REsIeNED.-Gen. Peter Il. Bacon, one of the
Judges Of the Election (or Regisranon) has
rendered his resignation a member Of the
Board but as yet 1t has not been accepted by
the Court. Some hold that it cannot be acted
on except by the Court in general term, but it
is more than probable that, as soon as the four
Judges are together, action will be taken, it
being matter Of necessity. In view or Gen.
Bacon's experience and fitness for the position,
there has been warm pressure upon him to-
day to 'stick, !" but he seems to think the posi-.
tion rather a thankless one, and is not at all
disposed to continue in 1t. The name Of Geo.
5. Gideon, Esq, has been mentioned in con-
nection with the vacancy, and he would make
good officer.

A PEER AT Mr.. SURGEONS HOME
The Pail Mall Gazette says: We feel
that it would be churlish not to give ali
possible publicity to the following peep
into private life, which we copy from the
Methodist Times
"The domestic career of Mr.. Spurgeon
becomes interesting when we learn that ho
! finds in the object of his choice one who
truly sympathizes with him in all his eff
forts, one who is equally anxious to do
good, and one who has made great sacrif-
ces to help on the work of the Lord. Their
only children-twin sons, about eleven
years Of age--are at the present TIME
studying in the Metropolitan Tabernacle
College, and it is the earnest prayer not
only of their parents, but of thousands,
that both may be the subjects of distin-
gushing grace; that both may be endowed
with talents suitable for the Christian
ministry, and that both may be made as
useful as their hOnored father. That they
have some good in their youthful hearts

When Mr.. and Mrs. Sturgeon had depart
ed last year on their summer tour, the
two boys entered into conversation with
each other as to how they should act with
respect to the evenings devotions. After
some consultation on the subject, it was
finally arranged that one should read the
chapter and that the other should pray.
When the evening had come and the hour
of prayer had arrived, they called together
all connected with the house, and having
read and prayed as they had planned dur
ing the day, they dismissed the servants
and retired to repose. When the parents
returned home and learned what had been
done, with tears they embraced their little
ones, and rendered praises and thanksgiv-
ings unto Cod"

Do THE IsRAELIrEs NEITHER INCREASE
NOR DECREASE MIR. J. j. Peres recently
delivered sermon in the Jewish Syna-
gogue in Memphis, on the Passover. 1t
attracted considerable attention, and was
highly spoken of as an intellectual effort.
The Memphis Avalanche learns that Of
the many propositions he presented was
one seeking to prove show the Israelites
were SO visibly under the influences of the
consequence of the dispersion, and that the
divine prediction: 'and the land Of your
enemies shall not consume you,' and AL
though in the land of your enemies, I will
not destroy you,' has been and is literally
fulfilled, for the number of the Israelites
this day is in round figures the same as
it was two thousand years ago. Is there
another nation where such phenomenon
has taken place! They are not destroyed,
nor do they increase" We give this
synopiszed extract from the sermon be-,
cause it presents proposition that will
strike our readers as curious, at least.

DON'T BELIEVE INIT.

Under this head we find the following
going the rounds which contains some hits
very appropriate to this locality:
The man who "doesn't believe in adver-
Using" is all the while doing what he de-
precates. He hangs coats outside of his
door, or puts dry goods in his windows
that's advertising. He sends out drum
mers through the country, or puts his name
on his wagon-that's advertising. He has
printed cards lying on his counter-that's
advertising. He labels his articles or his
manufactures-that's advertising. If he
has lost his cow, he puts written notice
in the post office, or tells his sister-in-la W
and that's advertising, too. He has his
name put up in gilt letters over his door
what is that but advertising? He
paints his shop, green or red; or if a tailor,
he wears the latest styles; if doctor, he
has his boy call him out of church in haste,
if an auctionoer, he bellows to attract the
attention of passcrs-by; if heavy mer-
chant, he keeps huge pile of boxes on the
sidewalk in front of his store-and all this
is advertising.
A man can't do business without adver-
tising, and the question is whether to call
to his aid the engine that moves the world
the printing press, with its thousands of
messengers working night and day, the
steam engines adding to its repeating ca
pacity untold power and miraculous
speed; or, rejecting all these, go back to
the days when newspapers, telegraphs
and railroads were unknown.
"But advertising costs monoyp So
does everything that is worth having. If
advertising cost nothing all the second,
third and fourth class petty shops would
stand an equal chance with the most re-
sponsible house. If you want to prove to
the world that yours is a first class estab-
lishment, advertise.

sThey are taxed on their clothing, their
meat and their bread, on their carpets,

they are taxed SO severely they can't sleep
% nights. They are taxed on their Offices,

their wash-tubs, their brooms and their
mops, on their shrouds and their tomb
stones, and after they die, they are taxed
on the collins in which they must lie.
They are stamped on their mortgages,
notes, checks and bills, on their deeds, on
their contracts, and on their last wills; and

during the war the Quartermastor's De-

authority at Washington, paid negro team
sters twenty-five dollars per month and
rations, while white soldiers detailed for
duty as transfers were only paid sixteen
dollars and rations. An Illinois soldier

A Washington letter to the Chicago
Times has the following: What will hon
est and honorable people say when tell
them that, at this moment, the President
has a letter from General Butler in his
possession, asking to be appointed Secreta-
ry of War! In this letter, General But
Ter assures the President that he will use
the office in helping him to restore the old
Democratic party, to which himself and
the President once belonged, to power. If
General Butler denies that he wrote such
a letter, the President is ready to produce
it at any time.

Shakespeare says that "there's nothing
to be got nowadays, unless thou capst
fish for it," and it appears that large
portion of the superior race agree with
him on this score. On every warm, sun
ny day the banks of our classic little
stream are lined with the sable gentlemen
of case, who, "having nothing else to do"
precious little "to wear" and less to eat,
''fsh for it," That is, they procure q
rod or staff of some kind, attach cotton
string to it and at t'other end Of "those
string" pin hook, and cast it into the
stream. This herculean task performed,
they crawl upon the sunny bank and resign
themselves to "balmy Sleep" never caring
whether they get "bite" or not, and thus
our "constistewshun" makers and future
Congressman rest until the falling dews

WHERE THE School FUND WENr.-The
Nashville Banner says: The entire cost
of Brownlow's militia has, so far, been
ascertained to have been $4,000, which
will, when the whole account is settled,
reach $325,000. During the time the
militia was in service, and up to the first
of January last, almost every cent of reye>.
nue. paid into the State Treasury was
used to defray its expenses. In conse--
quence, when the January (l868) inter-
est fell due there was no money in the
Treasury with which to meet it. How the
State credit was to be sustained by the
prompt payment of the interest due was
question very easily answered by Brown
low and his advisers-for the "sacred"
school fund, or what was left after the
Radical bodies had all taken their slice,
amounting to the neat little sum of $780,
600, very quickly suggested itself as
means by which the State might be re-
lieved from so great financial pressure
This fund or at least 100000 of it, was
devoted to the payment of the january in~
terest. We get this information from
reliable source.
