The Galphin Claim.
We publish, to-day, so much of the speech ol
Hon. A. H. Stephens, of the 13th January last,
as has reference to the Galphin claim, and is
in vindication of it, of the claimants, and of
the Hon. Grorgk W. Crawford, the Attorney
employed to prosecute it. This is a clear, con
densed and complete statement of the nature and
merits of this much abused and misrepresented
claim, and we bespeak for it a candid pttrttsal.
Never was there a more meritorious claim—
never one established by plainer documentary
evidence, or more solemnly recognized by leg
islative acta. This is but a repetition ot an
opinion often hitherto expressed by us in these
columns, in reference to a claim with which we
have long been familiar.
The remarks of Mr. SrsmsNS, vindicatory ot
the memory of the original claimant, George
Galphin, were justly due to tho tair lame ot
one who did good service to our country and
the causeof independence. The complimentary
notices of his descendants, and those claiming
under him, was a just tribute to citizens ot high
character and integrity. His defence of Mr.
Crawford, whose stainless honor needs no
champion here, where he is known, and uni
versally respected, was the generous tribute ot
disinterested friendship, for one who has been
unjustly denounced, and grossly misrepresented
to the American people—of one who is incapa
ble of any act having the slightest approach
to dishonesty, and whose upright soul would
scorn to soil his hands with money unfairly
obtained.
Some of our Exchange papers, due by last

Winter Iron Works.
We copy’ from the Montgomery Times, a no
tice of this extensive Southern enterprise, which, j
we are gratified to learn, is doing a profitable I
business. We learn tbat it is the intention of j
the proprietors of this establishment to send ,
to the next Fair, to be held in this city, one of I
their fine finished Engines.
|From the Montgomery Weekly Times.]
Manvfactvrrs —We have concluded, hoping
thereby to infuse into public sentiment a spirit
of emulation, to give a series of short chapters. ;
upon the meetotfooZ and Hunw/arfun'ng interests
of Alabama. And believing as we do, that the 1
“Winter Iron Works,” is the most extensive as
well as profitable, we shall lead oIT with some
facts connected with its success, internal man-,
magemeut, capital, profits. &e. IS e believe that j
the" Winter Iron Works’’ is the most splendid
ot mechanical establishments in this, or almost
any other cou .try—whether we regard the style .
of workmanship, the system and order prevail- i
ing throughout its entire operation, the charac- I
ter ofthe o.neratives. the quantity of work which '
is daily executed, the remune.ation to the pro
prietors, overseers and hands, or the novel meth- j
od ot scecriiig the zealous services of the most j
efficient taleui in the management of each dis- ,
fcrent d*peit:oent The stain o! workmanship j
is acknowl .!•'•:.1 to be of th* trout* superior cher- I
acter havin’ltivented, drafted and improved in |
many resiw ts upon the old; while good order :
is so preserved as to impress every visitvr. I
The quantity of wots done in the establish- t
meat averages from 7 to 3 hundred dollar.-, jier -
day The proprietors receive a handsome return
for their labor and capital; the dilferent foremen
uome four in number) by salary and contingent
profits, make near three thousand dollars each; I
the ioorneymeu are pa.d from 2 to 3 dollars, each |
per day, wulle the apprentice* (who are numer-
Su«, many ol them sons of Wealthy planters) .
received two to three hundred dollars a year,
each. Tne proprietors give the several foremen j
as this establishmcnt.indei>endent of a nxed sala- ;
ry ♦ certain share of the nett profits. Ibis certain .
and contingent ‘alary system ol pay, was adopt
ed the first of January, 1352, and continued up
to January. 1853, when the entire stock was in- •
voiced Ac, when all parties were so well satis- |
fied with its practical well working as to adopt 1
the experiment as a permanent arrangement.
Although but four or live years have elapsed
since ths? corner stone of the “Winter Iron
Works’’ was laid, such is the tame of it abroad I
that large orders for Steam Engines and Saw
Mills have been filled within the past year, lor
citizens, ol South Carolina, Georgia, Florida ; al
so. Iron Water Wheels for all ths aforemention- |
ed States, as well as Tennesee, Mississippi and |
Ixiuisiana. In the steam Saw .Mill line, toe
most competent judges have said, it had no rival
in the United States. This branch of the bust- ,
jiess has received the especial attention ol the
cjeslior proprietor. The Junior V» inter, J. S-, is ,
the fo3 nci pal manager ol the establishment, and ■
al’bourpF his knowledge of the business dates with :
the beeinnta’g of the ‘'Winter Iron Works,’’ in
his knowledge pf Mechanics and Water Power,
he has no superior. '
Some idea may be formed of tue quantity of
work turned off in 1832, when we mention tne j
lact that forty-four Steam Engines were begun j
and perfected during that time—and the most
ot them sold to men who had gone North to ,
make a purchase, but who preferred Alabama
work both as to price, finish and durability. Al- ■
though the" Winter Iron Works” givesempioy
rfie nt to over a hundred hands, the most ot the
work is done by Planers and Lathes driven by j
steam 2nd competent to work up iron of ail ,
size, even planing a piece of 30 feet in length, I
and turning a pulley fourteen feet in diameter. ,
Tools building and lot of this establishment
were appraised last year by disinfested parties, ,
at one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, in- ;
eluding the “ Flouring Mills,” but excluding ■
grain and all work. The profit of 1802 is said
to have reached sixty thousand dollars, which
was divided between proprietors and overseers. .

there are ground 13.009 barrels of flour and 85,-

Ths Galphin Claim.
t ~ -ch of Mr. Stephens of Georgia,
ary 13,1853. , «
Now, sir, I intend to say something On this
Gal ph i n claim. Gentlemen may, if they choose,
continue to cry out Galphin fraud ; but they shall
not do it without the exposure which is due to
trutfi, as well as right and justice.
Mr. Speaker, I arn here to-day to defend that
claim against any who may be bold enough
to assail It. I bold rrjj>.4f ready to say and
maintain that there was no fraud in tne Galphin
claim. 1 saw this claim alluded so in a paper
the other day as “ the Galphin swindle. ’ Now,
Mr Speaker, I ask this House to hear, not as
Muttaaos, what I have to assert In vindication of
Jbe truth in this matter. I feel it my duty to do
it irf vindication of people whom I know de
•cendtnttof Galphin, and men who under him
have received their just rights—rights which
were long delayed at the door of public justice
Some of these gentlemen res,de in the .State of
Georgia and some reside in the State of South
Carolina—as high minded, iwnorabls, and chiv-4
alro»s men as ever trod the face of the earth ;
men who would ecorn to take a dollar iforn jv
Government that was not justly due. Some of
these parties 1 know—and I will vindicate them,
and I will vindicate the truth oi tfaa history,
whenever they or their conduct in this mit ter
are assailed or maliguvd- There was, air, no <
' fraud in the Galphin claim. In the maintenance
>f ot what I say, 1 shall assert facts and nothinj
but facts, which are uncmitroverted in the pnsl
’ anil incontrovertabie for all time to come. And
s | when I am done 1 want to see the man rise up
’f here in the face of these facts and say that there
~ was fraud in the payment of that just debt.
’ ! These are the facts : In 1773, the Cherokee
’ • Indians and the Creek Indians in the State of
l! i Georgia, were indebted to certain traders to a
,1 . considerable amount ot money. 1 key had
i . nothing to pay it with. This was while Geor
' j gia was a British colony. Those Indians agreed
’ i to cede to the crown of Great Britain a certain
? j amount of land—two millions and a halt ofaeres,
- i or thereabouts —in consideration of which Great
, ' Britain was to take the lands and discharge their
debts to these traders. The treaty was made in
’ i 1773. On the 2d ot May, 1775, a certificate
’ i was madeout by commissioners appointed ac
cording to the treaty, to George Galphin for
T 9.791 15s. •'></.. The war of the Revolution
broke out in 1776. The land was not sold by
Great Britain, norths debt or any part of it paid;
I and in 1777, Georgia took possession of the lands.
I She give them as bounty to the soldiers who
' would go and occupy them. She used them in
I our national defence in the war of the Revolu
■ i tion ; and George Galphin, in that day,did your
- country and the infant colony of Georgia most
I essential service in preventing the Italians from
! making inroads upon the defenceless inhabitants
ot that unprotected frontier.
. I speak from history and the records of the
country—Galphin was true to the cause of his
i coimtrv and her struggle lor independence. And
I state here, that the only section of our State
I which was not at some period of the war taken
, by the British, was where settlements were
| made on those lauds, in the county of Wilkes.
. There the British flag has never waved since the
. declaration oi independence. Nay, more: a fort
I erected by these settlers, bearing the name of
( Waahington, on the site of the present town of
I Washington—the name continued from that day
| to this—was the first place, as 1 believe, on this
, whole continent, named in honorof the Father
■of his country. This. I say. I believe. Ido not
- state this as a historic tact ; for there may have
I been some place so called at an earlier date; 1
I think not, however ; and until the contrary be
shown, I shall claim the honor fin my State, and
I the people of the county of my birth.
I But t» proceed w ith my narrative. The State
| of Georgia, in 1739, passed an act binding and
' obligating herself to pay to any of those Indian
- claimants who were true to the country, the
' whole amount awarded to them by the com
j missiouers under the treaty, and for which the
• j lands were bound in equity and good faith, with
| interest at six per cent. George Galphin was
I one of them. By her act she assumed this debt
. of Galphin for X 9,791 15s. 5d., with interest at
six per ceut. per annum. Did not this soleinn
J act create a just debt ? But Gaiphfh died in
11780, very soon after the act passed.
Sir George Walton, a sifcner of ri.„ n.-cimaiton
IIr”’)"* ’ ' ' ro ‘“ ‘tie'Srate ot Georgia, tes- ■
“triied himself, in 1800, that he knew George i
Galphin. that “he enjoyed his friendship in his ;
lifetime.” that he was a patriot, and had ten- I
d-ted essential services to the country. Mr.
Walton further stated tha? he was on the com- I
mittee of the Georgia Legislature that trained |
the law of 17S0, providing for the payment of 1
these claims ; that he svas chairman of that com-
I mittee, that he drew the act, and well recollect- '
ed “ irs mefires. its sincerity, anel its intention of \
justice,-' and that, was an honest debt, due to that I
" venerable man." D : d George Walton want
' to -sieiiulte" anybody? Did George Walton plot I
j fraud against your Treasury I— George Walton
I the mail who risked his life for the liberties you
: enjoy ? Was he sneaking about to get his arm I
into the Treasury ! Sir, he was made of sterner
I stuff, and you may howl against the Galphins
; as long as you please, but while I stand upon the
testimony of the man who stood by this country
■ in its darkest hour, I shall feel no dishonor in '
defending the rights ofthat man whose friend- I
! ship he enjoyed while living.
> I say there never was a juster claim against >
• the State of Georgia than this. She pledged to ;
■ him the amount ot his debt, which was 419,71'1 ’
i 15s sd. in sterling money, and six per cent, in- I
: terest. Well, the old man died a month or two |
! after—the venerable old man, as the patriot Wal
ton called him. I saw some time ago, a toast
l given at a dinner, with this idea—that the histo- •
; ry of this Administration would be written in 1
the blood of the Galphins. And who, sir, was j
I Galphin ? He was one of the most distinguished 1
men living on the frontiers of your country, a !
i man who stood by the patriots who won your !
! liberties and achieved the independence ot your I
I country. 1 state further that his daughter was :
married to John Milledge, ot Georgia, a man
I whose name the capital of our State still bears
: in the city of Milledgeville, and we do not feel
I dishonored by this perpetuation of the name of a
; man who was thus connected and allied with
; George Galphin ! And whoever wants the his- l
; tory of this Administration written in the blood |
I cfsome of the purest and noblest men who per
iled there all for the rights and liberties ot their
' country.
Now, sir, this claim was presented to the Leg-
I islature of the State of Georgia in 1793 by his
I son. The committee to whom it was referred,
reported in favor of it. And it was presented to
■ several Legislatures after that up to 1826 ; but it
; was not paid, though almost eveiy committee
' to whom it was referred reported in favor of it,
as a Just debt against Georgia. Did you ask why
. it was not paid 1 I will tell you, in rny opinion,
j simply because they dl l not have the money.
. For the same reason I fear that most of our
i States will fail to pay their debts when theques
| tion shall be between refusal and very high tax
| ation. I
: Well, why was it presented here ? I will tell
you. In 1790, the General Government passed
! what is known as the assumption act. That is,
, the General Government into a general i.
, account uie contnuutioiv> oi each State, either to .
i the general defence, or the particular defence of :
j the common country, during the common strug- j
I g'e of the war of our national independence. At
i this time Galphin was dead,and Georgia had not
i paid this 419,791 15s. 3d. She had pledged her- j
I self to pay for the lands she had taken possession
I of and disposed of, but she had not paid the debt,
■ and did not bring it into account on the settle- i
! rnent under tire assumption act ot 1790. The
' settlement under the assumption act was thought
■ for a long time in Georgia to be a final settle- ;
I ment. and that she could not go behind it. Well,
in 1832, the State of Virginia came before Con
i grese, ind presented claims to a large amount
> under these circumstances:—She stated that just
■ before the war closed, she had by law promised
to all officers of a certain grade and class certain
i annuities for life, If they would enlist in the ser
! vice of the United States during the war. These
I men had never been called into service before >
i the termination of the revolutionary war. But
i they had enlisted, and claimed their pay accord
i ir.gto contract. Virginia resisted, and finally
I the courts compelled her to pay those claims, and
i the State then came and asked Congress to re
j open the assumption act of 1750, or at least to
' pay these claims upon the principless ofthat act; |
; because she said that her liability to officers was
of the same nature as the advances for the par
ticular defence that she had made, and which i
! had been brought into the assumption act of 1
1790. Congress, in 1832, assumed the liability
i and paid it, and in doing that, Congress did
right; because Virginia, in 1790, did not know j
• that she was liable, or would be liable for those
claims. You paid under that act nearly a mil- I
! lion of dollars, perhaps more.
1 Now, then, the representatives of Galphin I
: came and asked the General Government to pay j
them £9.791 15s. 5d., with interest at six peri
i cent.; which was the liability or debt of Geor- ’
1 gia, incurred for the particular defence of that
part of the common country not included in the
’ act off 790, just as they did the Virginia claims, i
’ and identically upon the same principles of equi- ;
' ty and justice and right. In 1836, the Senate
: passed a resolution requesting the President of
I the United States (General Jackson) towrite to
the Governor of Georgia, to get ail the informa
’ tion in his possession upon thefsubject. In Jan
: uary, 1837, General Jackson so wrote ; and Gov- j
ernor Schley, of Georgia—a political friend of
i General Jackson—answered the inquiries soon '
. after, and amongst other things said, “ that there
■ is justly due to the heirs of George Galphin the su m
: of nine thousand seven hundred and ninety-one
: pounds fifteen shillings and five pence sterling mon- \
i ey of Great Britain,''' Sfc., fyc.; ‘"and the only yues
‘ tion now is, whether Georgia or the United States '
: ought to pay the money The claim, like many
I others, remained for several years; but in August,
. 1848, Congress passed a law requiring the Sec
.Lfetary of the Treasury “to examine and adjust” ,
Mnrtwv fasn.atiio:int which may be found I
[ due to Millerfge OatjttrrKi-Sitsnrutor ol George Gal
phin, out of any money in the TreasuFy-m,e oth
: erwise appropriated and in pursuance of tbat
j law the principal and interest ofthat. debt was
paid. That, sir, is Galphiniarn ! —its height, its
length, its breadth and depth. There it stands
:in all its naked deformity. Look upon it,exam-
I ine it, scrutinize, and tell me where is the “ sis in- I
die," and who have been the “swindlers.'' 1 When
the case was last presented to Congress, whose
hands was it put into ' Into the hands of George
McDuffie, of South Carolina. Who presented
it ' George McDuffie 1 Did he want to com-
I mit a fraud against your Treasury ? Was he a
' swindler ? It went before a committee, and who
constituted that committee ' Messrs. Ashley,
Breese, Berrien, Wescott, and Webster. They
made a report to the Senate, and spread it before
the country in 1847. The bill passed the Sen
ate. There was no formidable opposition, because
j the grounds upon which it was presented and
sustained were too clear, as 1 believe, to be
avoided. Here was the act of Georgia obliging
her to pay that debt—as solemn a debt as ever
was contracted. It was for particular defences,
and was put upon precisely the same grounds of
assumption as the Virginia claims, and no one
could escape the force of the reasons.
lu 1848 it was before the same committee in
■ (} i9 Senate. That committee was composed ot
I the same geni.'? tnen w *‘° constituted the former
I committee, with one or two exceptions—a com
■ mittee of able and practical men. They re-
I ported again in favor of it. Were Hwy the “Gal-
I phins” who perpetrated this monstrous fraud?
! The distinguished Senator from Michigan, (Gen
eral Cass,) when Secretary of War, said that
there was no doubt but that the claim was just,
and the only quest ion was, which should pay it,
Georgia or the United States. Was he one of
the swindlers?
Early in 1848, the bill came into this House,
and was laid upon your table. The report was
printed, and the case referred to a committed of
this House. 1 have before tne the name of that
committee, and they are all honorable men, and
unimpeachable. One of the gentlemen upon
committee (Mr. Pettit) is nominated by his
T party, I see, to be a Senator intn the State of
jridiana. Was he a swindler ' Did he think it
was a great t.giid t Vs as he trying to cheat the
public? Is be one oi tkqcf! with whose blood it
| is the desire of some to write the hielory of this
' Administration f Do you want to write the
! history of this Admiuittration in the blood of
•e | General Cass, of Mr. Forsyth, ot Gqverno
g ! Schley, the blood of the Judiciary Committee ii
st , the Senate, and in the blood of the distinguishe<
d 1 individual of whom I have just alluded ? An
p I all these men Galphins? I believe the gentlei
e man from Ohio said that they, the “Galphins,'
were buried so deep that the hand of resurrec
e tion would never raise them up. But the De
ff mocraev in Indiana, it seems, has imparted new
a life to one of them—lias “ galvanized ,, him, a'
d least, by sending him to the Senate.
I heard a gentleman inquire how this Galphir
d claim passed through this House. J say it pass
n ed this House by the unanimous vote of every
s, | man in it, when any one man’s voice could
t | have prevented it. It stood upon its own mer
r ; its. No speech was made in its behalf. It bad
n ; no advocate but the plain, short, strong argil
e | ment of the committee. Their printed report
- j lay upon your desk for six months. It was ta
i' I ken up and acted upon at a time when no bill
a i could pass, that did not receive the unanimous
,• I support of every man in the House. Your
; | Journal shows this fact. It passed in August,
. | ISIS. Were all ill this House then Galphins ?
> | It was passed, and carried to Mr. Polk tor his
r signature. Did not he understand all about
Galphin ? Was not Mr. Forsyth a feed attor
r ney, and did be not prosecute it while Secretary
ol State under Jackson ? Did not Mr. Wise re
i port then, that this Galphin claim was about
s 8150.000? Was not Mr. Polk, as Speaker, of
this House at that time, conversant with all these
? facts ? It is to be presumed that he was. At
s any event, he signed the bill two days atter it
I passed. Is he, too, one of this famous family of
■ the Galphins ? Mr. Walker, his Secretary of
i thetTreasury, paid the principal, but did not pay
> the interest, because as he stated in his testi
mony, he did not have time to investigate that
• point. But he said—and mark it—that what
t ever Galphin’s debt was, this Government, by
f, the act of 1348, had assumed it fully. The act
j of Georgia of 17S0, pledging to Galphin £9,791
] 15s. 5d., with interest at six per cent, per an
i j num, was not before him. But who can say,
■ ' with that act before him, lie would not have
I paid the interest according to his testimony?
• For he said, whatever the debt was which was
1 due to Galphin, the act ot 1318 had assumed.—
■ j And who can say that £9,791 15s. 5d., with six
i per cent, interest, was riot due to Galphin by the
I act of Georgia of 1780? If any man is bold
■ i enough to do so, let him do it. Aly time will
I t not permit me to discuss this subject at any
! greater length, and I trust the House will pardon
■ : this digression.
I What I have said, I have stated for the House
‘ and country. The facts, as I have stated, are
| uncontroverted in the past, and will remain in
coutrovertable tor all time to come, and I defy
I their controversion here or anywhere.
I am here to resist all party clamor that may
be brought against this ilaim. I suppose
many ot these axptessinn*- *!■<•>■ Gglptuns,
I bv narb- cnniuate from partisan feelings,
aiid without any distinct, or definite idea of what
| are meant by them. But I say that the charac
; ter of every man should be defended by those
| who love truth and justice. The character of
I the humblest, alive with the character of the
■ highest, shall, at all times, receive defence
j from me, when 1 can defend it. I care not if the
; name of wrongful accusers is legion, I will face
I them all, if necessary.
I do not care to join with the shouting multi
tude barely because they are strong in numbers,
j Ido not fancy the taste of those who play upon
I expressions, because they catch the popular cant
! or whim of the day. It is an easy matter to pan
i der to the passions or prejudices of the uninformed
Sir, this is the “ facilis desivnsus fiverni,'' the j
downward road of the demagogue. It is easy :
to travel it, and, to some, it seems to be a plea- ;
: sant jaunt; but to vindicate the truth, to stand
■ up for the right against the majority, “ Hie labor, '
hoc opus est.” I shall do it, or attempt to do it.
sir, though I be a minority ot one.
1 have nothing to say, at this time, about the
; connection of the then Secretary of War withit. •
; Mr. Crawford was interested in the claim, and i
i was Secretary of War when the interest was
paid—that is all. I will, however, ask, when
: the offer was made to have the justice and legal
' ity of the allowance referred to the Supreme
i Court of the United States, who prevented it?
1 The Senate Journal will show.
Did they want to commit a fraud upon the
Treasury? Was Mr. Butler, of South Carolina,
’ Mr. Atchison, ol' Missouri, Mr. Turney, of Teu-
I nessee, and a number more whom I need not
; name, were they all Galphins? But lam done
with this, and also done with the matters allu
ded tojin the reports of the committee on the Gar-
I diner case.
The Stomach prepares the elements of the
, bile and the blood ; and if it does the work fee
bly and imperfectly, liver disease is the certain
result. As soon, therefore, as any affection of
the liver is perceived, we may be sure that the '
1 digestive organs are cut of order. The first
: thing to be done, is to administer a specific
which will act directly upon the stomach—the I
mainspring of the animal machinery. For this I
purpose we can recommend hoofland’s Ger- ;
man Bitters, prepared by Dr. C. M. Jackson, I
Philadelphia. Acting as an alterative and a ton
ic, it strengthens the digestion, changes the con
dition of the blood and thereby gives regularity :
i of the bowels.

OBITUARY.
Death of Mrs. Martha Martin Douglas.—
Yesterday s announcement of the decease of this
excellent lady, says the Washington Union, of th®
21st inst. the wife ofthc Hon. Stephen A. Douglas,
was too brief to express on our part, who were well
acquainted with her estimable character, our deep
i sense of the extent of the loss involved in that
mournful event. Seldom, indeed, has death invad- ,
ed the family circle with more heart-rending es- |
feet, or left a more desolate hearth, than in the in- i
stance hero record' d. And this community, in
which she has resided for some years, has cause for '
deep-r sorrow. Mrs. Douglas, the last surviving i
child of of the late Colonel Robert Martin, of Rock- '
ingham county, North Carolina, was married in |
April. 1847, and died at iherosidonoo of her hus- !
band, in this city, on the 19th inst., in the 24th
' ear of her ago. Largely endowed by nature, high
ly educated and acoiuplisbed, and possessing, in an
eminent degree, all the amiable and L.vely attri,
bates of her sox, she was greatly admired in society
arid beloved ajrl idolized at home. Os her it is no
exaggeration to say, that
“None knew her but to love her.
None named her but to praise."
' She has left to mourn her loss an aged and be- ■
r lived mother, a heart-stricken and disconsolate •
husband, and three infant children, whose tender .
years alone conceal from them the knowledge of
their irreparable loss.
After a short illness, on the 12th inst., at the res
| idenco of Daniel Parkman, Mrs. Narcissa Park
tan, wife of Richard G. Parkman.
In Athens, on the 24th inst., of Pneumonia,
Thomas B. Lamar, son of Mrs. B. B. Lamar, of
j Vinevillc, in the 20th year of his ago.
PRESENTMENTS
■ Os the First Pannel Grand Jury of Richmond Coun-
ty, January Term, 1853.
I We, the undersigned, Grand Jury. (Pannel No. 1)
chosen and sworn for the County of Richmond, at Jan
uary Terra, 1853, beg leave to make the following Pre
sentments :
The business of the Court having received our at
tention almost exclusively during the week, we have
; found it almost impossible to examine into our County
, matters as they should be done. We have, however,
I inspected our County Treasurer's account and vouch*
• ers, which we find all right, and neatly kept. We have
also inspected, by Committee, the Books of Record in
! the Superior, Inferior and Court of Ordinary, and find
( them in good order. By Committee, we have visited
. the Jail, and are happy to report its condition aud or
der as very superior—doing credit to its keeper. Wo
i had not time to visit the Poor House, but expect Pannel
No. 2 or 3 to do that duty, as well as several •thers, to
which it was impossible fur ns to attend. It is recom-
I mended that a tax of twenty, instead fifteen (15) per
i cent on the Digest, be levied for the Poor School of
this County. on subject of Poor House
and Paupers, we7 i« n of the Infe
rior Court to the many patqv-rs faadjiir.'
coming into this County from other counties and even
States. Our expenses this year, in tbat line, are about
fifty (50) per cent more than the last, and likely still
' to increase from the same source. We hold that every
county ou- ht to take care of its own poor, and not al
i low them to become a charge on their neighbors.
1 We understand tbat nearly all the Roads and Bridges
leading to this City, are much out of order, and require
I immediate attention. We would recommend that
i some of the worst places ! o planked instead of being
| filled up with eiath, which, at best, is only temporary
i and deceptive.
i From the many State cases brought to our attention
' this week, (most of which were broughtabout by drunk
, ennofls,) we would recommend that onr Senators and
j Representative in the next Legislature should endeavor
| to have a general law passed, that, at the annual elec
' tion, at which County officers are chosen, the electors
I endorse on their tickets " License, or no JAcenscf' and
i in such counties or Militia District , as shall poll a ma
; jority for no license, that there no license shall issue,
i an 1 no spirituous liquors be allowed to be retailed;
fixing proper penalties for its violation. Wo respect
fully call the attention of every Grand Jury In this
b’tate to this subject, am! ask for co-operation with us.
so that this desirable object shall be carried into effect.
As our brother Jurors for No.-'. 2 and 3 will probably
have less Court-business to consider than wo had, we
leave our other County matters in their hands.
T'/ his Honor Judge Starnes, we tender our sincere
regard for hL patience and ability in discharging his
official duties, as well us our best wishes for his health
and usefulne.i's.
Mr. Attorney Genera! Hhewniakc, will accept our
thanks for his courteous intorconrso with us, r and
prompt attention to official duties.

' CHARLESTON, Jan. 28.— Cottan.— There wag
! quite an active demand for most qualities of Cotton
throughout the week ending on tho 20th inst., at
gradually advanced rates, and when we closed our
inquires preparatory to our report of the 21st inst.,
an improvement of } a £c. was established in prices.
Middling Fair quality nt tho time was valued nt
10,; a 10£c. There wore but few buyers in nttond
nnce in the early part of tho wook under review—
the sales during the tint two days having boon lim
ited to some 2600 bales, but so far ns prices are
j concerned, tho transactions were well up to the
rates previously realized by buyers. On Mon
’ day tho demand materially improved, and
I during the day upwards of 2700 bales were sold
ut a rango of figures higher than had been obtain
ed since the roeonl upward move in prices. Tho
transactions full off materially on Tuesday, but
former prices wore fully sustained. Tho market,
however,nt tho d c!ose of business seems to have reach
led its oulmiunl ing point. Although the tales upto
I this period hud been to a fair extent, tho receipts,
[ which wore heavy, had materially increased the
I supply on solo. This fact, taken in connection
with a reported decline in the Now Ivrk market,
i exorcised a depressing influence on our market,
; and the sales of Wednesday were confined to
: some 800 bales. Yesterday operations were
.. nearly suspended, as only 366 bales wore sold
at prices indicating a decided downward tendency.
There was, however, too little doing to establish’a
market; and under existing circumstances, wc
find it impossible to arrange a list of quotations,
and must refer to our present rates as heir." alto
gether nominal. The receipts of tho week com
prise 16,451 bales, and the sales in tho same time
toot up 7900 bales, at the fellowing prices, viz: 26
bales at 8; 27 at 8J: 87 at 8g; 385 at 8j; 39 atߣ:
. 265 at 9: 20 at 9J, 147 at 9!; 54 at 9 5-16; 173 at 9S;

10g; 2588 atlOj: 205 at 10|; and 107 bales at 10’e.
1 A fair amount of business has been transacted in
Long Cotton, owing to tho greater readiness of
factors to dispose of tho middling and lower qual
r ities at rather easier prices than previously current.
, We have no change to note in the bettor qualities,
for which the demand continues steady. The sales
of tho week amount to 500 a 600 bales at 30 a 36c.
for common to clean Floridas ; 32 a 38, and 40e.
common to prime Santees and Mains; 42 a 48c.
for middling to middling fine Sea Island, and 50 a
■ 65c. and upwards for fine to very (inc and extra.
RICE. —-Most qualities of this article have been
in goad request, and the receipts, which comprise
4738 tierces, hare boon sold. The sales in tho
forepart of the week were made at old prices : as
, it progressed, however, the market acquired in
creased firmness, and closed with prices for the or
dinary to fair qualities, about {■ •- uigher. The
; transactions wero at prices ranging from 3 a-*j, as
• in quality, but by far tho larger portion was sold
within tlio range of 3J a s3j.
NEW-ORLEANS, Jan. 22.— Cotton.— Arrived
i since the 18th instant, 23,441 bales. Total receipts
es the week 53,611 bales. Cleared since the 18th
instant, 22,418 bales. Total exports es the week.
42,716 bales. Stock in presses, and on shipboard
■ not cleared, on the 21st instant, 312,196 bales.
Our last weekly report closed upon a rather in
active market, tho very full prices claimed by
holders, in connection with advanced freights aud
declining exchanges, having checked the opera
tions of purchasers. Besides these there had been
several successive failures of the mail, and parties
ware without their foreign correspondence by the
America, the Baltic and tho Humboldt. On Wed
nesday the Baltic’s letters came to hand, while the
America’s, though duo first, are still behind. The
Baltic’s letters, however, had little or no influence
here, and our market for some days past has con
tinued to weal a dull appearance, "holders at tho
same time maintaining quite a firm position, while
the majority of buyers seemed disposed to await
the later European advices by the Niagara, now
; hourly looked for by telegraph. Under these cir
eumstnw” th* businouc nftb« pa«st, v tlax--
• neon confined to about If.oOU bales, viz: 4800 on
Wednesday, 4200 on Thursday, and 8500 yestor
■j day. and among these transactions wo notice re
snlcs of several lists, which would indicate that a
portion at least of the business done lately was on
speculation. In respect to prices wo have again to
remark that a good deal of irregularity prevails
though generally speaking holders maintain quite a
firm attitude, especially for the better grades,
which it is difficult to find in even-running lists.
The lower qualities, however, which constitute the
great bulk of the supply on sale, and which have
been comparatively neglected for some days past,
are slightly easier, according to tho indications pre
sented in tho business of yesterday, but tho de
cline is not sufficiently marked to require a reduc
tion of our quotations, and wo retain tho same
figures given m our report of Wednesday last. The
business of the entire week sums up 42,700 bales,
taken for Great Britain, Franco, Spain, the Con
tinent and tho North

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 7.—The sales of Cotton
for tho week reach 34,900 bales, including 3070 on
speculation and for export. Spinners have cense
quontly taken about 31,830 bales. Prices remain
unchanged since Friday last.
The Niagara, with advices to tho 22d from Bos
ton, brought telegraphic news from Halifax, quo
ting middling 9c. to Ofc. at New Orleans. Although
tho report |was little credited, it produced more
firmness among holders, and kept tho market
steadier than it had been during the two previous
days. On Wednesday wo received tho Arctic’s
new. , with dates to tho 24 th ult. from New York,
and -reports of the 83d from New Or-
leans, quoting middling at a B’c. with freights
declining, free receipts, and estimates above three
millions. Holders at once brought more Cetton
on the market, accepted rather low prices, and the
little firmness prevailing at the beginning of the
week disappeared. The trade have bought more
freely this wook, but still below their actual wants ;
and it is not expected, notwithstanding the good
business they arc doing, they will operate to a
larger extent until receipts begin to fall off, and
prices advance in tho American ports.
To-day the sales arc estimated at 4000 bales.
Tho market is sluggish and rather worse than yester
day ; this is partly caused by the Bank of England
raising their rate of discount J pot cent, 'j hough
this present rate of per cent is moderate, still
people look with suspicion on tho movements of the
Bank and generally overrate tho ultimate effect
it can or will produce on Produce. The weather
has also boon gloomy, and scarcely a day passes
without rain.
I’lie Manchester market has boon steady through
out tho week, with a pretty good demand for the
East Indios, a buyors in general expectation of low

diate want 4 , but on tho other hand spinners, hold

Washington -Affairs. — The committee on com

in a few days to establish reciprocity with Cana
da and the Provinces.
A bill regulating U. S. Courts, which McLan
ahan asked leave to report to-day, it is said orig
-1 inated with Edward Dickerson, a clerk in the
District Court of New Jersey, and was designed
i to aid the holders of Goodyear’s India Rubber
; patents in their case against Horace Day. It is
understood that the bill prohibits U. S. Courts
from granting perpetual injunctions in patent
1 cases, without previous establishment of the val
; idityofthe patent by the verdict ofa jury. The
effort to introduce the bill signally failed.
The testimony' produced before the Houston
committee tailed to sustain the charges against
the late superintendent of the Capitol extension,
of receiving money dishonorably, &c. AU fore
men employed upon the work, testified to the
contrary. Parties who preferred the charges on
oath are to be indicted for perjury. Other charges
against him were also disproved. The commit
tee are also to examine charges that the building
has not been substantially erected.

Every Family should at onco procure a
bottle of the great Arabian Remedy for inun and
beast, called H. G. FARRELL’S ARABIAN LIN
IMENT. It allays tho most intense pains in a
few minutes, restores the synovial fluid or joint
water, and thus cures stiff joints; it penetrates tho
| flesh to tho bone, relaxes contracted cords, cures
I rheumatism and palsied limbs of twenty years’
1 standing; also tumors, swelled neck, enlargement
of tho glands, and is tho best medicine for ailments
of cattle over discovered, curing sweeny, splint,
and all diseases which require an external applica
tion.
Sun Pain of 10 years' standing cured by H. G.
Farrell's Arabian Liniment.
Mr. 11. G. Farrell, — Dear Sir: I had been af
flicted with tho “ Sun Pain” for tho last ten years,
and could never get relief by bleeding; but by the
uso of H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment, applied
over tho temples but three or lour times a day, it
was entirely removed, and I have felt nothing of it
since. 1 went into tho stable one night, to apply it
to a horse’s sore leg, and being very lame he stum
bled and 101 l against my legs, crushing and bruia
ing them »o badly tbat they tut nod black an my
hat. rendering them powerless. I applied your
Liniment, and was well enough in a few days to go
about again as usual. I also crushed my finger in
a shocking manner, by letting a back leg fall upon
it; your Liniment soon healed it up, through

[fiso. Barker, of New Canton, 111., says.]
Mr. 11. G. Farrell’s Arabian Liniment has cured
some bad cases hero, which every other remedy
had failed in ; one one was a white swelling and
contracted cords in the log of a boy twelve years
old Tho leg had been withered away, and was so
contracted' that ho had no use of it. Three doc
tors had tried their skill upon it in vain, and ho
was fast sinking to the grave, when tho boy s fath
er was induced to try H. G. Farrell’s Arabian Lin
iment. Before the first bottle was used up, ho
camo to Mr. B. s store, and tho first words bo said
wore, “Mr. Barker, I want all that Liniment you
have in tho store; tho one bottle I got did my
bov more good than all that had over been dens

has free uso of his logs It is good for sprains,

~ MEXICAN MUSTANG i.lN_i t sLr.”ih ‘
THIS invaluable preparation has been but a fuir
months before the people of the t outh yet raauy
thousands of bottles have been sold and u*ed in a
GREAT VARIETY OF DISEASES.
And it has given universal satisfaction. We hav<*
heard of none that were dissatisfied with it. Wo oiler
it as a remedy in the various diseases and complainU
for which it is recommended, with full confidence in
curing them, as over four millions of Bottles have
been sold and used for a great variety of complaints,
both of men and animals, and it has always given sat-,
isfaction. because it has performed just what we sa'd it
would. It has healed Cancers and scrofulous snrea
and ulcers that had resisted the treatment of the MeJi ■
cal Faculty.
A child in Frederickton. N. 8.. a few days ago,
burned its legs severely against a stove. The mother
immediately applied Linseed Oil and Cotton Wool, with
a tight bandage over all, in a short time tho i-crcama
of the child induced the mother to remove the bandajo,
when it was discovered that the cotton wool haiftaken
fire by spontaneous combustion and had considWably
increased the size of the burn. The mother happened
to think that she had part of a bottle of MuSTASU
Linimknt in her house, which she got immediately and
applied to the burned limbs of the little sufferer, t’nd aa
soon as it was applied, the child ceased its cries and <
soon after fell asleep in its mother's arms, by the .sooth
ing influence of this valuable preparation.'
Every family should be supplied with this Liniment
in case of accident, as we know it to be a valuable ar
ticle.—Boston Ere. Chronicle.
THIS IS TO CERTIFY THAT THE MEXICAN
MUSTANG LINIMENT, has been used quite oxter, dvt
ly in the stables of ADAMS He CO.’S GREAT SCUTH
ERN, EASTERN and WESTERN EXPRESS, for CUR
ING Galds, Chafes, Scratches, Sprains and Brni>es, aud
it has proved very effectual. Many of tbeir men have
also used it on themselves and thoir families, and they
all speak of its healing and remedial qualities in the
highest terms. One of our ostlera got kicked, at.d
badly cut and bruised on his knee—as usual, the MUS
TANG LINIMENT was resorted to, and the sorem-s .
and lameness was soon removed, and it was perfectly
well in three or four days.—We have no hesitation in
recomending it as a valuable preparation, to be uiced
externally on man or beast.
J. DUNNING,
Foreman of Adams A Co.’s Express Stable. N. V.
We take pleasure in recommending the MEXICAN
MUSTANG LINIMENT to all our friends and custo
mers, as the best article we have ever used for Sores,
Bruises. Sprains, or Galds in Horses. We have used It
extensively and always effectually. Some of our men
have also used it for severe Bruisesand Sores, as well
as Rheumatic Pains, and they all say it act? like magic.
We can only say we have entirely abandoned the use of
any other Liniment. U J. M. HEWITT,

RHEUMATISM.
This Is to certify that my wife was afllictaff with
severe chronic Rheumatism; she had tfttffbrtvi for*’*
months the most excruciating pains; ghe had tried
Rheumatic Compounds, Reliefs and almost every
recommended for this dreadful disease. None of them
relieved her pains in the least. She used one fifty cent
bottle of MUSTANG LINIMENT, and it cured hor en
tirely, she is now perfectly well, and recommends all
of her friends to use the Mustang Liniment.
