thousand gallons, and these are used in the manu-
facture of Solid and Fluid Extracts.
In the department for Pills and Granules every
recent improvement is adopted besides the vari-
Gus devices for saving labor and waste of mate
rial which are the results of long and practical
experience in the manipulation OF the more dell
cate combinations OF patent drugs ana the necesr
sity of accurate and strictly correct exhibition OF
quantities required i'll the minutest attenuatlons.
The advantages enjoyed by the Messrs. Illden,
of q local character, are worthy OF mention, ana
explain how they have attained such a reputation
for the efficiency and medicinal value of their
preparations.
All the herbs, barks and roots of indigenous
growth are gathered by those who have expert
ence, and each and every article is brought into
the Laboratory at the season when 1t contains
most of medicinal value. A large amount OF
these materials are gathered by the farmers and
Others over q large section OF country around the
Laboratory; and, in addition to such supplies.
the Messrs. Tilden have under cultivation some
forty acres near their premises.
These advantages, acquired by a long expert
ence, and patient well as persistent labor, at
ford the facilities which are OF greatest import
ance in this business, and cannot be enjoyed eX-
cept by those similarly situated; and giving at
tention, more or less, to the cultivation of in
digenous medicinal products, so as to get all the
benefits of improved culture
lin this connection, it is only doing Justice to
speak of Mr.. II. A. Tilden's various and import
ant contributions to medical science. We refer
more especially to his elaborate report to the
Pharmaceutical Society upon the cultivation of
narcotic plants, in which he carefully illustrates
how fully the activ properties can be developed,
at will, by scientific culture.
The profession are hardly aware ofthe labor re-
quired to reach the developments and improve
ments which have been made in the long expert
ence of this establishment. Besides the general
business, they issue a valuable Journal OF Mate
ria Medica from their extensive printing depart
ment, and have recently issued their Supplement
to Materia Medica, which is a valuable addition
to the library of every physician, aud useful as a
reference book for druggists.

more or less complete, have been pub

population in the last decade Of years
of 7,094,859. The States of Maine, New
Hampshire and Virginia, and the Terri
tory Of New Mexico, have lost in popu-

gained little, while the Western show a
large, and the Southern States a moder-
ate increase.

to troops engaged. The wounded were
coming in in large numbers. The
losses are heavy. The official reports of
tbe Commune claim that the Versailles
forces were repulsed Tuesday evening in
an attack on the southern forts, and
that their loss was heavy, while that of
the Communists was very light. Tho
Commune believe that the attack was
intended to make an attempt to carry
Maillot gate by surprise. A rumor
comes from Vauguard's quarters in the

where they were entrenched, and that
the commandment of the Fort d'1ssy has
been shot by his own men.

IFS Platform.


The following is the platform present.
ed by the Democratic State Convention
which assembled in Frankfort May 3rd.
1t was adopted without dissenting
voice. See comment elsewhere:
1. That wise craftsmanship and true
patriotism require universal and unquali-
fed amnesty.
2. That the industries Of the country
demand the abolition of the present
mode of raising the revenue, by which
portions of the republic are oppressed
and robbed to enrich monopolies and
certain sections, and the speedy adoption
ofa system by which the burdens of tax
alton viii be equally and justly distribu-
ted, and the taxes actually paid may
reach the treasury.
3. That the preservation of liberty is
possible only through the States; and we
protest against every act by which States
are deprived of their just and constitu-
tional powers, and State tribunals ousted
of their proper and necessary jurisdiction;
and we are ready to join in all lawful
and just measures to reverse the tyranni-

is sought to strip the States of all rights,
and concentrate all the powers of gov
ernment in a great centralized des-
potism.
f. We indorse the address recently is i
sued by the democratic members of Con
gress, and unite in condemning all acs
by which unconstitutional and despone
powers are conferred upon the President,
By which, with the use of the army and
navy, the suspension of the writ of
habeas corpus, the power to declare mar
tial law, call out the militia, and invade
the States without the request of their
Executive or Legislatures, and other un
defined means, he can destroy the free
dom of elections, the independence of and
the sovereignty of the States.
5. Kentucky is unalterably opposed TO
every form of lawlessness, whether com
nitted under the cover of unconstitution-
Al enactments or organized bands; and
We pledge ourselves, as occasion may
lrise, to use every legal means to pre-
7ent the one, and to have enacted such
avs as experience may demonstrate to
be necessary to put down and punish the

protection of life, liberty, aud property

ure, and administered by our own

Your Committee disapproye of the re-
strictiou contained in the foregoing pro
position, whereby the Chancellor is not
allowed to come belosc the minimum
therein fixed, whilst he is left at liberty
TO transcend it, as unfair, unjust and un-
equal to its stockholders. Ii the mini
mum value of the road is to be referred
to the sound discretion and practical
judgment of the court (to which your
committee urges no otjection) it should
be done in the opinion of the Committee,
without any limitation or restriction
whatever.
Whenever a minimum valuation shall
be agreed upon, or fixed by the Chan
cellor, the stock holders who have expend
ed their money IN the construction of the
road, and must lose it unless they become
the purchasers, ought to be preferred to
all others in buying their own property.
To this end, fair aud reasonable time
should be allowed them to comply with
the termsof sale as fixed by the court.
This favor is reasonably conceded to the
equitable owner of property on which a
mortgage Is ordered to be foreciosed. =
Asto the best means to be adopted to
enable the stock holders to purchase the
road, provided reasonable and satisfac
tory valuation is placed upon it, your
COMMITTEES is unprepared to make any
specific recommendation.
This isa question of magnitude and
intrinsic difficulty, and your committee
beg leave to refer it, for discussion and
settlement, TO the collective intelligence
and wisdom of this meeting of stock hold,
ers. Respectfully submitted.

Hon. II. A. Tyler, of Hickman, then
said that one object of the meeting was to
ascertain whether the present company

interest in the road. But tthere was this
difficulty that the stockholders were not
