Eg- There being n considerable a
mount Of smallpox in New Orleans and
its vicinity, the following remedy and
plan Of treatment appears in the New
Orleans Times, from physician of that
city:
That Gasoline is a great rcfrigcrant
and disinfectant is well known. When
sponged carefully upon the whole body
Of smallpox patient it reduces the
humidity and heat, neutralizes the nasty
specific odor which exhales from the
body, and produces a most delightful,
soothing and comfortable sensation. BY
its rapid evaporation it abstracts the heat
from the infamed surface, checks the ul-
ccrative process of the true skin and
thereby prevents pitting. 1t also prevents
other persons from taking the disease in
the apartments of the patient, by disn.
fccting the room. 1t has very cooling
effect, and does not smart There is no
danger OF taking cold from it's use, since
it does not 'cet the body. To argue the
probable mode in which this simple RENE.
dy acts in modifying the loathsome dis
ease, have not time. AS an evidence
Of its value, / would instance the improv
ment Of all my own cases. Every intel
ligent physician will readily see why it
ought to do good, theoretically and am
sure there will be no disappointment in
practice.
The following is the manner in which
use it:
Gasoline, ono pint
Gum camphor, one.half ounce.
Pulverized sulphite Of SO, one drachm.
Pure carbolic acid, five drops.
Shake well, and the articles will dis.
solve in few minutes. r,4 .......
Sponge the body with the mixture evc-
ry two or three hours, until all signs Of
Inflammation have ceased Give five or
ten drops in little sweetened water
every three hours.
Fl. Caution DO not have light near the
patient while the mixture is being applied.

LEGISLATFyE.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Steele,
chairman of the House Committee on Fl
nance, Ways and Means, to repeal the
act of both of January, entitled An act
for the payment of the State debt, is one
of much more importance than we at
first supposed. The act proposed to be
repealed is the act which authorized any
railroad company indebted TO the State
for bonds Hoaned to Lquidate such in
debtedness by payment to the State of
any six per cent bonds of the State with
cut regard to series or number, and also
authorizing said roads owing interest, al
ready due, to discharge the same in past
due coupons The introduction of this
bill was occasioned, we are informed, by
the frauds developed in the late investi-
cations by the Joint Railroad Committee.

THE HDICIARY.

1t is really amusing TO hear Radicals
deprecating bipartisan judiciary" When
they were in power they made clean
sweep of the judiciary. The constitution
required that the Judges should be elected
by the qualified voters" but where there
was doubt entertained as to the ability
of the Radicals to elect Judge, Brown
low, who was then Governor, made a
sure thing of it by splitting upon this pro-
vision of the constitution and appointing
Radical. The Radicals then thought
this was all right. They did not have q
word to say in condemnation of Brown
lows disregard Of the constitution, or of
his appointing ga partisan judiciary. I"
1t was notorious that Drownlow would
not order an election for a Judge
unless a man who would 'tfill the bilr'
according to his notion, would certainly
be elected, and the consequence was that
nearly every Judge in the State was bit
ter, vindictive Radical, not by the choice
Of the QUALIFIED voters" but by the will
of Brownlow, the greatest law-breaker
We have ever had in Tennessee. And
this course met the hearty approval of the
men who now profess to deprecste ga
partisan judiciary" The matter of select
ing candidates for the Judgeships as well
as electing them, is left with the qualified
voters" and we have confidence they will
place men upon the bench eminent for
their legal attainments, and not as q re-
ward for partisan services. Even if the
contrary should be the rule with the
people, the TsGdicals ought for decency's
sake, to keep their mouths shut

IMMIGRATION.

There is TO be an important immigra-
ton meeting in Louisville ON the 9th of
June. We are informed that there will
be present from the Northwestern States
persons representing a thousand German
families who wish to leave the colder lati-
tudes and find homes in the Southern
States. The principal object of the meet
ing in Louisville is to obtain information
from the various Southern States for the
purpose of determining those wishing TO
come South in the selection of the most
desirable locality for their future
homes In so important q
meeting Middle Tennessee should
certainly be represented. Those who will
be there from the Northwest are repre-
sentatiyes from the most acceptable class
of immigrants. The German farmers are
industrious, sober and honest. They viii
prove great help in the development Of
our agricultural interests upon which
every other interest is based. Those citi-
zens of Nashville who are devoting their
to the promotion of immigration
should not permit this opportunity of
correct information of the ad-
of our State to pass unimproyed.
We suggest that a Nashville delegation
be appointed to attend the Louisville meet

ANOTHER LAM sLInE.

The passage of the Northern Pacific
railway bin is the accomplishment of an
other huge Congressional job. We are
told that this bill grants TO the company
another slice of the public domain, and
authorizes them to issue their bonds and
secure the same by a mortgage on the
lands. 1t enriches the company, without
the actual construction of a rcd of rail-
way, with an irrevocable subsidy greater
than has ever before been granted TO any
combination of spectators or the CONT
nent. Ii places them under no restric-
tons or limitations for the security of the
government or the benefit of the people,

SAYS the Emperor of the French in
his recent speech: Honest persons of
all parties will now unite in efforts to
soften the asperities of partisan passion,
to preserve social interests from the con-
tagion of false doctrines, and to augment
by all lawful means the grandeur and
prosperity of France" That is the Ian
guage of ''tyrant and despot." We
take different view of things in this the
"best government on earth" Softening
partisan asperities. Cancellation and good
government may do very well for despotic
France, but we Americans are ''above
such things"

that no violence was used by Mr.. Goddard
or any one else, toward the Rev. Bays.
He was merely informed by Mr.. Goddard
that he (Bays) could not preach at the

there; and the crowd of coloFed men col

/ No violence was used toward Mr.. Bays
simply because he did not attempt to

THR CoTToN MOVEMENT for the week
ending Friday evening shows heavy de-
crease. The receipts at al the ports
amount to 30,73O bales, against "A, O55
for The week ending May 20, SO, 1856 for
the week ending May IS, 57,S36 for the
week ending May 6, and 5O,564 for the
week ending April %. The total receipts
at all the ports amount to 2, 749, 755 bales.
The exports from all the ports for the
week foot up Ss, 421 bales, against 45 737
for the week ending May 20, and 81, $40
fer the week ending May Is. As to our
own crop, the New York Bulletin says it
now appears to be generally conceded
that three million bales is q low
enough estimate to meet the views of
the most persistent advocates OF a short
supply, and with this question virtually
settled, all attention is given to the posi-
ton Of affairs abroad, and contracts are
bought and sold according to the views
of operators upon this question. On the
one hand, it is claimed that the deficit in
shipments from all cotton growing coun-
tries, except the United States, will alone
be sufficient to sustain values, to say
nothing of the present and prospective
case in money, which will enable holders
to carry stocks without difficulty, while,
on the other hand, it is thought that
scarcity of cotton abroad, particularly the
East Indies, viii be found to hsve arisen
more from stock held back than from any
great falling off in the actual growth, and
that next month will develop very heavy
Bombay shipments. Another point urg-
ed against high prices is large stock of
cotton fabrics throughout the world, and
a consequent probable small production
for some time to come.

The New York Express states that the
aggregate arrivals of immigrants at that
city on the oath and 18th inst. are be-
tween 5000 and 5000. The Liverpool
journals state that this vast immigration
is likely to continue throughout the sum-
mer. Not only that port is swarming,
but Queenstown, Southampton, and the
German ports are alive with men, women
and children waiting for passage-and
there is not line of steamers that is not
taxed to their utmost capacity, to meet
the requirements upon them.

POLITICAL. DISABILITIES.


1t is very evident from the onslaught Of
Senator Morton in the discussion Of the
enforcement bill that there will be no
general amnesty enactment during the
present session of Congress. Senator
Morton, in the speech to which we refer,
gives the true reason for this opposition
of the Congressional majority to general
amnesty. He says the passage of such a
law would prevent the return of Radical
Congressman from the South. This, if
not very patriotic, nor very logical, is at
least very pointed. 1t is gratifying to
know that the entire Radical party of the
North do not sustain the majority in Con-
gress In their opposition to general am
nesty. Leading Radical journals oppose
continued prescription. This indicates
that the masses of the party are becoming
dissatisfied with the policy of their leaders
on this subject The Cincinnati Gazette
says:
There is much evidence that an elective
government which DISTINGUISHES the prin-
cipal body of the tax payers, and ostra-
eizes those most intelligent and most ac-
customed to the affairs of government,
runs to profigacy.
We can reason that the attempt to carry
on popular government which excludes
theop ie IN abandon tho commemorative
forces of intelligence and responsibility.
We cannot avoid the conclusion that such
government has no right TO exist; and
that, if the people cannot bearust6d, the
national government should govern them.
If the Radicals in Congress had been
governed three years ago by such sugges-
tons as these, they would have had much
more powerful cooperation in the South
ern States than they can now reasonably
hope to have.
