TO THE PUBLIC.

N yesterdays issue of the Ph9niJ, ap-
! Il peared card@'sTo The Travelling Pub
lie" by one P: F. Frazee, who has recently
purchased with the promise of paying for
the same) the stables of the late William
Hitchc cock-said card containing language
which he may consider very injurious to
my fathers business; but for fear that the
combination of tdtsehoods published by
this mlschlevous and insolent libeller may
be seen by some who are unacquainted
with my fathers character, will, in con-
slderatlon thereof, reply to the radical.
His entire card is q base falsehood, and
the author has not only uttered an un-
truth, but he knows it to be untrue, and
he Is devoid OF all principle-which he has
proven by, taking this opportunity, dur
ing IN my fathers 1! absence, in issuing such a
base and ibellous card. I, as his son,
takeiupon myself the responsibility of re-
plying to his false printed libel.
Let the public ask: Who is FraZee, and
who are his ready and willing witnesses?
and then they will find out his vile accom-
plices. This libeller gives this as his rea-
son for troubling the public: Because Mr..
r. Joyner (my fatherj has made the mat
ter political issue. NY reason is simply
because FraZee and his unbleached col
leagues have lied. I am personally re-
sponsible for the above, and desire the
public to know that am running the only
Democratic line of hacks in this city, and

In charge National Stables.
The following notice. taken from the
New York Day Book, of June 27, will at
once establish the reputation of p +.
Frazee, which reads as follows
up. +. FraZee, Northerner by birth,
Columbian by residence for q number of
years previous to the war, carriage MAX
er by trade, and the patron saint of the
baudy houses Of Columbia, who, week or
two before the election, carried notorious
prostitute of this city to place of public
amusement; and, not content with a retired
position, carried her forward to a front
seat and sat hesidc her during The per-
formance. He lost, by the burning of Co.
lumbia, as is said by respectable parties
here, from $4,000 to SIS, 900 worth of pro-
perty, for which he has a claim pending
against the Government sworn to amount
to about s142 ,000.'
This will show the character of this man
who is willing aud ready to swear to any,
thing, and who is fit subject to claim the
patronage of the public generally.

BONDS OF STATE OFFICERS AND DE-
PosTToRY FOR STATE FUNDS.
In order to guard the State against
loss, by defalcations or otherwise, 1
earnestly recommend that all officers
who are charged with the custody of
public funds shall be required to
give ample bonds and security for
the safe keeping or faithful disburse-
ment of the same. L also recommend
that a responsible bank shall be
designated, as depository for the
funds of the State; and that authori-
ty should be vested in the Governor,
and two private citizens, to be Sc
lected by the General Assembly, or
otherwise, to demand from the State
Treasurer, at any time, an exhibit of
his books, and all public moneys for
which he may be accountable-this
inspection to be made at least once
in each quarter.

gage the attention of the legislator

Cornelius Vanderbilt and his Wife.
The New York Sun says


Somewhere abont sixty years ago
Cornelius Vanderbilt commenced
life BY running q "perianger" be-
| tween Staten Island aud New York.
During the day he piled his vocation,
and whenever his duties permitted,
visited his cousin Miss Sophie john
son, then young and comedy girl OF
sixteen, who also lived on the island.
Perhaps it was the outbarst of his
first love that made the young sail
or so ambitious, ond inspired him
with the energy and enterprise he
has always exhibited Certain it is,
however, that the cousins married,
and old folks who knew them then
speak with delight of the handsome
pair for they were admitted to be
The comeliest couple Staten Island
ever produced,
1t is unnecessary to trace the Com
modore from the time he was fer
ryman until he was promoted, or
more properly, promoted himself, to
the responsible position of captain Of
steamboat which piled between
this port and New Brunswick, n. j.
At the latter place, however he was
proprietor of q hotel, at which pas.
sengers from New Hork to Philadel-
phia used to take meas and occasion.
ALLY nights rest. TWAS a kind Of
halfway house. His wife superin~
tended the hotel while be was en-
gagged in aquatic vocation. One
evening he arrived from New York,
and while he was sitting At the sup-
per table, said to his wife

The tablet, with the deceased per-
sons name carved upon it in figures :
resembling Chinese characters, is pre-
pared during the owners life time;
after death the priest gives an addi> !

on the sisak, or tablet. The funerai -
generally takes place an hour or two e
before sunset. The body is placed in s

of powdered charcoal with some lime
are placed within, the antiscptic and

stances have been made use of for

side is smoothly plastered with mor-
lar and a superior kind of lime; the
coffin is deposited within, slabs Of
stone are placed across, and a temp
orary wooden structure is erected
over l.. At the end Of fifty days, the

NEEDLEs,-Needles were first made
in London by a negro from Spain, in
the reign Of Queen Mary. He died
without imparting the secret OF his
art. The ART was recovered in 1865.
Elias Growse first taught the English
to make needles, but the art was
again recovered by Christopher
Greening, who settled at Long Cree
den, in Buckinghamshire. Needles
are now chiefly made at Redditch, in
orcheste shire, Hathersage, in Der
byshire, ii in and near Birming-
ham.
