"THE PliA-ATiTME LA'ATV-
The officer--Capt. Hunter, at Grenada,
Mississippi who sent the telegraphic warn
ing to Gov. BrSwnlow of the intende'plot1
for hi assassination, sends word that he has,
arrested the snspccteu' party.
It is also announce4 that Gen. Thomas
ha ordered him to be brought to this city
for trial. The action of Gen. ThosiAs Is
perfectly proper, and if there be lega'i and
sufficient proof of the fact, the miscreant
should nurTer. Crime and the subornation
of crime should be promptly punished.
But vre must be permitted to say that we
still believe the investigation will show that
a great fire has been kindled from the mere
scmblanco of a spark. Titos Oates turned
a nation crazy with a story of his "pla-ats,"
and was whipped to death at the tail of a
cart afterward for tho mischief he had'
done.
THE COURTS OX CONJ-'EDEItATE
CURRENCY.
"We learn from the Fayettevillc papers
that Chancellor Steele, at the term of the
Chancery Court just closed at that place,
decided upon a case before him : .
lit. -That ths-payment by parties of Confed
erate Treasury notes Into the oflice of the Cleric
and -Master was illtgal and raid, and therefore no
payment; -although they may have, by to doing,
taken up their octet. Quite a number of judg
ments were rendering against inch parties, and
they will now bo required to pay the amount of
their CoU over again in legal eunwy.
2d. That the decrees of the former Chancellor
ordering tho Clerk and Master either to roccii o
monies duo the oEco in Confederate Treasury
notes, or to invest the same In the Bonds of tho
Confederate Government, were abiolutdv toid.
The effect of this decision is to relieve the Clerk
and Master from all responsibility in rcforenco to
the payment of this character of money into his
office.
A XXNFORTUNI-
By reason of death of Judge Coi-tajier,
of Vermont, a Senator from that State, the
Governor appointed a Judge Poland in his
Btcad. Ho exhibits his unfitness to fill the
place of his able and judicious predecessor
by having offered the following proposed
amendment to the Constitution :
"Article. No person who has been, or shall
be, willingly engaged in rebellion against tho
United States shall excrciso the elective franchise,
or iiold any office under tho authority of tho
Unlxd States.
"Article. Congress shall have power to pass
all uVfrs n eceesary to enforce the forcguing article."

The New York Journal ofs Commerce says
tkat what the country needs is a distinct
drawing of the line between the supporters
oftle President and the supporters of the
Radical disunionits. It is no day for men
to.ausUin mere political gamblers, who have
no interest in tho great questions of the day
except to preserve their own power and dis
tribute the spoils of office. It is the duty of
every voter to demand of the candidato who
asks hit vote, " Will you sustain the princi
ples of the President's veto message, or will
you sustain tho doctrines which in that
message he txmdemns T"- The President, of
course, desires (he defeat of every candidate
who refuses t stand by him, and at this
time neglect is equivalent to refusal.
The Chicago Republican, (edited by Mr.
Danij late Assistant Secretary of War;), and
representing the decided Radical men of the
Northwest, thus opens its leading article on
Saturday. It is not worso than tho Chicago
Tribune, Washington CJironidc, New York
Tribune, and the Radical press generally:
"Br Y not Dsxkivep. Wo have no contro
versy with those honest souls who trek to console
themselves wlth'lho idea that the President hni
net abandoned his party and its principle. If
they can find comfort in the prolongation offuch
aa illusion, we shall not attempt to dixturli their
tranquility; nor indeed could any surhji'i uttcmpt
avail much. lie who ean think Mr. Jolnuor. a
Republican alter the events of the Inst fortnight,
must be endowed with a degree of trustfulness and
hopefulness which uotblug short of the licit trump
et could derange."
The Washington correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune, writing of therirctimtanrca
attending the appearance of the President's
veto message, Bays :
"On Saturday and Sunday tho current reports
that a veto was impending, grow mora and more
positive. Still the calamity they portended was
too awful to secure them general credence."
This is a person absolutely gone mad. His
folly is equal to that of That!. Stevens.,
who trembled af an earthquake the other
day. The veto has not hurt any one. Tho
fiecdmen aro as well protected as they would
have been if the vetoed bill had become a
law. What is there too "awful" for con
contemplation in that?
Tnn dirty traduccw of Isham G. Harris
few in number, and generally interlopers
are circulating a rumor that his friends arc
making strong efforts with the Government
to necure his pardon, in order that he may
return to Tennessee. If the report was true,
it would be creditable to hifriend. But
so far from being true, the jv!5 and children
of Gov. Harris have applied to the proper
authorities for permission to leave tho coun
try and join their lunband and father at
Cordova.
Fletciieu, in hit recent proclamation,
says that " emigrants will shun a State in
such confusion and discredit" as Tcnneseee.
Perhaps not. We once heard of a persistent
office-seeker, like the Secretary, who re
ceived a letter from a hopeful son in Illinois,
urging his father, by all means, to immigrate
to that State, adding " mighty mean men
get office here."
Tnn Radicals in Congress very graciously
propose to declare Tcnncwca a State in the
Union! As she was admitted into the Union
in 1796, and has not been out since, unless
her act of secession was valid, it follows that
the Radical resolution cither recognizes the
legality and rightfulness of State secession,
or Is a work of entire supererogation.

Tennessee and Missouri arc the mast mis
governed States in the Union. The Gover
crnor of Missouri Is named Fletcher, and the
Governor of Tennessee is a Fletcher.
Coi Stokes, on the eve of his departure
from oar city, was presented with a cane by
his Radical friends as one "who loves the
brethren." We respectfully suggest that
Duggan ought to have one for the same
reason.
Gov. Fletcher calls his scheme to raise
a regiment under a commission from the
Confederate authorities and then desert to
the Federals, a ruse. Wondor what Duggau
would call Ids little affair, if interrogated ?

DOES IT 3f FAX?
Just before the departure of Senator Fow
ler and Col. Bill Slokcs for Washington, the.
following strange article made its appear'
ance in the Samner-Stevens organ of this
city. The closing Kcntence is very sensa-,
tional. What does it all mean ?
Two Coxoitrssns A Piioblem toe
Politic! '.sb. In connection with the ques
tion of restoration, a question of the very
highest importance may arise at the meeting
of the next (XLth) Ccngreaas to what or
ganization cmiilitulcs. Congress"' For an ex
planation ofyhejdifficulty which may possi
bly arise, it may be premised that there arc
thuty-seren Stale i in the Union, of which
ticety-sii are represented and eleven are un
represented In Congress.
There are in the Senate forty Unionists
Mid elatn Democrats. In the House of Kep
refscntatives'thcre are one hundred and forty
fee Unionists and forty Democrats. The
eleven Democratic Senators, with the ttventy
ico Senators elect from the insurrectionary
Stales, make thirty-three Senators, and the
forty Democratic Representatives elect from
the insurrectionary States, make ninety-eight
Representatives.
Now, if the Democratic Conercssmcn
phonld meet at Washington and determine
to organize a Senate and House of Repre
sentatives in conjunction with- the Congress
men elect from the insurrectionarv States.
they would constitute a Senate of thiriy-tliree
members, and a House of ninety.-eight mem
bers, ine two Congresses would then stand
as follows:
Old Congress.-.,,....-. - 385
A ew toncress-....-...?.........,.-j"...-"--; 131
making a inojority inTavor'of the oldTt.'el,
the present Congress) of fiiftv-four members.
If, however, a deduction bo made of half a
dozen soft Union Senators, and say three
times that number of Union Represcnta-,
lives, the two Congresses will stand as fol
lows:
Old Congress . 101
New Congress-.. . ............. i..155
Making a majority of only six members
for the old (or present) Congress.
Now, snppoe the President-sees fit to
send in his message to the new Congrpss
containing the members from the insur
rectionary fetates, what will be the re
sult? Suppose that the potent infill
enccs and patronage - which -may be
brought to bear in various quarters
should make a defection of thirty instead
of twenty-four from the Union to ihe
Deimjcraticf side, what Jthctl ?' "We will
remark, J ilibwevcr, in this connection,
that is certain that several of the Congress
men elect from this State would not sit in
the new Congress, and at least one of the
Senators, if it were-to meet to-day. With
out a franchise law, howevernot more than
two Union Representatives will be returned
trom this btatc in'lbbv. Ihe danger ot t
collision between the two bodies, each claim
ing to be the United States Congress, is possi
ble; it is even probable,; certainly1 far more
likely to occur than secession was likely to
occur in 1861. May the wisdom and patri
otism of all the dapartments of the Govern
ment, Executive, legislative and judicial, be
exerted diligently and successlullv to avert
another dreadful conflict!

One of the Radical members of Congress,
Mr. Baldwin, who is also the editor of the
it orccstcr laiasn.j on, is cviuenuy a. gcmie
ni an of an observing turn of mind. He
was present on the occasion of the President's
anniverHary speech, and in a letter to his
paper he describes the impressions which
he received. The Radical slander that the
President was under the'inflnencc of strong
drink fSccivcS" no confirmati6n from "Mr.
Baldwin's statements.
Having some acquaintance withthePrcsi
dent's character and style1 of public speaking,
we may say that Mr. 'Baldwin had placed
a very just estimate upon tho features he has
alluded to. Before the present' issue between
Mr. Johnson and the Radical element in
Congress is disposed of, there will be others
beside the Representative from Massachu
setts, who will know thal'whcn he makes a
speech he "calculates," and "means to
bring about certain results." The letter
says:
Ilis voice is clear, harsh, powerful and penetrat
ing. When he seems speaking with most excite
ment, hffit rvidrnlly Ihe eoldrnt man in the world. I
watched him with tho awakened interest of one
who felt the magnitude of the crisis the speaking

THE IMIUSIIIEXTTO THE 3IAUYI.AXD
DELEGATION.
A committee from tbe Maryland Legisla
ture visited the President on Thursday last,
to present resolutions of that body endors
ing his counc. We extract the following
from his response :
There has always been with me some fun
damental idea regarding the nature of this
Union, and I havetiever departed from it.
It is also gratifying to me after the ordeal
through which we have passed, that through
the chaotic stale of the public mind this idea
stillliyed, and that thcsoprinciples are again
enunciated; that there is still an apprehen
sion of them, around and about winch there
seems to arise a crystaliration and a forma
tion of hi en that will, in the future, sustain
the country, and the principles on "which it
lives.
As regards myself I can only say that
my past life must afford the guarantee for
the sincerity of mv motives, and mv sccnrltv
for the future. There, if any where, I must
be found. If my past is nut sullicicnt to do
this, nothing that I could Bay now would be.
The Constitution has been my guide, the
public good my aim ; and. sink'or swim, live
or die, that Constitution shall continue to be
my guide. All that I ask is, that an honest
and conuding public test In the future
whether I am sincere in what I pro

we must follow it without looking to the

STATES JUniCIAKY.
On the Sth insU the following bill passed
the House of Representatives without de
bate. It will be noted that it establishes
nine circuits. At present there are ten. By
the death of Judge Catiion there was one
circuit with no Associate Justice. This bill
was inspired by a desire to prevent President
Johnsan from filling Judge Catoon's va
cancy. It was only six years ago that the
number of circuits was increased to ten on
account of the accumulated business. The
rea-sons nre stronger now than then, but the
political reasons overrule and lipncc the bill:
"Jlett rnaeJeHby the innate and House of
JleprttemUitirtf, That hereafter the Supreme
Court of the United States shall consist of
one Chief Justice and eight Associate Jus
tices.
"Sec 2. And be it further enacted, That

Tho number of ciiizetin every 'eomma
ruty who feel a proper? in tertet in public
Saaltcrs, la generally in proportion o those
who own the houses in which they live. So
long as a man remains a tenant, he will not
manifest thai concern in the management of
municipal affairs which attaches to the own
rcrs of property. ' And the reason is obvious?1
In the one case, taxes and assessments press -directly
upon the property owner and make
him feel their full weight in theother, they
come in an indirect manner, and conse
quently do not teem so burdensome. Rents
may be raised on account of the imposition
of extraordinary taxes, and although the.
whole increase falls upon the.tenant,,. yetas
he pays by the month, the amount divided
by -twelve doeanot produce, such1 .an- un-j
pleasant impression upon him as it does
upon the landlord who is called upon to pay
tho whole bill at once. ' The tenant may for
get the owner will not and this remem
brance may, in the end, produce certain re-,
suits at the ballot-box.
Numerous plans have been suggested
having in view the use of capital in such a
manner, as tojecpmpensji the.ownersand at
the same time to increase the number of
property holders, especially in our large
cities and towns. One is, that capitalists, or
associations of such, shall build, neat-and;
commodious houses, finished in a plain and
substantial manner, and put them in posses;
sion of honest, hard-working tenants, who, "
in addition to, a, fair rent, shall pay a small
or larger amount per month, as theircircura
stances will admit, towards the ultimate
purchase of the property. Thus, if a man
who is now paying ten or fifteen or twenty
dollars rent, per month, can, by a little ad
ditional economy, raise those amounts five
or ten dollars each pay day, in the end he
will own his, house, and thus be free from
the perplexities that too often attend tho ap
proach of pay day. The dispensing with a
few luxuries and the abandonment of mere
unnecessary articles in his family, will easily
enable a man to increase the margin be
tween his receipts and expenses, and thus
constitute a monthly or quarterly fund to be
appropriated in the manner indicated.-
The Chicago Times, a joumal which has
given much attention to this question, in a
recent article upon the subject, says :
In a contract by which the occupant of a hon.e
has his rent assigned to tho liquidation of tho
purchase of the properly, there should be a care-
tul regard lor tuo rignis oi ootu parties, it would,
for instance, bo a manifest injustice, after a tenant
had paid say two-thirds of the value of the pro
perty, should bo bo summarily dispossessed
through a failure to pay his rent at the close of a
month or even of two or thrco months. Wo think
a contract should bo to drawn th&Ohe difficulty
of dispossessing a tenant should increase exactly
in proportion that do his payments. We can per
haps make this better understood by supposing
that a tenant occupies a house for which ho can
Eay in five years. During tho first year it might
o arranged that a failure to pay rent for Ono
month would involve a forfeiture of any right to
the property. During tho second year let three
months' failure; tho thirdlyear five months; tho
burth. seven months; and tho fifth year, nine
months' failure work a forfeiture. We suggest
one, three, five, soven and nine months' failure,
in a purchase requiring five years, not as the pro
per number of months in each ease, but as an il
lustration of a plan by which the tenant would
bo hedged witli protection strong in proportion to
his interests.
The total price of ahouso and lot put into the
possession ot a tenant on this plan should npt ex-
cccd a fair value of the property, at a cash sale,
with the interest of this amount added toit. Tho
interest should be computed only for such times
and on such an amount as would actually exi-t.
Thus, a property which would sell for $2,500
should be valued under this plan at about $3,000,
and would bo paid for in six years at $500 per
annum. The interest on J2,500ono year would be
$175, and this added to the principal would make
$2,675. The $500 rent deducted from this
would lcaro tho amount upon which in
terest should be reckoned for the next year,
and so on decreasing each year the amount
at interest by the yearly payments. The
yearly interests on thesu annually decreasing
amounts, added together, would give tho amount'
which should be added to tho cash Value of tbe
property, and tho total wimld represent the value
at which the property should he turned over to
the tenant-purchaser.
It is needless to add that if the tenant nt any
time shuuld chooso to anticipate his payments, or
increase their sixo, ho should be allowed to do so,
and these increased payments should in propor
tion to their frequency and ntnounts, lower the
value of the property.
The Board of Real Estate Brokers in
Chicago have considered this plan and given
it their unanimous approval, and several
property holders and capitalists in that city
have signified their intention of aiding in the
movement. We have abundant capital in
this city, and our mechanics and traders and
working men need homes. Will not the
owners of unimproved property and men of
capital join in some Mich a system as that
about to be inaugurated in Chicago? The
city, the capitalists and those wishing dwel
lings, would all be "benefited by such an ar
rangement. The details of the Chicago plan
may be imperfect, but that some such a sys
tem could be made to work advantageously
there is no doubt. The subject is one of im
mense importance to tho growth and pros
perity of the city, as well as tho comfort of
.its) people, and it should be carefully con
sidered.
TENXESSEE NTATE XEWS.
The Pulaski Citizen has the following:
! " Disouaceful Affair. Last Sunday,
evening our public square was the theatre of
one of those disgraceful scenes in which
liquor und madness hold riot. The facU are
briefly these: A white manSiwhose modesty
Would be shocked to see hiSVame printed in
this connection, was a little intoxicated, and
got into a difficulty with a negro, in which
the latter threw two rocks at the former, and
then made his exit from the scene. Later in
the evening he came back upon the srjuare,
accompanied by a number of his friends,
when the difficulty was renewed. When
we happened upon the scene of action, about
forty or fifty negroes were arrayed on the
one side, bristling for the conflict, while a
half dozen or more white men were defying
them and occasionally turning loose a brick
bat. At this juncture the immaculatcs were
evidently masters of the situation, while
most of the "poor white trash" the chiv
alry of Pulaski were standing about the
corners, with hands in their pockets, looking
on complacently. Believing thewhole affair
disgraceful, and believing that 110 present
or prospective good would result from a
rencounter, especially against such odds, we
humiliatingly appealed to several influential
colored gentlemen, who, with the assistance
of the town constable, succeeded in dispers
ing the mob before any serious damage was
done."
In relation to the special election for a
member to the Legislature, the Cithcn says
of the retiring member:
" We have had no expression from Dr.
Ordway. and therefore cannot say whether
he will be a candidate for re-election or not;
but we take the liberty here of suggesting
to the patriotic voters of the county, that a
unanimous re-election is due the Doctor as
a manifestation to him, to the State and to
the country at large, of our high apprecia
tion of his manly conduct. We say then,
let our county reprcsetiLitivc and our noble
old floater be unanimously indorsed."
Tho following gentlemen were elected on
H. A vmctt. The highest total vote cast was
800.
The Fayettevillc Observer says that Win.
Miles and George Hubbard, charged with
horsc-stcaling, and George Edwards, indict
ed for the killing of Capt. Newton Davies,
broke jail a few days ago, and made their
escape. It is rejwrted that Edwards and
Hubbard were afterwards arrested at Mc
Minnville, and placed in the jail at Man
chester. Upon the subject of horsc-stcaling the Ob
wrrer says:
"The horse thieves arc pushing; their ie-
culiar business with a good deal of energy'

every week some farmer informs us of the
loss of a horse or mule. The 'light-fingered

During the day he was attacked by six despera

As to this gentleman's original political faith, as
pextaius to' the lato revolution;, .wo are not pre

such during the entire war.
During the past summer the authors of the
above outrages were arrested by Sheriff Cells for
a like attack on an old citizen of Sullivan coun

cordance with the teachings of tho past summer,
" to seek x edress Qutsidetof ciyii law if they could
not set satisfaction from the courts." Mr. Cells
only fell a victim to tho radical indoctrinations of
that sect of sanctified politicians who bartered

orphan's cries'; who smile nt the groans of tho

Amid the confusion Jand disorganization that
marks the country, there is a great moral under

From Lynchburg to Chattanooga, all along the

GAItKETT DAVIS' SPEECH,
The Cincinnati Gazelle's special dispatches
give the following as the conclusion of Sen
ator Davis' recent speech. It is a little
fuller han the paragraph we have previous
ly quoted: '
In concluding his address ho said that the
Southern Senators, and thoso who were in favor
of securing them scats in tbe Senate, constituted a
majority of the whole number of Senators. If
these two were united, the President could com
municatowith them as the constitutional body,
and, by tho Eternal, he would advise him to do it
to-morrow. He wsuid be clearly right in doing
so. He would sooner trnst the Southern Senators
as tho friends of thetountry, than those who wero
for keeping tbem out. The President has the
remedy in his hand, and ought to use it. There
was no plainer principle of law than that the
President would hav c tho right, in case the South
ern Senators came here and werjt into session with
those who were in favor of admitting then;, to de
cide whether it was' or was not the constitutional
Senate.
Upon this the Gazette remarks that " since
the rebellion was inaugurated, no bolder
scheme than that has been suggested by any
one." If the Southern States are in the
Union, and are entitled to representation,
and have their Senators arid Representatives
duly elected, then we see nothing very bold
in the suggestion. The premises, however,
must first be conceded.

In a late debate upon citizenship, in the
House of Representatives, at Washington,
one of the Republican members of Congress
from California thus expressed himself:
"Mr. Higby The Chinese are nothing
but a pagan race. They are an enigma to
me, although I have lived among them 15
years. You cannot make citizens of them ;
they do not learn the language of the coun
try.' They even dig up their dead, after
they have decayed in their graves, strip the
flesh off the bones, and transport the bones
back to China. They bring their wooden
gods with them, and kneel down and worship
them. If the Chinese do ' hot propacratc in
this country (and a virtuous woman is the
exception nnu not the rule among them;
you cannot make citizens of them."
Yet all the arguments that applyfor necrro
citizenship embrace the Chinese as well. Is
not John Chinanman as much -Mr. Sumner's
man and brother as Cuffeo the African,
whose cultivation is far inferior to that of
the Chinese? If the negro is to vote on the
strength of his natural right, so must the
Llnnnman.
The suit of James Hickman, of Hunts
ville, Ala., against W. B. Bate, late Major
General of the Confederate army, for dama
ges set at 25,000, on account, of arrest at
Huntsvilic, Ala., under orders from General
Bragg, in December 1802, is now pending in
the courts at Nashville. The circumstances
of his arrest arc substantially these: Hick
man, alleged to be a blockade runner, in vl
olation of the orders of the Commander-in-
chief of thcCon'federate army was arrested
on the information of citizens of his own
town. He was tried on this charge and ac
quitted. Subsequently he was again arrest
ed, on a presentation of a Huntsville grand
jury, for treason to the Confederate States.
Gen. Bate prosecuted the case, and ex-Confederate
Secretary of War, L. Pope Walker,
defended. At the close of the revolution
ary struggle, Hickman sued out an altach
incntwn the property of General Bate, to
cover $23,000 worth of damages. This case
is a peculiar one, involving many nice points
of law, and will most probably bo taken be
fore the Supreme Court for final decision. It
would be singularly strange if General Bate,
being a paroled soldier, is to suffer damages
for carrying out an order from his superior,
General Bragg, when the same parole pro
tects the originator of the order. Memphis

What if the one says it is at r.n end and
the other says it is not? All right, Seward
would say. It's only the difference be
tween the man of nerve and the nervous
man.
The chap who said he believed in the
doctrine of metempsychosis, because he dis
tinctly remembered the time when he was a
jackass, must have been distantly related to
Forney. The latter may not have known he
was a duck, but he might have suspected as
much when all his journalistic and political
career proved him to have been a qvacL
Straws. The Lafayette (Ind.) Courier, a
Republican journal, says:
"Captain Listen, late of the 4Cth Indiana
Volunteers, took a vote on the" cars yester
day on the President's; policy, with' the fol
lowing result: For Johnson, twenty-seven ;
for Congress, three. The entire tlurty had

The New York Sm of the 5th notes tkat
the previe3 week, the decline in wholesale
prices was greater than in any weckuice
the present downwardmovement commenced .
and sayst
"Standard domestic manufaturcs, in the dry
goods market, recededin price about twenty per
een-, and the average reduction in imported
goods was probably not J ess than twenty-fivQ.pcr,
'cent. Even at theso" reduced rates, sales" wen
very meagre, and it is Quito probable that the de
cline will continue during the present week. In
other blanches of trade tnero has also been a ma
terial reduction in prices, although the per cent
age of docliaa has not been so uniform as in tho
dry goods market; -it is evident that prices are
now rapidly gravitating toward real value"
TnE information that some ten thousand
negro troops are soon to be" mustered out" of
the United States service at Fortress Monroe,
has excited much apprehension in the minds
of the citizens of "Virginia.
The municipal authorities of .Petersburg
have appointed a committee to waii on Gov.
Pierpont, to inducchim to apply to'the Fed
eral Government for a revocation of the
order ; or, .at least, a modification of it in so
far as it permits the colored soldiers to retain
their arms when discharged. It .'is urged,
with great-reason, that the letting loose of
so large a body of armed blacks upon the
community can only lead to disorder and
violence, riot and bloodshed.

There was' a large number of mules offered

Thad. Stevens has presented a bill pro
hibiting the President fromv-reraoving any
officer "without the consent of the Senate,
who was appointed with that consent.
Exchange".
So if the President should find an officer
engaged in stealing he would have to let him
continue his depredations upon the Treasury
until the Senate was in session, which might
be six. months' thereafter. This circumstance
somewhat detracts from the beauty of Mr.
Stevens' bill.; Cincinnati yJEnquirer.

DR. L. L. COLEMAN
AMONGST the many complimentary no
tice given un by the preiw of tht8 city, we
know of none which we deem an coming
with to much heartfelt sincerity, aa the fol-
owing from the Nashville Daily Union :
"At a oerlod like the present, when our city Is
fillled to overflowing with a transient popula
tion, and diseases provail to an extent hitherto
undreamt of. it is croDer that the means of eura
should be of ready access, and that those imme
diately interested should hare information which
will lead tnem to avail tnemseives or competent
medical advice. Men who have been educated in
the best schools of the profession of medicine, and
been successful in a praetieo of many years, are
surely worthy of confidence; if they have gtrtn
their attention exclusively to one branch of the
profession, and mad themselve matters of it,
they bare still more right t e.prct support, more
particularly if tbey have atfurded proof of their
ability to cure. To this Utter etas belongs DR.
L. L. COLKMAN, who, in bis specialty, has been
a benefactor to the afilieted. and mar ever be re
lied on as a safe and sure physician."
We respectfully inform our friends that
we may still be fotmd at our oGce, reliev
ing those afflicted with
cE:E02srio .
ASD
Yoiwreal Diseases?;'
Also, all Female affliction arising from
functional derangement of the "WOMB and
irregular Menstruation.
All my preparation can be sent by Ey
prcw to any portion of the country.
