The SAN JUAN controversy between the

many to whom it was referred has been open
for some years, although it was supposed to
be settled by the Ashburton treaty of 1916,
which provided that the northwestern bound
airy "shall be continued westward along the
said forty-nintl. parallel of north latitude, to
the middle of the channel which separates
the continent from Vancouver's Island, end
thence southerly through the middle of the
said channel and of Fucas straits, to the Pa
cifc Ocean; provided, however, that the nav
iga,ion Of the whole of the said straits and
channel south of forty-nine degrees remain
free and open to both parties" Between the
southern portion of Vancouver's Island and
the main land is cluster of islands, San Juan
being about in the centre, and the difficulty
which has arisen between the two COVE rn-
ments as been has to the course of the bound
airy channel, England asserting that it should
be shifted to the casts as to include a dozen
or more islands claimed by the United States
Our country claimed the Canal de Haro, run
ming west of San Juan, as the legitimate
channel, while England claimed the rounda-
bout course through the straits of Rosario
There has never been any doubt among
American diplomatists of the justice of our
claim, as the Haro canal forms the natural
m ddle channel separating the continent from
Vancouver's Island

ILLINOIS will elect her next legislature I'M
der the system which secures representation
to considerable local minorities, and is there
fore termed minority representation. To
this end the whole state is apportioned into
districts of nearly equal population, whereof
each is to choose three representatives; but
every voter is at liberty to vote for three diff
ferent candidates, to concentrate on two only,
or to vote thrice for one candidate, thus:

and the inspectors must count and return
it accordingly, unless he should attempt to
cast more than three votes, in which case his
ballot is not to be counted at all. Counting
these ballots will be slow work at first; after
ward they will be sorted into piles and thus
counted more rapidly. 1t is not probable
that more than two names will be placed on
any ballots, as minority equal to one fourth
of the votes in district can surely elect a
representative, leaving two to be chosen by
the majority. .. 4....,..t.-.-. ... .,...

Wise Providence is the first duty of man,

Whereas, 1t hath seemed good to him, TO
take from labor to eternal rest, our Brother
Micajah Bullock, thus depriving US Of a

RsSolUed, That in the death OF our de-

ResoIUed, That in giving expression to

chiefly pleasure to testify our high appre-
ciatisn Of his great moral worth and IN

RsSoLUed, That we tender to the bereayed
family our heartfelt sympathies, and that in
token of respect we wear the usual badge

An! indeed.

That immaculate democratic pa.
per, the Shelbyville Rescue in its is.
sue of the Sd, says eve would like
to see Greeley beat Grant for Pres
ident." And yet the Rescue is do
ing all it can to prevent such con-
Summation. The plain English of the
Recue'S position is simply this, it is
consistently" prepared and willing
to enjoy all the benefits that flow
from the overthrow of radicalism,
and yet it eirtuoasly declines to
lend its influence to bring about the
very thing it desires. Such is bour-
bon consistency. If the people of
Tennessee had followed such teach
ings in the gubernatorial contest
between Senter and Stokes, they
would be to-day under the remorse-
less heel of radicalism, and if the
people of the South were to follow
the example of the Rescue in this
vital hour, they wOuIu groan at
least four years longer under the
wrongs and expressions of military
rule. Never, at any time, were
those watch words of liberty and
peace more potent. Gle that is not
for us is against u.s."

A PeriIous Season.

Glorious and delightful as the Summer
weather is, its tropical heat is a severe trial
to the vital powers. Even the strongest
are sometimes Frustrated by its effects. The
common phrase applied to this condition
Of the body is general debility" Now,
general debility arises from, and includes a
variety Of ailments. The liver is more or
less affected, the bowels are either consti-
pated or less affected, the bowels are either
eonshpated or too much relaxed, the stOm-
ach but half performs the work ofdigestion,
the appetite is poor, and the spirit depress-
ed. This is what is called general debility.
1t is a general arrangement Of all the ply
steal functions, and requires as a remedy a
medicine that will regulate them all. Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is specially adap-
ted TO this purpose. It's general operation
is not confined TO a single organ. If the
stomach is torpid, it regenerates its tone. If
the stomach is torpid, il regenerates it. If
the nerves are tremulous and weak, it braces
and reinforees them If the mind, which
ever sympathizes with the body, is gloomy
and respondent, it relieves the diffic ulty,
and soon brings the whole mechanism Of
Do0E Win int lINs Oh
health.
There isno civilized nation in the West
ern Hemisphere in which the utility OF
Hostetterss Stomach Bitters as a tonic, cor
receive, and ambitious medicine, is not
known and appreciated. Throughout the
Tropics it is considered both by the people
and the profession, the standard specifc.
While it is 4 medicine for all seasons and
all climates, it IS especially suited to the
complaints generated by the weather, be
ing the purest and best vegetable stimuIant
in the world.
Beware of the Bitters made Of acTid and
dangerous materials, which INSCRIPTIONS
parties are endeavoTing TO foist upon the
people. Their names is legion, and the
public has no guarantee that they are not
poisonous. Adhere to the tried remedy,

Louisville, Memphis and New Or.
leans Railroad.

For several years past leading
gentlemen of Louisville and Ken
lucky have been discussing the i'm
portance of another line of railway
to Memphis and New Orleans
There has been some difficulties in
the way which have retarded the
enterprise, but now they are in a
measure overcome, and the enter
prise is assuming definite shape,
and Importance. The company is
organized with Mr.. Cooke, of Lou
isville, gentleman of great railroad
ability and experience, as President,
and the subject of location is now
exciting great interest and discus
sion in Kentucky. Two lines are
proposed, both we believe centering
at Jackson, as furnishing competing
lines to New Orleans and the Gulf,
and as being on the nearest line to
Memphis. While this fact is en-
couraging, yet there is danger of
another line being selected North Of
us-say by Union City or Troy
connecting with the Memphis and
Paducah road, and with the Mobile
and Central roads. Hence we deem
it important for our city to take
some action in the premises-ap-
point committee at least to confer
with the officers of the road on the
subject. Jackson is the proper
point of Junction, and we should
take steps to present her advantages
to those in authority.

Let ms unite!


The complexion of the returns in
this State, whilst they indicate de-
cissive triumph in November next
for the liberal movement, they are
not as satisfactory as we could wish,
or even had just right to expect.
In many instances local causes
worked disastrously to the conser-
natives, and insured their defeat,
but the fact remains, and stands out
in bold relief, that wherever the
Radicals have made fight, they
have made gains, and especially is
this true in East Tennessee. We
give due weight to local influences,
to multiplicity of candidates, and to
the laxity of political lines in civil
contests, which permits men to vote
for candidates with whom they diff
fer politically. But these circum-
stances ought to operate as much
for one party as another, and the
balance sheet ought to exhibit equal
defeats and victories. Let us look
the question calmly in the face.
The Radicals have called State
convention to nominate a candidate
for Governor and Congress. Words
of preparation are sounding along
their columns-and they emphati-
cally ''mean business" They viii
make a severe struggle for lost SUI
premacy in Tennessee.
Our duty it seems to us is plain.
We must FURNISH up our armor, and
organize thoroughly in every ward,
district and county. Whatever I'M
kindness has been engendered by
our August elections must be cast
to the winds, and every true Con-
sentative must be up and doing.
Let us initiate our friends in
North Carolina, who despite FEEDER
al patronage, money, bayonets, and
an infamous registry law have roll
ed up a glorious victory, and res
cued her people from the blighting
domination of Radicalism. "Our
brethren are already in the field!-
Why stand we here idle?"

CO Ii win be seen that the Sena-

Warren, of McNairy county. This
is a well merited compliment to a

rank in the Senate, and received a
most fiattering vote for Speaker of

Warren was noted for his staunch

TEEN of all classes by his manliness.
iberality and magnanimity. His
election is assured, and we advise q
cordial cooperation of Liberals and
Democrats in his behalf. This-is no
time TO inquire what a man has
been, or to din the public ear with
q rehash of effete issues, and mean
ingless political antecedents. The
true issue is, t0hO is he for now,
and tohat is he for? Does he adopt
the glorious motto of Charles SUM-
ner, the "Unity of the Republic, and
equal rights for all, with reconcilia-
ton" Ifso his political status is
commensurate with the crisis, and
he deserves the unstinted support
of all liberal and conservative
terms now synonymous in the polit-
ieal vocabulary.
