They are not a vile Fancy Drliiß* made ot Poor

quors doctored, spiced and sweetened to please the taste,
called “Tonics,” “Appetizers,” “Restorers,” Sic., that
lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin, but are a true
Medicine,made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali
fornia, free from all Alcoholic Stimulants.
They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and
A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno
vator and Invigorator 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 nnwell,provided their bones
ore; not destroyed by mineral poison or other means,
and the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair.
They are a Gentle Purgative as well as a
Tonic* 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 for
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 and Intermittent tFevers,
Diseases of the Blood* Liver* Kldueys aud
Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful.

Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, arc the
oflsprings of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid
Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi
cacy in cleansing the blood of all imparities, and impart
ing new life and vigor to the whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sail

eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally
dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by
the use of these Bitters. One bottloinsuch cases will
convince, the most Incredulous of their curative effects.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im
purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup
tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and
sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul, ahd
your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure,
and the health of the svstem will follow.
Flu* Tape* and other Worms, lurking in the
■fstem of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed
and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there
la scarcelyindividual upon the face of the earth

is not upon the healthy elements of the body that
worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy
deposits that breed these living monsters of disease. No

will free the system from worms like these Bitters.

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 imo 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*
mem from the State Treasury, on
the 2Sth 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.
ISGS, 4 th Section of Act of Oclo
bn-, 7, 1870.’
IS7I.
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
Ifadical paper called the Georgia
Republican, or some other ‘Republi
can,’ in 186S, it also did other prin
ting.
After my attention was called to
the matter, thinking it rather strange
that this account made in 186Sv re
mained unpaid so long, I concluded
to refer to the act of October 7th,
1870. for information. All that I
could there learn was (see page 432,
pamphlet act 1570,) that act enti
tled ‘An act to protect the credit of
the State” was passed. The Ist,
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
Stale But the 4th section, which
was intended to cover, and to ap
propriate money for this claim, reads
as follows :
‘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 in settlement of the Conven
tion Tax due to the Stale ; and the
Comptroller General be, and be 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 matle out ‘according to law,’
&c.,) betore they were authorized to
be paid, and consequently the Comp
troller was only authorized to allow
them to be paid according to law.
Now what was, and is the law in
relation to printing done for the
Stale? 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 1038 th section oflhe
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 em
ployed, and present the same to His
Excellency the Governor, who may
allow or reject said account, or any
part thereof, as in his judgment may
seem right and ju3t.’
And section 1044 of the Code
reads as follows:
‘All printing other than that per
formed by the Public Printer, which
necessity may demand, shall be
printed at the Seat of Government,
or such other place ps may be nec
essary in the discretion of the Gov
ernor, under his direction and super
vision, upon reasonable rales, to be
paid out of the Contingent Fund.’
By the above sections of the Code
it will be seen that it was, and is the
duty of the Governor, generally, to
audit accounts for printing done for
the Slate, but he could not, and can
not pay him over thirty per cent,
profit on the actual cost of the ma
terial and labor employed, &c. And
as he was only authorized to pay
•liters than the Public Primer ‘rea
sonable rates,’ he could not go be
yond the thirty per cent, profit au
thorized to be paid the Public Prin
ter, in paying others for printing
done, Alc. 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 wbat was the Comptroller’s
duty under the Code, and this act
of October, 1870? Was it not his
duty before auditing or allowing
this account to be paid, for 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 labor em
ployed, and even then, had 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 of
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 belore a Legislative Commit
tee, which, I suppose, will look in
to the matter. If he did require
the ‘oath,’ &c., while he is not re
lieved from responsibility for not
rejecting this account, it is my opin
ion that the person about Augusta
who made the ‘oath’ will stand a
good chance to work under Grant,
Alexander A Cos. It Mr. Bell did
not require the oath, then it is tny
opinion that Mr. Bell and bis securi
ties will have to refund to the State,
if they cannot make or induce thes«
friends of his in Augusta to ‘dis
gorge.’
That you and your readers, Mr.
Editor, may understand the lorego
ing remarks, I will here stale, that
although no printer myself, upon
seeing this Journal of the Conven
liot:, and tht amount paid for 1,500
copies of it, being well satisfied that
the State had been largely dama
ged in this transaction, a friend of
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, who bar
gains for work done in bis 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
ihe ‘actual cost of labor and mate
rial’ employed in printing this book
in 1868,’ and his estimate is as fol
lows :
Composition, or typi-setting (round
numbers.) S6OO
Cost of paper, (round numbers,) 500
Press Work “ “ 300
Stitching and Binding (round numbers.) 200
Prof-reading and make up, 600
Wear and and tear of mat*riel 220
2,420
To which odd 30 per cent profit 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.
1 send you a copy of 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
1968. As it will not lake him half
an hour to do, 1 trust you will stale
the result of his estimate when you
publish this article.
That printers, generally, however,
may understand the above estimate,
1 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 582 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, 2,312
ems each; 4 nonpareil, rule and fig
ure, 7,138 ems each; total, 963,144
ems. The pay allowed for 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,’
&c., without the $726 profits allow
ed by me in the $3,146 footing up.
But to go still farther, Mr. Editor,
and put the mailer heyond any
squabble whatever, and to cover any
imaginable charge, either contin
gent, remotely, or in any other way,
I will add SSOO more, and then it
will he seen that Mr. Comptroller
Bell has given his Augusta friends
56,500 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,
that if the Comptroller and his se
curities stiller tiiis 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 State cannot hold the
Comptroller responsible on bis bond
for such a thing as lhi ; , 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 to 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 he surprised
if ‘something else’ is discovered.
If no other ‘error’ or ‘errors’ are dis
covered by said committee, 1 will
predict, that, if the Legislature elects
the right kind of Comptroller to
succeed Mr. Bell—such a one us is
described in my number four arti
cle. I can but believe that this
‘right kind of Comptrollers’ will be
more successful! than the commiltc.

Cure for Snnke Bilfj.
To the Editor of the Courier Journal:
Having seen the -notice of the
mad dogs rampant in Louisville a
few weeks ago, l have felt frequent
promptings to give you a few facts—
five facts. When a boy I was snake
bitten. The snake was called a
house 'snake. Various remedies
were used. The third night I be
came partially delirious. The neigh
bor sitting up with me waked my
parents, thinking I was about dy
ing. My father, as an experiment,
mixed me a dose of epsotn salts.
They gave immediate relief, and 1
soon got well. The next year 1
hadayourtger brother bitten by a
copperhead. One dose of salts on
ly was given (when three, four, five
or six ought to have been adminis
tered.) He got well in half the time
I did. The next year I was bitten
by a copperhead on the 6th day of
August. One dose of salts only was
given, and I got well in half the
time of the first case.
I told these facts to a physician,
Dr. John B. Whittaker, a member
of my church inE. B. parish, Louis
iana, Plain’s Store P. O. He told
me of two other facts. A lady was
bitten by a rattlesnake’s pilot. He
gave her a large dose of salts and
applied aqua ammoniatothe wound.
She soon got over it. A terrier dog
was bitten by a large rattlesnake al
ter dinner in the cotton field. He
sent a negro to the house for a large
dose of salts. When the negro re
turned the dog was helpless. He
made the negroes hold him up, pry
open his jaws, and poured the salts
down. He left the dog lying slifFon
the ground. By sundown the ani
mal came in wagging his tale of re
covery.
If I were bitten by a rabid dog,
I should certainly use epsom salts
every day as a cathartic tor two or
three weeks, as the. doctors don’t
know any specific.

Caterpillar.—A private letter
from Gordon, Henry county, Ala.,
received yesterday by Messrs, Sol
omon, Bowdon & Belser, and writ
ten on the slh inst., says that the
caterpillar is increasing to an alarm
ing extent in the .fields below that
point, and where rain has fallen ev
ery day during the last week or ten
days. They have riddled the cot
ton in various places. They are now
pretty general on both sides of the

A Strong Argument. —The Cleave
land Leader says: “II Horace Gree
ley should be elected President, the
United States Courts might as well
dismiss all criminal trials for the
four years of his term. The man
who bailed Jeff Da vis would pardon
every smuggler and mail robber and
counterfeiter and Ku Klux and de
frauder of the revenue in the land.”
This is the strongest appeal in fa
vor of Greeley we have yet seen
from a Grant organ, and if the Lead
er can only convince the Radical
parly that its statement is true, Gree
ley must necessarily got all their
votes —for are not the “smugglers,
mail robbers, counterfeiters, Ku
Klux, and defrauders of the revenue
in the land,” members ot that party ?

[ A “James” Trick. —Some friend
|of J- H. James states in the Atlanta
Cinstitution, that Gov. Smith declar
ed, in his speech here, that he favor
ed the removal of the Government
to Willedgeville, and denounced At*

Governor said nothing of the sort.
Our people extended their hospitali
ty to him as an honest Democratic
Governor of Georgia, and made no
selfish effotl to pump him on local
matters. The whole interview was
such as would gratify a true Geor

A suspicious character is apt to de
serve suspicion.— Recorder.
Hie 1 ulbollon American makes
this explicit charge :
\\ e arc more fortunate than many
of his would-be constituents, in the
means of knowing this gentleman’s
position on that point. Mr. James
himself, :n the hearing of a respec

nominated, he would be a candidate
anyhow; and more than that, he would
be elected',-and we are prepared to

—A gentleman in Brunswick coun

John M ason Brown, Esq., of Lex

Brown, of Missouri, in reply to a
request for the genealogy of the
Brown family, from which it ap
pears that John Brown, the great

Changes in the Bankrupt Law.
—Congress, on Monday, passed a
bill amendatory of the bankrupt law.
It allows all exemptions allowed by
any Slate law on the Ist day of Jan
uary, IS7I. It also exempts a wid
ow’s dower, or other estate in lieu
thereof, if the State law so provides!
also life insurance to the amount ot
live thousand dollars. The time
during which bankrupts may be dis
charged upon payment of fifty per
cent, of their indebtedness is extend
ed until July 1, 1573; judgment
obtained against persons or proper
ty, before petitions in bankruptcy
are filed, are to be first and fully sat
isfied. Changes in the methods of
appointing registrars, in the matter
of marshal’s fees and other less im
portant particulars, are also made.
North Carolina. —This will be
the first Slate to vole in this canvas,
and a desperate attempt is making
by the Ad ministration to secure
there its earliest prestige. On the
3d of August the election takes
place for Governor, Legislative and

Grand Presidential Struggle for 1872
Telegraph ty" Messenger.
The campaign for 1878 will be a gi
gantic and convulsive straggle. Noth
ing like it bas been seen since 1840, and
in the momentous and fundamental
character of the issues involved, we trnst
nothing like it need occur again in the
history of the United States. We hope
it will result in the re-establishment of
the great foundation principles of civil
and personal freedom and its time-hon
ored muniments—of the local indepen
dence of the States—of the freedom of
the ballot—of the impartiality of public
justice—of the integrity of Executive
administration—of the inviolability of
the habeas corpus—of the triumph of
law and the Constitution—and in tbe
complste victory of peace, conciliation,
national haraiony and tranquility over
the demon of discord, usurpation, tyran
ny, hatred, and the great moral aud sec
tional war proclaimed by Graut, Morton
and Butler.
In Georgia, however it may be else
where, tbe result of this contest is not at
all problematical; but an intense and
overwhelming interest will nevertheless
be felt in its progress and result, and
tbe grand medium of information ben
will be the different editions of the
