DIR. G. w. R0BACK,
Dear Sir:-Last
fall my wife had the
Liver Complaint SO
bad she was able to
sit up but a few min
utes at a time. 1
had a physician doc
toring her for some
time, but the medi-
cine ne gave her
seemed to do her but
little or no good. 1
was advised to get
her a bottle Of your
Bitters, and let her
try them, and see if
they would help her.
So l thought if one
bottle would be good
two would be better,
and l got her two
bottles, and when
she had taken the
la st bottle she
could do most OF her
house work. l got
her one more which
entirely cured her,
and she looks the
best I have seen her
for four years. We
recommended them
to several of our
neighbors who have
used them with great
success.

STATE NEWS.

James Duncan, an aged and respected
citizen of Hardeman county, died near
Bolivar on the 18th inst.
Mr.. Christopher, of Miller's Cove, Blount
county, was bitten two weeks ago by a
rattlesnake, remaining speeches. twenty
four hours, but ultimately recovered.
The Knoxville Press and Herald says
the little daughter Of V. n. Sturm, who
was severely burned on Thursday evening,
by burning oil, is still suffering badly from
her burns Her attending physician is not
able to determine as to what the result
will be. Mr.. Llewellyn, who was burned
on the hand, at the same time, is still sui
fering greatly,
The Times, of Chattanooga, says that on
Friday morning at about half past nine
o'clock the root, which is $50 feet in
length, covering the ventilation of Craw-
ford, Carroll 4 Co. Sc livery stable, gave
way, and four men were precipitated down
80 feet all sustaining very severe injuries
On Sunday, Sept. IL, the barn of S. A.
Humphreys, who resides near Unitia,
Blount county, was struck by lightning.
The barn, together with all its contents,

on both sides were informed by the Dis
trict Judge that the Chief Justice would
come in few days, and if trial had
been desired on either side, it could have
been then had in that very month of May.
In October, 1857 al adjourned term
having been appointed 10 be held at
Richmond, on the 18th of November, the
Chief Justice caused the parties to be no.
titled that be would attend at that time,
in order that the trial might take place, IL
parties were willing. he did accordingly
attend, but the parties were not ready.
This was in November, 1867. Since
then the Chief Justice has been obliged to
attend the Supreme Court at Washington.
One thing is certain, there has been no
term at Richmond since the capitulation
of Lee. which the Chief Justice could
have attended, at which he has not at
tended; and another thing is clear, that
the trial of Jefferson Davis might at any
time have taken place, that is, since his
capture in May, 1865, either by military
commission, when military commissions
were being held for the trial of offenders
under the authority of the President, or
by court held by the District Judge.
The Chief Justice, therefore, is in no
sense, or in the least degree, responsible
fer the delay which has taken place.
Until last May he could not try him, aud
since then he has always been ready.

MORE NEGRO TROUBLES IN
GEORGIA.

The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
of the 2lst inst. gives the following par
ticulars:
The negroes and United States soldiers
are again engaged in creating trouble in
Hancock county. 1t appears that SOME
time since negro was shot by parties in
disguise. The negroes accused Robert
Dudley aud l. F. Johnson of having done
the shooting, and determined to murder
them. On last Saturday night they lay in
ambush for Mr. Dudley, by the road side
and a Mr.. League passing they took him
for Dudley and fired upon him, killing his
horse. They then went to Dudley's
house, and not finding him at
home, they pulled up an acre of
cotton and burned his Clubhouse. From
this place they went to Mr.. John
sons, where they killed 8 horse and mule
and plundered lie house, but did not find
its owner On the next day johnson
measured the tracks about the premises,
with a view to detecting the maraude:s,
and the negroes at once declared that he
and the Kuklux meant TO shoot every Ne
gro whose foot and the tracks cores
ponded, and reported their cOpjectures to
the blue-coat in command of the garrison.
The officer had Mr.. johnson arrested and
confined in Sparta. On last Monday
night large band of negroes, armed
with guns and sticks, entered the village
and guarded the place where Mr.. johnson
was, in order, they said, to keep him
from being released by the Kuklux. For
tunately the whites showed great dea
of foIbearance towards the insolent in
cendiaries, and no collision occurred.

CHIEF JUSTICE CHASE.

Universal Suffrage and Amnesty
why Jeff. Davis Trial has been
0eIaYed.
The following is an extract from
letter of Chief Justice Chase to Hon. T.
w. Conway, which has just been made
public:
have never advocated universal suf-
frace and immediate amnesty to all l
have said that universal suffrage would
reconcile comprehensive lenity with tran
ouillitv AMI prosperity. / would have no
more Acknowledgement after the complete
establishment of universal suffrage than is
absolutely necessary to secure the new
order of things and the new State consti-
buttons against overthrow. Those lately
in rebellion have no more right to destroy
the country by ballots thsn by bullets.
As to the trial of Jefferson Davis, the
amount and kind of misrepresentation is
astonishing. The facts are simple. |
neither ask nor shun the responsibility of
trying anybody. (My purpose is to do
my duty as a Judge, honestly and faith
fully, turning neither to the right nor the
left.) While military authority was su
preme in the South, as an incident of the
war, and anybody could be tried by mill
tary commission, no Justice of the Su-
preme Court could properly hold court
there. This state of things lasted from
before the surrender of Lee, in April,
1866, till the final suppression of
The rebellion was proclaimed, in
4 500. Meantime in July, 1866, an
act of Congress, by changing the Cir
cults, had deprived the Justice of the
Supreme Court Of jurisdiction in the
Southern S'ates, AMI jurisdiction was not
restored until March, 1861, when Con-
grrss passed the necessary act. OF course
from July, 1866, to March, 1867, neither
the Chief Justice, nor any other justice,
could try anybody in Virginia. Any
editor of any newspaper would have as
much right At the time the act of
March, 1867, was passed, the Supreme
Court was sitting in Washington, and the
Chief Justice was bound to be there, but
he wro'e t. the District Judge at Rich
mon1, Virginia, that he would come
down and Join him in holding the cour
rs soon as the Supreme Court ad-
iourned in May. Jefferson Davis, how
ever, was brought before the District
Judge and bailed in May, before the Su-
preme Court adjourned. This seems to
have been done by a sort of consent, and
was done without any conference with
the Chief Justice, and was matter Of
which he had no control The counsel

The Grant Subscription TO the Raw
Inns Fund-Fisk's Reply 10 the Au-
tnOrized Denial that Gould Paid
Grants Subscription of One Thou
sand Dollars. ...
Correspondence Of the Cincinnati Commercial.
New YORK, Sept. 20.-The New York
Times having to-day denied, by authority
of Gen. Grant, that Messrs. Gould &
Fisk paid for him thousand dollar sub
scIiption to the Rawlins' fund, and also
asserting that he had given twenty-five
hundred dollars to that object, Mr.. Fisk
thus replies in an interview had to-day:
= ''What have to say to that, replied Col.
Fisk, sis that it is no denial of our state
ment at all. The fact that Gen. Grant
paid a twenty-five hundred dollar sub
scriptiOn-if it be fact-has nothing TO
do with his not paying a one thousand
dollar subscription. We don't know any
thing about that twenty-five hundred dol
lar matter, but we do know all about the
one thousand dollar affair. Mr.. Grants
relations with Gen. Rawlins have nothing
to do with the question either, and 1 am
not going to allow him to hide from pub
lie disgust in this matter by invoking the
memory of that distinguished and beloved
man. What l want Mr.. Grant to answer
is this: Did he or did he not subscribe one
thousand dollars to the Rawlins fund, got
up by Gen. Butterfeld in this city 2
And then want to ask him to answer
this question Did he pay that one
thousand dollars subscription, or was it
not paid by US, with Mr. Gould's check !
That is the point involved. That's the
point at issue. Whether Rawlins died
indebted to Grant, and if so, whether
Grant destroyed the evidence of that in
debtedness, and now authorizes the publ
cation of that performance to wound the
feelings of his friends widow and half
orphan children, are matters with which
We have had nothing to do. Thank God,
we have never raised any such issue. We
leave Grant to abide the consequences of
introducing such new ma ter, as the law
yers say, into the case. Whist we say is
that Grant subscribed one thousand dol
lars to the Rawlin's fund got up
here in New York by Gen.
Butterfeld, and that we paid that sub
scription for him, with Gould's check, as
stated In the San yesterday. Now let
Grant or his authorized agent deny that if
he will, and then we will show our proofs.
We are not going to be led astray from
that issue by any special pleading, or by the
introduction of irrelevant matter. We
plant ourselves on that one point, as to
this business. We have enough other
sharp sticks for Grant whenever We
choose to probe him with them. But one
thing at time is our motto. That's the
way our prosperity comes. The Ameri-
can eagle is our bird, and Grant can't get
US into choosing any of his barn-yard ban
tams while that monarch of the air scars
in triumph over the Western continent. /"
