We thought It liael taste, too, and we
askeel a gentleman whose every emo
tion Is attuned to Christaln gener
osity, why It wus done. Said he,
Why can you ask? Did you not,
in an editorial last we*e*k, Suggest tlint
instead of bestowing gifts generally
on tlie children, we should hunt out
the poor and bestow our generosity
on them? Well, on Christmas day I
heard of several parties who were on
the verge of starvation. On Sunday
the children had been advised to save
each a nickel. You all, who may
have been at tlie extreme end of tlie
ehurcli may not have heard, but it
was distinctly announced that the
contribution wns for tlie i>oor of
Columbus. The heart wus too
full of the distress just
heard to explain, nnd it would have
been a cruelty to have done so. Bath
er than do that we risked the miscon
struction, tbt* odium of bad taste, and
of I icing misjudged every way; but
the contribution was a handsome
one, and tlie hearts of the poverty-
stricken have lwon made so happy.”
We asked no more. God knows
the suffering of those who have been
comparatively rieli and are now re
duced to poverty. Let each one who
contributed anything on Tuesday
night at St.' Luke’s festival, and
thought tlie collection in bud taste,
remember that with their mite they
perhups have aided in saving human
souls in their own city.
KFFlKTN OF FIIRINTMAN.
Our’s was a beautiful day. The
gloomy habit of tlie skies that for a
week hud shrouded tlie world van
ished, and bright sunshine came from
unclouded skies to welcome thounnl-
ersary of tlie birth of the < 'lirist-
chlld. Heurts were made glud by
Santa Claus, St. Nicholas, and tlie
other divinities of infantile worship.
To those of maturer growth kinder
feelings were established. To others,
heart-warm responses sprung at tin*
reception of a gift, not because of its
value, but t!(c tender thought thut
prompted remembrance. Be lie high
or low, rich or dud hi poverty—a
class front teacher or instructor from
pupils, when in Die glad Christmas
time Is received tlie token of esteem
or affection, the soul thrills to the
responsive throb of happiness, and
echos to the pulsation of tlie thought
that we on earth are not alone. The
ognltion of one in tin* glad Christ
mas time has caused many to repeat
the old Imt beautiful idea:—
' Image Ih graven on my breast,
pure than e’er could highest art
On steel oreunvass place It;
For when In death that, heart’s at rest,
And earth to earth Is God's holiest,
Thou, then, In dust nmy trace It.

Mr. Goldsmith: “You must know
in Die first place that for several
years taxes on wild landB were not
collected with any sort of efficiency.
When I came Into office the amount
paid Into the State from this source
was -only about $0,000 jier an
num. It now runs up to
$20,000 or $25,000 ]ier annum. I
have pushed these collections very
vigorously lieeause It Juts been the
aim of the |«iHt few Legislatures to
put a tax upon everything—even
down to the kitchen utensils of a
jioor widow. I felt, therefore, that it
was a duty, solemnly incumbent
upon me, to make every piece of
property bring Its proper proportion
Into tlie Treasury. I have, as you
nee, about quadrupled the receipts
from this one source.” "There
is some complaint, Mr. Goldsmith,
about your having taken some of
those parties unawares.” “I do not
see how that charge can stand, or
how It can even be made. In the
first place let me say that I have
nothing whatever to do with the
making of laws. It is merely my duty
to see thut those put under my
hands ure faithfully carried out. I
have certainly waited long enough
for this money, .due the State, and
urgently jjeedod. I huve been press
ed time and again by leading legisla
tors, by finanee committees and by
prominent men everywhere to hurry-
up tiiese collections. I huve given
tin* ]HJople all tlie time tliut I dared
to, under my conception of my duty,
because I wns afraid that Die law
might oppress too severely if rushed
into execution. Wc have waited
over three years, and yet they have
not paid. Many of them do not in
Is tpe owner of wild lands sold for
taxes, and as many false and fraudu
lent owners will, perhaps, try to im
pose on you in order to get sucli
moneys, and as the law gives the true
owners twelve months after sales to
come forward and redeem their lands
thus sold by paying purchase money,
all cost and interest ut twenty l>er
eeutuni per annum, I think it would
lie best to take a good and legal bond
from all persons to whom you pay
such moneys, conditioned to repay
same within twelve months, If proper
authorities decide that another Is tlie
true owner.
THE PURCHASERS OF THE FI. FAS.

"I could only answer that question
by referring to my luniks. There are
fifteen or twenty of them.”

“Oh, yes j they take them up us a

“How many have been thus trans
ferred ?”
“I cant give you tlie exact figures
without consulting. More Oian two-

large amount of land. The law
should be amended so that such trans

Picayune thus reports his expressions
of opinion: "Senator Eustis thinks
tliut Democratic Senators are decided
not to ask any favors from tlie Ad

Democrats to office, but they insist
that when u Republican is appointed

"UjKiti that subject I know noth

Hartford, December 20. — The
Hartford JYmoi this afternoon prints
in ftill tlie iS'ii/i'h article on Jewell, and
gives a rejsirt of an interview with
Jewell, which leaves out of sight alto
gether the fact of Jewell’s connection
with tlu* raid of roughs in 1871. He
says that he sup|x>sed lie made an ap
pointment on Murphy’s recommend
ation on tlie Baltimore and Ohio
Koud, Imt is not certain. Grant, lie
adds, never asked him to apjsiliit any
one on Mr. Murphy's account, and In*
does not think Grant removed him
because of Murphy. Grant, however,
never informed him for wliut reason
he was removed, and lie had only to
infer from attending circumstances,
whieli in* thinks related to Ids inti
macy with Bristow, whom Grant did
not like. In closing, Jewell say
“I feel that while I intended to ap
point Murphy’s friend, and there was
inadvertently a failure to do so, and
Murpliy was offluided, any Influence
he may have um*i| witli Gen. Grant
tn causing my removal, if he had any
cannot reflect iqioii my honor or ofll
eial action. But 1 do not think Mur-
|>ky influenced the removal.”
I have no confidence in any religion
promising joys in another' world at
tlu* expense of liberty and happiness
in tills. At the same time 1 wish to
give to others all the viglits 1 claim
for myself."
Wind punishment, then, is in
flicted upon man for crimes ami
wrongs committed in this life?”
"There is no such tiling as air Intel
lectual crime. No man can commit
a mental crime. To become a crime
It must go beyond thought.”
"Wliot punishment is there for
physical crime?”
“Such punishment ns is necessary
to protect society and for tin* reforma
tion of the criminal."
“If there is only punishment In this
world, will not some escape punish
ment ?"
“I admit that all do not seem to he
punished as they deserve. 1 also
admit tliat all do not seem to be re
warded as they deserve; and there is
iu Diis world, ap)>ureiiDy, as great a
failure In the matter of reward as in
the matter of punishment. If there
is another life, a man will la* happier
there for having acted according to
his highest ideal ill this. But 1 do
not discern iu nature any effort to do
justice."
meet me oil tlie street ulid laugh in
my face and tell me gently tliat they
did not intend to pay taxes on their
wild lands, and tliat they could
not lie forced to do it. As to the no
tice given—Unit inis certainly been
ample—I have advertised tlie list in
the Constitution once a week for four
weeks, and have sent out bushels of
circulars and letters. I have sent
nine circulars, containing a print of
every defaulted lot of luud to every
county In Die Htate, and lagged tliut
they tic posted up conspicuously.
This was all tliat [ could do. It wiis
much more than J was bound to do
under tlie law. As to the Issuing of
tlie ft fan., I wus of course compelled
to do that. It was my plain duty,
positively and peremptorily set
forth."
Reporter—“There has been some
complaint made about your transfer
of these H fas. to outside parties?”
Mr. G.—“Yes, and thut seems to lie
tin* first of tlie complaint. It is im-
portant that I should be exact here,
and I will quote the law, viz: ‘When
ever any person, other than the per
son ugiiinst whom tlie same has is
sued, shall pay any execution issued
for State, county or municipal tuxes,
or any other execution issued without
(he judgment of u court, under any
law, the officer whose duty it is to
enforce said execution siiall, uixm tlie
request of Die party so paying tlie
same, transfer said execution to said
party; and said transferee shall have
tlie same rights us to enforcing said
execution and priority of payment as
might have been exercised or claimed
tierore suid transfer.’—Code 1873, see.
891. This law seeinH plain enough to
any one, hut I desired to he doubly
sure of my duty before I went all cad.
Consequently when a gentleman of
fered me the money upon u. tl fa,, with
Die cost, and demanded tliat I should
transfer it to him, I declined to do so
until I had consulted the Attorney
General. He promptly gave me an
opinion, which wus positive nnd con
clusive. I append it herewith, with
oilier questions submitted to his Ex
cellency tlie Governor, for the opin
ion of tlie Attorney General by tlie
Comptroller General, is the following
and Ids reply:
‘Question—Section 891 provides for
tin* transfer of‘any execution issued
for State, county or municipal taxes,
or any other execution without tlie
judgment of n Court, under any luw,’
to nny person ujion-payment of game.
'Will' this section cover fl. fas. Issued
by Comptroller-General for tax on
unreturned wild lands?’ ‘Reply of
Attorney-General to second ques'tinn
of Comptroller-General whether sec
tion 891 of the Code will cover 11. fas.
Issued liy Comptroller-General for
tux On unreturned wild lands: Tliat
section is very broud, applying to any
execution Issued for the State, county
or municipal taxes, or any other exe
cution Issued without the judgment
of a Court under nny law, providing
tliut the officer whose duty it Ih to en
force tin* same shall, upon tlie request
of the party so paying the same, trans
fer said execution, etc. No reason oc
curs why Oils section should not em
brace tax 11. fus. on wild lnnds, ns well
ns’other tax fl. fas. You six* the de
cision Is positive as to tlie point tliat
tl. fas. against wild lands cun be trniiH-
ferred as other fl. fas.’ Now, if you
will observe the language of the law,
you will set* tliat I really had no dis
cretion. it says that the transfers
‘shall’ la* made. If you were to pre
sent me Die money, at this moment,
due on a thousand tl. fas., I would
have no right to refuse to take your
money and make tlie transfer. ‘Tlie
law is plain, nnd the Attorney-Gener
al’s construction of it leaves iio room
for doubt."
"Would not tin* transfer of their
il fas. subject tlie State to possible loss
under Dlls rule ?” "It coqld not do
so under Du* printed instructions tliat
1 sent out to tlu* sheriffs. 1 was fear
ful that the whole transfer might
somewhat complicate matters, and 1
used a circular of Instructions. The
main ]miut I made wus this : Thai
the hinders of the transferred tl fas.
were not entitled to the surplus that
Die land might bring above taxes and
costs, but that this surplus should go
to the original owner of the land, if
he could U* found, and to Die public
treasury hi ease no owner appeared.
It would, of course, lie held hen* as a
trust fund. 1 notified them that this
applied to all )iartles who had fi fas.
transferred to them by myself. Some
time afterwards 1 was fearful tliat I
had not made this point strong
enough, and 1 Issued a supplementary
circular, as follows:
In paragraph fourth of my circular,
of the 1st Inst., to you, I used this
language: “III all wild lnnds sales,
tlie excess of money over and above
tax and all cost must la* |inid to tlie
owner of the land,if to be found at tlie
time of sale, or if tlie owner is not to
la* found, then said sum of money in
excess of tax and cost must Vie sent to
me, to be deposited In the treasury to
tin* credit of tlie owner, as a trust
fund.”

many cases for-you to determine who

Mr. H. It. Stf.vknh :
In 1872 your Vkoktinf. was recommended
to me; and, yielding to the persuasions of a
friend, I consented to try It. At the time I
was suffering from general debility and
nervous prostration, superinduced by over
work and Irregular hanlts. Its wonderful
strengthening and curative properties seem
ed to affect my debilitated system from the
first dose; and under its povslstent use I rap
idly recovered, gaining more than usual
health and good reeling. Since then r have
not hesitated to give Vf.(?ktink my most
unnnlified endorsement as being a safe,
sure and powerful agent In promoting
health and restoring the wnsted system to
new life nnd energy. Vkoetink is the only
medicine I use, and as long as I live I nevt
expect tb find a better.

Mr. H. R. Htevkns:
Dear Sir—About ten years ago my health
failed through the depleting effects of dys
pepsia; n.*i rly a year later I was attacked
by typhoid fever In Its worst form. It set
tled in my hack, nnd took the. form of a
large deep-seated aheess, which was fifteen
months in gathering. I had two surgical
operations by the best skill In the Htate. but
received no permanent cure. I sutiered
great pain at times, and was constantly
Weakened by a profuse discharge. I also
lost small pieces of bone nt different* times.
Matters ran on thus about* seven years,
till May, 1H74, when a friend recommended
me to go to your ottlce, nnd talk with you
of the Virtue of Vkoktink, I did so, and by
your klndness ; passed through your manu
factory, noting the Ingredients, Ac., by
which your remedy is produced.
By what I saw nnd heard I gained some
confidence In Vkoktink.
•ommenced taking It soon after, but felt
40 from Its effects; still I persevered, and
soon felt it was benetttting me In other re
peals. Yet I did not see the results I de-
Ired till I had taken It faithfully for a little
more than a year, when the difficulty In
the back was cured; und for nine months I
have enjoyed the host of health.
I have In that time gnlned twenty-five
pounds offiesh, being hoavler than ever be
fore In my life, ami I was never more able
' > perform labor than now.
During the past few weeks I had a scrofu
lous swelling as large as my fist gather on
another part of my body.
I took Vkoktink faithfully, and It re
moved it level with the surface in a month.
I think I should have been cured of my
main trouble sooner if I had.taken larger
doses, after having become accustomed to
Its effects.
Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or
kidney disease understand that It takes
time to cure chronic diseases; and, If they
will patiently take Vkoktink, It will,In my
Judgment, cure them.
