THE SUPREME BENCH-JUDGE
NICHOLSON.

To the People of Tennessee:
The undersigned members of he bar at
Columbia, deeply sensible of the impor-
lance of securing for the Supreme Bench
the best talent of the State, avail them
selves of this method of recommending
for that position their fellow-citizen and
associate, JUDGE A. o. p. NICHOLSON.
Judge Nicholson has long been known
to the people of Tennessee as one Of
their most talented and worthy citizens;
but to his more immediate neighbOrs and
the bar with whom he has practiced most
of his professional life, he is better
known in his character as O lawyer.
1t is from such advantages that we feel
warranted, therefore, in volunteering a
word in his behalf, and in placing his
name before the people of the State as a
suitable person to fill one of the positions
on the supreme bench, regarding 1t as a
position not to be sought nor declined,
except in obedience to the manifestations
of the popular will.
The supreme bench has been at all
times position of high importance, but
it is especially so at the present; and must
| be looked to in the future more than ever,
as the surest conservatOr of free govern
ment and the safeguard of public and
domestic order.
Thus impressed, and not intending in
any sense to disparage the qualifications
of others, we respectfully recommend
| Judge Nicholson to the favorable consid
Grafton of the people of Tennessee fol
the position in question, he having
Welded his consent in response to The
solicitation of ourselves and numerous
friends throughout the State, to the an
nouncement of his name as candidate
for the Supreme Bench from the middle
division of Tennessee.

Jugde Whitworth, j o Griffith and

The roll being called, the meeting pro-
ceeded to business. The Special Commit
tee appointed for the purpose reported the
following plan of Organization, and sub
mitted the subjoined report:
The special committee appointed at the
last meeting of the Commissioners to con-
slider and report,
l. A plan of organization;
2. A system of common schools for the
county, respectfully:
That upon reflection, and after very
free and satisfactory conference, the COM
mittee unanimously agreed that it was not
desirable to attempt to prescribe or agree
upon a system by which the common
schools of the county are to be conducted,
until some plan of organization and CO.
operation of the Commissioners of the va
rious districts in the county shall first be
agreed upon and perfected.
The propriety of this course seems so
apparent that no arguments are adduced to
sustain it.
The committee have prepared, and sub
NIT herewith plan of organization, the
approval and adoption of which is respect
fully recommended.
The committee beg to suggest that no
plan of organization should be attempted,
without the concurrence and approval of
the County Court.
The importance of harmony and concert
of action between the County Court and
the organization proposed, cannot, in the
opinion Of the committee, be over esti-
mated
The committee therefore recommend:
l. That the proposed Association shall
be regarded as formed and in existence,
and the articles of Association valid and
binding whenever the County Court shall
approve and ratify the same.
=. That his Honor the County Judge be
requested to call special meeting of the
County Court at as early day as practical
BILE to act upon this subject.
3. That special committee of three be
appointed to present the proceedings of
this meeting to the County Court, and re-
quest that it certify aud approve the same.

thirty feet vide. The first story has an iron front,
consisting Of two round and ;wo square Corin-

the Phoenix Iron Works OF this city. These
columns have not yet received their fnal coat OF
paint, which will be fine stone color. The re-

In ordinary use. The whole front Is
topped with parapet the centre OF which Is

the grain by the practical test which an unpreJu-
diced public applies to all things. There are but
few preparations Of medicine which have with.
stood the impartial judgment Of the people for
any length OF time. One OF the few which we
have now In mind, and which has been long
time familiar to nearly every household in the
land, Is the celebrated H0STETTER'S STOMACH
BITTERS. Their almost universal sale and use,
and their emphatic endorsement from all portions
OF the country, compel the admission that they
must be specific for the ailments for which they
are recommended. Letters before US attest their
efficacy IN diseases OF the throat, bowels and
liver. In that truly terrible complaint, dyspepsia
they are regarded as sure cure. In Pittsburgh,
where these Bltters are manufactured, their sale
for home use is immense. This fact alone speaks

ORBINAT1oN.-Rev Peter Gowan, who mas
been for some time past of1ciating at the Zion
Presbyterian Church in Calhoun street, was last
night regularly ordained as pastor OF that congre'
cation. This church was built before the war Tor
the use Of the colored Presbyterians, and under
the charge OF Rev. J. L. Glrardeau the congrega-
tion increased and prospered. Since the wal, ,clr'
cums,ances have not been favorable to the growth
of colored congregations under white ministers,
hnt Mr.. Gowan has devoted himself to this work
with q truly missionary spirit, and 1t is to be
boned that he will be the means Of doing much
good among those for whom he labors.
