We noted the fact, yesterday, that Register
Barnes, of Baltimore, sets down the liabilities
Of that city at twenty-five millions Of dollars.
The Baltimore Sun calls attention, however, to
the little "set of" of assets, the most OF them
yielding proper revenue amounting to S2l,-
95sT2.
We certainly had no intention OF using the
item in any sense disparagingly to the credit of
Baltimore, for we consider that city to-day As
having the soundest and broadest foundations
for permanent growth and business prosperity,
perhaps, Of any city in the country; and even if
her Indebtedness, incurred in laying this salts
factory base, were not Offset by revenue-yieldng
assets, we should hold it as an excellent invest
mfnt

We did injustice to the race of Cockneys BY
the implication in yesterdays paper that the
Secretary of the Peabody Trustees belongs to
that family. 1t seems he is only an aspiring
Boston imitation of the article,-the weakest
and most offensive of the whole class of fiunkeys
An esteemed friend, in correcting the error
into which our reporter fell, expresses the opin-
ion that We were too severe on the self-important
parsonage. We think not. Whether their pro-
ceedlngs shall be given to the public or not, is
fairly asubject for consideration by the trustees
but when IL has been decided that they shall or
may be published, for their subordinate to dis
criminate between newspapers in the matter of
furnishing information in which the public is
interested, is piece of supercilious insolence
for which there is no excuse, and which demon
strates that he is totally unit for his position
1t needs a man of broader views, more indus
rious habits, and better breeding.

The effect of the Supreme Court decision on
legal tenders has been very slight, az was ex-
Pected Many parties who have been receiving
currency interest on contracts prior to 1862 will
not find it for their interest and SO are not dis
posed to insist on the payment of gold hence
forth The New York savings banks profess to
hold but few mortgages back Of 1862 and will
not demand gold even ON those. The life insur-
ance companies have also decided to accent chr
rency. Some are disposed to question whether

up the payment of gold interest in her Legisla-
ture. Unfortunately the mover was a heavy
owner of Missouri bonds and the House thought
IL proper to snub his rather forward attempt to
bull the quotations. The State treasury is full
however. and the sentiment OF the press and I'M

Now that the Mississippi and Virginia entan-
clements have been settled, Congress will have
yet more troublesome muddle to deal with in
the case of Georgia. OF the Senators chosen
Tuesday, Foster Blodgett, a well-known poll
tcian, is elected for the term ending in 1877:
Col D. p Farrow, the present Attorney Gen
eral OF the State, for the term expiring IN 1873,
Joshua Hill claiming an election for the same
term; and Mr.. Whitley for the term ending
March 4, 1871, for which DIR. Miller also claims
an election. Mr.. Whitley was the Republican
candidate for Congress in the third district, but
was defeated by his Democratic competitor,
Nelson Tifft. The Democrats in the Legislature
made no nominations for Senators Tuesday,
and refused to vote

The other day we quoted from a significant
article in the London Westminster R;rieso con-
ceding that Mr.. Summers speech on the Claren-
don-Johnson treaty though severe was salutary,
and now We have NJ. Rolin-Jacquemyns OF
Client, one Of the ablest publicists of Europe,
insisting that, in the main point, Mr.. Summer
was right. Mr.. Summers speech was a pretty
bitter astringent following upon the sugary ut

Sometimes, without any assignable cause, the
ply scal strength and animal spirits give way. and
a strange torpor falls alike the body and intel
lect. There is little pain, perhaps, but the
natural vigor and elasticity of the nervous and mus
cular system seems to have departed, and an
indifference to the pleasures of fe and even of its
grave responsibilities takes the place of that earnes
interest in both which characterizes every we'll
balanced mind when in a healthy condition. This
state OF partial collapse is often the premonitory
symptoms of some serious malady. 1t indicates
Enthusiastically that the vital powers are anguish
ing and need stimulant. In such cases the effect
OF few doses of fostetter's Stomach Btters is
wonderfully beneficial. The great tonic wakes
up the system from its browse. The secretisns
AMI the circulation receive a impetus.
The relaxed nerves recover their elasticity under
the operations of the specific, like the slackened
strength Of masical instI ument in the process Of
tuning. Lethargy and debility replaced by
energy and yigor, the spirits rise, and life that al
most seemed burden while the season Of depression
lasted. becomes once more enjoyable. That such
radical change should be produced by remedy en-
tiIely devoid Of the powerful alkaloids and minerals
50 extensively used in modern practice, may setm
incredible to those who pin their faith on the medic
ina efficacy of active poisons but if these skeptics
will take the trouble to enquire of those who have
tested the Corrective and Alternative virtues of the
