81 WAS AS WEAK AS A BABY" observed enc of the
young lady employees at Macy's dry goods store,
''when commenced taking PLANTATION BITTERs |;
and now am on my feet from morning till night,
without ever feeling over fatigued" This remark
was made about six months ago to pale, ema-
cated girl who was making some purchases at
Macy's. ''The hint was taken," says the young
woman in letter to the prcprietors; 81 began
taking your Btters the next day, and am happy to
tell you that they have completely restored my
health, strength, and cheerfulness."

If there was ever section cursed and
bedeyiled by political demagogues, we
think ours is peculiarly favored. These
fellows think that newspapers have no
higher mission than to follow their lead,
and shout ''huzza" when they speak. No
matter how absurd, ridiculous, or dema-
goguical, position they may take, the
sacred pale of "party" must strangle
newspapers into silence, and prevent the
discussion of truth, because they are of
long standing in the party" One of
them will seize hold of some special
"hobpy" by which they expect to cover
multitude of errors, and humbug the
people into giving them an Office, and
yet raise their hands in "holy horror" if
a newspaper or citizen, dares to expose
them, With due courtesy we beg such
to steer clear of these precincts. There
are number of these in this district, who
are personally clever citizens and gentle
men, but from force of habit, are politi
cal mOnstTostues anu HunpuSS. Ahe
people are tired and sick of them. The
country has been cursed and ruined by
them. The time has come for news
papers and public spirited citizens to
make candidates for public favors meet
public issues fair and square, or make
them bear the odium of double dealing,
by a thorough ventilation and exposure
This much to those who may feel the
sshoe pinch"

Negro EGuaIity.

In order to show the disadvantage at
which the white man is placed by the
failure of our State Courts to receive
negro testimony aud the consequent
transfer of such eases to the Federal
courts, some friends have promised to
furnish US list of such cases of recent
occurrence in the counties of Hickman,
Fulton, aud Graves, together With the
names of the attorneys asking such trans
fer, because "the negro is denied this
right"
One case is just now handed US The
case Of citizen of Hickman county by
name Of Craig, against a black man of
the same county, for trespass upon the
white mans property, W R. Bradley for
plaintiff and Geo. w. Silverteoth for
defendant. Will any who heard the old
''war horses" vehement denuuciation of
negro testimony at this place, believe it,
that in this very case, against respecta-
Bile white citizen of his own county, he
! (Silvertooth) had transfer to the Fed
eral court because his client, the negro.
was denied his rights in our State courts
We hear he has been party to several
such cases. Indeed, one informant, as.
serts that Cok Silvertooth was the first
man in this section who took advantage
of the Civil Rights Bill, in the favor of
negro client Col. Silvertooth breaches
that the people and their judges should
suffer ali kinds of pains aud penalties
before they submit to negro testimony,
and yet avails himself of the NEGRO
Equality Act to defend negro client
The Colonel has promised to make list
of appointments throughout Hickman
and Fulton counties, for the purpose of
excoriating the termagant Hickman
CoURIER, and we trust he will remember
this point, and have a member of the
Clinton bar along to disprove it. We
shall have occasion frequently to discuss
this question, and Colonel SIS. relation
thereto, and therefore it may be we'll to
state, once for all, we esteem him, per
sODally, an able, clever, genial, whole
souled old gentleman, and we would not
write one word to injure his feelings or
character, personally; but, write of him
only as public character.

GOV. King,s Letter.


| THE attention of our readers is called
to the letter of Gov. John @. A. King,
from the Paducah Kentuckian, which we
publish on our first page. This letter
has been often used by Gov. Kings op-
ponents, during the present canvass. and
that too, to ais very grea: injury. 1t ex
plains the motives that pEompted him to
write the letter to the Hon. Lucian An
derson.
We submit it to our readers that each
may Judge for himself, if Gov. King is
to be ostracised for acting as he did un-
der the then existing surroundings. The
letter has never been published, and
therefore, its exact contents not known.
Why do his aocusers not publish it? If
it is protected by private confidence, :"
how has it's contents been made known?
Certainly its publication could do Gov.
King no more harm than the dread
full insinuations which have been given
out and secretly circulated in regard 10
its nature DO the friends of other as
pirants hope to kill him off at the eve of
the Convention by insinuation only ?
The counties, which have instructed for
him. at least, must have more before
they abandon him. We are satisfied that
during the war many good and true men
were forced to do things, utterly repug
nant to their nature and principles, for
the protection of themselves, their fawi
lies. and property, and therefore until the
letter is published, we are bound to ac
cept Gov. Kings statement as true. IF
his opponents fail to sustain their char
ges, their persecution wilI' redowu to
Kings advantage

railroad monopolies.

The Jackson Wing and Tribune says:
"Both Memphis and Nashville are
pretty considerably stirred up at the
present time by the movements of the
Railroad Kings, which promise to flank
each of them out of large proportion of
the trade and traffic they now enjoy, and
out Of all, or nearly all of what they
fondly supposed they had in prospect. y
Nashville is exercised by the grasping
disposition of the Louisville aud Nash
vile Railroad eompany's proposition to
lease the Nashville and Decatur Rail
road for term of thirty years. The
Louisville company have already con-
tracted to finish what is known as the
North and South Road, from Decatur, to
Eiyton, A la, in the direction of Mont
gomery, by which Nashville will occupy
the position of way station on the
great s;hrough route from North to
South. The fears of both Memphis and
Nashville are, no doubt, we'll founded
and all old fogyism must be promptly
discarded by them if they do not intend
to be left as monuments of the folly
which characterizes them at the present
day. It will take herculean efforts on
the part of each of those chief cities OF
the State, to save them from utter aud
hopeless commercial and pecuniary ruin
The time for decided action is at hand
and no time is to be lost Newspaper
discussion is all very well-nay, indis-
pensable-but with that, the money mag

senators Blair and Amer.

The epithets applied by the carpet bag
Senator Ames, of Mississippi, to Senator
Blair; in his speech, suggests probable
hostile meeting. Mr. Ames accused Mr..
Blair of leaving off the blue and putting
on the gray, and INDUCED in other inde-
cent illusions to such an extent that even
Mr. Colfax called him to order, asd com
pelled him to apologize to the Senate.
It is generally agreed that Mr. Ames'

scurrilous part of the speech.

The ErenCh war.

All may not remember that the pres
ent forti6cations of Paris, from behind
which the Commune hurl defiance at all
government and all civilization, were
built by this same Adolphe Theirs,
whose armies must now storm them 1t
was not the forts, but food that failed
Paris and opened Its gates to the foreign
foe. The details of the French civil
war are too sickening to reproduce. 1t
has the same infuriated and bloody char
acter for which previous revolts have
been distinguished. Both parties are
saDguine as well as sanguinary.
