NITROUS OXIDE GAs.-Systematlc eX-
periments have been made by the Lon
don Dental Hospital and the Odontolog-
ic:ll Society 10 test the real merits OF nj
trous oxide gas as an anasthetic agent
and the result is that for what are term
ell in medical phraseology capital opera
tions, those which are severe and pro-
longed, the agent has at present no claim
TO be used as an annsthetic; but it acts
well in minor cases, where the operative
procedures are short and not severe; and
for this reason it is of greatest use IN the
extraction of teeth, be it one or several.
There is little doubt that the nitrous OK
ide gas will supercede chloroform gener-
allv with dentists. In America the gas
has been administered in POO, 900 cases,
with only one death; the gas being CIV

/ There do not appear to be any special
conditions Of the system, age or tempera-
mcnt or the like, which forbid the use of
thc ann.thctic. Children are most read
ily affected by the gas, remain the short
est time an;rsthetized, and recover more
rapidly than others. The reverse is the
case with females s-Boston Journal.

A Convention has been called 10 assemble
at Elizabethton, on the LIST Monday of May
next, TO noninatc a Republican candidate for
oar Senatorial Representative ~ the next
General Assembly. Hon. P. P, c, Nelson our
former faithful Representative is a candidate
for re-election, andColJohu K.Miller OF CSTter
viii accept the nomination Of this COuyen-
ton, If rendered him.
This Convention should express fully the
wishes Of the loyal Republicans Of this Dis
trict, The various counties should hold pri-
mary meetings, select delegates and instruct
them as to their choice. The votes in the
Convention should be cast upon the basis Of
the Republican strength Of the various coun-
ties polled at the last November election.
Such a Convention viii be a fair one, and
none other, and its nominee we will support
with our feeble ability and Influence.

his pame upOn our MASTHEAD, as our
FIRST choice for this position. But if ever he
so far loses respect for himself and the peo-
pie, or befouls the Judicial ermIne be has so
nobly and efficiently worn, as TO appear upon

Speaking on Monday.

At the adjournment Of Court for dinner,
His Honor Judge Swami announced himself
"a candidate for The Supreme hench, for
the Eastern Division Of the State. lie pitched
into thu present incumbent, Hon George An
dreWs, like =" a thousand of brick" and if we
" are any judge Of small matters" his relsS-
tions upon Mr. Andrews, to say the least Of
it, were of an exceedingly personal nature.
He represented him rs a mere %adventurSr or
'tbird Of passage" remaining in Tennessee
simply for Office, and repeatedly declared
that be had reached his present p%ositioh "by
a plain and palPable violation Of the Consti-
tation Of the State, which requires a CITIZEN
ship o: three years for eligibility 10 ell the
office of Supreme Judge. This charge againtt
Nr, Andrews involves the Official honor and
integrity Of Senator RrowuloV, who, as Gov
ernor Of Tennessee, appointed him to the
Supreme Bench. We are rather inclined to
the opinion that when our Senator reads this
article, be will furnish the Republican press
of the State with q vindieA;ion against. this
indirect attack of Judge Swami, that will
euphatically contradict the gentleman's as
suranes that be is no place-hunter.
Judge Swami doled outa dish, not Of sAl-
magundi it is true, but one We thought very
pleasing to the paiates Of those, who look
upon the Northern immigrant as an myudtr,
for we noticed their eountenancss frightened
with a smile, when be spoke sneeringly aud
di~sparsgingly Of the " earpet-baggern' An.
drews. he remarked that Mr.. Andrews was
mainly indebted to bought newspaper Is pufs'
for his character rs q Jurist. As for our
selves we have to say 10 this connection, we
are decidedly and emphatically in favor OF
Judge Andrews in this contest, and wo have
had no understanding with him in this rela-
ton in any way whatsoever, except the mere
announcement o. bis candidacy for which we
charge him the usual fee. We are not the
men, whose principles and support are on
change nor are we foundering in that cess
pool Of corruption, where Judge Swami has
placed oar contemporaries in favor Of Ne.
Andrews, anxious 70 sell 81 the influence Of
our types % the markst-man vsndE bis beef.

When the Judge concluded bis address,

sentative and Speaker Of the higher branch
