As Government Bonds are 80 high that the income
derived from them is too small for ordinary invest
ments and as the number of persons seeking perma-
nent and safe securities other than Governments is
constantly increasing we, in order to accommodate
our friends and customers have made thorough and
searching examinations of several which we can
fully recommend possessing the requisite qualif
cations of a good investment. Prominent among
these are the SIX PEP CENT BONDS OF THE CHEsA-
PEAKE AND OHIO X. r. CoMPANY-the interest and
principal Of which are payable in NewYOrk City, in
gold coin. They are issued in denominations of
$780, $500, and $1,000. either coupon registered.
The price at present is 94 and accrued interest. AS
this road is now nearly completed and will soon
become one of the great trunk roads from the Allan
tic tde-waters to the heart of the great West, and
opening low grade and direct line with Cincinnati
Dayton Louisville, ST. Louis and other great cities
we think the price very low. The amount remain
ing unsOld is small.
We would also recommend the CENTRAL PACIFIC
SIX PER CENT GOLD BONDS, and also the WESTERN
PACIFIC.
These bonds are now so well llnown-the roads
having been completed some time and earning at
the rate of twelve millions per annumt is needless
for us to enter into details.
We also conduct regular banking business in all
its branches, and receive deposits, on which wo
allow interest at the rate Of four per cent per
annum. FISK 81 HATCH

About DEFA ULTBRS-HOM QUESTIONS.
1t has been a good while since The Syracuse
Journal seemed to require any notice AZ our
hands. But here is paragraph on a matter
about which it is generally an authority:
The TRIBUNE OF Saturday printed list of defauling
Internal Revenue officers whom Grant has brought 10
grief. The Courier Of this city printed similar LIST
few months ago, including the OF Alfred wilkinson
at present Secretary OF the Liberal State Committee
Why did TIKI TRIBUNE omit Mr.. wkinson's namew
Now The Journal does understand the bust
ness of stealing,-it lately bore at the head of
its editorial columns the name of one OF the
most adroit and successful petty thieves in
the State and hence we resolved, on seeing the
above, to conquer the contemptuOus indiher-
euce with which it is natural to regard its
utterances, and look into the matter. Here is
the result of our inquiries:
Mr.. Alfred Wilkinson, a gentleman of sub
stance and successful banker of Syracuse
was Collector of Internal Revenue, appointed
by Abraham Lincoln, and turned out by An
drew Johnson. The date of his decapitation
was June 10, 1855. AS in the case of most
Collectors in rich districts, it took a long time
to get the Department to bring up its work
and close his accounts. Here are the latest
Official records on the subject:
on July ~. 1871 X. w. Tayler First Controller OF the
Treasury, writes 1.-THE amount OF s77l still TO be
RENTED your account will reach you In the
business"
On July "a. 1871. l.. A. Tuttle Assistant Treasurer
writes "a draft your favor for the sum of s171 "a
has been forwarded to the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue for transmission to you"
On the 18th July, 1871, Mr. j. w Douglass the Deputy
Commissioner OF Internal Revenue writes: "You are
las day
closed upon the books OF this Office"
On the I4tA August 1871 Mr. Wilkinson receipts the
Treasury Department for s7i 81 being the balance due
him from the Government the final adjustment Of his
accounts
In other words, when Mr.. Wilkinson's Office
was required at his hands by Andrew johnson,
instead Of his being in debt to the Government
the Government was IN debt to him, and 40
remained for over six years. Ii finally closed
the account by renting to him the balance
due. The petty SANDER against him was worth
running down, only to show the general char
acter of one Of the late varieties of the Anti
Greeley Lie"
And now q word or two for The Syracuse
Journal, on subject which it under
stands and is competent to express opinions
about What is the exact date at which James
Terwllliger ceased to be one Of its propri
etorsi How much money had he stolen from
the State up TO that time7 How much of
it has he since paid backY What pro-
portion of his disgraceful thievery was still
covered up when he resigned TO escape
further exposure and expusion9 Are his
partners in The Syracuse Journal anxious
to have tho public informed Of tho Syracuse
stationery bills against tho State. hitherto UNI

purposes, their ultiU.ate goal is Grant. Like
poor Gen. John "A. Dix, Mr.. Harris believes
Mr.. Greeley to be a radical, and therefore he
spits upon him. Unlike that prudent warrior,
Mr.. Garrison says Mr.. Greeley is conserva-
tive but he agrees with the General that he
cannot support him. 1t is pretty clear, then,
that the Liberal cause will be obliged to go
on to victory without Messrs. Garrison and

EYTREME,2 MEET

VIM. LLOYD Garrison has been known as q
! lifelong Abolitionist who advocated the i'm
mediate liberation of the slaves. in season and
out of season. Benjamin g. Harrs's prOudest
| boast is that he is an original Secessionist,
and was officially censured by the House
of Representatives, while one of its
members, for uttering reasonable senti-
ments. These gen tlemen have simultane-
ously come out against Horace Greeley.
Mr.. Harrison represents the extreme
radicalism of the England of forty
years ago, its hatred of the South, its unfor-
giving temper, and its blind, unreasonng fear
of a beaten foe. Mr.. Harris stands for the
bitter, unrelenting BOurbonism of the South,
which literally forgets nothing and learns
nothing. Mr. Garrison will not forgive
any liberal minded man who was not an
AbOitionist when he was. Mr.. Harris
hates the negro, and those who were
his friends, with an undying hatred,
and will forgive none who helped dispc his
dream of Slave Empire. And both of these
men are against Greeley; the utterances of
both are eagerly welcome to the supporters of
President Grant.
We surrender good deal of space to the
characteristic letters of Messrs. Harris and
Garrison, to-day, because their angry flow
of words forms unique feature of
these stirring times. Neither letter writer has
or ever had political influence and the
purposes of both are defeated by their pas
sionate rating of the public men whom they
discuss 1t is not likely that sober and think
ing men will be much disturbed or seriously
influenced by the angry treble Of Mr.. Gar
In i
The former is nothing if not abusive;
the latter can scarcely find words to ex-
press his rage. Mr.. Garrison hates Mr..
Greeley for his conservatism Mr.. Harris can
never forgive his radicalism. Mr.. Garrison
rakes over the ashes of the past to Hind the
embers of the civil war Mr.. Harris is down on
his knees in the same place, praying for the
eternal damnation of "that bOrse-thief and
murderer John Brown The Massachusetts,
AbOlitionist declares that the South was liar
from the beginning and must not and can
mot be trusted;r the Maryland Rebel crashes
his teeth when he reflects that the South
failed to obtain "its established rights by
secession. And both of these men are doing
their best TO defeat Mr.. Greeley.
Mr.. Ga1ison's letter is addressed TO Senator
Sumner but it is only an apotheoss of CARR
son. Mr.. Sumner, he says, is not an original
Aboitionist; he used not to go to anti
Slavery meetings when Mr.. Garrison did and
when he took his place in the Senate, he did
not, on that day, nor the next, move "A disso-
lution of the Union or immediate abolition of
Slavery. Indeed, Mr.. Garrison has very
poor opinion of Senator Summers services
i'm the cause of human freedom aud cannot
refrain sneer at the suggestion that the
negro needs further notice. Nj. Garrison's
vocation gouo, be throws oil his wards with o
