llcpublimu Official Paper of the City. 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 Longfellow, is very ill, and it is said cannot recover. He is nearly eighty years old. BY TELEGRAPH. NIGHT DISPATCHES.

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.

For the Gulf States southerly winds, increasing to brisk rain, followed by a severe norther in Western Texas. 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. —At a recent dinner of shoemakers the , following toast was given: “May we have ! all the women in the country to shoe ami j all the men to boot,” * FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL 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 Friday last with a quiet market, but holders re fuse i to give way sufficiently to induce buyers to lake hold largely.

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.

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.
