'B by -Messrs. Meetze, Pinokney, Hirsch,
' Xtakhoku. and Elliott. Mr. Meetze re- |
viewed several of the positions of the
"Xrausurer's counsel, disputing their nc
%esu*acy, and maintaining the, ground
A-ften hy him as a member of the joint
-fiannnittce which had made the investi
m into the treasury, upon which the
(areas for removal was based. He coui
tted the idea that an office is the pri
.'-rate property of an incumbent, except
' sin -a technical sense; responsibility al
attnohes to holding office. Tho
fyof'pfceyirig'an Act of the Legisln
?which Vfoe tho warrant claimed for
?o action of the Treasurer in 1 funding
pSjfatttn doubtful bonds, rested hof solely
. 'I naptm its letter or its terms. It was not!
: '--^eiuUly known in Deoember, 1873,
|he. funding Act was passed, that
hypothecated bonds "wore out,'but
tjtoi Treasurer knew it, and knew their
fgjibfractfsj . Ho should have construed
tksj Act'iri the light of the facts which he
,y_vnew. Mr. M. also showed a oon
tion between the construction put
jap*n the Treasurer's obedience to tho
r of one law in funding, and his de?
an from it in another, in diverting
pablie funds. He referred again to
interest account between 1867 and
AM3^, and presented an estimate of the
Ttut af the public debt, and the into- ]
ttpoh it accruing in that time, and
?*b? ived the payments made for interest
tit} lave been in excess of its amount
wn : po,000. He closed his speech with
a. vi fefence to the overwhelming torrent |
<-?f corruption and fraud which had
vficnited over this State. It was so ovcr
whi lnlfm*, in iiiet, that the' Republican
ft^jl'sijj yf bad been compelled to come De?
ft Caz< the people with admissions of it,'
'?" j*3\i with enh-eaties to be forgiven und
* pie* ed in power once more, .upon their
N ?rw. ?|?ea of mcia honest behavior. All
? ^jtsari tos were thus committed to a reform
3j**I -y, to the stem requirement of
ity to obligations and clean bands in
da on the. part of all who were pro
to them. It is now to be put to
iest whether this profession is. sin
or'not, whether we are. acting on
le or standing on shifting sands

to the diversion of the interest money,
acquitting tho ? Treairarer* with inten?

address for his removal, j
Mr. Elliott followed in an earnest
argument upon the constitutional aspects
of the case, vindicating the proceeding
by address for removal as strictly parlia?
mentary, and a branch of the form of|
impeachment
At the evening session, Mr. Elliott eon-|
tinned his agument, an extra hour hav?
ing U?n voted to him by the House, and
concluding with a summarized statement
of the points he had established, and with
some appropriate and eloquent remarks
upon the principles of justice us involved
in the issues he had discussed. Mr.
Sum. Greene followed on the some side.
The previous question was then called
und sustained. The main question was
then put, and tho vote resulted in 15 yeas
and ''>?! nays.
The Bonanza.
We have no idea that the bill to provide
for tho settlement and redemption of cer?
tain claims against tho State?the bo?
nanza?can become a law, notwithstand?
ing the vote in the House in favor of the
.Speaker's construction, that it had so bo
come a law by reason of the Governor's
delay in returning it to the House. The
objections to the bill itself, to its form of ]
passage into law as claimed, arc too many
and weighty to stand the test. Those
?who have been appointed Commissioners
under it, had better tit onco resign func?
tions in connection with it as it now
Btands, which they cannot administer
with acceptance to the people or with
credit to themselves.
A Social Infamy. ?During several days |
of last week there was in session in the
godlv city of Boston a free-love con?
vention. Boston is a favorite meeting
Since for the adherents of the peculiar
octrine of universal bawdyLsm. The
freo-love doctrines attained tlieir life on !
New England eoil, and the Massaohu-1
celts metropolis is annually scandalized I
by the utterances of the apostles of the
S'stcm. Few people outside the range of
lese revolution ist? can adequately eon-1
eoive tho nature of one of these meetings.
They ore composed, as might be sup?
posed, altogether of passe? females and
middle-aged men, soured with the world
end with themselves. Young men and
young women are frequently to he found
In attendance, although the women in
usually of that age and condition of I
facial decay which renders them safe from
insult. The meeting last week took j
fhtce in the Paine Memorial Hall, a j
uilding recently erected to the memory
Of Tom Paine, the infidel. Many of the
Boston proprietors of public halls have,
of late years, refused, very properly, to
let their rooms to the free-lovers. The j
Paine Memorial Hall supplied the de-j
fleiency, and thither the apostles went.
The first business was the annual pass?
age of resolutions. These resolutions
were to the effect that marriage is a curse,
and advocate the levy of a tax on all the I
property of the nation to provide for the
children born out of wedlock. This is |
the underlying principle of the whole
free-love movement. A Mrs. Briggs, of!
New York, innde a speech full of pro?
nounced lewdnsds, and stated that she J
had four children nnjl was very desirous j
of having a good many more", but she
did not have time for them. Other reso-)
lutions were passed condemning prudery j
in relation to the sexes, and marriage as
"destructive of ? domestic korinony."'
From the Boston News we extract the fol?
lowing from a report of the meeting:
"A couple of strong-minded females;
now passed around the boxes to collect
the shekels from the audience. At the I
same time, a Shaker. Miss Mary Knights, I
dressed in extravagant costume, and cur-1
rying a little cane in her hand, took the j
platform, shook out tho shirts of her,
bloomer garment, and went to work.
She related her experience among the
Shakers, sung a Shuk< r song, and then
subsided. A maiden lady, of uncertain
ag". well known in a certain suburban
town as "Old Liz Crosby," inflicted
some rhymes upon the audience, and ex?
pressed her wish to have the mce played
out. The speaker is evidently doing all j
she can to hasten this consummation, i
The performer in tights next skipped
forward briskly to the platform. This I
was Mary E. Tillotson, of Yineland, who!
was dressed in men's clothes, anil wore a [
?jockey hat and feather.' Her topie was ,
a dress reform, and. as with her right
hand sbr gently fondled the bust of
Paino ou tho platform, she assaulted the
aUdience with such words as 'practical- j
ized,' ?individualizution,' 'basic, and the
like. Mr. Barker, of California, sang a
song at the lost speaker, and then John
Romsdell spoke, and soon got excited in
his' opposition- to free-love. Brother I
Heywood couldn't keep quiet, and sent
in the first conundrum of the day. The
speaker was indignant, and went for
Heywood, and for a few moments there
was quite a breeze of excitement about a
man beating his wife, and vice versa, (as
Father Cluer suggested,) divorce, Ac. A
woman askod the audience to repress
their risibilities while the speaking was
going on. Mrs. Jones, of Acton, said
she had been married twenty-nine years,
and her husband had never commanded
her. He knew too well that she would
not obey. This remark was emphasized
with a compression of the mouth and a
snap of the eye that excited the sympa
thy of the audience for the husband."
... This is all very disgusting. It. is the
Unveiling of a moral ulcer. It shocks the
sensibilities of every pnre-mindcel man
and wOU)'on in the country. ;
There is but little credence placed at
Ornaha, Neb., on tho stories of the
miners from the Black Hills. It is gene?
rally considered as a movement of Inte?
rested towns, which hope to reap a har?
vest in fitting out people. The Interior
Department nt Washington, however,'in
view Ol,the tendency .of emigration, hob
taken steps to bring to the national capi?
tal a delegation of the Hionx proprietors
Of the soil, for the purpose of negotiating
for the extinguishment of their right.

of said sureties have become embarrassed
in business, and to the best of your com?
mittee's information and lielief, others
have little or no property in their own

the State Treasurer has failed, as re?
quired by law, to secure other sureties to
his official bond, in place of the person
who has died, or those who have an in?
sufficiency of estate. The committee are
clearly of the opinion that the required
bond* of the State Treasurer is
tolally insufficient, and should he
increased as was the bonds of County
Treasurer's, by an Aot of the Legislature,

commend the immediate passage of an

it ha? been supposed that in that un?
steady sort of proceeding, known as the
march of civilization, the simple anil
gorous manners of the ancient time
had been left behind. A California tale
would appear to prove that a misbike.
A Saii.Pnutciscant wont from bis home,
like Enoch Arden, and stayed away long
years, giving no sign. The gentle Annie,
left pining in solitary* state, at last be?
lieved him dead and wedded an entreat?
ing Philip. Hut Enoch was not. dead;!
I one day, returning to the town, he found !
his Annie seated at another's hearth.
He was not at all unhappy: his resolve
upbore him. Not weakly did he say, "I
will go hi nee and trouble her no more"
He was determined to arrange affairs for]
that Philip, and accordingly he cried,
-What, bo! Come on!" Philip came on
?with two soft, persuasive pistols.
The gentle Annie, joying in the sight,
iiereeived her Enoch was unarmed.
Quickly she ran to bring a bowio knife,
and laid it on the rloor: then brought!
two pistols, and there laid thei.i, too.
not daring to go nearer the combatants.
And so the tight went on, the lovely
Annie smiling in the background.
Wounds ami goro abounded before the
police appeared and stopped th< stern
encounter. Philip and Enoch are in the
dry hospital, and Annie, who is de-1
serib"d as extraordinarily homely, is
proltably preparing a lecture on th" af?
fair.
A comparison of the nfticiiil ret ains it
the N *w Hampshire election with the
of 1M7-1. fails entirely to show any sign,
of that "reaction"' upon which the Re-1
publican party papers made haste to con-1
gmtulatc themselves. Seldom, indeed, I
is a political battle more completely des-1
titute of positive results. The aggregate '
vote for Governor. 79,202, is greater by I
7,727. a little over ten per cent., than the j
corresponding vol ? of last vent, and the j
gain is divided almost evenly between the J
two parties. The Republican vote is in- I
creased from 'II, 13K to 39,280, a gain of I
5,147; but tin: tcmpuniliee vote has fallen j
oil from 2,139 to 7">1, and as most .if the j
missing votes wore undoubtedly trans?
ferred to the Republican candidates, the
proportion of the reserve vote received
by the latter is not much above :l,SM0.
On the other hand, the Democratic vote
is increased from 35,598 to :"'.), a gain
of 5.025, so that the Democrats have, at
least, quite held their own. In tin' Cou
Igrcssiotial districts, they have done more
than this, fn 1873, the aggregate vote i
for the three Republican candidates for
Congress was 3:1,l*S3, and for the Demo?
cratic, candidates, :l:>, 113. This year the
total Republican vote for Congressmen
i rises to 33,943, and the Democratic vote
to 39,288. So large (l vote is remarkable
in an "n!f year," and it shows how in?
tense is the public interest just now in
l national politics, ?/'hilwlvljmltt 7bixw.
Mr. M-nitt Galley, of Rochester, New
ork, it is claime 1. has invented, and
now has on exhibition at Washington, a
telegraphic instrument for automatic
tn>!iMuLs.siou. in which the objections
urged ag;.in*t the automatic in common
a-' seein t * be entirely obviated. The in?
vention is emphatically "automatic," a
single operator with a key-board not only
preparing and accumulating the message I
matter for transmission, but at will i
transmitting any portion of the same to j
its proper destination, having perfect j
control of his entire work, oven over a'
number of lines, while sitting at a single
instrument. He also exhibits an instru?
ment which require.* no perforated mes?
sage strip, but by means of a peculiar
but simple mechanism, accumulates mes?
sage after message, held within the in?
strument until such time as the line can
bo secure 1. when, by the stroke of a
single key. tliov itr- sent into the line
complete. If this latter feat has been
accomplished, then we are soon to wit?
ness a revolution in the science of tele?
graphy.
A rather stout black man, giving his
name as John Hunter, appeared at the
Washington City Police Court, recently, I
and asked for a warrant agailist ('arter A. i
Stewart, the well known colored barber '
and hair-dresser at Willord's, for alleged
violation of the provisions of the Civil
Rights Bill. His request was refused,
because barber-shops are not included in
the schedule of inns, theatres, Ac. Ho
then appeared before District Attorney
Fisher, nnd that ofilcer made out the in?
formation, ut the same time informing
him thnt the case did not, in his opinion,
eomo under the law; and on this infor?
mation, he asked for a warrant, which
was a second time refused. He charges
that on Wednesday last, ho went to
Stewart's barber-shop and asked that his
j hair be trimmed, but Stewart refused to
allow it to be done in his shop, on the
ground that waiting on colored men
would injure the business of his estab?

Work fob Yot'ng Men. We note the
arrival in our city of Rev. George A. Hall
and Mr. Thomas K. Crec, of Wushington,
D. ('., whoso visit to our city is to awaken
an interest in work for young men. They
come as representatives of the Young
Men's Christian Association, an organi?
zation that is accomplishing much good
in all sections of this and other coun?
tries. An exchange says:
"We had to idea that the organization
was so strong in numbers and their work
so varied. There arc at the present time
'.?30 different associations, which own pro?
perty to the amount of $'2,500,000. They
keep consbintly employed, for the exclu?
sive work of the association, 75 men in
the capacity of general secremries. Eacl
organization-is entirely independent
the manner tof devising its own mea
and plans for carrying on thgir worl
The association has greatly increase
dnring the post three years. * The objec
of the association is to reach voting me
with Christian influences, and in doir
so. save many who have no home
family associations. A surprising fact j
that none of these associations have
come denominational, but welcoming
active member* all young men, ho m.i
ter to what church their preferences
cline them, they have brought your!
men together socially, opened to their!
knock reading-rooms tilled with good as?
sociations and innocent amusements?
giving them the bcuslit of lectures, mu- .
sical entertainments, and otherwise much
improving the young men with whom
they come in contact. This, however, is
not all for which this noble association
exists; for underlying is u steady effort to ,
culminate their membership into a strong
and perfect horaionv with the church of
God."
Services, conducted by Messrs. Hall
and Cree, will be held in the different
churches, this morning, afternoon and
evening, and weliope they will receive
the hearty co-operation of the Christian
people of our city.

A Trim* or Evils.?If weakness of tho
stomach is allowed to beome chronic,
the following evils supervene: Digestion
is permanently impaired, the system is
very imperfectly nourished, the blood
becomes thin and watery, and the bile -
being unemployed for digestive and eva
cuative purposes, enters the circulation
through the thorn tic duct, and injects
itself into the supernejal vessels, giving
to the skin and whites of the eyes the
saffron tinge indicative of billionsness.
Headache, nausea, constipation, pains in
the side, palpitations, heartburn, dizzi?
ness and many other harrassing symp?
toms which accompany the internal de?
rangement above described, which, if un?
checked, is as surf to be followed by
serious disease, as the rising of the sun
by its setting. It is manifest, therefore,
that an inability of the stomaoh to , act
upon the food should be overcome with?
out delay. The invigorating influence
upon that organ of Hoetetters Stomach
Bitters is speedily$*\% in the disappear?
ance of all the disagreeable symptoms, al?
luded to. The proscribed mineral reme?
dies for general demlity usually fail ,to
achieve any lasting result, because they
do not invigorate the stomach; Hoetet?
ters Bitters always succeed because that
is their primal efleot. The t*ry f*et that
they are such mat e xe ell en t stomach id con?
stitutes them one of the best general
tonics in existence. To restore digestion
is the final step towards the recovery of
health', when impaired by any of tho
multifarious oormplaints which spring
from dyspepsia, and that step will be
found to have been taken by the lnval
who has availed himself of this faxno
anti-dyspeptic remerty.1' ' Mt9f3Tt
