An English .hOldef OF the D0hCS OF
the State writes to US: II bought
bonds of this State some twenty years
ago; to their payment was pledged the
liability of the State bank, the security
ofsonne trust company, and the s. faith
and honor" of the State OF Tennessee.
Where is the bank9 Where is the trust
company? For my part, / looked
only for my safety when intrusring
my money to distant keeping, to the
"faith and honor" of large body of
selEgOverning American freeman en-
tering into q deliberate solemn pledge
to 8 foreigner as q condition OF his
aiding in the development of their
public works and civil Institutions.
Tennessee, then a small promising so
ciety, is now nearly nation, and the
first proof it gives of its growth and
individuality Is to break its :. faith and
honor" and TO commit the meanest of
the minor vices, the crime of the small
swindler, and obtain and retain money
nnder false pretenses."
What will be the measure of our
correspondents language, who wrote
as above before hearing of the bill
now pending In the Legislature, when
/ ne ledTDS tidt SUCH u sCduudlOuo iLtttS-

than likely, however, that the real in
tent OF the bill Is to depress the price
of Tennessee bonds In tbs market,
where they are a speculative security,
for the purposes OF confederates here
and fri the Legislature. When they
shall have touched bottom" on the
Stock Exchange, then another bill,
providing for the interest, may be In
troduced and passed, which OF course

PHILADELPHIA, Pa June %, 1867.
1T HELMRoLD, Druigglst-DEAR SIR: have
been sufferer for upwards of twenty years VIII
gravel, bladder and kidney affections during which
time have used various medicinal preparations
and been under the treatment of the most eminent
physicians, experiencing but little relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adj
vertised, consulted my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Buchu.
did this because had used all kinds of adver
tised remedies and had found them worthless, and
some quite injurious; in fact, despaired of ever
getting well, and determined to use no remedies
hereafter unless knew of the ingredients. 1t was
this that prompted me to use your remedy. As You
advertised that it was composed of buchu, cubebs
and juniper berries, it occurred to me and my phys
ieian an excellent combination; and with his ad
vice, after an examination of the article and con.
sulting again with the druggist, concluded to try
it. j commenced to use it about eight months ago
at which time was confined to my room.
From the first bottle was astonished at the ben
eicial effect, and after using it three weeks was
able to walk out. felt much like writing to you a
full statement of my case at the time, but thought
my improvement might only be temporary, and
therefore concluded to defer, and see il it would
effect perfect cure, knowing then 1t would be OF
greater value to you and more satisfactory to me.
am now able to report that q cure is effected
after using the remedy for five months
have not used any now for three months, and
feel as well in all respects as | ever did
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleasant taste
and odor nice tonic and invgorator of the system
j do not mean to be without 1t whenever occasion
may require its use in such affections.

of Buchu-the powdered leaves, tncture fluid eN-

Ipropose to give evidence that this Remedy is
not patent medicine. The objection which gener-
ally lies against all discoveries and inventions in
medicine Is publicity" If somebody should dis
remedy to prolong life, or an infallible cure
for cholera consumption, what a monster would
he be to withhold his knowledgel We have yet to
learn from what chapter or verse in Scripture to
quote shat may not heal others of their fellow men
Of any disease"
Nor havs we asked Pickwicks, affected prudes,
or, In short, men who are possessed Of every kind
of sense but common sense, and all kinds of opin-
ions but their own. The Buehu is good thing. 1t
has hundreds of thousands of living witnesses to
attest its virtues and commend it. 1t is the preju.
dice of bigots and the envy of 'Quacks."

Plank Stable Floors for Horses.

A CORRESPONDENT of the Cincinnati
Gazette writes in regard to horses standing
on bare plank floors as follows
/ have tried it for fifteen years, and
never Uttered stall yet, nor have ever
had horse or mule to get lame by being
so treated. | have at times left stable
floors without plank, and afterwards
planked them, for the reason that horses
do better on plank floors, and the stables
are more easily cleaned. They do not
wear In holes or ever get wet.
| got the idea from paper many years
ago, which stated that in Holland Il think
they use stone floors for their stables, and
never litter them, and they have sounder
horses than in any other country. Now,
if were going to build stable floor,
would get two by four.inch oak scantling,
