly
administered as curatives for maladies
caused by miasma, and whieh, if per?
sisted in, work irreparable injury to
the Constitution.
Unfortunately, fever and ague, and
[the other febrile complaints generated
by miasma, are not the only evils
whioh result from it. A great variety
of disorders are enperinduoed by the
irritation whieh it causes. Among
these are neuralgia, rheumatism, gout,
periodical headache, palpitation, pain?
ful affections of the spleen, and various
derangements of the stomach. When
traoeable to malaria, the above affec?
tions are apt to assume, like tbe dis?
ease which originated them, an inter?
mittent type; that is to say, they recux
at regular intervals. Hostetter's Bit?
ters, however, obviates them all, by
banishing the miasmatio virus from
the system. . Mar YL\Z\\

The amount of testimony in favor of
Dr. Sohenck's Pnlmonio Syrnp, as a
cure for consumption, far exceeds all
that oan be brought to support the
pretensions of any" other medicine.
