STATE BOARD OF EXAMINERS.
Mr.. Pendegast presented majority
report from the Committee on Judi
ciary, to whom was referred the SEN
ate resolution of inquiry in the matter
ofthe State Board of Examiners, which
was ordered printed. By the terms OF
the resolution the committee were in
structed to answer two questions, as
follows: a~,s..
'sFirst-What amount Of money, if
any, has the present Board of Exam
liners, and each member thereof, drawn
from the treasury as payment, or
salary, for services as members OF SAID
SHSecond-If any moneys have been
so drawn, was the act of said officers
in drawing and receiving the same in
conformity to the Constitution and
laws of this State, or otherwise?
In reply to the first of these ques-
lions, the committee present q COM
munication from the Controller, show
ing that Newton Booth had drawn
$l,4l6 65; Drury Malone, $1,4l6 s.;
and ]. l.. Lowe, SO, lbs 90.
The majority of the committee then
give a long statement of their views
on the subject, quoting freely from
the laws of the State in support OF
their position, and close their report as
fOllows:
1--WE are conducted by our reasoning
to the following results, and from them
we can but say that We perceive no
logical methods of escape.
nFirst-At the commencement of
the terms of the present Governor,
Secretary of State and Attorney-Gen-
eral, the statute of 1858 was In force,
In SO far as it imposed upon those
officers the duties of a Board of Exam
iners &CsA w EtUIttsaA
"Second-That it was competent for
the Legislature to import those duties
upon the officers named at the time
said law was passed.
aThird - That the present officers,
when they became Governor, Secre-
tary of State and General,
respectively, also became members OF
the Board of Examiners, and became
as fully bound to perform the duties OF
said Board as to perform other duties
pertaining to their respective offices;
and that they could have been COM
pelled to perform said duties by writ
b Of mandamus, in case they had refused
or neglected to do so. ON.
"Fourth That the section OF the
statute of 1858, which provided com'
pensation for such services, was re-
peated by the act of 1851, and that by
other terms in said act of 1861, those
duties We're made aconsequent OF theii
offices in chief, without compensation.
"Fifth-That the act OF May lst
1872 part of Political Code), did not,
and under the Constitution could not
provide for the salary to the then and
now incumbent Board of Examiners

4 Cry of Wolf.

Al. EdttoT Il noticed in the Advertiser of
Saturday charge that Mr.. Milliken's friends
would attempt to carry the c2ucuses in this city,
calling Democrats to their aid.~For many years
Mr.. Milliken has been merchant in this city
and in all these years have never heard it IN
timated that he was otherwise than an honora-
BILE and highminded man whose word is as
good as his note venture to say that in all
these years no man has accused him of mean
act or being party to one. Why then accuse
him of this? Has he left business and turned
politician for the rest of his life and taken to
promise-making and cheating as the means of
success? cannot believe this, and knowing
the course pursued by Mr.. Milliken's friends do
know that the declaration is false. Undoubt-
eddy this cry of wolf is either intended to
cover the show of aid Mr.. BOWS leaders expect
from this source or is intended to forestall the
defeat of the opposition to Mr. Milliken in this
city by assigning a cause in advance in order
that they may let themselves down easily.

Current Notes.

The New York Mail advocates the claims
of Columbia College to be the nucleus OF the
new national university. That comes OF the
Saratoga regatta.
The New York Post makes 4 strong plea
for better acquaintance with the states OF
South America in order to secure their vast
and growing trade.
The Boston Journal Of Commerce will not
hereafter give the quotations of gold, but the
greenback as the ruling rate of discount.
Correct.
The Boston Commercial Bulletin is a
reliable paper, but it slightly surprises us
when it announces The sale of the Portland
PRESS.
The Boston Adrertizer says in view OF the
elections in North Carolina and Tennessee:
1T is to be expected that the Democratic
journals and politicians of this section will
make much of these southern victories, and
interpret them as a verdict of the southern
states upon those features of the Republican
national administration that are most critl-
cised at the North. They are in fact nothing
of the kind, but simply and only demonsira-
ton of the southern Democracy against the
cardinal Republican doctrine OF equal rights.
That the northern Democracy rejoice in these
successes is an indication that it is still, in
spite of Cincinnati and Baltimore, the ally CT
the negotiating aristocracy of the South,
determined as strongly as ever to prevent
the constitutional amendments from being
operative in their full force and vigor as
guarantees of the political and civil privileges
of the weaker race.
The Springfield Republican thinks that the
grange movement will justify its existence
from its effects in rescuing railroads from the
reckless assumption Of debts. The legislation
OF the oranges which attempts 10 regulate thu
tariffs of western roads is met by the state
ment of the companies that they cannot pa.
the interest on their bonds. To this th'
| farmers and their courts answer: "Yol
ought not to have assumed such debts AM
undertaken to pay so heavy interest. You
have issued bonds at high rates of interest
and at 20 and 30 per cent. below par, not t.
build the road, but to enrich the ring OF con
tractors and projectors. You thought
would all come out right, but we farmer
can't live and pay the freight rates demande'
by such extravaganza. And we won't"
The Portland daily press., 1874-08-10

Two New York journals, the World and
the Utica Herald, are advocating a division
of the State, proposing to make a separate
state Of New York, King, Queens, Richmond,
Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Put
nam, Duchess, Ulster, Sullivan, Green and
Columbia counties. The World urges the
division because New York city bears an I'M
due proportion of the financial burdens of the
state, because it is not properly represented
in the legislature, and because it is governed
from Albany. The Utica paper urges it be-
cause of the undue influence of the metropo-
lis in state affairs, and because of the disre-
gard of the claims Of the rural districts there
by engendered Both journals advance as an
argument the increased representation in the
United States Senate given to New York by
the division.

Is Your Stomach Uneasy

Many dyspeptic Cr4sus would be willing, it is
said, to give half his wealth for an easy stomach If
this is fact why do any of solid men, continue
to endure the pangs of Indigestion? Is it not patent
to the whole community that Hostetter's Stomach
Btters will cure the worst of chronic dyspepsia
in six or eight weeks? No occasion for the expendi-
ture Of half fortune; few dollars will suffice to
accomplish the object. Surely every who is not
'sand blnd to the great uttarian facts of the day
must know that this celebrated vegetable specific
promptly relieves all diseased conditions of the stom-
ach. liver bowels and nervous SYSTEM restores their
vgor and imparts regularity to their functions. Is
your epigastrium uneasy? Is the vulture, disease,
gnawing at your liver? If SO, resort at once to the
Bitters.
