Editor Augusta Constitution
alist :
After writing my sixth article for
your paper, a friend called my at
tention to a matter appearing in the
Comptroller General’s late Report,
that I had passed over, but which I
think is likely to prove not only
troublesome to the present Radical
Comptroller General, but also inter
esting and troublesome to some of
your Richmond county Radicals. 1
have looked a little into it, and think
I know pretty well its status or bear
ings, and I am fully satisfied that
‘somebody’ will have to ‘refund’ or
‘disgorge’ to the State. It is in the
following evidence of a large pay*
ment from the State Treasury, on
the 28th of December last, by act
ing Governor Benj. Conley and
Comptroller Bell, a few days before
Mr. Conley went out of the Execu
tive office :
‘Constitutional Convention Accounts.
18GS, 4th Section of Act of Octo-
ber, 7, 1870.’
1S71.
Dec. 28. Paid by warrant
on Treasury, Georgia Prin
ting Company, for Printing
Journals of Constitutional
Convention - - -$10,170
This company, I learn, was, and
is composed of Rufus B. Bullock,
Benj. Conley, and others, about
Augusta, not now recollected. And
the company, besides publishing a
Radical paper called the Georgia
Republican, or some other ‘Republi
can,’ in 1868, it also did other prin
ting.
After my attention was called to
the matter, thinking it rather strange
lhat this account made in 1868, re
mained unpaid so long, I concluded
to refer to the act of October 7th,
1870. for information. All lhat I
could there learn was (see page 432,
pamphlet act 1870,) lhat act enti
tled ‘An act to protect the credit of
the State” was passed. The 1st,
2d and 3d sections provide that the
scrip issued to members of the Con
stitutional Convention in 1868 be
redeemed by the State Treasurer,
and that the ‘Convention Tax’ or
dered to be levied by Gen. Mead/
shall be applied to reimburse the.
State Bui the 4th section, which
was intended to cover, and to ap
propriate money for this claim, reads
as lbllows :
‘Sec. 4. Be it further enacted, That
the Comptroller General be, and he
is hereby authorized and required
to receive any of said outstanding
scrip . x settlement of the Conven
tion Tax due to the State ; and the
Comptroller General be, and he is
hereby required to audit only such
accounts as have been heretofore
audited by the proper officers of the
Convention; and his excellency the
Governor is hereby authorized and
required to issue his warrant on the
Treasury lor said audited accounts.’
Here it will be seen that notwith
standing these accounts were known
to have been ‘audited’ by ‘officers of
the Convention,’ yet the above sec
tion required that the Comptroller
General should audit them, (exam
ine them, and see if fair and just,
and made out ‘according to law,’
&c.,) before they were authorized to
be paid, and consequently the Comp
troller was only authorized to allow
tlfem to be paid according to law.
Now what was, and is the law in
relation to printing done for the
State? From Sections 1021 to 1044
of Irwin’s Revised Code, the du
ties of the Public Printer are defin
ed, and also the price for printing
done for the State by the Public
Printer, and others, is prescribed.
In relation to the pay of the Pub
lic Printer, for the printing done for
the State, the 103Sth section of the
Code reads as follows:
‘He shall be paid thirty (30) per
cent, on the actual cost of the ma
terial and labor employed in the
Public Printing: Provided, That,
before being paid, he shall make out
an account, on oath, of the actual
cost of the material and labor era*
formed by the Public Printer, which
necessity may demand, shall be
printed at the Seat of Government,
or such other place ss may be nec
essary in the discretion of the Gov
ernor, under his direction and super
vision, upon reasonable rates, to be
paid out of the Contingent Fund.’
By the above sections of the Code
it will be seen lhat it was, and is the
du'y of the Governor, generally, to
audit accounts for printing done for
the State, but he could not, and can
not pay him over thirty per cent,
profit on i he actual cost of the ma
terial and labor employed, &c. And
as he was only authorized to pay
others than the Public Printer ‘rea
sonable rates,’ he could not go be
yond the thirty per cent, profit au
thorized to be paid tjie Public Prin
ter, in paying others for printing
done, &,c. The act of the 7th" Oc
tober, 1870, above quoted, and un
der which this Constitutional Con
vention account was directed to be
paid, put the Comptroller General
in the place of the Governor, in the
settlement of these accounts.
And what was the Comptroller’s
duty under the Code, and this act
of October, 1S70? Was it not his
duty before auditing or allowing
this account to be paid, ibr either a
large or small amount, to require
the person presenting it to ‘make out
an account on oath’ of the actual
cost of the material and iabor em
ployed, and even then, bad he doubt-
the correctness of the account, was
it not his duty to ‘reject’ it, and to
allow only what,’ in his judgment,
might seem right and just?’ The
above 1038th and 1043d sections ot
the Code are so plain on this sub
ject that ‘he who runs’ may under
stand.
Did Mr. Comptroller Bell, then, in
auditing the above printing accounts
for his Radical friends in Augusta,
thus comply with the law ? This
question he can best answer for him
self before a Legislative Commit
tee, which, I suppose, will look in
to the matter. If he did require
the ‘oath,’ &e., while he is not re
lieved from responsibility for not
rejecting this account, it is my opin
ion lhat the person about Augusta
who made the ‘oath’ will stand a
good chance to work under Grant,
Alexander &. Co. It Mr. Bell did
not require the oath, then it is my
opinion that Mr. Bell and his securi-
iies will Lave to refund lo the Stale,
if thej’ cannot make or induce these
friends of his in Augusta to ‘dis
gorge.’
That you and your readers, Mr.
Editor, may understand the forego
ing remarks, I will here state, that
although no printer myselt, upon
seeing this Journal of the Conven
tion, and the amount paid for 1,500
copies of it, being well satisfied that
the State had been largely dama*
ged in this transaction, a friend ot
mine, who knows something about
printing took a copy of this Journal
to a highly respected gentleman, one
of the proprietors of a daily paper,
and a practical printer, too, wno bar
gains for work done in his own of
fice, with a request that he would
make a‘rough’ and ‘very liberal es
timate’ of what he believed or
supposed was or might have been
the ‘actual cost of labor and mate
rial’ employed in printing this book
in 1868,’ and his estimate is as fol
lows :
Composition, or type-setting (round
numbers.)
Cost of paper, (round numbers,)
> Press W or'
$600
500
300
Stitching aud Binding (round numbers.) 200
Prof-reading and make up, 000
Wear and aud tear of material 220
To which odd 30 per cent profit
2,420
726
$3,146
This estimate, therefore, liberal
as it is, would then show that Comp
troller Bell in thus allowing his Rad
ical friends in Augusta $10,170 for
this book, made a ‘gift’ to them of
$7,024. Quite a handsome gift
these days.
I send you a copy ot this ‘Jour
nal of the Constitutional Conven
tion,’ that your foreman may make
his ‘rough estimate’ of what it ought
to have cost ‘according to law,’ in
1868. As it will not take him half
an hour to do, I trust you will state
the result of his estimate when you
publish this article.
That printers, generally, however,
may understand the above estimate,
I will here try to describe the book.
The number of copies is 1,500. It
contains 648 pages, including blank
pages and title, and cover, which is
of ordinary thin colored paper. The
body, or 5S2 pages (including titles
and blanks,) are in long primer and
small pica, mixed, but they are. all
rated at long primer, making 1,377
ems to the page ; 34 pages brevier,
2,013 ems each; 28 minion, 2,3)2
ems each; 4 nonpareil, rule and fig
ure, 7,13S ems each; total, 963,144
ems. The pay allowed lor compo
sition is 60 cents per 1,000 ems; and
for paper about $7,20 per ream—
the supposed highest possible prices
paid in 1868. The stitching and
binding was estimated by a binder
upon looking at the book. It is also
due to the practical printer, furnish
ing the above ‘rough estimate,’ to
state that he would ‘almost be will
ing, if not quite willing,’ to print
such a book at the sum, $2,420, put
down by him as the “actual cost,’.
See., without the 8726 profits allow
ed by me in the $3,146 fooling up.
But to go still farther, Mr. Editor,
and put the matter beyond any
squabble whatever, and to cover any
imaginable charge, either contin
gent, remotely, or in any other way,
I will add $500 more, and then it
will be seen that Mr. Comptroller
Bell has given his Augusta friends
$6,500 that they are no more enti
tled to than you or I.
A Jury Verdict of not less than $7,000.
I cannot but believe, however,
lhat if the Comptroller and his se
curities suffer this matter to go be
fore any fair and honest jury, upon
a thorough sifting of it, they will
render a verdict in favor of the
State for over $7,000, besides inter
est. If the Stale cannot hold the
Comptroller responsible on his bond
for such a thing as this, and recover
this money, then, in my opinion, the
requiring a $20,000 bond from a
Comptroller to prevent illegal pay
ments from the Treasury, and lo se
cure a faithful discharge of duty, is
a mere farce.
But let a committee of investiga
tion look into this matter. While
doing so, 1 should not be surprised
if ‘something else’ is discovered.
If no oilier ‘error’ or ‘errors’ are dis
covered by said committee, I will
predict, that, if the Legislature elects
the right kind of Comptroller to
succeed Mr. Bell—such a one as is
described in my number four arti
cle. I can but believe that this
‘right kind of Comptrollers’ will be
more successful! than the committe.

Sewing Machies.—There are
certain women in this country who
are making a prodigious clatter in
speeches, newspaper articles, and
by other means, about what they
call their “rights.” A moment’s
thought, however, will go far to con
vince any candid person that the
sewing machine has been a more
effectual aid in giving to women
generally their “rights” than all the
clamor made by them from the days
of Xanthippe to the present time.
The back-ache, the round shoulders,
the diminished eye-sight, the weak
ened nerves, which were inevitable
attendants of sewing by the old
process, have disappeaied, and in
this new domestic dispensation a
woman can do the sewing of her
family without injury to her bodily
health, and have time left for other
things.
It is interesting, at this time, af
ter the lapse of a quarter of a cen
tury, to notice the proportions to
which the sewing machine business
has grown. It appears from the
returns made by the different com
panies for the year 1871, that the
Singer Sewing Machine Company
alone sold 1S1,260 machines last
year. This was the largest num
ber sold by any one company, ex
ceeding the next highest number
said by more than fifty thousand,
and the third highest number by
more than one hundred and thirty
thousand. The popularity of the
Singer machine is further shown by
the fact that out of 2,944 machines
ordered by the-Chicago Relief Com
mittee up to the ninth of the present
month, for the citizens of that city,
2,427 were of the Singer pattern.
These enormous figures indicate the
importance of the sewing machine
busines to-day, when it has but just
passed its majority, and make it
difficult to conjecture what it will
become in the future.—N. Y. Even-

MIDSUMMER MALADIES. j
The hot solar rays that ripen the bar- ,
vests generate many (listresing diseases.!
If the liver be at all predi posed to ir
regularities, this is the season in which I
bilious attacks may be anticipa’ed. A |
weak stomach, too, is weakest in the !
summer months, and the loss of vitality j
i through the pores by’excessive perspira- j
lion, is so great, that a wholesome tonic,
combining also the properties of a diffu- J
give stimulant ami gentle exhilaraut, is
in many cases necessary to health, and
under no circumstances should be dis
pensed with by the sickly and dehilita'-
ed. Of all the preparations iutended
thus to refresh, sustain and fortify the
human frame, there is none that will
compare with Hostetter’s Celebrated
Stomach Bitters. They have been
weighed in the balance of experience
and not found wanting; have been re
commended from the first as a great
medicinal specific, not as a beverage,
and in spite of interested opposition from
innumerable interested quarters, stand,
after a twenty years trial, at the head of
all proprietary medicines intended for
the prevention and cure of all ordinary
complaints of the stomach, the fiver, the
bowels, and the nerves. In the un
healthy districts bordering the great
rivers of California, Hostetter’s Stomach
Bitters may bo classed as the standard
one for every species of intermittent or
remittent fever. The people who in
habit those districts, place the most im
plicit confidence in the preparation—a
confidence that is increased uvery year
by the results of its operation.
As bitters, so called, of the most per
nicious character, are springing up like
fungi on every side, the public is here
by forewarned against the dram-shop
frauds. Ask for Hotstetter’s Bitters, see
that the label, etc., are correct, and re
member that the genuine article is never
sold in bulk, but in bottles only. Aug.

Vitalize the Hair.—Why does the
hair become harsh and dry—why
does it tall out—why does it become
gray ? Simply because the life has
gone out of it. The fibers draw
sustenance from the scalp as the
grass draws aliment from the soil,
and when the supply ot nutriment is
cut off, in either case the product
withers and dies. At the first symp
tom of decay, therefore, the unfed or
half-fed roots of the hair should be
refreshed and reinforced with Lyon's
Kathairon, the only preparation
which will nourish the filaments and
keep them in a vigorous condition
after they have begun to suffer from
a deficiency of their natural stimu
lant. As long as the Kathairon is
faithfully used, with a proper de
gree of friction, morning and eve
ning. so long will it be impossible
for the hair to whiten or fall out
from the scalp.

T HESE GINS were sold the past season
fur the first time. Thry are made under
Mr. Gollett's personal supervision, at his
works in Louisiana, who never allows ono to
be sent from his works until it has been fully
tested, and made to gin perfectly in every res
pect. This mode of testing is very important
to the purchaser, as he does not run the risk
of receiving and setting up a Gin to find it, on
trial, to be imperfect.
The IMPROVED GIN differs materially
from the Steel Brush Gin formerly sold by us,
inasmuch as the Steel Brush has three brush
es, while the New Gin has but one.
We guarantee every Gin to be of very light
draft, to thoroughly clean the seed, and make
a superior sample. Besides, it is simple in
its construction, easily adjusted and gins very
fast.
We respectfully refer to all those who have
used the Improved Gin the past Winter. . „ . ,
Planters wishing Gins will consult their own • amount can be made, r or circulars aud terms,
