W. G. Gould & Co., on the above |
bill-being 25 per cent. less than our
bill. The Commissioners could not
cypher out 5000 to be 25 per cent
less than S240 On the 18th of Jan
uary, 1868, one week after the above
allowance, for which an order was
issued, we find on the books of the
Auditor that so more was allowed
to w. G. Gould d Co., balance on
bill for publishing the above report,
for which another order was issued
and this extra was allowed to Gould,
as we understood, on his representa-
tions of the extra work of putting up
rule and figure work, we will call it,
if he prefers that to the term, tabular
work, which is the same, as under
stood by printers. But suppose it was
not for figure work, what did he charge
the $50 more than 25 per cent. less
than our bill for? Will Mr. Gould ex-
plain this The Commissioners, how
ever, did not allow him his bill Of 5000,
but cut it down $50, and then allowed
him SO more than by his contract
with the Auditor he was to do it for,
just as we have all the time asserted.
These are facts, and Gould may wig
gle under them as much as he pleases
he cannot change them.
In his closing paragraph, Gould
says:
We do not think we shall again no
tice them or their fa.sehoodS, but
pursue such a course as seemeth unto
us right, and let the people judge o
the purity Of our motives and the cor
rectness of our action. But if we dis
cover thieving going on, we shall pro
claim it to the tax payers, and advise
them to look to their interests.
! Gould is in the habit, by his low
dirty insinuations, of charging us ant
the County Commissioners with steal
ing the people money from the Coun
ty Treasury, simply to injure us ii
our business, and to lnjure the Count,
Commissioners and the political part
that has elected them. This is con
tcmptible enough, but we would re
mind brother Gould when he is, by hi
; Inuendos, charging his neighbors wit
4 stealing, that there is no thief quit
so low and mean as ''He scho steal

Old Things Have Passed AVA

=" Old InlnSs nave Fassed AWays
: This is at least true of the old method
of treating the long abused and much
abused human body. 1t is no longer
considered wise to put a patient to the
torture in order to cure him of disease
in which pain is already undermining
the energies of his system. True science
ranges itself on the side of nature, and
endeavors to assist herin her fghtagainst
disease. This is the province of Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, the most approved
tonic ever advertised in this country. 1t
may be recommended as fall medicine,
par excellence; for it is in the fall that
biliousness, dyspepsia and malarious fe-
vers are especially prevalent. Theframe,
exhausted by the heats of summer, is re-
laXed and feeble att its close, and requires,
we may say demands, artificial assistance.
Afford it that assistance in occasional
doses of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, and
the evils referred to may be escaped.
Throughout tile far West, and on the
steaming alluvial of the Southern rivers,
all the varieties OF. periodical fever are
probably rife to-day. Had course of
Hostetter's Bitters been commenced by
the sufferers a month ago, 4. e., before
the unhealthy season set in, seven-eights
of them would in all probability be in
their usual health at the present time.
So much for want of forecaste. Somuch
for not keeping in the house, and using
daily, the best safeguard against epidem-
ic and endemic fevers. a7'<

ON the. verge of Ruin.

!. The Savannah Advertiser, Of Sun
day last, contains the following touch
ing. incident, which it prints and for
the truth of which it Youches:
There are incidents in real. life
when the virtues and good traits Of
those who are unfortunate enough to
be under the ban Of their fellow
creatures are brought into active
play, and are developed in. wonderful
disproportion 70 the goodness of the
self-asaured Christians who affect: to-
sneer at these less. favored 'publicans
and sinners. We have been so i'm
pressed by this fact that we propose
to give our readers the outlines of a
life historY-a real drama in our
midst-the central figure in which
is young girl of sixteen, who arriv-
ed in Savannah last Wednesday on
the steamer San Jacinto. She is the
daughter of a.real estate broker in
the upper part of New York city,
where, just from school, she chafed
under the restraint Of home rule, and
decided in an evil moment. to leave
her parents and seek her fortune
abroad in the world.
It was wretched step for her,
some strange fatality, which seems to
guide the young when once on the
road to destructi in, leading her into
the company Of a woman in New
York interested in sending out mem
bers of the denai .u,oa:ds to Savannah.
Realizing that the girl was a victim
of value, this woman secured the
former passage on the San Jacinto
under the name of Lila Howard, in
structing her 20 go to noted m,aisen
de 1ose in this city, where she would
be doubly welcomed in view Of Her
innocence. Arriving here she follow
ed out the instructions, and repaired
to the house designated. The pro-
.prietress received her, and upon
questioning her, to her astonishment
developed the facts as we have stated
them. Fully satisfying herself that
the girl had told the truth, the land
lady communicated with some of. the
Catholic clergy, who took charge of
her, and still have her, we believe,
under their keeping. We understand
that she will ia time he sent back to
her parents, who have been written
to. and who, we hope, will keep watch
and ward over her carefully in the
future. pi B
We cannot praise too warmly the
woman who thus saved pure and
innocent girl from ruin, and whose
heart was not dead to the inspiration
Of virtue and goodness. In the day
of reckoning this act Of hers will, 60
far towards winning immortality,
while the divine:commendation, /" well
DONE will, we believe be more freely
bestowed.

The Rebel Debt.

3 The Chicago Tribune postsits read
ers about " the rebel debt" in truth
full manner, but one which will not
be acceptable to the Grant party, 1t
says a@' -.
The rebel debt is a bugbear. There
is no such debt, inasmuch as all Con-
'federate bonds and notes were made
payable subject to the recognition Of
the independence of the Confederate
States BY the United States. If there
were any euch debt, the South would
cot desire to pay it, since that region
already rests under legal debts which
threaten repudiation. Finally, if
there were. such a debt, and the
South desired to pay it, the fourteenth
amendment conclusively forbids it.
There is, however, a debt Of the car
pet-bag States, amounting to P2l5,-
100000, incurred mainly hy.th pres
ent Administration, by Grants par
tisans in the South, owned by Henry
Clews & Co., and otherbankers, which
there is a far greater probability our
taxpayers must pay than that they
will be called Oh to pay the rebel
debt. Most Of the bonds have been
sold to these bankers for from 10 to
40 per cent. Of their face. Probably
not over 100000 Or $780, 100000
have been loaned to these csrpet-bag
officers by the bankers, and a very
handsome profit can be made by form
ing a ring at Washington to induce
Congress to assume the payment o.
these bonds. This would be, more
ridiculous than our assuming the deb
of San Domingo. It may be plausi
bly, argued that, unless Congress as
sumes their payment, they will drift
their States Straight into repudiation
and that rspudiatfon BY eight States
would depress our national credi
and shatter our public and privat
securities by more than $2I50 0OOoo
in value. AS they were incurred b.
the. Grant party IN. the. South. tn

Experiments with a Corpse.

.
The professors and students of the
Medical College at Columbus, Ohio,
performed some experiments ON the
body Of. John Barclay, hung on Fri
day, for the sHs murder lru offehEsa|rles Es|t F.
Garner. asa.li "a gz,;S.;iiyel
he body was taken to thelanatpmi-
cal fecturing room Of the college. 1t
was. then removed from the coffin aud
placed upon theoperating table. The
pupils Of the eyes, were: found. to be
dilated. and the face discolored. y The
body was stripped Of its clothing,
and at thirteen minutes to one o'clock,
thlrty-seyen minutes after death, the
students began operations Theelec-
trical instrument used was one of the
most powerful known, consisting Iof
sixscups Of Bunson's battery attached
to'Ritch's induction coli Of the larg,..
est size, 1t, was operated, by, Prof,
Mendenhall, of Columbus, an eminent
electrician, while Professor Wormly
and Professors Holderman and Denie
conducted the experiment. Two cur
rents Of electricity were used-oIe
placed at the lower extremity of the
body, and the other drawn along the
arm, neck, face, and breast. Tie ef.
feet was wonderful; the eyes opened,
the face drew up as if in pain, tie
mouth jerked to one side, tie arm
raised as if to strike, and the fist
clenched. The limbs also raised, and
the toes and fingers worked, and once es
the body almost turned TO one side.
The arms were next laid bare, and a
current Of electricity introduced.
The whole system seemed to respond,
and the movements Of the bodywere
at times violent. At four minutes to
two o'clock the electricity was renov-
ed, and faint actions Of the muscles
could even then be observed, Tie
body was afterwards left until ten
minutes after three, when the cleo
tricity was again applied, and the
muscles Of the body still responded
as before, but with less force. The
breast was then opened, and a cur
rent passed into the heart, but it
gave no response. It was carried to
The hands and feet and all responded
as before. The heart was then taken
out and found. hard as muscle and
full of blood, the lungs not congested,
the brain very healthy and free from
any congestion whatever. At eleven
minutes after four o'clock electricity
was again applied and good response
was had. At eighteen minutes after
FIVE q faint response was given, and
at fifteen minutes to six, FIVE hours
and thirty five minutes after death,
the strongest current that could be
applied failed to move q muscle.
The experiment was then brought to
a close, the crowd dispersed, and the
mutilated body Of John Barclay was
in its coffin, delivered to the
coroner, and given its final burial.
