EXPERIENCE in the use of this Guano for

In accordance with the established policy of
the company to furnish the best concentrated
fertilizer at the lowest cost to consumers, this
Guano Is put into market this season at the
above reduced price, which the company is en-.
abled to do by reason of its large facilities and
the reduced cost of manufacture.

The Vote on impeachment

By very large majority, the House of
Representatives has rejected the resolutions
impeaching Gov. Scorr and Treasurer BAR
xER of high crimes and misdemeanors,
thereby implicitly endorsing and approving
their over issue of State bonds for more than
six millions dollars, without warrant of law.
Ifthere be any one principle of honesty in
the Republican party, their representatives
who thus make the people partners in the
crimes Of their rulers, should be consigned
to ted.infamy..
Thelegislation which, thus condcnes thcse
unparalleled crimes has disgraced the State
in the estimation of all decent people; and il
not Indignantly repudiated by thuir constit
pnts, will establish beyond all doubt, the
impression of. the total. un6tness Of such {
constituency for the responsibilities Of self
government. The annals Of human soci:ty
present no such spectacle as people who
thus publicly sanction their own spoliatior
by corrupt and wicked rulers
As Ear as we can judge Mr.. Bowen, and
his coadjutors in this movement have beer
earnest, faithful and assiduous in their at
tempt to consign the corrupt faction to pub
lie justice, and should be upheld.by the ap
preval of all honest men. We are not ot

find a, motiyeforl public conduct of which
we approvey aad therefore, in the name o.
honesty, and in all sincerity, we say, thank
you, MIR, Bowen.
