The gradual diminution of the
quantity Of timber in the United
States, has for several years been
the cause Of very serious concern
to the more observant, and that the
concern has been well founded, ap-
pears from a statement in the BoS-
ton Lumber TRADE, that if the an
nual consumption of timber in the
United States does not diminish,
from ten to twelve years will prac-
tically exhaust all the present stock
of pine, spruce. hemlock, and oak,
between the headwaters of the
Mississippi and the eastern sea-
board.

EDITOR OF ARGUS:

EDITOR OF ARGUS:
| see by your issues of Jan. 6 and
l3, that grave charges are made
against the editor OF the Pioneer,
and from the majestic silence he
observes in his last two issues, l am
convinced that the charges you
make are only too true. In fact, by
his silence he admits them. There
fore, if these charges be true, the
editor of the Pioneer is guilty of
perjury, and also of stealing. He
peijured himself when he swore
that his accounts were "just and
true and stole from the city the
amount of his overcharges. If he
is guilty, he should be punished ac-
cording to law. The fact of his be-
ing Republican editor should not
Shield him. 1t was the duty of the
Common Council, at their next SEES
sion after these charges were made,
to have appointed a committee to
Investigate the matter; but l find
from the published proceedings
that nothing was done in this direc-
ton. Now, had he been a Demo-
crat, he would have been under ar
rest before this time, and q detect
i've paid q $1,000 or more, to work
the case up.
The City Treasurer recently ask
cd for 800 additional pay, and the
Council deemed it just to vote him
$500, The plea that the Treasurer
ought to have this pay for his SER
vices may sound well, but has no
force. When elected, he could not
have expected any more pay than
the use of the money, which is no
small item. There are plenty who
Velld have taken the Office for just
what the law allows.
The city printer charges on his
bills presented, for much more than
he does work for, and in all he has
probably taken large sum out of
the; treasury which he had no right
to, But still, when attention is
called TO the matter, nothing is
done, not even to end the contract
with him. f-t
L would like TO call the attention
Of the Board Of Supervisors to the
management of the county poor
Il does not seem to me that the
mere, fact Of a man being Poor
Master Of the county Of Alpena
should support himself and family
without any other resource TO draw

The following extract is copied
from Republican paper,-the
Boston Daily Adoenise', These
notes Of warning from Republican
journals, are not rare, but Grant
and the leader of the party show
total Indifference TO them, and an
entire disregard for the true inter-
ests of the country:
The representative who one day
urges new taxes or new debt be-
fore an attempt is made to reduce
expenses, the next day presents
and advocates a bill prepared by
the council of bankrupt house
10 overturn, the national bankrupt
law, and the next day rises TO show
representatives how they eompro-
mise with duty at a handsome
profit, is not the leader the coming
era demands. Do what you may,
. the principles involved in this
salary business will be among. the
issues on which the country will
pass judgement. Your attempts to
whistle them down the wind will
not avail. The part of tie Repub-
lican party which assists or count
enances such attempts win be de- I
feated. Neither President nor
nor prestige nor patron
age, nor cant of demagogues can
save it. The events in Washing
ton since Congress assembled have
not tended to quiet apprehensions

Multiplicity Of Offices.

We see that Mr.. Copcs Of Fair.
!icld has given notice in tho Legisla.
turc that he will introduce a bill
providing that no person shall hold
more than one Office Of trust or profit,
This is a most commendaLle measure
and we trust it will be Carried. At
present no person is allowed to hold
more than one appointivo or MOI Q
than ono elective ttlicc. But there
have been instances Of persons holding
one OF each. In Fairfield wo had
until recently two instances of this.
Mr.. Nelson was Probate Judge aud
Treasurer, Willie Sheriff Duvall also
olfciatcs as Auditor. Mr.. Nelson
vacated his judgcship, but Mr.. Du-
vail will be Sheriff for two ears
longer.
Now wo merely int nd to speak
i'll general terms upon the holding O:
u multiplicity # Offices. We object to
it, per Sc, rs u vicious practice which
should be at once discontinued for
several good reasons.
Each division Of the machinery of
government hss Il scpcrato depart
ment assigned to it, aud requires tho
attention of somo Individual. 1t is
jaclous mist, ess an will not admit
of rivals. In whatever division an
individual is placed, he should attend
exclusively to the duties pe,tainiu ..
to that sphere. When he accepts more
than ono rilicc, he runs the isk OF
slightiug the one or the other.
This government is also said to be Il
system Of checks aud balauces, each
oIlicial acting to some extent in res.
training others. Especially is this the
ease with the Auditor and Treasurer.
Now when one person is appointed
to ill both these otlicics as was recent
ly tie ease in Grcenvillc, the whole
theory Of the system is over thrown.
Again, "to the victors belong the
spollS." OIhccs have been generally
bestowed Oh faithful party workers
a., rcTat..> for their zeal. Now in
every County there arc a
great many hungry aspirants, and it
Is an outrage upon their claims, to
allow one person to monopolize the
public pap. In this light the present
practice is wrony. Again, the govern
ment is run at an enormous expense
| And ono item Of extravagance
found in salaries. There are su!G
| cient number Of officials in the State
to make it the bust governed COM
monwcalth in the Union. Yet when.
ever the cry Of reform Is raised, we
are told all these public servants are
necessary. Now if ono person can
discharge the duties Of two or more
ciliccE, why should these Offices be
kept separate. If the Sheriff can act
rs Auditor why not abolish the So
authorship ps in the State with their
, %GI,COO Of salaries, aud let the az.
Sessmcnts be made by the Sherilfs or
some other County official, allowing
| them O reasonable ,,om, rnS,tin,,
therefor ? Under the first govern.
mcnt in 1867, we believe, the taxes
Of this county were assessed aud col
lcrtcd iur aUout six hundred dollars
| Now, about $500 are spent each
year for suoh purposes. This calls
loudly for le!orm. Let tie Auditor,
ship be aboiishc 1 aud let Mr.. Copes'
bill be passed.

THE INDIANA STATE SENTINEL TUESDAY FRBRUARY17 H.

Court room, and upon inquiry OF the clerk,
ascertained that all the associate justices
are here, except Davis, Of Illinois. They are
engaged in writing opinions to be delivered
on the re assembling of the Supreme Court
on the 2d of March. There are about fou
hundred cases on the docket, about one hun
dred and fifty of which, it IS presumed, will
be acted upon before adjournment in the
spring. The business is r6presented to be IN
an unprecedented state of forwardness.
SOCIETY GOSSIP.
AT the navy yards and marine barracks
yesterday the receptions surpassed those
heretofore given. Two streams Of carriages
were arriving and departing The sweet
face and pleasant manners of Mrs. Chin
man won for her an unusual number of
calls Mrs. lander ard Mrs. Coburn, also
received large Numbers. while the elegant
Mrs. Richard Harrington and her handsome
sister, n-law, had pleasant reception. The
receptions of AIrs. Bradley, Mrs. Sherman,
and Airs. Bart1ev were tbf, attractions on
First street, that thoroaghidTe being cpEa-
pletely blOckaded by carriages. It is gsa-
uine pleasure 10 cali on Mrs. Sherman; she
receives all with sae sans kindly grace that
betokens warm and loving heart. Mrs.
Simmons, of Rome, who made she fine buss
of General Shermaa was present, and con-
triDuted largely to she success OF the recep-
tioa.
a large number of ladies were out
yesterday; prominent among whom
noticed Mrs. Richardson, Mrs. Judge
Key, Mrs. Hamilton Smith, Mrs. DR.. Stearns
and the beautiful Mrs Westmoreland. To-
morrow Mrs. Scott ,6effries aud daughter
hold their last reception tor the season.
Wednesdays seem to be the most plea
SAINT Gay in the week here, rs every one
seems to await the reception Of the presi-
dent before going elsewhere. The ladies of
the cabinet also hold their receptions on
that day, and as it has been said, sit is the
duty of every one who acknowledges any
social duty TO call first upon these ladies
after the president. The wives of senators
and few other high officials alone being
excepted.
| Mrs. Sprag1Ie, Mrs. Williams, Mrs. Admi-
raj Porter, Mrs. Secretary Richardson, Mrs.
Fish, Mrs. Belknap and Mrs. Brancroft
Davis, are sonse of the ladies in Washington
| society. Miss Edith Fish is one of the social
sensations, and while she has not been

that honor with appropriateness, she is in

CPECIAL NOTICES.
THE FOREMOST TONIC OF rHE AGE.

THE FOREMOST TONIC OF TIIE AGE.
Taking into consideration the character OF It's
vouchers, the history of its cures and its i'm
mense annual sales. Hostefter's Stomach Bitters
may be fairly entitled the foremost tonic of the
age. It is not only a tonic but a constitutional
and local Alternative, and its tendency is to SUBJ
stitute healthy for diseased action throughout
the system. If the stomach is feeble and torpid
it produces a vitalizing impression upon its mu-
cous tissues. No sooner has the dyspePtic swal-
lowed dose of 1t than he knows by his sensa-
tions that his stomach has received an accession
of vigor. 1t increases the desire for food and the
ability to digest and assimiate il. If the liver is
derelict il improves the condition of the organ
and imparts to il q new and healthful impulse
The bowels being obstructed Ii promotes the flow
of bi e into the intestinal canal and thereby re-
lieves them and re-establishes their natural "a.
ton. Its effect upon the brain, the nerves and
the kidneys is equally salutary. In short, II
tones, alters and regulates the whole system.
