GUILTY. of Wr0p0

Some people have fashion of confusing ex-
cellent remedies with the large mass of 'spa-
tent medicines" and in this they are guilty of
wrong. There are some advertised remedies
fully worth all that is asked for them, and one
OF the best we know of-Hop Bitters The
writer has had occasion to use the Bitters in
just such climate as we have most of the
year in Bay City, and has always found them
to be first class and reliable, doing all that is
claimed for them Tribune ap1eodtf

KALLOCH'S LAST.

San Francisco, April 27.-Thc fellow
ing letter to Mayor kalloch is from his
son, who shot DeYOung:
Dear Father-You don't need advice,
l know; but there is an impression ON
my mind stronger, perhaps, tnan any
other, that recent events have SO cleared
away the rubbish that nothing ought to
tie said in public about the color Of past
events, 1t looks to me as if the record
would be made anew and incendiarism
in the future will mark its author. If
the Alta and Chronicle can get folks to
reply TO them they will have kind of
excuse 10 continue the war. 1t will
take two parties to continue the agita-
ton for the benefit Of these two papers.
NY advice IS to the people TO take ca,.e
of themselves. !. NJ. KALLOCH.
To this note Kalloch replied:
fully 81 mpathize with the sentiments
of my son, and had fully determined
on the course he advises. While Chas.
DcYoung was alive I had no other
course than to answer him and his al
lies, and hurl back their aspersions with
all the energy Of which | was capable !;
but lie has gone to his last account, and
gone under such circumstances, so over
whelming and so calamitous to myself
and family, that Oh this account, as vel
as that of The community, have no
more answer to make. NY personal
warfare is ended. NV assassin il laid in
his grave. In that grave bury my re-
venge. shall continue faithfully to do
my duty both as Mayor and min ster,
and leave the future of myself and fam
lily to the favor of God, and the Impair
tiai sentiments Of the people when they
make up their verdict. l have no fear
of what il will be.

SECRETARY SHERMAN.

Philadelphia. April 24.--Secretary
She. man had a general reception to-day
in the Stock Exchange, and in the course
of short speech, said thar since the
Government has an overflow ing treasu-
~ il is necessary to invest the money
on hand. This can only he done in pur-
chasing the public debt, and | simply
propose TO purchase as MANY bonds as
there is money to spare. AT the begin
ming Of this month il was not safe to
buy more than 81 500 900 per week. but
as the receipts have been increasing so
rapidly this month, and as congressior-
al appropriations took but little ont of
the treasury. gave an order last week
to purchase s., 100000 Of bonds. We'd
nesday next win take balances and as
certain what can be done, and then tele-
graph to the suh-treasury in New York
the amount of bonds TO buy in even
millions. II is simply the application Of
y surplus revenue 20 the purchase Of the
pablo debt. Tse main poiu; of the d.
nancial situation is that the public debt
is reduced at the rate Of $40 .00006 .
month. This indicates bounding pros
pcri;v. but rather than this wooid Ike
10 see goods which are imposed here in
Philadelphia TO have abundant revenue.
Il is y better thing 10 have maDafsc-
lures.
The Secrcsass ~ss then introduced
10 the members and escaped 10 che hotel
for dinner. This evening ne visits tbs
Club, and at midnight
cares Tor Washington.

THE FRONTIER COUNTIES.

A correspondent of the Kansas City
Times, writing from Hays City, says
that every indication points to the be
lief that if there is not rain In the next
two weeks there will not be one thous-
and people in Ness, Hodgman, Lane,
TregO, Cove, Wallace, Sheridan and
Graham counties. The Register Of the
United States Land Office at Wa-Keeney
has informed this correspondent that he
is in receipt of at least twenty letters
each mail, daily, from the settlers Of the
above counties, asking permission to
leave their claims, as starvation is star
ing them in the face. The people in
some of these counties are living on
corn meal and wheat bran, and in some
instances chop feed. Single men in hose
counties have almost all left for Colora-
do and the western country. Men hav-
ing families have disposed of what little
stock they had, and, in fact their oriy
team, to buy bread for their little opcs.
Rut few Of the about being organized
counties, there is hence no taxes or poor
fund to assist the poor. The people are
fiocking in to the towns along the rail-
road in large numbers, making their
grievances known, and asking for food.

THE GENEVA AWARD.

The bill for the distribution of the
Geneva award received its quietus in
the Senate on Thursday. BY vote of
thirty-elght yeas to nineteen nays, the
amendment striking out the provisions
for payment of the claims Of underw-i-
tiers was agreed to. That, as Mr.. Thur
man remarked, struck out of the bill
about all it was being pressed TO secure,
and by vote Of thirty-one to twenty
eight the bill was indefinitely postponed.
Mr.. Blaine changed his vote in order to
move to reconsider, so that the bill
might be omitted for revision. But
that motion was laid on the table, which
killed the bill. The resdlt is
that the Government is left with ten
in the treasury which it exact
ed for damages done 10y rebel cruisers,
and which is in excess of all claims for
such damages thus far allowed.
