CERTIFICATES OF INDEBTEDNESS
RA.SCILI1'I- PlilIP.4N7.

Quite stir was made last week in our
vicinity, on account of rumors which
limited that the County Treasurers would
be restrained from receiving certificates
of Indebtedness for taxes. And on Friday
the Columbia papers furnished us with
facts of which we give synopsis.
John Bauskett of Columbia through his
attorneys Montcith & Bauskctt filed a
bill with 7. Fl. Cooke Judgc) to restrain
Treasurer Cardozo, and the several
County Trcasurers from receiving for
taxes, and from paying out the certiti-
cate OF Indebtedness issued to the Rcpub-
lican Printing Company; The Judge
granted the injunction, and will in his
order hcur the case on the 10Th. Treas
urer Cardozo meanwhile to alay the
apprehension ofthousands Of unfortunates
into whose hands (undcr an act of the
Legislature providing for the reception
of said bills receivable for taxcs) these
bills have fallen in the way oflcgitimate
trade, gives us the following version:
TIE .ISJuNcTIoN CASE.
For the information ofthc public and
those holding Certificates of indebted
ness" have determined, upon, consulta-
tion with his Excellcncy tbs Governor,
to make the following statements:
A temporary injunction WAS issued this
morning by lis Honor Judge Cooke,
upon the application Of Mcssrs. Montcith
and Bnuskett, against the county treasur-
ers, who arc required to show cause, on
the l9tl, instant, why said temporary in.
junction should not be made permanent.
1t is due to the administration and the
public to show the motives actuating the
parties who have obtained this injunction.
This is best seen by the following CORES
pondcncc:
CAEDoZO SAYS
I leave the public to draw their own
conclusions, ormake their own comments.
While the temporary injunction, against
tho county trcasurers receiving them for
taxes, continues, and even ii it should be
made permanent, tho holders of these
certificates need not be alarmed as to
their ultimate redemption, ihasmuch as
the State treasurer is authorized by law
to redeem them at the treasury out Of the
Orangeburg times. [volume] (Orangeburg, S.C.) 1872-1875, 1874-01-15

AUSTINBURG,

The stocks of cheese on hand at the va
rious factories are far from beng exhaust
ed. The new factory al this place-T. B.
Wire, manager-has sopped work with
81 eheeses of November and December
make. Besides this fictory, Mr.. Wire
CONTROLS the manufacture of several 9TH
ers, and considerable quantities remain
on hand. Mr.. W. informs us that he has
handled this season, including the stock
on hand. over 900 ions. The old factory
has stock of $40 on hard, and has man
ulactured 10 tons during the season.
Last sales were of Octot make, at 15115.
Mr.. N. P. Tillotson, is lir maker Both
these factories are ve7"" -editabe estah

by steam, and an even and uniform lem
perature secured. Theiold factory uses
four vats. and is hardly surpassed in Ca
pacity by any other in the county.
Mr.. MyrOn Pulls has returned from
MassIlOn, where he has been spending
some time, submitting TO an operation
upon the eyes, in removing cataract The
result is encouraging-the sight gradual
ly improving
Mr.. Geo. A. Pulls began business in his
new store-brick block-about The first of
November, which allows time enough to
judge of the run of trade. He reports a
favorable state of things. From him we
learned that the lots upon which this
block stands were given, out and out, by
Capt Austin, for the purpose to which
they have been devoted. Another block
is to be added 10 this, by the Captain
himself-probabIy in the spring. Such
improvements will give character 10 the
place.
Mr.. F. A. Barnes, judging from the
run of customers he has, is doing a good
business.
The hotel-ExchaGge-has never been
managed more acceptably than now, un-
der landlord Baldwin. II is popular with
the travelling public and enjoys quite a
boarding patronage from the young men
of the Institute
The school, though suffering a loss
from the diphtheria panic, still has 15O
students-mOre than it has ever had al
this season of the year.
The Congregational church, since the
burning of their house, has met in the
Unitarian building, which, however, is
found to be rather lnconveniently small
The project of building, therefore, has not
only been decided upon, but considera
bic material for foundations, &C., has al.
ready been gathered together for an early
start in the spring. The church is in good
condition, and united in the pastoral
relation of Rev. Mr.. Nutting.

The trial of DR.. Brown, charged with
poisoning horses, and whose arrest was
mentioned two weeks since, has not yet
been had, owing TO the extreme illness Of
the Doctor, and there are probabilities
expressed that he will not recover, but
go TO higher court to answer. His ar
rest had at least one good efect-It stop
ped the spread of the disease, and no
new cases have been reported since he has
been in custody. A number of the no rses
poisoned improve slowly, fiat all, while
others are apparently recovering. 1t is
very seldom that any occu rrence has so
aroused the people and among whom
there Is expressed such a resolute pur-
pose to bring the guilty party to justice
Reports have been in circulation that
the detectives of Cleveland had secured
the principal burglar who burned and
robbed the store of the Messrs. Potter, al
West Springfield, but parties who went
TO Cleveland on Saturday failed TO identi
fly him and he was discharged.
1t is a consoling fact that while the
settlers over the vast territory of the West
are calling for aid TO carry the NJ through
the pests of the gFasshopper plague, and
while Europe is likewise demanding
from US eighty or ninety millions of
bre adsiuff, That Russia is enabled to send
US 100000 bushels of barley in response
TO the demand of the beer guzzlers
That traffic does not appear to suffer
however great the want may exist for
feeding the destitute in our land.
For The last two weeks the weather
has been varied, yet favorable for most
kinds of business, as the roads have been
in Just the condition which invites travel
and increases trade. Never have we seen
our business places more pressed with
customers, or the street when they al
forded better evidence of growing and
increased trade in Conneaut
The approach of The holidays and the
anticipated advent of Santa Claus, is
just now the absorbing topic,
and among our churches and many of
our public places around town and in
the country, the festivals promise TO be
ofa high order, while the family re-un-
ions will be more general and. more
heartily welcomed than ever before

up with social intercourse, and the inter-
change OF sympathy and kindly Offices.
The choir contributed good music, and

addresses from the Rev. Mr.. Wrigles-

HARTSGRORE.


We recently listened to two sermons,
delivered by the far-famed H. W. Beech
er. The subjects were nearly akin, and
treated in his own peculiar style, giving
unmistakable evidence of his acquaint-
ance with the Fowler and Tyndal theo-
ries. The long, and predatory prayers
with which he opened his discourses,
were truly ingenious. For smoothness of
style and elegance of diction, they oould
not be surpassed. We certainly thought
that eloquence could not be lost, for if
God was not charmed, man surely was.
Then came the discourse, founded on
Rom. VIII, which, said Mr.. B., is highly
descriptive of the physical and moral ma
ture ofman. Here, said the learned gen.
tleman, we have a graphic description OF
the source of sin, aud the true cause OF
all mans moral maladies. Hence, the
interminable war between body and splr-
it-between mind and matter, which
must rage with fearful fury till death re-
lieves the trembling spirit, which, al
ways pure, returns to the God who gave
it. But not so with the vile body, that
must return 10 its corrupt old mother
earth-the source of all our misery-tu
rise no more forever.
The second discourse was from Gala
tians, "Ye did run well, who did hinder
your" The argument on this theme was
treated phren ologically. Some had sup
posed that God had great reservoir oI
grace somewhere to assist the runners
but not so. Every man must depend on
his own heels. The trouble was, most
men were born with their bra ms wrong
side up-the largest organs being IN the
lower part of their craniums. This was
their calamity, but not their crime. God
was looking on, full OF compassion-saw
their weakness. but in the end of the race
would be very kind to all his feeble crea.
lures, although they make such pool
steerage in this life.
In some parts of our land, said Mr.. B.
the doctrine of retributive Justice was
still prevalent Old Greece was troubIoI
with the same fallacy, and even thelaw
OF Moses ,'was corrupted on that point
The old declaration made by cd him-
self, "The Lord God, gracious and merel,
lul' &C." was all destroyet by one ieil
swoop at its close, viz. But Will III ho
wise acquit the guilty
We said to a gepAeman' VINO hau Oeen
listening for tbe frst time, "What do you
think of BeechdH" He answered, when
he closed his drst prayer, thought him
saint but -hen he had finished his SER
mon 7 A,ok HIM to be devil"
II will be recollected that large as
se.nbly of dlvines were called last season,

Mr.. Beecher, which resulted in the unani-
nous withdrawal OF Christian fellowship

tions, but am informed by an intelllgen

On Friday, the 18th, shooting match
came off on the fair grounds, and IS the
prize to be won was young bear, il
drew quite a crowd We understand a
man from Greene, captured Bruin with
the best shots. About a dozen persons
got "shot in the neck" by trying to
steady their nerves with some of the for
ty rod whisky, that is being dealt out by
unprincipled persons in our town. One
of the unfortunate dozen was found dead
drunk, lying upon the sidewalk. before
he had got thirty-llVe rods from the sink
hole of lniquity, and had he not been
found by some of our citizens, he would,
undoubtedly, haYe frozen to death. Some
who resided out oftown were, too drunk
TO go home, and were obliged to stay all
night.
The good citizens are aroused in the
matter, and a meeting is called at our
Town Hall for Saturday evening, 26th,
when positive and decided action will be
taken to rid the community ofaIl such
nuisances. Although person has a rev.
unue license to deal in liquors, the law
plainly says-"Thus far shalt thou go
AID no farther"
II is 10 be hoped that there will be a
large turn out, and that all who desire
quietness and order in our community,
will take a decided stand upon this ques-
ton. We pity the poor, unfortunate
drunkard, but we despise and loath, the
drunkard maker.
