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!

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 gregation raised her voice to the high est pitch : “Calliue hold my shawl and bonnet till I beat my sides and sh ut glory ! glory !” The last heard of the iufiinitoTy happy creature, Hie was Plant ing and sobbing in heart broken tones.

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: January No. 7 warrant paid f, 2.000 00 “ “ 13 “ “ 21,7.15 :>3 “ ”71 “ “ 1,701 S7 February “3 “ “ 5,( 00 00 “ “ 72 “ “ 15,681 40 March “ 6 “ “ 10,< 63 so “ “2? “ “ 5,85.1 55 “ “32 “ “ 21,8*6 65 April “]uS “ “ 12,098 21 May “ 75 “ “ !30220 01 August “ 24 “ “ 26 893 75 October “10 “ “ 1.497 29 “ “GO “ “... 31,503 96 November “43 “ “ 2,950 35 December" 1 “ “ !2 4‘>7 00 “ “39 “ “ 553 15 Total $181,598 46. We will only add that ibis list lias never before been published, though the opportunity to do so has been offered to oue of our city cotemporaries. From the Atlanta Sun. 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. Fry represented to me that it had n 4 been paid, and asked me to put in-a I'd; i before tire Committee, and he c >u!u col- Xl°V*’ at bis suggetmn §5.955 WAS PAID TWICK, My impression is that draft was paid i'hcse p.'spers are ail in the same hand writing all made out by the same man Don’t know whether Blodgett or Mu!- ien signed these papers or not.
