THE COMBINED CIRCULATION OF
THE ADVERTISER AND REPUBLICAN
TN TOWN AND COUNTRY IS UNQUES
TIONABLY THE LARGEST IN THE
STATE.
FRIDAY HORNING' FEBRUARY IS, 1874.
The Penitentiary Convicts—.l Perti
nent Suggestion.
Messrs. Grant & Alexander, whom it is
said have made money out ot the convict
laborers of the State, have given notice that
they will throw up the existing contract with
the Governor at the time nominated in the
lease : and in the House of Representatives,
a hill providing for the farming out of the
convicts, is made the special order for to
day. A despatch from Atlanta furnishes
information that the matter will be easily
settled, and in proof ot the assertion, states
that Governor Brown will take one hun
dred convicts to labor in his coal mines. It
is more than probable that there will be
other bidders for these convict laborers,
who may wish to employ them in agricul
tural and other industrial pursuits. This
kind of labor ought to be employed readily,
for the reason that it is certain and reli
able, and for the additional reason, that
after deducting expenses for food, clothing,
guarding, house-room, etc., etc., it can be
obtained at a price which will enable the
hirer to make a clear and handsome profit.
Such has been the experience of the past,
and it would be unfortunate if the State
should return to the old Penitentiary sys
tem, where the burden of expense fell upon
the tax-payers, and a few officials were
made sleek and fat.
Notwithstanding the fact that the crimi
nal laws of the State are enforced with a
dispatch and severity unparalleled in its
history, the accessions to the convict gang
far outnumber the losses by escapes, deaths
and discharges. The lately enfranchised
element is availing itself liberally of the
privilege of going to the penitentiary—a
right and distinction heretofore accorded
only to the Caucassian race.
In this connection. Captain Paine, one of
the Board of County Commissioners, has
made to us a suggestion which strikes us
as being strong and pertinent, and like
everything that emanates from him, full of
practical wisdom; and though it may be
too late to attract the attention of our law
makers, we make it public in order that it
may challenge consideration and discus
sion.
It is in substance this: That every county
should have returned to its treasury the
amount for which the convicts sent from
that county may be hired.
At present the money received from the
hire of the convicts goes into the State
Treasury, and it may be said that this fund
is distributed in the discharge of the public
indebtedness. But Captain Paine's propo
sition seems to us fair and equitable, and
without serious objection against it. The
various counties have to bear the necessary
expenses incurred in pursuing, arresting,
jailing and trying these convicts, and if they
were allowed the money realized from their
hire it would go very far in some cases in
iesening these onerous expenses.
In view of the fact that it now seems
more than probable that these convicts will
not be again leased out in a solid body. The
suggestion might lie extended farther, viz:
that each county should have the right to
farm out its own convicts, controlled only
by a general law looking to the safety of
the orisoners and that care and humanity
which should be accorded them.
The Brunswick mill Albany Railroad
On Wednesday Judge 0. A. Lochra eand
Colonel Thomas S. Snead, attorneys for the
holders of the repudiated bonds, and Col.
Benjamin Lockett, a director of the Bruns
wick and Albany road, waited upon Gov
ernor Smith and made the following verbal
proposition, which they agreed to put in
writing if he would take it into comidera
tjon, to-git:
That the bondholders would return to
the State the three million and three hun
dred thousand endorsed bonds on the
Brunswick and Albany railroad, if the
State would give in return, indorsed bonds
at the rate of fifteen thousand dollars per
mile for the one hundred and sixty-nine
miles of completed road, and to Indorse
bonds to the extent of fifteen thousand
dollars per mile, as the road was completed
from the present terminus at Albany to
Eufaula. The Governor declined to con
gider the proposition until after the Legis
lature had taken some action upon it.
The representatives of the bondholders
then asked an audience of the Finance
Committee, which was granted. The same
evening they appeared before a Finance
Committee of the House and Senate, ana
submitted the same proposition made to
the Governor, which was supported by an
earnest speech from Judge Lochrane.
After a short consultation a vote was taken
on the proposition as offered, and out of
about twenty-seven members of the com
mittee that were present, only two were
found to favor it.
German Immigration.
The complaints of the English papers
that the Germans are elbowing them out of
all the great fields of commerce at home
and abroad are beginning to be echoed in
New York. It has just been announced
that the directors ol'the Hamburg-Amorican
Steamship Company have reduced the
steerage rates to forty-five Prussian
thalers in order to put a stop, indirectly, to
German immigrants taking passage to the
United States by way of England. Not
only this, the German government
it seems have addressed a circular to
the various official journals inform
ing the public of the various disad
vantages of taking the English route, and
suggesting that their own welfare would be
better consulted by patronizing the home
lines. The effect of this proceeding, by and
by, will probably be a corresponding reduc
tion of the fares by the British steamers,
the effect of which will be to greatly stimu
late immigration the coming season. At
present it is very slack, more so, indeed,
than at any period for a great many years
past. As heretofore explained, this is the
uaturai result of the discouragements which
came out of the panic of last fall, and the
general derangement of business and indus
try which followed. Lower fares, however
can hardly fd#*to effect a magical change in
the situation.
Seven hundred and fifty-seven German
immigrants have settled in South Caro
lina since December.
Ex-Governor Jenkins resigned the
Presidency of the Merchants and Planters’
National Bank, and the Presidency of the
Planters’ Loan and Saving Bank of Augusta,
on the 31st ult.
Or.D John Harper, of Woodford county,
Kentucky, the owner of the race horse

Dawes Pitches into the Treasury and
Arraigns its Managements
Washington, February 12.—The feature
in the House to-day was the speech of
Dawes, Chairman of Ways and Means, prin
cipally on tiie condition of the Treasury, in
which he indulged in, as he said, not in
figures of rhetoric but in official figures.
The speech was a severe arraignment of the
financial condition of the country. He
showed a deficit of 13,000.000 which might
bo decreased somewhat, by turning in of
unexpended balances, and criticised
thoroughly tiie previous Congresses of re
cent years for wasteful appropriations, ci
ting several extravagant appropriations.
The Speaker said no party could afford
to go to a country with increased taxation,
but at the same time, that tiie tax on tea
and coffee should be restored, and that on
whiskey and tobacco increased.

A Horrible Undertaking.
The following, on our neighbor, tiie
News, from the Courier-Journal, is so good
we cannot refrain from publishing it:
There was a fierce and ridiculous quar
rel in the newspapers a few years ago
over the authorship of some rhymes en
titled “ All Quiet Along the Potomac To
night,” and seemingly forgetful of how
nearly all newspaper readers were bored
to death before “the vow, the wiot, the
wumpus” could be stopped by that olym
pian official whom the pitying gods so mer
cifully sent down to read the riot act, the
Savannah News threatens a reopening of
the quarrel by volunteering the information,
which can possibly interest nobody, that the
rhymes in question were contributed by Mrs.
Ethel Beers, under the title of “Tiie Picket
Guard,” to Harper’s Weekly for November
30, 1861.
The attempt of Miss Bacon, of England,
seconded by Judge Holmes, of Missouri,
to prove that the plays of Shakespeare
were written by Lord Bacon created no
such row in the literary world as that
kicked up among certain poetasters and
their friends over the authorship of
All Quiet Along the Potomac To-night,’
■•Betsy and I are Out,” and several other
batches of cheap rhymes, wliiqp, happily,
and very naturally, died in childhood, and
would liave remained dead for all time to
come, as any nail in door if fortunately
all the fools had died with them. We
tjust tiie Savannah Netss, after reflecting
for a moment upon the incalculable mischief
its information may do, t ill see Hie pio
priety of at once suppressing that informa
tion, and of swearing to all; comers that, the
paragraph containing it was smuggled into
its columns under cover of darkness and the
devil, and that the smuggler lias been
hunted down with bloodhouilds and shot to
death.
The Salaries of the Principal fit}-
I*ostiiias4ers.
The bill introduced in the House by Rep
resentative Platt, of New York fixes tiie
compensation of the postmasters named at
the following rates, viz: At NAw York.
$10,000: Philadelphia, Boston, ChJpago and
St. Louis, SB,OOO each, and Brooklyn, Bal
timore aud Cincinnati, $6,000.
Condition Of the Treasury.—The Sec
retary of the Treasury says that up to Feb
ruary Ist he was deficient $39,000,009, with
five months of the fiscal year to l run,
but that lie would wipe out $9,000,00CS with
the present encouraging increase of tiie
revenue, leaving $30,000,000 deficient.! By
reason of this sinking fund required by/law,
he opposes the inflation of the currency or
increase of the debt by anew loan any
character. Instead, he advises an increase
of the tax on spirits and tobacco. Ha says
that one dollar per gallon on spirits and
thirty-two cents per pound on to) acco
would bring $30,000,000 increase. :
Another United States judge?' one
“Dick” Busteed, lias followed the path
that lias now become so well beaten by these
gentry of tiie South—a path that leads to
degradation and disgrace. Asa specimen
of what these judges sent down to execute
the decrees of the government after the
war, really are, we give the finding of the
committee at Washington in the case of
Busteed.
This man before he went to Alabama was
a worthless, lazy lounger in New Work city—
nominally a lawyer, but living principally
by his wits. His character was well known
to the government when it appointed him
to deal with delicate questions of law and
to have power over the property and the
lives of the citizens of Alabama.
The committee Ibuncl that .'Busteed was
not at the time of his appointment, nor has
he ever been, a resident of Alabama; and
that he has applied public money to his use.
So Busteed, familiarly “DicK,” Judge in tiie
United States Circuit Court of Alabama,
will follow Unroll and the Jong, sad list of
the dishonored judges wttose greatest dis
grace is that they are too shameless for
even the Radicals to use them.
The trouble between the Archbishop of
Posen and the Berlin authorities is prow
ing serious. As far as reported he has ap
pointed forty-three priests contrary to the
new German law, regulating ecclesiastical
appointments in the Empire. He has
already been lined 1,300 thalers, and been
imprisoned for his acts. Having been sum
moned before the District Court to answer a
charge similar to those already preferred, the
Archbishop addressed a letter to the court,
in which he declared that the law is not
compatible with the principles and dogmas
of the Catholic Church, and that he c innot,
without grossly violating his duties toward
God and the Church, assist in carrying out
the law. His position is approved by the
Pope, who comforts him with the assurance
that “ God is now, by the unbridled efforts
of hell, preparing the eventual regenera
tion, and for a triumph of the church, at
this moment deprived of all human assist
ance, and that by the visible manifestation
of His power He will compel even the
proudest hearts to obedience.” The violence
of the Pope’s language partially reveals the
bitter intensity of the struggle between
Church and State.”
Philadelphia is agitated over the
woman question. Two ladies were duly
nominated on the reform ticket in tha t city
for school directors. No sootier was it as
certained that the ladies had actually be
come candidates on the ticket than a move
ment was inaugurated to oust them and
men were substituted in their places. In
consequence of this action the ladies have
published a card in which they declare that
they do not intend to resign, and both ladies
will run as the regular candidates, and
have made arrangements to have their
names placed on the ticket.
The three Boston hotel-keepers who
were arrested for violation of the Massa
chusetts Prohibitory law were before the
Police Court on Saturday. The proprietor
of the Tremont House pleaded guilty, and
escaped wiah fifty dollars line and costs.
The two others plead not guilty, and were
each sentenced to three months’ iinprison
medt at hard labor, beside the payment of
a fine of seventy-lire dollars. They have
appealed, and wiil carry the case through
the courts.
A dry goods box, labeled “venison.” was
received at Rochester, N. Y., from Jlinne- J
sota the other day, and was found to cou- j
tain the body of a man whose son had sent,
'it on in that shape to save express charges.
That father who wouldn’t gladly die in or
der to see such beautiful, refined and unique
economy developed in his son, is a man
whose utter want of parental affection and
beggarly destitution of soul stamp him as an
untutored savage of the deepest dye.
It is proposed to place in the holds of
vessels, whose cargoes are liable to spon
taneous combustion, boxes filled with lime
stone dust, into which pipes can convey
dilute sulphuric acid. The carbonic acid
gas set free, being heavier than air, can
easily be retained in the hold of the vessel.

Weekly Review oi'tlie Markets.
office Daily Advertiser-Republican,)
Savannah, February 12,1574. j
THE SITUATION—At the leading money
centres the financial position has been easy and
all the larger cities report money plentiful. The
currency increase is becoming the leading sub
ject before the people and is of the first impor
tance to all interests, the South and West being
rather in favor of more greenbacks, while the
North and East advocate the adoption of meas
mes loosing to a return to specie payments, the
tv\ o former being to a great extent the debtor
sections, while the latter are the creditors and
own most of the capital of the country. The
general aspect of business has been somewhat
enlivened by the large number of strangers in
the city in attendance on the Atlantic ann Gulf
Railroad Convention, and trade without anima
tion, with appearances indicating that commer
cial affairs will be conducted on a limited scale
aud with much caution for a time. Money,
however, bo'li at the North and in England,
shows increasing abundance, aud witli a
plethora of capital seeking a profitable employ
ment, it would seem highly probable that an
ea' ly resuscitation of business matters will take
place. The latest reports put the bank ard
street rate in England at the same figure, 3)4
per cent.
THE CROPS.—The intelligence, so far, in ref
erence to the extent and character of the future
planting is quite limited, and does not afford a
basis of calculation for anything reliable. The
movement of fertilizers has been moderate, with
the prospect of a very important dimuuition of
the consumption as compared witli last ) ear;
the limited money resources oi planters will in
terfere very seriously, it is supposed, with the
free purchase of this article. The low prices
prevailing for ihe staple will compel the plant
ing of a cheap crop, and provisions are likely to
receive increased attention. From all that can
be ascertained the advances t planters will be
mo:e restricted than at any period since ISGS,
and ihar industry will be placed very largely on
its own resources.
COTTON.—The weekly review opened on

Nature’s Cathartic.
No medicine is needed to keep tiie bowels
in order as long as nature’s cathartic, tiie
bile, Hows freely anil regularly from its
source ill the liver, and is ot tiie right
strength aud qua’ity. But the great biliary
gland is easily disordered, and the conse
quences of its irreglarities are serious. To
biincr it back to its natural condition when
thus°affected, Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters
should be taken at least twice a day uutil
the desired object is attained. Constipation
is due to a scant supply of bile, or to a lack
of the stimulating element in that fluid. In
either case mere purgation is useless. The
liver must be compelled to yield the supply
of bile necessary to remove the waste mat
ter from the system at least once in twenty
four hours before a radical cure of costive
ness can be accomplished. Hostetter s Bit
ters produces this effect. Its action upon
tiie stomach and liver is direct and salutary,
and through these organs it regulates aud
invigorates the whole frame. icb7 d&wlw
An unofficial estimate of the population
of New Orleans, compiled by the publisher
of the directory for 1874. gives a total of
230, 98.'i, an increase of 39.5(57 over the cen-
SU4 of 1870. This, it correct, proves it hu
ge!' than Cincinnati,and makes it the eighth
city i 1 tiie Union.

Notice to Ruptured Persons.
dr. j. L. ROWE, OF NEW YORK, DE
SIRES to call the attention of the Ruptured
persons of Savannah to his successful treat
ment and cure of Rupture.
Dr. R. in order to arrive at the absolute cer
tainty of the correctness of the peculiar course
of treatment invented and adopted by him, de
voted great attention to the mechanism of the
structure involved in the course of Hernia, so
that he is now assured, by a large experience,
thit it is in accordance with the principles of
scieoce, anti with the most universally ac
knowledged practice of artistic surgery, and he
asserts, with the confidence thus inspired, that
it will permanently relieve all cases of reducible
Hernia, without regard to the age of the patient
or the duration of the injury, while it is wholly
free from all the cruelty ihat has characterized
the treatment of the malady with tortuous
Trusses from the earliest age to the present
day. He therefore invites the earnest attention
of the afflicted and the closest scrutiny of the
profession.
Refers to some of tiie oldest physicians, as
wei l as citizens of Georgia.
Dr. R.’s Patent PILE SUPPORTER a sure
relief at once.
Examinations made and advice given free of
charge Dr. E. can be consulted daily at his
office, at Mrs. Elkins’, No. 163 York street, cor

superior to gas. Burns m any lamp without
danger of exploding or taking fire. Manufac
tured expressly to displace the use of volatile
and dangerous oils. Its safety under every pos
sible test, aud its perfect burning qualities are
proved by its continued use in over 300,000
families.
