your dooty to see that he is got out in due

made for the purtection of all invalids who
are wrongfully oppressed. But it is for you
now to show that the tenent has grounds
why he should not be lawfully turned out.
and you are bound to sit here, until you do.
and I hope you will soon bring in a verdict.,
accordingly with the instructions that I give
you. Gentlemens of the Jury, law was made
for the purtection of the innocent and the
persecution of the guilty, and you will b<
guiding in this case, which is the innocent
and which is the guilty. I see some of you
laughing, and I advise you to remember
what is the consequences of showing disre
spect to this court. The sheriff is in at
tending and the jail is below stairs, and I
hope every one of you will remember the
dignity due to this court.”

They Want a Warehouse at Guyton.
Guyton, Ga., January 21, 1873.
Editor Morning News:
You will confer a groat favor by giving
me space iu your columns for the inser
tion ol a few lines. We are iocated in the
pleasant and healthy little village of Guy
ton, with good society, two churches,
three stores, a saw and gri3t mill, Sabbath
and week day schools, daily mails, &?.
Yet one thing lackest thou (me), viz :
warehouse aDd agent. The papers are
teeming with praises of Mr. Wadley as
far-seeing, enterprising "a nd energetic
man, who spends thousands of dollars in
beautifying the terminal points of the
road, but he can’t afford to spend a dollar
to erect a warehouse to shelter our goods
from the weather, nor pay a dollar to an
agent to ship our freight or attend to the
delivery of the goods when they arrive
here. But our goods arrive here and are
thrown off cn a platform to take th
wc-ather and-risk tbehonesiy of the place.
There is a quantity of freight shipped to
and from this point, and as much, if not
more, passage from this than any point
on the road, and yet we are denied oven
a box car to shelter our goods. The far-
seeing President should not pass us by
thus neglected. J. F. T.
Where to Spend the Summer Months in
Canada.
Edilor Morning News:
Sir: Having frequently heard my fel-
low-conntrymea requesting information
regarding the best places in Canada to
locate their families for a few weeks dur
ing the summer, I may confer a benefit
on some by giving them my experience
during the past five seasons.
In 1867 I was induced, through the
rspresenlation of friends, to go to the
city of Montreal, where we remained for
four months at a daily cost of about $2 50
for each adult of my family. In 1868 we
proceeded to Toronto, where it cost us
$2 00 a day. In 1869 we went to God-
rich, an exceedingly pleasant place, and
lived there very confortubl/ for $1 50 a
day. In 1870 wo were recommended to
go to St. Catharine’s, where we found it
cost us $3 00 i day, with much less com
fort than at* Godrich. Iu 1871 we ac
companied some friend.^ to Woodstock
where we enjoyed tha most perfect com
.fort, with an excellent table, for $1 00 a
day. This I unhesitatingly pronounce to
be the cheapest and most healthy part of
Canada, and admirably well adapted as a
summer resort for our families. I never
saw, during my residence oi four months,
any attempt by the store-keeper to over
reach our countrymen on ther purchases.
Your obedient servant,
Veritas.

The ghastly yellow signal oi the pesti
lence floats heavily on the damp, chilly
air from many a teuemoul-honse. They
say the abodes of the aristocracy are cot
obliged to come under the flag. I am
told that when a po..r victim of tho small
pox dies in or is taken away from a toue-
ment-honse to the hospital all tha inmates
of the infected house are shut up iu inex
orable quarantine. Strangely enough, in
some instances no provision is made for
their living. They are not likely to have
any supply of food or fuel on hand, and
the consequence is that rather than starve
or freeze they escape from their wretched
homes to beg or steal, and so spread the
frightful contagion. Next to onr inscruta

Two or three times a poor colored man

the house of a relative of ours, in which
be was once a servant, rings the bell, then
retreats a few yards, and when the door
ia opened calls piteously for alms- ne
who never begged before. I am assnmd
that there is great suffering among fami
lies sitnaied as this iamily are, who are
the victims of tha disease without having
it and who are almost compelled to be
come the emissaries of the pestilence,
which hitherto has been almost conhned

They say these people, when they run

CREDIT MOBILIEB.
This investigation still continues, and
each day discloses more fully and clearly
the motives of Oikes Ames in selling—Le.
giving—stock to members of Congress.
The manner of the selling was made
manifest by Pig Iron. Kelley, who stated
that Mr. Oakes Ames offered to “carry”
$1,000 worth of Credit Mobilier stock for
him nntil the time when the dividends
would pay for the stock at par, and seven
per cent, per aifaum additional when he
would deliver it to Kelley. This transec
tion was called an “investment” and
“buying stock.” Another class of buy
ers is* illustrated by ex-Member Boyer,
who bought 100 shards Credit Mobilier,
and he brazened it out by saying he “had
fhe right to do it.” Boyer paid $10,000
for his stock at par, and in four years the
dividends, about 1,500 per cent., yielded
$150,000. These are two specimens of
buyers in Credit Mobilier. That Ames
should be kicked out of Congress is be-
is not
yond question, but that he will be
.if nil nvAK-.Kli.
at all probable.
THE SUNDAY CAPITAL
of this ci^, edited by Donn Piatt, who
appears to fear neiter mau nor devil, aDd
who, like* Paddy at Donnybrook Fair,
hits a head as soon as he sees it, to-day
gives the Credit Mobilier Syndicate three
rmd a half columns, in which it states
very truly that no two confessions were
alike. Senator Wilson was religiously sen
timental over his little tale; Colfax was
hypocritical; Kelley windy and inexact;
Bingham confessed the charge and jab
bered about a “licentious press;” Scho
field didn't remember receiving any divi
dends. Dawes and Garfield came off with
unsmirched skirts. Brooks is handled
pretty severely, especially for his speech
previous to the invebiigation, when he
tried to injure AIcComb’s reputation. The
Rev. Dr. Newman, chaplain of the Sen
ate, James F. Wilson, Senator Patterson,
Bushnell, Dillon & Alley each cams in for
a slap in Capital style. In contradistinc
tion to the strictures on the above named
parties is the defence of Colonel Mo-
Comb, who receives quite a complimen
tary notice, which I am assured is weli
deserved. The article is, I believe, from
tue pen of Georg® Alfred Townsend, and
is one of the sharpest yet published on
this question.
BROTHER HARLAN,
Senator and editor of the Chronicle, has
been an earnest defender of the Union
Pacific Railroad and tho Credit Mobilier.
The reasons for this are ten thousand. T.
C. Durant testified that he gave $10,000
to assist in the election to the Senate of
Harlan, then Secretary of the Interior.
Tho next morning the Chronicle stated that
Harlan knew nothing ot Durant’s opera
tions, and was not responsible for his
private acts. So far so good, but next
day Durant testified that he paid the
money iu a check to Harlan’s order. On
this the Republican, the rival Grant bogle,
went for tho Rev. Senator in a style if not
elegant at least peppery. So, no matter
what may be the result of the investiga
tion or how muetuCongressional white
wash may be expended, the editor of the
Chronicle—the pious Harlan—will not fail
to catch jessefrom its rival for Presiden
tial smiles and departmental patronage.
POSTAL TELEGRAPH.
The consideration of the biil uniting
the postal service with the telegraph will
come up this week. This bill, which re
ceived the unanimous vote ol the Senate
Post Office Committee, provides that all
post offices on or near telegraph cir
cuits shall be postal telegraph offices.
This will give from 5,000 to 8,000
new offices withont discontinuing any o.d
ones. The rates will be reduced one-balf,
and the length of the message increased
over 80 per cent., and for 25 cents a mes-
sage of twenty-five words can be sent at
night «ne thousand miles. The rates to
the press will be reduced to as great an
xtent, and for 75 cents one hundred
words can be sent five huudred miles.
The system will be in harmoqy with the
mail service, letters and telegrams being
received and delivered through the post
office. 'Wiis plan will give cheap tele
graphy without cost to the Government,
as the poAage of five conts, to be paid ou
each telegram, will cover all expenses.
A. great many Democrats in Congress fa
vor this measure—some on its own merits,,
and others because if thi3 plan is not
now adopted a Government telegraph
will be forced upon the country next
year, and every Democrat prefers this
plan to that. The bill will be acted on
ortiy, and, no doubt, passed. • From
the simple fact that it will prevent the
consummation of CreswelTspet adminis
tration scheme of Government telegraph,
it is probable that nearly the whole Dem
ocratic vote will be cast ior it.
scrunch ’em”
is the motto of the Western Union Tele
graph monopoly w6en newspapers dare
to have an opinion adverse from it.
From news received here it is known the
Alta California and Chronicle of San Fran-
oisco, and the Record of Sacramento,
have iucurred the vengeance of the great
monopoly for thtir advocacy of the pos
tal telegraph system, and the result is
the Alta has had all local State news,
formerly sent them by the associated
press, cut off, and it is proposed to stop
all news sent overland to the Pacific.

FKEEDMEN’s BUREAU.
This huge political machine and
swindle is being closed up, and an ex
amination of its affairs by General Vin
cent, Assistant Adjutant General, shows
the records iu a wretched state of con
fusion—the work not having been entered
up for a year past, documents missing,
and numerous discrepancies iu the ac
counts. It is almost a certainty that
claimants for bounty, arrears, etc., have
been defrauded. The Bureau saint, the
canting fraud, Gen. O. O. Howard, and
his right bower, Gen. Ballocb, have
been asked to fix matters straight by the
Secretary of War, and they have promised
to do all they can. An honest jury of
twelve men should sit in judgment on
these sharks, and then maybenbey would
get their deserts.
CHEAP POSTAGE.
The House Committee on Post Offices
and Post Roads, cn Friday unanimously
authorized Gen. Farnsworth, its Chair
man, to prepare a bill reducing letter
postage to two cents, and to require pre
payment on all printed matter, except
weekly papers in counties where now
printed, which will not be affected.

SAN DOMINGO.
The purchase of Samanft Bay by an
American Company is merely a round
about way of having San Domingo an
nexed by this country. That will, of
course, be the ultimate result, and then

THE BURNING OF COLUMBIA.
Letter from General Butler.
Edgefield. S. C., August 10. 1866.
lion. James P. Carroll, Columbia, S. C.:
My Dear Chancellor—I have been re
quested to furnish von the tacts connected
witn the evacuation of Columbia by the
Confederate forces, just before its occupa
tion and destruction by the Federal fo-c£S
under General Sherman, in Fi-bruarv,
1865.
I have heretofore restrained from par
ticipating in the controversy which has
arisen as to who is responsible for the de
struction ol that city, because I felt confi
dent that very f-=w, s'uth of a coriam i-*t^
tnde, believe a word of General Sher
man’s offioid report, wherein he attempts
to baddie this rt >poasibility upon General
Hampton, and that very lew north of the
same latitude would believe a word to the
contrary; and, therefore, that all testi
mony upon the subject would have to
pass through the crucible of time, divest
ed of prejudice and passion, before the
real truth would bo admitted both North
and South.
General Shermap, in his official report
of the operations of his armies in the
Carolina* in the spring of 1865, and upon
different occasions since, charges Gen.
Hampton with the destruction of his
native city. Gen. Hampton solemnly de
nies it. Ol course, wherever honor,
tiu!h, dignity and iategruy cf character
are recognized and respected,. General
Hampton’s denial will outweigh General
Sherman’s charge, and requires no cor
roborative statement to give it strength.
But it m >.y not be improper that I should
put my testimony iu aa available shape.
General Sherman may attempt to back
up his accusation by his uu nviable
notoriety, by the prestige of military suc
cess, by blunt and high sounding bom
bast, but the naked, pure and indestracti-
ble truth, in the hands of impartial
posterity, will scatter his pretensions
to the winds. The spontaneous con
fessions of a culprit are the highest
evidences of guilt. The admission
of his officers and soldiery, and his
own admission, on that fearful night of
the 17th of Fefrnary, are enough of
themselves to convict General Sherman
of the crime. The act was in perfect
keeping with his whole career in the war,
and why should he labor so industriously
to deny it. The reasons are to be found
in three facts: 1st. That the town had
been evacuated by hostile forers. and he
entered it without resistance, and conse
quently could not avail himself of the
rights of war, which he would legitimately
have had if he had taken it by assault.
2d. It had been surrendered before he
reached the suburbs, by tbo towu author
ities; and 3d. He had promised protec
tion to the helpless inhabitant - Close
upon the heels of this promise he is guilty
of perfidy, by conniving at, tolerating
and encouraging their detraction. (I
willtiot say that he ordered it.) Knowing
that these-trutiis and ethers too numer
ous to embrace iu the limits ol this pa
per, would one day come to light and
damn him forever, he undertake.-- to fore
stall them under the sanction of an offi
cial report, by attempting to transfer the
odium of destruction and suffering con
sequent upon his perfidy and unjustifia
ble malignity, upou one who is as far his
superior in every thing that constitutes a
true man, as he is less capable of such
inhumanity and erne ty.
In the aforesaid official report, General
Sherman uses the following language:
“General Wade Hampton, who com
manded the Coniederatu rear guard of
cavalry, had, in anticipation of our cap-
tore of Columbia, ordered that all cotton,
public and private, should be moved into
the streets and fired, to prevent our mak
ing use of it. Bales were piles every
where,” Ac.
Aud again:
“I disclaim on the part of my army, any
agency in this fire, but, on the contrary,
claim that we saved what of Columbia re
mains unconsumed. And, without hesi
tation, I charge General Wade Hampton
with having burned his own city of Co
lumbia, not with a malicious intent, or as
the manifestation of a silly ‘Roman stoic
ism,’ but from folly and want of sense, in
filling it with lint, cotton and tinder.”
General Sherman claims, in reply to a
letter written him by Benj. Hawks, ot
Columbia, asking indemnity for tha losses
by the fire, that he saw an order ot Gen.
Hampton’s published in one of the Co
lumbia papers, upon which he relies to
sustain his charge. I ask your attention
*to the accompanying affidavits, which I
lorget that rebels and traitors, and even
convicts and felons, have some rights,
aud that they who trample under the few
they have are proverbially damned and
execrated by the humane and virtnous
everywhere.
Now and then, in the course of events,
the path of history is crossed by a man
who marks i' with innocent blood, wan
ton destruction and perfidious infamy;
who “ont-Herods Herod;” and if Major-
General Wiiiiam Tecumsen Sherman has
not achieved that eminence, one never
lived.
I have the honor to be, very respect
fully, ycur obedient servant,
M. C. Butler.
[From the Macou Telegraph.]
What it Has Done and is Doing.
The violent, lawless and fatal debase
ment of the suffrage by the Radicals is
working so swift, so disgraceful and palpa
ble a demoralization of the Government,
that if any of that par:v are pos bssed of
the smallest lingering sentiment of pat
riotism they can hardly be happy. Look
a-, the report of th« House Committee of
Elections on the DuLargeand Bowen con-
i ~st iu Sunday’s telegrams and see what a
debased suffrage has led to there. The
sum of tue report is that both are proven
by th6 testimony such unmitigated scoun
drels that neither is entitled to a seat.
The South Carolina negroes r -elected
Bowen after he had been convicted of an
infamous crime and ejectea from bis seat.
The negro DcLarge secured his certificate
by the most notorious and unblushing
frauds, and Bowen theD contests for it by
bribing DeLarge’6 attorneys aud other
malpractices, which entitle him to the
penitentiary. Such are the “Gentlemen
of the House of Representatives” returned
by if-besotted and debauched popular suf
frage, and there aro many of them in that
House no better than these samples.
Bu: is the Senate any better ? The poi
son of an ignorant and unprincipled sn.-
frage, pervades the political system in
every ramification. While it is fillir.g
Congress with ignorant, low-bred and vi
cious men, who are “honorabk gentle
men” in terms of the law, as Sampson
Brass was a gentleman by act of Parlia
ment, it hae swarm d «-very channel of
State administration with the vile spawn
of ignorance •: d *in—poisoned every
iountain ol law and justice—arid it is a
righteous result that the most exalted
legislative body in the Federal Govern
ment displays in the most marked degree
the terrible resulte of suffrage debasement
The vile creatures sent to the Legislature
by semi-bar barious voters, select viler rep
resentatives to the Senate—men whose
more reckless and unscrupulous dishon
esty has amassed the largest hoard of
public plunder, aod whose venal instincts
—audacious wickedness—and obtuse sen
sibilities enable them more effcctuallntto
buy up and control the sodden and brwm
mass of State Legislators. So it comes
that the Senate of the United States is il
lustrated with such men as Paterson,
Caldwell, Clayton, aud half a score of
other sach, and oniy escaped quite as bad
lrom the State of Georgia by more politi-
c -.1 accidents. * It is quke certain that
Foster Blodge'tjwafc once elected to a seat
in the Senate. So, also, by this Debased
Suffrage every Southern State but two or
thre^ has been reduced to utter dishonor
and pecuniary ruin.
Such aro the inevitable resalts of poisoD-
ing the fountain bead cf free popular
Government; and I ho more the corrupt,
bitter ana loathsome waters pervade the
mass—the longer they transfuse the body
politic—tho more malignant and incura
ble becomes the gangrenous sore. God,
in his gre .t mercy may interpose somo
unlooked for way of escape—soma unex
pected succor, and save the country from
what appears to be the inevitable conse
quence of this debasement of the popular
suffrage—this defilement of the very foun
tain head of political life. But we don’t
think He will. The day of miracles is past,
and men anu nations must abide the con
sequence:; cf their own crimes.

THE
Editorial from the Macon, Ga., Telegraph and Mes
senger, of January 12. 1873.
A Remarkable Care.
Our readers will peruse with the deepest inter
est the accompanying card of Mr. R. W. White,
°f this city, relating to his wonderful relief from
Diabetes, that terrible malady which usually de
fies all human skill.
So thoroughly impregnated with saccharine
matter were the urinary deposits of the sick man,
that when subjected to evaporation, candy had
actually been the residuum. Most of his living
had been spent unavailingly for medical advice
and treatment, and death eeomed inevitable.
But in the hands of his eminent practitioner, bis
restoration has been rapid and complete, and
now he appears on the stand to tell the story of
Lis unexpected resurrection almost from the very
Jaws of the grave.
Dr. Jones is daily performing other wonderful
cures, and his fame is drawing to him patients
even from the neighboring States. Yesterday he
performed* delicate and successful operations
upon two ladies for cross eyes and cataract, one
ot whom had came from South Carolina to con
sult him. In diseases of the ear, too, he is-
equally skillful, ahft inserts artificial drams or
We judge that the mas* of intelligent j tympanums, when"hat organ has been destroyed
“Republicans,” as they call themselves
Radicals, as we call them, (bnt both are
misnomers), have no idea that tbe gov
ernment of the coanlry can Le m:*jptamcd
oa the basis of the popular wiih They
expect to maintain it by skillful combina
tions of wealth and political p(^ er; aud
it is the unscrupulous nse of ™ ese, re
sulting from a thorough distrust of the
popu.ar intelligence and honesty, which
forced negro suffrage on th6 country, aud
then by an active persecution and repres
sion ot the whites, and the machinery of
fraudulent elections has precipitated tbe
progress of political demoralization. But
have made before a Notary, as to any or- they know that the only foundation of
Santa Anna, the old one-legged cock-
fighter and disturber of the peace, for
whom the d—^1 has been patiently waiting
for a quarter of a century, is still hanging
on to the brittle thread instead of a
hempen cord ; and according to last ac
counts had tamed up in New Orleans,
invited there probably by Pinchback or
Durelh —Louisville Ledger,
der lrcm General Hampton to burn the
cotton. The order referred to was never,
as far as I am informed, issued to the
troops officially. General Hampton, an
ticipating that the enemy would burn the
cottcn, as they had done on -all previous
occasions in this State, preferred to take
the chance, in the wide streets, rather
than allow it to remain in the buildings,
where the destruction of the buildings
and probably the city, would have been
the oonseqnence, and hence tbe order to
remove it into the streets. He did not
order the cotton to bo burned. On the con
trary, his orders were, that it should not be
burned, and it was not set on fire by any
troops or others uuder his command,or in
pursuance of any orders of his as far as iny
officiatand personal information extends.
I was in a position to know tho facts cer
tainly then, and remember theD accu
rately now. Hence, I speak advisedly
aBd cannot be mistaken; and Gen. Sher
man deals recklessly with the truth, to
use no harsher term, when he makes the
charge to the contrary. Tbe mystery is
why he should bo so anxious to exonerate
himself from this particular act. As I
have said, it was iu perfect keeping with
his past career. He Lad revelled so Ion:?
with the incendiary’s torch that we sup
posed it had become to him a pastime.
The reason is as stated above, an attempt
to remove th* stigma which his perfidy
had brought upon him, und he also de
sired an opportunity to discharge his
‘sweltered venom” upon the head of a
gentleman and soldier, whom he envied
aud hated, to strike him an unmanly,
blow. The burning of Columbia appears
to haunt him like a horrid night mare.
Ho not only attempts to shift the respon
sibility in his reports and letters, but in
his glorification speeches in the North, he
labors to frighten it away from his con
science. But, grant that he explains this
to the satisfaction of the unprejudiced—
was this mischievous torch ot Gen. Hamp
ton’s applied to the residences and houses
one, two and three miles from tho city,
which were burned to the ground? Was
it the same which destroyed, for a great
part, Robcitville, Grahamville, McFh.rr-
sonville, Barnwell, Biackvilie, Williaton,
Orangeburg, Lexington, Winnsboro’,Cam
den, Liberty Hill, Lancaster, Chesterfield,
Cheraw, Darlington in this State, and
scores of towns and hamlets in Georgia,
and reduced to ashes almost the entire
tract of country through which he march
ed, and to beggary and want hundreds
and thousands of helpless, innocent
women and children? Was this legitimate
and civilized warfare? Would it have been
so considered even against savages? Has
any “rebellion,” however wicked, ever
justified war and wantonneas upon help
lessness, innocence and infirmity? Why
did not his benevolent army “save” them,
as well as “what of Columbia remains un-
consumed?'’ Did Gen. Hampton direct
his (Sherman’s) artillery which “fired
from the west bank of the Congaree, op
posite Columbia,” upon a town filled with
women and children, and non-combatants,
whose surrender he had never demanded?
He did not wish it surrendered. And
no doubt, when the Mayor mr t him with
a flag of trace, the chagrin felt under the
smiles which he wore in his promises of
protection, whetted his hatred for greater
vengeance upon the “doomed city.”
But it sickens one to dwell on such
vandalism, in this nineteenth century of
boasted enlightenment, advancement and
civilizatien. General Sherman’s conduct
no doubt disgusts suoh hononbie and
magnanimous soldiers as Grant, McClel
lan, Meade, Buel, Fitz John Porter,
Pleasanton, Schofield and others, who
reflect 60 much lustre upon the American
arms, as much as those who have been
his victims. It may suit the purposes of
General Sherman and his partizans to
proclaim from the house-tops the wick
edness of rebellion, the guilt of traitors,
and other such ad captandum speeches, in
jurti&oationoftheirvandalism; bat they
free government—and intelligent and vir
tuous ballot—is gone already in this coun
try, and that v.batever hereafter the Gov
ernment may be called, it must go to ruin,
or it must be substantially controlled by
the one man power representing a combi
nation of the wealth of the country aDd
the material forces of the Government.
Florida Finances.
Tho Comptroller’s Report just published
is an interesting document. The Floridian
makes the following summary :
The receipts into the Treasury for the
year ending December 31, 1872, $257,-
233:54, while the warrants drawn amount
ed to $304,214.35. Of the revenue as
sessed for 1872, only $3,994 33 had been
paid in at the date of the report. The
bulk of the revenue paid in, or nearly
one-halt of it, (128,358 06,) whs derived
from the assessment of 1871, while there
is still outstanding on tbe assessment for
that year $180,256.25. Doubtless a large
portion of this amount has been collected
and is now in the bauds of the Tax Col
lectors, the graet majority of whom are
totally irresponsible.
The funded and interest debt of the State
the 1st January, 1872, was $5,269,973.33
To this is now added the 7 per
cent, bonds under act 1871,.... 350,000.00
.. .$5,619,973.33
... 224,827.60
Bonded‘debt
Floating debt, Jan. 1, ’73,.
Total $5,884,721.00
This statement embraces $4,000,090
bonds issued to J. P. & M. R. R., aud
$421,000 of six per cent, bond.s of 1868
and 1869, hypothecated in New York for
money borrowed, and which were long
since forfeited. The bonded debt has
increased $350,000, and the floating debt
diminished $61,271.13, showing an in-
crese daring the past year of $288,728.87.
Governor Hart in his message states
that the amount of seven per cent, twenty
year bonds issued under act of 1856 and
other acts “ is not clearly shown by any
Comptroller’s or Treasurer’s report ” that
he has seen, though be admits he has not
.-een all. The original amount authorized
to be issued was $500,000, of which all
save $221,000 weie cancelled. This
amount Las been annually stated as out-
eUadiag bv the Comptroller. Of this
amount ot $221,006. $132,000 are held by
the Indian Trust Fand at Washington
and $57,000 are m the School and Semi
nary Fundh. The whereabouts of the re
maining $32,000 is not known.
The Comptroller earnestly urges prompt
measures to remedy the evils connected
with the collection of the revenue, and
makes other important suggestions worthy
the careful consideration of the Legisla
ture.

I .EM A iiKAIiL.lt AND GB£AT CURE OT DIABETES
(SUGAR IN THE URINE)—Lt Db. J. A. JONES.— For
marly three years I was sick unto death with that
dreadful disease diabetes—sugar in the urine
daring which time my sufferings language could
not descirbe. My disease was contracted in bep-
fcf-mber, 1870—nearly three years ago—while in
the employ of Col. Edmund Harrison, in Mont
gomery, Ala., who knows of my case well. I was
treated by a.l the best physicians of the principal
Southern cities, and nearly ail cf them gave up
my case as incurable, alter treating me for weeks
or months. I also tried the mountain air of Bir
mingham, Ala., and tried bittera and all kinds of
patent medicines. Nothing reached my disease,
or touched the root of it, or changed my urine,
which was w^ite, and soon after being voided in
the eon crystilized into sugar. I had to get up
every half hour during tbe night to drink and
void water. Everything I ate and drank turned
into sugary urine; and thus, by ounces, I was
wasted and reduoed from a strong, healthy, stout
man of 170 pounds, to a skeleton of 69 pounds.
Forty-eight hoars after I commenced Dr. Jones’
treatment my urine changed to a natural color
with the natural odor, and in a few days my pains
and ills all left me, and I feel as well as I ever did
in my life; have good, natural appetite, natural
and regular bowels, and am gaining my former
activity and strength daily, but my teeth are loose
and discolored from the bad effects of the mur-
cury, iron, arsenic, ptc., given me before I saw
Dr. Jones. I have not taken over an onnee of
medicine from Dr. Jenos, and lt was pleasant to
t*fee, and he never changed his remedy, and gave
me but one small bottle cf that, but it went to the
very spot, and I and my wife both saw that I was
cured, and I both felt and saw lt af:or the first
twenty-four hours’ use oi Dr. Jones’ medicine. I
feel that I owe my life to the skill of this great
physician, for my shroud was prepared and at my
bedside, and my diaeaee was pronounce I incura
ble by so many phyeicians, some of thorn stating
that no porsen had ever been cured of diabetes.

I have been suffering lor five years with ozoena
(an offensive disorder of the nose) of the worst
form, having iu that time trie 1 all the remedies
spoken of in the medical books, and nsed in the
common practice, and grew worse under them all
the time, until the dreadful disease impaired my
whole system, produced severe neuralgia, general
debility, and disfigured my nose, and destroyed
my sense of smell. In this condition I placed
myself under the pro ; esslonal cars of Dr. J. A.
Jones, at the Eattle House, and I have been rap

Testimony of an Aged Planter, of Victoria—Bron
chitis. As hma and Consumption Cured
by Dr. Jones.
For seventeen years I have had oppression, dif
ficult breathing, pain in the aides, coughing, rasp
ing, scraping of my throat, wheezing hoarseness
■every norther gave me fresh cold and laid me
up for weeks, until I was pronounced a consump
tive; and thus a complete Invalid, wasted away-
having been injured much by drugs given me by
family doctors—I came to Dr. Jones, who ex
amined n e at once, told me he oould again make
mo comfortable and save my life by his peculiar
Remedies and Instrument for Inhaling them. I
paid him his prico and commenced bis treatment,
and immediately commenced improving, and in
three weeks was quite well, could eat well, sleep
well, breathe perfect, and my color is good. I
have gained flesh and health from the very hour
that I first commenced his treatment It Unow
two months. I am well, end attend to eveijpnd
of business. I was expected to die with consump
tion every day. Now my acquaintances ask me
who in the world raised me from the dead ? I tell
them Dr. Jones. I feel that money is no equiva
lent for each services sa Dr. Jones renders.
J. J. Walkxb.
N. B. —Macon is the only city within thread un-
dred miles at which Dr. Jones can he consulted. f
