IT WILL be remembered that the
merchants Of Memphisi instituted pro-
ceedings for the purpose of testing the
validity of the act of 1860 imposing a
tax of one per cent on the invoice
price. of all goods and merchandise
handled by the merchants of the State
in their business, regardless of the fact
whether imported goods We're en-
braced in the invoice or not. One OF
these cases has been heard-that of
TooF, PHILLIPS & Co. VS.. JOHN
LEAGUE. The Court held that the
tax imposed by the act of 1865, COM
monty known as the merchants tax,
was not in violation of the Federal
Constitution. The Court further held
that the act Of 1865 did not authorize
by its terms the imposition of the tax
on any merchandise which had once
paid the tax in the hands Of a former
holder. We learn that TooF, PHIL
LIPS & Co., have appealed the case to
the Supreme Court of the United
States. We fear that thetax viii have
to be borne, until relief is found in
Legislative action, which viii come,
in all probability, from thesnext Leg
islature.

FROM IAeKsoN, rENN.

JACKSON, Tenn, June IL, 1863.
Editors appeal: The Sheriff of Tip
ton county arrived here from COving-
ton yesterday In charge of a man by
the name of John Bradford, who was
arresteda few days ago on a writ from
Henderson county, Tennessee. He is
said to be OneOf the Notorious gang of
thieves that range from the southern
portion of Kentucky to Mississippi.
He was ON his way to Henderson
county with him, and reached this
place last night at twelve O'Clock.
where he met some of the Henderson
officials this mOTning and turned the
prisoner over to thefa.
The prospects for agood erop in this
section seems to be very good, cOnsid-
.erlng the backwardness of the spring.
In consulting some of the leading
spirits of this place, l find that there
is considerable interest manifested in
the coming gubernatOrial canvass.
Also great interest is felt in regard To
the Senatorial election of the 9th Dis
trIct. There seems to bea determine
ton on the part of the people to run
Hon. 81. R.Bate, bloomington. Myun-
derstanding is that the people of lack
son want him 70 became the Conserv-
alive candidate, / do not think that
there could be a better man found in
the District, 1t is not necessary TO
say anything about him, as he is well
known all over the Western District.

UNDER the recent decision of the
Supreme Court every man who voted
in 1864 and '65, or who was registered
by Mr.. GARLAND p. WARE, as County
Court Clerk, or by succeeding Regis
trars, is entitled to a certificate of reg
istration; also every young man who
has become of age since the close of
the war. We hope that all will avail
themselves of their rights, and sosoon
as opportunity offers, arm themselves
with the necessary certificate. We
want every vote that can be mustered
in the great contest for enfranchise-
ment and liberty now upon us. We
cannot afford to lose one. The sup
p0rtersO of Stokes are exerting and will
exert themselves to the utmost of their
powers to defeat and retain US in
bondage. All that we have, are or
may be as a people, is at stake in this
contest. We must win. By a union
of all lovers of Constitutional liberty
and acknowledgements we can Wins
As voting is impossible without
certificates, we urge again, upon all
our readers, to register so soon as OPP
%portunity shall offer.

THE Supreme Court has re~instated
the injunction in the case of FARRLNG-
TON ct al. VS.. Board of Mayor and
Aldermen of Memphis, as origi-
nally obtained by the complain
ants. 1t will be remembered that on
motion the city had obtained from
Chancellor SMITH such a modification
Of this injunction as substantially
amounted to its dissolution. The re-
straint as originally prayed for by the
compliments is now in full vigOI
against the city. While this is not q
determination of the cause ON its
merits, yet it foreshadows the final
Judgment of the Court as adverse to
the city, and really destroys its
power to get rid of its debts by dis
counting IFS debts TO its creditors.
The effect of this decision has already
been felt in financial circles in the
city, and will no doubt be so abroad as
soon as it is known that it directly
operates to prevent the payment OF
the July interest on BUR city indebted
ness.

TuE infamous proceedings "a Gov

THE infamous proceedings of Gov.
BULLOCK, of Georgia, who had sew
eral gentlemen summarily arrested
on the vile charge of completely in the
late assassination at Warrenton in
that State, has been bfoughtt to a sud
den and decided close. The civil au-
thorities have interposed and released
the gentlemen who were arrested,
upon their executing proper bonds, to
appear and answer in the civil courts
the charges suggested against them.
I" In the meantime," the Augusta
Chronicle and Sentinel says, " Judge
ANDREWS, the presiding Judge of the
Circuit, which embraces Warren
county, steps forward and lays the
strong hand of the law upon Bull
Locks pet (NoRRIs) and forbids him
to act or in any way to assume the
functions of Sheriff. Here, then, is an
end of BULLOCK's judicial career, at
least, in the Northern Circuit. He
assumed to decide that NORRIS was
Sheriff of Warren county. Judge
ANDREWS decides he is not, and we
incline to the opinion that ANDREWS
is a little better larger and a more
upright Judge than the Beast Bull

WE are glad TO be able TO announce,
as we do upon authority of Col. E. II.
PORTER, that an arrangement has been
effected with an English company OF
large capital, for the commencement
of work on the iron Mountain ana
Helena Railroad by The first of Octo-
Der next. This is the road, it will be
~reconected, of which our friend Col.
DAVID CRoss>E President, and which,
commencing at Pilot Knob, in Mis-
souri,, viii run down to the Arkansas
line, between the Big Black and st.
Francis rivers, thence along the west
side Of Crawley's Ridge to the termi-
nus at Helena. 1t will intersect the
Cairo and Fulton Railroad near Chalk
Bluff, and will be the means of OPEN
ing up a section of country that needs
Immigrants, and thousands of them,
for its full utilization. We anticipate
much Of benefit to Memphis from this
road, crossing, as it viii, our Little
Rock Railroad between DeVall's
Bluff and Madison. We are, there
fore, in common with the Arkansas
indebted to Col. PORTER for
the persistency with which he has
pushed the interests of this enterprise,
and to Col. Cross, for the steadiness
and devotion toit, which has cha1ae-
lied him ever since its inception.

The physicians here are generally
men OF ability, and some have had
the advantages of a more or less ex-
tensive experience in the theraputicaI
application of Hot Water, and in the
treatment of special disease. Speaking
from personal experience, / am Of the
opinion that a judicious application

Will in q great measure hasten a cure,

are not satisfied with less than two
and even three baths daily, at the
highest temperature that can be borne,
often contrary TO the express instruc-
ton of their physician, thereby doing
themselves vital injury, inducing viO-
lent eXeitatiOn of the hearts action,
determination to the brain, fever, con-
gestiOn, and cessation of the action of

own knowledge, recklessly sacrificed
themselves in this manner; three hay-

a large attendance this summer. The
Hot Springs property having been in
litigation for years, matters are. as
is usual in such cases, in a very tram
meled condition. No capital of con-
sequence can be lucratiVeIy employed.
and though possessing great Natural
facilities and means of Improvement,
little has been done. 1t is much to be
hoped that this Statu gro condition

that this long contested suit is ap-

A" A
Col. Ethel H. PORTER, the indefa-
tigable Presidento of the above railroad,
concluded al arrangement at Cairo q
few days since with ALLAN MAR
QUANB Il Co., whereby that firm OBJ
ligate themselves to commence its
construction this fall, and to prosecute
the work with all the dilligence and
dispatch that experience, money and
labor can command. The terms of
this arrangement are deemed satisfae-
tory by both parties, and are such as
will insurethe observance of the obli-
cations of ALLAN; MARQUAND & Co.
The Company is TO furnish 500, 900
acres Of land for 81, zoo, 900 full paid
stock and one half the amount of
swamp land warrants that it may re-
ceive from the State of Arkansas for
the construction of the road bed as a
levee, such warrants to be distributed
among the land subscribers in proper
ton to the land subscribed by each.
If more than the above number of
acres of land are received it is to be
put in at the same rate. The re-
manning swamp land warrants are to
go to the stockholders jointly. ALLAN,
MARQUAND & Co. are to furnish two
millions of dollars in money for two
millions of full paid stock of the Com
pany, making the capital stock equal
to three millions of dollars cash;
which amount, if not found sufficient
for the completion of the road and its
equipment, will be increased by
the issuance of first mortgage
bonds TO any sum necessary. The
road viii run from Morley, in Mis-
souri-where it will connect with the
Iron Mountain road-tO Helena, pass
ing through Hopefield, and will form
a complete levee for the alluviaI bot
tom on the west side of the Missis-
sippi throughout the whole distance.
The survey locates it close up to all
the bends, and within half a mile of.
other points on the river so that not a
rood of land that can be rescued from
| overflow but will be taken in to form
part of q basin, bounded by the road
bed ON the east and Crawley's Ridge
on the west, that will equal the rich
est alluvial lands of the world. The
Company have determined that these
lands shall at once be put upon the
market, for sale to actual settlers, to
| whom they are prepared to grant
twenty years time at the low rate of
four per cent, per mum inter
est. By this plan it is believed
that not only the laborers employed in
the construction of this promising
work will be induced to settle along
its borders, but that a large body of
Germans, from the country about st.
Louis, VIII be prevailed upon to give
their labor, their skill, energy and
steadiness to enhance the line as a
gIid pro quo for a home and its conf
forts. We congratulate Col. PORTER
and his Board of Directors upon this
result of their long and arduous labors.
How much twill inure to the benefit,
the progress and the welfare of Mem
phis we leave for another article. Suf
fee it for to-day, that the Memphis
and st. Louis Railroad is assured to
us, and to be built upon a scale and i'm
a way that will make it indeMDdent
and a paying enterprise from the
start.

HoAR, the Acknowledgement, is
prostituting himself to the demands
of the Radical party and weak,
maud!in Federal administration. He
has Just committed himself to the
monstrous and unheard Of opinion
that the judgment of the Military
Commission in Texas, sentencing a
citizen to be hung, shall be carried
out, when the record shows that a
regularly organized civil court, hav-
ing jurisdiction of the %Oflense, had
taken cognizance of the case. Again,
in direct violation of the rights of the
States, he says:
1 can have no doubt that the connection
of this country with a foreign nation by
means of a Geographic cable is a means of
national communication so vital and i'm
portant. both in peace and in war, to the
national interests, and under some cir
cumstances, possibly, even to the ma
tional existence, that it is in its own ua-
ture a subject for national control which
1t would be impossible for the Govern
ment or people of the United States to
allow TO exist under the control of single
SIdbe, OF 10 uepehO upon lDS arrange
ments made by one OF the States with a
foreign power, its citizens or subjects,
acting either in a private or corporate ca
pacity.
From this we can readily gather
that he viii not be slow to decide the
case he has now under consideration
against Georgia, and remand her to
the tender mercies of the Radical ne
gro-governed party, in order that
GRANT may there WELD such powers
as he now enjoys in Texas, Mississippi
and Virginia, and set up his Courts
Martial for the summary disposal of
citizens opposed to the pol
icies and usurpations that Congress
has endeavored to legitimate under
the title of reconstruction laws. And
ifin Georgia, why not in Tennessee

In another column we publish q
letter from citizens of Fayette, sug-
costing the name Of Judge CALVIN
JONES as a gentleman qualified by
experience, by his known cOnserva-
tism, his honesty, high integrity and
general popularity, to serve in the
next Legislature as Senator from the
District Of which that county forms a
part. The sentiments Of this commu-
nication harmOnise with those that
have found expression in almost every
section Of the State, and in the col
umns Of the leading presses. Party is
to be carefully ignored in the selection
of candidates for the Legislature, and
only those qualifications are to be exac-
ted which the people of Fayette give
Judge JONES the credit of possessing.
The Judge, himself indorses the posi-
ton of his admirers, as a private note
informs Us he will not consent to enter
into a scramble for the Office, believ-
ing that the public good demands har-
mony and concert of action on the
part of all good citizens, by whatever.

this spirit, there can be no doubt of
the triumph of the party for enfran-
chisement, the only party that a be
recognized in opposition to that which
u~nblushingly proclaims the continued
Acknowledgement of the intelligence of
Tennessee as its platform. Candi-
dates for the Legislature, as we sug-
gested in an article on Thursday,
should be men of intelligence, of hon
esty, of experience, and oUtspOken
friends Of the disfranchised masses.
The duties to devolve upon the next
Legislature will be delicate as well as
important. Very many laws now en-
forced to the injury and detriment
of the State will have to be
amended o. expunged; our financial
condition viii have to be carefully
examined, and, if possible, amended,
and preparation made for a Conven-
ton that shall revise the Constitution
in accordance with the spirit OF our
people and their great future. For
these and many other reasons we need
intelligence and freedom from all po-
litical restraint on the part of candi-
dates. They should be untrammeled

by any other pledge, save that of
voting and working for the enfran-
ofthe disfranchised through

ness and honesty, after a pledged sup
port of the Acknowledgement platform.

manded where the people have but
one purpose, n policy and n end
