Those citizens Of Davidson county who
are desirous of being represented in the
State Convention, to be held in this city
on Monday next, the l1fh, 10 consider
and determine as to the ACCESSIBILITY of
nominating candidates for the Supreme
Bench, are requested to meet at the
Courthouse, in this city, on Saturday
morning, the 9th, at IL o'clock.
AT a meeting in jackson, West Ten
nessee, of large number of the members
of the bar, representing every county in
that division of the State, composed of
men Of the highest legal ability, Demo
Gratis and Conservatives, it was resolved
with entire unanimity to hold State
judicial Convention in this city on Mon
day next. We have from time to time
published the proceedings of various
county meetings Throughout the State ap-
pointing delegates to this Convention.
VIII the citizens of this county appoint
delegates to meet the delegates
from other portions of the
State, who come here to consider and de-
termine as to the ACCESSIBILITY of making
nominations for the Supreme Bench 7
The opposition to this proceeding from
certain sources is to us most strange and
unaccountable. There will be in that
State Convention some of the most dis
tinguised citizens of Tennessee, old line
Wings and old line Democrats, now be-
longing to the Democratic and Conserva-
tive party. What they may determine to
do we cannot say. AS we have said on
q previous occasion, they may decide to
make nominations for the whole State
or that the delegates from the respective
divisions shall act as to each division may
seem proper; or the Convention may de-
term;ne not to make any nominations.
If the people are fully represented as
| they should be, and the delegates come,
as we presume they will, with the sole
| view of promoting the public good, we
shall expect beneficial results.
/ That the subject matter of the Conven,
ton is one of the greatest Importance
none can deny. Wehave recently adopted
a new Constitution which enfranchises the
| large number heretofore disfranchised by
I Radical intolerance and prescription. Il
I is well known that the Radical party II
this State hold this Constitution to be null
and void, and even some Conservative
lawyers of ability held that The
Legislature had no power to
call the Convention watch adopted the
Constitution. II. is of unspeakable inn
portance that the integrity of that Consti-
tuition should be maintained by the Su-
preme Bench to be elected in August.
We therefore urge that Davidson should
send delegation of her best citizens to
confer with the distinguished persons who
will be here from other portions of the
State, and determine what action is best
to be taken in the premises by the Demo-
Gratis and Conservatives.

The Memphis Sun insists that West
Tennessee shall have the next Governor,
and mentions favorably in that connection
Col J. B. Heiskel, of Memphis, and Col.
Thos. ]. Freeman, of Haywood. The
following extracts are from a recent edi-
torial of the Sun upon the subject: -..
The Sun has so frequently witnessed
the persistent ignoring of the claims of
all West Tennesseeans to any position IN
der the State government, that while it
has no favorite to urge upon the party, it
will insist upon equal and exact justice
for all West Tennesseeans.
How was franchise obtained for over
fifty thousand Tennesseeans DISTINGUISHED
by Radical Registers BY the decision
OF the Supreme Court. Who argued
that question before the Supreme Court
J. B. Heiskell, of Memphis. Who as
sisted in this labor Freeman, of Hay
wood. Is it pretended that Gen. Brown
has done more substantial service in the
overthrow of Radicalism in this State
than Heiskill, of Memphis, has done in
the manner indiCated2 If so, we demand
to know when2 where and how?

THE Athens Post delivers center shot.
1t says: "Those young men of the
Knoxville Chronicle are funny fellows.
For five or six weeks they turned them
selves loose in opposition to partisan
contest for judicial position. And now,
when the Conservatives, in an unparal-
leled burst of magnanimiry, take up one
Of their prominent men and endorse and
recommend him for Attorney General,
instead of being grateful, they just get
mad and repudiate the gracious conces-
sion in terms of lively Indignation and
scorn; swear Thornburgh shall receive
none but Radical votes, and if he does,
they'll promptly chalk his hat and send
him glimmering the way Wards ducks
went. 1t is a most remarkable case of
inconsistency and journalistic forgetful
ness, and We can only account for it, and
for the extraordinary action and scenes at
tie Convention on the 4th inst. upon the
presumption that there is something the
matter with the water up that way"

THE New York Sun (Radical) reiter-
ates the conviction that the Senate, in re-
solving to perpetuate the income tax, is
but constructing the coffin of the Radical
party. The New York Post (RadicaD
is responsible for the following neat ap-
plication of an old story in the same con-
nection: ''There was an old lady, who
lived next door TO the maynard at Ports
mouth, in New Hampshire, and who had
the misfortune to be hard of hearing.
Last Fourth of July she sat in her parlor,
while the boys in the navy-yard fired
salute of thirty-six heavy guns. AS the
last sixty-eight-pounder went off, the old
lady started up in her chair, and called
out, Come in. Are not the Republican
leaders in Congress something like this
old ladyl They sit there in Washington,
in their big parlor, while the people are
firing big guns for revenue reform, and
they do not hear a sound. About cleo
ton time they will suddenly start up and
cry, Come in;'' but the people are likely
to answer, like an Irish echo, Go out

MOB law is rampant in a portion of
Illinois South of Peoria. On Sunday,
the Sd inst, mob execution took place,
the victim of which was person named
Craig, who had killed one Brown in q
drunken hrawl at Otto, in Fulton county.
Two or three murders had been perpe-
trated previously in the same locality I'M
der the rule of 'Judge Lynch" and Gov
Palmer advertised large reward for the
Identification of persons engaged in these
outrages, but the occurrence of Sunday
shows that this proceeding has had no
effect. Congress will have to take hold
of Illinois and reconstruct the State, since
the Radical Governor is powerless to
protect the lives of citizens.

by five votes. But during the week

by five votes. But during the Neek
that had intervened between the
vote which so decisively rejected,
and that which reimposed the tax, pow
erful railroad lobby had been at work.
Alarmed by Mr.. Sherman's threatto con-
tInue the tax on gross receipts if the in
come tax were abandoned, all the iniIu-
.ence which the lobby could command was
brought to bear upon Senators to induce
them to re-enact the income tax. This,
as we have seen, was accomplished in the
absence of quite a number of Senators
who were known to be opposed to it.
Should the House of Representatives con-
cur in this action of the Senate, as it
probably will, the country will be in
debted to the leaders of the Radical party
for the continuance of the income tax by
a disgraceful trick.

EDITORS are presumed to know every
thing, but it is not always the case, as a
recent noted instance demonstrates. In
the course of some editorial remarks on
the burial of the distinguished novelist
of England, the New York Tribune says:
"Only few near friends and relatives
stood besides the grave where the body
of Charles Dickens was laid to rest, in
the company of Shakespeare, Handel,
Garrick, Goldsmith, johnson and Thack-
cray.
The Baltimore Sun says the writer of
The above surely ought 10 have known
that Shakespeare's ashes repose in STRAIT
ford Church, and that Thackeray was
buried in Kensal Green Cemetery.

II appears that a ''war of races has
broken out in Michigan. A serious af-
fray occurred at Wesson, fifty miles south
of Jackson, on the 9TH inst, between
blacks and whites, caused by the abuse
of white by negro. The negroes fired
on the whites, Wounding two. The fire
was returned and three negroes were
killed. If this had occurredin Southern
State it would have been held as justify
ing Congressional Intervention and recon-
struction, but as it occurred in the Radi-
cal State of Michigan, it will not cause a
ripple at Washington. .0F El-E

HECoNsTRUCTION NEEDED.

Mob law appears to be bre king out
in spots all over the West On Sunday,
the Sd inst, a man was hung by a mob
near Peoria, Ills, and two or three had
been hung in the same region previously.
On the 9TH inst, man was arrested at
Huron, Lawrence county, Indiana, for
stealing, and the officers, started with
him 20 the county Jail at Bedford, late in
the evening. Just after night fall com
pany of about thirty men issued from
dense woods, some four miles from
Bedford, and took the man away from
the officers, and then proceeded to lynch
him in the most brutal manner. When
they had whipped him nearly to death,
they turned him loose, and he was again
taken charge Of by the officers and con-
veyed to jail. Gaylord Liman, sheriff
of Lucas county Iowa, was shot on the
9th inst, by horse thief and died at
10 O'Clock that night. A mob hung the
murderer in ten minutes thereafter from
the courthouse window. Notwithstand-
ing these lawless demonstrations, we
hear nothing about putting these States
under martial law. The Radical Gov
ernors are powerless to preserve the lives
of the citizens, still Congress docs not
interfere.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATI0N, 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 'desponding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. O II
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 ia reused and regu-
lated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancieA, they
are put to fight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face Of the e1.raor-
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 e7acuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring aud Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, In which are COM
bined tho elements of q stomachic, an
nvigorant mild laxative, nervine and
an anti-bilious specific, reign p their
stead Sold by all Druggists.
