A LITTLE REBELLION IN PROS.
PECT.

FEtIs
Of the apportionment question: very
exciting one at the West-the Chicago
Tribune, the leading Radical journal in
the Northwest, says:
'FCongress has, by a trick which is
more dishonorable than the ordinary dis
reputable practices of factious minorities,
denied to the people of the Western
States the representation to which they
they are entitled under the constitution,
and the only proper way to meet that af-
front, and to vindicate their rights is for
the conventions of both political parties
in ali these State to nominate, in addition
to the present number of Representatives,
such other number as the State may be
entitled to under the census"
The Philadelphia North american
RadicaD calls this Western fanaticism,
and says it bids fair to be as ultra as that
of the South had ever been. We quote:
''The Chicago Tribune braves the
power of the national government, dares
Congress to be governed by the regular
laws of apportionment rather than by
Western dictation, and threatens that the
West will not submit. OF course it hopes
to be backed up in this by the rebellious
element at the South, in which we think
it viii be mistaken. The South has had
on ample trial of electing delegates on its
own account and then daring Congress to
reject them. Congress has dared over
and over again, and will dare to do it.
again in the case Of the Western rebels.
In view of this formidable movement of
the West to assume an arrogant tone to-
ward the East, it behooVes us to adopt
measures to utilize the entire volume of
that immigration for our own purposes,
rainier than to seek to make it an instru-
ment against ourselves. The change has
been begun, but should be hastened by
the aid of organized effort

THE new Constitution of Illinois,

THE new Constitution of Illinois, just
adopted, provides for aSenate of fifty-one
members and a House of one hundred
and fifty-three Representatives; and also
requires that each member of the Gene
raj Assembly, in taking the oath of office,
shall swear that he has not paid or offered
to pay, in the form of a bride, anymoney
or other consideration to secure his Cleo
ton, and that he will not accept any con-
sideration of value for any vote he may
give or fail to give, or for any official act
he may do. The State is to be divided
into fifty-one Senate districts, each enti-
tied to three Representatives, and for the
election of such Representatives each vO-
ter is 10 be entitled to three ballots, all of
which he may cast for one person, or he
may divide them up between two or three
candidates, as to him shall seem good.
This system does not go into operation
until 1872. After that time the people of
other States will have an opportunity of
testing the practical workings of this plan
of voting

The Blood in Summer.

The blood deteriorates in hot weather. Profuse
psrspiration deprives 1t of portion Of its nour-
ishing and reproductive properties. Consequent
ly, in summer, the flesh loses in some degree, its
rmness, its muscles lack their usual elasticity and
vigor, and the weight OF the body diminishes.
These are clear Indications that the ordinary sup
ply of the Hfesustainng principle afforded by the
food we eat, is not sufficient to meet the require
ments Of the system under high temperature
There ia another reason for this besides the direct
influence of the heat viz the loss of appetite and
the weakening of the digestive powers which it &C.
casions. Under these circumstances a wholesome
invigorant is evidently needed, and the best and
safest Is Hoatetter's Stomach Bitters. This adj
mirable vegetable tonic and Alternative acts fsyora-
bly, upon the system in several Ways. 1t increases
the appetite and facilitates Digestion thereby in
clining the stomach to receive and enabling it to
assimilate due amount Of nourishment. II also
tones the relaxed secretiye organs and the bowels.
Under its operation, the process Of emaciation,
occasioned by the drain through the pores, is ar
rested, the whole frame refreshed and inyigorased
and the spirits extilarsted. The dyspeptic, the
bilious the nervous, the deblitsted scarcely need
to be told that it is precisely the stimulant and
corrective they ought to take at this season.
Thousands of them know the fact by experience.
Nothing in the phsrmscop@ia Tor out Of it, vii
supply its place-least of all the trashy local nos
trums which some INSCRIPTIONS dealers would be
glad, for the benefit of their own pockets, to ped
die out in its stead. jy9-deod1w&w1t

LOSING CASTE.


Poor Grant is running down so rapidly
that leading journals in his own party are
disposed to ridicule his pretensions and
burlesque his official public exhibitions.
The Cincinnati Commercial, for instance,
thus ventilates the Presidential show IN
Connecticut on the fourth Of July:
president Grant does not improve in
his forensic abilities. The speeches he
made along the line of his trip to Con-
necticut come, if anything, a shade more
awkwardly expressed than any he had
delivered Take for example his speech
in response to the Mayor of New Haven.
Said he: e-a :aar1at

Grant is evidently losing caste with
those who assisted in electing him. When
such is the calibre of the President, what
can the country hope for in the way of
intelligent and substantial progress under
his administration of public affairs9

IT is stated that Ex-senator Morton,
whose health, lately, has become greatly
impaired, is forced by the advice of
physicians to forego further services in

soon center the campaign in Indiana,
and will make speeches at the principal
points throughout the State" That is a

THE JUDICIAL CONvENTIoN-ITs
NnMFNAEIONS.


The Convention which assembled yes
terday in the Capitol, to advise and con-
fer upon the propriety of making nomi-
nations for Judges of our Supreme Court,
was one of the largest, most influential
and intelligent bodies of gentlemen ever
assembled in the State Oaly fourteen
representative districts out of the entire
State were absent. Upon comparison
of views, and the wishes of the people
who delegated them to act, the members
were almost, if not unanimously of the
opinion that 1t was proper and expedient
to make nominations. .7sgs
The organization was effected with
great harmony. The voting was had by
counties and districts, and the friends of
all the distinguished and able gentlemen
whose names were presented to the Con-
yention, had all opportunity in the voting
to present fully and fairly their claims.
The result will be found in our report of
the proceedings:
FOR EAST TENNESSEE.
Thos. A. R. Nelson,
Jas w. Deaderick.
FOR MIDDLE TENNESSEE.
40. P. Nicholson,
Peter Turney.
FOR WEST TENNESSEE
John L. T. Sneed,
Thomas J. Freeman. "
These gentlemen each and all are wor-
thy the high distinction thus conferred
upon them. Eminent both as lawyers
and citizens, their fitness will not be ques-
toned. When elected they will, by their
decisions, add lustre to the Jurisprudence
of our State, already famed through q
long line of upright able and justly dis
tinguished juriseonsults. Knowing them
all, we might speak in glowing terms
of each. Suffice it. however, to say
that with them, Individually or collec-
lively, we are willing to risk our lives,
our property, and our sacred honor. We
trust the people win endorse the.action of
the Convention by their undivided vote,
and that the nominees will assume their
places in our temple of Justice by the
unanimous voice of all who have an
equal interest in having pure its minis
trations. .-........- b

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER 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 CroiI Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes Of the
world to this great fact. The life-sus-
tanning principle embodied In this great
Vegetable Restorative il manifested In
the weak and responding by an inmedi-
ate and most encouraging change. . II
the appetite has failed, It is quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet it becomes easy and thorough; If
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; If the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and r,strung; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fAncies, they
are put to fight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the fNce of the extrsor-
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 evacuenz which were
once prescribed a. the Spring aud Sum
mer medicines, have utterly lost tAsir
prestige The nick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, in which are com
bined the elements Of Q stomachio, an
invigorant . mild laxative, . neryins and
an Ant-bilioua specific, reign ip their
stead. Sold by al Druggists.
