ruary ID tells the following!
At the Three-mile house, on the Elko road,
near Hamilton, Chnaman called George of1ic-
ates as cook For some weeks George had fire.
quently made mention of having II "big lat "
cruising about nights in the kitchen among the
pots and pans, or climbing shelves among dishes
and bottles. He had got glimpse of him sew
eral times and knew him to be whopper, so he
became exceedingly desirous of capturing that
"bg lat" George laid for him, and one eve
ming he created quite sensation by shouting
for assistance. ProprietorS, bar-keeper, team
sters, boarders and every body else ran into the
kitchen to what was the matter, and there
George Gown in the corner holding fast
and singing out like good fellow :" Me got
him ! you come quick" They asked him what
the matter, " Big lat, big lat r' roared
George "me gottee big lat you come kill him. ."
Sure enough, George had pinned him with a
couple of forks just he was dodging out
through hole. "Where is he, Georgey' " Here
me gotiee him good All he smell big, you
bet. Whew Goddam he stink plenty" BY
this time the big rat was slaughtered and found
to be a full grown skunk of the first water. 1t
took week or more to get rid of the scent; but
poor George will not very soon hear the last OF
the jokes on him about his big lat"

We have been told that Radicalism in
Tennessee was ga disarmed and surren-
dered adversary" The facts, however,
do not seem to warrant this conclusion
Their State Central Executive Committee
met at the office of Hon. Jno. Trimble
in this city yesterday, and agreed upon a
ticket for Supreme Judges: Judge Mill
gan and Ken. Wheeler, from East Ten
nessee, Judge Trimble and Mr.. Wisener,
from Middle Tennessee, and Judges
Hawkins and VIM. NJ. Smith, from the
Western District.
We advise our friends all over the State
&c be upon the alert. If there be any
disorganisers in their midst give no heed
to them, but work for the success of the
ticket which stands at the head of our
editorial columns. . ..

ELECTION OF SUPREME JUDGES.
The voters of Tennessee should bear in
mind that there are six Supreme Judges
to be elected on the first Thursday in Au-
gust, two from the Eastern division of
the State, two from the Middle, and two
from the Western. Each candidate must
reside in the division for which he is
elected. The tickets should state, as far
as possible, the division in which the can
didate resides. TnE RETURNING OFFICERS
MUST BE ESPECIALLY PARTICULAR IN STA
TING IN THEIR RETURNS THE DIVISION FOR
WHICH EACH CANDIDATE IS VOTED.
The Sheriff, Coroner or other officer
holding the election shall within five days
after the election make out and transmit
to the Secretary of State true return of
the number of votes received by each
candidate for Judge, Chancellor and At
torney General.
The Sheriff must open and hold the
election unless he be a candidate. In
that event it must be held by the Coroner,
a-1 in the event of his incompetency it
must be opened and held as provided for
in the Code.

THE Banner thinks we desire to make
a point on its special dispatch of the 21st
from Knoxville which reported ex-Presi-
dent Johnson and Gen. Quarles as speak
ing there, when in fact Mr.. johnson
spoke in Rogersville and not in Knox
vile, and Gen. Quarles was not in East
Tennessee. The Banner says:
Since we had editorially announced,
the day preceding, that johnson would
speak at Rogersville, that the error was
purely accidental on our part was appa-
rent to-the reader, and, wehave no doubt,
to our contemporary, The same Knox
vile dispatch stated also that Quarles
spoke. We had no means of judging, at
the time, the correctness or incorrectness
of the latter statement. The dispatch
was sent by a Knoxville cOnfrere, at our
Geographic. request, and published as
sent.
We cannot see nor do VIC charge that
there was any error on the part of the
Banner. The error was on the part of
the Knoxville confrere" who sent the
dispatch. The public would like to
know how he happened TO telegraph
from Knoxville, that Mr.. johnson spoke
there that day, and that Gen. Quarles
spoke at night. Let him speak.

Total trade. $685. 100000 s4,60O,O.O 100000
With France, our imports and exports
combined amounts to $95, 400, 900 and
with North Germany $40, 10000 max
ing total of $165, AGO, 900 of commerce,
or one-sixth of our whole foreign ex-
change. Of this total, says the Bulletin,
500, 900, 900 consists of exports, or over
one-ffth of our whole exports. Last
year the North German Union took from
us $l3, 100000 of cotton, 50, $50, 900 of
petroleum, $5,l0O,OOO of tobacco, and
81 400, 900. of lard. In our imports from
that country the largest items are
cloths, So, $780, 900; hosiery, 50, 700, 900;
dress goods, $1,1oO, 900; clothing, ss15,-
900 +; Iaces. 1854, 900, and ribbons, 1885,
600. Our trade with France consists
mainly in the importation of the finer
silks and worsted fabrics and in the
expectation of cotton, tobacco and
petroleum. Nine-tenths of our trade
with Prussia was done in foreign bottoms;
while, with France, the better half was
done in American bottoms. 1t is to be
presumed that our trade with North Ger
many will be seriously interrupted. The
Prussian fleet is small compared with that
of France, and it is to be expected that
no time will be lost in blockading the
ports of Hamburg and Bremen Through
which four-fifths of our trade with Prus-
STA is conducted), as well as the Baltic
ports of the Kingdom. AS there is now
perhaps $40, 200, 900 of goods ordered in
the States of the North German Union
for the fall trade Of the United States, it
is matter of considerable importance to
ascertain what prospect there is of that
merchandise reaching us in due time for
market. 1t would appear that the. only
possibility of our getting the goods is
through series of transfers to agents in
adjoining countries and reshipments from
those agents TO the seabOard of a neutral
power. e- .- ...
Should the war go on, it is not improb-
able that Russia's jealousy of France and
her singing recollection of the Crimea
may induce her ultimately to take sides
with Prussia. In that event, it is to be
expected that Austria would go with
France, and the ENHANCEMENT having
gone thus far, it is difficult to see how
Belgium, Italy, Holland, and possibly
Switzerland also could avoid being drawn
IN. For the purpose of showing to what
extent our commerce would be affected in
the event of the war spreading to this
length, the Bulletin presents the follow
ing statement of our trade, imports and
exports combined, with each of the pow
ers, for the fiscal year ending June 80,

An impression has prevailed that the
Radicals in Georgia would ask the opin-
ion of Attorney General Alderman, who
is familiar with all the phases of the
Georgia situation, as to the extent of the
powers of the bill in relation to that State
passed just before the adjournment of
Congress. 1t IS learned, however, from
the Attorney General that there is no
probability of the subject coming before
Mr.. Alderman in his official capacity, but
his opinion, if obtained, would undoubt-
edly be that an election must be held this
fall.

young man named Lamb, fancying that
certain young woman, Mary Crecs had
bewitChed him, rushed upon her, seized
her by the throat, and, pulling out his
penbnife, attempted 60 wound her. His
object was to draw a little blood which

THE New York Herald thinks that
the world has not for many generations
seen a more bewildering, confounding
spectacle of imbecility-or downright in
ability TO comprehend and grasp single
thought-than that shown by the United
States Congress in refusing to aid Ameri-
can shipping interests. Congress knew
that Grant did not originate the idea of
purchasing the German vessels, and they
were afraid some persons other than
Radicals would make money by the ope-
ration. If leading Radical Congressman
had had an assurance of a share of profits,
there would have been no difficulty about
the matter.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.
Medical treatment has been revolution

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 Efe-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested In
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change = II
the appetite has failed, 1t 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 restrung; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fsncies, they
are put to fight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the extraor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
sla, biHousness, 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 aud Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot tSSs them,
and Plantation Bitters, In which ara com,
bined the elements of Z gtomAchic, an

an anti-bilious specific, reign ip their
stead Bold by all Druggists.
