Mr.. DAWES recently made a speech
in Congress in which he exhibited "the
,sreally astonishing condition of the
''public revenues Among other
astonishing things in his speech-in
fact, it is spoken of as a startling rev.
elation, his aliusion to the ha-
bitual 'fviolation of the. laws for tex
tingujshment of the national debt" 1t
appears that rat no time have secreta-
RIGS offthe treasury observed these
laws" Mr.. Dawes showed that call
the secretaries jhave violated these
fundamental statutes" in ways which
he pointed out. But why should
these violations of the laws by the
servants whose function is to execute
them, be regarde as ttassonishings or
Jas "ststtling 2IHs; :, With an executive
wholly irresponsible TO the lawmak
ing body, what elss should Mr.. Dawes,
or any other man, expect but viola
ton aud disregard of the Jaws when
the irresponsible executive may wish
to violate or disregard them?

Last Tuesday evening the people of
Garrettyiile made a donation visit to
Rev. j, w. Davis, pastor of the Baptist
church, which occurred at the .parson-
age in the afternoon and at Buckeye
Hall in the evening. The occasion
passed off very pleasantly and was
much enjoyed by all present.
The good pastor was make glad by
the handsome sum of S1l0 in gifts; of
which $40 was in cash. The worthy
pastor who was the happy recipient
of the good will of so many upon this
occasion, has been the pastor of this
church for the last two years, and
during that time has made many warm
and lasting friends. The energy and
zeal which has characterised his efforts
in the cause in which he is engaged
has won for him many laurels.
Last Thursday evening Will Carlton
made his appearance before us again
at Concert Hall. He presented an

On Friday evening the long talked
of Calico Dress Ball came off at Buck
eye Hall. Calicos seemed to be the
prominent feature of the occasion
which was extended far into the wee
sma' hours. Eighty couple were in
attendance. All went away pleased
with the events of the occasion, hoping
for an opportunity to return again to
a similar entertainment. Miller &
Farr's orchestra, of Mantua, furnished
the music.

why the war Il Not Investigated
The Chicago Times recently had =
long and able article under the above
caption from which We copy the fol-
lowing: r" The war left
the country in the lands Of = crowd
of men who had made Tho most of
the opportunities il presented. Some
had won military fame without pass
ing under the sol 10 receive their
crowns Of glory. Grant was the chief
product OF the accidents Of the war in
this line. Jay Cooke, Clews, and that
horde of adventures, had secured the
money. The issue OF. the war was
satisfactory to both classes, and there
was nothing in the past which they
desired to have disturbsd. They
wanted it let alone. Investigation
could do them NO good, and could be
instituted only at their peril; hence
no Investigation was had. They were
wiser than Beocher. An inquiry into
the conduct of the war would be as
disastrous to the regulations of many
leading patriots in the military and
civil service ~ the great scandal trial
is to the fame Of the principals con-
nected with it.. These men gained
such an ascendsncy during the war,
and their power through accumula-
tions OF money was SO great, that
they nave maintained their hold upon
the nation for ten years of peace. One
consequence is that all the powers OF
the government have, during these
ten years, been devoted to pcrpetu-
ating the errors and wrongs of the
war, while they should have been de-
voted to correcting abuses and restor-
ing perfect tranquility. ...h

pretty generally discussed At the meet
ing. but so far as the proceedings are
reported we fail to discover any SUBJ
stantial argument in its favor. 1t is
an insult to the Intelligence of q very
large portion of the people of the sew

them as was done by several of the

MR.. BEEoHER WILL PROBABLY be CALLED TO THE
STAND To.DAy--A LONG EXAMINATION PREDICT
ED--THE PLAINTIFFS RESERVE OF WITNESSES.
[From the N. Y. Times, To-day
To-day the public interest in the Tilton Beech
er case which somewhat abated toward the
close Of the plaintiffs evidence, will be enlarged
by the probability that. on the termination of
Gen. Tracy's opening address, Henry Ward
Beecher will be placed upon the stand to testify
in his own behalf. His examination will proba-
bly, prove prolonged and severe one. With his
own story, it is commonly thought, his case for
the jury stands or falls
The course OF counsel on both sides up to the
present has naturally been to conceal from out
side persons as far as possible their line OF de-
lonse or prosecution. Gen; Tracys argument
has afforded some slight index to the character
Of the defense. He began by claiming that the
prosecution was conspiracy begun by Tllton
and Bowen. and continued by Tilton and Moul,
ton. From various points OF view he directed
the attention of the jury to the testimony point
ing to such a state OF affairs. He then asserted
that Tilton had told Bowen that Beecher
had improperly solicited Mrs. Iiton, and
did not charge adultery that he told the same
story to Moulton and Oliver johnson, and
claimed that the charge of adultery was not
made by Tilton until the Bacon letter. In his
lengthy address to the jury Gen. Tracy failed
to produce that deep impression which is usual
iy made by finished speaker. His monotonous
style, his unsympathetic voice, and the apathy
Of his reading, all initiated against him.
matter OF some Importance to the public is
the probable evidence to be produced by the
plaintiff in rebuttal of the defendants case In
lis opening, Gen. Tracy declared that Tilton did
not dare to produce the artist Frank B. Carpen-
ter az witness, as his evidence would blast the
plaintiff case 1t is supposed that the plain
uns counsel are simply reservng Carpenter for
their principal witness in rebuttal. The publ-
