Advertising is an Art.

The reading public have recently been
made acquainted with Mr.. Hembold-
"the Buchu man." as he is called
through his generous donation of forty
thousand dollars to the Democratic. CAM
paign fund, and still further by his offer
to bet million dollars on the election
of Seymour and Blair. An exchange
asks and answers the question, "Where
did this mans money come from r and
says:
Five years ago Henibold was poor man,
but fall of business tact and shrewdness,
and resolved not to remain poor. He cast
about and found the philosophers stone in
the barrels of printing ink there was turned
out from the manufactures of the North,
and distributed to every portion of the
country. This he availed himself of, and
by judicious, but most liberal system OF
advertising, chiefly in the newspapers, has,
in q very brief period, amassed fortune.
The more he spent the greater his gains.
until his bills now amount to hundreds of
thousands, and his receipt to perhaps mil
lions. Nor was it mere experiment with
him. He gathered wisdom from the expe-
rience of others. In casting his eyes over
the business world, where he saw meagre
few who had amassed fortunes in a quiet
sort of way, he also saw thatin nearly every
instance where man had anything worth
having, and advertised it freely, he had
grown to wealth and influence in the world.
He had, therefore. only to follow in the
footsteps of his predecessors, and did it
wisely and well.
Our business men have yet to learn
the value and Importance of judicious
advertising; they have yet to be taught
the truth of what was said long ago,
that the man who paid more for store
rent than for advertising was ignorant
of half his business. This is reading
age and country, and people expect to
find everything worth knowing in the
columns of frst-class newspaper.

Secretary Of War.

Special to the Louisville Journal)
WASHINGTON, May %.
In their efforts to convict Messrs. Hen
derson, Ross, Van Wrinkle and other Seua-
tors of bargain and corruption, the i'm
parchment managers are bringing some of
their best friends into an awkward scrape.
Among the witnesses they have had before
them was Edmund Cooper, of Tennessee,
Assistant Secretary of the Treasury,
through whom they expected to obtain
some valuable testimony. And this ex-
peotation they have fully realize d-though,
to tell you the truth, that testimony turns
out to be not exactly the sort of thing they
bargained for. On being placed upon the
witness stand to-day and interrogated by
Butler as to what he knew about attempts
to bride Senators to vote for acquittal Last
Saturday, Mr.. Cooper testified that Senator
PoIneroy, Of Kansas, through his brother
n-law, Gaylord, made overtures to him, as
the friend Of the President, for the sale of
Pomeroy's vote and those of four other
radical Senators for the sum Of forty thous-
and dollars-ten thousand apiece. Sus-
pectng design on che part of Gaylord and
Pomeroy to entrap him, Cooper led them
on until he had secured from Pomeroy a
letter pledging himself to stand by any
arrangement Cooper aud Gaylord might
agree upon. Having secured the letter
thus getting ''the dead wood" on Pome-
roy, Cooper declined the proposals that had
been made him. HaJing failed to sell hiE
vote 10 the President, the Kansas Senator
threw il in favor of conviction. Thus this
investigation business of Managers, instead
Of playing the mischief with "the reerean
Senator's" rips open the mask Of the ras
cality Of the impeachers sad lays It bare t.
the public gaze.
Considerable dissatisfaction is felt b.
Stevens against Butler for summoninl
Cooper without consulting the other man
ayers. Old Thad. told Butler that a vii
lage lawyer would have known better tina
to allow such testimony to come out.

The following letter, dated Nashville,

An influence is at work IN this State, as
have discovered since my recent depart

patton by the late Confederate soldiers in
the coming convention of the Democracy
Of Tennessee. 20 be held at Nashville on
the 9th of June, aud in the National Demo

on the 4th Of July.
1t does not amount to 8 purpose to arbi-
trsFily do this thing but is felt IN efforts
TO induce every one who took any part in
the recent struggle Of the Confederacy for
independence, to decline attending at these
assemblies upon pretended grounds of ex-
Pediency, and to submit the representation
Of Tennessee at New York TO men who
were known TO be for the Union.
Upon consultation with many of my late
associates in the war, have concluded to
advise against any further emasculation of
ourselves in the party movements Of the
State.
We are already sufficiently prescribed
IN the constitution and statutes which now
govern the State, against our consent, the
prescriptions of which have, through the
mendaoious hostility of our Legislative enc
mics, been added to time and again, until
now We barely live under the accumulated
weight Of Acknowledgement and oppression.
Shall we superadd. by our own action, to
those prescriptions and exorcisms of our
selves from all participation in the assem-
blies in the State and National Democracy,
aud publish TO the world confession that
We are too unworthy to intrude ourselves
into the councils of the party 4? The Ma
lional Democratic party, through its COM
mittee. have invited US TO take Part in the
convention which is to assemble at New
York on the 9TH Of July. 1t prsscribes no
test oaths, no qualifications dependent up
on the part we have taken 10 the late war,

opens it's doors aud invites all who may
Chooseto come, without reference to the

true representatives Of the greater portion
OF the constitutional men Of the State fee
ourselves unworthy to soil the deliberations
Of that Convention with our presence
