cases of cancer, and have failed In

too strongly the wonderful remedial
Alternative power of this plant, and
having been in the practice Of medi-
cine about forty years, 1t must be con-
coded, certainly, [ have had some ex-
perience. For all dermic diseases and
cutaneOus affections the red clover
tops are the most efficient remedy 1
ever have tried. / have cured some
fifteen cases Of cancer that my brother
physians had abandoned as incurable.
Let every farmer understand there is
hOurishing in his fields a remedy
which is far superior TO 'c~underango'
in its wondrous curative properties,
and that remedy Is the red clover tops.
In my hands 1t has proved far more
powerful than scunderango,' for I
have had ample opportunity for test
ing the latter In the country OF its
growth. TO use the red clover all
that is necessary Is to render a tea OF
1t, and drink freely through the day.
A piece Of rag ought to be wet with
the tea and Kept applied to the can
sore, Iassert that, as an alter
alive, the red clover tops cannot be
excelled by any remedy In our mate
ria Inedica; and I hope the people
will take heed and govern themselves
accordingly"

THE IrmIGRATTON BEUREar.

The immigration scheme proposed
to be favored by the State legislature
was defined and approved by the
planters convention that sat some
months ago in this city. 1t has since
been accepted very generally by the
press Of the State, and will probably
be presented to the General Assembly
by Nj. Crews, Of this county. The
support of the Allan line of steamers
depends upon the success Of measures
which msy defeat the Vaccinations
of those whose interests are to be pro-
NOTED by the action Of the ku-kluX
committee. This body is 81 active
agent of potent Northern railroad
rings. Their purpose is to deter En-
ropean immigrants from the South,
that the great corporation, managed
by Tom Scott, may sell western lands
with which the Union and Pacific
company was endowed by the Fed
ersl government. How far this Ten
immigrants aid association,
supported by the State, can give prof
itableness to the Allan line of steamers
by giving it passengers, while opposed
by these potent railway rings that
reign in Washington and send SMELL
ing committees Of congressman
through the South, remains to be
seeu.

Why WESTERN RAILROADS DID NOT
PAY THE STATE.


.wo years ago the Memphis and
charleston and, we believe, other
West Tennessee roads made all pre-
liminary arrangements, the stock
hOlCers asserting, to 90 into the New
York market and buy Tennessee
bonds rendered valueless by the
Vaccinations of Wilson and his ring,
snd more valueless by companies to
which they had been issued. Distin-
guished lawyers advised these railroad
companies that they must pay their
debt in the Identical bonds that were
borrowed. The State might consent
to receive BrownlOw's bonds, but the
railroad companies liability to the
holders Of the bonds transferred by
these companies would still subsist.
II this opinion be valid, Tom Scott is
still liable for more than four millions.
Wilson'S ring extinguished, or at
tempted to pay its debt 10 the State
with Msney's and Mineral Home and
other bogus bonds. The attorneys on
whose opinion in this behalf the Men,
phis and Charleston Railroad company
acted were George P. Behne and
George Gordon, Of Alabama. The
Messrs. Cooper, Of Nashville, then In
the State senate, concurred in opinion
with the lawyers above named, and
it would be well, since Tom
scott is able to pay as he is to
own States and legislatures, to
have the matter Investigated. The
reasons here given for the non pay
ment Of debts due the State were su-
peradded TO others. These western
roads were not rebuilt by Sherman OF
Burnside, and all possible resources
we're devoted to their reconstruction.
Now Mr.. Wilson would force them
into the New York market. Within
Limited period State bonds would 60
above the second mortgage bonds Of
these West Tennessee roads in value.
the companies will fail to pay, and be
forced to sell out TO Tom Scott, who
would extend his empire from Bristol
to the Mississippi, at Memphis. Then
the Memphis and Charleston road
would never cross the mountains at
Sparta, and Tom Scott be forever SUI
preme master of the commercial and
political fortunes Of Tennessee. Let
the legislature accept Wilson'S policy
and bring about these results, and It's
name and history will become a hiss
and ~ word, and infamous forever.
