We are panied to chronicle this morning
the death of our eminent fellow-citizen,
Rev. ], B. Ferguson, who died at his resi-
dence yesterday morning, three miles from
the city, after lingering disease. Some
years ago, when Mr.. Ferguson was pastor
of the Christian Church, he enjoyed a rep
utation for pulpit oratory second to no man
in the South. He commenced life as
printers boy, and was emphatically self
made man, having by studious attention,
while employed at the printing business,
fitted himself for the ministry. He was
man of popular manners, warm and open
hearted in his nature, and greatly esteemed
by large circle of friends.

BEWARE of cheap Hair Oils-they are
mostly composed of common oils whose
rancidity is for the time disguised by pow
erful perfumes. The best Hair Dressing
is La Creole Hair Restorer, which contains
no grease and can never become ill-smell-
ing. 1t will restore the color of gray hair
and give renewed life to diseased hair bulbs.
1t is universal favorite everywhere. 1t

cessful. So far as / am individually con-
cerned, | care nothing about these COM
plants; but so far as Mr.. Maynard Is
concerned, they do him great injustice.
He has had as many bills passed for the
benefit of his constituents, and been as
Woodworking Il member. a. any III Con
gress and there are few men here who
have more influence with the Administ.a-
ton, or are more highly esteemed 10y his
fellowmembers than is Maynard.
Beside the Second Congressional District
of Tennessee, there are about two hundred
and forty other Districts represented here
and for about all, or nearly all of these
legislation is asked, especially for the bene-
fit of the loyal people in all the Districts
of the South.
Those who complain of Maynard-and
| may add of all the Representatives from
Tennessee, for similar complaints are made
against all of them-seem to forget this.
Maynard has not had-no man living
could have had--all done 10y Congress
which has been asked of him, but he has
accomplished as much for his constituents
rs any one member in Congress has done.
The number of claims of East Tonnes
seeans pending before the committees of
Congress is so large, that it would require
that Congress devote itself to them eXclu-
sively for months before they could all be
passed upon and decided
