that the above aiatpte has never been repealed, but I-
ls foil force and sFsat. We are aware of no hindrance
to the enforcement of the statute. This la leap year
and parties are becoming ?e. y fashionable In our

By the way, we have heard of two or three orders

•ick. spoke at the importance of good ________
In securing a true anecesi. He said that the funds
should eon— from benevolent, religious men giving

foods are given by each persona, they will carefully
itshed, and it will be maintained as a charitable insti
tution for the benefit of tho— for whom It was origi
nally intended. I oo often poUtxai rings obtain con
trol ever public charities when conducted by muni

avoided. The givers moat be the managers; those
wbo have the heart to fivs of their aabatance for the
Til- benevolence of the aty mart beorgaalcsd. it

is needed in the wurk of aiding the needy; without

The question now is. Will the religions acd 1

Hs believed they weald, and that under the instruc
tion and ga loanee of their pastors they would estab-
iisii and endow a hospital which would be a lasting
bicering. Donations would ha followed by legader.
a«.d ths poor of this time and of future times would
be bles—o tor its ministrations.
The Academy of Medicine having taken the initia
tive tn this matter, would rely cm toe zealous efforts
of the pastors t»carry on this sacred work.
In reply to n question as to tho scale cm which they
propose to begin the Hospital. Dr. Cummlcg stated
thu a ward thooud contain twenty-five or thirty bed*.
'I hers muxt be at least foar wards, two for white*
and two for colored persons. It teems therefore
neces—ry to have from 100 to ISO beds at the least.
The wants of the community would soon require an
lucre*— of wards, but a beginning might be made
with this number.
Rev. Mr. Dickey thought there might be difficulties
in raising the necessary funds.
Dr. Ixyau said that if ever wa were t)have a Hos
pital. the work must have a beginning. Ha thought
»h «t we ought to begin now; the work bad been al
ready too lung deferred. Tbs need ia gr. at; it la felt
plm fora Hospital Association.
This re—iatlon h tvlng been aaopted. Dr. Cumming
and Rev. Messrs. Evans aod Harris were appointed.
The chairman remarked that be bad known, and
somewhat intimately, the condition of the poor In
Atisnta for six >car*. I a 1867, aa agent for the dis
tribution or provisions, be had seen them sick and
suffering and djrinsr. He knew the helplessness o
their stale when sick, destitute as they were of the
comforts so necexeary at such tim—. The pastors
ana physicians knew and felt tbs importance of this
work. An appeal to the people in bonalf of this
much needed charity should be i ripa.ed and pub
lished.
Dr. Logan move 1 that the natters be Invited to pre
pare an address cm this subject. Adopted.
Dr. dimming moved that the chairman be request
ed to coz.vene the pastors for this purpose. Adopted.
Dr. Lngau moved that this mectingdo now adjourn,
to nu-ct again at the rame place on Thursday, the 8th

Navrpw Gauge Halt roada
R. If. Lamboona, Vice-President of the
Denver and Rio Gramie Railroad, writes that
there arc 78 narrow gauge (railroads in thU
country, of three feet gauge.
Tbe Denver Road was built at leas than
three-fifths cost of the broad gauge roads,
has been wording two months, and it earns
as much as these roads, »hlU doing the work
as well. Narrow gauge for trunk fines is
recommended.
The enthusiasm for narrow gauge is grow
ing. The Union Pacific will change its
gauge. The Texas Pacific, 1,900 miles long,
will be narrow gauge.
So narrow gauge is rising.
An Anti-Woman nights Ban Needed.
Colonel Dunging, our Postmaster, appears
in another column, as a woman's rights man,

ours. VTe trust the challenge will be accept

it will sdd eclat to the occasion.
Now if we can get a champion for the poor

qualify him well, will volunteer. We await
tbe response of these genii'
Fraudulent Misrepresentations. —
Among the pernicious frauds of the period,
there is one which especially deserves the
reprehension of nil who place n proper value
on health and life. The swindle referred to
consists in the attempts of irresponsible
parties, in different sections of the United
States, to force upon the market vile astrin
gent compounps manufactured ont of dam
aged or worthless drugs and refuse liquors, as
preparations possessing the rare medicinal
virtues of tl.c most popular and eflicaciousof
all vegetable tonics and alteratives—lloslct-
ter’s Stomach Bitters.
The concoctors pf these “Leal bitters” are,
in the truest sense of the phrase, public
enemies. The fiery potions iuflamc the
stomachs, stu.iify the bruins, and shatter tho
nerves of those '.j'bo are uuwise enough to
accept them as substitute* *or 'lie famous
Vegetable Invigoruul, tli.it for twenty years
has been known throughout the Western
Hemisphere ns a standard article.
The fame of Hostetler's Billets nsabenlth-
prcserving, vitalising medicine, is us wide as
the world, and the misruhie attempts of
needy nostrum mongers to supplant it would
lie treated with silent contempt, were it not
that serious consequences sometimes follows
the use of the nefarious compounds in ques
tion. Yf hoover recommends any of them as
remedies for ’Dyspepsia, Rilliousiiess, Consti
pation, Intermittent Fever, Rheumatism, or
any other complaint for which Hostetler's
BiiUri, is guilty of moral, if hot a legal rnis-
demcanor. 1 At this season, when the sun is
releasing'froth the earth, in the form of un

A letter from Messrs. Henry Clews & Co.,
in relation to the bond transactions with the
State of Georgia, appears in another col
umn. It will be seen that a good deal of
space is devoted to an attack upon the hon
esty of Dr. Angier, the Stale Treasury, but
the proofs adduced in its support are insuffi
cient Dr. Angier may be mistaken in his
views regarding the setion of Messrs. Clews
«.t Co., but it is only just to says that his
character for personal integrity stands very
high. He has fooght persistently to protect
the people of Georgia from the scandalous
robberies of Bullock and his confederates,
aod though the latter have made every exer
tion to get him out of office on trumped-up
charges, their attacks have only resulted in
gaining him friends among honest men of all
shades of political opinion.
It seems a little strange for Messrs. Clews
& Co. to any that Dr. Aogier was a person to
be avoided, whether iu official or individual
capacity, and yet to find them engaged in
confidential relations with Bullock. Bnt
really, this personal matter has nothing to
do with the merits of the questions at issue,
in regard to which the letter of Messrs. Clews
& Co. gives a full statement of their side of
the case.
Mr. Clews lias recently published a letter
covering many of the same pom's in The
Atlanta Constitution. This letter is
eharply criticised in the Atlanta Sun, and in
regard to Mr. Clews' plea that he had been
assured by the Governor, the Secretary of
the State, and the Comptroller-General of
Georgia, at various times in January to June,
1871, that tbe bonds he received were valid,
the Sun quotes from the report of the Treas
urer, a copy of wliicb it says was •furnished
to Mr. Clews early in January, 1871, this
sentence: “Over four and a half millions of
new State bonds hsve been issued, which tbe
Governor, in bis anxiety to keep concealed
from the Treasury Department,failed to have
executed and registered as the law requires.”
It also publishes a letter written in Novem
ber, to Got. Bullock, by Mr. R. W. La'.liam,
of the home of Jay Cooke & Co, in which
Mr. Latham distinctly informs the Governor
that, after examining the different acts re
specting State bonds, be could see no way to
make tho bonds “a good delivery” short of
tbe State Treasurer signing them officially
and placing them on record with a full de
scription, as required by law—the inference
being that Mr. Clews must have been equally
well informed.
The Sun also says that the Governor not
only issued bonds in violation of law, bnt
that he kept what he did conceal from tbe
Treasurer as far as possible, and in this the
Snn contends that he must have had the as
sistance of Mr. Clewa It will- be seen that
the controversy has provoked great bitter
ness of feeling on both sides; and we pre
sume that it is still from being ended
Dr. Angier sends the following reply to
tbe New York Sun, wbicli we are permitted
to publish. Tbe statements in the reply,
where allusion is made to the chief editor ot
this paper, are correct.
We have not space for comment to-day,
but shall have something to say hereafter:
State Treasurer's Office, )
Atlanta, Ga , January 20,2372. )
To the Editor of the Aew York Daily Sun.
Sm; First thanking you for vour editorial
on the attack of Henry Clewa & Co., in your
issue of the 25tb, 1 ask the favor of being
heard ip the statement of a few fsptjl
In the indorsement of a portion of the
bonds of the Brunswick and Albany Rail
road Company, upon which Clews places
such stress, I was simply complying with tbe
net of tbe Legislature making jt my duty to
indorse the bonds. It was nfit my' prqrincc
to decide whether or not lije act jjras ponsti-
tdtional, this belonged to another tribunal.
The overissue of these bonds was after the
act of indorsing was taken out of my bands
and placed in Bullock’s by bis bayonet Legis
lature, as I would not deliver tbe bonds as
fast as the Btillock-C'lcws Nind ring wanted
them. This is the very Legislature thnt Bul
lock sought to prolong through Congressional
interference, in which he had auxiliaries in
Cicws, Avery, Kimlmll, Rice and others of the
bond ring influence, which was tho occasion
of my visiting Washington City so often in
the latter'part "of ISO!?, and tjic first four
months of 1670, to prevent the' consumma
tion of thus wicked plot, knowing full well if

Now, sir, there are three influential dailies
published in this city, all of which have
time and again published the burlesque side
of tbe question, whether woman should or
should not, under a common law, have the
right to vote as well as men.
The “mnltitode” who read these slurs con
clude that the question is without defense or
a defender, and without ever stopping to in
quire why you waste your amuuLion so free
ly upon dead game.
For the purpose of making you and others
“go faster or slower in thought,” I now pre
sent the following challenge to debate pub
licly the question:
.“Should or should not tbe privilege of
voting be allowed to woman.''
I will take the affirmative. My opponent
most squarely assume the negative. The de
bate shall be for two evenings, and equal
division of time. My opponent most be re
spected in private life and gentlemanly in de
bate, and my wish is that lie mar be selected

The sessions of Congress immediately pro
ceeding a Presidential election are usually
dull, nnd the present session, thus far, has not
been an e-Leepti-m to the g'.-neral rule. At
S icnt writing absolutely nothing has been
e, and universal dullness pervades the
capitoL Both Houses meet, and their mem
bers fritter away a few .hours daily until
Thursday or Friday of each week, and then
an adjournment ia effected until Monday.
Even tbe csramiltcce, who have plenty of
work before them, have done little or nothing
On the House side several contested election
ca es remain unsettled, and there i3 no end of
other business requiring consideration. Mach
of this is of-R private nature, and of minor
importance; but there must be a great deal of
public legislation perfected before tho ad
journment or the interests of the country will
suffer. Yet Mr. Morton, in the Senate, is
pressing his resolution for an adjournment
in May, amove which.hc is making in the
interest of tbe Radicals. The policy of the
Democrats is to keep Congress in session well
into the summer; and as warm weather
comes on we shall doubtless have long ses
sions, both day and night.
Outside of the Capitol there is also general
complaint of dullness. The merchants com-
nlain of a scarcity of customers and tbe
tightness of the money market; and the
restanrenters say they are doing nothing like
their usual butiscss. The National Theater,
our only place of amusement, Is to close next
month. It had been handsomely refitted and
tbe pieces brought out were put on tbe stage
with unusual care anl attention to scenic ef
fect. Yet the manager is now heavily out
of pocket aud is compelled to dismiss his
company in tbe middle of the season. The
attendance at the first of tbe Thomas con
certs, given a4 Lincoln Hell last evening,
would seem todisprove this condition of of
fing
plunder.
This Is tlie very Legislature ont of which
Bullock selected a committee to do his dirty
work, at least a large portion of whom were
willing tools of bis deepest schemes of vil-
lany, and are fit sulnects for Clews to refer to
in his designs of slander.

some light on this subject Certain it is,
Kimball managed to get $33,000 from Mr.
Johns on $50,000 new currency bonds t th'.t
Clews told Johns the new currency bonds
were ail right and that he was injuring h'm-
self and the bonds by making a fuss; that
Johns under the terms of the n ego lion finally
sold the bonds at auction, and bought the
$'0,000' in' hithselt for $10,005, wlucq Clears
knew, while at the same' time he was pro
testing that he knew nothing of the cnrrency
bonds, when, besides the above, he had $800,-
000 of them in his own bands, and still has
them.
Colonel Averv, in The Dajlv ppKoUTU-
noxof tbe 2ltt instant, in Speaking of CleWs,
makes this statement:
“Last August be told mo that he knew
nothing of the currency bonds Bollock had
issued without registry, and for anbstitntion
for whichgold bonds long before bad been
issued. He then sought to impress me that

though according to his rendered account, the
State only owes him a balance of some forty-
six or seven odd thousand dollars, for which
be holds as collateral $100,000 of the gold
bonds. Mr. Johns, of Brooklyn, held $50,-
000 of the' Curieucy bonus upou vbi.ch be
bad loaned H. L Kjiqball §35,000, and' sayS
Clews knew of the loan,"
I do not desire to prolong this article, or
deal in hard words, or accuse any falsely 11

was past mid-day when he visited me—he

that he came all'tue way cu purpose tq see

respecting Georgia new bonds. During the
conversation he stated that he called on
Clews to jajjnire abont the bonds, and at the
same time noticed a Bne looking, portly man
in Clews’ office, and Inquired of Clews if it

THE AGGRESSIONS OF THE SENATE.
A careful observer of the proceedings of
the United States Senate cannot fail to no
tice its gradual endowments on tlie preroga
tive of the House of Representatives, which
is of and for the people. It is well known
that the Senate has no power to originate leg
islation affecting the finances of the country,
yet that is wt’at Mr. Sherman proposed to do
the other day with reference to the salt, corn,
tea, and codec bills. Mr. Trumbull felt
called upon to remunerate, but Mr. Sherman
carried bis point. We bad another illustra
tion of this tendency the present week, whoa
the Senate lwd up the apportionment bill, in-
creasing the number of Representatives from
243 to 2S3. This bill docs not affect the Sen
ate in any degree, and yet the bill was
amended so as t<Y retain tlie present number
of Representatives. In this rction we see
also the influence of New England, which is
so potent in Washington. Under the ap
portionment kill as passed by the House,
several of tbe New England Mates lose Rep
resentatives because of the decrease of their
population; while, tho growing Slates of tbe
West and Bomb receives Ibe increased Rep-*
resention In which tlieir numbers entitle
them. While sogie may doubt tbe expedi
ency of increasing, the number of Rcpnecn-
tatircs, every one must admit that a reap-
portiunment is needed. This siipnld be tinge
by taking from llife States which have lost
population, and adding to those which have
gained. Under the apportionment bill which
passed the Home, and which the House will
certainly adhere to, the Georgia delegation
is increased from seven to nine.
