EVIDENCE OF PRosPERITY.-As q
substantial evidence of the permanent
prosperity Of Hickman and the large
dry goods trade being conferred here, we
invite view of the retail and wholesale
house of J. Amberg. Mr.. Nose Amberg,
of this house, has just returned from the
eastern cities, where he has purchased
one of the finest and largest stocks of
goods ever brought to this market, and
which is now being received. The char
acter of the Ambergs as merchants Is
we'll known throughout this entire coun-
try, and the particular object of this
notice is to attract attention to the whole
sale room of this house-a feature which
is bound to result in the advancement OF
the general prosperity of our town
They are enabled to sell aS wholesale at
as low figures as Nashville, st. Louis,
Cairo, or any adjoining markets, for the
reason that they purchase directly In
New York, in large quantities, and at
precisely the same prices and terms as
merchants of the cities named. Their
stock is not to be excelled by any in
Western Kentucky, including Cairo and
Paducah; and, indeed, we are glad to
note that they fill large bills from all'our
! adjoining towns, which is an indication
iof the reward of their enterprise. The
house is pride to Hickman, and we
hope the day is not far distant when
every Hickman merchant may have.

day, the 9th inst, $ = aIoh time he wa
riding large black mule, and had with
him saddle-bags and an overcoat.
The murdered man appeared to be
about So years of age, had long iron gray
whiskers and hair the same color, about
five feet z inches high, and would weigh
probably $50 pounds. He was dressed
in brown jeans pants, light drab vest,
and dark brown half sack coat.
The murder was committed in the edge
of Hickman, and officers of that and this
county are on the alert to discover the
perpetrators of the deed. Beyond the
existence of some mule tracts around the
place where the body was found and the
fact that some of the neighbors heard the
firing of the guns, no clue has yet been
discovered.
p. S.-Since the above, we are inform
ed, that it is now believed by the officers
engaged in ferreting out the matter, that
the murdered man was a robber and be-
longed to a gang of horse thieves in
Tennessee, and that he was killed by
some Tennessee farmers who overlook
him riding mule belonging to some Of
their party. We yet are ignorant as to
who the man was or who killed him.

Heavy Failure of a Carpet
Dagger.

He Abuses the Confidence of
Friends Social and Political.

The community of Hickman and vi
entity have been considerably excited
during the past week by the failure and
absconding of H.. NJ. Robinson, the pro-
prietor of the Eagle FIGURING Mills in
this place. Robinson by his attention
and promptness in business heretofore
had gained the confidence of our bust
ness men, and in consequence large ad-
vanees were readily made upon his or
ders, and large number of our farmers
sold him their entire wheat crops simply
eontenting themselves with his due bill.
On Wednesday last leading creditors un-
der the suspicion that he was attempting
to ship and make way with all his prop
erty to the end of defrauding his credi-
tors, attached his mill, ETC., etc., and when |
the ball was opened, claims from ell parts
of the country piled in upon him amount
ing to $4,000 or $4,000, and the fset

The facts, however, are entirely to the
contrary Indeed, we know that especial
encouragement was extended to him by
our leading citizens in order to evidence
that our people could raise themselves
above political prejudice, and would dis
countenance any proscriptive measures
towards parties who differed with them
politically: Our statement viii be con-
frmed by all our citizens, Democrats,
Republicans, whites and blacks. The
most lamentable feature of the failure is
that the heavy losses fall upon workmen
in his employ, and farmers throughout
this and adjoining counties, who have
earned their money by the sweat of their
brow. This abuse of confidence is bad
upon our people. We had but one

nous spirit we attempted to make pet

The Recd.Gleason Cause.-The Petition OF
Gleason Denied-rhc Case Abandoned by
the Respondent.
TALLAHASSEE, Dec. 4, 1868.
The Supreme Court TO-DAY decided that the petition
OF Lieutenant Governor Gleason to remove the suit
to the United State Courts under the Civil Rights bill
did not alege any fact which brought the case within
the act referred to, and that Lieutenant Governor
Gleason had had every right extended and had In
this court full and fair hearing, and his complaint,
II he had any, could only be based upon an assumed
discretion vested In him by an erroneous construc
ton Of the Civil Rights bill to revise the decisions OF
the court.
The respondent, Gleason, upon the announcement
OF the opinion, left the court room and his counsel
abandoned the case. A judgment OF custer Is ex-
Justice wescott in announcing his opinion as to
the jurisdiction OF the court stated that the
case was instituted to try the right OF an ind-
Viduai to Office created and existing under the
constitution OF the State; and that the respondent
Gleason, did not belong TO any class which was de-
MED q right guaranteed by the first section OF the
Civil Rights BILL and that he had had full and fair
hearing; that, however, II he was mistaken In his
construction OF the Civil Rights BILL and II It was
"a contended ior unconstitutional Its effects would
be TO place II In the power OF any individual to stay
all legal proceedings In the State courts at his own
discretion. He the Judge further stated that the
ton had been read and that he waiting to meet

honest judicial discretion.
The indications are that on the meeting OF the
Legislature next month the impeachment question
will again be brought up.

DIR. Carnochan, OF this city. recently performed
one OF the heroic feats Of surgical art In the opera
ton OF ovariotomy, removing from the abdomen OF
young woman q tumor weighing sixty-four
pounds The operation was entirely successful,
and affords an admirable illustration OF the
completely satisfactory results OF one OF the bodest
operations known to surgery. With 80 large q
tumor In the abdomen OF o rather small woman life
could have been little else but burden. and the
early death that would have come could have been
regarded only az relief from misery; but by this
operation the woman Is restored to complete health
aud to all the comforts and pleasures OF life that any
may enjoy.
This operation OF evariotomy h one OF the FORE
most steps that conservative surgery has jet taken.
II Ii peculiarly an American triumph In The healing
art and, indeed, bears the stamp OF the cautious
daring that s part Of our national character. Its
FIRST suggestion has been claimed for European
writers, on the strength OF defamation In De
Haen,s "Ratio Medendi,n that Il was dangerous to
propose this operation for fear lest might come
into the mind OF some rash surgeon TO ry II 10 the
loss OF his pateaf.v vslpeau disclaimed 10 as too
dangerous, and Scanzonl, the great German, de-
clared with astonishing ignorance that there was
not an authenticated case OF recovery IN wnlcn the
tumor had been removed through the abdominal
walls. Notwithstanding all this the operation Is
done in this country with complete success, % we
see by Carnochan's case; and Or. A. K Gardner, OF
this city, has shown IN paper printed In the trans
actions OF the Academy OF Medicine, that the haz-
ard In careful hands IL not greater than that OF any
other nrst class operation.

that no great progress can be made so long as the
Apache raids continue. He compliments the regu-
lar troops for the bravery exhibited. He fav0rs
the construction Of the Southern Pacific railroads a.
the means Of subugating the hostile Indians and
opening the country to settlement. The Territorial
debt is $40 600 IN currency, which will be reduced
one-third before the close OF the year. The Wicken
