Trial ot the Treasurer.
O. D. Melton, Esq., of ooaneel for
Treasurer Gardozo, delivered a strong
and admirably arranged argument
in. vindication of his innocence ot the
oaaiu charges brought against him by
tho Special Joint Committee and in
Gztoauatiou of others, lie aBked the
Oeaeral Assembly not to entertain
any form of proceeding which would
rooalt as described by tho committee,
simply in a vote of want of confidence.
There was none each known to the
Constitution. They should acquit or
condemn upon the charges. He went
over the oharges and specifications in
the first branch of She snbjeot seriatim,
?aaiataining . the following points:
'?be feuding of these bonds, was within
Va.o positive requirement of the Fund?
ing Act; that they are within the
?mounts specially authorized and di?
rected to be fapded; that the provl
eiono of this Act extended to all bold
?era of the enunciated bonds without
Tospeot to persons?to creditors hold?
ing bonds in pledge as well as those
holding absolutely aa owners; that thit
Aot was passed in view of and with
actual knowledge of all the material
ffaets now alleged against the validity
?of these bonds; that it was within the
?purpose and' policy of the Act that
they should be landed; that the provi?
sions of tho Aot Were tendered to the
^holders of' its bonds as a compromise
'?which ell were invited to accept; that
by tho funding, tho State has lost no
aright whioh attached to. the original
'bonds surrendered; that the General
Assembly has again and again waived
all objections* on the part of the State
to tho validity of these bonds; that
?< Ihsia alleged objections, even if valid
'Rejections, cannot be pleaded against
the holders of theso bonds; that the
Treasurer was by law bonnd to do as
"he has done; that he was without
authority to disregard the warrant of
the law; and that although all the at?
tending faots have been known to the
Creaeral Assembly for now near fonr
months, no such authority has been
given htm.
A point of groit interest in this dis
oaseion has been the remarkable fact
4hat the Treasurer has f traded bonds
of a large amount of interest coupons
outstanding daring years when the
State was paying its interest, and in
Gold, the amount so paid being alleged
to be greater than the estimates palled
for.; Upou. that matter, Mr. Melton
aaidV . ,
As to funding of 8211,000 of de?
tached coupons whioh matured on or
before July 1, 1871, theohargeis, that
the amount of interest paid prior to
October, 1871?. was in exoess of the
Comptroller's estimates of what was
?seeded. And a' presumption also ex
iafcs, that np to- that period, the State
was paying interest, and part of the
time in gold. Comptroller's estimates
are nonjeoturai, and always made a
year in advanoo, and cannot be made
to bower future-end unanticipated de?
mands". The committee's statement
from these estimates ie, that $14,884.16
was said in excess of them. The fault
horo, ia, that no aoooant is taken of the
large 'amount of bonds whioh were
tssafdaftor the estimates were made,
amounting to nearly $9,000,000. In
the treasury only oan be found the
bo?d ? registry and statement of
amounts due for interest at each an*
coal period. An examination of these
books, kept by Parker, shows that at]
data of Ootober, 1871, there was due
oq account of interest, $617,025.97.
Tuorb is no record in the treasury of
other payments than those stated, and
Parker's vouohers are all In the office,
covering every payment*of interest
made by him or 'Comptroller-General.
Stoek books show balances are due to
aearly 100 persons on account of stook
interest falling duo daring that period.
Among the bonds fanded, arc many
arhioh oarry coupons for that period
yet attached. Why these coupons
were not < presented and paid while
State was paying interest, and paying ?
it in gold, oanriot be shown; bat eo it
is, th'o oobpoon wore dueand'were not
paid. Wo may coojootaro that, as it
is in evidence that these bond a were
under hypothecation, tho loans may
not have been olosed ont until 1873,
many may not have been olosed out in
1873 or 1874. Many are not oloeed oat
yet. In reference to the charge of di?
version of the interest fund, Mr. Mol?
ton Admitted that, tho Treasurer had
made a departure from the positive
provision of law. For his justification,
he held that the aot had proceeded
from a proper motive; that it had
sprang i from a necessity whioh could
not have been1 otherwise mot; and that
no piejudioo to others had resulted
from tho violation,'
At the evening ooasion of the joint
assembly, sitting to hear argument
upon the proposed address to the Go*
vernor to remove the Treasurer from
office, Mr. Yousnaua delivered nn el
feotife speech upon a line of disoas
siou oonsitiorably ditfeirent from that
taken by Mr. Melton.- i lie gave a bio
torisel sketch of the mode of proceed
log by addre^. doflnins its character
on<l fixing ite j uat limit*. He treated,
also, the vexed questionof the interest
oonpono, giving reasons why, in hie
judgment, they wcro not paid to'hold?
ers when due. He ooooluded by ex?
position of the spirit in which tbe
General Assembly should oo a eider a
ease of this magnitude. Mr. Porter
speaks to-day, at 12 o'clock.
In Contempt.
Tbe House of Representatives was
filled with wratb, yesterday, against
the editor of the Union-Herald. In nn
article on the Governor's veto, he had
called some of tbe members by name
as "animals," stirred up by Leslie to
"bowls of anguiBb aud despair." This
imputation of being animals, and
"jaokalle" at that, roused the repre?
sentative ire to an ungovernable pitch.
Tbey pitohed into the editor, calling
him "Jim" for short, pourod broad?
side after broadside into bis sanotum,
aud charged him with being as great
an animal as themselves. Finally,
tbey passed a resolution to have him
arrested aud brought before tbe bar of
the House for contempt. The arrest
was duly made, aud Mr. Thompson
appeared before the awful preseuoe,
looking as innooeot as a lamb. And
now it began to be realised that they
bad a huge elephant on hand. What
to do with him, was. the question.
Upon being informed by the Speaker
that he was held to be io contempt of
tho House, Mr. T. asked for time to
consider what ho should do in the case,
having, as be said, been "captured"
only an hour or so before.
Mr. Orews moved that time be
allowed him till 7 P. M., this evening.
Leslie sent op a motion-to let him go.
Before these propositions could be
acted upon, the Senate appeared, to go
into joint assembly with the House in
the Gardozo case. What was doue
with the editor we have not heard, but
hope that he passed the night com?
fortably, and will come np Bmiling this
evening. Our own sympathy would
have been more actively excited in bis
behalf, but for the faat that io the
same column in which he poured out
bis oontempt on his political assooiates,
be ruthlessly characterized us as a
"pleasant old gentleman, too innocent
for the times, and rarely speaking to a
politician under sixty." This double
imputation of age and verdancy is too
much for a gay young gentleman,
abreast of tho times, to submit to with
patience. But we shall wait for our
revenge till the House baa doue with
tbe "prisoner." Then if he escape
Soy 11a, he is sure to fall into Charybdis.
Old gentleman, iudecdl Tbe man who
oould write that is fit for treason,
stratagem and spoils.
Collanao of Civil Service ltcforra.
President Grant has annonnoed to
his Oabine*. the abandonment of tbe
so called civil service reform, and di?
rected that instructions in accordance
with this determination be transmitted
to oivil service boards. Tbe astute oc?
togenarian politician of New York,
Tbnrlow Weed, takes occasion to re?
call a prediction made by him more
than two yearn ago, that it was an un?
tenable aud unpromising scheme,
which "originated with Senators in
Congress, who, by their diligeut ef?
forts in procuring appointments for
relatives and friends, generally in
utter disregard of fitness, did much to
render oivil service reform necessary
and popular." The same selfishness
which brought about tho evil, would
prevent its rectification. It is not con?
stitutions, or laws, or systems, or poli?
cies, or programmes, on whiob tbe
safety of the Government and tho wel?
fare of the people depend; but rather
and mainly upon the high character of
the men chosen to obey aud exeoute
the Constitution and laws. Saoh men
have not snrrounded the administra?
tion of President Grant. He gave a
mortal blow to the pro]coted reform
himself, soon after ita plan was sot
forth, as was shown by a letter whiob.
George William Cart la r/roto, tondoring
his resignation of an office in oo_ aeo*
lion with it He saw that it was a
hollow affair, a mere pretence to inflo
enoe pnbliq opinion, and showing
weakness and inauffloieuoy at the first
strain pat upon it. Now it is officially
confessed that It cannot be executed,
and Mr. Weed cornea forward to jeer
the Administration with a reference to
the still herder golden rale laid down
for oivil eerrlee appointments by Mr.
Jeffareon. The question he thought
proper to have pat to applicants was:
"Li he honet?) capable and faithful to
tbe Oouetit?iiou?" It is no longer
pertinent, and the role it established
is no longer in vogne.

XTtawarramtcJal?* .
Tbe matter of contempt obarged
against Mr. Thompson, of the Union
Herald, presents itself to as in scarcely
any other than a ladiorons light. If
it be seriously meant, then it is
proper to say that it Is a dange?
rous aud unwttrrautable stretch of
power ovor the rights and liberties of
aoitizec. Free epeech is guaranteed
every one nuder the Constitution and
by the equally high law of universal
usage and enjoymuut. He is respon
p'ble only for the abuse of that right
uudor tbe law, by indictment for libel.
Calling up a man from bis private
business to plaoe bim before tbo bar
of tbo House as a criminal guilty of
contempt, arresting and bolding bim
as a prisooer, because be bas ezeroised
the privilege of comment with sup?
posed undue freedom upon tbe pro?
ceedings or persons of a legislative
body, is an unbeard-of proceeding,
justifiable by no special privileges of
tbe party attacked or reflected on, and
indefensible in the forum of either
law, usage or reason. We wero pleased
to notice, yesterday, that Gen. Wal?
lace, of Union, struok the right key,
in calling attention to the extravagant
and injurious oharaoter of the Btep
about then to be taken against tbe
editor of tbe Union-Herald. We trust
tbat the matter will go no further.
The press is as free in its sphere as the
Legislature. The privileges of tbeone
do not lap over the rights aud privi?
leges of the other. Star chamber man?
dates are out of order and bebind the
times. No other process can ucoom
plish?what no law can be enacted to
do?any restraint or abridgement of
tbo liberty of speech or of the press.
"I Told You So."?The Carolina
Spartan says:
Thb Pboof Furnished.?The most
casual observer cannot fail to maik, iu
the course and oondnot at present of
very many of thoBe who were very
I loud-mouthed iu the advocacy of
Gov. Chamberlain's election, the utter
insincerity of their protestations of
I honesty and reform made during the
oampaign. Tbe Governor, it turns
I out, meant wbat he said und wtta Bin
core. Theso boasted reformers, by
tbeir subsequent attitude and evident
purposes, say tbat they did not mean
what tbey said, and tbat tbey are tho?
roughly and unmistakably insincere.
From bis inaugural down to tbe pre?
sent time, the Governor has stood
squarely and firmly upon the platform
upon whiob bis party placed him.
But those who were to assist bim, to
stand by him aud carry out the pledges
of that platform and fulfil its pro?
mises?whore are they to-day? Fail?
ing utterly iu their legislative capaoity
to carry out the wholesome and needed
roforms recommended so earnestly by
the administration?throwing every
possible obstacle in the pathway of re?
formation?tho language of their con?
duct plainly says we intouded to de?
ceive tbe people. Tbe language of the
Governor, so far, has been tbat bis ad?
ministration shall not be a living lie.
For this we honor and admire him.
Tho reading, thinking and honest
public will sUnd by bim, both in and
out of tbe Stute. The people of this
County will give him united support
in any and all efforts to make his ad?
ministration a success, in advancing
tbo best interests of tbo State, and
tbeir full sympathy iu the trying fight
he is making against tbe thieves and
practical traitors of bis purty.
New Yorkers are just now expe?
riencing their annual panic about tbe
execrable quality of Crotou water.
Sayn the Herald:
"Men who could face a cannon's
mouth pour out their glasses of water
at their breakfast tables and hesitate
before they drink. Tbodreud of Bubtlo
and noxious poisons, distilled from ull
tbo dangerous aud deadly weeds in tbo
thousands of sluices between hero und
Croton Lake, creates a now and name?
less horror iu the inner consciousness.
To drink under the name of Croton
water tbe compound extract of tbe
deadly nightshade and the harmful
dog fennel, and then to sit down with
a bottle of antidote, while tho poison
is felt orawling toward oor vitals,
would doubtless afford only merri?
ment to the German servant. But to
tbe praotical New Yorker, who, as a
rule, wants nor expeots nothing for
whioh he does not pay, the experiment
partakes of anxiety rather than cu?
riosity."
We can understand, then, why New
Yorkers spend $66,700,000 on wbiskey
every year. _
A New York letter, of Monday, says:
"The spring trade is reported to be
progressing favorably now in all di?
rections. It only req'ulres a few days'
steady weather to set all the wheels in
motion. The various forwarding lines
oosetwise have as mnch freight as they
can conveniently handle. With the
Eastern 8tates the free movement of
merobandise is partionlariy notioeablo.
Large quantities of manufactured
goods are coming this way, both by
steamer and rail. Tbe Savannah,
Charleston and New Orleans steamers
also report inoreasing business."
Joseph Chase recently died at Now

Consumptives, Take Notice.?
Every moment of delay makes your
cure more hopeless, aud much dopende'
on tbe judicious choice of a remedy.
The amount Of testimony in favor of
Dr. Soheoek's Polmonio Syrup, aa a! -
cure for consumption, far exceeds: all
that can be brought to support the
pretensions of any other medicine.
See Dr. Scbenck'a Almaneo, contain?
ing the certificates of many persons of
the highest respectability, who have
been restored to health, after being
pronounced incurable by physicians of
acknowledged ability. Schonck'oPol?
monio Syrup alone has oared many, as ?
these evidences will show; but the
core is often promoted by the employ- '
ment of two other remedies whioh Dr.
Sobenok provides for tho purpose.
These additional remedies are
Sobonck's Sea Weed Tonic and Man?
diake Pills. By the timely use of
these medicines, according to direc?
tions, Dr. Sobeuok certifies that most
auy case of consumption may be cored.
Dr. Sohenok is professionally at his
principal office, corner Sixth and Aroh
streets, Philadelphia, every Monday,
where all letters for advice must be ad?
dressed. _Feb 12f3
The Gbeat Anti-Periodic?-The
certainty and promptitude with whioh
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters conquer
the most obstinate oases of malarial
disease, and tbe complete protection
whioh they afford the system against
the miasmatio poison wbioh 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 the bottom lands
of the South, the new olearioge and
mining distriots of the West, and in
all localities in the Eastern and Middle
States where malaria prevails, tbe Bit?
ters are recognized as the only true
specific for the disease, and its most
reliable preventive. They are, more?
over, a safe and agreeable, as well aa a
certain, remedy; and on this account,
are immeasurably anperior to the pre?
parations ot quinine, arsenic, bismuth
and other mineral poisons mistakenly

oausod by miasma, and whiob, i! per?
sisted in, work irreparable injury to .

Unfortunately, fever and ague, and
the other febrile complaints generated
by miasma, arc not tbe only evils
whioh result from it. A g?eat* variety,
of disorders are superindoosd by that
irritation whioh git causes. Among
these1 are nenralgia/rhenmatiam, gout, '
periodical hpadaohe;palpitation, pain?
ful affections of theSpleen, and various
aerangementa of the stomach. Wheat'
traoeable to malaria, Ihe above affec?
tions are apt to aesumo, like the disr .
ease which originated them, an inter
mittent type; that is to say, they recur
at regular intervals. HoBtetteYs Bit?
tere, however, obviates them all, by
banishing the miasmatio virus from
the system. MtrUfOflv
