NOSE ABOUT THAT CONSPIRACY.

Mr.. James A. Doughty is Radi-
cal. He is one of the class who be
lieve that Rebel has no rights
which a "loyaI man" should re-
spect, and hence he is fol retaining
the DISTINGUISHING feature of the
franchise law. In the early stages
of the canvass be came out against
Senter, because he was in favor of
re enfranchising the white tax
payers, and when the candidates
spoke at Knoxville, he abandoned
Stokes, declaring that he was Gas
deep in the mud as Senter was in
the mire." Then he expressed a
willingness to become the standard
bearer of disiranchisement, if any
body would persuade him, but as
no body expressed a desire to vote
for him, he fell back upon Stokes
again. This disappointed aspirant
for gubernatorial honors has been
making speech in Blount county,
and the Knoxville Wing gives this
report of his position:
"Col Doughty set out by saying, that
he and other of the Stokesites hoped to
to get votes enough to elect Gen. Stokes.
| But should they tail in that then they
should still hope to have elected Stokes
Representatives enough to the General
Assembly TO throw out fraudulent votes
enough to defeat Senter and elect Stokes
and should they, unhappily fail In that,
then the plan would be to Impesch Sem
ter and put him out, and then, if all else
failed, TO make an appeal to President
Grant to remand Tennessee to a military
governorship, and thus prevent The rule
Of Dewitt {. Senter.
This explains why he is tol
Stokes now. lie is under the i'm
preston that Stokes has so much
Influence at Washington that he can
make himself Governor, even if the
people should not vote for him
This doughty Stoker would rejoice
to see the State reduced to mill
tary government, and he lets it out
that that rs part Of Stokes plan
in the event he is not elected. Here
is evidence of the existence of The

THE ARREST OF IHL NEGRO POS T.
MASTER AT MACON. GA.

A few days ago it was telegraph
ed that Turner, the negro Post
master of Macon had been ar
rested on acharge of completely with
Martha Harris, a negress, in pass
ing counterfeit money. This was
an error; he was only subpGnaed
as a witness for the prisoner. Still
there were some facts elected which
led to strong suspicion of his be-
ing implicated in the transaction.
On the 18th inst. Turner was arrest
ed on the charge of counterteiting
the signatures to genuine bank
notes of the First National Bank OF
New Jersey, which notes were pur-
Joined from the United States
Treasury Department after they
had been made ready to be turned
over to the bank officers. The case
is said to be very clear one. The
signatures are very inartificially
executed, and manifestly in Turner
handwriting. He was carried be-
fore United States Commissioner
Col. W. c. Morrill,, and after a pre-
liminary examination the case was
laid over to the 18th. Turner gave
bond for his appearance in the sun
of $1,000.

The Memphis Avalanche of the
18th inst. says Mr.. j. f. Rust
Treasurer of the State, has been in
Memphis several days, and is about
to take charge, on behalf of the
State, of the defunct Tennessee Ma.
tional Bank and its assets, that in
sGtution having been released by
the United States government
whose claims are satisfied. 1t now
remains to be seen how much
school fund can be squeezed out
of the thing. Had the proper steps
been taken when the loss of the
school fund became known, mucl
larger portion of it might have beer
saved than will ever be secured
Why these steps were not taker
could perhaps be developed if the
right steps were taken, but it would
present some Of the leaders of thu
Radical party in anything but al
enviable light.

UPPER EAST TENNESSEE.

The Knoxville v hig publishes a
letter from Jonesboro, dated the
18th inst, which says:
"The work goes brayely on in our
county Washington Senter stock is
going up every day. There are now but
yery few left in this mountain town to
advocate the cause of the Bald Eagle OF
the mountains. If the election had come
off the middle of last month Stokes would
have received majority, but now l car
safely insure you that Senter will carry
this county by handsome majority
The people hrve become aroused, and the
excitement runs high"
The Wing says its information
from Hawkins, Hancock, Greene
and Jefferson is of similar i'm
port.
The Stokes organ here disputes
the correctness of the news from
Washington county. Well, W,

A NICE LIrTLE GAME BLOCKED

The Suckers tried to play very
sharp game in Memphis the other

foiled, as the following correspond

cutive Committee of Shelby county
Dear Sir: We have been appointed
committee by and on behalf of the friends
of Gen. Stokes to confer and arrange with
you as to the hour and place for the joint
discussion between him and Gov. Senter
on Saturday next, at Memphis. Will
you please communicate with US person.

the time is so near at hand we deem it
important that the arrangements should
be made by the friends of the respective
candidates at once. Very respectfully,

Messrs. J. NJ. Tomeny, VIM. Hunter,
Capt. Nat. Lowe and others, committee:
Gentlemen, Your Communication of this
date, addressed to me as Chairman of the
Democratic Executive Committee OF
Shelby county, is to hand; and in reply,
we beg leave to say that your PROPOSE tion
is respectfully declined, for the reason
that the Democratic party of Tennesse
has no nominee for Governor in the can
vass, and, therefore, cannot presume tC
offer any suggestions or provide any ar
rangements for the reception and enter
tainment of the Republican candidates
| Respectfully,
A. WOODWARD,
Chairman Shelby County Democrats
Executive Committee.
1t must be admitted this attemp
of the Suckers to secure an appar
ent admission that Gov. Senter i
the Democratic candidate, was mos
handsomely foiled. They vii

l. health in hot weather. NigOr ooZes through
the skin st every pore, and il is by physical
vigor only that unhealthy influences can be baf-
fed and repealed. The vital elements are eVsp-
GRATED in perspiration. Intense heat converts
q man into a self-aceiuE pump, and the moisture
that Is pumped out of him Is derived from the
wellspIings of life within him. There is great
need, therefore that these sources of physic al
strength should be IN condition to bear, with
out danger or Inconvenience. the extraordinary
drain. If they are not in such a condition, the
individual becomes languid and loT-spirited.
The Llain thing Is to keep the digestive appa-
ratus in good working trim for if the stomach,
the purveyor of the system, does its duty thor
oughly, the liver, the bowels. the brain. and the
nervous system, being duly nurtured, will be
likely to do theirs In view Of these facts. 1t Is
manifest that a powerful and wholesome Vege-
table tonic like H0STErTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS is especially required at this en-
feebling season. 1t is the most admirable OF
all correctives and invigOrants and for this rea-
son: II does not over stimulate the system.
The proportions of aperient, tonic ard stimu-
lating components are so judiciously graduated,
that the processes of IMMIGRATION and purihca-
ton go on simultaneously, and no undue ex-
element is created in the circulation or the
brain. All unmedicated stimuIants, however
pure, excite the pulse aud the nervous system.
Their exhilaI ating effect is temporary. and
when it passes off the physical and mental de-
preston they were employed TO remove RETURN

when h0oTETrER'S B1TTERS are taken as

Legislature was the oath Of office
required by the constitution of that
State, which is merely an oath of
allegiance 10 the State and the

required to state that they were not

gulch, representing So mining and fluming
companies owning nine tenths of Alder
gulch, is published in the Times. The 7smes
still advocates the bonds The miners object
upon the ground Of its adding an increase
of $e6, $50, principal and interest, TO the
county debt; asserting the ditch is inexpe
dicnt and Improbable, and if built vii

thought the ditch. II practicable, good
project. But the miners should know, and
the names of very many good men are sp

appropriation almost certainly insures its
defeat, and may defeat the project.
