Insure Your Lives.

It always affords as pleasure to make IA
forable mention Of an institution like the
St Louis Mutual Life Insurance Company.
The business of this company Is IN the
hands Of the best men in the South and
the West and the plan or system of insu-
rance adopted, is so reasonable and adyan-
tageous to the insurer, that it cannot fail to
give general satisfaction. AS an evidence of
the popularity and appreciation Of the St.
Louis Mutual, we direct attention to the
following list Of gentlemen, all Of whom
have acted wisely IN securing a policy

u. S. SENAToR.-As soon as the Legisla.
ture meets in October, United States Sena-
tor will be selected to serve in the place 81
Judge Patterson, one of the present incum-
bents. As the " shebang, capoodle, and all y
are radical to the chore, of course a " big T"
rad. will be selected 1t is very probable
that Secretary A. J. Fletcher of State, Billy
3. man Friday, will receive the honor. We
imagine that the fat aspirant can be heard
humming tune to the following words
Ny name is Sec. Fletcher,
L was born in a shauty,
To make me a preacher my father did try
But there's in talking.
For I hard one
And I'm bound to be Senator, DO jabbers or die!

TIE INDIAN WAR.-Trouble on the west
ern plains seems to increase rather than di-
minish. The United States forces are ac-
cOmplishing but little, while the Indians are
reveling in perfect carnival of blood.
Work, in many places, has been discontinued
on the great Pacific railway, post after post
is being deserted, and adyices from the plains
inform US that for every Indian killed so far
has been done at cost of one million dot
lars to the government The Indians, it
appears, both north and south of the line OF
the Pacific road, are determined on making
desperate stand in defense of what they
call their hunting grounds. 1t is said that
the hostile tribes, all told, can muster eighty
thousand warriors

GROWING WARM-The inhabitants Of the
military districts are warming up over the
question whether 1t Is best 10 vote for or
against conventions, whose work, should they
be called into existence, will be TO recon
struct under the Shermen bill-a bin that is
so infamous in its features, so cruel, mean
and unr.anly, that even Hottentot would
he ashamed to favor it. 1t is a radical egg,
fuIl of yermin and should be kicked into the
cespool from whence it came. Out with the
abortion, men of the south; save your
honor and protect your race. Set your faces
AGAINST the conventionists.

The Nashville Repubulitan Banner, of
the l4th, brings us news that there is re-
port current there among the Radicals that
the leaders are urging Gov. Brownlow to call
the Legislature together, for the purpose of
modifying the franchise law so that the
mass of the people shall be enfranchised.
The argument is, that if this is not done
under the Constitution, as itnow stands, be-
fore the first of October, it cannot be done
for five years without amending the Consti.
tuition. The German Radical organ of the
city favors the call Of the Legislature, and
thinks a majority of Radicals favor the
amelioration What the Governors views
are is not intimated
