IT is given out from Washington that
the Commissioners of the Freedman's
Savings Bank have 100000 in the Uni
ted States Treasury, but that it will re-
quire 5000, 900 to pay dividend of 20
per cent. There is no probability that
the other 5000, 900 will be raised so as to
make this first dividend, and the $780,
900 will be principally eaten up in ex-
penses, during the period of delay, tits
also stated that some depositors are SELL
ing their bank books at ten cents on the
dollar, preferring that to wait any longer
and run further risks. The depositors
may indeed consider themselves fortu-
nate if they gette cents on the dollar for
their deposits. The probability is that
they will lose all, for there are numer-
Gus debts of the institution that take pre-
cedence of the sums due to depositors.
There may come time when the men
who have so wronged the Freedmen will
be brought to account, and compelled to
disgorge. Let depositors cease to petit
ton Congress in relation to reimburse
ment for their losses, and ascertain just
who were the secret managers of the
concern, and bring their actions against
them for recovery. The law affords
them ample remedies against the men
who have wronged them, if they can as

the Greece war, and that his metallic
treasures alone amounted to $3,G00,000.
So far was Xerxes from needing this
tempting supply, that he gave him as a
reward of his generosity as many daries
az made the entire amount equal to
E4OOO00O00.
Croesus, as all know, is but another
name for wealth, the amount Of which
we may form some idea of from the val
ue of his presents to the Delphir Oracle,
G3,000,000, and which were to be seen
there in Herodotus time.
1t is needless to accumulate facts ofthe
vast amount of wealth possessed by indi-
viduals at those distant periods. Every
page of history, every explored ruins Of
the East, every great monument of anti
guilty, bear evidence of the vast treas
ures possessed by those who would thus
perpetuate their names. This was one
cause of the concentration of treasure.
Solomon himself, although he built the
Temple of Jerusalem under the direction
of God, was only one of the monarchs,
who would send down their names to
posterity by such evidences Of their
greatness.
The cause of this accumulation of me-
tallic wealth in Asia, whilst other por-
tions of the world were comparatively
poor, may be traced to the commerce of
Eastern nations, which even to this
day inclines the balance of trade in their
favor.
We would also upon the fact that gold
and silver were not diffused by coinage as
at this day. 1t was not unusual then to
detach from the larger mass of metal
what the occasion needed. With c;rcu-
lating medium of legalized coinage, it
would have been impossible for Babylon
Jerusalem, Ecbatana and Persepolis to
gather into their treasures such vast
riches. They would, like Santalus' cup,
have eluded their grasp. B,

THE Philadelphia Inquirer, a Repub-

Radical, loyal. thieving Office holders
and office seekers "Men who bear the
brunt of battle-who take their lives in
their hands, ready to die for country, an
idea or cause-are magnanimous as
they are heroic. When the fight is end
ed the animosity is also ended with
them, They do not attempt to belittle
either the motive or the courage Of men
who faced the muzzle of their guns for
four bloody years. They leave that sort
ofwork for the home guards, partisan
editors and place ndspoil-hunting Con-
gressmen.

A few DAYS since the Democratic Com.

A few days since the Democratic Com
mittee of Henry county met and adopted
She delegate convention plan of making
nominations, abandoning the popular
vote system that had been in vogue there
for some years. The reason for the
change is the expense to Candidates-the
acrimony and bitterness engendered, and
the fact that often times when several
candidates are running for nomination
the man nominated gets but plurality,
possibly only tenth or so of the votes.
In delegate convention much, or all of
this, is avoided. In the latter, each
nominee must secure majority of the
delegates. These are points worthy of
consideration.

just met his deserts. The jury in the
case of Isaac Brandt, former State Treas

the amount embezzled at one thousand

a Royal Organ.

The stomach has been well named a ''royal
oIgan," since it sways and controls the entire
system, every gland, tissue and nerve sympa-
thizing with it as the servants OF prince SYM
pathize with their master. Each one of them
IS fed and sustained by it-even the brain itself
the centre of sensation, is absolutely dependent
upon 1t for sustenance. Consequently, when
the stomach fails to perform its alI-important
Office the subordinate organs also falter in their
duty. The reason why Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters have such a wonhrousIy beneficial effect
upon the general health, and are such a relia-
bic preventative OF disease is that they speedily
overcome weakness or disorders of the stomach,
and thus insure complete nourishment of the
entire system and a healthful performance of
Its various functions. Unlike those stimulants
whose alcoholic principle is unmodified by ju-
dlcious medication, the spirituous basis of these
Bitters which is of the purest description, holds
in solution herbal alternatives and invigorants
to which a foremost rank has been assigned in
materia medica. But it is not alone the fact
that these sovereign botanic elements enter into
the composition of the Bitters that constitutes
them such benign tonic and corrective, but
also that they are SO happily combined that the
full effect of each is exerted upon the disordered
or debilitated system. The digestive and secre-
efcent operation, which extends, by sympathy,
To the brain, the nerves and the circulation.
The influence thus eXerted is fruitful of those
great sanitary results which have built up the
reputation of this truly wonderful medicine.

spelling at the Public School on last Fri
day afternoon, but we are informed that
before recess the boys missed twice as
many words as the girls. Some few
missed every word that was given them.
After recess they spelled down, and in
half an hour only seven or eight were
left on each side. These did well, but
they continued to fall, one by one, until
all were ont except Flora Dickson and
Thomas Jones, one on each side. Final
ly the word "leser" was missed by Miss
Dickson and spelled by Tommy. The
boys raised shout, as it was their first
victory There was determination in the
countenanees of the girls. The boys
went up street, held jollifcation, end
