POLK AND RRADLEY.

We are sOrry to learn that our friends in
Bradley and P0lk are 10 a condition to lose
the Joint Representative in that district by
having too many candidates in the field.
They have decided majority, and it would
be almost criminal to throw it away. Brad
ley has "dead sure thing of it" for the
Senate in the candidacy of Col. Mich. Ed
wards. Why not, then, concentrate on the
strongest man in Polk for Joint Represen-
tative, and put him right straight through
We may lose three or four members in the
more closely contested districts of East
Tennessee, and it would be the supreme of
folly to fritser our strength away in others

stESed Un.,7

What is the precise meaning Of this fam liar
phrase when employed 10 signify an unnat ural
condition of body and mind? 1t means exh aus
ton, languor, want of vital energy, men tai
apathy-a pitiable state of physical and menta
helplGSsuess. The best, and in fact the only
perfectly reliable panacea for "used up" syS
ten is that most popular and potent of medicinal
stimulauts, Hostetters Stomach Btters. No
matter whether the health has been broken down
by excessive labor, over-study, an insalubrious
atmosphere, anxiety, irregularities in diet, dis
sipati5n, or any other cause, this powerful and
pleasant vegetable restorative will soon recruit
the dropping energies of nature, restoring the
integrity of the nerves, and re-establishing that
functional regularity which is essential to ami
NAL vigor and hopeful frame of mind. As a
cure for debility, in all its varied manifest a.
preached by any tonic in the materia medica.

INJUSTICE is done Gen. Cheatham-in
many cases, no doubt, unintentionally. 1t
is said and believed, by some persons, that
he is a gambler and INDUCES too freely III
strong drink. BOH charges are untrue.
For several years he has been an earnest,
consistent member of the church, and he
does not use liquor as beverage under any
circumstances. He does not touch it at al,
as drink. During the war he may have
used it to an excess, as did many other good
men, but when that struggle was over, he

The increase of the reserves on the con-
tinent and the loss by the Bank of England
have been considerably augmented within
the last three or four weeks, and It is in
view of these lActs that bankers and mer-
chants are discussing the effects of the prob
able export of coin on the money markets
of this country and its influence on the
price of coin, produce and stocks. 1t will
not be doubted, if this export takes place in
any considerable volume at period of the
year when we are making large shipments
of cotton and other produce, that gold must
advance and our money markets be greatly
disturbed, for Notwithstanding the popular
belief that ''greenbacks are as good as
gold, none act upon such belief, but prac-
tically recognize and submit to the gold
standard of value in all The transactions of
life. There are those who argue that all
country will, in q short time, go
abroad to fill up any hiatus in our
commercial balance sheet. How far
it may be for the best interests of the coun-
try that this should be the case, and that
the supplies shall be constantly replenisiIed
from the national banks, savings banks and
trust companies, Is question that need not
now be discussed. 1t is our object to show
the sources FROM which the stream of 5-20s
is to flow, in order to satisfy the foreign de-
mand. A schec dle published of bonds held
by the treasurer of the United States, to Sc
cure the circulation of the national banks,
Oct. 10, 1872, shows the amount to be
S4,27A, 300, of which sra, 37S 900 are six
per cent, and $210,897, 300 are i've per
cents. The practice of the department is
10 allow $40 bonds to be Withdrawn and
their places to be supplied by an equivalent
of any description of five per cents. The
New York Financial Chronicle says: "The
process of substitution is rapidly going on,
and in short time the whole of the one
hundred and one millions will perhaps be
replaced, and will come on the market in
the shape of coupon bonds, into which, by
law, they eau be converted at pleasure.

The Value Of Pedigree.

Judge Thomas G. Jones, of Delaware,
Ohio, in one of his public addresses, re-
Gently gave a clever illustration of the
value OF pedigree. He called attention
TO the well-known fact that in breeding
like produces like, or the likeness OF
some ancestor, and then he gave re-
lmarkable instance oc peculiarities lying
dormant for several generations and af-
|terwards re-appearing. A white woman
the wife of white man, gave birth to a
child with decided African characters
tics. AS her reputation for virtue was
above suspicion, the case was regarded
curious until investigation revealed the
fact that some generations previously
negro blood was visible in the family.
1T is" says Judge Jones, "thereforc,
a well established principle in breeding
that we cannot be confident of our abil-
ity to transmit any desired quality, un-
less we are assured that such quality
also belonged to the ancestors of the ami
NAL we select; unless, indeed, he belongs
to RACE in which such characteristic
is confirmed. Upon this sound founda-
ton rests the argument in FAVOR OF A
PEDIGREE. An animal may be per-
feet in himself, and yet be utterly value
less as breeder because he does not be-
long to a breed in which such excellence
is known to have existed for many gen
erations. The purer and the less mixed
the breed the more likely is it to be trans
mittcd unmixed to the progeny; and,
therefore, we know that the parent pu-
rest i'll blood will be more represented
in the offspring than the one of mixed
or inferior blood"
