Democratic Nominees.
rIEcT1oN TOMORROW.

Our people should bear in mind tha'
tomorrow is the most important election
that has come off in the State for years
mast. The Democrat who absents him
self from the polls without good reason
is guilty of an act little less than crimi'
nal in its nature, and deserves to wear
the collar of Radicalism round his neck
for years to come as punishment and
public badge of disgrace. Rarely has
there ever been before such select com
bination of representative men ON the
Democratic ticket, who are fully
competent in every respect to do
the bidding of the people. Business
men may give as an excuse that they
have not the time to come out and vote
for these nominees, imagining that this
is not as much part Of their business
as to sell dry goods, groceries or other
commodities, from the sale Of which they
derive living. This is mistaken idea,
for the duty devolves on all classes OF
the community to see that proper agents
are selected to administer the Govern
ment; otherwise the industrial pursuits
of the country, with every department
of trade, must languish and die for want
of wholesome laws to give adequate pro-
lection and preservation. We in this
State especially have felt the evil of bad
government under the conduct of the
ate Radical dispensation, and shudder
at the bare thought of again having
our neeks pressed by the yoke of the ty-
rants. To avoid this old condition Of
affairs our good Democratic citizens
must come out to the election tomorrow
and see that every poll is put into
the box for the regular nominees of the
party. We hope there will be no
scratching of names on the list, for
each and every gentleman come recon-
mended by conventions of the party,
whish is clear enough Endorsement to re-
ceiye the favorable appreciation of all
true men in the county and district. We
have been inclined TO sleep as it were
over fancied security and the easy way
in which we will defeat the Radi-
calls tomorrow. Now, we are not
an alarmisti but understand that I'M
less our friends go to the polls and
with their own hands see the work Of
electing our officers is done, then we are
sure we are TO have Radicals placed in
control of the government for the next
three years

FIRST corps, are making forced marches
on Amiens and Rouen. The greatest ex-
element prevails at both places.
The kingdom of Wurtembourg and
Grand Duchies of Baden and Hesse
have accepted the Northern German
Constitution. Bavaria refuses to accept
it, and insists upon separate treaty for
herself reserving her military and diplo-
matte sovereignty. This obstinacy is
prompted by court circles at Munich.

Accidents md Incidents.

From the Paris Tenn.) Intelligencer. 4th.l
Our energetic Sheriff, Major Porter,
and his efficient deputies, made a raid
upon some violators of the law, last Mon
day, in the vicinity of Caledonia, in this
county, and captured two men by the
name of Mitchell, Edward Gustav and
Henry Miller. Shoat Mitchell was ar
rested for carrying concealed weapons,
and the other parties for Ku-Kluxing.
They we're bound over till the next term
of our Circuit Court. Ed Custar gave
bail; the two Mitchells and Miller fail
ing to do so, were committed to jail.
McCracken, who was captured last
week in the attempted rescue of young
Rothrock, has been released on bail.
Last Saturday evening, in race at the
Fair Grounds, young man by the name
Of Brockwell was thrown from his horse
against tree, and seriously, if not
fatally, injured Heis in very critical
condition.

From the Chicago Republican.
Mr.. Morton, of Indiana, has definitely
declined the mission TO the Court Of St.
James, rendered to him by General Grant.
The reason why Mr. Morton declines is
that the result Of the late election in
Indiana, being adverse to the Republican
party, if he should resign his seat in the
Senate Of the United States in order to
accept the appointment, the place he
occupies would be filed by Democrat
Now it does not strike us that the rea-
son given by Mr.. Morton is sufficient.
On the contrary, the result Of the Indi-
ana election affords very excellent rea-
son why he should resign his Senator
ship, without afiording any reason what
ever for his appointment as minister. He
should resign his Senatorship because
the people Of Indiana have decided
against him. He does not represent
them any longer; and although he has
formal title 10 retain his place, il repre-
sentative government means anything.
and republican institutions are any bet
ter than a cover for fraud, his duty is TO
retire. We are aware that we are preach
ing higher political morality than is in
vogue with professional partizans and
men who play the political game with
regard solely TO their own interests; but
nevertheless we insist that true sense
Of honor would impel Mr.. Morton TO
leave a place to which, morally, his title
has become extinct.
He should not be appointed Minister,
because it is a dishonest custom which
has obtained, and injurious to the stand
ing Of the administration by which it is
that Of making il a hospital
for broken down political hacks whom
the people have rejected. tits adehance

ton can afford to exhibit, and which the

feat OF that party, more than 70 any other

At recent wedding the five brides
maids wore sashes about an inch wide

Nervous HEADACHE, LIVER Con-
PLANT, Ere. -fhe brain being the most
delicate and sensitive of all our organs,
is necessarily more or lqA aiiected by
all our bodily ailments. AAeadache is
often the first symptom of serious dis.
ease. If the nervous system is affected,
there is always trouble at its source in
the percranium, And it may be here
remarked that as the nervous fibre per-
vades the entire frame, no part of the
physical structure can be affected with
out the nerves suffering systematically.
Liver complaint of every type affects the
brain. Sometimes the effect is stupor,
confusion of ideas, hypochondriasis;
sometimes persistent or periodical head
ache. In any case, the best remedy that
can be taken is Plantation Bitters. In
headache proceeding from indigestion or
biliousness, or both, the stomachic and
anti-bilious properties Of the preparation
will soon relieve the torture, byremoving
the cause. If the complaint is purely
nervous--in other words, if it has origin
ated in the nervous system, and is not
the result of sympathy, the Bitters will
be equally elficacous.

reader, if the aspect of the weather was UNI

yourself at this dangerous season with some
thing more important than either of these ar

this is the safest, the surest, the most genial.
