In concluding the address, he said:
And why should not we, too, boast
that our enmities are mortal as the gar
lands that we bring, and our friendships
as enduring as the grave that they adorn ?
And who are now our soldiers Are
they confined 10 a section? Are they en-
braced in creed? Do they belong to a
class No. The army that keeps the
outside world in awe is composed of all
citizens capable of bearing arms, of all sec
tons, political parties and antecedents-
the stalwart and valient men who are now
busy plying the forge, holding the pillow,
pushing the industry Of every section and
region, and State, a self-sustaining host,
governing themselves and capable of de-
, Tending that government against the COM
bined world in arms.
These constitute the real Grand Army
of the Republic.
And God grant that civil strife may
never again darken and desolate our homes
and that whenever duty calls upon the
citizens of the United States to repel in
vasion or vindicate the national honor, nc
grievance may Turk behind us, but may we
all be found side by side in the lists Of
glory, battling for the sacred principle Of
constitutional liberty. Oh priceless boon,
and purchased at inestimable cost For
this, the men We commemorate to-day
have died. They died, that we might live
| in peace, contentment and good viii. Lei
US hallow their dust Let us honor theil
courage. Let US venerate their motives
Let us cherish their memory"
Col S. was repeatedly cheered during
the address which occupied full hour il

We are willing to place the liberal senti
ments of the Chicago Tribune and of thu
Jefferson Barracks assembly alongside o
the lliberal ones at the head of this articl,
and leave the people to Judge which vii

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly
claims for 1t a superiority over all remedies
offered to the public for the safe certain spec
dy and permanent cure Of Ague and Fever, or
Chills and Fever, whether OF short or long stand
ing. He refers to the entire Western and South
ern country to bear him testimony TO the truth of
the assertion that in no whatever will it fail
to cure If the directions strictly followed and
carried ont. In great many cases single dose
has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families
have been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. II is, however.
prudent and in every more certain of cure, if
its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or
two after the disease has been checked more es-
pecially in difficult and long standing cases. Usu-
ally this medicine will not require any aid TO keep
the bowels in good order. Should the patient,
however require cathartic medicine, after having
taken three or four doses Of the tonic, single
dose OF Bills Vegetable Family Pills will be sufh-
cient

OFFICE conrrnoLLrn OF Pubic Accouxrs


OFFICE COMPTROLLER OF PUBLIC ACCOUNTS,
AUSTIN, May z, 1878.
Editors Democratic Statesman
In reply to an article in the State Journal
of the 9Th inst, over the signature of Judge
VIM. Chambers, have to say, that article
1920, Paschals Digest, provides that the
Comptroller, 'shall draw warrants on the
Treasurer for the payment of all moneys
directed by law to be paid out of the Treas
ury; and no warrants shall be drawn unless
authorized by law and every warrant shall
refer to the law under which it is drawn,
and no warrant shall be issued in favor of
any person, or the agen- or assignee of any
person indebted to the State, until such
debt be paid"
Information was given me by the District
Attorney of Judge Chambers District, that
the said Judge had in his possession the
sum of seven hundred dollars belonging to
an escheated estate, and that said amount
had been in his hands for long time.
The law places escheated estates in the
Treasury of the State or provides that they
shall be deposited in the State Treasury.
Paschal's Digest, Art 1916.
have only discharged my duty in noti-
flying my accountant that .Judge Chambers
is charged with having received seUen hun
dred dollars belonging to an escheated es-
tate, until this matter is settled you will
not issue warrants on the Treasury"
With the question of vcracity between
Judge Chambers and the attorney have no
interest, and will not discuss
know of no authority which justifies or
excuses a Judge of the District Court in
taking possession of and keeping moneys
that belong to the State Treasury, under the
law.
The money, it is believed, should have
been paid over by the administrator to the
Treasury, through the Comptroller's Office.
And then should a claimant arise, the law
points out the mode in which he shall pro-
ceed.
1t is my duty to protect the public moneys
in the Treasury, and shall do so, as far
as the power is given me, whether it offend
one person oranother. am satisfied with
the correctness of my action in the premises,
and have no change to make in my rulings,
until ordered to do so by the Courts, whose
mandate shall obey.
A BLEDsoE, Comptroller
