HORACE GREELEY once said: "While l
will not say that all who use tobacco are
GLackguard8, 1 do say that all black
" guards use Tobacco" Though he enter
tanned such views of the use of tobacco, he
entered into q partnership with "Boss
Tweed" the notorious thief, and who
plundered New York City by the tens OF
millions, for the purpose of "manufactur-
ing tobacco and cigars by machinery, "and
also "for the purpose of selling the tobac-
eco, cigars and machinery so to be manu-
featured" This partnership was entered
into on the 18th of April, 1871, as appears
from an official exhibit of the articles of
partnership, furnished for publication by
the Clerk of the County of New York on
the 18th of April, 1872. This business as
ISOLATION with Tweed was formed after his
gigantic plunderings of the people of New
York. And this is Honest Horace"

WHAT THE PEOPLE DEMAND.

The leaders of Democracy in Tennessee
seem to have but an imperfect conception
of the meaning and force of the present re-
bellion of the people against their selfish
and incompetent rulers. They act in some
instances as though it was revolution of
sudden growth and of temporary charac-
ter. They are far from understanding it,.
For three years the honest people have pa
tiently waited for the Inauguration of a
more liberal and progressive policy in our
State administration. Our industries are
groaning under the weight of unnecessary
burdens. Our people have been oppressed
10y vindictive and partisan legislation un-
til they feel that without radical
change, there is no hope for them in
the future. We have an onerous State debt
for the payment of which no provisions
have been made. Our public credit has
been so impaired by failure to pay any in
terest on our bonds, that capitalists abroad
look upon us as a people undeserving of
credit prosperity. Embarrassed by finan-
clal reverses, and the losses entailed by the
war, our people longed for liberal State
policy that would bring to our doors new
labor and capital.
We needed help from abroad to restore
our shattered commercial, agricultural and
industrial interests. 1t stood waiting to
come to us if we but sought it. With the
energy of foreign labor and the aid of for
eign capital, new life would have been in
fused into our State, and our burdens of
every kind been soon removed.
But our Legislature and Governor, in
stead of promoting the interests of educa-
ton and immigration, devoted the
valuable time of the limited legisla-
tive session to gerrymandering Maynard
out of Congress, Thornburgh out of the
Attorney Generals office and generally to
keep the offices within the grasp of few
unprincipled leaders. The people have

AFashiOnabIe Cook.

The Owensborough Monitor tell the fol-
lowing story of the appearance Of cook
from Louisville in that pretentious little
burg. He says:
Recently one of our most excellent
housewives had occasion to send to Louis
vile for cook. The latter in few days
put in her appearance, arrayed apparently
in a large quantity of cast off mas
querade finery of the Queen of She
ba; dilapidated paniers, fiounces, hoops,
andI with. a stunning head-dress that
would have beftted the Queen of
Hayti; jute curls, ringlets, frizzles, chignOns
and rats in alarming profusion. The for
mer looked on the newcomer in astonisll-
ment, and when sufficiently recovered in
formed her that she did not think she
would suit as mistress for her kitchen, as
her appearance indicated that it would re-
quire three-fourths of the day TO get up her
elaborate head toilette alone. "Why, Ia,
ma'am, L never combs my head!' was the
response. The fashionable cook returned
to Louisville.

The river was still rising at this point yes

| In answer to communication from Gen.
| WeitZel, informing the Directors of the
Louisville Canal of the appropriation grant
| ed at the last session of Congress, the Pres
ident of the Canal Company notifies the
1 General that the directors refuse the appFo-
| priation, and will not permit the money to
be used upon the canal. In regard to this
| matter, the Louisville Commercial has the
| following: 81
The directors say that in accepting the
appropriations, conditionally upon the re-
| duction of the tolls, they thereby acknowl-
| edge the right of the Government TO estab-
| lish the rate of tolls, which in other words,
would be virtually turning the canal over
to the Government, which the directors
claim they have no right to do. The Gov
eminent can only get control of the canal
by complying with the provisions of An act
of the Kentucky Legislature, prescribing
conditions by which the control of the canal
is eventually to pass into their hands.
Among the provisions of this act is one that
the Indebtedness of the canal, bonded and
otherwise, must be paid, and the enlarge
ment completed. The directors claim they
cannot 60 beyond this law, and, besides,
that the AMOUNT of tolls collected at the rate
of five cents per ton would not be suf-
ficient to meet the current annual expenses
of the canal, much less enable them to paw
the indebtedness. Therefore, if so IL
clined, they could not, in justice to them
selves and duties as trustees, accede to the
conditions imposed in the amendments to
the appropriation bill.
The contracts for the work of completing
the enlargement of the canal have already
been given out with the intention of com
mencing operations this month. There is
some difference of opinion in regard to the
matter, many thinking that che Canal Com
pany have put wrong construction upon
the meaning, and that, after the mattsr has
been fully considered, the contractors will |
be permitted to proceed with the works
We may say, however, upon good authori-
ty, that the refusal of the directors TO ac- |
cept the appropriations for completing the |
work, on condition of the reduction of tolls. /
IS based upon the best legal advice, after 6, |
thorough investigation into all the bearings
Of the question, and as there is no power |
to change Congressional enactments ont
side OF Congress, we may say, with a great
Zeal OF certainty, that no work will be done
upon the canal this year. Nor will any re-
duction OF tolls be made until the entire in !
de6tedness of the canal, 81 800 900, is paid.

him, aud consequently his report is very
buried one. 1t has been my intention to
make full report of my t.ust, but in con-
sequence of an injury received some months
since have been unable to do so. My time
has been occupied in preparing for collection
the open accounts on the books of the bank,
mostly created South, and the other
debts contracted to the bank.
These amount to over half
million dollars. They were declared by
our former Supreme Court void. They
have recently been declared valid by our
present Supreme Court, and are now col
lectable. ~
L am compelled under the order of my
physician to leave for New York and in
tended doing so some weeks since and am
suffering by the delay.
On my return shall enterd upon the
preparation of my report giving a full state
ment OF all assets coming to my hands,
and all my acts as Trustee. To do justice
to myself and make my report full and &C
curate will require two or three months
time after the work is commenced, for I
shall have TO make an examination of all
the assets turned over TO me, examine all
the entries upon our books since my trust

branches, and all our lawyers employed,
agents and lawyers amounting to some 20
or 80 persons, and all this will have to be
done by correspondence, with these agents
and lawyers. +4
To make my report full and accurate
must obviously require good deal of time
and respectfully ask sufficient time, unless
some interest is to suffer by the delay.
In the case of n. E. Alloway l would
state that since writing the above report n.
E. Alloway has paid me in new issue S855,
and has rendered me $500 in post notes
issued after the Bank left Nashville and
$l45 in change notes.
My agreement with him was to relieve
him from his liability from R. g. Foster Sd
upon his paying me $500 in new issue Of
the bank.
By "new issue" of the bank was u-der-
stood by me notes of the bank issued prior
to the bank being removed from Nashville,
aud does not mean change notes, or post
notes issued South. And such is the I'M
derstanding of the business community. /

receive the money rendered as new issue.

The Peonle,s Stamu of YaIue.-T

The Peoples Stamp Of Value.-The
Government endorsement, which legalizes
the sale of Plantation Bitters, is not the
only stamp affixed to that famous Vegeta-
BILE Tonic. 1t bears, in addition to that of
fetal sanction, the still more valuable stamp
of public appreciation. This inestimable
voucher of its rare properties as a Tonic,
Corrective and Alternative, is Of much ear
lier date than the Government crecential;
for millions of sick persons had pronounced
It the Grand Specific of the age long before
Congress thought Of taxing proprietary
medicines. 1t is unnecessary to repeat, in
detail, tie properties of this wonderful Veg
etable Invigorant. The best reference that
can be offered to those who desire the full
particulars of its virtues, is the General
Public. Ask those who have tried it as a
remedy for dyspepsia, constipation, bilious
ness, intermittent fevers, nervous debility,
rheumatism, sea sickness, low spirits, or
loss of vital power, what Plantation Bitters
has done for them, and be governed by the
response they make to your inquiries.
