HALLS Journal Of Health gives the fol-
lowing good suggestion:
can erect gait gives to woman
queenly appearance, and to men an air of
manliness, integrity and fearlessness To
bend forward or downward while walking
indicates debility, depression or mental
trouble, and always aggravates itself and
promotes disease. Pads and supports are
all pernicious, and are worse than useless,
because they teach the system to rely on
them, and cannot support one part OF the
body without causing an unnatural strain
on some other part, and, to that extent,
tend to disease that part. There is always
one easily available and successful method
of acquiring an erect, manly gait, without
any material effort, or feeling of awkward
ness. Let the chin be little above hori-
zontal line, which is easily done by keep
ing the eye fixed on the top of some per-
sons hat or bonnet in front of you. The
habit of this erect carriage may be facilita-
ted by accustoming yourself, when at home,
in the garden, or other places, to walk with
the hands behind, held in one another and
the head thrown up, as is done in smoking
cigar or singing tune"

THE STORY NEUFE

Some young ladies and gentlemen who
weretaking advantage of the fine sleighing
in the interior of this State not long since,
in attending a donation, surprise or we'd
ding party, or something of the kind, were
obliged to sit three on a seat. One of the
seats contained two gentlemen and one
lady. The gentlemen, of course, would
not allow the lady 10 take an exposed seat,
she, therefore, sat in the middle. AS the
night was extremely cold, gentleman No.
! quietly passed his hand "a remarkably
small hand, by the way,) into the lady's
muff. As the muff was not very capaci-
Gus, the lady quietly removed one of her
hands from the same In few moments
she felt movement on the other side,
and found gentleman No. 2, attempting
to pass his hand into the muff on the
other side. She then quietly drew her
hand from the muff and allowed him to
90 so. What took place in the muff after
ward she is unable 30 say. But each of
the gentlemen privately reported to q
small circle of friends how warmly tie
lady had returned the pressure of hishand
in the maff, while the lady as privately
reported TO her friends the magnificent
sell she had made Of both gentlemen.

THE TENNESSEE SITUATION

1
The Washington correspondent of the
Louisville Courier Journal telegraphs,
March Is, as follows:
The question of reconstructing Tennes
see was again before the Reconstruction
Committee to-day, and Conservatives
were given a hearing. The Speaker of
the House of the Tennessee Legislature
| appeared and made a statement in gen
| eral denial of the evidence submitted by
the colored delegation. He admitted that
in some portions of the State there were
some disorders arising out of political and
| other causes, but these were terribly eX-
aggeIated for political effect. On the
whole he maintained that affairs were
| peaceful throughout the State, and that
the people, so far from getting up an in
suTection, are attending more than ever
to their business interests. Nothing could
delay the growing prosperity of the State
but this agitation of an intention to reyo-
lutionize the loyal government by
an act of Congress. The Speaker was
willing that the committee should receive
the sworn testimony of every Circuit
Judge in the State as to the condition of
affairs in their respective jurisdictions.
These judges were appointed by Gov.
BrownlOw, and could not therefore be &C
cused of being representatives of the
State administration. 1t is very probable
that the Tennessee officials will at once
! call upon these judges for their testimony
as it is believed that only such mass Of
evidence will counteract the efforts of
those who are seeking to reconstruct the
State Dir. Thomas was put through
such a severe examination by Gen. Butler
that the other members of the committee
felt bound to interpose and beg that the
witness might not be insulted while in at
tendance on the committee. The COM
mittee took novote on framing bill, and
will not do so until further evidence is
heard.
'Gov. Senter's request for troops was
laid before the President to-day, and it
must be confessed that it has had ten
dency TO strengthen the reconstructionists
of the State 1t is stated that Gov. Sen
ter makes the request that he may have
the direction of any Federal troops that
may be sent into the State. o. course
this request, if it has been made, viii be
promptly denied. If the Senate shows a
Radical tendency by voting down the
Bingham amendment, it is pretty evident
that the Reconstruction Committee viii
report bill interfering with Tennessee.
Conservative Republicans, however, de-
clared confidently to-day that Butler
and his bill would be repudiated by the
House. 1t is said that the President de-
cided to-day to send a special message to
Congress on Tennessee affairs"

REC0xSTRUCEEEG TENNESSEE.
There are some Radical papers al the
North which speak ont boldly in denunci-
alton of the efforts Of the Radicals 70 get
Congress to subYert the government Of
this State. Among these journals is The
New York San, which says:A &
ssA scheme appears TO be preparing in
Washington 90 abolish the State govern
ment of Tennessee, and to make a new
one under the authority of Congress. The
reason is that the present authorities in
that State do not entertain the same views
Of politics as the gentlemen in Washing
ton. This is bad and dangerous pro-
ject, and we hope Congress will vote Il
down as soon as it is introduced.
t'There are outrages in Tennessee, nc
doubt; and if the local authorities cannot
stop them, it is the duty of the President
to send troops there when he is required
to DO so in the lawful manner. But Con-
gress has no more power to annul the
Constitution of Tennessee and the govern
ment existing under it, than to annul the
Constitution and government of New
York II is claimed that the thing car
be done under the provisions which
guarantees to each Statega republican form
of government; but viii any one pretend
that the Government of Tennessee is no
now republican?
''The safe way is to keep within thu
limits of the Constitution. States con
,,,,a,od x,-J,ila s,oaLinr war acroinct the
nation are subject to such conditions al
Congress may impose. But States that
are regularly in the Union cannot be deal
with arbitrarily at the pleasure of dissatis
fed politicians and wild theorists"

a CAPITAL story is related concerning
Jim Lane. lie had been elected 10 &
series Of subordinate offices, and was
finally sent TO Congress. Defeated in q
reelection, he asplred TO a seat in thC
Legislature; but so slight had become his
hold ON popular favor that he was de
feated even for this position. As a last
resort, to recover his waning popularity,
he Joined the Methodist church; and
when it was given out, on Sunday, that
in the interval between the services he
would be dipped in neighboring creek,
a large crowd assembled on its banks to
witness the ceremony. The preacher
wadcd in with the neophyte and plunged
him under the flood. AS he came to the
surface, an old farmer in the crowd
turned TO his son and exclaimed: 'John,
when you water the horses tomorrow
morning in the creek, be sure and take
them in above where old l. was
dipped"

ANOTHER MOVE TOWARDS CEN
TRAEIZATEON.

Mr.. Hoar, a Massachusetts Representa-
tive in Congress, has introduced bill in
the House, providing for Federal sys-
ten of Education; and the bill has been
referred to the Committee on Education
and Labor. L provides for the appoint
ment, by the President of three State
snperintondents for each State, who shall
have control of the educational interest OF
the State. The State is 10 be divided into
as many divisions as it has representa-
tfves: each division is to have division
INSPECTOR, and each division is to be diyid-
ed into school districts. No books arc to
be used or instruction given calculated 20
favor any religious sect; and the expense
is to be borne by the people themselves;
a district tax being laid for educational
purposes.
Thus it is, remarks the Columbus In
ouirer, that the coils of 'the anaconda, -
that stranglel the South, are now heing
tightened round every State in the Union.
The right to guarantee republican form
of government" to the States is to be
made the warrant for taking from them,
and from their people, their systems Of
education. Congress will, by such meas
ures. reduce the States to the dignity
and powers of counties, and the checks
and balances that constituted the beauty
and harmony Of our old system Of gov
eminent will be swept away.

TIE COLORED PRESENTuENF

TRE COLOFsED PRESENTHENE'
We publish this morning the present
mcnt Of committee of negroes against
the people of Tennessee, submitted to the
Reconstruction Committee of the House
of Representatives at Washington. We
know none of the signers of the docu
Inent, except Randall Brown, who figured
extensively for a while mere as Radical
politician. We learn that the Rev
Moses Johnston has been preaching about
here for few months past. lie is 8
colOred carpet-bagger. The dOcument. is
a tissue of falsehoods, totally unsustained
by facts and unwarranted by Jdmd
clanlosa. We think Horace Maynard
must have written the document. He
understands Latin and does not know any
better than to put it in the mouth of his
negro committee. Their reference TO
Butterfeld County is not understood
There is no such county in the State, and
meme with similar name. Such docu-
ments are rather calculated to encourage
Ku-Klux outrages than otherwise. They
areso basely false and so evidently intend
ed for the sole purpose Of again placing
the State of Tennessee and her municipal
corporations in The hands Of the party
who have so terribly leeced, US thatit nat
uraHy excites the Indignation of every
honest man OF every political faith;
aud the better portions of the
community, who have been lOudest in
their denunciations of Ku-Klux, viii cease
their abuse of them and turn it upon the
political intriguers whose conduct affords
the pretext for such organizations.

Diseases that progress rapidly to a crisis are no
the only ones to be dreaded Canker or dry rot

tainly; and in like manner chronic debility, al
though it does not kill with the swiftness of yellow
fevers Is sarsto sap the springs of life eventually
as any acute disease if not checked by invgorating
medication There is something inexpressively
touching in the spectacle of premature decay
Languor, paloT, emaciation, depression of spir-
its, and distaste for exertion, are its ordinary
symptoms, and they should be promptly met by
tonic treatment The best invigorant and exhila-
rant that can be administered in of this kind
is Hoste.ter's Stomach Bitters. The stimulating
principle OF the preparation rouses the dormant
energies of the system, and the strengthening and
regulating properties give permanent and health
ful Impulse to the vital forces thus brought into
play The falling appetite is re-awakened, the
process Of digestion and assimilation is quick
enea the quality Of the blood is improved, the Sc
cretions become more natural, and every organ
tnat contributes to the nourishment OF the body
nndergoes sanitary change. BY these means the
repair OF the physical structure is effected and its
heatn and Vigor restored. In no class Of diseases
has the benefcent operation of the Bitters been
mere marked and striking than in those character
lzed by general debility and nervous prostration.
Ladies affected with these ailments find in this
safest and surest means of relief. It is strong to
restore and powerless to injure- Such is the uni

THOSE who charge that the August
election was carried byregistration frauds,
seem to forget the extent to which the
registrars appointed by Gov. Brownlow
issued certificates. According TO the re-
turns in the Office of the Secretary of
State, Brownlow's registrars hadregistered
previous to March /, 1869, in seventy
counties, III, 449 persons as legal voters.
Stokes vote in the entire State was kss
than half this number, so that if persons
were Illegally registered by the officers
appointed 10y Gov. Senter, their votes Gid
not affect the result Of the election.

THE Radicals have all The Judges of the
Courts and Attorneys General, and all the
Sheriffs in the State, with comparatively
few exceptions, just as they had when
Brownlow was Governor. Are these Off
cials TO be held blameless for the outrages
and crimes of which the negroes and
other Radicals complain 70 Congress
The administration of the law and JUS
tice is not obsuucted in this State. The
Sheriff of any county in this State can
execute any process that may be placed
in his hands. If crime stalks abroad
throughout the State, both night and day,
and there is no security for life or prop
erty, as the white and black Radicals
charge in their appeals to Congress, why
do not these officers of the law make an
attempt to have the criminals arrested

ground that if Grant had been put in at

terminated at the South year before it
