The Crops In Tennessee and Alabama
What Is Thought Of Memphis.

From a gentleman who has recently
travelled considerably through the South
arm states. and through Middle and East
Tennessee. we gather some interesting
facts. The corn and grain crops in Mid
lie and East Tennessee are very fine,
thougb the wheat was somewhat injured
Nv being permitted TO remain too long in
the fields. The corr crops were never
better. It is estimated thai IN many N
stances the Weld VIII be forty or n1ry
bushels per acre. The cotton crop IN
Middle Tennessee is very INFERIOR, oMihs
~ haavv rains. The stalk is very large
mt The hollis are very scarce. They are
raisinp a large quantity OF broomcorn IN
MiddieT Tennessee, and 1t is found TO Dc
verv remuneratiVe crop. The cotton CROP
in Northeastern Alabama az very goooi
INIT i'm the rich canebraks lands il is very
noor owing TO too much rain and the DOLL
5ToTm- Take it all together, the cotton
crop is very poor; bn owing 70 bne
smouutof ground planted the aggregats
Weld will be very large.
Chattanooga, Selma and MeFidlan ar

and a strong desire for direct and clos

reputation on this subject. People abToal

What stings in all this is, that 1t Is so
true. Truths, uttered as mildly as the
music of cooling doves, is more potent
than the seysrest invsctive, uttered with
out sufficiently apparent foundstion ana
reason. Don Piatt knows whereof ne
afBrms. and he Is not q man to sink his
personal reputation by c~onsenting I any
concealment for party's sake, when II can
oBlv b truthfully said of the Republican
leaders that the foul corruption they
e~ountenanee and Practice has : poisoned
/ humanity" itself. He sees in every de-
nartment of the Government vile adders
| crawling and Kissing and fattening with
salaries of a few hundreds a year, and
/ coming out rich and pampered, where
/ honest men come poor and thread
hare. And when he sees some OF these
vile creatures putting on sanity airs, and
winning the credit of liberahty to
churches, missions and charities with the
moneys stolen from the people, his loath-
ing becomes too great for a manly heart
70 conceal. So, we are glad to see, it is
with many other Republican journals
and men. II like manner, the Toledo
Blade thus calls attention to the sus-
picious circumstances, which are so gem
orally b~lackening the character of Radical
officials:
It is a Just cause for grave suspicion
when a man in humble circumstances
shortly after entering upon the duties OF
a pubfic Office, to which balely q living
SALARY e attached, becomes able to build
6ne houses, furnish them in style, sport
splendid equipages, and q rank IN
financial circles with men OF heavy bank
accounts. Depravity in Official stations
snraads CORRUPTION with the force Of q
eoutagion smong the people. The fact
that money is somehow obtained by men
in Office is a temptation for b corrupt
and venal to press themselves into poll
tics with the utmost p~ertinscity. It Is
doubtless true that opportunities some
times occur for men in office to make
money honestly-by means of judicious

THE fearful prevalence in this eIimats of
Throat and Lung diseases, in some form or
other. has been remarked again and gain.
Indeed. it Is astonishing and alarming to
contemplate the ravages Of pulmonary COM
plants In our very midst, and 1t Is asserted
nv many careful observers, that this class of
diseases is the cause Of nearly fifty per cent
of the whole number of deaths.
Whs4her in the lecture roem, the concert
hall. the chuieh, or any h popular assem-
bly,, the same or1inotls and terrible sound OF
coughing. clearing the throat or hoarseness
Of voice attracts attention.
The almost im~perceptible graduation of a
cold to a seated consumption is a cause of
neglect of the proper remedial measures As
we look back upon the past year, how many
OF Us can recall cases where persons contract
ed a slight cold, the had catarrh or throat
disease. then bronchitis, and finally con-
sumption and were borne to their Last resting
place. bow many who, a few short months
e we're as full of life and hope as we now
are who, by the neglect Of a slight cold, are
now failing day by day, n will soon fade
from our sight. The degrees or stages OF pull
mouary diseases are so insidIous that the pa
tient fails to realize his danger till he Is too
near the fatal whirIpooi to escape. We deem
All men mortal but ourselves, and annot
bring our mind to believe that our families
our friends and ourselves are going TO die
early: IT is somebody else who is negligent,
somebody else who is going to i'll a conSuBlp-
tines orape. How ttrrIble the awakening to
the reality. Far wiser would it be to learn
| the truth in season to avert the fate while yet
the malady was In a durable stage.
Let none deceive themselves, for 1t is q
truth that a neglected cold, catarrh OF the
head. throat disease or bronchitis, ends In
I consumption and death. 1t may be sooner
or later. the progress Of the disease may be
rapid or slow, but the result is inevitable.
But. how to cure these diseases of the THROAT
and lungs. how to cure catarrh, asthma anc
bronchitis, and other. diseases that lead tC
consumption, is a most perplexing inquiry
Let the experience of others and common
sense settle that matter. There was a tim,
when AL sorts OF drugs and poisonous com
pounds were forced into the stomach with tn,
hone Of curing such complaints; but the ut
ter and i~nvarisble failure OF this practice
year after year, has led to the false dogmi
that these diseases were incurable. and final

On the 14th of October next, the South
ern Commercial Convention viii assem-
bic at Cincinnati, a city most industrious
in its efforts to secure the trade Of the in
terror and Atlantic Southern States; and,
also, the control of the Southern Pacific
railroad, which it hopes viii find within
her limits its eastern terminus. 1t is
right that Cincinnatians should contend
for all that can be attained by their beau
tfful city. She is a Queen in, but not
OF, the West. The supremacy by
which years ago she acquired the proud
title of "Queen of the West" has passed
from her. Her honors ars now shared by
St. Louis and Chicago. These have
wrested from her and worthily wear q
part Of her honors; the latter, indeed,
shooting far ahead in population and
wealth. The rapid growth of Memphis
since 1860, in the face Of war and worse
than war (the infamous legislation of q
Radical Congress and Radical Legislsiure !,
bids US hope that we, ourselves, are no
mean rivals, and are likely to be In the fu-
ture more markedly so for the trade which
Cincinnati looks tor in the Eastern and
Middle parts Of our own State, in Georgia
and Alabama. We are well aware that
our future as a commercial point de-
ponds greatly upon the development OF
the wealth Of Arkansas and Northern
Texas. That il is by the speedy settle
ment of these States and their reduction

hands Of a hardy population, that Mem
phis is tO take her place among the proud
cities OF the Republic. We eoncede this
and urge it upon the attention Of
our merchants as something never 10
be forgotten. But we must not, for that
reason, lose Our hold on the broad and
nir domain east Of Us, tapped as it is by
u main trunk railroad and lis feed
ers. What Cincinnati aims at We can
obtain through the Memphis and
Charleston railroad by az effort such as
has been made by our merchants during
this week il the direction Of reduced
freightss reduced insurance, and price
Lists as low as those Of any competing
city. There is no eSson why Memphis
should net dominate in trade throughout
the country ~trayersed by the Memphis
and Charleston railroad. Nashville, with
little more than half our number OF peo-
pie, shares in It largely; and Louisville,
stretching her hands ever and through
Nashville, also grasps it. The whole
should be ours. Il Is our capital ana
our citizens who are building up

~struction Of that highway, which, g
where it may, must first come 70 Mem

ence-none the less, on that account, o

and that they viii be such as will credits

The following is from 8 most worthy gen
tIemau, a workingman of our city, who

the auspices Of the Republican party, put

mittee:
Dear Sri was raised in Ohio, but
have lived in the South twenty-five years,
ar in this city twenty years OF this time
and have supported my family as an hon
est mechanic, by the sweat OF my brow.
Like yourself, 1 was an old-line Union
Wing: 1 opposed secession, because l be-
lieyed il would ruin the South. After the
war l Joined the Republican party, and
voted for General Grant, through the IN
huence of a few old friends-au of whom
have managed since to get offices, and NJ
their pockets at the eTpenSe Of the people.
Lam now satisfied that the State of Ala
bama will be bsnkrupted and industry
paralyzed If the Radical party succeed IN
this election, and I shall cast my vote for
Lindsay and reform.
Very respectfully,
c. S. ROBERTS.
Gentlemen, who come here on return
from their summer trips north, with one
voice proclaim that the XVIII Amend
ment is killing of the Radical party st
q rapid rate. Their observations
indicate that great changes are going
on in all directions, and recruits
docking into the Democratic column
daily. In Illinois alone, a change Of
twenty thousand votes is confidently
counted on. In Alabama there are thou
sands, like Roberts, Union men and
northerners lately come in, who voted
for Grant, hoping and believing he would
prove a patriotic and national President,
and carry out the programme for future
prosperity indicated when he said "let US
have peace" But they have been dis
appointed. They have seen him succumh
TO all the usurpatiOns Of Congress, and
look calmly on, while carpet-bag and
scalswsg thieves, pretending to be his
creatures, have plundered the land in al
directions. He is a failure. His govern
ment7 is q failure. 1t is on the plan o.

Of madmen up the saloon steps, and hurry
abaft. They had discovered their error too
late, and were fairly on their way for Os-
tend. Jumping into one Of the seats, and
not knowing or caring what ! did, I-waved
my handkerchief to attract their attention,
aid shouted.
Good night, Mr.. Boggles! Tarta, Tadge-
by! Much obliged for the trouble you
have taken! A pleasant journey to you
both"
Neither made any reply, but old Bog
giles shook his fist fercely at me, and for
the moment / almost fancied that he in
tended to jump them to water. There was
no time for further parley, as the vessel
steamed rapidly away.
We were married the next morning at the
little Protestant Church in Calais, and
started at once for Brussels, where we took
leave of Jack. After a fortnights absence,
Glen wrote home, asking forgiveness, and
the old boy, finding thatit was useless to
hold out any longer, granted it,
But must tell you how we were tracked
On the afternoon of the picnic, the dear
thOughtless girl actually left letter had
written to her, arranging the whole affair,
on the dressing table in her room. This was
found by her maid, who, to curry favor,
handed it to Boggles on his return home.
This unfortunate c0ntrctcmps wOuld-unless
we had been favored by fortune, or assisted
by Jack-have caused decidedly unpleas-
ant termination to our elOpement.
