On the 6rss Of January 1865 there was

PAYERS of Bedford county to pay their money
into the county Treasury in order that the
lucky Treasurer may have the use Of $4,000
or $4,000 Of their money without interest?
Do the people desire such state Of afairsz
We know thev do not. They are not viii

Treasury for any person to speculate upon.
We bear no III viii to either the past or the
present county Treasurer. on the contrary
they are our personal friends: but we are
friends of the hard working taxpayers
Of the county and when their money is
gathered into the county Treasury it should
be so invested, until used for the purpose
for which it is collected, that the interest Of
it would accrue to the benefit Of the county
and not Of any single individual We have
been advocating the same policy with re
gard to state funds and We believe il Is tho
only true aud honest policy When Stat,
or County is 10 debt and has interest to pay,
the Treasurer never foo;s the bill, neither
should he receive the use Of, or interest on
the public money, that Is honestly due to
the State or County. We believe that a
general law requiring all public officers hav

supplies in designated repositories or 10

best returns to the State, is greatly needed.

The TRAVELLER S FRIENn The Galaxy
seems to be the first to open FIRE on the
abuses which hotel keepers everywhere heap
upon their guests. 1t begins by saying that
1T does not seem as if a guest has any
rights which hotel keeper in the Unitad
States Is bound to respect 1t then speci.
fes the abuses
Nearly all hotels now crafty their visi
tors by announcements that the proprietors
are not responsible for baggage Some add
to this that the proprietorS decline responsi-
bilitY for wearing apparel left in the rooms,
while, IN Chicago and other towns. a furth-
er step Is iStaken, and the proprietorS declare
themselves not responsible if the boots
which the guests leave out TO be cleaned
should happen not to be brought back to
the owners
1t suggests that to cap the climax, the
hotel keeper further announce that they
viii no longer hold themselves responsible
for the furnishing Of the meals or beds and
then perhaps he viii have shirked all the
unpleasant responsibilities Of his position
and reserved the pleasant one Of accepting
pay for all these things at the rate of about
three prices for everything he has declined
the responsibility of furnishing. At this
juneture the guests are prompted to recip-
rocate by declining to be responsible for
glasses broken, meals eaten &c. 4 little
stirring up Of this kind may do good, but
hotel keepers are not very quick at taking
hints, where it don't pay.

A YER'S CATHARTTC PILLS.
FOR pTrRTFVTNG THE RI

II FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD,
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re-
quired by everybody as cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universally adopted into use, in
every country and amolg all classes, as this mild
but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious rea-
son is, that it is a more reliable aud far more eff
feetual remedy than any other Those who have
tried It, know that it cured them those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends
aud ali know that what it does once it does al
ways-that it never fails through any fault OF
neglect Of ITS composition. We have thousands
upon thousands of certificates Of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, but such cures
are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish Them Adapted to all ages and con
ditions in all climates containing neither calo-
mel OF any deleterious drug, they may be taken
with safety by anybody. Then sugar coating
preserves them ever fresh and makes them pleas
ant TO take, while being purely vegetable no harm
can rise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viseera TO purify the blood and simu
late it into healthy action---remove the obstrue-
tions Of the stomach, bowls, liver, and other OF.
gans Of TIE body, restoring their irregular action
TO health and by correcting, wherever they exist,
such arrangements as are the first origin Of dis
ease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which
these PILLS rapidly eure:---
For DYSPEPSIA or INDIGESTION, LIST
LESSA ESS. La Nc UUR and L0SS OF Ape
TITE, they should be taken moderately to stim-
ulate the stomach and restore its healthy tone
and actor.
For LIVER COMPLAINT and Is various
symptoms, BILIOUS HEADACHE, SICK
HEACACHE, JAUNDICE or GREEN SICK
NESS, BILIOUS COLIC 4 BILIOUS FEVERS,
they should be judiei0usly taken TO each case TO
correct the diseased action remove the obstruc-
tions which cause it.
For DTSENTERY or DIARRHGA, but one
mild dose is generally required
For RHEUM MATI-M NJ, GoUT GRAVEL, PAL
PITATION OF THE HEART, PAIN IN TIE
SIDE, BACK and LOINS, they should be con-
tinuously taken, required, TO change the dis
edsed action Of the s. stem. With such change
those complaints disappear
For DkOPSY and DR0PSICAL SWELLINGS
they should be taken in large and frequent doses
to produce the effect Of drastic purge
For SUPPRESSION a large dose should be ia
ken as it produces the desired effect by sympathy
As a DINNER PILL take one or two PILLS
TO promote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often
advantageous where serious arrangement ex-
lists One who feels tolerably well, often finds
that dose Of these Pills makes him feel decided
ly better from their cleansing and renovating ef-
feet on the digestive apparatus

ton Of them which suffered damage by the

claimed is nearly million Of dollars, which
is to be secured by State lean. Forty
seven members voted for the motion to take
up the bill forthwith, which indicate consid-

whether 1t will ever pass, as it is strongly
aud reasonably urged that losses of this
kind should be made good by the general

LEGAL STATUS OF REBELLION. The de-
csion Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States, in The case of the United States vs..
Keeler is an additional declaration against
the pretense that the Government set up
under the rebellion was a 3e facto one
keeler was a United States postmaster
before the war, and owed money to the
Government at the outbreak Of the rebel
lion. This amount he paid over under the
order Of the 50 called Confederate States to
another per-on, and now that be Is sued
for the balance due from him to the Post
Office Department, he endeavors to set up as
a defense that the act was done under the
authority Of the Confederate States. The
Supreme Court declares thar the SO called
authority was no authority; that it had not
the character of 3s .frcto government,
gnd that Mr. Keeler must settle. These
declarations are important IT a contrary
view Of the case had been taken the rebel
lion might have been considered a specula
tion. which, to many, would have made
treason profitable.
