CoNsUHPTIoN'-Sir James Clark, of England, has
assaled, with considerable force the doctrine that
change of climate is beneficial to persons suffering
with consumption, and French physician NJ Carr
iere, has written fOrcibly against it. DR.. Burgess,
an eminent Scotch physician, also contends that
climate has little or nothing to do with the cure of
consumption, and that if it had, the curative effects
would be produced through the skin and net the
lungs. That a warm climate is not in itself bene-
fetal, he shows from the fact that the diseas exists
in all ATTITUDES. In India and Africa tropical eli
mates, 1t is as frequent as in Europe and North
America. At Malta, right in the heart of tie gen.
ial Mediterranean, the army reports of England
show that third of the deaths among the soldiers
are by consumption. At Nice, q favorable resort
of English inValids, especially those afflicted with
lung complaints, there more native born persons
die of consumption than in any English town of equal
population. In Geneva this diseas is almost equal
ly prevalent. In Florence, pneumonia is said to be
marked by a sutfOcating character, and by rapid
progress towards its last stage. Naples, whose eli
mate is the theme of so much praise by travellers,
shows in her hospitals a mortality by consumption
equal to in two and one third, whereas in Paris
whose climate is so often pronounced villianous,
the proportion is only one in three and one qnarter.
In Madeira, no local disess is more common than
consumption.

CONDOLENCES.

We should have thought that a reliance Coin
cideHces had cost the KnoW-Nothings of this State
quite enough last fall without their being tempted
again to rely upon them. But not thinks the
Patriot. 1t yesterday published a leader for the
purpose of raising the hopes of its party, in which
it showed that since 1889, with one exception the
party successful in Presidential election had been
defeated in the ensuing Gubernatorial election. 1t
was upon the fact that the opposition to Democrs-
CIV had always since 1885, carried the State for Presi
dent that the KnOwNothings last fall based all their
hopes of carrying Tennessee for Fillmore. The
superstition failed that time, and reliance on it
cost the Know-Nothings great deal of money, as
the Patriot no doubt remembers. Besides the
coincidence halts in very important particular:
The Wings, it is true, lost the State for Governor
several times in the election succeeding Presden
tiL election. But the Democracy have never been
thus unfortunate. Let the Patriot remember this.
We had only coincidence contend with last fall
and this summer there is not even a coincidence
against u.s.

SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH To CUBA.-We learn that
the subscriptions have been closed to the company,
limited partnership, en- eomGndits which under the
firm of Antonio N. Mora & Company, the senior
partner Of the houses of Moro Alfonso Co., Of this
city, of that OF Mora & Nephews of New York. has
been formed here for the construction of land and
submarine telegraph to Key West and Florida.
The plan which will form the ground work Of this
project having been drawn up by this gentleman,
We have capital of $800,000 subscribed in less
than two hours among ten or twelve of the most
select Of our merchants. So marked proof of con-
hdence toward this gentleman, and his position as
senior partner ofths Submarine and Land Telegraph
Company, are auguries of the profitable character of
this great enterprise. The instantaneous commune
cation of the island of Cuba with the United States
and that country with Europe, will demonstrate to
its inhabitants the advantages they enjoy in their
commerce and their relations.
Messrs Francisco Noy, of the house of Morrison
Co., of Cardenas; Felipe Nunez of that of Charles
Tying Co., of this city, and Samuel A. Kennedy,
teegraphic engineer and formerly contractor of the
telegraph of this island proprietOrs of the privileges
for Florida and Georgia, we learn have transferred
1t to the new company for a moderate compensation.
We are informed that orders will 90 to the house
of Mora l. Nephews, of New York, by the Black
Warrior, to-day, for the construction of the sub
marine cable, and the announcement for proposals
for the lines through Florida and Georgia. The
wellknOwn ability and activity of Senior Mora lead
us TO believe that this information is as trustworthy
the confidence in him on the part of our leading
merchants is great.

HON. JOHN H. SAVAGE.

Firm, energetic and talented, Col. Savage is
goriously bearing alOft the Democratic banner The
good old cause was never placed in safer hands.
But short while SINCE the Know Nothings were
predicting his ingloriOus defeat. Now the tables
are completely turned 1t is believed on all hands
tfat his triumph will be decisive. His zeal and
enthusiasm, united with ability and much experience
in public affairs enable him to come off conqueror
in every contest with his competitor.
Even some Democrats were fearful that the mis-
representations of his vote for the Compensation
Law would seriously damage his prospects. But
when ne came to apply the touchstone of truth to
this question all the fog that had been raised By his
enemies vanished iuto thin air
Col Savage is emphateally worker and his
example should be followed by every man who wishes
to be successful politician 1t has been our good
fortune to know but few gentlemen who possess the
same tact and indomitable perseverance We shall
not at any time be surprised to learn that he has
converted back the immortal Joe to the true faith
At any rate nothing human is likely to deprive him
OF a seat in the 35th Congress.-AclinaViH New

RS% Some of the Southern Know Nothings are in
favor of distributing the proceeds of the sales of the
public lands among the States. If the government
has the power to give the proceeds of the lands the
States has the power to for any other purpose
The abolitionists clai the power for the government
but they don't want the proceeds to be given to the
States. They propose to use the public lands to
liberate the slave population of the Country. Perhaps
some kind of a compromise might be agreed upon
between the KnOw-NOthings and Abolitionists, upon
this subject.

p6y-A correspondent of the IatslEgenccy, who
announces himself as " Clay Wing, paying sub
scriber to that journal for thirty years. and
anti Democrat from the day that VIM. H. Crawford
was nominated for the Presidency by COngressiOn-
al caucus, condemns both useless and impossible
the reorganization of the Wing party, to the advo-
cacy of which idea our venerable contemporary has
been of late almost superstiGOusly devoted. The
"Clay Wing" STARTS by saying that the refusal of
the Wings to nominate Mr.. Clay for the contest of
$780, their refusal to elect him in 1914, and their
general opposition to General Scott in 1852 not only
demolished the party but absolutely puverized it."
In addition to this Short sharp, and decisive state
ment of facts, the CLAY Wing" gives five reasons
why the Wing party put itself beyond the "sOund of
the trump of resurrection" which we may give in
substance thus:
lst The Wing measures, protective tariff, United
States Bank, &c, are extinct. The resusctation of
the party could not revive these measures
I'd. The political parties in being have absorbed
every remaining element of the Wings, if they had
remaining element left at all"

DpAT8 on JUDGE PHILLIPS, OF RuTHER-

DEATH OF JUDGE PHILLIPS OF RuTHER~
FORD COUNTY
Tennessee has lost one Of her most eminent citi.
sens. Hon JOSEF Phillips died Suddenly at his
residence, in Rutherford county, on Saturday, 25th
instant -sz-.---ssz- sgsazs
He was born in Kentucky on the 9th of October,
1884, and removed to Davidson county, Tennessee,
in 1885, where, after receiving an academic educa-
tion he prepared himself for the legal profession,
in the Office of that distinguished lawyer, Jenkin
Whiteside. He commenced The practice at the
town Of Jefferson, then the seat Of justice Of Ruth
erford county. He entered the army Of the United
States as Captain, in 1912, at the commencement
of the war with England; and during the continu-
of hostilites was statonedon the Northwestern
frontier to repress the Indians. At the conclusion
Of peace he was appointed Territorial Secretary of
Illinois, and was the candidate for Governor of the
party fayoring the admission of slavery at the or
ganization of the State Government of the Territory
He was defeated in that, but was elected Judge of
the Supreme Court which position he filed for some
time. He removed thence to Nashville in 1928,
where he was President, for some years. of the old
Bank of the State Of Tennessee. He finally settled
permanently in rutherford county in the year 1885,
where he resided more than twenty years, to the
hour of his death.
During the whole of his long and eyentful life,
Judge PHILLIPS was dignifed member of tie
Democratic party AID advocate of its principles,
He had witnessed its earliest great struggles, had
acquired an intimate knowledge of the political
teneis of the opposing parties, and thorough ae-
quaintance with all the leading men, that he never
forgot. Gifted with fine abilities, memory never
at fault aud conversational powers rarely surpassed,
he had the power to charm all who heard him
Those who differed with him in opinion never found
any thing in his social discussions 10 annoy or
wound. To his friends, he was political and his
torica index to all the important events for the last
atty years. Above all, be chaste ia hsfeelings,
pure in his thoughts and benevolent in his acts.
would be impossible even for the warmest friend to
| portray the exOellencies of a character that en-
deared him to all who knew him. Blessed with am.
pie fortune, that was improved by prudent economy
the poor found in him ever the largest charity and
benevOence. To family and friends, his loss is ir
reparable; whilst the community will long have
cause to lament his death.
We regret our inability to do justice to the emf
nent virtues of head and heart which adorned Il {
long life of this GOOD MAN. Several Of the assO-
ciates of his more active days still live in midst
and we hope some one of them will favor us with
| more worthy tribute to his memory.

BS5- We clip the following from the Memphis En-
quirer, that our readers may have idea of the
dirty malice with which Gov johnson is assailed by
the Know Nothing press. And what is his offence /?
Having exposed the Odium of organization of
which they were members, and which they now
pretend TO repudiate:
candy johnson burns with malice against the
decencies and amenities of society, which every
where repulses him. Coarse in his manners and his
conversation, had he been contemporary of DAN
ton in the French Revolution of 1889, his Machfa-
vean hands would have been crimsoned with the
blood of September"

EsS" The Memphis Ncgs calls Gov Johnson ga
fOul-mOuthed slanderer." The Enquirer says he is
''an itinerant blackguard" Having thus given
their opinion of Gov johnson, we would be
pleased if they will now tell what they think of
people who, after having heard him speak time
and again, would twice elect such man to be their
Governor. If Andrew johnson is a foul-mouthed
slanderer and itnerant blacksuard, what are the
people of Tennessee? That is the question.
But the facts are thesepapers are mistaken. They
judge Gov. Johnson by themselves The people
iudpe him differently
