We are much dlaapponted that Chief
justice Chase consented to the bargain
| y whicii this ease has been postponed.
It was natural I hat the Attorney General
H , the times in which we live, should
jj t 0 avert a decisiou which he felt cou
vmced would he adveise to the govern
ment, aud which would be very damaging
the party t<> which he belongs. It was
n ot unnatural thr.t Mr. Yerger’s counsel
should consent to a postponement which
amounts to an escape of his client from
,he death penalty. But it was the duty of
the Chief Justice to vindicate the law aud
(0 that the Constitution is not violated
j,y these acts of military usurpation. The
oiivenience or interests of a political
party or of a partisan government should
Lve had no influence upon him. Either
the trial of Yerger, a private citizen, by a
court martial in time of peace is iegal or
,is not. If it be, the sooner the coun
ty i- 1 so informed the better; and if it be
,~t it was the imperative duty of the
Chief Justice in the discharge of his high
■ ißlce to have so declared, that justice
,igbt be done in the case before him, and
that the Government might be perempto
ry enjoined from further violations of
the law of the land. To suffer wrong to
doue by others is to d> wrong one’s
,e]f. Such bargains may do amoug irad
iug politic! ms whose chief rule of action
j 9 expediency ; but they are unpardon
able when the highest judicial officer in j
the land is a party to them, and the j
liberties of the citizen are the subject of !
the trade.
TUB NEW CABI.K.
The Great Eastern has landed the cable
successfully on the island of St. Pierre—
Miquelon, French territory, where it will
connect with the American continent by
a cable belonging to the Massachusetts
Telegraph Company.
The reason why the French Govern
ment did not, as was at first proposed,
cnineet the two continents directly by
i,ne cable from Brest to Cape Cod, was the
objection made by the United .States Gov
ernment and tiie opinion given by the
Attorney General that the central govern
ment and not that of a State had the right
tograntthe privilege to land a cable on
American soil.
There is a rumor that the British Ocean
Telegraph Company, in order to continue
their jiresenfjtnouopoly in ocean telegraph
ic communication between America and
Europe, have purchased a controlling in
terest in the new company. Great and
Little Miquelon and St Pierre are a group
of islands oil the Southern coast of New
foundland, eighty live square miles in ex
tent, with a population of 510. The last
telegraphic advices announce that in case
the permission to land the cable in Massa
chusetts be forbidden, the managers of
the French cable propose to connect St.
Pierre and Cuba, and thus establish com
munication with the United States

Montezuma, Ga.. July 17, 1869.
Mr. Editor: An eccentric philosopher
remarked once upon a time that if every
one did not blow his own horn, it would
not be blowed lam of the opinion, how
ever, that the horn of Montezuma has not
oulv been handled, but blown too much,
for I have serious apprehensions concern
ing many more blasts; for, in the event
someone of the blasts were to change di
rections, it would be productive of an
awful catastrophe. It is bad enough as it
is, yet I cannot refrain from making one
more small blow, however dangerous it
may be, aud though it b 9 heard by the
Cuban army.
Our little village is in a prosperous con
dition, aud likelv to become more so, as
excavations are being made preparatory
to laying the foundation of the new brick
warehouse for the Planters’ Association.
The brick for the same, I have tieen In
formed, will begin to move forward on
Monday next. Beveral other brick build
ings will soon be in process of erection,
all of which, with but few exceptions, I
stated in your issue of the 11th ultimo,
notwithstanding the h'ast from ‘'Monte
zuma” in your issue of the loth ultimo to
the contrary, which blast came very near
proving disastrous to the village iu point
of real property, and which diminished
the health of the country to an alarming
extent.
You must allow me to call your atten
tion to that ever interesting, but seldom
heard of subject—crops. Crops here, taken
as a who e, are good. It is true, how
ever some are suffering for rain —not to
such an extent as *o be deemed fatal.
Not desirous of blowing any more, I am

Mr. Editor : I arrived here on Saturday,
and stopped at the McAfee Hotel, where
I was hospitably welcomed by its excel
lent proprietor, Mr. McAfee, who did
everything be could to make me comfort
able, for the sake of the Journal and

highest and most flattering terms of the
Journal and Messenger, and all con
nected with it, even your humble servant,
the Senior Cub.
The land iu this county is of the very
finest quality ; it sells at about twenty to
twenty-five dollars an acre.
I am happy to say that the crops in this
county are doing remarkably well. Cot
ton Averages from knee to waist high,
aud full of blossoms and bolls. Corn
and peas are doing well, but very little
planted; this isagreat misfortune through
out the Southern country, 'l’he potatoes
are not in a thriving condition, but the
planters say if they could only have plenty
of rain they will make a good crop.
In tny closing remarks I will slate that
if any desire to live iu a beautiful, pros
perous town, give Fort Valley a trial.

I HIVL OF TURNER.
The trial of Turner on the charge of counter
feiting bank notes of a New Jersey National Bank
was commenced Friday, July 16, before L T . S.
Commissioner Morrill.
District Attorney Milledge conducted the prose
cution, and the accused was-defended by Messrs.
Weems and Cow les, of this city, and Mr. Stevens,
of the firm of Stevens & Stevens, of Atlanta.
Owing to some technical irregularity, the affi
davit of Captain C. C. Neil, of the Treasury De-
I partment, was objected to by Mr. Weems, defend
ant’s attorney. This caused very little delay,
however, as the case was dismissed, and immedi
ately anew affidavit gotten up, covering the whole
grounds.
After a few preliminary remarks, Mr. Powell,
Teller of the City Banking Company, was sworn
as a witness. Mr. Pow ell testified as follows :
1 am Teller of the City Bunking Company, doing
business in the city of Macon, county of Bibb,
Shite of Georgia, anti located ou Third street.of the
city of Macon. Ido uot remember the date, but
some time since the prisoner, 11. M Turner, pre
sented a hundred dollar bill of National Bank cur
rency, (either for deposit or to be changed for
small bills —can’t say which,) which 1 detected as
being counterfeit, and gave back to him. I did
not make any mark on the bill to prove its spu
riousness, and neither did Turner, but he (Turner)
saying he believed the bill was gotten from a wo
man, took the bill and left the Bank.
Crons Examination. —Can't name any month, as
the rejecting counterfeit money is of frequent oc
currence Am not positive whether Turner in
tended this #IOO as a deposit or desired change for
it. Turner had no account in any other person’s
name with the City Hanking Company. I can't
sav whether't was a" deposit or to be exchanged.
I would not receive it. Turner then went out.
Vi. I’. Goodall, Cashier of the City Banking Com
pany, also examined the bill, and by him was also
pronounced spurious. Caunot say whether Tur
ner came to deposit this money for a certain woman.
Do not remember the entire conversation. Turin r
wanted to leave this bill in hands of bank. I can
not remember that Turner said that he got this bill
from a woman, but-thiuk he said so lam Teller
of the City Banking Company and do know coun
terfeits when I see them. May possibly be mis
taken sometimes—am not generally deceived,
however. I have not taken an unsound bill
iu two years. Have never seen the original
Treasury” Note plates of National currency.
Can detect counterfeits by comparison with
genuine bills by the information gathered from
works on the subject, by engravings sent from
Washington and by becoming familiar with the
notes generally—Turner did not ask to have this
bill examined. It was a National Rauk Note —
can’t say - hat bank. Do not know who sigued
the note. I took no record of it. Might have
been a genuine bill of this bank iu tbe office, but
it was not necessary to have it before me to detect
the counterfeit. I rejected some time ago a SSO
counterfeit of the National Bank of Jersey City.
This bill presented by Turner was rejected either
from the plate or signature. Do not remember
which. Ido rot know what bank this bill was on,
nor by whom signed. All National Bank notes are
very much alike, save the signatures. My judg
ment was that the bill Turner presented w as coun
terfeit and rejected accordingly. I remember but
this one time that Turner presented any unsouud
money. No one butan expert could have detected
the bill as being counterfeit.
J. Clarke Swatze testifies: I know Turner, he
is present in the room. I know of circumstances
under which he stands charged. On tbe 4th day
of July Mr. Turner came to my office, produced a
sulqxena and a letter from General Gartrtll, of
Atlanta, told me that he was ruined, and wished
to know my advice as to the best course for him
to pursue iu the matter. Mr. Turner said heei-
Fected to go to Atlauta, and wished my advice,
n defending his course to me in this transaction,
he went on to state that he had given *I,BOO of
this money in controversy to a colored woman
named Marian Harris. That he had done for the
reason that he feared be might be killed on his
passage from Washington to this city,
and that he did not wish this money to be
found on his person. He said that the money was
to be held for him until he reached home. I un
derstood him to mean by this money, counterfeit
money. Turner said that this money was found
between himself and the woman Marian Harris on
a ear seat, while traveling. He said that he in
structed her not to attempt to pass any of it, but
to return it to him after he reached home; and
that there was a controversy between them. Tur
ner and this woman, as to its genuineness. She
insisted that she could pass it, but he insisted that
she had better not try to do so. |
I refer entirely to rountafeit money, when Issy
this money. Conversation occurred in my office,
19 Cotton Avenue, in Bibb County, State of
Georgia and city of Macon. I know of Tomer
having in his possession counterfeit money at other
times. My reasons are these—at some period be
iween four and six months ago, Mr. Turner was in
my office, and Mr. C. T. Ward, the Ordinary, of
Bibb county, wben Mr. Turner produced a *IOO bill,
and remarked that he had presented it at some bank
in Macon, and they had refused to receive it be
cause of its spuriousness. Mr. Ward examined it
and thought it was a good bill, and said he would
ascertain whether or not it was good. They then
left my office, whether separately or together, I do
not know—and this is all that I know of that bill,
until this morning.
Cross Examination.—My feelings are not hostile
to the accused, except so far as I regard the man as
a criminal. I have no prejudices or ill feeling to
ward him 1 did not. then or at any time, tell Jeff.
Long, on his (Turner’s) receipt of the telegram of
his having been appointed Postmaster, that “I
intended to crush or kill him, and that the Repub
licans must help me do it,” or words to that effect.
I am editor of the American Union, and did write
the article—“ Turner in Irons” (Hereacopy of
ajj article on Turner was handed to the Court by
Col. Weems, the defendant’s attorney I Defend
ant’s attorney offered this article for the purpose
of impeachment
I do declare that I did publish the article that the
a-sertions of the rebel press were false that Turner
was carried to Atlanta in irons. I had told P.
M. Doyal during Hie month of May last that I in
tended to give Turner ,or words to that effect,
but not in connection with this matter, as it was
only a political question. I did not tell a person
in the presence of Wm. Jones, on the corner of
Payne’s drug store, about three weeks ago, that
“Turner was a , and that he
would soon put him where the dogs wouldn’t bark
at him ”
T. C. Murphy, sworn and testifies: 1 reside in
Atlanta, Ga. 1 am a special policeman. I arrested
a woman named Marian Harris for passing coun
terfeit money. There was another woman with
her who resides in Augusta. She said her name
was not Harris, but Sims, and that she had come
direct from Washington, l saw nor name, Marian
Harris, on a trunk, and asked if it was not
her name, aud she said it was. I then took
the two women to the guard house. I called
the Marshal of the city and showed my dispatch.
She, Marian Harris, first objected to be search
ed, but the other woman was willing to be
searched for the counterfeit money Marian Har
ris was first asked to 6tep aside, while I had
another party to search her. I stood a little
distance to keep the crowd back. She handed a
pocket-book (Murphy here produced it) to him,
and it was passed to me. It contained *950 in
National Bank notes, counterfeit, and *407 of gen
uine greenbacks. All tiie counterfeits on first
National Bank of Jersey City, New Jersey. 1
found this letter in Marian Harris’ trunk:
“Washington, D. C., June 6,1869.

Court then adjourned till 40 o’clock this morn
ing.
SECOND DAT.
The Court met yesterday pursuant to adjourn
ment, at 10 o’clock, in the third story of the Ayers’
building.
Before proceeding with the examination of wit
nesses, li. W. Cowles, Esq., counsel for the de
fence, asked tiie permission of the Court to read a
few leading principles of law, in regard to the na
ture and character ofjsueh evidence as had already
been introduced in this case, and as to what weight
it might have as to the guilt or innocence of the
accused. The Commissioner granted the request,
and Mr. Cowles occupied about one hour in read
ing such points of law as were applicable to the
ease in hand, and by which lie contended the Court
should tie governed. At the conclusion of his re
marks, the following testimony was introduced by
the defence for the purpose of impeaching tiie tes
timony of J. Clarke Swayze, as given in this case
on Friday :
J. F. Long, (colored,) sworn, says: I know J.
Clarke Swayze. I had a conversation with him
when the dispatch came announcing Turner’s ap
pointment as Postmaster, in Swayze’s office,
within a month past. I asked him if he had heard
the news. I told him that it was reported that
Turner had been appointed Postmaster. He said
lie reckoned it was not so. About three o’clock I
went again to see him, and told him it was posi
tively true. He said “Turner lias taken advantage
of me; him, I intend to kill him. Long, I
want you and -ill other Republicans to stand by
me.” 1 told him he had better wait till Turner came
home, and find out how it happen and. Am ac
quainted with Swayze’s general character; it is
bud. From my knowledge of him, 1 would not
believe him on his oath.
Cross Examined - Have known Mr. Swayze for
over a year, have frequently been with him at his
office, oil intimate terms, ever since he has been
here.
Direct Examination lies nmol. —Found him out
lately. Associated with him up to a very late
period. <>» Tuesday or Wednesday, after Turner’s
return from Atlanta," on the 6tli of July, an article
appeared in the Telegraph, of this city, with refer
ence to ttie matter. Swayze asked me if I had
seen a paper to-day. 1 told him yes, I asked him
if lie believed Turner was guilty. He said no. It
was a rebel lie. No telling how low they
could go. You can’t expect any better of them.
Look at their arrest of the colored man for tiie
murder of Ayer, and their cheek in arresting Mrs.
Adkins. About tiie 7th inst, this occurred. Ido
not know whether I believed Swvze then or not.
(j. r. Ward, sworn, says: lam Ordinary of
Bibb county. I met Turner at Swayze’s office
some four or five mouths ago. Turner showed a
*IOO note, he said he had presented it at Nutting’s
Bank, and it was rejected. I told him I would
take the bill and have it presented to some other
bank, and see what they would say about it. I did
not examine the bill closely. 1 directed Mr. Gerry,
my Clerk, to present it at another bank, a few wo
mlints afterwards. Turner never told me the bill
belonged to any woman over the river.
M. B. Gerry, sworn, says : Mr. Ward directed me
to take it to some bank. "I carried it to the bank
ing house of Cubbedge <fc Hazlehurst, in this city.
Presented it to the Teller. He examined it. Car
ried it to an adjoining room and brought it back,
and said it was a genuine bill. Never carried any
other bill to bank but for that purpose. I carried
the bill to the First National Bank of Macon. It
was closed. Think I returned there in tiie after
noon. It is mv impression that I presented some
hill at that bank. Am not certain as to the result.
I returned the Dill afterwards to H. M. Turner.
p. W. Doyle, sworn, says: I know Swayze.
About the first day of May I had a conversation
with him in reference to Turner, in my store, in
this citv. He came in and asked me if I had heard
what Turner had done. Turner had goue to
Washington with a list of names, asking his
(Swayze’s) appointment as Postmaster in Macon.
Turner had erased his name and inserted his own
(Turner’s.) He said he w'as going to give Turner
He had the documents or would procure
them with which to do it. Swayzesaid he had re
ceived a letter from Washington to that effect,
and that Turner had collected money for his paper
and was traveling on it there. Swayze’s character
is bad. I would not believe him on his oath.
William Jones, (colored) sworn, says: 1 know
Swayze by sight. On the corner of Payne’s drui'
store, in this city, I heard one evening, after 6
o’clock, Swavze say to another man, “Turner is a
d_d rascal. " I will soon have him where the dogs
will not bark at him.” According to what “ the
people ” say of Swayze, his character is bad, and I
would not believe him on his oath.
Jas. Fitzpatrick, sworn, says : I have lived in
Macon almost twenty years. Have been here fora
few years continually. Am a member of the Geo
rgia Legislature. For twelve months past have
been well acquainted with Swayze’s character iu
this community. His character is bad. I would
uot believe him on bis oath.
Cross Examined.— Am not very friendly with
Swayze, nor with Turner.
Frank Dishroon, (colored,) sworn, says: The
people have an opinion that Swayze s character is
bad. According to what tiie people say, I would
not believe hint on his outli I laid no right, ou
Wednesday last, to disbelieve Mr. Swayze’s state
ments to me about anything.
T. G. Steward, (colored,) sworn, says: lam
acquainted with the general character of Swayze
in this community; it is bad. From his general
character 1 would" uot relieve him on his oath. I
am a minister iu charge of the African Methodist
Episcopal Church in this city.
Cross Examined. Since April tnv opinion of
Swayze has been the same as now. I am Cashier
of the t reed man’s Savings’ Bank; Mr. Swayze
was a member of the Advisory Committee for
some time. My intercourse with Swayze, as with
all men, whether I would believe them on oath or
uot, is pleasant, and has been all the time.
Wm. 11. Whitehead, sworn, says : I am Assessor
Internal Revenue, Second District of Georgia. Am
acquainted with Swayze’s general character; it is
bad. 1 rum my knowledge of it, would not believe
him on oath.
Cross Examined— Do not have respect for tswayze,
and have nothing to do with him.
Fred Johnson, (colored,) sworn, says : Know
Swayze’s character in this community; it is bad. I
would not believe him on his oath.
Adjourned fill p. m.
afternoon session.
Court met pursuant to adjournment, and after
being called to order, the counsel for the defence
proceeded with the examination of witnesses :
R. D. Shropshire, sworn, says : Am local and
commercial editor of the Macon Telegraph ; refer
red to an article in the Telegraph ; recognized it as
one reproduced from the Augusta Chronicle and
Sentinel, of the 6th of July, aud republished in the
Telegraph on the Bth ; the” article refers to the ar
rest of the Macou Postmaster; the Chronicle aud
Sentinel arrives in Macon late in the afternoon of
the dav on which it is published ; we usually get it
from the postofflee the next morning after its ar
rival.
The object for introducing this testimony by the
counsel for the accused was to impeach swayze’s
testimonv, bv showing that iu his remark that he
referred to the article" in the Telegraph, which did
not exist at the time of said conversation between
Turner and Swavze—the articlecbeing published
subsequent to said conversation. The article was
admitted by the Court. (The conversation alluded
to, as the counsel contended, took place, as Swayze
stated, on the Fourth of July, and the article had
no existence until the 6th.)
The following witnesses were then introduced to
prove the bad character of Swayze, and impeach his
testimony in regard to Turner s alleged confession
GEORGIA JOURNAL AND MESSENGER.
to him. The same questions were put to each of
the witnesses, and the same replies, substantially,
were made by all of them, viz: Tnat Swayze was a ,
man of bad character, and that they would not be- .
lieve him on oath in a Court of Justice: W. H. [
Berry, Wm. R. Avant, James Martin, S. F. Gove,
whites, and Wm. Clarke, colored.
At the conclusion of the examination of these
last named witnesses, the testimony of the defence
closed, with the remark, on the part of Colonel
Weems, that five hundred witnesses could be ad
duced to prove the same thiug to which they tes- j
tilled, but he presumed that it was unnecessarv to
proceed further on the subject, and this argument ;
then began.
Mr. John A. Stevens, of Atlanta, had the open- |
ing speech, and he very ably defended the accused.
He was followed by hi’s associate in the case, CoL
John B. Weems.
The U. S. District Attorney, Col. John Milledge,
then proceeded to examine the testimony which |
had been offered. He concluded that it was a
duty which the committing magistrate owed to the
credit of the Government and to this community
that the prisoner be bound over to the C. S. Dis
trict Court. . .
The argument being closed. Commissioner Mor
rill solicited from the counsel in the ease the privi
lege of associating John U. Shorter, Esq , with
himself, while endeavoring to sift the testimony,
which was agreed to, aud the Commissioner then
announced the adjournment of the Court till Mon
day morning, at 10 o’clock, when his decision
would be given.
The Cur of Turner.
The interest which the entire community have
felt in the case of the Ex-Postmaster of Macon is
decidedly on the increase, and to-day the Court
room of the C. S. Commissioner will doubtless be
crowded. The well-known character of Turner is
canvassed and criticised in every point of view
In politics, Tamer has occupied a somewhat
conspicuous place, not only as an ex-member of
the Georgia Convention and Legislature, but as the
Vice-President of that obnoxious organization, the
National Union League of America. This is the
reason why the Radical press all over the C nion hat e
been telegraphing to know the result of his pre
liminary examination before the L. S. Commis
sioner’s Court. ...
But for the important telegraphic information
received on Monday morning by the U. 8. District
Attorney, and the subsequent agreement of tiie
counsel on both sides to reopen the case afresh on
Tuesday morning, we have good reason to believe
that the decision of the Honorable U. S. Commis
sioner would have resulted in binding lurner over
to appear at a higher Court for trial. It is true
that the evidence of the principal witness against
him was &trongly impeached, and several witnesses
swore they could not conscienciously believe him
upon his oath; but it is equally true that the evi
dence of Cap t. T. C. Murphy,of the Atlanta detective
force, which was prompt and conclusive, was not
impeached or questioned. f j(ll
termination of this* examination, no matter how it
may result, it is said that he will receive another
visit from U. 8. Deputy Marshal Neal, who has
another distinct charge to bring up, aud one moie
difficult perhaps to evade than the present.
Rumor says that the trial of to-day will develop
anew series of facts and bring several important
officials into a disagreeable notoriety.
*•«
The Arrest or Turner.
We learn from Capt. Cecil C. Neal, who arrested
Turner on Thursday last, that tiie warrant for his
arrest had been in his-possession five days before
the arrest was made. The arrest was precipitated
by a telegram from Atlanta, to Capt. Neal, stating
that tl ie negro woman, Marian Harris, was re
leased from custody on straw hail in the city of
Atlanta. The whole affair seems to be a free fight
between an Atlanta clique and Capt. Neal, an of
ficer. 'who asseverates he means to do ms duty, or
like tike Roman sentinel, “be found dead at his
post.” Capt. Neat asserts he has “the dead wood
on Tu ruer” aud that his duty shall be performed,
regard less of consequences.
The rumor that President Grant had telegraphed
to qua sh proceedings, on account of tiie damage
that in iglit be done the Republican party, is with
out foundation.
A (shooting Match.
On s Saturday evening last, a few roughs visited
the ho use of a young widow in tiie south eastern
portion of the eity, and commenced making posi
tive demonstrations by way of effecting an en
trance. The lady very coolly opened her front door
and commenced shooting from a navy revolver,
upon which thf? assailants at once took fright ami
left instantaneously. The shooting attracted the
attenti on of the police on that beat, who endeav
ored in vain to arrest the assailants, i lie drunken
crowd had evidently mistaken the house, and had
two or three of them been shot, it would have
served them perfectly right.
Head the Papers.
Those planters who take a uewspaper, pay for it
and rend it regularly, are the men who bear the
highest reputation as agriculturists, and who are
the most valued in their respective neighborhoods
for shrewdness aud sagacity in their business trans
actions. Many a planter, if the truth were known,
saves more than ten times the price of his su i—
scription in the course of a year, by tiie informa
tion that lie obtains through the columns of his
paper. It is useless to argue the point, the man
who does not read the papers is a long way behind
the age.
U. S. Commissioner’s Court.
The Court opened at ten o’clock Monday moru
ing, pursuant to adjournment. Tiie Commissioner
stated, that highly important information |having
reached theU." 8. District Attorney relative to the
defence, it had been mutually agreed upon ttiat the
case should he re-opeued, and that therefore the
Court would stand adjourned until luesday morn
ing at ten o’clock.

Liverpool, July 3, 1869.
With regret we are still compelled to acknow
ledge general dullness as prevalent in must branch
es of commerce, although such a state of matters
appears inconsistent with not a few of the leading
features of commercial enterprise. The official re
turn of exports of manufactured goods for the
month of Mav last shows a very considerable in
crease of value as compared with the same returns
of the preceding mouth, and also as compared
with the month of Mar Lst year; this, too, in the
face of a general complaint as to the adverse con
dition of the various articles of cotton manufac
tures, which it is declared on all hands cannot be
carried on with a profit on account of the high
price of cotton. The stock of this staple com
modity is now so low —nearly a million bales less
than at the same time last year —that any material
depreciation of its value can hardly lx looked for
for some considerable time to come. The high
price of raw cotton has Interfered in a large de
gree with the amount of production In the manu
facturing districts, which has iu turn assisted in
clearing off the stocks held in foreign markets,
and thus tended to increase the prospect of an
early improvement iu the demand for goods. The
slate of the money market also shows indications
of a better feeling, and the hopes of those who
are most deeply interested In the matter begin to
expand.
Thi- improved tone is further encouraged by the
fine weather which has so recently set in, affording
good grounds for expecting a much more favora
ble harvest than was deemed probable a month or
six weeks ago. Scarcely any doubt can exist now
that the harvest wilt be a week or two later than
that of last year, and it also seems equally certain
tliat it will be deficient, both iu quantity and
quality, compared with its very abundant and ex
cellent yield List year. While this is admittedly
true of the wheat crop, it secuis hardly less certain
that whatever deficiency may arise in the crop of
wheat, most other cereal* will be proporti.inahly
large and valuable, thus compensating lully for
any defect, I’eas, beans and root crops arc repre
sented as healthy and promising, and tbe hay crop
is of sufficient amplitude, taken in conjunction
with the other meat giving and dairy articles of
fodder to afford good grounds for exacting an Im
portant reduction iu the cost' of animal food; so
that, ou the whole, agricultural prospects are en
couraging and indicative of a geueral easiness In
the food markets— a condition of affairs w hich in
variably tells favorably ou home consumption, and
tends in a great measure to create a demand for
manufactures.
I nfortmmtely, the misapprehension which has
resulted in trade contentions and strikes has not
yet lieen cleared away, and the unhappy influences
created and die-cmiuated by this misunderstand
ing still exercise a depressing effect upon industry
of nearly all kinds without it is to be regretted
giving signs of any mitigatiug circumstances
which can iudieate the approach of a better feeling
between employers and employed.
Wood, like most other branches of trade which
are deeply atlected by the condition of affairs iu
the manufacturing districts, continues without
animation.
1 have for many years oeeu uppw—t ... *i,„ nse
of calomel, having suffered severely in my family
from its bad effects, and have looked arouud in
every direction to find a remedy for biliousness,
torpid liver, dyspepsia, etc., which I know marly
every oue suffers from more or less in this climate.
And I believe I have found it in SI unions’ Liver
Regulator. 1 have knowu this medicine since
1839, and have seen it used in hundreds of cases,
and can confidently assert that it has always ex
ceeded my expectations, and cured eases that were
thought hopeless. It is a duty 1 almost think I
owe to the suffering to let them know what has re
lieved so many, to my knowledge.
Respectfully yours, Grenville Wood.

THE WORLD GROWS WISER.
The human stomach lias been a shamefully
persecuted organ. There was a time wh-u for
every direlietlon ol duty It was punished with
huge doses of the most disgusting and nauseous
drugs. In vulu it rijeeted them, aiul (literally)
returned them upou llie hands of those who ad
ministered them. Tiny were forced upou it
again and again, until Its solvent power was
thoroughly drenched out of it.
The world Is wiser now Ilian It was iu that
drastic era, when furious pui gstlon and mercu
rial salivation were what Artemus Ward would
have called Ihe “main holt” of Ihe faculty. In
cases ot dyspepsia and liver complaint.
Thogieat modern remedy for Indigestion aud
biliousness is HOSTETIER’g .STOMACH BIT
TERS, a preparation which lias the merit ofcom
blnlng a palatable flavor with su h tonic, aperi
ent and anliblllous properties, as were never
heretofore unlt< and iu any medicine.
It lias been discover- and, al last, t hat sick people
are not like the tabled Titans, w ho found pros
tration so refreshing that, when knocked down,
they rose from the earth twice as vlgori us as be
fore. When an invalid Is prostrated by powerful
depleting drugs,lie Is apt to slay prostrated ; and
the debilitated being aware of Ihe fact, prefer the
building up to the knocking down system of
treatment.
HOSTETTKR’B BITTERS meets the require
ments of the rational medical pliilo opliy which
at present prevails. II Is a perfectly pure vege
table remedy, embracing the three lmpo taut
properties of a preventive, a tonic, aud an alter
ative. It fortifies the body against disease, In
vigorates and it-vitalizes the torpid stomach and
liver, and effects a most salutary change in the
entire s> stem, when In a morbid condition.
In summir, when the enfeebling temperature
renders ihe human organization particularly
susceptible to unwholesome atmospheric influ
ences, the Bitters should betaken asa protection
against epidemic disease.

AND WHEN ABRAHAM AND TH E
People bi held this wonderful cure which were
produced by Ihe drink, Abraham said, “My chil
dren must not suffer; give me thy drink todi Ink
and 1 will give it a name.”
Ynd so Abraham drank, and said there was
nothing like it, even In Sangamon county; that
it was biller to the lips, but good tor the stom
ach; and because there were bitter times In
fighting the masters of the plantations, it shall
be fotevermore called Plantation Bitters;
and so it has bet n.
And Ihe wonderful work which it has per
formed Is witnessed at this day In every town,
parish, village and hamlet throughout all the
world.
And he said, ‘'Let it be proclaimed throughout
the length and breadth of the land, from the val
leys and mountain-tops, that all who suffer from
evers, dyspepsia, weakness, loss of appttlte,
nervous headache, and mental despondency
will And relief through the Plantation Bitters
They add tone to the stomach, and brilliancy to
