Smiths Tonic Syrup!
 FOR THE CURE OF AG . . < N D ? 9 V E E
 OR CHILLS & FEVER.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicin jnstly claims for it superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the safe, certain, speedy. and permanent cure or Ague and Fever or Chills and Fever whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the as. .ertion, that in no case whatever will 1t fail to cure, if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for cure, and whole families have been cured by single bottle, With perfect restoration of the gen eral health. It is, however, prudent, and Tn every case more certain to cure, if its use IS continued in smaller doses for week or two after the disease has been checked, more es- pecially in difficult and long-standing eases. Usually, this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL s VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufi- cient.

sH~ We are highly gratified to pub fish notice of special school meeting in this district. It is very commenda- ble, and everybody should feel and take an active interest in matter of so much importance to the country. We are much in need of public schools many children are deprived ot the means of education, and when this sys- tenn of common schools is put in ope- ration it will be in the reach of every one. The law requires apublic school taught three months in the year, and it requires the trustee to call together the legal voters of the district to select site and vote tax for the purpose of building house and employing teacher. Many of the districts have already put their public schools in operation, and we are satisfied this district will take an interest and attend the school meet inc. and vote the necessary tax to build respectable school house--one that will answer for years to come. This district is No. 4, and embraces all oNownship 4 N, West, and N, w, an N, 8 w, in Prairie county.

NASHVILLE. April IA special
train, with 4 Committee of Reception,
went to Murfrsesboro this morning, to
meet the train from Chattanooga, on
which ex-President Johnson was a pas
senger, and bring him to Nashville. On
the arrival Of the train at Nashville, q
large number Of people had assembled at
the depot, and, in response to q call, Mr..
Johnson spoke about thirty minutes. he
arrived here about half past four pm. on
the special train, and was enthusiast
tically received st the depot by about
Ave thousand persons, who mad met
there for that purpose. He was escorted
through the principal streets by q de-
tachment Of police, q brass band, and a
considerable number Of negroes. He
rode in an open carriage, and was
cheered on sill sides. A long line Of
horsemen and carriages followed him.
The procession finally halted at the st.
Cloud Hotel, where Mr.. Johnson made
G brief speech, returning thanks for the
respect and honor shown him by the
people, and announcing that he was in
favor of removing the political dissbili-
ties Of every man DISTINGUISHED In Ten
nessee.
Eek Gov. Neil s. Brown also spoke, in
response to repeated calls.
All along the route, from Knoxville
to this place, Mr.. johnson received
marks of the confidence of his old
friends, having been received at all
points OF Importance by large masses.
The Radicals tske no part in these dem
o~nstrations. Mr.. Johnson speaks at the

the highest office in the gift Of
the people, and the one mcst
expressive Of their majesty and power,
sought 70 be disgraced, not alone by
sn-unwsrranted and unjust impesch-
Hent, but by the pssssge~ of the act
which, under the style Of the tenure-o:-
Office bill, remains to hamper and con-
troll President GRANT. The people were
in Iio5e days invited to consider not
alone the abolition OF the important
cfiee so ably filled By Mr.. JOHNSON, but
The Supreme Court, at one time pro-
nouncsd By the present Secretery OF the
Treasury but the creature OF Congress,
and sutjcet to lis will. Yet, withal, we
are not prepared to believe that the pee
pie, in any great numbers, will grant
security against reputation at the eX-
oenes of the individual liberty that has
made the United States and given them s
distinctive and envisble civilization.
Changes may come, and perhaps more
revolutionary than those with which
The industry OF the country wrestled last
wear. We nay even live to behold what
the New York San calls for and the
ultra Radicals demand, the adjustment
Of the Presidential office and the asser-
ton Of the supremacy OF Congress in
law as it now is ia fact. But We believe
chat out Of euch q revolution ss this
would inaugurale, the country would
emerge purified Of the shemeless thieves
who sit in high places, and whose proper
office, were justice administered them,
would be that which is to-day filed by
many better men in the various peni-
tentiaries Of the country. 1t is worthy
OF remembrance that before the
existence of R2diezlism no such
violence to the sentiment Of the
people Of the country would have
been tolerated as this which il proposed
By tbs LmpsTialiSt. Such a venture in
journalism would have excited some
thing more than comment-the indigus-
ton of the people would have suppressed
it, il with violence they did not totally
abolish press, types and editor. But the
disregard of law, the forms of law and
the ancient oustems Of the Republic, by
Congress and Legislatures, has prepared
the minds Of the people to entertain
what in better days would have been
considered an insult to our good sense
and accepted as a gusge Of battle by the
p~opulace. Not in the belief of the posi-
bi.ity of q successful Imperialism do we
thus give publication to the facts above,
but only IS part Of the news Of the day,
akin to the movement Of the San, al
ready alluded to- settling forth that
thera is q "chsnge coming DER the
spigit of our dream" the body and
form Of which may be an Imperialism
or may be an Oligarchy.
