The Mississippi River.

The three great factors in this equation
of disease are solar heat, moisture, and
vegetable decomposition. Neither one
alone is capable of begetting the precise
condition necessary to produce sickness.
They must all coexist. The trio,'if sep
arated, are harmless--together, they are
more potent for evil than any other known
agents. So long as they exist, just SO
long will we have need of a medicine
which viii overcome their pernicious
effects, SO long will itbe necessary to have
a remedy capable Of meeting and beating
the insidious enemy; and of all known
agents for this purpose none is to com
pare with that marvellous compound,
Edward Wilder's Chill Tonic. Try it,
all you who are suffering from any form
of ague, as cure is guaranteed in every
case. .-i s.f Ha r.isiaI

Very many persons know the operation
Of croton oil when placed on the tongue.
To say the least, it is speedy. Purge
tives in some shape acknowledgements in
the practice Of medicine. Many diseases
are incurable without them, most diseases
require them some time during their
course, and nearly all of the simple dis
orders of the system are benefited by
their use. The great desideratum in
their administration has been to get one
which was either laxative or purgative as
was needed, always mild, but always'efii-
cient, and the, use of which did not make
it necessary to continue its use. 1t will
be seen ut a glance that this was no easy
task, no light work Yet it has been
done. Edward Wilders Family Pills
fulfill all the requirements Of the case.
They are laxative, yet sure; purgative,
yet mild.

The CoIorta Era.

This is the name of new weekly pa
per started at Washington City in the in
terest of the colored race. The editors
are both colored-one, a Presbyterian
preacher, is named Martin, and the other
Fred Douglass. The paper is respectful
in its tone and has more symptoms OF
decency than most of the Radical sheets
published by whites. The proprietors
say:
The New Era will take high national
ground upon all public questions, and la,
Dor TO inspire o oneness of purpose ana
encourage unity of action, especially
among the newly-enfranchised people OF
the Reconstructed States.
This will be good news to the newly
enfranchised rebels of Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and other States reconstructed or
about to be reconstructed. The goddess
of liberty on the title page is colored
lady with a samptuous looking waterfall.
The New Era arises where, perhaps, a
hundred other papers have failed, and 1t
will doubtless live as long as some OF the
rest.

THE nECoxsTRUCTION OF TEN
NEssEE.

Aoa;n we hear from Washington the
faint mutterings Of the reconstruction o.
Tennessee. Radicalism is disquieted
about things in this State, and has been
made to take into its stomach something
that will not digest. What it is, pre-
e;selr must soon be spewed out. our
whole conduct for the past year is under
going the most rigid scrutiny Of the
LOYAL Reconstruction Committee. Ii Is
alleged that life, liberty and the pursuit
ofhappiness is not secure under the Sen
ter registration; that new one must
be had. and the election of State officers
again held under Radical supervision.
1t is reported that the committee have in
formally agreed to this. and Will next
week report bill looking to this end
We would not be surprised. But Bill
Congress pass the bill BY a majority Of
Yoses7 That Is the question. IL IS
doubtful to orr mind if any such thing
will be accomplished in the case Of Ten
nessee. The Radicals 1.-THE more sensi-
bic portion of them are already sick Of
the last remodeling Of Georgia, end have
gotten into a middle that is not pleasent
TO contemplate They have never clearly
admitted that Congress had q right to
look into the affairs Of sovereign State
pretending to act under the Constitution
Of the United States, although, in fact,
they have infringed this rule in several in
stances. Tennesseew was not from the first
made subject to the reconstruction law,
having been worked over by the bayonet
before the passage of these acts. The
thought of undergoing another election
and new registration is not withal fear
full to think Of If the men in the State
who are entitled to vote are given cert
ficates, and fair count is kept at the
ballot-box, and no throwing out Demo
cratic polls, we can carry the State, in
spite of the tricks Of the Radical party.
All we askin any event is a fair showing.
Then let Congress, il it dare. take the
extraordinary step Of demonstrating this
State without the shadow Of an excuse
1t will be a fatal movement for the oil
garchy. one which would clear all doubts
from the minds Of the people that this ID
nothing more than centralized despot
ism. 1t would serve as the rope to hang

THE CONVENTIONAL INTEREST
BILL.

The conventional interest law, passed
by the Legislature of this State, goes into
effect on the first of june. There exists
a wrong impression in the minds of some
that the law was made to take effect on
and after its passage This mistake arose
from the fact that the engrossing clerk
did not copy the bill as itpassed. Hence
the official copy Of the law, filed in the
Secretary of States Office, contains an
error. The mistake has been remedied,
and we are not to have the benefit of the
new interest law for two months yet to
onrna

pretty WELL It was not expected that
such a collection of men would act upto
the standard Of first-class law-malang
power. They did not possess the ideas
or stamina to ct them for great achieve
ments It may turn out that a great
amount of caution and timidity was the
thing required at this time, and IT so we
were certainly blessed with a most ex-

FoR the benefit of those of our mer-
chants who do not believe in Advertising
we publish the following, taken from the
Avalanche Of yesterday:
"The great success attending liberal
advertising has just been again clearly
demonstrated in our midst. In looking
over the gross sales as reported to the
Assessor Of Internal Revenue, by our
leading dry goods houses, for example,
which has lately been published IN the
Evening LEDGER, We find those houses
which advertise most literally report the
largest sales. Take, for instance, the
house of b. Lowenstein & Bros, which
paws more for advertising than any other
house in this city. Even through the
extremely dull month of January their
sales actually footed up fifteen thousand
dollars more than those of any other OF
our dry goods houses, either wholesale
or retail. No doubt an excellent loca-
t;on and an extensive stock of goods, as
VOL as fair dealing, have contributed
10 The sancess of B. Lowenstein a
Bros; but judieisss advertising has
been the main influence, and they under
stand fully the art. For they might
crowd their shelves with the choicest Sc
Iections. and mark their prices the lowest
and vet without proelaiming through the
columns Of the press comparatively lev
would know of the inducements offered
Their counters would not present the
busy scene daily witnessed, nor would
their names be household words through
out the section of which Memphis IS the
outlet. And not only is this true as con-
ra-4nent of trade II, will be found that
the most enterprising and prosperous are
those gho keep their stocks well up, sell
eheav. ana advertise literally. Such men
are Lowenstein Bsos, The lessons
taught By their experience should lead
merchants in every branch Of business to
emulate the spirit Of enterprise for which
they are justly remarkabls, y
