At the rate We are going, according

that Secretary BOrie, who has been

he had no fitness for the place, and

The Press and Times is diligent
in search of the columns of the
Democratic press Of this State for
paragraphs reprehending agitation;
and Andrew J Johnson is represented
as the great agitator. One would
suppose part of the Apocalyptlc
vision was being realized in Ten
nessee, and that the devil had been
unloosed. Who has Mr.. johnson
agitated2
Now, this is all CANNON, and a
sheer Radical device. We have
been a tolerably careful reader of
what Mr.. johnson has said, and
have yet to find word at all revo-
lutionary in sentiment, or that need
agitate anything that does notneed
agitating. If to express and de-
nOunce. the misrule which bears
sway, and to explain to the people
the mischief to which it is
tending, and to eXhort them to re
cur to the first principles of govern

or present attitude that should de-

has. Therefore, to decry Mr. John
son because he sees fit to appear be-

every Conservative and Democrat
most ardently desires, is all fol-de-

of our Democratic contemporaries.
The Press and Times, however,

GOV. HARRIS AND PRESIDENT
IAHRRnR

1t was stated by the travelling
correspondent of the Cincinnati
Commercial that it is generally
understood in Memphis that ex Gov.
Harris is the author of the bitter
attack upon Andrew johnson which
recently appeared in the Memphis
Ledger" Knowing Gov. Harris as
we do, we were satisfied that this
suspicion as to the authorship of
the exceedingly acrimonious at
tacks on President Johnson which
have lately appeared in the editorial
columns of the Memphis Ledger,
were not written or even instigated
by Gov. Harris. We are therefore
gratified to find in the Ledger con
firmation of this opinion. In its
issue of the I'D inst, that paper
says: a.- @
In justice to Gov. Harris, we would
say that the impression, if any exist in
the community that he is the author of
the articles published in the Ledger,
showing up Andrew johnson, is entirely
unfounded"
The coupling of the name of
Gov. Harris with the attack of the
Ledger on President Johnson, was
a weak invention Of the enemy
for it may have been suggested by
Memphis Radicals to the CORES
pondent of the Commensurate
give a Fictitious Importance to the
Ledger's arraignment of the ex-
President. 1t is creditable to the
Ledger that it has promptly dis
posed of this little trick. ~

MalariOus FOgs.

Countless millions Of cubic feet of malariou;
vapor reek from the moist earth every twenty
four hours during the month OF November. Thi:
evaporated moisture is the active principle
which begets fever and ague, bilious remittente
indigestion, dysentary, bilious cholic, rheuma
tism, and many other ailments which prevail
more generally in the Fall than at other seasons
and some of which, in low, swampy regions and
new clearings, take the form Of virulent epden'
les. The best safeguard against these com.
plants, as evidenced by the exporter ce of long
series of years, is HOSTETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS, the most pleasant and at the same
time the most efficient of all vegetable tones.
The invigoration OF the system is manifestly the
best means of defending il against the causes of
sickness whether constitutional or casual. Ma.
ture. as every pathologist knows, is the most
determined enemy of disease, and the parOxisms
OF ar acute malady are in most instances the
consequences of the efforts she makes to con.
quer the foe. The great object, therefore Of
preventive treatment is to reinforce the system
and it is accomplished thoroughly, rapidly and
safely, by the use of HOSTET1ER'S BITTERS.
This powerful tonic contains also an APPARENT
and corrective principle. 1t is no less valuable
as a regulator and purifier than as an invigO.
rant. and there is no danger of exciting the
brain or overstimulating the circulation by elm.
ploying it as an antidote.

Extraordinary Suicide.

was their wont, pleasantly conversing
in the family sitting room, when the
suhiect of the recent "Owensboro Fair"
came up incidentally. Not the slightest
apparent Importance was given the
matter, when Stanley remarked :
Mother, wish you woule let me have
o little money; l believe I'll GO to that
fair" To this his mother replied
STANLEY, | do wish you wouldn't ask
me for money to go there. / wish you
would not GO. You are only Is years
old. and | do not think it wise OF

A Nent swindle-Thc nan who Ore"
The Coliseum Paws only sixteen
Gents for His Ticker.

The man who drew the Coliseum has
obtained sudden notoriety which Will
probably be as brief as il is intense,
though it may increase his trade by adj
yertising his wares. All through Satur-
day afternoon and Sunday the people
were in feverish state of anxiety to
know the name of the fortunate man;
and now that it has been ascertained
that his name is J.. l.. Mcguire, and that
he is "lumber dealer" the matter has
q suspicious look. An Investigation
showed and it is publicly announced
that he with others entered into an
agreement with the Coliseum Assocla-
tion to purchase on Saturday morning
all of the tickets which had hot been
sold at that time. 1t is said that he paid
sixteen cents apiece for the tickets, pur-
chasing for that sum about five thou
sand, while thousands of people had
paid one dollar apiece for all that had
been sold previous to that time. 1t is
said that "ether parties" who were in
partnership with Mr.. Mcguire will have
their share of the 49, 900, for which the
lumber will sell, if taken by the build
ers, but as Mr.. G. is q lHmber dealer, he
will probably dispose of the component
parts Of the structure to much better
advantage in his own lumber yard.
Much indignation is expressed among
the disappointed ticket holders, who
are cOnversant with the facts, and a
management who would sell one ticket
fer one dollar and another for sixteen
cents is denounced in unmeasured terms.
As it was drawn by lumber dealer,
or a ring in which lumber dealer is
the central figure, the public mind is
unanimous in considering the whole
lottery "put up job Not many peo-
pie will 60 for the lesser prizes, which
consist of snail pieces of decorations,
settees and chairs. Visitors during the
Jubilee will remember the wooden
chairs and wooden settees which had
been improvised for the occasion, and
which are worth just their weight in
kindling wood, as no one wants a SOU
venir of a Jubilee whose last chapter
has been an ignoninious lottery. 1t is
lust as we'll that Mr.. p. 5. Gilmore is in
Europe at this time, as the protector OF
what some of the Boston papers slop-
ping called 1.-The Eighth Wonder Of the
World" would net be such q tremendous
hero as he was in June. If the Jubilee
was the Eighth Wonder, the Great Lot
terry may probably be called The
Ninth Wonder of the World. "-Ncic York

DELAWARE TOWN CLAIMED

Consiernation at Ciayton-A Man
from California Claims the Whole
Town.
The Wilmington Commercial has the
following:
Some years ago man named Richard
Tibbett held possession of about one
hundred acres of land in Kent county,
through which, in course of time, the
Delaware Railroad passed. As, owing
to the indifference of the Smyrnians,
the railroad did not 60 to that town, q
station, called Smyrna Station, was
built, mainly for tho accommodation of
its people, in about tho middle of the
Tibbett farm. Around this station, in
the course of time, a village was built,
which was called Clayton.
The rest of the story we will let the
Clayton Herald tell. 1t is as follows:
"About three years ago, man claim
ing to be Richard Tibbetts brother ar
rived in the vicinity, and stated tnat
the land having been entailed by their
father to Richard, during their life, and
at his death, to him, he was the rightful
owner. and commenced, or was about
to commence, salt for the land. In
short time, however, this claiming
brother seemed to have got d flea in his
ear and suddenly disappeared; whether
he went down in a cave, or mp in bal
loon, we have never been able to ascer'
tain, and whether he disappeared by
fair play or foul play, the Oldest inhab-
liant has never informed us.
"And now comes on John Whortenby,
hailing from the far-off State of Califor-
mia, and claiming to be the nephew and
legal heir of the aforesaid Richard.
This last claimant evidently means bust
ness, having caused to be served npon
the tenant, Mr.. Gilmore, writ of eject
ment to try and determine the title"
