THE PUBLIC DEBT.

But, fellow citizens, you have a
right to know what has been done with
the surplus of receipts over eXpendI-

know that from the inauguration OF
General Grant to the first day of the
present month, the principal of the
public debt has been paid and cancel
ed to the extent of one sixteenth of It's

has been reduced by the sum OF at least
eight and half millions.

Earthquake Waves in the Pacific,

Prof. Hochstetter has lately publish ed an investigation of the phenomena presented by the great wave of the Pa clfic consequent upon the earthquake of the 18th of August, 1868. off the coast of Peru. This wave was propa- gated with varying velocity, until it passed over the entire extent of the ocean; and the rate of it's motion. CT the time occupied in passing over a given space, has been used by profes- sor HOchstetter as a measuIe for de- termining the average depth of the sea in different localities since the speed was more rapid where the depth of the ocean was the greater, and retarded where the bed of the sea was compara- lively shallow.
 This wave reached the Sandwich Islands in about seven hours the Mar queSas Tn a little less than that time New Zealand in about eleven hours and Australia in about thirteen. Itwas found that the line of greatest depth lay beween Africa and the Sandwich Islands, its mean being about twenty five hundred fathoms while from Afr ca to New Zealand the depth is but little more than half that amount.
 4 somewhat similar investigation was made many years ago by Prcfes- sor Bache, based upon the time occupied in the passage of an earth quake wave from Japan to the coast of California, the result being an estimate of an average depth of nearly twenty fPat by.5 hassis.s sfaassa2s. .1 sr--4o s's 4-o

WALTHAM WAIGHES

THE extensive Use of these watches for the last fifteen years by Railway Conductors, | Engineers, and ExpreSsmen, the most exact ing of watch-wearers, has tborougly demon strated tbe strength, SteadinesS, durability and accuracy of the Waltham Watch. To 1 satisfy that class in all these respects, is to decide the question as to the real value of these time-AeeperS.
 More than 45O,OOO of these watches are now speaking for themselves in the pockets of the people-a proof and guaran- tee of their superiority over all others.
 The superior organization and great extent of the COmpanyS Works at Waitnam, enable them to produce watches at price which renders competition futile and those who buy any other watch merely pay from 25 to 50 per cent. more for their watches than is necessary.
 We are now selling Waltham Watches at less prices Ill greenbackS, than the gold prices before the war. There is no other l manufacture of any kind in the United States of which this can be said.
 These t,me-pieces combine every improve ment that long experience has proved of real practical use. Having had the refusal of nearly every invention in matchmaking originating in this country or in Europe, only those were finally adopted which severe taSt- ing by the most skillfu artisans in our works, and long use on the part of the public, de- mOnstrated to be essential to correct and en- during time-keeping.
 Among the many improvements we would particlarize
 The invention and use of centre -pinion of | peculiar construction, to prvent damage to the train by the breakage of main springs, is original with the American watch Company who, having had the refusal of all other ! contrivances, adopted Fogg'S Patent pinion as being the best and faultless. Hardened and tempered hair springs, now universally admitted by watchmakers to be the best, are used in all grades of Waltham Watches
 All Waltham Watches havo dust-proof cans nr...a- t.-o onc nioyement from dust and leSSenlng the necessity of theirequens .'''''''- ing necessary {ssee. ip a.A' s'se-vinter or kevless watch, is already decided success and a great improvement on any stem-winder watch in the American market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quality now offered to the United States where watchmakers do net abound watches with the above mentioned improvements which tend to insure accuracy cleaulinessS, durability and convenience must prove invaluable.
 Every watch guaranteed by the Company.

MS ELL AN E Q U $
CONFEDERATE WAR LOSSES.

At meeting of the "Confederate Relic and Historical Society,"" held in Memphis few days ago, Dr. Avent read communication from the Con- federate army, which contained the following statistics:
 Year Killed Wouned. Prisoners. 1961- 1915 4,O44 2,712 1862 Is ,5e2 68,659 49, ,3OO 1863.- -11,876 15,324 71,211 lsSs. isS5.. ....... ......... }sa,ooo 10000 ss,ooo
 53,773 194,O26 2O2,283
 To this was added an estimate of the deaths from disease in the Confederate army, based upon the returns of the field and general hospitals for 1S61-62, making the total 16O,0O0 exclusive of the deaths in the northern prisons, which would swell the number to near 1S5,O00; and if the deaths among the discharged for wounds and disease, and among the sick and wounded on furlough, be added, the grand total of deaths in the Confederate army during the entire war, appears to the writer of the paper in question to have been about 100000. As to the number of the army which suffered this loss, he says: "The available Confederate force ca pable of active service, did not. during the entire war, exceed G00,00O men, Of this number, not more than 4OO,OOO field more than 100000 men capable ef bearing arms at any one time, ex- elusive of sick, wounded disabled.n

OFFICE OF TIE ATTORNEY GENERAL, J
Columbia, S. G., August Is, 1870.
Il. AZ folycr, Esq, Tyih Justice, Pichcas.
0We, S. e.:
DEAR SIR: [ have received your commu.
nlcation of the 9th inst, making the following
inquiries:
First Is jury allowed under the present
laws III civil causes before trial justice if
demanded by either plaintiff or defendant?
Second. Is any provision made for trial
justice to receive pay for issuing summons
for juror in sucL.cases, and the constable
for serving tic samc2
Third. If so, what is tho pay of cnoh?
Replyng to your first inquiry, l have the
honor to say that an examination of all the
Acts of Assembly relating to trial Justices
leads me to the conclusion that nc power is
conferred on those officers to summon iurv
in civil cases.
The Jurisdiction ana powers of trial Justices
are conferred and embraced by the Act cnti-
tied AN Act to define the criminal jurisdic-
tio" of Trial Justices" passed March l, 1870,
and by Title Y, Part l, of the Code.
The former Act relates exclusively to the
criminal jurisdiction and powers of those Off
GERS and the tho i4ter exclusively to the civil
Examins'thsse Acts, you will find that the
former Act, Section 10, clothes trial justices
win II the power to summon jury, on demand
OF any party charged with an offence within
| apl
reference to the Magistrates Act of septcm-
Der "a, 1868, for the mode of its selection.
Examining Title " Part l, of the Code,
you will, [ think, find no intmation of Jury,
n'uch less any provision for obtaining one.
i am aware that Section ] | Of the "Act to
define the criminal jurisdiction of trial jus.
tices' is regarded by, some as authoring the
summoning jury in OWL cases, but am
clear thai tlte:saja Section gsfessssonly to tho
criminal jagjsS| PM as exgEsgscd in the title
OF the Nalsf agly reject the
inforeau fSfa fiat Section 81 power to sum
mon jury In civil cases.
Such being my answer to your first inquiry,
your other inquiries are virtually and sufi-
ciently answered. have only to say further
that the absence of any provision of the law
for compensation for issuing and serving tho
summons of jury in such cases, is nm addi-
tional and strong argument in support Of tho
opinion herein before expressed
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
