A Positive Remedy for all
kinds of Humors.

TTNHIs excellent medicinal compound was nrst
i prepared by DR.. j. W. POLAND, in 1917,
md was then employed with great success N
cxpelling humors from the bIoodi but in 1918
medical friend who was quite celebrated as physI
clan, especially in the treatment of humors sug.
gcstCd some important improvements, which werc
adopted and which has made It $50 the people say
the very best remedy for all kinds of humors known
to "thc faculty"
This preparation Is composed entirely of vcse.a.
bles, among which arc Sarsaparilla, Yellow Dock,
Noble Pine, Mandrake, and Bloodroot.
When the originator lived in New Hampshire, Of
GoTstown Centre, for the space Of thirty or forty
miles around and In Manchester particularly, tho
Humor Doctor was well known and highly valued
for the numerous md wonderful cures which 1t ef
fected. Though manufactured in large quantities,
the supply was frequently exhausted, and purchRs'
ers had to wait for more to be made. In that re-
glon, some very severe cases of Erysipelas were
treated with, and they were cured Erysipelas
cores or carbunclCs, those ugly, painful ulcers,
were entirely removed wherever this medicine
was faithfully used. So It was with Scrofula and
salt.Rhcum. The ITumor Doctor cured them.
Its free from any dangerous drugs, is pleasant to
the taste safe yet sure and effective in It's action.

THE LATEINDIAN MAssACRE-CUS
TAR AND BLACK KETTLE.

The Chicago Times states that
conversation with the military men
in that city last week-thOse in ac
tive service are alluded to-goes far
toward proving that the late attack
upOn Black Kettle by Gen. Gustav
was nothing but an unwarranted
massacre, pure and simple. In an
exchange of views with an officer
on Gen. Grants staff, on the 14th
inst. one of the editors of the
Times was enlightened in substance
as follows There is a strong feel
ing among military men, at Wash
ingtOn, that Custar has made a
serious mistake; and that his attack
is simply repetition Of the Chiv-
ingtOn affair. Colonel WynkOOp is
a man who is thoroughly reliable,
and his assertion Of the pacific
character of Black Kettle and his
band can be relied on. His state
ment, in this respect, is indOrsed by
General Palmer, who is thoroughly
familiar with matters on the plains.
] think that General Custar was, in
a measure, forced into making the
attack. After marching the long
distance that he did, his men prob
ably demanded and would have
blood" The Times states that this
opinion is undoubtedly that Of Gen.
Grant; and that it most as
suredly is that Of Gen. Sherman,
whose quick, clear brain readily
distinguishes between right and
wrong, and which cannot be misled
by the glowing accounts of Sheri-
dan, or those of his subordinate,
Gustav. 1t will be some satisfaction
to the public to know that there is
clear appreciation of this affair on
the part of our leading military
men. 1t would be a good deal
more satisfactory could the public
know that the unwarranted atrOcity
of the occurrence would operate to
prevent its repetition. But one can
scarcely entertain any such hope,
The Chivington horror produced
some few outbursts of disgust and
condemnation throughout the coun-
try, but we do not see that 1t re-
suited in any permanently good
effects. Touching Black Kettle
and his friendly offices toward the
United States, the Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Gd-ettc writes on the 18th inst. as

WENDELL PHILLIPS SRURBED BY
PHILADELPHIA

1t appears that "the culture and
literary mind" of Philadelphia can
not appreciate Wendell Phillips, at
least that is the deduction from his
reception in that city a few even
ings ago. The Philadelphia Press
states that Phillips "for two hours
addressed the people Of Philadel.
phia, pleading as he has pleaded
for half a century, the elementary
truths Of radical progress" and
"that his hearers but half filled
Concert Hall was not TO the credit
of Philadelphia" The Press then
rails out: "a pioneer thinker, a
gentleman of culture, finished
scholarship, and polished oratory,
on whose lips have hung the best
audiences of the country, the empty
benches were reflection on the
culture and literary mind of our
city, not on the speaker" Then
turning with still profounder pathos
upon the Irish and negroes who
had also decided to let Mr.. Phillips
severely alone, " it adds: at might
have been reasonably supposed that
the Celtic and colOred races, in
whose behalf Mr.. Phillips appeared,
would have crowded every aisle
and seat; but it was not so" This
is indeed sad state of things.
Such manifestation of contemptu
GUS Indifference, not only by "the
culture and literary mind" Of Phil
adelphia, but by the Irish, and
especially by the negroes, was
enough to draw "iron tears from
Pluto's cheek"

THE LEGAL TENDER CASE.

The suits before the Supreme
Court now pending for decision and
attracting SO much attention, in
volve a single but comprehensive
point. The ease from New York
Bronson, executor, rs. Rodes--repre-
SCENTS the question.
1t is whether contract payable
according to its terms in gold and
silver coin, made before the passage
of the legal tender law, could be
discharged after its passage by a
payment in legal tender notes. If
It be decided that such a tender was
not sufficient, parties who have re
ceived treasury notes in return for
coin deposits, OF for coin contrac cts,
may recover the difference
The opening argument thus
stated the merits of the case The
suit originated in the State of New
York by a bill in which the equita-
BILE powers of the court were in
voked to compel the enactment Of
Il mortgage. The only popularity
this mortgage consists in the fact
hat the mortgage deed, instead Of
specifying dollars, merely provided
that it should be paid " in gold or
silver coin, lawful money Of the
United States The mortgage was
made in the year 1851 and matured
in the year 1857. In the year 1868,
after the passage Of the legal tender
act, the complainant in the suit be
low acquired a title TO the equity OF
redemption in the mOrtgaged prem
ises. ard shortly afterwards he ten
dcred to the MORTGAGE, the plaintiff
in error, the nominal amount of the
mortgage debt in treasury notes on
a day when the value Of those notes
as compared with coin was as l tc
225; that is, 81 in gold was
equal to 81 % in the money
rendered. The tender was re
fused, and the action was
brought to compel a cancellation o
the mortgage. When this case wa,
first heard before his Honor Justir,
Grover, a member of the Supreme
Court of the State of New York, the
bill was dismissed, his Honor there

was not equivalent to the kind o

WHAT WILL THE RADIC.,s Dos


We print elsewhere in this morn
ing's UNION AND AMERICAN pretty
strong article from the Memphis
Bulletin, Radical organ, in favor
of the establishment in this State
of manhood suffrage. Our object
in reproducing the Bulletin s article
is to show to the members of the
Legislature and others, that liberal
ideas are making some Roadway
even in Tennessee. This spirit of
iberality and progress has reached
the Legislature, and We have had
some manifestations from that body
Of a disposition TO sweep away the
barriers to peace and prosperity in
the State. There is every incentive
to adopt much more liberal policy
than has been pursued by the party
in power since the reorganization of
the State government, and the rea-
son for this is very distinctly pOia-
ted out by the Memphis Bulletin,
especially in its quotation from the
st. Louis Democrat. The policy
adopted by the Radical lead
ers has no doubt kept thous-
ands of men from immigra-
ting to this State who would have
made good and substantial citizens
With all tho efforts that have been
made to induce immigration, the
tide which has flown into this State
has been very small one indeed
I The internal condition of the State
is not such as to invite men of CAPT.
? tai and energy to cast their lot
f with US, and they know full wei
; that the so-called "Rebels" are MOI
+, responsible for this condition. The
. st. Louis Democrat stated a fac
that is hatent to every man, thai
the Radicals of this State "made the
mistake of establishing their gov
eminent upon too narrow a tasis,
/ and that "by the peculiar violenc'
of tone adopted by many of theil
{ leaders, they drove away from thu
$ Radical party many men wh'
would have supported less often
9 sive policy" Every man in Ten
nessee knows this to be literally
true. This offensive policy" ha
I been ruinOus to the material inter
!, ests of the State, but the mel
I who inaugurated and have KEEP
! in force, and made even more often

A holders, the taxpayers do. If the.

had been in a condition to hav

Mr.. WILsoN. of Massachusetts,

Mr.. WILSON, of Massachusetts,
introduced bill in the United
States Senate to increase the num-
Der of Supreme Judges to fourteen.
When Judge Carton died, the Radis
Gals in Congress passed a law which
prevented President Johnson from
appointing successor. The law
was so framed that the President
could not appoint a successor to
Judge Wayne when he died. The ex-
cuse'for the passage of this law WIS
economy, The Supreme Court is
now composed of eight members,
while there were nine thirty, years
ago, and there is no doubt that
more Judges are needed, but not
more so than when Congress passed
law preventing appointments by
President johnson. The cry OF
economy which was raised, was
hypocritical, as is demonstrated by
the proposition to so increase the
number of Judges as to give the ap-
pOintment of six TO Gen. Grant.
