Here and There in Advertising"
After years of incessant labor, a mer
chant of New York, who shall here be
nameless, found himself just where he
began twenty years ago, without a dol
lar he did not owe. Seated at his desk
oue morning, poring over bills and. other
unsatisfactory documents, he asked him
self for the hundreth time, how it hap
pened that his neighbors were nourish
ing, while he stagnated, and found it a
hard matter to hold his own.
He said to himself, “I work twice as
hard ns they do; I am honest and prompt
in all my dealings, and still I do not
make headway. There’s my family
growing up, and my eldest boy now in
the firm, and lie must have, what I fear
—unless I make better sales this season
—I shall find it very hard to give him.
a fair portion of the profits. What’s to
be done?”
As he asked himself this question, a
respectable looking young man, with a
book under his arm, entered his office,
stood before him, and immediately ad
dressed him with a polite “good morn
ing,” which salutation the merchant as
courteously returned.
“ I have called on a little mutter of
business, sir.”
“Yes, sir,” said the merchant pleas
antly.
lie hoped he was about to receive an
order for some of his goods.
“If you are advertising now, I should
like to receive your order.” *
The frown returned to the merchant’s
face, and he turned from his visitor
with:
“I am not advertising, sir, and do not
intend to.”
“You could not choose a better medi
um than the firm I represent, sir.”
“Times are bad, young man.”
“The more reason that you should en
deavor to stimulate trade.”
“I don’t believe in it, sir.”
“ That is strange.”
“Never advertised in my life.”
“ Stranger still,” thought the young
man, as he quietly took his leave.
As he passed the outer door he said,
half aloud :
“You won’t last long, old gentleman,
if you don’t advertise.”
A gentleman with a care-worn look on
his face, who stood in the door-way as
he passed, happened to overhear the re
mark. Walking into the office ho ask
ofl • ' * ... I
“ Who was your visitor, uxtlier i
“ One of those troublesome advertis
ing agents. All nonsense throwing away
one’s money in that way. We’ve none
to spare.”
“Any orders this morning ?”
“No,” said the old gentleman with a
sigh, “ and yet that last lot of gmls is
splendid L suppose they’ll be on our
hands next season.”
The sen answered not a word, but
went to liis desk and examined his pri
vate bank account.
Presently he said : “It isn't much,
but fii do it,” then taking up his hat lie
left the office.
About a week afterwards the old mer
chant sat as usual, at his desu, more
than ever discouraged and anxious.
“If I could only get rid of that lot of
goods,” lie said to himself, “I should be
saved; as it is we are ruined. I’ve
written to all my customers, but they’re
all supplied. I ought to have realized
fifteen thousand dollars, easily. It’s ter
rible, terrible 1”
The office boy entered just then, with
letters from the postoffice. lie opened
them, one after an other, and groaned
over their contents. There was one more
left. He opened it and read :
Gentlemen :
Please send us a sample of your cloth.
If approved we will take the lot at your
figures. Respect fully,
G. O. A. Head & Cos.
“Bless us,” said the old gentleman, in
surprise, “I never done business with
those people. But they are as good as
gold. How did they know Ive the
goods they want ? Well, thank Heaven,
we arc saved from ruin.
When his son came in, lie found bis
respected progenitor trying a j-as scale.
“ All right, my son, we’re saved-
Here, read this letter. Hallo, I’ve over
looked the postscript. What’s that ?
‘We saw your advertisement in the
Daily Babbler.’ Why, why it’s a mis
take.” and his countenance fell.
“It’s no mistake, father,” said his son,
joyfully.
“ But I never advertised in my life.”
“ I did. though.”
“ You ?”
“ Yes; I sent three hundred dollars to
Rowell & Cos., and here’s the result. A
pretty good investment, eh ; ’
The samples were ail right, the goods
sent, and the money paid. The junior
member of that firm has serious thoughts
of getting a straight jacket for the old
gentleman, for he’s nearly gone mad on
advertising ; and he possibly would stop
him, only—it fays! A Barnes.
The Ilawkinsville Dispatch gives an
account of a very exciting revival which
recently took place in one of the negro
churches in that place, during which a
half fanatic female member of the con

STATE HOAD PLUNDERINGS.
Arrest of N..l\ Hotchkiss, Late
Auditor of the Road—Prelimi
nary Examination before Judge
Units-—Astounding Develop -
meats of Rascality.
Night before last Rev. N. P. Hotch
kiss, late Auditor of the State Road,
was arrested on a warrant issued at the
instance of Mr. McOalla, principal book
keeper of the State Road, who has been
assisting in tho work of ferreting out
and exposing the rascality which has so
long been going on. Yesterday he was
brought before Judge Butts fora pre
liminary examination, which was not
concluded last evening, and will be con
tinued to-day. This examination will
probably last for several days, and we
think it likely that he will yet be ar
rested on several other Warrants, charg
ing distinct frauds upon the State at sev
eral times.
it we have been rightly informed the
charge is that lie has audited, or pro
cured the auditing and payment of un
just or fraudulent bills against tlie State
Road, the proceeds of which he shared
or pocketed.
An illustrative of tho beauties of
Radical integrity, we may state that
Hotchkiss came here from Walton coun
ty, at the beginning of Bullock’s ad
ministration, when the old faithful offi
cers were turned out, and the hungry
cormorants with nothing but Radical
proclivities, (these proclivities are insig
nificant—as unerringly tending to pec
ulation as a flesh fly is to detect taint)
to recommend them. Hotchkiss was a
rampant Radical and got himself snugly
ensconced in a berth affording fine op
portunities for pickings upon the State
Rond carcass, while the crowd of Radi
cal jackals all around him were savagely
plunging their teeth and claws and gnaw
ing into the vitals of the body, lie
was worth but little m the way of prop
erty —perhaps nothing, or worse than
nothing. We have been told that he
had just passed through bankruptcy.—
Now he owns a number of houses and a
large amount of valuable -property in
this city, JVqnqtJie yentiilof which he is
possible for him to have made all this
out of his salary as Auditor, and sup
port his family.
During the investigation yesterday,
which took a wide range, the merchant
alluded to by us as having been arrested
at the instance of Foster Blodgett, was
in the court room, and his testimony
taken. lie openly and manfully admit
ted the part he had acted in the matter
—very much to his credit after what he
had done, and every one of. the vast
throng was moved wish pity rather than
indignation. It appeared that long ago
he had endeavored to restore the money
to the State which he had wrongfully
obtained, and though the restitution
had not actually been consummated, yet
it was virtually done, as it was set aside
and held ready for that purpose by him,
and kept in his hands only by tho ad
vice of those who have been frying to
bring all things to light. Yesterday in
the court room he paid over to the prop
er officer about $l,O0 —restoring accu
rately every cent he had obtained, taking
a receipt for the same. His testimony
explains itself.
It had been arranged that about $35,-
000 of the funds thus appropriated was
to be restored yesterday, the SI,OOO
above alluded to being a part of it.—
The unexpected arrest of Fry and his es
cape with 'the bulk of this amount has
prevented the restoration of any except
the $4,000.
Wo understand that Foster Blodgett
will have a card in one of the city pa
pers this morning in vindication of him
self, asserting his inaceence, &c. W e
will not try to pre-judge his case, or de
cide upon his guilt or innocence before
trial, but we imagine it will require
much stronger and more positive proof
than any man can produce, to convince
our people that ho knew nothing oi tne
peculations which were going on, when
he was failing to pay over to the State
Treasury fifty or sixty thousand dollars
every month, which he could easily have
done, apd should have done.
From the evidence published in an
other column, the astounding, fact ap
pears that the principal officers of the
road under Bullock and Blodgett have
been kept regularly in office on salaries
ever since the road was placed m the
hands of the lessees. Why has Gov.
Bullock done this ?
And why did he retain Foster Blodgett
and aU the other officials in charge of
the State Road a single day after they
failed the first time to pay the surplus
earnings of the road into the Treasury?
Did he not know the money oi the peo
ple of G eorgia was being- appropriated ?
Was not this misapplication of the pub
lic money done with his sanction ?
Did he not share a portion of it ? All
thoughts lise up in the mind.
In connection with this matter, we
lime annex a list of the payments made
to IX O. Hoyt during the past year.—
He was in the employ of the
Road, in some capacity, we know
not what- It will be seen that from
January to December, he was paid the
enormous sum of $15,538.43. Wc have,
at present, no means of knowing what
these heavy payments were made for.
They may be right, and they may not.
It seems to be commonly understood
that he, like Hotchkiss, was poor when
| lie first entered the service oi the Road;
now he is a banker in tint city, and rc
garded as quite wealthy. Here is the
list—the dates and amounts onlv
given:

opportunity to do so has been offered to

Examination of N. P. Hotchkiss.
GEOItGF. BURNETT,
Sworn.—Examined by E. P. Howell.
Examine these bills.
Witness —These bills have been paid,
signed N. P. Hotchkiss, Auditor, $5,-
945 40. I had a conversation with
Judge Hotchkiss about this or a si mi
lar bill, a bill of the same amount that
we spoke about. The bill he spoke
to me about was paid to Alexander.—
I stated to Judge Hotchkiss that
Mr. Alexander had stated that he
(Judge Hotchkiss) had received a por
tion of the money, I think SBOO. I
asked him if he would not see Alexan
der about it. lie said he would not;
he should not pay any attention to it.—
During the conversation he said he had
get 8800, and bad given half of it to
McCalia, SIOO or half of it. I never
talked much to Alexander about it.—
The bill was between four and five thou
sand dollars. I think that is all that
passed between'us at that time.. Ido
not know that he stated what he received
the money for. That conversation was
about two months ago. Nothing was
said about the time at which the money
was paid. It was some time previous
to the conversation. Mr. Hotchkiss
acted as Auditor of the State Road du
ring 1870, and previous. I think that
is his signature on that bill, lie was
acting as Auditor .at that time. I do
noAknow if these articles have been re
edfd by the road. I think this is
H *6l kiss’ name (on draught).
tlitnimtiie conversation' auouT’ «.*»E
months ago. I was employed as Gen
eral Agent of the road. My business
was to look after such matters as I was
directed to do by my superior officers.
If I saw anything necessary to be done
I was to see to it. I received a salary.
I left the road on the first of January
after the road was leased. The conver
sation I have spoken of was at the Sas
soon House, about the 15th of June. —
McCalia was not present at the conver
sation.
Question —How came you to talk
about this matter?
Ans. —I don’t remember how I came
to go to that room. Mr. Hotchkiss and
Mr. McCalla were in the room. I had
nothing to do with the matter.
Question —How came you to go there ?
Ans. —I had heard about it from Mr.
Alexander, and Mr. Blodgett, and Mr.
Fry, and, probably, other parties. Ido
not remember now why I went there.
There were only myself and Mr. Hotch
kiss together when we came down stairs.
I did not hear McCalla say anything
about it. I have forgotten what conver
sation took place between McCalla and
Hotchkiss at that time. I don’t re
member anything else said by Hotch
kiss at that time. I do not know how
many accounts Alexander had with the
road. This [examining a bill] is a bill
of goods sold. Alexander had only one
account, but several bills. At first I
rather think he denied receiving the
SBOO. I don’t remember what he did
say, whether he actually denied it or
not! I asked him if he was not going
to look into it, and suggested the pro
priety of so doing, if he was innocent.
He had very little to say about it.
That was not the Post-office matter. —
That occurred afterward, when I men
tioned to him that something had been
said about his collecting Post-office
money. That conversation was proba
bly a week afterward. Judge Hotch
kiss wrote me a letter about the matter.
Ido not remember all that Hotchkiss
said iu that conversation He wrote me
a letter about a week afterward, stating
that I was mistaken about the matter.
The letter was not mailed to me the
next day after. It was directed to the
city of Atlanta. Hotchkiss resided at
Marietta at that time, and resides there
now. I talked with McCalla that day.
I mentioned to him what Hotchkiss had
stated to me. Ido hot remember whether
it was the next day or the day bat
one after that McCalla wrote to Hotch
kiss, and Hotchkiss wrote to me. —
McCalla did not deny receiving any
money. McCalla said that Hotchkiss
had received money, and that he gave a
receipt for it. McCalla said he knew
nothing about the Alexander account,
bit supposed that the money which
Hotchkiss gave him was what he had
collected ou other transactions. I took
ray meals at the Sasseen House at that
time; Hotchkiss did not; McCalla
boarded there.
Question. —Yfhy did you go up there ?
Ans. —I was sent there to find out.
I am not certain which of the two I
talked to —Hotchkiss or McCalla.
Question. —Whom did you tell about
I this conversation ?
Ans. —-I might have mentioned it a
| few days afterward to
Atw.—Since that time I have talked
about it, I think, to
COL. BLODGETT,
and I don’t remember who else. Mv
object was to have Hotchkiss set right
I did not advise him. 1 had no other
motive. Hotchkiss is no relation of
mine Yfle were together on the rail
road a long time. Our conversation at
the Sasseen House was not about the
post office money. I don’t know how I
came to be summoned as a witness.—
McCalia told me yesterday h$ was going
to have Hotchkiss arrested. I went
with McCalia when the warrant was is
sued. It was about half past eight
o’clock last night when the warrant was
issued.
Redirect.—Ho toll k iss
DID NOT MENTION THE $5,000.
I do not know that he denied or
owned to receiving the SBOO. I don’t
think he said what lie got it for. J
: don’t know that Blodgett got aiiy of it.
Hotchkiss said he had nothing to do
with the Alexander claim.
Re-cross Examination.—l never of
fered to settle with Alexander if he
would pay me $2,000, nor if lie would
pay me a certain sum of money. I got
none. Don’t know that Blodgett got
any. What I know is from hearsay.
MR. MCCALLA.
Sworn—This account (examining sev
eral presented him by counsel) was re
ported by me in the passbook of tho
State Road as “ disbursement.” It is
presumed to have been paid. Was re
ceipted. I record them monthly, as
Judge Hotchkiss supplies them. 1 was
general hook keeper of tho Road, sup
plied these things to be recorded in the
passbook, and go to (Me credit of the
Treasurer. I first got this from Hotch
kiss for the purpose of recording in the
passbook
AS SOMETHING ALREADY PAID*OUT.
Hotchkiss' name was on it when I
got it. I entered it in the book. I
don’t know that he ever told me that
TIIE ACCOUNT WAS BOGUS.
I have spoken to him about its being
bogus, and he never denied it. I mean
by bogus that the goods were never sup
plied to the Road. I had a conversa
tion with Hotchkiss in my room in the
Sasseen House. Showed him these pa
pers and told what I understood from
othc'- parties. I said I understood it
HOTCHKISS RECEIVED PART OF TIIE
MONEY,
He denied it to me justi then and said
he knew nothing about it. Couldn t re
collect anything about it, and said many
things were done that he was not to
blame for. lie seemed disposed to shove
the responsibility of irregularities on
other people. He denied to me that he
got the SBOO in my room at that time.
Once Hotchkiss brought to my office
a pile of passes and papers, which he
wished me to record as he read them
over, without me seeing the inside of
the papers at all. This excited my sus
picion. Finally he letfc them. Ilqs
particular paper (the cite in hand) is
not one of that particular batch. —
Hotchkiss and Barnett were at the door.
In the afternoon I wrote to Hotchkiss
in reference to reports. Ire answered.
He never paid mo S4OO out oi these
bills. lie paid me $l5O and $250 for
which he holds my due bill. I gave
him credit on my regular cash account
for it. Had authority for so doing.
The salaries of the Superintendent,
Treasurer and Supervisor has been go
ing on sines the lease. . SOME OF MY
BOOKS HAVE BEEN ABSTRACTED. no
regular pass-book is abstracted, a. ex
ercise control over it; don t know \sho
took it; it disappeared this morning
about the time I was up here. M hen I
came out of the room I locked the case
in which it was. I left the room door
open, as there was a gentleman in. -
When I got back the ease was open and
the book "gone. Don’t know of my own
knowledge who got the money. I know
of a settlement in which some was re
stored; it was restored by Mr. Alexan
der. $3,950 was the amount restored
A number of bills, accompanied by a
draft from Mr. Hotchkiss for hardware
from a New York firm, was presented .o
witness for examination, Jjlis for much
the same articles, amounting to the same
sum, were presented by Alexander.
There is a probability that it is ail the
same transaction.
MR. ALEXANDER,
Sworn. —The Western & Atlantic
Railroad brought goods from us through
Mr. Fry. He was anxious to get money,
and he suggested to me he could do it
in a way that was going on all the time ]
A GENERAL SYSTEM OF MONEY MAKING j
on the State Road. Ho then furnished j
me these items and saiu
Objected to. *
Fry furnished me a list of these jroods
and 1 put them in my bills as purchases
by the State Road. I presented the bill
to Hotchkiss. He said he couldn't pay
it then but gave me an acceptance of
thirty days. When the time of pay
ment came the road had passed into oth
er hands. Hotchkiss made no objection
to me. My opinion is that Fry got the
money. Hotchkiss audited the account
when I presented it. Hotchkiss signed
the draft. Date of account and draft
arc the same.
Question —M hat do you know’ oi
these other accounts ?
Answer. —Am I obliged to answer
that question ?
Court —Net if it criminates you.
Witness —Don’t know whether it will
criminate me or not. The fact is, Mr.
