WE venture the opinion that no citizen
of Tennessee, if he were innocent, would
remain silent, if Col. John Baxter should
accuse him of stealing $4,000. He would
be sued in the courts of the country for ut
tering slanderous libel upon an innocent
mans character, and his ample property
would be made to atone for damages be-
sides, he weuld be indicted in our criminal
courts, as he would deserve. But we have
the spectacle presented, of him charging
public officials-State Printers-with TAX
ing that amount of money which did not
belong to them, and appropriating it to
their own use. Strange as it may appear
to honest men, they ward off his charges
by maintaining what they would, perhaps,
call a dignified silence. What reply TO a
grave charge from a respectable source!

THE organ of New York blackguards,
the ,Steu, has the following absurd telegram
from Washington, which we give as q
specimen of the straits to which the enc
mics of the President are sometimes fore
ed for capital. We take it from the Gin
cinnati Commercial of the 4th:
The Suns Washington correspondent says
that a prominent Government official stated to-
day that President Grant after carefully consid-
ering the situation, had decided, at an early day,
to announce his determination positively to de-
cline denomination. This action, the CORES
pondent says, was not hurredly taken, but that
the President consulted with his best and most
trustworthy friends. The political situation of
the various States was thoroughly canyassed,
and IN the most important of them divisions
were found, which were beyond healing Fur
thermore, it is found that large combinations
existed in the various States for the purpose of
sending double delegations to the National Re-
publican ConY ention, which would necessarily
distract the councils of that important body,
and create a boilers Convention, with a second
candidate, thus, in all probability, throwing the
Presidency into the hands of the Democracy.
This is specimen Of the wholesale ly-
ing in which the defamers Of the Presi-
dent and Of the Republican party engage
in order to make impressions which they
cannot make by fair representation of
facts

She still grew worse until she confined to her bed:
and when she was seized with paroxysm of coughing
she would lose the power of respiration, and they were
compelled to resort to various to restore breath
ing and while she coughed hard she could not eI-
pectorate anything, and the family and friends had
given up all hopes Of her recovery. Her son noticed
the advertisement of Aliens Lung BalSam in the
Christian Advocate, and they thought they would pro-
cure and try it. They commenced giving her the Bal
sam at o'clock P. NJ, directed dose every hour
until midnight then she took another spell of cough

STATISTICS OF H0MICIDEs.


The whole population of the United
States as appears from the census of last
year is 81, 727 ,615. The number Of homi-
cides for the year ending May 81, 1870, was
2O52. A glance at these homicides and
the localities in which they were COM
mitted is interesting. In Massachusetts,
with a population of l, AS, 042, there were
% homicides In South Carolina, with a
population of 40, 100, there were 81 homi-
cides, as reported to the census takers.
Ohio has a population of 2,652, 500, and had
81 homicides. Alabama has q population
of l, 0o2, 900, and had 100 homicides, Hi
nois with population of 1857, 032, had
56 homicides. Tennessee with a popula-
ton of / ,258, 1926, or less than half of the
former, had III homicides, or a little more
than double those of Illinois. Iowa

Preventive Medication.

A radical change has been introduced In
the practice of medicine. Physicians have
ceased 10 torture and PROSTATE their pa
tients. Instead Of pulling down, they build
up; Instead of assaulting nature, they as
sist her. Cupping, leeching, blistering, VEN
esection, calimel, antinony, supplying mar
cotics, and rasping purgatives, once the
fayorite resources OF the faculty, are now
rarely resorted TO even by the most dog
matte members Of the profession. The old
creed was that disease was something which
must be expelled by violent artificial means,
irrespective OF the wear and tear OF the vi
tai organization in the process. The new
creed recognizes the improvement OF the
general health as essential to the cure OF all
local ailments. Hence ii Is that HOstetter's
Stomach Bitters, the most potent vegetable
tonic that pharmacy has ever brought TO
the assistance OF nature In her struggles
with disease, has been cordially approved
by practitioners Of the modern school. ii
Is pleasant to reflect that reason and phil
losOphy have at last been victorious over
the errors Of the past, and that thousands,
and tens of thousands, of human beings
are alive and well TO day who would indu-
bitably be Wondering In their graves, had
they been subjected TO the pains and penal
ties which were deemed orthodox and in
dispensable thirty or forty years ago.
Preventive medication was scarcely
thought of then; but now 1t Is considered
of paramount importance, and the celebri-
ty of the standard invigorant, Alternative
and restorative of the age, "a title which
HoStetters Bitters have fairly earned by
their long career of successD Is mainly due
to its efficiency as protective preparation.
A course of the Bitters Is urgently recon-
mended as safe and certain antidote to
Intermittent and remittent fevcrs, diarrhPa,
dyscntery and other maladies.
