Three Requisites of Health,

II all the sickly people in the world were to take
to their beds, and demand medical treatment,
there would not BE doctors enough to attend them,
nor a sufficient number of the robust to nurse

health, viz: good appetite, easy digestion, and
the ability to sl0ep soundy. Seven-eigh.hs of the
many thousands who suffer from indisposition,
that they "csnT est, that their stomacLs are "ou
Of order" or that they "don't sleep WELL" For
this class Of ailments few persons think Of calling
in physician. Nor is IT necessary, inasmuch as a
course Of Hostetters Biters will certainly relieve
the arrangements Of the stomach, the liver, and
the nervous system, from which want Of appetite
indigestion aud sleeplessness arise. This excellent
vegetable tonic and corrective IL also delightful

PARLIAmENrAnYI,m

Under the late Constitution bills were
passed in our Legislature by majority
OF those voting, provided there was a
quorum present Under this provision
the rules of the House of Representa-
uves were adopted. The tweniy-sixth of
those rules permits motion for the re-
consideration of any vote to be made by
any one voting with the majority. For
instance, if there were eighty members
present, forty-one voting for and thirty
nine voting against proposition, any one
OF the forty-one voting for the PROPOSE
ton could move q reconsideration of the
question. --
Under the new Constitution, as con
strued ~ the House, forty three votes,
a majority of all the members of that
body, are required to pass bill. If there
are only eighty members voting, forty-one
for and thirty nine against, the bill fails
because of the lack of the Constitutional
number in its favor. The question arose
in the House yesterday morning: The
bill having failed, could one of the forty
one move reconsideration, that member
not being the majority required by the
Constitution to pass a bill After dis
cussiOn, the matter was referred to the
Judiciary Committee to prepare a new
rule Of the House, which would relieve
the matter from ambiguity.
Gushing In his treatise on Parliamentary
Law, sec 1871, says, ''The motion to
reconsider is to be decided by the votes OF
a majority in the ordinary manner,
though a different rule, requiring more
or permitting less than majority, is es-
tsblished for the decision of the question
which tits proposed TO consider" This
would seem TO be conclusive on the sub
ject.

IMMIGRATION.

We publish to-day an excellent article
from one of our most intelligent citizens
upon the subject of Immigration. We clip
from the COWier-JOurluI of. yesterday
he following: IN III
Yesterday Messrs. John Mayer, Leopold
Nullenhoff and Biasius Groell, q commit
tce of the Buffalo, n. Y. Homestead AS
sOciatiOn, passed through the city on their
way 20 Tennessee. They are the repre-
sentatives of large snd influential corpo-
ration in the State of New York, whose
object Il is TO procure homes in the South
west for a large number of the sturdy
farmers of that State. Their visit 10 Ten
neSsee is for the purpose of personally ex-
aiming the lands Offered for sale in that
State, with the view of purchasing them
for the use of their society. The immi-
grants whom they represent are sturdy,
healthy, industrious people, with ample
means to purchase lands-just the sort of
settlers that Kentucky needs. The com
miltee will return to this city on
Saturday, and we would suggest
that some measures be taken
TO present to their favorable consideration
she many advantages of Kentucky 10 i'm
migrants. Thousands of acres of fertile
lands are lying idle awaiting only the bid
ding Of the skillful husbandman to bloom
into fruitful harvests. The climate is
agreeable and healthy, the markets for all
sorts Of produce abundant and profitable,
and the many lines of railroad and her
nayigabls streams afford ready means of
transportation. The committees wish To
purchase from 10, 900 TO 100, 900 acres Of
land, and if the fertile and cheap lands of
Kentucky were brought to their notice, no
doubt they might be induced to locate
their colony of sober, industrious people
In our midst Parties having suitable
tracts OF hind are invited to call upon or
address Mr., ii. j. MOnsch, Third street,
between Market and Jefferson, who will
present the matter TO the members of the
committee upon their return.
1t will thus be seen that Tennessee rs
not only attracting the attention of immi-
grants from the Northwest, but also from
the Empire State. While we have no
word of disparsgement TO utter relative
to the fertility of the soil, intelligence
and industry of the population of our
sister State, Kentucky, we are quite sure
that the gentlemen mentioned above
win have no reason TO return to that State
n find a desirable climate, desirable soCi-
ely and desirable soil, if they viii only
remain long enough in Tennessee to be
come acquainted with the peculiar advan-

WHAT NENT1

The Albany, New York, Journal says
that the Radicals of that State were de-
feated in the recent judicial elections by
APATHY" The New York Times,
another Radical journal, says:
The thing To settle is, what is the cause
OF the apathyl Is it not general want
Of confidence in the present management
OF the party, and a dissatisfaction with
tho ''tinkering" of public questions which
goes on week after week in Congress
Again that journal says:
II ls not to be denied that the Repabli-
can party lacks a broad national policy
with regard to finance, taxation, and i'm
posts. For six months, Republican lead
ers in Congress have been at loggerhcads
on those subjects, and the country is ap-
parently no nearer a solution of any one
OF them than it was at the beginning of
the session. Yet the approaching cam
paign viii probably largely depend on
these issues, and the whole nation is anX-
iOusly waiting to have them cleared out of
tho way in order that it may comprehend
its true position and prospects. 1t is TO be
feared tina; the people will refuse to wait
much longer.
We are gratified to see that the Times
is awakening to the fact that its party has
mo broad national policy with regard to
Finance, Taxation and Imposts." 1t has
only been few days since the Times
was taking Senator Morton TO task for
attempting to get up a caucus of the Rad
icsl Congressional leaders to define the
policy Of the party on these and other
tissues. Then the Times thought that
the party might wisely differ on these
subjects and be the stronger by reason of
this difference. But it has received new
light from the New York election, andnow
it fears 'the people will refuse to wait
much longer" to have these issues cleared
out of the way by the enunciation of a
distinct and definite policy upon these
subjects The people are growing tired
of Radicalism, while the leaders of the
party are crying out, Whatnextl ..

cause of consolidation and infringe the
rights of the States:
An act to enforce the right OF citizens Of the Uni
ted States to vote in the several States OF the
Union, and for other purposes.
Section /. Citizens who are otherwise
qualified by law to vote at any election
in any State or Territory, shall be entitled
to vote at any such elections without dis
tinction of race, color or previous cOndi-
ton of servitudc; any constitution, law
or regulation of any State or Territory to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
Sec. 2. Where any local law requires
any act as a prerequisite TO voting, and
makes it the duty of any persons to fur
nish citizens with an opportunity to so
qualify, it shall be the duty of such per-
sons to give such opportunity to all citi-
zens without the distinction mentioned
in section /; and any refusal or omission
to give full force TO this section makes the
delinquent liable to the party aggrieved
in the sum of $500 damages, full costs,

ing is prevented by the wrongful act or
omission of the persons charged hy law
with the duty of affording an opportunity

as is required, and the person 50 offering
shall, if otherwise qualified, be entitled To
vote. A refusal to receive and give ef-
feet 10 such vote, on the presentation of

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER 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. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The ife-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested In
the weak and responding by an immed-
ate and most encouraging change. III
the appetite has failed, it 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 restrlng; If the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, they
are put to fight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face Of the extTsor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
sia biliouncss, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought BY Plantation
Btters, no practitioner not In league with
death and the undertaken could persist In
it. The terrible evscuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The hck willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, In which are COM
bined the elements of stomachic, an
invigorant mild laxative, = nervtns AM
an anti-biliou. specific, reign IN their
stead. !. Sold by al Druggists.
