For the last fiscal year the Post
master General re]>ort.- a deficiency of
nearly five million dollars. The ex
penditures show a small Increase, and
the receipts a heavy falling off', re
sulting from the smaller sales of post
age stumps and a less business in the
money order business. The former
last year yielded $1,250,000 and the
present one under $380,000. This lias
occurred through an insufficient law
of Radical manufacture, which pro
vides for the payment of ninety-six
per cent, of the salaries of postmas
ters through percentages on their
sales, and tile postmasters dispose of
them in a mode not contemplated.
A country postmaster, tho New York
Herald explains, is generally in busi
ness, and lie pays the city merchant
of whom he purchases goods partly
in postage slumps. Of tile stamps
thus disposed of tile Government gels
only a small percentage. The mer
chant receiving the stamps, of course,
does not purchase of his city ]>ostmas-
ter, who receives a regular salary, and
makes full return to the Government
of- all the money lie receives for
stamps. The Postmaster General
recommends salaries for all postmas
ters and tlie full receipt of all postage
stamp sales by the Government.
The Postmaster General makes
some sensible suggestion in relation
to the railroad postal service. The
railroad companies have at all times
shown a sincere desire to afford every
accommodation to the department.
But there is nothing to prevent their
refusal to carry the malls should any
disagreement arise, it is suggested
tliut the service should he made com
pulsory on tlie roads at sucli fair com
pensation as might, in case of disa
greement between tlie roads and tlie
department, he adjusted by a court of
arbitration.
To make the office sustaining it
will lie necessary to change some
features of tlie present system, but the
lopping off of any portion of tlie
service would lie a hardship on tlie
people. Better it is that there should
lie a detleieney than tlie sparsely set-
lied sections of tlie country should tie
deprived of mail facilities.

It assembled in Chattanooga Fri
day. Fro'*t a dispatch in tlie Const!
Frank Ramie, a prisoner about
whom many columns are published
in the Western newspapers, was cap
tured near St. Louts after lie had kill
ed two or four policemen who had
hunted him down. Last summer lie
murdcacd a man wantonly in St.
Elmo, 111., and was chased by a mob.
He shot down three leaders of the
pursuers, one after another, using ids
revolver with wonderful coolness and
skill. Doubtless tlie crimes attribut
ed him are exaggerated, but it seems
certain that he lias killed seven men
in quarrels. He'is young, educated,
and has occupied Methodist and I’res-
byteriun pulpits, lie also writes poe-
try, usually in praise of tlie beauties
of women.
The recent letter of Gov. Straw,
of Now Hampshire, attempting to
show tlie advantages of New Eng
land manufactories over those of tlie
Routti, results in an overwhelming
victory for tlie South. The Granite
State Free Press, Nashua Telegraph,
and n score of other New England
papers admit this. Tlie Free I
confesses that “the South is rapidly
driving the North out of tlie market
in brown goods, standard sheetings
and shirtings." The Ttlei/raph goes
even further, and thinks that "cotton
manufacturing in New Hampshire
has seen its best days." It foresees
the day when the South will advance
from the manufacture of the coarser
goods it now makes to liner fabrics,
and warns the capitalists and mill
men of New Hampshire to lie pre
pared for that emergency, and to de
velop now other manufactures in
which they can engage without fear
of this competition.

Montgomery Advertiser, of Thursday.)
The Coroner’s Jury met at 11
o’clock this morning pursuant to ad-
ournment.
Mr. C. Bpear, as an expert, testified
after comparing the Tiote with Sliss
Sharp’s undisputed handwriting, that
the note was her genuine handwrit
ing beyond doubt; that the general
make up u'as the same, nnd the simi
larity was too striking to be it coun
terfeit. Witness had been In tlie
•anking business nliout nine years.
Mr. Frank Joseph, as an expert,
testified that he did not consider him
self an expert, but was familiar with
various handwritings, nnd believes
tlie note was genuine.
Mr. 1. B. Faunce, wsh sworn as an
extiert in deciphering handwriting :
He said he wits not an expert, but was
familiar with different kinds of hand
writing; said there was n great simi
larity in tlie writing of tlie note in
question and other writing of the
young Indy shown him; he said lie
wouldn't say that It was the same,
but that it’ was very much alike;
thought the handwriting of one note
was as good as any other of the notes
shown; that if the note was n coun
terfeit it wus a good one; the note
said to have been written by her was
not written by a nervous hand, be
cause the italicising of the words
‘because we love each other” Indi
cated hurried excitement: had seen
great similarity in hand writing before
which proved to have been written
by different persons.
' Mr. G. Parker, school teacher, said
he was a teacher of penmanship, and
considered himself ntt expert in de
tecting writing. The note was shown
him; lie said there was great similar
ity between It and tlie undisputed
handwriting, but that the note wits
written by another hand: would say
they were written by different per
sons; said there was it strong resem
blance in tlie cupital I’s; that there
was a strong resemblance, in fact, in
the several features; thought the first
note was written carefully, and not
by a nervous hand.
Capt. J. W. Powell, us an expert
was sworn. Said he was an expert,
and could produce a fat: simile of any
writing on tlie table iih evidence that
he was an expert: suid lie thought
after examining the notes that tlie
writings were the same, written by
tlie same parties; that the several
make-up of them were tlie same; that
there was a disposition of all letters
that rose above tlie line to loop; com
pared words in tlie two notes and
showed, us stated, that ttiey were
alike; thought they were written by
the same person, and that tills was a
genuine note, said that he thought
tlie note last written and left by her
was written composedly; said the di
rection of the note said to have been
left by her was written in a different
hand from tlie note itself.
Mr. A. J. Lund testified : That he
was a miller; lives aliout 200 yards
from tlie cemetery; was sitting In his
room .Saturday night between 9 and
10 o’clock and beard two pistol shots;
there was about a minute’s difference
between tlie two shots ; the shooting
was in the cemetery, near tlie track of
tlie Montgomery and Eufaulu Rail
road ; remarked at the time that par
ties were shooting at each otlierdown
on tlie railroad; thought somebody
was being shot nt for stealing; be
lieves now tlmt Nloros! and Miss
Sharp were killed by tlie shots in'
heard.
Dr. J. H. Blue, thinks Miss Sliurp
was in a standing txisition when she
was shot, but tliut it was possible that
she was kneeling or sitting at tlie
time; tills was a matter of conjecture;
the pistol nniHt have fallen from hi*
hand just as his hand fell from his
temple; if tlie pistol had fallen from
her liand it would have fallen mi the
other side.of her ; the ball went en
tirely through her head, and both
sides of liis skull were broken by the
ball, lint tlie ball did not come out

Conover, of Florida, has been inter
viewed, and he talks tbusly :
Where were you born, Mr. Cono-
V< “At an old settlement culled Gran-
berrv, N. J. My family is of Dutch
decent, and used to be called Cowen-
hoven. It became Conover by pro-
nunciatiou u hundred years ago. My
father was a farmer in Grnnberry
1 After telling how lie carpet-bagged
down to Florida and got into tlie
Legislature through negro votes, he
proceeds : ....
“Well, you took your seat in the
Legislature. What was its composi
tion ?”
“There were aliout seventy al
together in both Houses. Di the
House the Republicans had three
majority—on joint ballot only five. I
took my seut in tlie rear of the Legis
lature. I hud just returned from New
York, and dislocated my arm on the
road. My arm was in u sling, and I
had an obscure seat. Tlie first ballot
came off, und three Republicans voted
with all tlie Democrats and elected
me (speaker of tho Assembly. I made
up eaeli committee of one white Re
publican, two negroes or colored Re
publicans, and two Democrats. And
I let the Democrats have the two in
each case. Tlius we had fair repre
sentation, and intelligence, too, on
every committee. Tlie colored and
conservative classes were botli pleas
ed; tlie Ring howled, as usual.
"The Senatorial contest soon fol
lowed, did it not?” „ „ ,
“Very soon. The energy of all the
Ring was now awukened to beat me
for the Senate. There were many
candidates: On the Republican side,
Bisliee (now in Congress, Osborn,
Dickey, Cheasy, and others; on tlie
Democratic side, Walker, Call, Blox-
ham, und Weseott, now Judge of tlie
Supreme Court of Florida. The con
test took three weeks and excited tlie
whole State. In tlie Legislature were
ten carpet-baggers. On or aliout tlie
twenty-third ballot, eight of these
bolted their party, formed one of
Conkling’s holy alliances, and
voted for a Democrat. Instantly
twenty-one Democrats swung over
to me, nnd I got also twenty-two Re
publican votes, among whom were
only two carpet-baggers. I had plen
ty to elect me and to spare."
' “So you went righ't up in a few
weeks from private life to Legislator;
Speaker, Senator?”
“Yes. And then it was shouted
loudly that I had bought my seat.”
“Wrs there any more snarling?”
“Well, Stearns took a delegation to
the Cincinnati Convention. I took
another delegation forConkling. The
Convention recognized me, nnd not
Stearns. So did the National (.'oni-
mittee.”
"Did you support Colliding all
through'}”
"No. I heal’d Thompson, of Indi
ana, say to another man that if he
would help use up Blaine Indiana
would go over to Bristow. 1 didn’t
want any Bristow in mine, so we
voted for'Blainc. I was nominated
against Stearns for Governor, but ho
had the State machinery, and tlie
party all over the country begged me
not to split tlie vote, so l withdrew.”
"Have you made any speeches in
the Senate?”
“Yes, but not many. I spoke oil
Cuban atliiirs, and on tlie railroad
across our peninsular."
“How caiiie you to get over into
South Carolinu and support Butler?"
“Well, I made up my mind some
time ago .that I would see South Car
olina represented by n native, legally
elected man. I found Patterson in a
bud way, und anxious to see Butler
seated, and I thought it was as good
n time as any to trail in the track of
Hayes. I have seen but little of But
ler, and what T have seen I like.”
“Don’t you four that in merely fol
lowing Patterson’s lead you put your
self in an inferior personal relation?”
"You mean that I follow Patter
son! Well, I thought that some peo
ple might say that, but though it's
a little disagreeable, no matter?”
"Why do you choose Butler in one
cuse, Kellogg in another?”
I think their cuses are much alike.

was under the treatment of the physicians

by death. At this time Mr. Hill, the police
officer in my street, called in to see me, and,
after rendering pecuniary assistance to my
family, brought some Vkoktine for
see that I had some more.' After I had been
taking the Vegetine three days the ulcers

three days the pain all left me, nnd my
whole complaint seemed to be pouring out
of me with this corrupted matter. The
Veoktine was not only forcing disease from
me, but it gave me strength from day to day.
When I commenced on the fourth bottle of
Veoktine tlie swelling had all left my leg,
aiul the sore which covered the whole sur
face of my knee commenced to heal next to
the bone. I am now on the sixth bottle: the
sore is entirely healed, and my health so
Improved as to cnnble me to walk all over
town. The Vkoetjne hss saved my life. It
has cured my leg,and restored me to health;

Mu. II. It. Stevens:
In 1872 your Veoktine was recommeded
to me. and, yielding to the persuasions of a
friend, i consented to try it. At 'tlie time I
was suffering from general debility and
nervous prostration, superinduced by over
work and irregular habits, its wonderful
strengthening nnd curative properties
seemed to affect my debilitated system from
the first dose, and under its persistent use I
rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual
health and good feeling. Since then I have
not hesitated to give Vegetine my most
unqualified endorsement as being a safe,
sure and powerful agent in promoting
health and restoring the wasted system to
new life and energy. Vegetine is tlie only
medicine I use, and as long as I live I never
expect to find a better.

The Indians.—Secretary Seliurz
of the Interior Department recom
mends the colonization of tlie savages
on two grand reservations, one west
and theothcreast of the Rocky Moun
tains, witli agents in charge appointed
solely on tlie ground of lit ness, and
with grades of promotion for effi
ciency and faithful service. If tills

with good results upon trial.
He thinks the Indians should
be taught the principles of farming,
along with tlie rudiments of a plain
Knglish education, and be allowed to
own land and cultivate it for their
own benefit. With proper treatment,
and a small lint efficient Indian po
lice force, lie believes that peace and
order can lie maintained among the
redskins until they reach such a con
dition of civilization as to render
them safe and good citizens. The
Secretary’s recommendations looking
to the salvage of tlie government tim
ber in Western forests are next in
importance, and should receive the
earnest consideration of Congress.

Other conditions being equal, there is no
reason whv a healthy man or woman should
not enjoy life; und it may well be doubted
whether adverse fortune hns the power en
tirely to destroy the happiness of one who
sleeps soundly and whose digestion Is good.
But for the nervous, feeble, dyspeptic In
valid there is no comfort in life. His exist
ence is indeed a wretched one. But ho
should not despair of relief. That benignant
restorative, Hostetler's Htomaoh Bitters, has
Imparted healthful vigor to many a self-
supposed incurable. It Is an unequalled
builder up of broken down physiques, and
Is besides a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia,
nervousness, irregular habit “of body, bil
iousness and kidney and bladder difficul
ties. It eliminates from tlie blood the acrid
element which gives rise to rhuematte ail
ments, cheers and relieves the aged nnd in

tage by ladles In feeble health. Its perfect
purity also commends It to the use of in-
