THAT member of Congress who pro-
poses to have Massachusetts, reconstructed
because Of certain dastardly doings with
in her limits, certainly has an eye to Con-
gressional consistency and the eternal fit
ness of things generally. If the outrages
to which the honorable gentleman refers
had taken place in Georgia, Tennessee, or
any other Stately rebellious State" the
Radical press would have been immedi
ately filed with double loaded indignation
against the Ku-Klux, and Summer,
Schenck, Butler, and numerous other
'1oyal' patriots, would each have pre-
scented Reconstruction bills, while Grant
and Sherman would have felt obliged to
ask for immediate augmentation of the
army.

THE Knoxville Chronicle assures its
readers that it hears from every county in
East Tennessee Encouraging news,
showing that the Republicans are fully
aroused to the Importance of organization
and work, and almost in the next breath
it calls frantically upon its party TO organ
ize. 1t declares that "the Democracy, in
all sections of the State, are preparing to
make the judicial contest purely parts
an" and iturges the Radicals to be 'ready
with perfect organization to fight them
with their own weapons" The Chronj-
Gle or its party must be in bad way.

SPRING FAIR, 1870.
~ -

THE FIRST SPRING
Fair and Stock Sale of
the Tennessee Agricultural
and Mechanic Association
will take place on the Fair
Grounds at Nashville on the
18th, 18th, 10th, 10th and
21st days of May, 1870.
Liberal premiums.are offered
on all the leading classes of.
Live Stock, Agricultural I'm
plements and Machinery, and
also on Fruits, Flowers and
Vegetables. Competition in
vited from all the States.
Sale of Stock at public auc-
ton on each day of the Fair.
Persons holding stock of any
grade, class or kind, which
they wish to dispose of, and
persons wishing to purchase
stock of any kind, will do
well to attend these Great
Stock Sales. Large quantities
of stock of all kinds will, in
all probability, change hands.
The Grounds have been great
| ly improved, and the Direc-
tory will spare no pains to
make the Exhibition attrac-
tive and useful. No charge
will be made for exhibiting
any article or animal, nor for
bringing them into the
Grounds. The premiums for
trotting stock have been mod.
flied from Easiest" to "best.
But speed is one of the tests,
and the lovers Of fast driv,
ing will doubtless be highly
entertained. The lovers Of
the chase have rare sport in
store for them. A red and a
gray fox and two deer will be
turned loose in the Grounds
during the Fair, pursued by
a pack Of thirty hounds and
five huntsmen. Let every
body come! Trains will leave
the Chattanooga depot every
half hour during the week
Fare to Grounds, 10 cents.

THE SOUTH AND EUROPEAN IM-
MIGRATION.

THE SOUTH AND EUR OPP Fan M
MIGRATION.
Efforts have been put forth by several
of the Southern States TO induce por-
ton of the European immigrants to seek
homes in the South, but the stream con-
tinues to flow westward almost uninter-
rupted. To conteract this tendency an
Immigrant Convention, held in Charleston
on the 9th inst, adopted resolutions look
ing to a system Of Immigrant Aid Socie-
ties to offer free farms and
other inducements .zto European i'm
migrants, and the procuring OF
four steamers to run between Charleston
and some European port, to bring passen-
gers and carry return cargoes of cotton.
These enterprises, it is proposed to carry
out by joint stock companies, and CON-
mittees were appointed to solicit subscrip-
tons of land for one, and money in ($1OO
shares) for the other. Chinese labor was
vigorously opposed on the ground that il
would add another inferior race to WELD
the ballot, and so increase the political
supremacy of the present party, and tend
to keep away German, Irish and Northern
immigrants. The contract labor system
was earnestly advocated, on the ground
that white men cannot be induced to
work in rice-fields and Sea island cotton
plantations, on account of the malaria,
and that the negroes will not work there
on the plantation system, so that these
low countries along the coast must be
abandonded, and run into jungle, unless
| contract labor can be obtained.

To reduce taxation while the mainte-
nance of the Government costs a hundred
millions more than in ante-war times, is
only to postpone the evil day of payment,
and, in all probability, to add to the ulti:
mate burdens of taxation, by increasing
the public debt. There should be an in
mediate cutting down of the ordinary e1-
penses Of the Government for the army,
navy, and all departments of the civil
service, until the total annual outlay, in
GLIDING interest on the debt, shall not ex-
coed two hundred millions.

THE New York Times (RsdicaD is
forced to admit that the great opposition
to Jenckes' civil service bill arises in Con-
gress. The people at large have no OBJ
lection to see the public departnt nts
ailed with capable and honest men. But
70 ask members of Congress to pass a
measure depriving them of patronage and
Influence, is like inviting people to cut off
their own heads.

the Radicals 'fn almost every county in

SENATOR MoRToN is anxious for a caucus
of Radical Congressman, in order to unite
the party of which he is leader for the
fall elections. Recently, he denounced
the Bingham amendment as passed SIN
the interest of Rebels, as carrying exulta-
ton to every unrepentant Rebel in the
South" And this is a sample of his par
tisanship and folly.

The Wear and Tear of Business Life.

The cares and labors Of business life are apt to
tell severely upon the health and constitution of
the ardent, energetic business man, and when the
need of some sustaining agent is felt, stimulants
that cause only a temporary exhilaration, and
leave the system in a state Of partial collapse when
their first effect has passed off, are too often re-
sorted to- As certainly as fire leaves behind it a
residuum Of ashes, the use of the adulterated Ii
quors of commerce produces premature exhaus-
ton and decay. Touch them not. Tone and reg
ulate the overtaxed vital machinery with Hostel
ter's stomach Bitters. In that wholesome elixir,
the alcoholic element, which is the purest deriyable
from any source is tempered by the choicest tonic,
aperient, anti-biious, and anti-febrile vegetable
extracts and juices To strengthen, recruit solsce
and purify the system is the mission of the great
vegetable specific. When the stomach is in a
healthy state the bile flows regularly, the bowels
perform their Office properly, and the Geographic
bres of the nervous system are in perfect working
order, an enormous amount of labor can be borne
without risk or Inconvenience, and the direct eff
feet of the Bitters is TO promote this vigorous con-
dition of the functions upon which the noUrish-
ment of the body, and its power Of endurance
mainly depend The great tonic and Alternative
is, therefore, emphaticaIly recommended for its
remarkable Strengthening properties, TO all upon
whom the responsibilities of life press heavily, and
who feel like faintfng under the burthen. lively
appetite, splendid digestion, elastic spirits, and
a marvellous ability to Withstand fatigue, are
among the blessings justly ascribed to the renova-
ting operation of this palatable and powerful cor
dial and a. aspiring ard summer Alternative, there
