A roRcrpLE rLLusrRArIoN.

Here was the Treasurer of Coshocton county
robbed the other day--so he said; he may have
been robbed, or he may not, but 30 he said -
One thing, however, is certain, that as yet no.
body has been iudicially convicted OF having
robbed him Is he was robbed, in point Of
fact, every body knows that the people of Ohio
would not require him to pay the money taken
Of him by force; there was, therefore, no occa-
zion to hurry for the release of this gentleman.
But, Immediately after he was said to have been
robbed, he rushes to the Legislature, and there
he asked his Democratic brethren to release
him and his securities from the penalty OF their
bond. In hot haste, without evidence of any
kind bat these mere statements and his own
words. they release him from that bond.
Fellow citizens, does not that illustrate the
insecurity of this thingl Your Treasurers rep-
resent a party in every county in the State
They have their securities upon their bonds
and these and their party friends are interested
iu befriending and defending them. They have
party friends ia the Legislature, and all they
have to do is to hurry to the Legislature anC
get released. If you wanted anything to dem
onstrate the want of security of what is called
the b.Treasury system, you havO it in this

But il is not only unsafe in this, but in other
respects. There is no provision in this law by
which the sub. b.treasurers are required to give
bonds TO the State for the proper performance
of the duties required of them by what is called
the Sub Treasury act They give bonds to the
County Commissioners, and those bonds are in
the custody of the County Commissioners, ex
amined by no State authority. In this it is
entirely unlike the general Treasury system Of
the United States, and to this extent it is uR-
safe 1t is question among gentlemen learned
in the law, whether these bonds, in many in
stances, are good; whether they obligate the
Treasurer in respect to the particular duties re-
quired by this act II they are not good they
have given no bonds, and there is no security
at all say in both these particulars this sys'
tenn is not only unsafe, but is entirely unlike
the thing after which it has been named.

THE FIG AT THE SoUTH.-Of all the fruits

least care and is one of the most productive

grees, the fig-tree produces three crops year.
commencing in May and bearing until Noyem-
Der, bat in central Georgia we generally
gather but two crops a year unless the season
is peculiarly favorable, the first or early crop
being often killed by spring frosts. The figs
are mostly eaten directly from the tree, as soon
as ripe, and may be found in abundance upon
the breakfast tables of all lovers of fine fruit
The fig-tree grows very freely from cuttings

THE ARREST OF PALMER.--A sort OF fatall-
tv seems to cling to all the criminals connected
with the Harper's Ferry invasion. The Mem
phis Argus gives the following account of the
singular circums tance that led to the arrest OF
Palmer in that city,
A week or two ago gentleman, while seat
ed in railroad car between Baltimore ana
Philadelphia, discovered in the seat behind
him man mufied to the chin, and apparently
desiring as much as possible to shield himself
from observation. As the train neared sta
tion the latter rose to his feet and left the car,
as he did SO, accidentally dropping two letters
and small memorandum on the floor The
gentleman picked them up, and hnding that
one of the letters was sealed and addressed to
John Brown, his suspicious were aroused
The other bore the superscriptlon OF man
named Horner directed to some point in Fir-
ginia, and had been opened Satisfied that this
letter could throw some light on the seeming
mystery, he perused its contents. And Well
they repaid him for his trouble. The letter
stated that an agent of The underground rail
road named Thatcher, had been in Memphis
sometime during the month of August, where
he had become acq uainted with one w. II. Pal
mer. residing here and that the two had an in
terview in the navy-yard. During the inter-
view (tbe letter goes on to say,) Thatcher was
informed by Palmer that whenever Brown
was ready to strike the blow for the freedom
of the slaves, he could promise him any
amount of money from Memphis merchants.
The gentleman then Immediately forwarded
the letter 10 Gov. Wise at Richmond. whose
subsequent action in the matter led to the ar
rest as narrated yesterday.
Palmer has been "a resident of Tennessee for
years aAd married near Memphis.

that the ice ascends the spinal column at the
