KING OF THE WEST
WASHING MACHINE
washing Day NO Longer Dreaded by
those who use the King OF the West.

THE REASON WHY EVERY FAMILY
i should possess these machines: Families
generally wash ffty-two times every year. or
in other words. spend one-sixth Of their time
for labor in doing washing the ordinary way.
By using this machine they can do the same
work in one. fifth of the time usually required.
Bloody fingers, sore backs. strained wrists and
iphalir steam. consequent upon the old way OF
washing. are all avoided by using these ma
chimes. II does not require able bodied persons
to operate them. A boy or girl. twelve or four
teen years of age. can do as much work washing
with these machines. in few hours: as one able
bodied woman can in a whole dsy By tho usual
process. The old process of boiling clothes 10
done away with. and washing can be done with
two-thirds less soap than the old way Of using
washboard and tub. and therefore you can save
fuel enough in short time to pay for the ma
KING OF THE WEST" Washing Ma
chine defies all cempetition. and challenges
every and all machines to waeh given number
of pieces in the same time and as completely
as the" King will wash them: tits he only
machine that will erase all dirty sfreoks from
ioristbands and collars of shirts. and all other
clothes. that soop and toater will take out.
$4,000 OF THESE MACHINES SOLD IN
THE NORTHWEST IN ONE YEAR.
Come and see il wash or we will come at any
time or place in the city if you desire. and wash
anything from cambria hands erchief TO
double blanket. and do IL well, quick and COM
plete and you only need see the king"
wash to be convinced. Come and examine the
machine, and you toiH order AT ONCE the King
of all icoshing machines, and you ioiH haze no
other.

THE rogers MEMBERS.

The Memphis Post has the fol-
lowing paragraph in its issue of
Aug. %:
1.-THE UNION AND AMERICAN, which has
already made the demand that the next
Legislature provide for the payment Of
the notes Of the State Bank of Tennessee,
makes another forward movement and now
demands that the Legislature ignore the
apportionment of the constitutional con-
vention at the close Of the war, in allow
ing TO the counties Of johnson, Carter,
Campbell, Anderson, Union, Sewer, Ma.
con and Hancock, each one member, and
the district composed Of the counties Of
Fentress, Morgan, Scott and Cumberland
one additional member in the House Of
Representatives. These are East Tennes-
zee counties and strongly Republican, and
therefore not in harmony with the UNION
AND AMERICANS ideas OF the new order
Of things in Tennessee.
The UNION AND AMERICAN called
attention to this fragrant outrage
two years ago and demanded that it
should be corrected. 1t is no new
idea with this paper to demand that
the constitution shall DO obeyed.
The COZ stitution plainly provides
that the House Of Representatives
shall be composed Of seventy-five
members, and no more, and that
provision has not been repealed or
modified. The constitution further
provides that "the number of
Representatives shall, at the
several periods of making the
enumeration, be appointed among
the several counties or dis
tricts, according to the num-
Der of qualified voters in each"
Now let us see how this "apportion-
ment of the constitutional conven~
lion held at the close of the war"
ITALICS with the requirement of the
constitution. Under this "appor-
tionment," the counties of johnson,
Carter, Campbell, Anderson, Union,
Sewer, Hancock, and Macon send to
the Legislature ten Representatives,
although under the apportionment
1852, they are entitled to only two
Representatives. In the late cleo
tion these eight counties cast only
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1869-09-01

s,O72 votes, yet with their eight
bogus members, they have
an equal voice in the House of
Representatives with the counties
of Davidson, Wilson, Williamson,
Maury, Rutherford, Fayette, and
Shelby, which cast LABS votes.
The eight counties first named paid
into the State treasury for the year
ending Sept. 30, 1867, S26,771.40,
while the seven last named paid in
s672,237.62. Thus eight small
counties, with less than one
fifth the voting population Of
the seven populous and wealthy
counties named, have an equal
voice in the House of Repre-
sentatives with those large and
wealthy counties. This palpablt
violation of the constitution hal
been upheld by two Radical Legis
latures. We insist that the Legisla
ture which meets in October shall
not admit these bogus members, o
whom there are nine, there bein!
one from the district composed o
the counties Of Fentress, Morgan
Scott, and Cumberland.

more than four years, and it is no
time now to be talking of organizing
a new party to divide a victorious
people and thus render them an
easy prey to their old tasksmasters,
The Radical organ of WestTennes-
see does not fear that the Republic
cans will lose strength by this move
ment; on thecontrary, it jubilant
in the belief that its party will
eventually be strengthened by with
drawing from the support OF Dom
ocratic men and measures con-
siderable body of Conservatives
who have not yet identified them
selves with either Of the two nation
al parties. This new party is On
Outraged by the Radicals as a flank
movement to weaken the Democ-
| racy, and thus enable the Republi-
can party 10 regain control OF the
State. This policy is clearly fore
Swallowed by the Memphis Post,
which speaks of the movement as
Greatly a sloughing process from
Democracy and as ENGRAVING

this disclosure, tho very few
people ia Tennessee who have been
disposed to look with favor on this

cause they entertain prejudicet

bibed years ago in times of higl
political excitement, will see thu

Horrible Death.

A Shoveller smothered in Wheat. d
Last Saturday night about II o'clock
the canal boat George j. Whitney, of
Rochester, was taking on board cargo
of wheat at the Plympton elevator
The three different compartments had
all been filled when the shovellers dis
covered that John Marshall, one of the
gang, was missing. He had been at
work all afternoon and evening with
out his supper, and it was thought he
had gone to his home, 1856 Kentucky
street. A man went to see, and re-
turned reporting that he had not been
there. He had been seen during the
filling of the middle hatch, and the tor
rible suspicion arose that he had been
buried in the forward hatch, which was
filled last. So sure did this conviction
become that the men insisted upon hay-
ing the wheat removed from the fore-
hatch. The elevator men finally insert
ed the elevator leg and took out two
thousand bushels, when the men found
the missing man dead at the bottom of
the hole. The poor fellow had been
working all day and all night, and is
supposed to have become so weary that
when the boat moved forward to allow
the leg to pass from the middle to the
forward hatch he lay down in the hole
and fell asleep, awakening only to find
himself covered with wheat to such an.
extent that lie could not extricate him.
selfor call loud enough to be heard. -
