being said about the Governor or his policy.
Mr. Crenshaw said he only wished to say
as friend Of Governor Walker that he was
pretty sure he would come cut all right.
Mr.. Hughes rejoined that for his part he
didn't care whether he did or not.
The resolution offered by Mr.. Hughes was
then adopted, together with the following Of
fered by Mr.. Franklin Stearns:
"Rcsolued, That committee Of three, to
consist of the chairmcn Of the Republican
committee, be appointed to select the persons
to form the conference and that each chair
man designate one third of the one hundred
and thirty eight members of the conference,
and that the twelve remaining be selected at
large, jointly, by the committee.
The chairmen are Gilmer. General Wick
ham, and Congressman Porter.
On motion of Mr.. Maddox the meeting
adjourned size de, but before the members
dispersed Mr.. Stearns suggested some re-
striction as to the publication Of the proceed
ings.
Ny Lewis said sOh, no; report aos}l
get out and it is much better to have true
statement in the Republican papers than have
it caricatured, as it would otherwise be, in
the Democratic papers"
It is proper to add that it was stated by
persons taking part in the meeting that Con
gressmen Gibson, Ridgway, and Mines would
have nothing to do with the conference, but
that Messrs. Mckenzie and Booker. who were
not present, had signed the call and endors
ed the objects.

both certain and psrcspsble .....
DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND BLADDER.
Persons unacquanted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannot estimate the im
portance of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kidneys is
as important, nay, even more SO, than regularity
of the bowels The Kidneys remove from the
Blood those effete matters, which if permitted to
remain would speedily destroy lfe total sss-
pension of the urinary discharges will occasion
death from thirty six to forty EIGHT hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities
OF the time, or when there is disposition to
Urilate more frequently than natural, or when
the Urine is high colored or scalding with weak
ness in the small of the back, it should not be
trifed with or delayed, but Koskoo should be ia
ken at once to remedy the difficulty, before
lesion of the organs takes place. Most of the
diseases of the Bladder originate from those Of
the Kidneys, the Urine being imperfectly scores
ted in the Kidneys, prove irritating to the Bad-
der and Urinary passages. When we recollect
that medicine never reaches the Kidneys except
trough the genel al circulation of the Blood, we
see how necessary it is to keep the Fountain Of
Life Pure.

the Constitution Of the United States, as well
as the State Constitution of which It forms
part, aud consequently will be declared null
and void, SO soon as decision by the Courts
can be arrived at. The debtor therefore who
trusts to this method Of relief will manifestly
lean upon broken reed The remedy pro-
posed Tor preventing the sacrifice Of real es-
tate, is effective however, and should be made
TO apply to personal property as well.
The Governor recommends that the Land
scrip donated the State for educational pur-
poses, amounting to 800 900 acres, be divided
between some existing College to be selected
by the General Assembly, aud High School
or College to be hereafter organized for the
repusnant such a suggestion to many, there
is manifestly much force in theargumentth that
as the colored race are now invested with
political rights cc-equal with the whites, it is
10 the interest Of whites as we'll as blacks,
that they shall be placed, so far as education
can do it, ia condition to discharge intelli-
gently and understandngly the duties thus
deyolved upon them, and though We cannot
subscribe to the dogma SO authoritatively and
sophormorcaliy announced by the Executive
Of the State, that if the death knell to
American liberty is ever sounded. ignorance
will pull the bell cord" We yield our hearty
assent to his concluding recommendation, that
the schools for aehites and biachs shall be
kept separate and distinct, principle de-
mandcd alike by the interests Of the white
and colored races.
We bring our somewhat extended notice of
the Message to close, with the remark that
it is by far the most important and judicious
State paper which has yet onanated from our
Executive, and though we dissent from many
of his views and deductions, yet in the main
we commend the paper as affording evidence
Of sincere desire to advance the interest of
the State, and promote the prosperity Of the
people over whose destinics he has been called
to preside Meas.

its concomitant evils of mental depression, con-
fused ideas. softenng of the brain, insanity, and
complete breaking down of the general health.
nervous systems, and, unfortunately, tobacco,
alcohol late hours, over work, (mental and phys
ical), are causing diseases of the nervous system
to increase at fearful ratio.
The symptoms to which diseases Of the nsr-
vous system give rise, may be stated as follows
dull heavy feeling in the head, sometimes more
less severe pain or headache; Periodical Head
ache, Dizziness, Noises or Ringing in the Head;
Confusion of Ideas; Temporary Loss of Memo-
ry; Detection of Spirits; Starting during Sleep;
Bad Dreams Hesitation in Answering Questions

people talk of bad blood, as the cause of many
diseases and like many popular opinions this Of
bad blood if founded in truth. To say nothing
of those humors that are hereditary, we can east
ly see how the Blood may become bad from i'm.
perfect Digestion or failure of execretion and
how this may influence the process of Nutrition,
and thus influence all the functional activities Of
the body.
The symptoms of bad blood are usually quite
plain-bad Digestion-causes imperfect nutri-
ton, and consequently the circulation is feeble,
the soft tissues lose their tone and elasticity and
the tongue becomes pale, broad, and frequently
covered with pasty, white coat. This condi-
ton soon shows itself in rouyhness of the skin,
then in ERUpTIvE and LUCRATIVE diseases,
and when long continued, results in serious le-
sions Of the Brain Liver, Lungs, or urinary up
paratus. Much very much, suffering is caused
