AITQ-USTA. Q-A.
FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 29, 1869
JUSTICE WABNEB DISSENTS.
We published on yesterday a most import
ant decision of the Supreme Court of Geor
gia, whereby Chief Justice Brown and Jus
tice McCay affirm the constitutionality of
the Relief Law of 1868. To their ruling
Justice Warner dissents .and dissents in
language refreshingly strong and emphatic.
He is clearly of opinion that the attempt to
prove the Act innocent of impairing the
obligation of contract is an unworthy quib
ble and more the effect of partisanship than
judicial integrity. Passing from tVe tech
nicalities of the case to more tangible points,
Mr. Justice Warner says:
•* Is the contract and the obligation to per
form it as valuable now, under the provisions
of the act of 1868, as it was under the law ap
plicableto the contract, at the time it was made ?
“This is the practical question to be answer
ed. In view of the obligation imposed upon
me to support and maintain the integrity of the
federal Constitution, which declares that' no
State shall pass any law Impairing Uu obliga
tions of contracts,’ and not entertaining the
least doubt that the act of 1868, according to
the decisions of the Supreme Court of the
United States, is a palpable violation of that in
strument, I am unwilling to embalm myself in
my oWn infamy upon the records of this court
as a debauched judicial officer, in holding that
act to be constitutional; therefore I dissent
from the judgment of the court.”
Some may be disposed to condemn the
warmth of the language employed, while
upholding the dissent conveyed. We do
not sympWthtee with any such squeamish
ness, and maintain that the terms used by
Justice Warner are fully up to the parlia
mentary requirements of the matter. If
Brown and McCay were not of the rhino
ceros order, this thrust of Warner’s would
penetrate their official cuticle. But men of
hardy and adventurous consciences are
proverbial for the toughness of their hides.

TO THE

AND
Tlie Treasurer’* Kejoiuder.

Gentlemen : I have found the enclosed re
port of the Treasurer published in the newspa

ings’of the Honse that this report was referred
to your committee:
Treasurer's Office, )
Atlanta, January 21st, 1869. )
To the Honorable House of Representatives of
the State of Georgia:
In response to your resolution of yesterday,
as follows: “ Resolved, that N. L. Augier,
Treasurer of this State, be, anrl he is hereby re
quested to communicate to this House, as early

this State; what is the state of the accouuts at
this time tfit.h the State of Georgia and the
partv or parties with whom the State bonds
have been hypothecated; sriving a lull and clear
statement ot nl! matftfl In Ms resolution re
ferred to.” I have the honor to report that on
the 31st day of September, 1868, his Excellency
Governor Bullock and myself delivered to the
ao-ent of the Fourth National Bank ol New
York a contract, to place in their possession
one hundred and fifty thousand dollars ($150,-
000) of the seven per cent, bonds of the State,
on or before the 15th day of November, 1868,
upon which contracts as collateral security,
said bauk advanced ns one hundred thousand
dollars ($100,000) cash. On the 6th of October,
1868, similar contracts to the amount of sixty
thousand dollars were executed and delivered
to the agent of same bank, upon which securi
ty said hank advanced us forty thousand dol
lars ($40,000) cash.
On the 17th day of November, 1868, there
was prepared and forwarded from this office
six hundred thoasuid dollars ($600,000,) new
seven per cent, bonds of the State of Georgia,
dated November Ist, 1868, signed Rufus B. Bul-
Jock Governor, David G. Ootting, Secretary of
State, coupons signed by the Treasurer, to the
Fourth National BaDk, t® carry out the terms
of the contracts made to them September 2lst
and Oitober 6th, 1868, and to be hypothecated
for further sums of money, to meet the interest
on the public debt fallen and falling due, and
for other purposes.
November 9th, 1868, we received by express
$25 000 as an advance on said bonds. Novem
ber’l2th, $25,000 by express. November 20th,
$25 000 on draft of Governor Bullock, Novem
ber 21st, $25,000 on draft ®f Governor Bullock,
December 7th, $25,000 by express, December
12tb, $25,000 by express, and December 26th,
$25,000 by express, all of which amounts were
received into the Treasury.
On the 23d day of December, 1868, supposing
a considerable amount of the new seven per
cent, bonds had been sold, and desiring to
make a report of them in my annual report to
the Governor, I wrote to the Fourth National
Bank, asking them to advise me what amount
of the new seven per cent, bonds had been
sold, and at what price, aud at the same time
to send me a complete statement or account
current of the State with the bank. On the 9th
instant I received a full statement of the ac
count, and a letter, in which was stated : “None
of the new seven per cent, bonds have been
sold, it being considered unadvisable to do so,
in consultation between our President and
Governor Bullock, it being considered by many
that the Legislature authorizing them was an
illegal body.” .
Besides crediting themselves in the account
current with the various amounts named
above, they also took credit for a large amount
which I did not know anything about, and
which had never reached the Treasury. Not
knowing how to account lor these credits I
immediately started, on the eve of the 10th in
stant, for New York, to get a full explanation ot
them. Having arrived in New York, proceed
ed to the Fourth National Bank and found that
Governor Bollock had drawn drafts to the
amount of thirty-five thousand dollars ($35,000,)
(copy of the drafts I give below,) which amount
has never been paid in nor reported to the
Treasury by Governor Bullock;

The statements made by
Treasurer are so insidious, and his cour.-e to-
and with, myself so extraordinary, for
Tneln hU position, 1 feel it due to myself,
is a well as in my ofl*l •P* ty jo
present to you certain facts which will I thm
-ustain the position I now take, that the action
if the Treasurer—a subordinate official of the
Executive Department—amounts to participa
tion in what wonid seem to be a conspiracy
against the Executive.
No one would eo lurther than myself in sus
taining the Treasurer In any and all ® e “
which were necessary for the protection of the
Treasury against fraud, peculation or unlawful
expenditure, and of this fact the present Tlrea
stirer has had ample evidence ; but I propose
io submit for your consideration fa , , i ts |
tend to show that the coarse of the f reusurei
is prompted by other motives.
I found it necessary, in order to secure the
full completion #f the cap.tol building and
public offices iu time for the reception of the
General Assembly, to make certain advaucesot
money to the Messrs. Kimball. ant ' ot ’^
the money for such advances from the Fourth
National Bank upon my official
not propose, however, in this communication
to argue the propriety of that course, but simply
to state the fact. .* . .
Those amounts were charged in account cut -
rent with the State, and the bank was requested
by me to send to the Treasurer a full statement
of account up to the Ist instant. . ,
With the knowledge that such a statement
had been forwarded, I arrived in Atlanta on
Snnday morning, the 10th, prepared to enter on
Mon<»«y uppn the duty of making and com
pleting my report to the General Assembly.
On Mondav, therefore, at the usual u°ur, I
was at my office in the capitol, and invited the
Treasurer and Comptroller General to-present
their respective reports.
The. Comptroller General presented his able
report, but the Treasurer was not present.—
Upon inquiring of the Treasurer’s clerk, ids
son, I was informed that the Treasurer, his
father, had “gone out of town lor a day or
two.” His reply to my iuquiry, as to whether
the Treasurer would be back in time for tbe
meeting of the Legislature was, that he “ did
not know.” He further informed me that his
father had received the account current from
New York, and that he, the son, was making
out a report in accordance with his father's in
structions.
The report was presented to me on Tues
day, and as it made no mention of the amounts
charged by the bank on my drafts, I decided
ndt to make any report upon this matter until
the Treasurer’s ’ return, when the accounts and
vouchers could be verified.
I did not learn until Friday, the 15th, that,
he had gone to New York, and then only ob
tained the information by a letter from Wash
ington, D. C., which related some remarkable
statements as having been there made by the
Treasurer.
I thep sent for Ins son and presented him the
letter, and asked why he did not tell me frankly
at first that his father had gone to New York.
He replied that “Father wanted it kept en
tirely secret, and did not want any one to know
where he had gone.” .
I further asked that as his father left Snnday
night, after knowing that I was in the city all
day, why, if he was anxious for information, he
did not first come to me.
The son replied that “ Father had his things
all packed, and wanted to visit Washington on
some old business of his own, and thought he
would go any how.”
About this time it was reported to me that a
person occupying intimate personal relations
to the Treasurer had assured some members of
the General Assembly, in a semi-confidential
manner and in general terms, that if adjourn
ment could be prevented, Augier wonld bring
home ample evidence for impeachment of the
Governor.”
The Treasurer returned on Sunday, the 17tb,
and on Tuesday morning, ttie 19th, in response
to my invitation, he called on nie, and in the
course of the interview then had, after being'.n
fermed ot the facts touching the drafts, and
seeing the voucher? iu my possession, and in
respoue to my query a® to why be should have
taken the stops which I had referred to, he,
after assuring me of his confidence in niv in
tegrity, used the following language : “ To be
frank with yon, as I desire to be with every
body, 1 do liot think you have treated me with
the courtesy that is due to my office, and,
besides, I understood that you were trying to
have the State put back into military govern
ment, and get all the power into your own
hands. I was opposed to this, and decided to
fight you on it any way that / nmW."
"Upon my explaining to error as to
military gornermmentif-dsetf his
respect, rcgnrd, &c., And the interview .closed.
i then decided to prepare a report of the
action take# bw-wyseif in wrgrrthrttng the Wans,
making the advances to secure the heating,
lighting and furnishing of the public buildings,
md submit it, together with a supplemental
statement from the Treasurer, to the General
Assembly.
On Wednesday, the 20th, the resolution was
adopted, to which the Treasurer responds.—
On the morning of the 21st, the day following,
my Secretary called on the Treasurer, and. in
my name, stated to biro that I had repeatedly
called fora copy of the account current with
onrbank agent, in New York, and desired es
pecially to have it, and also that when he com
pleted, liis report in response to the resolution,
I would be pleased to see him and the report
before it was transmitted to the House. The
Treasurer promised to send the account cur
rent, but refused either to call or exhihit liis
report, saying: “The Governor lias not treated
me. with proper courtesy until he finds it to
Ids interest to do so.”
The report was sent in before 12 o’clock the
same day, and the account was not handed to
me unt.ii lat.e in the afternoon, at the hotel.—
I therefore had no opportunity either to be ad
vised of the nature of the report, or to prepare
a statement to accompany it.
The Treasurer states in this report, referring
to the drafts drawn by myself: “Not knowing how
to. account for these credits, I immediately
started, on the eve of the 10th inst, for New
York, to get a full explanation of them."
As the bank account, in at least one of the
cases, states specifically thst the draft was
drawn by myself, and as I was at that time in
Atlanta, with the Treasurer’s knowledge, and
accessible to him, he could tr-vc ohtained “ a
full explanation” without going to New York.
The report further states that he “ found that
Governor Bullock had drawn drafts to the
amount of $35,000, which amount, has never
been paid in or reported to the Treasury by
Governor Bullock.”
This statement is made on the twenty first,
notwithstanding that, at the in'erview on the
morning of the nineteenth, the Treasurer saw
my vouchers, and was entirely advised as to the
whole matter.
The published proceedings of the House, as
given in the cvcnijg papers of the 21st, simply
mention the Treasurer’s report as having been
referred to the committee, without publishing
the report in full. 1 am informed, ho.wever,
that the Treasurer’s clerk—his son—used very
considerable exertions to cause the report to
be published in full in a morning paper, thus
evincing an inordinate desire to give the mat
ter a publicity which it would not have obtain
ed in the ordinary course of official procced
ings.
1 respectfully submit it to your committee
that the course pursued by the Treasurer, as
herein stated, indicates a malicious attempt to
discredit the integrity or (lie Executive, to the
end that a partisan political movement in on
position to the present administration might
be advanced.
I regret that the conduct of the Treasurer,
viewed in connection with his report, forces
me to this conclusion. Had be been at his
post, at a time when his duty especially requir
ed it, a full exhibit could have, and would have,
been made to the General Assembly accom
panying my message.
Had he complied with my request and pre
sented to me his response to the resolution,
such exhibit could, and would, then have been
made.
Whenever the Treasurer abandons his pre
sent mistaken position,- and places himself in
oroner official relations with the Ex“'-'' ,tT ;
officer of th«- ° f
♦l,O „o„„r„meni r»» •<■«' complete reports will
be made t" *£o General Assembly, covering (he
«2Jucta? condition of the State, and of the
transactions which have been had under the
authority of the acts past at the last session.
The credit of our State is better, and onr
bonds sell for a higher rate than those of any
other Southern State. But I respectfully sub
mit that, this credit cannot be maintained by
permitting subordinate officials to advance
their political views, or their personal opinions
of what is demanded by “com lesy,” through
insidious attacks upou the integrity of the
Executive. _
Rufus B. Bullock, Governor.
Treasurer’s Office, )
* Atlanta, Ga., Jan nary. )
To the Honorable Finance Committee of the
House of Representatives:
Your communication of the 26th iust., ask
ing a full explanation of my course with Gov.
Bullock, received. In response to your first
inquiry, why I did not communicate with him
before going to New York, on the 10th, I
would state that, from statements in the ac
count from the Fourth National Bank, received
the day before,' my own protec
t on, and that of ray securities, and the inter
ests of Georgia, required that I should see and
confer with said bank before communicating
with him, from the fact .that there was much
mystery in large amounts drawn from said
bank, to appear ncee involving the Governor
in an unlawful use of the funds of the State.
This will explain my son’s reticence, when in
terrogated by the Goternor, as to where I was.
The account was already involved in a cloud I
eonid not penetrate, ana, not knowing the bank
officers, I feared there might be farther myste
ry should the Governor be advised where 1 bad
.gone. As an evidence of a part ot the mystery
the State of Georgia was, on the 29th of Octo
ber, charged, in th® money column, with
seventeen thousand dollars ($17,000), with
out stating to whoso order, to whom paid,
or what fori On the 14th of December the
State was charged “ informal draft sent to
Washington," ten thousand dollars '($10,000)
withoat Staling who drew it, to whom paid,
or what for. Noticing the Governor report*
ed alternately in Washington and the Fifth
Avenue Hotel, New York, with his Private
Secretary, I felt apprehensive that this money
was finding ventilation io a way not to reach
the Treasury of Georgia, and leave the natural
inference that the money had reached the Trea
sury, thus making me and my securities re
ponsible for what he had spent without any
authority in law. My suspicious were further
aroused from the seventeen thousand dollars
($17,000) stated above corresponding in amount
with the private account of the Governor with
a certain bank, and the fact that one of the
Secretaries presented me with the bank notice
of the maturing of a four thousand dollar note
of the Governor’s, with the apparent intention
of soliciting and testing whether 1 would ad
vance On the Governor’s private account.
These facts; in connection wit|j the .known ex
travagance ot the Executive Department, I
considered more than ample ground for toy
apprehensions and departure without seeing
the Governor.
To your second inquiry, “ why you did .not,
as requested by the Governor, submit your re
port to him belore sending it to the Legisla
ture,” I have simply to state that the inquiry
originated in the House, the answer involving
the conduct of the Governor Under these cir
cumstances I considered the rules of propriety
and respect required me first to report to
where the inquiry originated.
Yon “further desire to knowthe state
ments ot Gov. Bollock, contained in the acctHtt*
panylng communication to.tbe committee are
true ?’% His first charge is “ conspiring against
the Executive.” If he means by this, opposi
tion to the usiypatiou of power, and unlawful
expenditure of the funds of the State, his charge
is well sustained. The Governor should know
that no one has a right to use a cent of the
State’s money except by appropriation, and a
warrant drawn in conformity with law. if he
can use tbiity-five thousand dollars, lie can use
five hundred thousand. Still he has the arro
gance to state, “ no one would go farther than
myself in sustaining the Treasnrer in any and
all measures which were necessary for the pro
tection ot the Treasury against traud, specula
tion, or unlawful expenditures, and of this fact
the present Treasurer has had ample evidence.”
The Governor knew when he penned the
above that I had made warlare on several of his
warrants, and refused payment because of ille
gality ; he further knows that he urged tne to
pay mileage to clerk, which he
knew was “unlawful expenditure” and down
right robbery. He has employed and paid three
times as many clerks as has been customany in
the Executive Department, allowing some full,
even extra, pay when they were absent half the
time. He issued a warrant of two thousand
dollars ($2,006.) upon an account running
from 185S to 1803, which Governor Jenkins
and the Legislature of 1866 refused to pay. He
advocated the paying of Messrs. Kimball
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) rent per
annum for the Opera Building, and seemed
anxious I sbonld lend my influence in that
direction, which led me to infer that lie was
interested in the building, and the unauthoriz
ed use of the amount stated above strengthens
my conjectures.
I must say the Governor’s imagination was
very fruitful and greatly in error, and his
vanity easily fettered, wheu he stated I assured
him of my confidence in his integrity.
His statement is overrunning with truth
that 1 was opposed to military government un
der his dictation. Having opposed secession,
and early and patriotically entered the service
of reconstruction, I expect to fight under that
banner until Georgia is restored to full partici
pation in the General Government, and purged
of all political mountebanks. His pretended
speech at Albion, N. Y., was a faint, though
unmistakable light, that fit ally kindled and ex
ploded through Surauer’s battery at Washing
ton.
The Governor must suppose me very credu
lous If he presumes, under the circumstances,
I would regard the receipt he reters to valid,
especially without, any statement of account.
This receipt was an after-thought after my de
parture, and wonld never have made its ap
pearance at the time it did hut for my absence.
Why did the Governor not account for the sev
enteen thousand dollars ($17,000) he drew iu
October ? He returned to Atlanta after that,
and occupied tbe same building tor weeks,
where be saw me daily, without reporting it,
and finally made bis third visit to Washington
and New York since lie has been Governor,
keeping this whole matter in silence,
though wo often conversed. monetary
affairs of the Staff. . A ' ' j.
. H-ta-presumed the different cldpartmeuts of
the State should have some knowledge of the
whereabouts of the other, but in violation of
this rule, the Governor has had three long
intervals of absence, tbe last, forty two days,
without the other departments knowing the
time of his departure, where to address him,
or the expected time of his return, yet lie
severely censures and reproves me for an ab
sence of only seven days, looking after tbe se
curity of funds and credit of the State, though
the first aud only absence since my office was
opened.
Tbe Governor manifests some apprehension
ahout t(ie downfall of the administration. I
certainly desire that he should prove himself
worthy to be one of the main pillars, yet if he
should fall, I (rust it will not be like Samson’s,
but that the Temple of Liberty will survive.
His efforts to excite the sympathy of the Re
publican party are so unfortunate and feebly
drawn, tint I shall refrain from any comment,
further than to state be attaches too much im
portance to my partisan iofiuence, and I am
truly sorry lie has found it necessary to resort
to this weak subterfuge. Certainly, it, is a peer j
way to prodnee harmony and strength of party
ro assault in such a spirit even a “subordinate" |
liis Excellency need have no donbt as to my
position. Having been an ardent supporter of
General Grant, I believe his incoming adminis
tration will prove the pnre patriot and able
statesman, as he was the military chieftain of
the nation, destined to lead ns to as signal vic
tory in the Cabinet as he did iu the field. Mny
his arm, that was successfully raised to per
petuate the Union of the States, crush out
every effort, come they from open foes or pre
tending friends, to prevent a full return of each
subordinate to the national fold.
In my answers to the resolution of inquiries
from the House, I gave simply a statement o(
facts to the questions as propounded, leaving
others to make their own inferences, aud draw
their own deductions. If the truth hurts, no
one regrets more than I that his Excellency
has placed himself in n situation to feel its
goading?, and his resorts to abuse aud maleyo
lenc-e in his efforts to sustain himself. Such
weapous are sure to wound those who use
them. If, in my efforts to ward off these un
dignified assaults of the Executive, 1 have used
some sharpness, and called to aid other develop
ments: casting a shadow on his Excellency,
I trust the indulgence of the honorable com
mittee will excuse the manner in which I have
used the weapons of truth called forth by your
inquiries.
Respectfully submitted.

[From the Atlanta Constitution.
Comptroller General’s Report.
We are indebted to Hon. Madison Bell,
Comptroller General of the State, for a copy
ot bis report of the business in his office, from
August 11,1808 (the time when he entered upon
its duties), to January 1, 1869.
The report embraces much valuable informa
tion to the people of the State at large, and we
regret that onr limited space will not admit of
copious extracts from it at this time.
At the time Mr. Bell took charge of the office
there was a balance in the Treasury of $103,-
179 37. The receipts into the Treasury since,
including the amount turned over by Captain
Rockwell, Provisional Treasurer, amount to
$547,653 42. Expenditures of same period,
$430,957 77; leaving balance in »»**■ *v<=..oury,
January I- 1 oot> , 65.
ASSETS BELONGING TO THE STATE.
From the report we glean the following
the statement of State’s interests iu bank and
railroad stocks:
In the Bank of the State of Georgia, 1,833
shares.
In the Bank of Augusta, 890 shares.
In the Bauk of the Georgia R. R. A B. Cos.,
18(5 shares.
In the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, SIO,OOO
shares.
Having consulted the most reliable authority
at hand as to the market value of these slacks
at the present time, the result is as follows,
to wit:
1838 shares Bank of the State of Georgia,
worthless.
890 shares Batik of Augosta, worthless.
186 shares Georgia R. R. <fc B. Cos., at S9O per
share, $16,740.
10,000 shares Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, at
$35, $350,000.
The Western and Atlantic Railroad, stretch
ing from Atlanta, Georgia, to Chattanooga,
Tennessee, belongs to the State of Georgia, and
is yielding to the State $25,000 per month net
revenue. It is required by law to report this
road without any stipulated value. And, inas
much as the road and its management have
been the subject of recent inspection, and no
doubt thorough investigation by a joint com
mittee of the General Assembly, it wouid be a
work of superogation to enter into details as
to its value and present or intnre profits, even
if the law required it.

report, designated-as follows :
“■ A.”—Exhibiting a statement of registration
and eleclious in tin* Stale, showing the number
of Voters registered and the VOle pf each county
on the convention and ratification of the eon
etitution, the vote for Governor aud the vote
for President at the last election.
“ B.”—Showing the number of polls, pro
fessions, dentists, and also the number of deaf,
dumb and blind for the year 1867.
“ C.”—Showing the number of acres of land
in each county, its value, the value of city and
town property, money, solvent debts, mer
chandise, «sec., as returned on the tax digesst,
1867.
“ D.”—Showing the total value of bonsefiold
and kitchen furniture, plantation and mechan
ical tools, value of property not enumerated,
aggregate value of all property, valne alter de
ducting S2OO, number of bands employed be
tween 12 and 65, children between 6 and 18,
conmies in default for 1867, tbe amount of tax
op polls, professions, <fcc., and the amouot of
net tax paid by each county.
“ E.” —Showing the amount paid to each
Senator and Representative, and total amount
paid each Senatorial district.
THE CONVENTION TAX.
A portion of the convention lax remaining
uncollected, for the payment of the unpaid
scrip, the Comptroller recommends the Legis-
Ikture to make an appropriation, thp conven
tion tax to be used in reimbursing tne State as
fnt as it can be collected. «*"
MAIMED SOLDIERS. **
The amounts appropriated to furnish artificial
limbs to indigent and maimed by the
acts of March, 1866, and December, 1866,
amounted in the aggregate to $50,000. Os this
sum about SIB,OOO remains unappropriated.
The Comptroller justly apd generously re
commends an additional of
fifteen thousand dollars, or so much as may be
necessary, to furnish such as are still unprovid
ed for with the necessary sum to procure an
artificial limb.
MAIL FACILITIES.
Tbe want of adequate mail facilities in North
eastern Georgia is referred to, and the Legisla
ture requested to call the attention of Congress
to that fact.
BANKS AND BANK AGENCIES.
• There being no new law in existence rela
tive to tax on banks, the Comptroller recom
mends the passage ot an act making the tax
uniform on all banks and bank agencies ia the
Btate.
FOREIGN INSURANCE COMPANIES.
It appears from the researches of the Comp
troller tint foreign insurance companies arc
not required by the Code to pay any StatgfaSr
hence he recommends the passage of a law re
quiring them to pay a license fee before they
shall be permitted to do business in this State.
There are O'her subjects of general interest
in the report, which we would be glad to touch
upon did our space permit.

The Machine, Called Man,
Is a very complicated and delicate one and is more lia
ble to get out of order, and much more difficult to repair,
than any combiua inn of wheels, and crack-, and levets.
made by the bauds of man Asa rule, it is tinkered too
much, a.nil badly tinkered ot that. It is often calonol
ized, narcotized, dep’eted, and otherwise misused, when
all that it rea'ly needs is a wholesome tonic aqd restora
tive, like nos TETTER’S STOMACH BITTERS, tai#t
it in proper trim and keep it so. The stomach is shame
fully maltreated. In the first place, the food which its
juices are intended to dissolve, is too frequently thrown
into it hastily. and in a half masticated condition, in
which state the gastric acid cannot properly act upon it.
The resalt ia dyspepsia. Then comes the doctor, and,
finding the digestive organs weak sod the bowels inert,
he proceeds to weaken and paralyze still more with dras
tic purgatives. These fail’ng—as they always do—to pro
duce a salutary change, be t- 11s the invalid that medical
science can do no more for him. This, with all <!>•« J-2S
ence, is a mistake—one of th«— which Talley-'
jjinA swwawtaiftount to crime. What the dyspep
tic needs ia invigoration. Strengthen the stomach with
HOSTETTER-8 BITTERS, and the stomach will
strengthen every other part of the human machine, and
make it, in common parlance, as good as new. Upon the
state of the digestion depends in a measure, the condi
tion of the whole system. Now, the Bitters are the most
admirable tonic known. They consist of the finest vege
table invigorants and res orstives, combined with an
unadulterated stimulant. The dyspeptic needs nothing
else to effect a cure, except alight, nutritious diet, a-d
a fair amount of exercise. Ev-n in the absence of these
last mentioned accessories, the tonic and alterative prop
erties of the preparation w 11 work wonders, euabliug the
dyspeptic to digest inferior fare with comparative ease
and to maintain a good habit of body, in spite of the draw
backs of a Bedentary occupation. janlS-tfehl

Notice from the Louisville Courier.
“ The attention of the puh'ic is called to an adver
tisement headed Chartreuse Elixir or Jesuits’ Secret
It is said to be the most effective cure for the diseases
enumerated ever discovered. It is certainly creating
a sensation in the medical world, and its discovery
will he hailed with delight by thousands who have
been hopelessly afflicted.
“It is more effective than the Hot Springs of Arkan
sas, many persons having returned from that fountain
A -permanently by
its use. It is the discovery of one of tne most eun-
nent and successful physicians on ihc Continent,
whose faith in its curative qualities is sufficiently at
tested by thousands. We have been assured by gen
tlemen with whom we are well acquainted, that they
have seen cures effected in the line of diseases it pro
resses to treat that had baffled the skill of physicians
of the greatest research and highest standing. We,
therefore, do not hesitate to endorse to the confidence
of the afflicted.”
Noth* from the. Louisville Journal.
“ We invite attention to Mr. Wm. G. Gbit’s adver
tisement of this newly discovered and most wonderful
remedy. It is called tbe ‘Jesuits’ Secret,’ might be
called the Secret of Perpetual Youth. Its invigorat
ing, beautifying, and life prolonging qualities are cer
tainly unsurpassed; nay, they are unequaled In this
respect, it throws the famous Hot Springs in Arkan
sas, almost magical as they are, far into the shade. It
throws into the shade everything of the kind, indeed,
exeept the Fountain of Youth which Ponca db Lbos
sought, and from whicli the Elixir seems to have been
gathered. But we will not undertake to describe the
properties of this panacea. It can be tried more easily
than described or imagined.”
Notice from the New Albany (.Ind.) Commercial.
« q’ HB .Jesuits’ Secret We take pleasure in call
ing the attention of our readers to the advertisement of
the above named medicine. We have heard one of the
moat prominent physicians of Louisville speak in high
terms of this preparation; thcre'ore, we have no hesi
tancy in saying that we consider it at least as good, if
not the best medicine for Scrofula, Rheumatism, and
kindred afflictions, which has yet been offered to the
public. It is not a quack medicine, but a prescription
inch as the most learned physicians give to their pa
tent,.!! jan2fl-tuthsa*c«m
