STATE TREASURER’S OFFICE. In looking over the payments under head of Civil Establishment in the Comptroller’s Report, I find that in 1871, N. L. Angier, Treasurer, drew Lis annual ea'ary, $2-000 00 Alton Angier, Clerk, drew his annual salary, 1,600 00 $3 600 On In addition, I find the following ex tras : 1871—January 24. Alton Angier, for inciden tal expenses in the revision of the laws of Georgia $500 00 December 16. N L. Angier, State Treasurer, for overpayment of interest into Treas ury, 7.415 26 7,915 26 Add N. L. and A. Angier’s salaries 3,600 00 $10.515 20 I know not under what law, or au thority, Mr. Alton Angier drew the above £700. But having noticed in Prof. Orr’s late communication to the public rel ative to the educational fund, that Treasurer Angier had been paid this $7,415 20 out of the education fund, I thought it rather strange, especially as he was not a school teacher. Hav ing inquired of an Atlanta man about the matter, I learned the following to be substantially the facts : In 1S6S or 1S69, Dr. Angier, the State Treasurer, having alaige amount of public funds, including the educa tional fund in the Treasury and in the banks, and wishing to make something out of the same for himself, loaned it out to one or more of the banks in Atlanta, at a certain rate of interest, which he applied to his own use, col lecting small amounts at a time. This was in direct conflict with the SGtli section of the Code, which reads as follows : “Sec. 86, paragraph 8. He (the State Treasurer) shall not, under any circumstances, use himself, or allow others to use the funds of the State in bis hands; and for every violation of this section he is liable to the State for the sum of five hundred dollars, as a penalty, or forfeiture of salary, if said forfeiture will pay the penalty incur red.” In the meantime, Bullock and Treasurer Angier having become per- sonal enemies, and having commenced a personal warfare upon each other. Bullock found out that A. had viola ted this section of the Code about forty times, and he had a prosecution commenced against Angier in Fulton Superior Com t. to enforce the $20,000 penalty. Angier, to make the best tight he could, under the circum stances, after being prosecuted, paid into the State Treasury several hun dred dollars that he had received as ioterest on the educational, or public funds; and paid himself or directed the banks to pay all other interest accru ing on this fund in the State Treasury, as the State’s money, which it seems was done. Last December, however, the Dem ocrats in the Legislature being large- Cortley and claim said money as his own, when not one cent of it ever be longed to him, and contend that it was an overpayment “by him into the State Treasury,” and claim a refund of the same, I cannot imagine. But to show corporation or association. dentia! effects were conveying all the Now I take it for granted tha , , ,, the cottag ’, w ° h en tb(! with these provisions oi the constitu- 8tubborn J, ckM , . true t0 his Dature ,’ t.on staring them in the face, if he dden| J 0 „ ed and itive | y refused members of the Legislature had he fllrth „ +,, e vi n/„ b ov» remotest idea of letting Treasurer An gier have this money upon the pre text of “extra services,” they would have appropriated it by law. Or, if they intended to give it to him, they wtnild have appropriated the money in j it and passed this resolution (if it orig- I inuted in the House) by a two-thirds | vote. ! The Legislature not having done any of these things, the “drawing of the warrant by Conley” on the Treas ury, for the amount of $7,416 20 in favor of Angier, “the approving the same by the Comptroller General, Bell,” and the “paying” ol the same by Treasurer Angier was such a bold, open assault upon right, justice, and did not think for a moment that in voting for such a resolution, besides relieving Treasurer Angier of the $20,- 000 “penalty” incurred, they gave or intended to give him this $7,4A5 20, I here present a resolution of both blanches of the Legislature, approved on the 20th January, 1872, which I find on page 328, Acts 1871 and 1872 : “Resolved by the Senate and House oj Representatives, That the Joint Finance Committee enquire by what authority Benjamin Conley, the acting Govern or, drew his warrant on the Treasu rer in favor of N. L. Angier, for the sum of $7,415 26, “over-payment of interest,” and if said sum was justly due said Angier; and that they report to this General Assembly at as early a day as is practicable. Said investiga tion to be made after the re-assembling of this General Assembly in July next, and the report to be made at said ses sion.” But to show still further that the Legislature merely intended to relieve Treasurer Angier of the $20,000 “pen alty,” about to be placed upon him, and (hat they did not intend either to vote it to him for “extra services,” or give it to him, I will say, that, al though neither Ben Conley, Madison Bell, nor N L Angier seemed to know, or care but little, if they did know, as to the requirements of our State Con stitution, the presumption is that most, if not all, of the members of the Legislature, having also sworn to support the constitution, knew some thing about its requiremei ts. Article 3, section 3, paragraph 6, of our State Constitution says : “ All bills (not resolutions) for raising reve nue or appropriating money shall orig inate in the House of Representatives, but the Senate may propose or concur in amendments, as in other bills.”— And section 6, paragraph 4 (same ar ticle) says : “No money shall be drawn from the Treasury except by law, &c.” And section 0 (same article) para graph 2, says : “No vote, resolution, law or order, shall pass granting a do nation or gratuity in favor of any per the presidential jackass son except by the concurrence ol two- . . ^ bimse , f be(ore he had thirds of each branch of the General ^ ? , ha|f an bour .

The President’* Arrivnl—Dog* and All. Long Branch, June 13.—The arri val of General Grant at his summer quarters was not celebrated this year by the slightest flourish. Ex- Collector Murphy, who was so con stant in his attention to the President last year, was here on Monday, but would Dot even afford the time to stay one day more for the sake of welcom ing his old chief. The President, with quite a numerous escort, arrived by rhe last express train from Philadel phia on Tuesday afternoon, and the only effect his advent produced was to excite tbe curiosity of the villagers while his horses and dogs were being removed from the depot to the cot tage beyond the West End. This was rather an interesting scene. First, the President and Family, accompa nied by THE dents and porters, rode up Ocean Avenue in carriages, and then followed a troop of horses, jackasses, dogs, and the wagon train carrying the servants and the luggage. The head steward of the White House had arrived the day before to put the cottage in order. Owing to Grant’s nomination for the Presidency he is enabled to keep a larger stud than last year. Then he brought only six horses; now he has eleven, and a jack ass besides. DEMOCRATIC MEETING- Irwintov, Ga., June loth, 1872.

The village boys were gathered round enjoying the sport, some of them doubling them selves with laughter and holding their bodies up by resting their hands on their knees, while they shouted : “Oh ! what a jackass.” At last, while half a dozen men were wrestling with the obstinate beast, one of the urchins more astute than the others, made a great discovery, and announced it by exclaiming: “Oh, it ain’t no jackass at all ; it’s a jenny !” This produced such yells of laughter as should have made even a jackass or “jtnny” blush. Until then the men having the beast in charge had not taken her sex in consideration, and they now re solved to treat her with more gentle ness. Accordingly a brawny Hiber nian went up to her and said : “ Well, if ye don’t choose to walk ye can just as well ride,” and suiting the action to the word he threw his arms around the “jenny” and lifted her bodily into the wagon, where she remained while the horses drew her up Ocean avenue, the people looking on admiringly as she passed. The jackass was then taken to General Porter’s house and turned out to grass. As many of the horses as could be accommodated at the President’s own stubles were cared for there, the rest being conveyed to the stable attached to the President’s Dew cottage on the opposite side of the avenue. The dogs soon became accustomed to their new houses, but the big Newfoundland, when he goes up to the cliff just above the Presi dent’s house and looks out upon the ocean, with its curling waves rat tling up the beach, takes his tail be tween his legs and runs for his kennel. lanta on the 26th instant, James G. Ock ington was called to tbe Chair, and G. M. Carleton appointed Secretary. On motion the Chair appointed a Committee of five consisting of F. Chambers, R. J. Coch ran. W. C. Adams, James Pittman and M E. Boatright, to prepare and report business for the action of the meeting. The committee made the following re port through their chairman. F. Chambers, which was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That in the approaching pol itical contest, wc hold the great end and paramount object to be the deliverance of the nation from the oppressions of the pres ent mercenary and despotic administration - That we regard the Democratic party as the means by and through which this great work of redemption is to be achieved. That, fully confiding in the wisdom and patrotism of the National Convention to assemule at Baltimore, we recognize in that body the rightful authority to pre scribe and direct the application of the means employed to the end to be accom plislied. Resolved, that we take this occasion to express our unqualified approbation of the official course of our present State Ex ecutive, James M. Smith, whose sterling integrity, Roman firmness, and rare ad ministrative ability so eminently qualify him for the high position to which he has been called by the voice of the people, and whose bold and successful vindica tion of civil authority against tbe lawless encroachments of military power has earn« ed for him the gratitude of all the lovers of civil libertv throughout the land. Resolved That the chairman of this meeting be authorized to appoint an ex ecutive committee for the county, to con sist of one from each militia district. Resolved, That J. G- Ockington, John T. Lingo, J. J. Fountain, T. J. Jordan’ A. J. Miller and G. E. Carleton be, and are heieby appointed as delegates to the State Convention. The Chair appointed as the executive committee E. J. Coates, A.

Taking Cold.—If a cold settles on the outer covering of the lungs it be comes pneumonia, iuflamatiou of the ungs, or lung fever, which in many cases carries the strongest man to his grave within a week. If cold falls upon the inner covering of the lungs it is ‘pleurisy,’ with its knife-like pains and its slow, very slow recoveries. If a cold settles in the joints, there is rheumatism with its agonies of pain, and rheumatism of the heart, which in an instant sometimes snaps the cords of life with no friendly warning. It is-ot the utmost practical importance, then, in the wintry weather, to know not so much how to cure a cold as to avoid it. Colds always come from some part of the whole of complisbed by due care in warm cloth ing and the avoidance of drafts and undue exposure. While multitudes ol colds come from cold feet, perhaps the too quickly after becoming a littl warmer than is natural from exercise or work, or from confinement to a warm apartment.— Wood's Household Magazine.

THE CUSTOM HOUSE BEPOBT. The most indecent document which even the present servile majority in tion and Retrenchment upon the af- taifs of the New Custom House. To c j^ y f rQm persons of high official posi say that it is grossly and shamelessly • ^ . London make a most extraor partisan is to state no more than what was to be expected. In the crisis of a doubtful canvass it - would be rather too much to expect fairness and hon esty from Senators devoted to General Grant. Yet every one surely expect ed a certain affectation of impartiality which might have saved a little digni ty while sacrificing honesty. But this report is naked and unabashed. It is as stupidly and openly one-sided as the New York Times. The person who wrote it could not have been more frankly false if he had been hired to defend Leet and Stocking in a Tombs court. It betrays in every line the hand of that attorney of the administration whose open advocacy of the rogues he was sent to try so often disgusted the spectators in the committee room. The report says that the people who objected to Leet and Stocking and their depredations were “enemies of the President and the Republican par ty.” It goes on in a strain of bar room facetiousness to refer to the wide notoriety of Leet and Stocking and their accomplices, and accepts their denials as outweighing all the charges of the citizens who testified against them. It insists that Leet owed all his success to his shining merits; that the President’s letter to Grinnell had nothing to do with it. New York objected to Leet and Stocking, and is therefore called “a great brawling city.” The committee fear that iu the existing state of things at Washington, any condemnation of present-taking may not be kindly re garded at the Executive Mansion, so they take the question boldly in front, and* approve the custom ! The lan guage of the committee is so incredi bly reckless that we give it as it comes to us: “ The testimony shows pretty clearly the practice would not be condemned by good morals, if it were not condemned by law; that that the money is paid nut to se- secure a violation of law, but as a compensation for services rendered in addition to the services required by law.” Of course the committee find no objection to the exaction of funds from Custom House employes for po litical purposes. It is even commend ed as on a level with the pious offer ings of church members for religious enterprises! This will not be believ ed unless we give the words of the report: “The committee can entertain no doubt that in the experience of politi cal parties, as in that of religious de nominations, money is sometimes re nominations, money mi.uei.mw.D- r ° hag d int0 disuse, quired.

It is that well-informed Englishman believe the American Government to have under taken secret negotiations with the ar bitrators, or with some of them at Ge neva. It is alleged that a large sum of money (,£50,000 sterling is named) was drawn from the Japanese indem nity fund, or from some other secret service resources, by the United States Foreign Office, and that this money was paid by a banking-house in London to one of the agents of the United States, who took it to Geneva and— did not bring it back again. “Since this story has reached us from England it may be interesting to observe that a similar story was cur rent in the highest diplomatic circles here more than a month ago. At a dinner given about that time by a public functionary something like a scene arose out of this story. A Sena tor, not very friendly to the Adminis tration, asked a foreign envoy there present whether he thought any of the arbitrators men to be bought. The foreign envoy replied with some warmth that the Senator had forgot ten to whom he was speaking, as one of those arbitrators was a countryman of the envoy himself. The story is not a pleasant one, but it is idle to ig nore it, as it is current in the most in fluential quarters, and as the letters alluded to positively attribute to it a most injurious effect upon the negotia tions for the explanation and protec tion of the treaty at London.” COBBUPT LEGISLATION. The New York Herald, strongly admin istration, thus positively comdemns the recent infamous legislation of Oongi ess with reference to the presidential election: “There are two points to be considered in connection with the action of tbe majori ty : First, if General Grant could not be re-elected without the aid of martial law and bayonets in a third of the States of the Union ha ought not to be elected at all; second, if be can be elected without such anti republican meaus, and if the law thus pressed by the majority is not needed, then their action in endeavoring to force it through Congress in an illegitimate man ner is seriouly damaging his prospects and a piece of inexcusable political folly.

To be Pitied.—The man who is ible to work and does not, is to be pitied as well as despised. He knows lothing of sweet sleep and pleasant dreams. He is a miserable drone and ?at8 a substance he does not earn.

Approved ber 8, 1S71.” The preamble and first resolution ot the above but recites a well known fact, when it says that “it has not been customary to require the Treas urer to pay into the Treasury interest on deposits of State funds,” and that “he shall, or ought not to be held lia ble for any such interest.” It has not been “customary” to charge the Estate Treasurer with interest on the deposit of public funds, simply because the above plain penal statutes prohibited said officer from loaning out, or using said funds in any other way, for his own private gain. Now, had Treasurer Angier retain ed the interest In his own hands and would not pay it over to the State, and the prosecution commenced by Bullock waR instituted to recover this money from him, there might have been some excuse, uuder this resolu tion, for his not paying into the State Treasury such interest on the deposits he at the time of the passage of this resolution had in his hands. But when the prosecution was not to recover any interest lrom Treasurer Angier, (for all of it had been paid into tne Treasury, after it accrued, except the first lew hundred dollars alluded to.) But the prosecution was merely insti tuted, as all know, to enforce the penalty of $20,000 incurred by him under the 86th section of the Code. And with out any appropriation whatever, undei this resolution, how could Treasurer Angier have had tbe “face” to go to Felon on the Finger.—Many per sons are liable to extreme suffering from felons on the finger. These afflic tions not unfrequently occasion perma nent crippling of the members affect ed. The following simple prescrip tion is recommended as a cure for the distressing ailment: take common rock salt, such as is used for salting down pork or beef, dry it in an oven, then pound it fine and mix it with spirits of turpentine in equal parts; put the muxtureon a rag and wrap it around the parts affected, and as it gets dry put on more; and in twenty- tour hours we are cured—the felon will be dead. It will do no harm to try it.— Journal oj Agriculture. Now and then one sees a face which u.a- has kept its smile pure and undefiled. Decern- It is a woman’s face usually ; often a face which has traces of sorrow all over it till the smile breaks. Such a smile transfigures; such a smile, if the artful did not know it, is the greatest weapon a face can have. Sickness and age cannot turn its edge; hospitality and distrust cannot withstand its spell; little children know it and smile back; even dumb animals come closer and look up for another. If we were asked to sum up in one simple rule what would most conduce to beauty in the human face, we would say, therefore : “ Never tamper with your smile; never once, use it for a purpose. Let it be on your face like the reflection of the Bunlight on the lake. Affectionate good-will to a ly men must be the sunlight, and your face is tbe lake. But unlike the sun light, your good-will must be perpetu al^ and your face must never be over- A smile can be indicated by a movement of muscles, so light that neither instruments nor terms exist to measure or state it; in fact, the sub tlest smile is little more than an added brightness to the eye and a tremulous ness to the mouth. One second of time is more than long enough for it; but pternity does not outlast it! In that wonderful wise and tender and poetic book, the “ Layman’s bre viary,” Leopold Scbefer says: “A smilo snffires to smile death away; And lore defends thee e’en lrom wrath divine. Then let what may befall thee-sttllsmile on ! And how’er Death may rob thee -•till smile on. Love never has to meet» bitter thing; A Paradise blooms around bus wbo smiles. Making People Happy.—A poeti cal writer has said that some men move through life as a band of music moves down the street, flinging out pleasure on every side through the air to every one, far and near, that can listen. Some men fill the air with their strength and sweetness, as the orchards in October days fill ihe air with ripe fruit. Some women cling tu their own houses like tbe honeysuckle over the door; yet, like it, fill all the region with the subtle fragrance of their goodness. How great a bounty and blessing is it to bold the royal gifts of the soul that they shall ge music to some, fragrance to others, and life to all! It would be no un worthy thing to live for, to make the power which we have within us the breath of other men’s joy ; to fill the atmosphere which they must stand in with a brightness which they can not create ior themselves. Tattling.—Never repeat a story unless you are certain it is correct, and not even then unless something is to be gained, either of interest to your self or for the good of the person con cerned. Tattling is a mean and wick ed practice, and he who indulges in it grows more fond of it in proportion as he is successful. Life, according to the Arabic pro verb, is composed of two parts: That which is past, a dream; and that which is to come, a wish. Lighting Staeles.—The proper lighting of stables is one of the most important points in rural architecture. Any animal going from such a dark den as many a stable is, feels almost blinded by the change, and suffers of ten intense pain because of it. Re peated sudden transitions from dark ness to light are very bad for the eyes, and animals are as readily injured thereby as ourselves. Imperfect sight in horses is frequently the cause ot an unpleasant habit of shyirg. Farmers Must Read and Study.— The noole Henry Clay gave these sen timents to the farmers of the World : “ No man can be thoroughly an intel- lisrent farmer who depends solely upon his own practice, and neglects to avail himself of the knowledge of others, communicated orally or by the press. It is my opinion that no farmer of ob servation and thought can read a good agricultural paper regularly without deriving from it more benefits than many times its cost, and wherever a family is growing up around him, it would be wisdom to subscribe for sev eral.” Iy Send 50 cts. and receive Federal Union for four months. the Preserving Green Corn.—Boil the corn (on the cob until it is thoroughly scalded,) then cut from the cobs, and dry on the earthen plates in the sun, or a moderately heated oven. If well dried and kept in a dry place, corn prepared in this way will keep any length of time, and boiled with beans in the winter makes a very palatable dish. Beans and peas may be preserv j ed in tbe same manoer. ground that some of the men thus expelled have since joined the liberal movement for reform ! We hope our friends who still fondly im agine that General Grant’s party is in favor of civil service reform will not omit to ponder this -passage. The ruffianism to which Mr. Jayne and his fiiends resorted to terrify timid im porters into the payment of black mail is thus referred to, in language which shows that the Senatorial wit is equal to the Senatorial morals : “If they do not always uncover their heads while investigating such alleged frauds, as it is complained some of the special agents of the Treasury do not, it is better, probably, to tolerate even that outrage upon good manners rath er than allow the frauds to go unpun ished.” If any self-respect remained in the body where Nye and Flanagan have taken the seats of Webster and Cal houn, the Senate would refuse to re ceive a report equally intolerable for its falsity aud puerile vulgarity. Hoiv to Grow Strawberries.—In spring I prepare the ground for a crop of early potatoes, manuring it so as to grow that old crop well. Work the potatoes well, keeping them clear of weeds. When the crop comes off I give a light coating ot manure, plow the ground deep, pick off weeds, etc., harrow and level it well. I then line out the rows three feet apart, go to the nursery bed with a flat box or bas ket, lift tne plauts with a ball of earth, and carry them to the ground prepar ed for planting. A boy goes before with a garden trowel, digs the holes about four inches deep, sixteen inches apart in the row, immediately before the planter; he fills each hole with water; the planter drops in the plant Bnd covers the root with dry earth, pressing lightly. By so doing, no matter how hot and dryj the weather may be, I never fail to have a full crop the next season ; and that is as much as you can have by spring planting. I prefer potatoes as a crop, as the ground is thereby well cleaned. I generally plant all through the month ot August, I set out ou an average, 3000 plants every season. It is very tedious, but it will pay. If I had not plants of my own, 1 would purchase a few hun dred in the spring, manure the ground and work them well, picking off the stems before they bloom. They will have made good plants by August.— Contributor to the Rural New Yorker. such & policy force an objectionable meas ure through the House «r Dlock the wheels of the government, and a majority in the Houbo could do the same in relation to to the Senate. The Ku-klur law, which has been fastened on to the sundry civil appropriation bill is entirely foreign to the subject of tbe original measure. The President of the Senate, on the occasion of the consideration of other bills, has rul ed that no foreign matter can be consider ed an amendment to the original question, nad has been sustained by a majority of the Senate. Both the presiding officer and the Senators now stultify themselves bv reserving their action in the instance of tbe K.u klux law. They do worse than that—they prove that to accomplish a political purpose they are ready to vio late their oaths, and do and act what they know to be in violation of the spirit of the constitution and the rules and practice of their own body.” Origin of Foolscap Paper.—The term foolscap, to designate a eeitain kind of paper, no doubt has puzzled many an inquirer The origin is not only ami sing but historical. Charles the I. of Eng land, granted numerous monopolies for the support of the Government. Among others was the manufacture of paper. The water-mark of the fiuest sort was the royal arms of England. The consump tion of this article was great, and large fortunes were made by those who had purchased the exclusive right to vend it. This, among other monopolies, was set iside by the Parliament that brought "Charles I. to the scaffold; and, by way of showing contempt for the Ring, they ordered the royal arms to be taken from the paper, and a fool, with his cap and bells, to be substituted. It is now over two hundred years since the fool’s cap was taken from the paper, but still the paper of the size of the Rump Parliament order ed for their Journals, bears the name of the water-mark placed there as an indig nity to Charles.

A Decision on thb Virginia Home stead.—A special telegram to the Lynchburg News states that the Su preme Court of Appeals ol Virginia, in session at Wytheville, on Thursday unanimously decided the homestead clause in the present Virginia consti tution, so far as the same relates to debts contracted prior to the adoption of said constitution, in violation of the Constitution of the United States, and therefore void. The opinion of the court was delivered by Judge Chris tian, all the Judges concurring. A desireto say^S 8 which no one ever said, makes some people say things which nobody ought to say.
