The Union State Convention will convene
in Sacramento on Wednesday next. Upon
the action of that body hangs the fate of the
party. fits proceedings are conducted har-
moniously, and ticket placed in the field
which is not objectionable to any portion of
the loyal voters of the State, no fears need be
entertained for the result but, on the con-
trary, should personal prejudice and bias be
allowed to control the action of the Conven-
ton, disruption and defeat will inevitably
follow. The Convention for the nomination
of a candidate for Congress from this District
will be held upon the adjournment of the
State Convention. Our choice Cor that po-
sition is well known. We are of the opinion
that Hon. William Highly is the best, the most
available, and will add more strength to the
ticket than any one else whose name has
been mentioned in connection with the office.

some of the county officers greatly varies from
the local issues, as in this county, where the

Two Facts.

Brownlow labored all his life,
up to within six months past, to
vindicate the divinity of slavery,
and only advocated giving. the ne
groes the right of suffrage in or
der to perpetuate his power.
The Conservatives are men who
are tired of Brownlow's reign of
hatred, and who are disgusted
with his hypocrisy towards the
negro. They are striving to gain
equal rights and privileges for
all men, white or black, who are
not disqualified by a conviction
of crime before a court Of justice,
because they know that only in
this way can we have peace and
prosperity.

Remedies for PCisOns.

Cases of poisoning often occur
in which life might be saved and
hours of agony averted, if we
only knew what to do in season.
If a poison burns the throat and
acts violently on the stomach,
swallow halt q pint of sweet oil,
or melted butter or lard, and with
in five minutes, take half pint
of warm water, in which has been
stirred a teaspoonful of ground
mustard and salt. The oil arrests
the action of the poison, and the
mustard, etc., causes vomiting.
If the poison swallowed does
not burn the throat and act with
instant violence, but causes sick
ness, stupor or faintness, swallow
the whites of three eggs, also a
quantity of the strongest coffee it
is possible to make, and in few
minutes take the warm water,
mustard and salt, as before men
toned. An eminent physician
says that with the prompt use of
oil, whites of eggs, and strong
coffee, and the emetic, as above
directed, the fatal result of any
poison likely to fall in the way
of man or child, may be always
averted. The remedies are In
themselves harmless, and might
all be taken into the stomach at
once, in any quantity, without
damage to the system; and they
are things which we always have
at hand. But, while using these
things, don't fail to send for ply
sician. And, above all, and first
of all, don't have any poison
around.

SHADOWS.

The moonlight was finging shadows
Over the dewy grass,
As sat by the window watching
For a well-known shadow to pass.
1t came by the side of the pathway
That led to our cottage door,
But paused by the lilac bushes,
Where it never had paused before.
And another shadow fitted
Out through the lighted hall,
And across the branches of roses
Isaw the shadow fall.
They mat by the fragrantlilacs,
And / saw the taller bend
Over the slender shadow
Of the girl 1 called my friend.
All! his love was light as the shadow
Of the graceful lilac-tree,
And the sun of royal beauty
Had turned it away from me.
Before the dawn of morning
All the moonlight shadows depart;
But the shadows that fell that evening,
For ever viii rest on my heart.

Cure for Collie.

Being lately attacked with
violent collie, accompanied with
cramp, after trying several Of the
usual remedies without relief, I
was induced to drink a tumbler
of strong salt water, as warm as I
could bear it, and at the same
time to apply cloth, wrung out
of bowl of hot water, to the
abdomen, over which also a dry
one was placed. The relief was
almost immediate, the salt and
water appearing to remove the
cause, which was indigestible food,
and the wet bandage produced
rapid perspiration and relaxation
of the bowels, both of which rem
edies tended rapidly to relieve the
patient. ISAAC P. SHELBY.

The Right Spirit.

The Nashville Banner says:
Captain Asa Hays better known
as "Black Hawk" who COM
manded a company in the FEEDER
al army, from Henderson county,
during the late war, made a speech
in Lexington last Friday, in
which he declared himself oppos-
ed to Brownlow, and in favor Of
conservative principles. He
thought it all wrong to exclude q
man from voting merely because
he had been in the ''rebel" army.
Hed does not believe that the man
who fought as a brave and faithful
soldier in the rebel army through
out the war, is trying to deceive
him, when he declares his willing
ness to renew his allegiance to the
United States Government. He
is not afraid to trust such a man.

Failures in Business.

The statement of which the
late Gen. Dearborn, of Massachu-
sets, was the author some years
ago, in regard to the great number
of failures among business men,
has had a world wide circulation.
This statement was, that after q
most extensive acquaintance with
business men, and having long
been an attentive observer Of
events in the mercantile COM
munity, he was satisfied that,
among one hundred merchants
and traders in Boston, not more
than three ever acquired inde-
pendencel
So startling a statement as this
challenged a careful investigation
by several intelligent gentlemen.
One of these, determined to sift
the matter, says that he called
upon a friend, great antiquarian
-one always referred to in what
ever concerns the city of Boston
who told him, in 1900, he took a
memorandum of every person
doing business there on Long
Wharf, and that forty years after
(Which may be said to be as long
as merchant continues in busi-
ness,) only five in one hundred
remained. They had all, In that
time, failed or died destitute of
property. One of the directors
of the Union Bank-a very strong
bank to this day-also stated that
the bank commenced business in
1898; that there was then but
one other bank in Boston, the
Massachusetts, Bank, and that
the "Union" was so oyerrun with
business that the clerks and Of
fcers were obliged to work until
twelve o'clock at night, and all
Sunday; that they had occasion
to look back, a year or two ago,
and they found that, of the one
thousand accounts which were
found to have been opened with
them in starting, only sis remain
ed; they had, in the forty years
either failed or died destitute of
property. Houses, whose paper
had passed without a question,
had all gone down in that time
Another informant, who had occa-
sion to look through the probate
office a few years since, was sur
prised to find that over ninety per
cent. of all the estates settled there
were insolvent. -s ras1 gta.
It has been ascertained that
not more than one per cent. of the
best class of merchants escaped
from falling in Philadelphia; and
that not more than two per cent.
of the merchants Of New York
ultimately retire on an independ-
ence, after having submitted to
the usual ordeal of failure. These
calculations are based upon peri
DDS of twenty-five and thirty
years.
In Cincinnati, out Of a list of
some four hundred of the princi-
pal business men who were in
trade in that city at certain
period, there were only JfUe in
business at the end of twenty
years from that date. Such is
mercantile success. -.-

BrownloW's Militia.

The Tennessee loyal militia bill
provides for the raising of 5000
treops-one thousand for each
Congressional District, and one
thousand as State guard, ma
king in all 5000 men; 250 cav
airy are to be allowed to each
regiment, making $3.50 horses;
the owners of these horses to
have forty cents a day for each
horse, and the State to feed and
shoe the horses, and pay for all
that die in the service. The pay
of the officers and privates are to
be the same as that of the Uni
ted States troops. Now what
does the honest tax payer of Ten
nessee, who is already burthened
with State and Federal taxes, sup
pose this unnecessary draft upon
their honest labor is to cost them ?
To say nothing of the loss to the
agricultural interest of the State,
by making 5000 able bodied men
consumers alone, and not producers
at all, and the loss from the plow
of $3.50 horses, without counting
the rations to be supplied by the
State, is SIS, ,2O2,66 per day; $l56,-
O7O,S0 per month; Sl,S72,957,6 go
per wear. It is fair to estimate the
cost cf feeding the army at least
as much as the pay for services,
which would double the above
figures, still leaving out the'loss to
the State of the men from the fields
and in various other ways. All
this, too, in time ofprofound peace
in the State! Honest men OF Ten
nessee! You who have to pay
this enormous sum from your
hard earnings, should do all in
YOUR power at the ballet box to
turn these vampires out of office,
before they suck the last drop OF
blood from your veins.
