GERMAN PRUNEs.-In Germany
there grows "a plum called Prune,
supposed to be native fruit, at
least native TO German Europe. 1t
is found everywhere, and often in a
wild state And whether propagat,
ed from scion or seed it is quite he
same, though when grown from the
seeds the trees thereirom may be
either an Improvement upon The
stock OF may fall short Of the orig,
NAL in size or quality. The Pruae
fourishes equally well in northern or
southern Germany, and in rich or
poor land The prune has a most
delicious flavor, mono Of the cultivat-
ed kinds IN America being its supe-
rior Mr. Baithaser Burggraf, resi>
ding at Polo>i, in this county, has
been eultivating the German Prune,
Several kinds tor some years, and
reports them doing as well as in
Germany. Persons wishing to find
out further may call on Nj. Burgratf,
and see hls stock, and also obtain

Hon. JAMES GUTHRIE has resign

and Nashville Railroad Company,
and Russell Houston, Esq, formerly
ofNashville, Vice President, succeeds
him. The Journal says the resigna-
ton of Mr., Guthrie was rendered
inevitable by his i'll health. OF his
successor the Journal remarks:
Mr.. Houston, as Vice President OF
the company, has displayed manage
rial abilities of the very highest or
der. He has the unqualified indorse-
ment of the Directory, and the full
confidence of the stockholders and
the people generally. Although but
comparatively n short time resident
in Kentucky, Mr. Houston is well
and favorabiy known. His almost
lifelong connection lin Tennes-
see) with the road of whose af-
fairs he now assumes control, has rem
dered him signally fit for the place.
1t seems almost preposterous to sup
pose that any one could be found com.
pctcnt 90 perform the difficult du.
Ties Of this high Office with anything
like the satisfaction afforded by Mr.
Houston's predecessors. Yet Mr.
Houston's very association with Mr.
Guthrie has qualified him for tho
Presidency, and We predict that hi
administration will be enlightened

mensurate with the magnitude and

he is the head. , .....-

calls of the city came in, and We're i'm

had not bitof sense, and talked too
much, and would have been the

least n hundred thousand votes in
OhiO-don't believe in letting negroes
vote; says it is too much like trying
to make them equal to the whites,
and said the only reason he thought
they ought to have been freed for,
was financially and litically, not be-
cause they were not in theirplace, for
he thoughtth the only place they were fit
rs slaves, for they are not able to take
care of themselves, and he told a
story to illustrate the fact. Said the
only way they would work and only
way to treat them was by using the
whip freely. He thinks the people
will he ashamed of giving the negro
his freedom. He says General Pail
mer made u fool of himself at the
Convention in his speech. He don't
think much of Palmer or the plat
form. He said he advised them to
leave Niger out of the platform, for
he told them if they did not they
would be beat; and said one of the
most disgusting things he ever wit
messed was the Niger delegates at the
Convention at Chicago. If he had
his way he would have kicked them
out. He said never-no, never
would he he willing for niggers to
vote; he thinks the more they are ed
ucated the worse it is for them, and
says he don't believe in educating
them. He don't believein their voting
in the South or any place else. They
have no civil rights at all; this coun-
try was made to be ruled by white
men and not niggers; thinks the
F'reedmen's Beureau the greatest
swindle the country ever saw. HI
said he had seen the time when he
had nothing to eat, and the UniteC
States did not feed him, but he had t.
work or starve. And as long as they
INDUCED the Niger i'm idleness the
longer they would have to. And sale
if he had ten cents, and it would ed
ucate niger, he would throw it in
the fire before they should have it,
Says he thinks il will beat the Gen.

The economical and judicious Mana
gers fear to use the funds on hand at
present for the purposes, as not hav-
ing an endorsement, they might run
short of means, and thus the children
would suffer for the necessaries of life.

Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1868-06-19

Much is said about the unanimous
confirmation by the Senate, Of Rev
erdy johnson, al minister ID Eng
land. We acknowledge his ability
to dischargethe duties dcsolved upon
him, but see, in his confirmation,
none of that magninimity which
some claim as due to the Senate,
and none of the high appreciation of
the man as assigned for his unani-
nous confirmation.
It will be remembered that Rev
erdy Johnson voted for the recon-
struction act, and that for this treach-
cry to the Constitution and the rights
Of the States, the Maryland LegisIa-
turc threw him overheard. This act
of the Legislature, at once stamped
johnson, in the eyes of the Radicals
as glorious martyr TO the Radical
cause. Under these circumstances
the wonder is greater that he shoulC
have been nominated by the Presi.
dent than that he should have re,
ceived the entire Radical vote.
Revcrdy Johnson can never atone
for that great crime by any subse
quent service, nor eiface from his
character, that damning blot. We
can forgive, but never trust the MAJ
who deliberately stabbed the Consti
tuition in its most vital part upon TIL,
contemplate plea, that if the plan o
reconstruction was not accepted th,
Radicals would devise something
worse.

An Appeal or the Medical Procession
to the Citizens of CiarlxsyiIIe.

The undersigned, including all the recog-
nlzed practitioners of medicine in this city,
feel theInseHcs constrained to appeal to
the public, ON matter vitality affecting
their interests or rather their means of sub
sistence and that OF their families. 1868
Within the last few years an entire
change has come over the commercial sys-
TEN of the country, SO that whereas in for
mer days the universal rule in all transac-
tons was an almost indefinite extension
Of credit, cash in hand Is now, without ex-
ception, demanded for everything. Or
rather With one exception, while in every
thing else ready money is the basis of ac-
ton, indefinite credit is still expected of
medical men for their services. Paying
cash for everything they are expected to be
satisfied with occasionally collecting a
small per centage on their accounts, and
leaving all further remuneration of their
services to accumulate in the form of un-
paid accounts and over due notes which
with sad inisgivings they leave as an In
heritance to their families. Such, with q
| few rare exceptions is the way in which
the business of medical men has been
transacted time out of mind in this COM
munfty.
But the NEST painful feature in the sys-
tenn is that this inheritance of Indebted
ness seems never TO be available to the sup
port of the survivors nfter the death ofthe
i oyerworked and under paid Physician
The facts before us are such as cannot be
made public, but they point irresistibly to
the conclusion that what Physician col
lects during his life is all which he has to
rely upon either for the present or the fu-
turc, The result in settling the affairs of
all the leading Physicians, who have died
IN this city within the last fifteen years,
leaves no other judgment possible in the
| premises.
We the undersigned then, are forced to
the concfusioIi. Wharf.-The practice OF medi-
cine cannot aud should not be carried on
upon such terms any longer; we therefore
request our, patrons to- consider their 40
counts due as soon as the services are rem
dered, and to expect their presentation
| very soon after the termination of cases in
which, they are required, when prompt
payment will be looked for on our part
