They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Keno- rstor and Invigorntor of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con dition. No person can take these Bitters according to directions and remain long anweU, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Pnrgatlve an well as a Taalc, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or old. married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma tism and Gout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bil ious, Remittent aud Intermittent iFevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys aud Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. Mach Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organs.

Palpitation of the Heart, laSawmation of the Lungs, Pain iu the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the oflsprings of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach and Btlmulate the torpid Liver end Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi cacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart ing new life and vigor to the whole system.

Cleanse the Yitir ted Blood whenever you find Its im purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup tions or Sores; cleanse it wiien you find it obstructed and sluggish in *h» veins: cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the svstem will follow. Flu. Tap., nnd other Worms, lurking in the •yf'.em of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed, days a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an individual upon the face of the earth whose body i* exempt from the presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy elements of the body that worms exist, hut upon the diseased hum ere and slimy deposits that bread these living monsters of disease.

Editor Constitutionalist: Having disposed of the Comptroller Gener al’s office in my last, I will now re fer lo i fie S:aie Treasurers office. In looking over tfie payments un der head ot Civil Establishment, in the Comptroller's Report, I find that in 1371, N. L. Angier, Treasurer, drew his annu al salary... $2 000 Altau Ang'er, clerk, drew annual salary.,$IOd0 1 $3,000 find the following Tn addition, extras : I©71—January 21. Altan Angier for in- cidental expenses in the revision of the laws of Geo gia .... December 16. N. L. Angier,State Treas urer, for over-payment of interest iutoTreasury ...... 7,415 26 $500 tained the interest in his own hands frost of warming and lighting the and would not pay it over lo the Capitol at Atlanta, the sum of five Slat \ an l the prosecution coin thousand six hundred and eiglity- menced bv Bullock was instituted to nimMlo’lars. Quite a difference, I recover this money from him, there should say. 7 915 26 Add N. L. and A. Angier’s sallies 2:000 00 $10 515 26 I know not under what law, or au thority, Mr. Allan Angier drew the $-500. But ha\ ing noticed in Pi of. Oir’s late communication to the pub lic relative lo the educational fund, I thought it rather strange, especial ly as he was not a school teacher. Having inquired of an Atlanta man about the matter, l learned the fol lowing to be substantially the facts : Iu 1SGS or 1S69, Dr. Angier, the State Treasurer, having a large amount of public funds, including the educational fund in the Treasu ry and in the hanks, and wishing to make something out of the same for himself, loaned it out to one or more of the hanks in Atlanta, at a certain rate of interest which he applied to his own use, collecting small amounts at a time. This was in direct conflict with the SOtli section of the Code, which reads as follow: “Sec- 86, paragraph 8. He (the State Treasurer) shall not under any circumstances use himself or allow others lo use the funds of the State in his hands; and for crerij violation of tins section he is liable to the State for the sum of five hundred dollars as a penally, or forfeiture of salary, if said forfeiture will pay the penally incurred.” In the meantime, Bullock and Treasurer Angier having become personal enemies, and having com menced a personal warfare upon oach other, Bullock found out that A. had violated this section of the Code about forty times, and be had prosecution commenced againsi Angier in Fulton Superior Court, lo enforce the $20,000 penalty. Angier lo make out the best tight he could, under the circumstances, after being prosecuted, paid into the State Treasury several hundred dollars that he had received as interest on the educational, or public funds, and paid himself or directed the banks to pay all oilier interest accruing on this fund in the State Treasury, as the State’s money, which it seems was done Lasl December, however, the Democrats in the Legislature being largely tit the majority, and Bullock having run away, upon Treasurer Angier a.-king ihe members of the Legislature to have the prosecution against him instituted by Bullock dismissed, Sfe.; in consideration of Angier having fought Bullock man- full}’, (as any Treasurer should have done, for it was bis duty) and no doubt saved the State from serious loss, the Legislature agreed to dis miss said prosecution and relieve Treasurer Angier of the $20,000 “ penalty incuned,” by the passage of the following resolution, which I find in pamphlet acts 1871 and 1872 page 2-5S : “ Whereas, It has not been cus tomary to require the State Treas urer to pay into the Treasury inter est on deposits of the State funds, “ Be it resolved, That the Treas urer of the Slate shall not be held liable for any such interest; and “ Be it further resolved, That suits now pending against the present Treasurer, involving such interest, under the ptovisions of section 86, paragraph 8, of Irvin’s Revised Code, be discontinued, aud that the Attorney General is hereby instruc ted to dismiss said suits. Approved Dec. 8, 1S71.” The preamble and first resolution of the above but recites a well known fart, when it says that “it has not been customary to require the Treas urer to pay into Hie Treasury inter est on deposits ot Stale funds,” and that “ he shall, ot ought not to be held liable tor any such interest.”— II has not been “customary” to charge the State Treasurer with in terest on the deposit of public funds, simply because the above plain penal statutes prohibited said officer from loaning out, or using said funds in any other way, for his own private gain. Now, had Treasurer Angier re. might have been some excuse, under this resolution, for his not p tying in to the State Treasury such mti r^ st on. the deposits he at the time of the passage of this resolution had in his hands. But the proseculii»t was not to recover any interest fr«*in Treasurer Angier, (fir all of ii had lieen paid into the Treasury, after i accrued, except the few hundred dollars alluded 11.) But the pro-e cution was merely instituted a« all know to enforce the in natty of $20,000 incurred by him under the 8b.h sec tion ot the Co le. Arid without any appropriation whatever, under this resolution, how could Treasurer An gier have had the “ face” to go to Conley and claim said money as his own, when not. one cent of it ever belonged to him, and contend that it was an overpayment “ by him into the State Treasury,” and claim a refund of the same, I cannot ifti ig- ine. But to show that the members of the Legislature did not think for a moment that in voting fot such a resolution, besides relieving Tteas- urer Angier of the $20,000 “ penal ty” incurred, they give or intended to give him this $7,415 26, I here present a resolution of both branches of the Legislature, approved on the 20th January, 1S73, which I find on page 328, Acts LS71 and 1872: “ Resolved by the Senate and I House of Repiesenutives, That the Joint Finance Committee enquire by what authority Benjamin Conley the acting Governor, drew his war rant on the Treasurer in favor of N. L. Angier, for the sum of $7,- 415 26, “ over payment ofinterest,” and it said sum was justly due said Angier; and that they report to this General Assembly at as earty a day as is practicable. Said investiga tion to be made after the re-assem bling of this General Assembly in July next, and the report to be made at saiil session.” But to show still further that the Legislature merely intended to re lieve Treasurer Angier of the $20,- 000 “penally,” about to be placed upon him, aud that they did not in tend either to vole it to him for “ex tra services,” or give it to him, 1 will say, that, although neither Ben Con ley, Madison Bell, nor N. L. Angier seemed to know’, or care but little, if they did know, as to the require ments of our State Constitution, the presumption is, that most, if not all of the members of the Legislature, having also sworn to support the Constitution, knew something about its requirements. Article 3, section 3, paragraph 6, of our Stale Constitution says : “Alt hills (not resolutions) for raising rev enue or appropriating money shall ori ginate in the House of Representa tives, but the Senate may propose or concur in amendments, as iu other hills.” And section 6, paragraph 4, (same article) says: “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury except by law,” See. And secti >n 6, (same article) paragraph 2, says: “No vote, resolution, law, or order, shall pass granting a donation or gratuity in favor of any person, ex cept by the concurrence of two- thirds of each branch of the General Assembly; nor by any vote to a section, corporation or association.” Now, 1 take it for granted that, with these provisions ol the consti tution staring them in the face, if the members of the Legislature had the remotest idea of letting Treasurer Angier have this money upon the pretext of “extra services,” they would have appropriated it by law. Or, if they intended to give it to him, they would have appropriated the mouey in it ?and passed this resolu tion (if it originated in the House) by a two-thirds vote. The Legislature not having done any of these things, the “drawing ol the w-arrant by Conley” on the Treas- ury, for the amount of $7,415 26 in fa\or ot Angier, “the approving of the same by the Comptroller gener al, Bell,” and the “paying”, of the same by Treasurer Angier was such a bold, open assault upon right, jus tice, and the provisions olour State Constitution, that I cannot account for it, only upon the supposition, “whom the gods wish to destroy they first ^make mad.” With these re- marks I leave Treasurer Angier with the Legislature for the settlement of the matter. JEFFERSON. Extract from “Jefferson’s” 4th Article. “It came out in the Bullock and Angier quarrel, in 1S70, that the cost of warming arid lighting the Capitol at Milledgeville a mounted to about $400 per annum. By Comp troller Bell’s late report, i find that C. S. Cook and C. 3*. Watson diew, in 187], $4,538 for engineer's servi ces and coal, and the gas company drew $1,151 ior gas, making the C. S- Cook also drew S3.30S lor repairs and servants’ hire. Now, I will venture to say that, except when the Legislature made large appro priad'iiis to “fit up new” the old Stale House at Milledgeville. not as nucfi s $ J.30S has been d awn in an> fifteen yea s, straight on, lor any such repairs, as this Mr. Cook drew toi repairs aud servants’ hire. “0.,eJ. A. Burns drew $1,277 50 lor piy of three servants, lakuig c.*re ot ami cleansing ih<- Capitol in I8<0, when i! I have no- been misin formed, (ind 1 think rrry authority good), the amounts paid by the Gov ernors, iu Milledgeville, li»r the last tif een or twenty \ears, f r airing and cleansing the Capitol, was from $50 lo SI00 ; generally, $50 to $75. What is a Comptroller General good lor if he can't stop such villainous charges as these. “In two warrants al> >ve alluded to, servants’ hire is put in. At the old Capitol, at Milledg ville, in JS63 and 1S6-1, and lor m my \ears pre vious, they had Gut one servant— “Uncle Ben,” they called him—and he attended to the Executive aud ail other offi.es, and got about $200 per annum for his services. I find by this Report ol’Comptroller Bell, that in addition to these servants a- bive paid, two others, Colly In man and William Hill (colored, I suppose,) drew in 1871, $807 50 for their Services.’’ who prefer to remain iu Egypt, and they will probably never outerde him a merit; but all those who de nounced him a year ago aud now lake up the line of march to Canaan certainly owe him the profoumlest and most heart-fell apology. Sav. Republican. IS. HILL’S SPKHill AMD U. HILL. Asa political manifesto, the speech will be found remarkable. It has nothing ol a partisan character about it, audfio attacks upon other people’s opinions. In these regards it won the plaudits of the immense assem blage that collected to hear it, with* out distinction of parts. Such was its cogent reasoning, its powerful ap peals, and its ad nimble temper, that even Gen. Toombs, probably the bitterest and most intolerant pol il'cian of his day—lh »ugh his longue often says hard things which his heart does not feel—gave frequent tokens of approval during its rieliv- ery, and at the close culled for three cheers for the great or .tor. In fact il w r as just such a speech as the ne cessities of the times demand—a calm, conciliatory, unimpassioned reasoning with the people upon the great questions of duty to their coun try and to themselves. The speech lias been misrepre* sented by some who have alleged that Mr. Hill advocated the endorse ment of Mr. Greeley’s nomination at Baltimore. He did no such thing. Il is reported just as it was deliver ed, and all can judge for themselves and see his real position and pur pose. He simply urged upon the Democrats ot the South the duty of sustaining the action of the Bdti more Convention, whatever it might be—whether tor or againsi Greeley —and then went ori to give the rea sons why he should support Mr. Greeley in the event of his endorse ment at Baltimore, even though he had nothing but condemnation for nis past course in political affairs.— And such the reader will find the speech lo be. Let him weigh well those reasons, and decide for himself whether they are patiiotic and suffi cient or not. The first part of the speech is confin ed chiefly lo the political condition ol the country since the war, and the origin, nature and real purpose of the movement known as the “ New Departure,” so misrepresented, ami so often and unjustly denounced- at the 8outh. It was the last, patriotic effort lo restore the Democratic par ty to power and break down the cause of Radicalism ; and vet none were so b.tter in denouncing it as the Democrats of the South. But we have lived a little longer, and to see the New Departure embodied, in letter and spirit, without omission or addition, in the Cincinnati plat form of the Liberal Republicans; and what is still more worthy of note the day has arrived when nine out of every ten Democrats in Georgia and the South are willing to forego all objections and stand on that plat form ! It thus appears that Mr. Hill, in stead of joining the Radicals, as he was falsely accused of doing, was, as a Democrat, only in advance of his party, with but a short time to wait before they would catch up.— He even advanced beyond their pick et lines, sword in hand, and solitary Drnorratic Stall Coireiliav. Before another issue of our paper this body will have met. It will be composed of the ablest men of Geor gia. The occasion will be one of vital intcre.-l to the State, not so much on account ot anv position il m iy take on Federal politics or any influence its action may exert in the pending Presidential struggle, as in regird to home politics and home interests. We have heretofore warn ed the Democracy against dissen sions and schism. To firtnlv main tain the integrity of Democratic prin ciples, and with it the unity, poten cy and beneficence of their organi zation. The warning has not been heeded. And if we ligliily inter pret the manifestation of feeling and sentiment, the Convention which as sembles next week will be exceeding ly stormy and inharmonious. There is at present manifested in certain quarters, a [ ragmatical, oveibear ing and dictatorial spirit, which if kept up, must be fatal to the peace and unity of the Democratic patty jo! Georgia. We call no name but leave ifee people lo locate the re sponsibility of the present deplora ble condition of our party. A few tnonihi: ago it stood compactly and triumphantly together—elected a reformatory Governor and Legisla- lure, arid established a wise and reliable Supreme Judiciurv. It was then strong and confident in its unity. Look at il now! Rent and raving. And by whom and lor whom? Not by the people, the hon est masses, hut by rings, spoilsmen aud place men. Torn,furious and bel ligerent not upon fundamental principles, this could be excused— but upon mere questions of policy and expediency and in advance of any call for their decision by the General Convention at Baltimore. We think, if there are enough sane men in the Georgia Legislature, they should immediately on assembling, piss a law to protect the people against crazy politicians and con firmed demagougues. This and a dog-law, might secure to us peace aud plenty.—Greensboro Herald. A Sure Cure Jor the Dysentery.— An old man, who has known hun dreds of cases of dysentery cured by it, furnishes the Atlanta Consti tution with the following remedy: A spoonful oi two ol pure, raw wheat Hour, thinned with water so it can be easily drunk. Three or four doses, taken at intervals often or twelve hours, will cure any case not absolutely chronic; and, from what I have witnessed, I feel sure it is one of the best remedies in the world for chronic diseases. To make the dose palitable f>r children, it can be sweetened and flavored with some drops, not acid. “ Too Muciieb.”—The five ladies with the Japanese embassy, at the suggestion of their American hostess recently consented lo be laced up and tied down, ruffled, paniered, flounced, bowed and trailed in the “style.” Then they were powdered up from an orange peel hue to a del icate lemon, and pronounced perfect as far as dress ooes. Half an hour later, however, their dismayed civ ilizer- found them smiling and happy in their half-petticoat, half pantaloon dress. “ Too muche,” said the g< ti tle Japanese. Two Iiishmen on a sultry night took refuge under the bed clothes from a party of nriusquiio*»s. At last one of them gasping from heat, ven tured to peep beyond the bulwarks, and espied a firefly, which had stray ed into the room. Arousing his com panion with a punch, he said : Fer gus.
