WHAT is DYsPEPsIA?-THE QUESTION SETTLED
Two young medical students were disputtng the
other dav, at the house Of mutual friend, as to the
nature OF dyspepsia. One said the primary cause
was diseased liver; the other insisted that the
disease originated in the ep,gastrum. 81 can tell
you what dyspepsia is, Tor I've been there" OBJ

young medicos 'let's have your opinion" "Dys-

1t may be reasonably objected to these sus
gestons, that the present market pricc of tie
bonds is only G5 per cont, while the culcula
tions made proceed on the basis of 80 pcr
cent for the bonds But it is quite rcasom
bic to expect that upon this exhibition of the
exact condition Of the debt of the State, and
upon the concurrence of his Excclcncy the
Governor, in the general course of arrange
mcnt herein recommended, there will be an
immediate and considerable advance in tho
market value of the bonds, and greatly in.
creased facilities for holding them off .he
market.
Referring now once more to the sum of tho
funded debt, the committee deem it proper IL
state that they had expected to verify the ac
count by the evidences in the Comptrollcr's
office, but they were disappointed.
TIC act Of August 26, 1868, authorizing
an issue of bonds for the payment of tho bills
receivable Of the State, provided that the
bonds should be signed by he Governor and
Treasurer. Subsequent acts followed the
same course In consequence, thcrc is no
record kcptin the Comptrollers oflico. The
preceding statement, under the authority Of
this officer, is derived from tho Treasurer. -
1t is confirmed by the Governor, who united
with the Treasurer, Mr.. Parker, in giving to
the committee every assurance of its correct
ness. And itappears to your committee that
the several issues and sums Of bonds des.
cribed arc of unquestionable legality and forco
aa obligations OF the State. 1t seems proper

This sun, divided by the five periods, gives
an average Of $3.50, ,5SS6l, as the SUN of the
advances, and seven and half months as the
period Of time for which they were madc--
The interest and other charges, as shown in
another part of this report was for twelve
months $9i,177.l2 or $7.014.7S per mouth.
For seven and half months it is $50 800 So,

And To this is yet to be added the agent 8

preston that his average advance was grcutcr

But even iii was 800 600 instead OF $3.50, ;
5SS 81 the interest (withnut his connlission) !
would amount still to the high rate Of 1871
per cent. per annrm.
The loss sustained by the State in this
mode of dealing is obvious, and it is augment.
ed apparently by tho fact that all this risk.
expense and trouble, resulted in the sale of
only 81 100000 of bonds, and these at the
moderate rate of 70 per ccntum The act
providing for the payment of the interest on
the public debt in gold had been passed, and
had added very largaly to the annual charge
The interest paid by the Comp
troler according to the re-
port Of 1870, is S190,S7044
The coupons paid by Mr..
Kimpton, amounted to o,014 so

Thus raising the interest on the funded
debt that year to about IA per cent. instead Of
6pcr cent, and adding S24 1862 to the ex.
pcnscs of the State, The face of the bonds,
it is true, rose to 80 per cent. and upwards :;
but the State derived no benefit from the ex
pensc she had incurred to produce the nd
vance. Only one million WAS sold, and those
at 70 per cent.
In reviewing the financial condition of the
State, it was impossible to fail of being grave

impossible for your committee in tho short

sued with the above words embodied in the
form of the bonds. That these words being
deemed Objectionable another set of bonds for
like amount ($l ,000, ,00W wus prepared and
executed, and were sent to the financial agent
to supply the place of the objectionable issue
Of this Objectionable issue of bonds, $500 900
were long since returned and cancelled, as
appears by the assurances given to your com
mittce by the Comptroller and Treusurcr--
Upon the authority Of Mr.. Kimpton, Agent,
and Mr.. Parker, Treasurer, it appears also
that Il further sum of $500, 900 has been re
turned within few days. These have not
yet been cancelled Mr.. Kimpton also as.
sured the committee that the remaining Sl00,.
600 would soon be returned ; that there was
not any longer delay in affecting the exchange
than arose from the necessity Of waiting until
the several loans matu:cd for which the first
bonds had been pledged.
Tho arrangement of having a financial
agent III New York, does not make favorable
impression upon the committee. Copies of
the accounts rendered by him for tho fiscal
years OF 1869 mud 1870 are annexed to this
aud 9. TIC large sum in money or bonds
always in tho hands of the agent is attended
with unusual risk in the management Of the
finances of II STATE; and the difficulty of keep
lug the accounts Of the agency and of
the treasury in constant and regular accord is
great 1t will be seen for example, by ac.

Beecher and the Ku-Klux.

Henry Ward Beecher denounces the Ku-
Klux bill, not in milk-and-water sort Of way,
but in bold. manly and unsquivocal terms.
After rsbuking the Reconstruction lniqui-
ty and rsprobating the carpst-bag monstrss-
tiles which it spawned forth upon the South,
he says:
''This only partially indicates the official
knavery and Incompetence, the elevation Of
demagoguss and dupss to the highest Offices,
the gross debasement of politics, from which
the South still suffers. Before the war, it
was characteristic OF this section that its
best men-those of intelligence and oharac-
ter and high social standing-.ngagsd in
politics far more generally than the like
class at the North State and local offices
were to great extent filled from this class
Almost to man thsy were proni led by
the rebellion As their previous positions
had very generally involved taking an oath
Of allegiance to the United States, the lsgis-
lation of Congress has excluded thsm from
political rights and honors In this way
the oldest and most trusted leaders of the
Southern communities have been shut out
from direct part in public affairs. Say if
you please, that these men deserved punish
ment for aiding the rebellion, But none
the less is the loss to the body polite Of its
most experienced counssllors grave misfor-
tune. None the less does the exclusion of
their trusted chiefs breed alienation and bit
terness throughout the old population. So
far as thsir place has been taken by men
from the North, these have not generally
shown themselves expert either in the art Of
government or Of conciliating the people.
If anything is clear in the original organ
ization of our political system, it is that
crimes against person and property are to
be dealt with by the States Ii one thing
is forbidden by The constitution; it is that
the National Executive should exercise ua
limited authority o.er any section Of the
country whenever be sees fit. The pretexts
by which it is sough: to evade these barri-
crs, not of the letter, but Of the spirit of
of our organic law, would justify any eva
sion or overthrow whatever
The attempt to secure order and morality
in the Southern States are exceedingly desi-
rable, but they cannot be imported thither.
The bayonet and the conscience are never
good friends 1t may DO needful to main
tain the framework Of socisty and the form
Of government, but force cannot make men
kind, just, generous Or pssceabls. Even if
force could work obedience, to use force up
on such scale in time OF peace will essenti-
ally change the nature of cur government !;
and that is too large price to pay for order
in hundred Alabamas or Louisianas
