PAYING SOUTHERN ..LoyAL-

1t is reported that the Senate Cop,mit1ee
on claims have agreed to report favorably
on the resolution authorizin:s the payment
of Southern 'loyalists" for property taken
for war purposes by the Federal army
during the war. Tie St. Louis RepubE-
can says: 'If this be true, and the re-
port becomes a law, we prophesy The
heaviest raia on the national treasury that
has yet been witnessed, even in the pres
ent age Of plumber and corruption. Such
law will throw the doors wide open,
and through them will pour legion Of
hungry beggars demanding their share Of
the peoples money, and utterly refusing
to depart unsatisiied. Agents from the
North will perambulate the South hunt no
out foyafsts' of high and low
degree, and promising to push their
claims providing the spoils may be fairly

The requirement of the fourth ordi-
nance of the convention having now been
complied with, the new constitution is
established as the constitution of Ten
nessce," from May 5, 1870. The third
section of the schedule to the new consti-
tuition provides that t'every Judge and
every officer of the Executive Department
of this State, and every Sheriff holding
over under this constitution, shall, within
twenty days after the ratification of this
constitution is proclaimed, take an oath to
support the same; and the failure of any
officer to take such oath shall vacate his
office"
Under the new constitution, an cleo
ton for judicial and other civil officers
viii be held on the first Thursday in Au-
gust next. Under the provision, all
county offices not filed at the March cleo
ton, become vacant on the first day of
September, and will be filed at the Au-
gust election.
An election will be held on the second
Tuesday in November next for Governor
and members of the General Assembly.
At the same time members of Congress
are TO be elected.
Hereafter no certificate of registration
will be necessary 10 vote, and the ratifca-
ton of the new constitution terminated
the official existence of Commissioners of
Registration. Under the new constitution
"every male person of the age of twenty
one years, being a citizen of the United
States, and a resident of the State for
twelve months, and of the county wherein
he may offer his vote for six months next
preceding the day of election, is entitled
TO vote in all elections, but law of the
Legislature requires every voter to vote in
the civil district in which he resides. The
new constitution provides that "tbcre
shall be no qualification attached
to the right of suffrage, except that
each voter shall give to the judges Of
election, where he offers to vote, salts
factory evidence that he has paid the poll
tax assessed against him for such preced-
ing period as the Legislature shall pre-
scribe, and at such time as may he pre-
scribed by law" Until the Legislature
takes some action under this clause, every
man can vote whether he may have paid
q poll tax or not.

CURIOsITIEs OF ADVERTISING
The New York STANDARD, John Rus

CURIOSITIES OF ADyERTHssNG
The New York standard, John Rus
sell Young's new paper, in an article on.
the curiosities of advertising, says:
can advertiser recently stated to us,
that Of an advertisement inserted by him
in five hundred newspapers in the Union,
one journal, with circulation less than
five thousand, proved to be of more value
than the same inserted in another with
two hundred thousand. All these shades
of importance must be considered and
allowed for; the circulation, the politics,
the cleaEless of printing, the time the
newspaper has been established, the abil-
ity with which it is edited, and its worth
for other purposes. - y Another
consideration is position. An advertiser
frequently. desires to have The widest ex-
tent possible for his orders, and so a
good paper in the East may be sacrificed
for one not so good in the West. : >
DR.. Brandreth has spent two million
and half of dollars on his medicines in
making them known; Holloway ex-
pended six hundred thousand dollars last
year for the same purpose. The largest
advertiser within the last two or three
years has been Hembold, but the most
money ever expended for this purpose in
this country in short time was for the
Government bonds and to hasten the
completion of the Pacific Railroad.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATION, Is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-
pared with pure St. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes Of the
world to this great fact. The Ife-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested In
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. If
the appetite has failed, it is quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet it becomes easy and thorough; II
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; If the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrdng; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies they
are put to fight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the eItraor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
sia, biliousnesS, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist In
it. The terrible evacuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, In which are COM
bined the elements of stomachic, an
invigorant mild laxative, nervine and
an snd-bilious specific, reign In their
stead Sold by all Druggists.
