In his annual report, as commissioner Of the
Freedmen Bureau, Gen. Howard recommends
the abolition of what remains of that institu-
tiou For the past year the bureau has been
engaged chiefly in the work Of education
among the freedmen and the payment OF
bounties due colorcd troops The work can be
carried on through other departments of the
government now established by law, and with
much less expense. We are glad to see some
prospect Of an end being put to what has
dragged its Slow length along, ever since
the war, adding to the taxes of the people
and that even Gen. Howard thinks there has
been enough of it.

under the act approved June 18th, 1870, ell
titled an act to authorize the formation Of the
Atlantic, Mississippi and OHIO Railroad Com
pany, the said company is formed by the union
of three or four of the then existing railroad
companies named IN said act that the stock
holders Of said roads, organized under and in
accordance with the provisions of the act, and
/ have always been OF the opinion that the At
lantic, Mississippi and Ohio COMPANY is valid
and lawful corporation.
Under the terms Of SAID act the State sold,
assigned. and delivered her interest and claims
held by her in the four companies named in
the act, to the Atlantic. Mississippi and Ohio
Company, aud to secure the payment OF

ing the times, so as not to deprive those

convicted, and of his conviction no one en-
tertains o doubt, the vacancy on the Bench
must be filed by the appointment of Gov,
Caldwell, who will have an opportunity OF
rejecting credit on himself and the Judi

Judge Warren, than whom no one could
better grace and honor the Office. 1t can
well be imagined that this Impeachment
excites but little interest, IN comparison

BE Guided by what You know.

There ia an old proverb which sayB, "Expc-
rience is the safest guide" To this guide tLs
sick and ailing naturally turn when casting
about for the means of relief They inquire
what medicine has done for others, before they
adopt it Themselves OF all the remedies and
preventives in use. Hostetter's Stomach Bitters
meets the test most triUmphanDy and hence its
immense popularity and vast Gales. The suffer
er from indigestion is sure TO find soma enc
among his friends who has been cured of that
ailment by the famous vegetable stomachie. The
victim offever and ague, liver complaint, con
stipation, nervous prostrAtion, or general de
bility, has only to make inquiry in the neigh
borhood where he resides in order to discover
what t1is standard restorative has effected III
cases similar to his own. In the published tes-
tinony to it's merits he will find volume Of
proofs of it's sanitary properties, which it ls i'm
possible for his common sense 10 resist. He
tries it, and tho effect it produces on his system
adds another to the host of witnesses ia its ia
vor. Thus, its reputation, fouL ded on facts,
not assertions, continually grows and spreads.
Chsrlatans and impostors some of them mere
local tricksters, and others who take somewhat
wider range, attempt to thrust into the hands
and down the throats of invsEd5, their haphaz-
ard concoctions as substitutes fer the tonic
which for so many years has been medicinal
America, Canada, and tho West Indies, but only
succeed TO q very limited extent. In this reas-
oning age, the people, having ascertained what
is really deserving of thcr confidence. decline
running after strange gods." -

TRAVIS, a correspondent of the Raleigh
Sentinel. makes the following serious
charge against Judge Henry. 1t should
certainly call for the attention OF the Leg
islature, nowthat their hands are in. The
people (the taxpayers We moan, not the
poverty stricken Kadicals) would be vii
ling for them to remain in session all sum
mer, if they would only continue the good
work in which they are now engaged
TRAVIS says So You complain of 60 Greasy
Sam " for corruption, Tourgee for the
same, Logan and Cannon, especially the
latter, for imbecility and ignorance, and
Pearson and Jones for drunkenness. Why
not notice Judge Henry aOnly few days
drunk, drunk, drunk. During a late spree
an unfortunate man was brought before
him on Aabeds corpus. The Judge was
drunk, and the prisoner had TO wait until
His Honor got sober.

We have been informed that CORES
pondence has been undertaken with the
prosr ect Of terminating in negotiations
for an alliance between these two Com
panies, for the purpose of making direct
and short line from the Queen City Of the
West to the Atlantic at Wilmington.
Now that our harbor is TO be SO com
pleteIy improved. and twenty feet OF water
maintained on the bar at all times, we are
in condition to offer superior induce
ments to our Western brethren to come to
lis with their produce aud receive here
their West India goods and other great
staples.
Upon examining the map we find the
line almost direct one from CINCINNATI
to Whining ton-passing through Cumber-
land Gap to Johnson's Station on the Vir-
pinia and East TEMPE ,sce Railroad, two
hundred and twenty-five mllts, theEco to

twenty miles, thence 10 Lire linton on tue

Charlotte thirty-two miles. and thence to
Wilmington one hundred and eighty-five
miles, making less than five hundred and
twenty i've miles from Cincinnati, on the
waters of the Ohio, to the Atlantic Ocean
at Wilmington.
We have great faith that this route will
be adopted by the Great Southern Railway
Company, to which the city OF Cincinnati
subscribes ton millions Of dollars. II our
own people would wake up to the advan-
tage5 which they posses, and would ap-
preciate the real importance Of completing
the Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
Railroad, there could and would be much
accom- lished, and the future OF our little
city would be far muIG brilliant than its
most sADguiue friends anticipate.
