FOILJ. C. LUDLOW & CO.
AT THE
Lowery Wagon Factory
Is a purely vegetable bitter and powerful
tonic, and is warranted a speedy and cer
tain cure .for Fever and Ague, Chill*
and Fever. Intermittent or Chill
Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, and all
malarial disorders. In iniAsmatic dis
tricts, the rapid pulse, ooatjed tongue,
thirst, lassitude, loss of appetite, pain in
the back and loins, and coldness of the
spine and extremities, are only premoni
tions, of severer symptoms which termin
ate in the ague paroxysm, *nceeeded by
high fever and profuse perspiration.
It is a startling fact, that quinine, ar
senic, sad other poisonous minerals form
the liasis of most of the “ Fever and Ague
Preparations,’ ’ “Spaeifieo,” " Syrups,”
and “ Tonics,” in the market. The prep
arations made from these mineral poisons,
although they are palatable, and may
break the chill, do not care, but leave the
malarial and their own dmg poison in
the system, producing nuinism, dizsiness,
ringing in-the cars, headache, vertigo, and
other disorders more formidable than
the disease they were intended to cure/
Ayer’s Ac.ue Cure thoroughly eradicates
these noxious poisons from the system,
and always cure* the severest cases. It-
contains no quinine, mineral, or any thing
that could injure the most delicate pa
tient; and its crowning excellence, above
■its certainty to cure, is that it leaves the
system as free from disease as before the
attack.
For Liver Complaints, Ayer’s Aoue
Cure, by direct action on the liver and
biliary apparatus, drives out the poisons
. whioh produce theafi. coBfflalots. and.
stunulatos tire system to» a vigorous,
healthy condition.
Wo warrant it when taken according
to directions.

The report of Gen. Johnson Hagobd,
Comptroller GeueruT, lor rtio pa»t fis
cal year opens with a statement of the
publlo debt iif the Slate,_wIdoh glvee a
iritai ttrUcmgimegg nf $T,lT9,4S4 91, in
which is indubed the amount of the
bonds affected by the recent decision
of the State Supreme Court, .viz: the
whole Issue of the relief of Treasury
bonds, $899,000, the whole original
second issue of the bonds for interest
ou public debt, $1,000,000, with all the
outstanding ictetest ou those issues,
whether funded or unfunded. The
several Items of the public Debt, as
given in the Comptroller’s statement,
are as follows: Cousolidwteed hoods
and stocks funded to November 1,
1879, less the bonds retired by the
choking Fund Commission In 1879,
$9688,040 90; amount rt-tmthdng to bc
consolidated, at Ijs consolidated value,
$580,914 54;-cei tlfica)( 8 of Claims Com
idlsuion, $501,535 93; unpaid interest,
l«s« amount received In Treasury,
$444,054 45.
The total net receipts of the year
are given at $054,726 71, which, added
to $224,277 38 in the Treasury Novem
ber 1.1878, gives a total of $879,004 09,
The total expenditures were $635,516 5,
leaving a balance in the Treasury No
vember 1. 1870, of $243,488 04, or $19,-
210 66 more than there was at the be
ginning of the fiscal year. Of the
•243,438 04 balance in the Treasury,
$231873 67 is reserved for interest,
taxes paid under protest aud for the
educational fund, having obly $8,614
37 unreserved on November 1. There
has b-'en paid in since November 1
$81,797.iiLmakiog a total of $90,412 04,
of which there is due for various pur
_ 6(ie4,#Vi;3l)2 hi, teaWAg fh ihe Tifcai
ury a stirpkte to he applied tothe ex-
pensea of this fiscal year of $75,549 11.
Among the receipts the following
net am mute are worthy of not*: Ou
account of ba< k taxes 1875 to 1877, In
elusive, $318,197 12r on account of for
felted landH. $42,347 27; getiTnl taxes
1878, $161,370 53; Fhosphate Royalty.
$93,951 51.
Of the expenditures it nFvy be noted
that tiit-re was paid on old Hccmiut
$114 9C9 42. Of the current expenses
the following are the principal items :
Executive Department, $38,343 68; Ju
dicial Department, $53,260 41; Legis
lative Department. $4'),750 95; Health
Department, $5 850; Educational De
partment, $10 167 53; Tax Department,
318,025 13; Penitentiary, $47,053 30;
Lunatic Asylum, $71,200; Deaf, Dumb
and Blind Asylum, $9,718 70; Catawba
Indians, £800; Palmetto Home, $600;
Colored Oiphan Asylum, $330; Ad
justment ot the Public Debt, $199,144
30; State Agricultural Society, 81,250;
Fish Commission, $800; Miscellaneous
Accounts, 114,634 24.
In regard to tuxes,It maybe noticed
that the poll tux Yielded $97,597,
against $102 974 for preceding fiscal
yoar. It will ba seen that, upon the
assessment of 3135,284, 048, a levy of
one mill yielded into the Treasury
l?110,101 67 3. The taxes for the fiscal
year 1878-79 were levied upon an as-
se-tsmankof $118,479,851, and one mill
the same proportion should yield
iota the (State Trane ury about ^100,-
350. J he levy for State purposes was
two and three quarter mills, aud the
sum to tie paid into ttre State Treas
ury should reach, when fully collected,
$275,962. Up to the 10ih November
there has been paid in the sum of
$243,168 25, leaving ef the tex**s of the
rear just closed the sum of $32,793 75
yet to be received.
lu rtgard to expenditures for the
coming year the Comptroller says: An
estimate of supplies for_t lie support
of the Government for 1879-80, includ
ing legislative expenses, on basis of
the last session, but excluding interest
on public debt, shows a
Total atpount of $279,770 00

I From the Jiyw York Herakt]
The bttik Monrovia, Copt. Rtchnrd-
aou, which arrived from Liberia: lost
week, having h-ft Monrovia September
21, btought eighteen colored passen
gers.- T’Uey were a pat t.of the ill-star-
red ship, toad of nmigraoU
Charleston, for the Libeliun Republic
on Easier Buuduy, 1878, in the bark
Az ir. As soon as the reluruiug pil
grims arrived In New Yoik they were
transferred to the cats and started at
once for Unix old homes in Houlh
Carolina. Yesterday Oapt. Richardson
gave a reporter many details of their
ioug story ; of suffering and unhappi
ness, only the opetdug. chapters of
which have been published In this
country. The returning party includ
ed three families and several single
adults. Their friends in the country
sent them money with which to pay
thifir passage batTFlo their old homes.
They ofry there's not one of the Azor’s
jParty that would not gladly come back
if they could raise funds for the Jour
ney. A more diaconteuted, miserable
lot of people can hat dly be imagined
ibnn those unfortunates, who have
found many more graves than homes
la the young colored repub.ic.
It will be lemi mbtred that of the
370 exodists who started on the Azt r
twenty-nine died for lack of proper
provision for their health and comfort
oeforo they reached Monrovia. Borne
tnirty or forty have been able to return
to ibis country. Of the thfee hundred
and over mn doing there are now on
ly about fcixty persons vtihre. The
climatic fever, which attacks ail
strangers in the country, is seldom
fatal if fhs patient lias proper treaV
oient and is fairly supplied wi'h the
essentials of comfort. But these poor
wretohte wer? tmeaYet ;H>e» paupew
when they lamtid*in Liberia. They
hod no food, shelter nor medicine, ex
cept wbat was inadequately doled out
by the government or by the poor set
tlers of Monrovia. The result Is that
they have perished by scores until only
a remnant of the band remains. The
survivors are now inured to the
climate, aud the most of them are at
last self-supporting. But none of
them ate Varbiug mors than tho scan
tiest subsistence.
Tho Azot’s |>arty landed at Monrovia
iu the beginning of the rainy season.
No ehtiter bad bees prepared for
them, and so the three hundred and
forty-odd souls were of necessity
crowded into a lot of dilapidated and
abandons 1 houses near the beach.
The Liberian Government, contrary ta
ils practice, took some measures for
their relief, and some money was takes
from the treasury to buy tlieuv-teed
and medicines. The only (.Id which
the Government, as a rule, extends to
immigrants is to give twenty-five acres
of laud to the head of eveiy family,
«n4 to every male adult ten acres.
Oapt. Richardson says this Government
grant has been to most Immigrants of
no advantage whatever, as it takes
some capital to improvs the land, and
very tew of tho new comers have
money enough to buy implements with
which to develop the smallest coffee
farm.
Capt. Richardson says the immigrants
fresh from this country have little or
no chance of employment in Monrovia.

were many other able addresses dur
ing the Convention. The usual rou
tine business was gone through, when
a resolution In behalf of the Furman
tJhtveredy was offered, and brought
forth many able addresses. There
have been bonds given by private
individuals to the amount of $240,000
as an vodownu nt fund, but hundreds
have failed tven to pay the interest on
these bonds.
Hon. E B. Murray, of Anderson, Ib
the course of his remarks, said that
the inte/est alone now amounts to
$30,000, aud would relieve the institu
tion of ail debts, If paid at once. The
resolutions we»e unanimously adopted

There were manv
from other States, among them Dr.
Dickinson, of the Religious Herald,
who Is renowned for his wit and humor,
and seems to hold an audience com
pletely under Lis control. Dr. Good-
►peed, of tho Benedict Institute for
the colored preachers, in Columbia,
S. O., was present, and heartily wel
comed. Ou Sunday afternoon there
was a Sunday School mass meeting
presided ovir. by the Rev. A. W.
Lamar, in which many addresses were
delivered in behalf of Sunday Schools.
Every church, both wb|te and colored,
except the Episcopal, was supplied
morning aud evening by visiting mla-
ibters. Dr. Chambliss preached in the
tnorniug, and Dr. Hldeo, In the even
ing In the Baptist Church. Tke latter
preached one of the most wonderful
and p«>. uUar eormons I have ever tte-
tesed to. Tha Convention adjourned
off Sunday nlcht to meet at Camden,

Thera were hundreds of fair ladiea
whose beauty lias already broken the

sorry, Mr. Editor, tbat you weve not

Besides this, the Kroos, a native tribe,
who, the Captain says, lack only civil

can negro, with two or three to provide
for, requires. The American emigrants
have not been able to go to the couu-
tty, and the able-bodied among them
have supplied no element of streagtb
that the town needed. There were very
few arilsaus in their number, aud the
most were drawn from tha commonest
ranks of Southern field bauds. They
have done nothing yet to identify them
with the country or the intcrt'sU of
its people, and tbs only hope they
cherish is that some happy chance will
enable them to come back to America.
