Professional visit.

DIR. MoRTIMORE having taken under
treatment number of persons In our city,
and from the surrounding country, who
were variously afflicted, comprising eases
of various forms of chronic diseases, will
visit GAINESVILLE again on Friday ana sat
urday, July nth and 18th Mt the National
Hotel, where his former patients, and all
others who desire to consult him, can have
the opportunity. His reputation as skill
full and successful practitioner, as also a
heightened gentleman of moral worth, has
long been established throughout the
South.
We copy the following nom the Robert
son Register, Springfield, Robertson CO.,
Tenn, June 25th:
Treatment and Cure Of Chronic Diseases
DR.. d. Mortimore, at Buena Vista Springs,
Logan county, Ky.
DIR. Mortimore has selected this popular
watering place and summer resort, SO as To
enable his numerous patients, and all who
desire to consult him. to visit and remain
under his immediate professional care. He
gives special attention to all forms OF
chronic disease, both males and females,
and as-all cases require time to effect cures,
| the earlier applications are made the bet
ter. His successful treatment of the most
| extreme cases, has been gratifying, and SO
marked throughout this section of country,
and indeed throughout the entire South,
that he has acquired reputation and ce.
lebrity surpassed by none, even II equalled
by any man in the medical profession OF
the present day. Therefore, all who are af-
tiicted can apply to him with. reasonable
hopes of having all accomplished that
medical aid can do. The cures he has so
lately effected in this and adjoining coun-
| ties, are quite sufficient evidences OF his
| professional skill. In the treatment OF
diseases of the Lungs and Organs OF the
Chest, diseases of the Kidneys, and especi-
ally all the various affective forms OF Fee
male Diseases, his success has been truly
wonderful.

WE have alluded elsewhere to the
armed demonstrations made by the
negroes, of this locality, and since
that time, the allusion has received
additional significance from notices
that similar demonstrations are be-
ing made in most of the Southern
States. The universally proves con-
cert and generalization, and the con-
cert and generalization indicate dan
ger of the most serious character, call
ing for active measures to avert it,
We think public meetings should be
called throughout the State for con-
sultation rs to the best means for ac-
complishing this purpose. A stitch
in time, Is wise measure.

OUR NEXT PRESIDENT.
HOratiO Seymour Accepts the Nomi
nation.

New YORK, July 19.-GovernOr
Seymour delivered the following
speech at ratification meeting to-
night:
Mr.. Chairman and gentlemen of
the Committee: thank you for the
courteous terms in which you have
communicated the action ofthe DEM
ocratic Convention. [Cheers. ] ] have
no words adequate to express my
gratitude for the good will and kind
ness which that body has shown me.
Its nomination was linsought and un-
expected. 1t was my ambition to
to take an active part, from which
am now excluded, in the great strIg-
gle going on for the restoration of
good government, of peace and pros
perity, Great cheering,] but have
been caught up by the Overwhelming
tide that is bearing us to u great
change and find myself unable to re-
sist its pressure. Loud cheering.1
You have also given to me O copy
of resolutions put forth by the con.
vention, showing its position upon all
the great questions which now agita-
tee the country. As the presiding
officer of that convention, I am ia
miliar with the scope and import, as
one of its members / am a party to
their terms. They are in accordance
with my wish, and / standupon them
In the contest into which we are now
entering, and I shall strive to carry
them out i'm the future wherever I
may be placed, in public, or private
life. [Cheers.
! congratulate you and all conser-
vative men, who seek to restore or
der, peace, prosperity and good gov
eminent TO our land, upon the evil
dences every where shown, that we
are to triumph at the next election
Prolonged cheers.1
Those who are politically opposed ia
us flattered themselves there would
be discord in our councils. They mis-
took the uncertainties of our views,
as to the best methods of carrying out
our purposes, for differences of opin-
ion. With regard to those purposes,
they mistook an anxiety TO do no act
which should not be wise and judic-
lus, for spirit OF discord; but during
the heightened proceedings and earn
est discussions of the convention
there has prevailed an entire har-
mony of intercourse, patient for
bearance, and selfsacrifcing spirit
which are the sure tokens Of a COM
ing victory.
Accept for yourselves, gentlemen,
my wishes for your future welfare and
happiness. Cheers In few days
! viii answerthe communication you
have Just handed me, by letter, rs Is
the customary form. Tremendous
and long continued cheering.

SOME damphool in Congress, has
discovered that Gen. Blair's letter
read before the Convention foreshad-
ows fresh rebellion, and advises
Congress to attend to it in time
From this may be Inferred the pur-
pose Of Congress not to accept the
result of the ballot, but, in the event
of defeat, to proclaim Grant Presi-
dent and trust to him and the army
for continued Radical supremacy
Whether the Democrats of the North
will submit to this is now the most
interesting question before the peo-
pie of the South.

Congregational.

Mr.. BOUTWELL, from Commit
tee on Reconstruction reported back
with Senate amendments, n joint res
olution excluding from the electoral
college, the States lately in rebellion,
which the Army bill having been
temporarily laid aside, was read.
The amendments reported were also
read a. follows: Strike out the words
"and which States are now represen-
ted in Congress-" and insert the fol-
lowing: provided, that nothing
herein contained shall be construed

presented In Congress on the 4th OF
March, 1867 After an exciting dis
cussion, the amendments were agreed

In Is cheering to witness the una
nimity and enthusiasm with which
the democratic nomination is every
where received. Seymore is recog-
nized rs one vt the ablest men I'm the
country and Yields an immense in
fluence with the most impracticable
element Of the democratic party-we
mean the bondholders-and at the
same time he stands squarely upon
the platform which endorses the PEN
dleton plan of paying the public debt.
This makes him perhaps, the strong
est man who could have been Sc
lected.
Gen. Blair is popular in the West
and with soldiers, and his outspoken
hostility to the Radicals and his short
process for the remedy of Radical
rascality, and the bold manner in
which he commends and urges that
process, are winning for him admira-
ton and confidence. Though taken
by surprise, we believe no stronger
ticket could have been made, and its
reception by the democrats discloses
the encouraging fact, that though
thousands were disappointed, none
are disaffected and all stand together
as if the two men were the original
choice of the entire party. This har.
mony, the ability of the nominees
and the justice of the cause make IL
n winning ticket. The ball of revo.
luton Is in motion and will gather
strength until it becomes irresistible
and our triumph will, we hope, be
SO overwhelming as not to leave Con.
gress anything to hope from its con.
templated coup d'etat.
Clarksville chronicle. (Clarksville, Tenn.) 186?-1872, 1868-07-17

WE have it, on good authority, that
she, Radical in this place, told a
lady that the whites had better keep
a sharp lookout, as they-herself and
the he Radicals-have three or four
hundred armed negroes at their COM
mand, and ready to do their bidding
at u moments warning. Whether
to be forewarned Is to be forearmed, is
problem yet to be solved. So far as
we can gather, the whites are as
calmly Indifferent as if they were not
standing upon volcano that may
burst forth at any moment to whelm
them in fire. The indifference mani
tested on this subject is really alarm
ing because it amounts to apathy.
Armed negroes promenading the
streets is no unusual sight, and at
tracts no more attention, even from
the police, than so many persons 60
ing to church. Such exhibitions are
no unmeaning bravado; they have
an object, and that object is not peace
and good will. We deprecate any
aggressive measures on the part of
the whites, but earnestly entreat them
to be prepared for any outbreak
Good firearms are trusty friends in
times of danger and no white gentle
man should be without them. We
have had warnings enough-let them
be needed for we know not what a
night may bring forth. The Radi-
Gals desise disturbance as pretext
for organizing militia force through
out the State. Let us prepare our
selves that should one be inaugurated
that neither black nor white Radicals
will ever seek another.

Tho Cats Dead.-Another Mutual
Fire Insurance Company Gone the
Way OF all Felincs.-From the Nashville
Banner, of the 9th Of June, we copy the
following!
Insurance Company Suspended.
Tho Merchants and Manufacturer Insu-
rance Company of this city, corner Of Col:
lege and Church streets, has suspended, and
the building, which was also occupied by
the Nashville Chamber Of Commerce, has
been converted into WHOLESALER liquor store'
This Company started trade in 1888 with
80; and like nine out Of ten Mutual Fire
Companies died prematurely.
Mutual Fire Insurance Companies are
gotten up to make money for a few indi-
viduals, and IL success attends their opera
lions, they pocket the money and suspend,
and If through inadequate rates they burn
up their premiums, they are forced to sris-
pend.
The rise, progress and downfall Of Mutual
Fire Insurance Companies is shown by the
ninth annual report Of the superintendent
of Insurance, State of New York for the
year ending December 3lst, 1867. Remember
history does not lie. In 1858 there were, IN
New York State, 90 Mutual Fire Insurance
Companies, receiving 81, 1886, 4S9 So in pre-
miums. In 1867 there were, in New Yorl,
state, IL Mutual Fire Insurance Companies
receiving only sl75,4ls 81. History has re.
peated itself In all the States concerning
Mutual Fire Insurance Companies.
On the other hand, there were, in New
York State, in 1858, 81 Joint Stock Fire In
surance Companies, receiving S3,SO0,s 1853 n
In 1867 this number has augmented to log

The American Chinese Plenipo.

It has been for some time announced
that the notorious BURL1NGAME, whom the
Late Lamented sent to China as the repre-
sentative of the United States, has thrown
ND his Office and taken service under the
flag of the Flowery Kingdom as Ambassa-
dor from the Brother of the Sun to the
United States of America. This is a curl
Gus and unexampled case, and people are
wondering what it means. Is it the be-
ginning of new era in the policy OF
nations, in which the Yankees are to mo-
nopolize the carrying trade in diplomacy
representing their own nation and every
body else's? Or has BURL1NGAME disco
vered that the Chinese manage rebellion
in more artistic and successful way than
do the Radicals, and that he brings with
him the whole system, including the lnge-
NOUS knives by which-each joint having
knife especially adapted to it-men are

annum-which is better than his pay from
Uncle Sam-and for this captivating salary
he has wheedled the Brother Of the Sun
into the notion that he will get the better
of the said Uncle Sam in bargain. What
a peculiar people! What will they not do,

importuned for gorilla story, and, in COM
