A Brilliant Record of Cures.

An American humorist tells us that it
would have been money in his pocket if
he had been born without stomach,
and then proceeds to figure up the cost Of
chronic dyspepsia, to which he is a
martyr, and which he says it is imposs-
ibe to cure. On this point Josh Billings
(for he is the party referred to) is mis-
taken. Unless his stomach differs from
all other dyspeptic stomachs, Hostetter's
Bitters will cure him in less than three
months. This it would be safe TO guar
antee under any penalty. There are a
few, n very few, actual specifics for dis
ease in existence, and Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters may be set down as one Of them
In cases of indigestion it never fails
Persons who had suffered for many years
almost every conceivable species Of tor
ture from this agonizing complaint, have
been permanently cured with the Bitters
in six weeks. Hundreds of such instances
are on record, authenticated by the testi-
mony of prominent men in every walk Of
life, eminent physicians among the num-
Der. But this celebrated vegetable pre-
parstion is something more thar a stom-
achic and tonic. 1t is also an Alternative
of wonderful virtue. In liver complaint
its effect is as direct and immediate as that
of calomel or blue pill, and much more
salutary and in all diseased conditions
Of the bowels, notably in cases OF consti-
patton, its regulating properties are in the
highest degree serviceable. The new set

TRINITY CENTER.-Last Saturday we
paid flying visit to this place, returning
the following day. If what we saw Sat
urday night was fair sample, we have
no hesitancy in pronouncing Trinity Cen
ter the liveliest camp in the county. A
full string band discoursed sweet strains,
money was plenty and good humor pre-
vailed. Rumfelt & Loring report bust
ness improving and have no reason to
complain. Their store is well stocked
with merchandise of every description
and is the best arranged and neatest kept
in the county. Prices we learned were
also reasonable. Mrs. Coyle has charge
of the hotel which seems to be well pat
renized. Scott Conway runs the black
smith-shop and has all the work he wants
to do. Mines there are paying wel.-
Two Little Giants have been put to work
there lately and others intend fitting up
their claims with them before another
season. In Cinnabar District work is
progressing with favorable prospects,
Fred. Loring showed US several pounds
of quicksilver, the product of Mr.. Lytle's
mine, from which it is expected large
quantities will be taken as soon as two
large retorts now on the road arrive at
the mine and put in working order. Mr..
Lytle has vast amount of ore on hand
which will go 30per cent. and over. Dol
life and others are prospecting cinnabar
locations with good chances ahead. The
ranchers in the valley rejoice over their
large crops, and every thing about the
Center betokens prosperity.

HARD Loss. Miners, living remote
from banking houses or other deposito-
ries, are in the habit of burying their
gold dust and money, not considering it
safe to leave it in their cabins while they
are away at work. Jack Reed, living on
Buckeye Creek, had more money than he
cared to carry about in his pocket, so he
placed it in yeast-powder can and bur-
led it short distance from his cabin
Several times Jack had occasion to visit
his deposit-some times adding to his
store, at othcrs taking therefrom, but al
ways replacing it in exactly the same
spot. A few days ago he went TO get it
but can and contents were gone, although
the hole had been filed and the ground
leveled as when he left it. Calling friends
to his assistance, vigorous search was
instituted, the ground dug up for several
feet around, but to no purpose. Mr..
Reed and his friends are of the opinion
that some one accidentally saw him bury
the can and as soon as he was gone dug
it up. The can contained is ounces in
gold dust and 500 in coin-about Sil5
in all.

TENNESSEE FINANCES.
Letter from Treasurer MOrrOw-The
State Ready to Pay the Interest ON
its Bonds.

Prom the New York Financier, March 7.
The Treasurer of the State has written
the following letter, dated Feb. p, to a
gentleman of this city:
ssThe State commenced this month pay
ing the interest due in July, having con-
siderable amount of funds on hand, on
which we are getting no interest. We ara
prepared to pay interest on every bond that
has been registered, and on the new or
funded bonds, at a rebate of One-half of one
per cent per month, being same rate the
State pays. With the funds already in
hand, the treasury will, by the last day of
Mayor June, 1t furthest-have every dol
lar in hand necessary TO meet the interest,
and all from the revenue collections proper.
Tennessee finances never seemed so bright
as at present. The people are pleased that
we are about to get straight once more. In
my position, see citizens from every coun-
ty, and no sentiment even submitting toward
reputation could muster enough men
in Tennessee to form a regiment. All
agree that, having started afresh on our new
financial career, there must be no turning
back. / predict that the next Legislature
will be even sOunder on State credit than
the last one.
1T is expected that next week will de-
termine the status of what is known here as
the new issue Bank of Tennessee money.
The case, which is set for next Monday be-
fore our Supreme Court, seeks to make the
Bank of Tennessee receive these notes,
issued by her in 1861, in payment of debts
due the bank. No question is before the
court that affects the revenues of the State.
In fact, there are now enough solvent debts
due the bank (and cash assets) TO absorb
every dollar of the new issue, so that it
could not come in for taxes. The proof
shows that this new issue was not issued
for war purposes, but in the usual way-in
discounts, etc.,-and there is no doubt but
that the bank should take it for its debts.
Thousands of dollars Che amount out
standing is less than S900,0O0) are held by
parties owing the bank, and will be paid in
at once if the question is decided in their
favor.
1.-The assessment of taxable property in
the State for 1873 shows an increase Of
about Sj0,OO0,OO0, while the executive
officer thinks the assessment fOl 1874 will
show an additional increase over 1873 of
S50.0O0,0O0.
"The State will continue to pay interest
before maturity with the discount, at
rate of six per cent. per annum of, so that
if you or your friends have any July cou-
pOns let them send them on at once"

DEFAULTING COLLECTORS.
A United States Collector Of Internal
Revenue 100000 Short in his Ae-

NOEs
From the Louisville Courier-JOurnal, March 10.
The United States Court was engaged
during the greater part of yesterday in try
ing, by three jurors, the case against f. C..
Barnes and his suretieS. Barnes was re-
moved from the position of Collector Of In
ternaI Revenue for the Ninth District of
Kentucky about five years ago, his accounts
then being very heavily in arrears.
Under the old system the assessor listed
all the taxes due TO the Government in his
district, a statement of which he sent on to
Washington and another copy Of the same
he handed to the collector. The collector
was then charged with all the taxes assessed
and he and his sureties were responsible for
paving the same into the Treasury at Wash
ington, except such items as on application
he showed cause for and procured an abate-
ment on.
When Barnes was removed it was thought
that his successor would pay in at least a
large part of the amount standing to the
debit of his predecessor. Such, however,
was not the case, and after long delays the
Government recently forwarded to the pros
ecuting attorney here a detailed statement
of account, showing Barnes a defaulter to
the amount of about Sl25,O00. After al
lowing some Offsets, the jury returned a
verdict for 100000 against him.
Whether the defalcation was the result
of fraud or gross careleSsneSs did not clear
ly appear from the testimony; but, from
whatever cause it may have been, there
arises the pertinent inquiry: If Barnes
was behind hand 100000 in a poor dis
trict in the mountains of Kentucky, what
sort of a showing would he have made III a
weather. field9
In connection with the case of Barnes,
we may remark that a deputy collector
named VIM. 5. Wilhort, who served under
him andhis successor, was, about twoweeks
ago, arrested in Carter county for suspicious
Irregularities. II is charged that he had
been appealing to Washington for the
abatement or remission of assessments, af-
ter the taxes had been paid and were in his
possession.

times insist upon your rights, and here
l mean not only those already accord
ed, but others still denied.
Among the cardinal points Of educa-
ton which must be insisted on must be
equality, side byside, with thealphabet.
It is in vain to teach equality II you do
not practice it. What is lesson without
example? As all are equal at the bal
lot-box. so must ell be equal at the
common school. Equality ii'the COM
mon school is the preparation for
equality at the ballot-box; therefore do
put this among the essentials OF edu-
cation"
In view of the recent brochure OF
Brownlow, it will be seen that he differs
from Sumner toto cello, in regard to the
essentials of education" To con-
clude, the Massachusetts Senator was
man of rare abilities and industry, who
followed the logic of one idea with all
the strength of his nature, utterly re-
CARELESS of the clash of other interests
equally important. His devotlonto the
cause of four million negroes made HIM
often unjust to eight millions of his OWL
race. Intensely one-sided, he
never loosed himself from the
trammels of Massachusetts, ideas, like
Webster, to rise to a broad and national
view Of the future. To his glory be il
said, that he passed through all the
reeking corruption Of the war period
and since, as pure as though he did not
belong to the party of plumber. He
was at least money-honest-a virtue
most rare among the public men of his
party, although according to mora
standards it is the lowest, plainest form
of honesty

HITLER ORDERS AND GRANT


Miss Susan B. Anthony the leader
of the women's rights women, voted for
Grant at the election in 1872, in one of |
the interior counties of New York, for
which she was subsequently, arrested,
sried and fined. Since then the inspec.
tors of elections, who received her vote,
have also been fined, and Miss Anthony
appealed to Ben Butler as to the course
to be pursued in the premises, to which
he returned the following answer:
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
Washington, Feb. %, 1ST4-My dear
Miss Anthony: In regard to the inspec-
tors of election, 1 would not, If L were
they, pay, but allow any process to be
served; and have no doubt the Presi-
dent will remit the fine if they are
pressed too far. l am truly yours,
BENJAMIN F. BUTLER.
In accordance with Ben's advice, the
inspectors continued to "stick" and re-
fused to pay up. And sure enough
Grant has done just what Butler said
he would, pardoned the Inspectors and
RENTED the penalties Remarking on
this transaction, the Bridgeport Farmer
says: Grant and Butler 60 hand in
hand to promote men charged with the
most corrupt practices, and when, here
and there, court convicts some party
of violation'of the law, Butler stands
ready to promise executive pardon.
What a spectacle law-maker In Con-
gress advising resistance to laws he has
himself made, and promising that the
President will step in to aid the law
breakers If they are pressed too far.
1t would be interesting to know just
how far Ben is authorized to 60 in SIM
liar promises and what are the induce
ments which operate to secure his APP
parently supreme control of executive
clemency. He substantially says in
his letter vote early and often for
Grant-get in all the illegal votes you
can, on our side of course, and if any
body arrests you for the violation of
outraged law. resist, and if too hard
pressed the President, by my orders,
will come to your relief. That is the
new gospel of Butler to the scallawags
and frauds of the country"
