disordered and corrupted.
Such is the three-fold operation of Hostel
ters Stomach Bitters, and hence the great
superiority of that standard vegetable restora-
tive over all medicines that are merely tonics
and nothing else The effect of the ordinary
astringent tinctures and extracts upon the
bowels is disastrous, and upon the deprayed
blood or bile they produce no beneficial effects
whatever. In dyspepsia and liver complaint
all the fluids and humors of the body are more
or less infected, and the bowels are often badly
constipated. An unmodi6ed astringent-
quinine for instance does infinitely more
harm than good in such cases. In Hostetter's
Bitters, on the other hand. the stimulating
and tonic elements are qualified with aperients
and antiseptic ingredients. The finest laxa-
tives and blood depurents in the vegetable
kingdom are intermixed with those of purely
invigorating nature, and under the operation
of this admirable combination, the three i'm
pOrtant processes of invigoration, regulation
and publication go on together. The rapidity
with which the disordered organization returns
to its natural condition, under course of the
Bitters, is due to this cause. Every disturbed
function of the body is favorably affected by
the various properties of this comprehensive
and well-balanced preparation. As a general
rule the bowels are more subject 70 irregular
tiles and the fluids more liable TO become
vitiated in spring and summer than in winter.
and hence the Bitters are especially valuable
as a spring and summer Alternative, corrective
and invigorant. At all seasons where the
seeds Of intermittent fevers infect the air. this
healthful vegetable elixir should be taken as
protective medicine. 74-eod

A CARD FROM COL. l.. BEECH.
He withdraws from the Canvass
. for Mayor


for Mayor.
We publish the following card from Mr..
Beech with pleasure. As a Conservative
and a citizen he lays aside personal cOnsid-
erations for the general good. He with
draws from the canvass for Mayor IN favor
of Mr.. Morris. The card is manly In its
tone and will be read with interest:
To the Voters of Nashville: O
1t is of course well known to you all that
have for some time been a candidate for
Mayor of the city of Nashville. In fact was
the first to announce myself for that office
and at time when no one thought that
Mr. Morris, the present incumbent, would
be candidate. During the time Ofnly brief
canvass have received such assurances Of
esteem and public and private confidence
from my fellow citizens as fill me with gra-
titude and pride. Since my announcement,
bright as my prospects may be, changes
have taken place in the canvass OF a chRrac-
aeter not to be overlooked. In the circum-
stances now presented, Ifeel tiny duty and
the duty of every good citizen to fOregO PER-
sonal considerations for the public good.
In Yesterdays papers l saw the announce
ment of A. E. Alden, as candidate for
Mayor. My determination was at once
taken. Mr.. Alden, the former Radical
Mayor. regard as in q msasure RESPONSE
BILE, by his previous reckless sdministra-
ton, for our financial distress, and almost
irretrievable bankruptcy. His reelection
at this time would be most ruinOus. OF
wishing to leopard the best interests of the
city, by in the least contributing to SO de-
plorable result, L as true Conservative
and good citizen, hereby withdraw from
the canvass. Thanking my friends for the
many exhibitions of esteem they have
shown me since have been candidate,
have but one other favor to ask at their
hands in this connection, and that IS, that
they cast their votes tomorrow for 4 }.
Morris Respectfully, L. +. BEECH.

The Peace Question In Germany
Various Views
NEW YORK, Sept. 22.-Special 10 Her
ald--Our correspondent at Berlin states
that the Republicans of Germany con.
tinue the agitation against the annexation
of Alsace and Lorraine with increasing
determination in all their journals and all
public gatherings. 9= 3D., .-g I7.-r.
In the executive and military circles of
Germany, the success of the Prussian arms
has led them to demand, without a reflece
ton of the consequences, that Alsace and
Lorraine, Metz, Toul and Verdun be
given up by the French and annexed to
Germany. They also urge, with equal
disregard to diplomatic consequences, the
Prussian occupation of Luxemhurg, the
giving of the French Flanders to Belgium,
Savoy to Switzerland, and Nice and Cor
siCa to Italy. They will not submit in
any way to the interference of neutrals.
Another party oppose this wholesale
dismemberment of France, bat ask that
sufficient guarantees be given Germany
against future aggressions of France.
They indicate that guarantees should take
the shape of the Incorporation of Alsace
and Lorraine and the destruction of the
forts of Metz and Strasbourg.
RumOrs of the Surrender OF Stras-
bOurg.
MENDBIHEM, Sept. 22.-RumOrs of
the capture of StrasbOurg are afloat but
lack official confirmation. French &C
counts state that an assault was made on
the breaches of the besiegers on the 18th
but was repulsed with great loss. There
was fighting on the 18th and 18th but it
is believed to be in consequence of sorties
made by the garrison,

porting the Republican party as the friends

Hon. W. H Wisener appeared upon the
stand amidst great applause, and accepted
the nomination. He returned his sincere
thanks for the honor conferred. True, he
said, it looked like forlorn hope, but he
never shrunk from duty when re-
quired at his hands. The time till
the election was short. and II
was incumbent upon every one to give
their aid. He desired each one to 90 home
and go earnestly to work, and he desired
candidates nominated for the Legislature
and for Congress, and elected If they could
be, The Constitution passed last winter,
under which We were living now, was adop-
ted against his wishes and his efforts. The
convention said they would enfranchise
everybody; instead of doing that they had
so, fixed it that those could vote who paid
10 do so. A poll tax qualification had been
provided. There was secession in the
new Constitution; he was opposed to all
sorts of secession, and was in favor of paw
ing the last dollar of the public debt of the
State. He was In favor of executing the
laws, and, if he should be elected, he would
have them executed Ii the State Legisla-
ture failed to execute them he would call
on Uncle Sam, and try the virtue Of his
power.
He knew that there were Ku-Klux organi-
cations in the State, and that white men
and oOlored men have been abused for
their political opinions. They had to be
put down. He alluded to other prominent
features that would present themselves in
the canvass, and closed his remarks.
Hon. Horace Maynard was called upon
and responded at length. He alluded to
the striking contrast presented by the pro
ceedings of this convention and the Demo-
cratic one recently held in this hall. He
alluded to the conservatives" as they
styled themselves. Conservatism was a
name that meant very little. By some
strange hallucinstion they had imagined
that something between Radicals and
Democrats was something wonderfully re-
spectacle. He had before him the pro-
caedings of that meeting, but he looked in
vain for the Conservatives. He saw neither
the Coopers, the Ewings, the Gauts, or
others claimed as Conservatives, among
the names. The names he saw
were rebel names, fit for the roster of
Hoods army. The resolutions he referred
TO and denounced as avOwing secession
as clearly as they did in 1861. Why talk
about secession. State sovereignty, and
the right of revolution now? What would
we think of the gallant young bridegroom
who, on the way from the hymsnial altar,
would take occasion to tell his bride that
in case she departed from her duties as a
wife he would have the right to apply for
divorce? This right of revolution was an
old acquaintance, and had appeared in
many guises. He referred to the several
resolutions of the Democratic Convention
and denounced them in detail, and opposed
them all as at variance with the OOnstitu-
ton and the best interests of the country
He continued his speech at some length,
after the conclusion of which and some
other remarks, the Convention adjourned.

asking Congress TO give effect TO the

to pay loyal Southeners for property
taken during the war and for services
rendered prior to the war. A plan for
