Was Mr.. Sparrow a Borrower
from Gibson the Defaulter?

We have been asked by several per-
sons, whether Mr.. Sparrow, the Treas
ury examiner appointed by Gov. Chase
was not himself a heavy borrower of the
public money during Gibson's term as
State Treasurer. We are unable to
give any further information on this
point than is to be found on pages seven
teen and eighteen, of the report made
by the Finance Investigation Committee
to the Black Republican Legislature in
January last. On reference to these
pages, it will be found that the State
Treasurer had at that date, in his pos
session, the unapproved bond of bartlett
and Smith, with Thomas Sparrow as
security, for the sum of fifty thousand
dollars, and that on this bond, the said
firm had on the 18th day Of December
last, public money to the amount of
ONE HUNDRED AND SEW
ENTY--ONE THOUSAND DOL
LARS These men are a wild cat bank
ing firm that do buissiness in she city of
columbus. Trey are unmitigated
sharks as we'll as shavers, and have been
the chief operators within a few years
past in putting out the notes of several
DoHhAbS eAOH HHOSO 10
pers has subsequently rotted in the
hands of the people. Wehavc no means of
knowing whether Mr.. Sparrow had any
pecuniary interest in the Treasury loans
obtained by these men from Gibson
Without an interest of some sort, we are
at a loss how to account for the relation
which the Republican Investigating COM
mit!ee have shown he sustains to Gibson
as erdorser for the piraticai establish
;ment which has been using the money
of the Treasury to shave the creditors Of
the State and start bogus banks.
Query. Does any body know gheth-
er the loan of one hundred and seventy
one thousands dollars held by Bartlett
and Smith, on the 18th day of December
last, for which Mr.. Sparrow was endor-
ser has yet been paid Might it not be

nor endorser ?-NeUaTk Adrocate.

VIII the State be a Loser?

> Will d state De a AoSef
Such is the question every hour asked
concerning the failure of the Ohio Trust
Company. Upon this point, the Ohio
Statesman says
Through the shameful negligence of
the State officers and the overweening
confidence of the whole Republican par
sty in the broken bank, the probability is,
ksthat an enormous sum has been lost to
the State at one fell sRoop. The first
8Bartiele in the creed of the Black repub-
1icans was that the Trust Company was
built upon immutable foundations
Hence the notion, that the State funds
were safer in that concern without secu-
rity, than any where else with it. The
financial servants of the State, now IN
power, know nothing as to the balance
xGoving by the Trust Company, and can
explain nothing. The transition from
TIGibson's legerdemain and wonderfully
adroit manipulations to tones yretched
4srimpotence is complete. 1fthe Legisla--
tive Committee was here now to go to
the Treasury and ask What was the state
= Sof accounts between Ohio and the bro
ken bank, they would be confronted
with a stoney stare of helpless ignorance
and imbecility.
- All TINS proves Too, the Vaiue OF tue
recent Investigations. There has been
SKI no investigation that can be relied on in
the slightest degree. The opinions of
z men as to what took place years ago. who
know nothing about transactions of yes
isa5 terday, in which they were actors, are
Ssea worse than worthless. The Committee
is like the ancient nlchemists, who claim
ia ed to be able to transmute lead or iron
into the precious metals, and starved for
sI want of a crown to buy a dinner.

DR.. RoBAcK-Sir,-The last three bottles o
your Blood Purifier and the accompanying,
Pills, have relieved me of the last vestige of
my rheumatism. l consider the cure ali but
miraculous. after having Suffered the most
acute agony, almost without ihterthission, for
eight years, and being for three yeats a cripple
1 can scarcely realize the fact that at this mo
ment, after having used your Scandinavian
Remedies for only three months and a few days.
] am a hale, hearty man, capable of manual
labor. and entirely free from pain. When /,
first applied to you, by letter, for a supply of
your medicines, l was little better than q an.
natical skeleton. For more than two years I
had never enjoyed one hour of unbroken night
rest, and my mind sinking with my body, had
become greatly enfeebled, the very first bottle
of the Purifier wrought a surprising change for
the better in my system, and after taking that
wonderful restorative, together with the Blood
Pills, for one month, / felt that a complete re-
generation of every animal function was in.
progress. l was not deceived. / am now, at
81 years CT age. as free from every symptom of
rheumatism as 1 was at 20. There can be no
doubt that this wonderful cure is due to your
remedies alone, and L am willing, if it will
serve you or induce others to seek relief from
the sames source, that this letter should be maed
public. ss7at
