Tho Report of the Commissioners on the Equali zation of the Municipal War Debts, just published, is, in many respects, a document so extraordinary as to demand a brief exposuro of its numerous errors of statement, and a denial of its many seri ous charges and inuendoes against official as well ad private character. The topic upon which the Commissioners have expended the greater portion of their indignation, virulence and denunciation, relates to the allowance by U. 8. officials, and the distribution by individ ual citizens, of the few hundred of names,” all told, to which they choose to apply the exclusive designation of paper credits.” And it is to that porliou of the Report alone that this review will be confined. Passing over the prefatory remarks of tho Com missioners, in which they seek to intensi|fcr and give a sort of dramatic effect to the observations which follow,—very much in the style of the commence ment of James’ Novels, in which the solitary horseman” makes his inevitable appearance; prefatory remarks, iu which they describe the Army of the Potomac, at a particular juncture, a-; 1\ing panting and exhausted in front of Peters burg whereas in point of fact, it lay securely entrenched arouud Richmond, strong in numbers and confident in its strength, awaitiug Sherman’s co-operative movement to the South, which finally hemmed in and compelled the surrender of Lee’s army, and led to the speedy explosion of the re bellion ;—prefatory remarks, in which the Govern ment is represented as frantically calling for fresh recruits and new regiments, and the men in tho field, in still more frantic tones, as seconding this call fur help whereas in point of fact the ranks of our array, thinned by the fighting from the Rapi dau to tho Appomattox, had already been made good, and no such frantic cry went up from any quarter—fur the uovernment possessed abundant means of supplying all needed re-in force meets, whenever or wherever wanted ;—prefatory remarks in which a crisis” in the war is described as ex isting, rendering the replenishment of the army a question of life and death whereas, in point of fact, no such crisis existed, at least none that a few hundred additional recruits could have ullayed or overcome ;—prefatory remarks in which it is more than intimated that if these few hundred names had been newly enlisted men, the army of the Pot- mao, instead of inactively lying panting" in its entrenchments, would have been so far strength ened by this fresh addition to its numbers, as to have made practicable an immediate successful for ward movement upon the enemy’s works whereas in point of fact, few of the recruits enlisted at that period ever reached the front, but nearly all of them remained inactive in homo camps, and were finally discharged without so much as firing a gun ;—pacing over, we repeat, without further comment, this lugubrious back-ground to the picture drawn by the Commissioners with the view of heightening its effect, and without presenting the fore-ground that really belongs to the picture, show ing, as such fore-ground would, how grateful were these credits” to the delinquent towns over which the dreaded draft was impending, and bow oppor tunely they came to the relief of the State Treasury, then depleted to a point so low as to necessitate a reduction by the Governor of the bounties to three years’ enlisted men from $300 to $100, without law and against law ;—without enlarging up>n the saving to the State of $100 per man on each aud all of these much derided so-called “paper credits”— without, in fine, dwelling upon any of these col lateral matters, let us proceed at once to an analy sis (sentence by sentence) of the more substantive Averments and deductions that follow this highly dramatic preface. The Report says An individual made his ap pearance at the State Capital claiming to have come from Washington, and bringing in his pocket a long list of names, many of them quaint and unpro nounceable by a American tongue, and others so very common as to be remarkable.” How did the Commissioners know that many of the names were quaint and unpronounceable by an American tongue f and others bo very common as to be RKMARKAULK V They never saw the list, and don’t pretend that they ever did. What, then, was their object in thus characterizing the names borne upon it? Was it not to insinuate that they were fictitious, and the “list" a fabricated one? And what foundation had they for this sweeping insinuation? None whatever, as will be shown hereafter me iteport continues :—••All oi wnicn he as serted to be the names of ineu who ha-1 enlisted in the service of the United States at some time since the commencement of the war, and who had not been credited to the quota of any State or muni* cipality.” This language conveys, And was no doubt intended to convey, the impression that the individual alluded to presented a naked list of names, and sought to establish, by bis own unsup ported assertion, the fact that those uames were tho names of men who had enlisted in the service of the United States at some time since the commence ment of the war, and who had not been credited to the quota of any State or municipality. Had the Commissioner* over seen the list they so loosely Comment upon, they would have found ail the essential requisites of enlistment papers, certiGed to by tho proper certifying officers of the lf. 8 they would have found uot ouly the names, but the Jute of eulistmeot and nature and duration of service id each man given with the minuteness common to enlistment papers—they would also have found the further tact certified to, that ail these meu were regulaily enlisted into the U. S. service, and con sequently were properly quotable under the act of Congress (of February, 18( 4)— that they had nut been quotaed to any other State or district; and that they were rightfully quotable to any district or sub-district in the State of Maine. The Heport goes on And these names were offered to the oflicers and recruiting agents of municipalities who were looking for men to fill their quotas and re-enforce the depleted army, and tillering large bnuuties for such men. Rcfore quotas sou Id be ouucullcd by the use of these names the Approval of the proper U. 8. officials must be secured.” These names were never offered to the )fficers ami recruiting agents of municipalities, vrinr to their approval by the proper U. S. officials, ind the statement contained in the Report to that jffeet is simply untrue. The report proceeds “The office of A. A. Provost Marshal General for Maine was then tilled by an honorable gentleman of Maine and an officer of the regular army. To him his remarkable roll was shown and his approval of t solicited. That approval was denied, and pruba dy with some expressions of honest indignation. 'Jot very long afterward this officer was ordered to mother field of duty and his place supplied bv an •nicer troni a estern Mate. Then again appeared it the State Capital the uian with the once rejected ut of names. And henceforward it sterns there was 10 ojfficial veto upon the filling of quotas of cities and nuns with these names. Thus far our statement in elation to these “paper credits” is founded upon he best information we have been able to obtain rom inquiries and the oollatiou of many statements oluntarily made to us by persons having more or oss tneaus of knowing the facts as they occurred. For the absolute correctness of the s 'ate meat we do riot >ouch/* If the foregoing paragraph has any significance rhatever, it means to insinuate that Maj. (lardiner ras got out of the way because of his alleged re action of the “list” in question, and “an officer rom a Western State,” (Maj Littler) sent bore to ill his place, with the expectation that be would evise and reverse the decision of his predecessor —and that this change was brought about by the nfluenoe or through the machinations of persons nuneaicd iu the allowance at this class of credits riie one officer is characterized as an “honorable gentleman” (which is true)—and the other, by ufeieuoe at ioa«t, as a dishonor able man (o! which there is no evidence.) The latter named officer is also held up as responsible f r the allowance of credits once rejected by hi-* predecessor, and is, by Inuondo, represented as acting corruptly in the premises, arid oh being conspicuously connected with a “transaction” which the report is pleased to denounce as “wrong and iniquitous Wo pause here for breath We will not under take to comment upon the manifest impropriety on the part of the commissioners of travelling jis they have done out of the record if not out of ther lim ited jurisdiction, to assail the character and censure the conduct of a federal officer, (whose loss f an arm in the service attests his patriotism and gal lantry at least, and ought t«> shield him from unjust aspersion,) especially for acts done in the discharge of his appropriate official duties. Nor will we stop to enlarge upon the singular spectacle of a State Commission, whose duties wore entirely local and chiefly clerical, undertaking to revise, reverse, criti cise, consure and denounce the doings of an U. S. offi cer for acts falling within the limits of his conceded sphere of duties; as though the local commission in question, instead of the United States authorities, were the proper tribunal before whom he should he arraigned and tried for “high crimes and misde meanors,” real or fancied But let us proceed at once to examine into the truth or falsity of the statements contained in the above cited portion of the very “remarkable” Keport of our somewhat presumptuous Assumption Commissioners. In the first place it is not true that Maj. Gardi ner denied bis approval of the “remarkable list” in question, when first presented to him; on the oentrary, after an examination of the official signa tures to the certificates appended to the “list,” pro nounced them genuine, and permitted aoino 20 or 30 “names” to be quotaed. Subsequently however, Mnj. G. caused those names to be stricken off, re making that he preferred to consult the authorities at Washington iu reference to the whole matter, lie accordingly forwarded the “list” to Washington asking for iinstructions in the premises In the course of a few weeks this “remarkable list” came back, bearing upon it a written endorsement by Provost Marshal General Frye, with peremptory ordors to the A. A. Provost Marshal General of .'Itime to quota. Maj. Gardiner had given piece to Major Littler meanwhile; so the papers came into the possession of the latter. Thus it will be j seen that the liet was not “rejected” by Maj. Gardiner, but simply his approval withheld, awaiting orders from Washington. It wiil also he seen that what the report says ah ut the “reap pearance of the man with the cnee rejected list,” and about there being “no official veto hencefor ward upon the filling of quotas,” is purely a fancy sketch, entirely destitute of foundation. The “man from Washington” did not reappear for tho reason that he remained in Augusta all the while; and the Itst itself never left the jxtsaesnvn of the federal officials from the moment of its jtresenta- j lion tA hat of its final allowance. Tho paities connected with this “remarkable list” had! ne more to do with the displacement of Maj. Oardi-' ner than the author of this “remarkable” Report, j or the “inan in tho moon;” nor was it possible (from the inconsequential character, politically con- j sidered, of all the persons interested in the “list”) that they should have exerted any influence, di- j rectly or indirectly, upon Provost Marshal G»*n. j Frye to obtain the decision he made in the premises. It will likewise be seen that the change in the office of A. A Provost Marshal of Maine had uo influence whatever upon the question of tho rejection or allowance of the “list;” ar.d that Maj Littler had no discretion whatever in the premises, as Maj Gardiner would have had none had he re mained in office, but to allow these credits. And hence the insinuation that had Maj. Gardiner re- J niained here instead of giving place to Maj Littler. the result would have been totally diderent, is entirely groundless. Now if the commissioners considered it a part of! their duty, as they seem to have done, to invest!-! gate the doings of federal officers in the matter of! tilling quotas, and of tho connection of private citizens therewith, it must be confessed that they were singularly unfortunate in their efforts to obtain correct information upon those points. They do not appear to have solicited information from any body possessing any personal knowledge of tho transactions into which thoy wished to inquire, but relied wholly upon “rumor” and the crude state ments volunteered by loquacious but uuiuformed iudviduals. Hail they been earnest and faithful seekers after the truth, they uiigtit have supplied themselves with reliable information on the subject j either by inquiry of parties possessing a knowledge of the matter, or by an examination of the testi mony taken before the Investigating Committee of the Legislature of 18t»6, then on file in the office of the Secretary of State. Had they sought light from proper quarters they would have saved them selves from the unpleasant task of making the humiliating confession that they culd not v m h for the correctness of statement*, upon the assumed truth of which they had rested their charge* and insinua tion* of fraud and corruption. lint the most singular pait of this most singular report remains to bo noticed. In the teeth of the Confession just made, that they would not Touch lor the correctness of the “statements’’ retailed by themselves as veritable history, they do virtually vouch for then correctness in their concluding remarks upon this branch of the subject, when they de nounce *tthe whole transaction” as “wrong and iniquit ous," and affirm that “ the front in season to have facilitated a “forward movement,” or to have rendered feasible any other unessayod exploit on the pa* t of our forces And as to the **unpleasant account" that the “active” or “passive participates' in this “transaction" may have to “settle with their wn consciences,” they will endeavor to effect such settlement without soliciting absolution from accusers who prefer grave charges upon the strength of baseless ruumrs and unavouched volunteer statements, and deal in iuueudoes us slanderous as they ate gratuitous and unjust. Look again at the whole statement of the Com missioners touching this branch of the subj-ot. What information do they impart I)o they any where tell you what these so-called paper credits” wore, or what they purported to bo? Do they tell you in what arm of the service the men were enlisted, or purported to have been enlisted? Do they tell you under aiiat act ut emigre#*, or by what authority they were legitimate* credits, or were claimed to bo such Do they toll you by whoso sanction they wero quotaed, or under what pretended sanction they were claimed to have been quotaed Do they tell you of a single fact by which you can form the slightest idea in reference to their character or legitimacy Not one, from first to last. On the contrary, there is a studied reticence—an evident attempt at a concealment of all the facts essential to an understanding of the ease -calculated, if not designed to create the impres •ion that the*'names’* in question represented nobody in the service—that they were fabricated by some body—and that they were dishonestly and c. rrupt ly allowed, without the slightest pretence of law or legitimate authority. And the whole conduct of (two at least) of the Commissioner?,* during their year’s session, was of apiece with the character of their Keport. They did much to foment the exi.-t *These strictures are n -1 Intended to be applied to Mr. IUnc, ah far ar from some other cause— t" be credited to the J-tato of Maiuc, or to any district or sub-district therein. ■P> The names borne upon this list certified to as aforesaid, (which was presented by the parties hav ing charge of if, to the A. A. Provost Marshal Gen. of Maine, and by him sent to Washington for directions whether to allow or disallow it) was by Pro. Mar. lion Frye directed to be credited to the £tate of Maine, or auv district or sub-district there of, according to the m astaring-in-ruil aud certificate of tlie officials of rho marine corps. These marine enlistments w^re subsequently credited to various municipalities in this State by the Acting Assistant Provost Marshal of Maine, in conformity to positive orders from bead-quarters. 7 It was precisely at this point that, the respon sible connection of those the Commissioners call the passive concenters" to the transaction,” com menced. With Auything occurring prior to this point of time they had no responsible connection. They purchased these credits, or a portion of them, of tho party owning or having charge of the list, at a stipulated price per mau, averaging perhaps some $273 for 1 and 3 years men indiscriminately, and e dd thorn out to the agents of various muni cipaiities for perhaps an average of $100 per man— making a profit of some $25 per man—using how ever no deception in reference to the character of the men, while representing them as good, legal credits, and guaranteeing that they should fill the quotas of such municipalities, and remaiu to their undisturbed credit. t> iuu men do credited did oil the quotas of tue respective municipalities which purchased thorn— saved them from tho impending draft, and remain to their undisturbed credit to this hour 0. There was no thought or expectation on either side of a future Stats* bounty and if by subsequent legislation the State has chosen to discriminate be tween quotas legally filled, and give b .unties only to native enlistments—-or if it had choosen to give bounties only to red-whiskored recruits—it is uot perceived how tho persons who sold the men dis criminated against, were or would have been in any way xe*pon»ible for the event. 10. It is submitted whether the parties who bought and sold these credits had not a right to assume that they were proper and legitimate, ou the strength of tho simple fact of their allowance by the U. S. official* referred to? And if so, wherein consists tho iniquity or wrong” of their con nection with the transaction The Commission ers do not undertake to toll wherein. Can anybody else tell wherein So grave a charge ought to be accompanied by specifications, or at least to bo sus ceptible « municipalities, w ith the sanction of such high authority If not, then in what other respect was the “transaction” “wroug” or “iniquitous?” The Commissioners do not deign to tell us, but eonteut themselves with general charges, which can only be met by general denial. These charges and inuendoes, all and singular, we pronounce to be totally destitute of foundation iu fact; and affirm, on U half «f the private individuals connected with the »ra’ aucti n. that fbere w.i* nothing i;< thtk conduct, from fi.'si to last, meriting public reprehension, or contravening the most rigid rules of law or ethics.

All of these three medicines are often requirtxl in coring i Consumption, though the Pulmonic Syrup alone has cured many desperate cases. The Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills assist in «rgulatiug the Stomach and Liver, and help the Pulmonic Syrup to digest and search through the blood vessels, by which means a cure is soon effected. These medicines are conscientiously offered to the public as the only safe, certain and reliable remedies for Pul monary Consumption, and for all those morbid conditions of the body which lead t« that fatal disease. Liver Com plaint and Dyspepsia are often forerunners of Consump i tion, and when they manifest themselves they require the most prompt attention. The Pulmonic Syrup is a medicine which has had a I long probation before the puhtic Its value has lieen proved by the thousands of cures it has made through a period of more titan thirty-five years, in all of which time its reputation has constantly iucreaaed, and the mc cured, If his lungs are not too much wasted to make a cure pussi ble. Kven in cases *upj>oeed to he incurable, when friends and physicians have despaired, the use of this medicine has saved the life of the patient, and restored him to per i feet ht alth. Dr. Schenck himself was cured in precis* ly such cir cumstances, and many others have been equally fortunate by judiciously making a timely use of Dr. Schenck’s remedies. Dr. Schenck d'>es not say that all cases of Pulmonary Consumption are within the reach of medicine, but he emphatically asserts, that often when patieuts have the most alarming symptoms, such as a violent cough, creeping chills, night sweats, and general debility, even to such a degree that they are obliged to li« in bed, and when they are given up by their physician, they may still be cured. No medical treatment can create new lungs, but when the lungs are very badly diseased and to some extent de stroyed, a cure! may be effected by Dr. Hchenck’s mod Also, in Scmfufi us diseases these medicine* are equally efficient. Dr Bcbeuek has photographs of a number of persons who have been nearly covered with running sores, and now all healed up. This shows its purifying properties, which must be done to heal cavities in the lungs. In the treatment of Consumption, It is of the utmost importance to give vigor and a health tone to the system, li* nee it is necessary to strengthenthe appetite of the patient and improve the digestion. Proper nourishment is required, together with such mean us will make the food easily digestible. Tbe articles most suitable for the diet of consumptive patients are designated in Dr. Schenck’s Almanacs, which are distributed gratuitously. In general, the most highly nutritious articles an* to be preferred but the digestive organs must be strengthened iu order to make either f*>od or medicine serviceable. This requirement Is met by the Sea Weed Tonic, and for this i rmmose it was designed. I nnenilie digestive powrrs urr yui. III I food has its proper effect, the system of the patient is In vigorated, snd the lungs begin to exercise their functions in a normal and healthy maimer. Then the healing powers of the Pulmonic Syrup will complete the cure. lhilmonary Consumption is almost always complicated with Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint. Sehenck s Man drake Pills are Intended to remove obstructions from tna liver and restore its healthy action.
