Rcscrved'' Rights of the States.

" No Liberal Republican, says the
New Orleans (Warmoth) Republican,
"ever entertained the idea that the
State possessed any sovereignty superior
to the (U. So Constitution" What,
we would ask, docs the Republican
mean by "rights reses.vetl to the States
by the constitution"-words used by it
in the article from which we have
quoted? Does it mean that all rights
not reserved ssby" the constitution, by
specification therein, have been surren
dered? Did the Constitution reserve
those rights, or did the States, or peo-
pie, reserve them? Did tho people
give up all powers of government, and
then accept a grant Of rights? Or, did
they grant certain powers, the remain
der being reserved, first, by not being
granted, and secondly by reservations
in Articles TX and X of the Consti-
tuition?
We PROFOUND these intcrrogatorics,
because they are pcrtinentin discussing
the 4th resolution of the Cincinnati
NhiCl (tcClitiCS lIlttt - local
self-govcrnment, with impartial suf-
frage, will guard the rights of all citi-
zens more securely than any centralized
powers and because the Cincinnati
Commercial, which supports Greeley,
says in its issue of the 18th, that 'therc
is a grave and general suspicion, when
people become troubled in their minds
about the power Of the General Gov
crnment, that mischief is meant" Docs
the Republican agree with the Com
,nercial in saying that-ssWc do not
think it likely that the Executive OF
the American Republic will become too
stronger If it does not, upon what
principle Of government docs it and Mr.
Greeley oppose Gen. Grant:
We trust the Republican W Ill answer
our questions.

For fifteen days, or more, the lower
ouachita has been fed exclusively by
the waters of the great basin above
Ouachita City, the river above the
overflow having fallen to five feet about
the 9th instant; and this great natural
reservoir will afford water, for some
time yet, sufficient to enable the largest
boats, drawing eight feet water, to
reach Monroe. Suppose Government
should construct Il dam ut the mouth of
the overflow, and continc the water
there, % the miller docs i'll his pond,
would not that give us navigation
nearly the whole year round? And
into what 4 magnificent lake a country
utterly worthless for tillage, would
thereby be transformed! If the next
Governor of Arkansas will aid the en-
tcrprise, we will support him. If IL
stock company could he formed, there
would he no difficulty in watering the
stock.

If Greeley insists that byc-goncs be
bye-gones, why may not Ben Butler do
the same thing:
If the friends of Greeley insist that
bye-goncs must be byc-gones, they give
up the negro vote; and must never

A DEMOCRATIC STATE TICKET, THE

Gene Back to First Love!

We are about to do what some peo-
pie will probably consider queer thing,
and, as ell people have more or less
curiosity, we shall expect this article to
be attentively read. We are going to
kill ourself; and as we are ready to offer
reasons for the faith that is in us, we
will proceed with our funeral Grafton,
only asking to be heard.
Promising further that we intend to
die game, and that therefore there is n
likelihood of a sensation, we select, as
q starting point, curious as it may APP
pear in dying man, the vital statis-
tics of the State. Sympathetic reader,
we are Democrat, and what, will be
as soothing to know, VIC are II Demo-
crat, not alone from principle, but be-
cause the winning ticket in this State
will certainly bean honest Democratic
ticket, If there be one. How that is to

A Desperate Adventure.
like a charm

THE following story, narrating how two
Il boys killed panther and two cuba, is
told the Sacramento Union by a subscriber,
residing in Colusa county, California.
Permit me to make known to you an in
cident which transpired during the sum-
mer months at the north fork of Grind
stone, in Colusa county. The particulars
are related to me by Rowcrott, gentleman
residing in the vicinity of Newville, upon
whose veracity you can safely rely. He
says two young men with whom he is per-
sonally acquainted started to the noun
tains, as is customary, with a band of sheep.
One was named Orlando Burris, aged four
teen years, and the other George Hull,
aged eighteen.
After getting thoroughly settled in their
cabin and the sheep under good control
they started off one bright morning trout
fishing, having with them sheep dog and
jack knife, the latter in the possession of
young Hull, and the only weapon of defense
in case of an attack of any wild animals
They had not gone far when they come to
an old moss-grown log, and were about to
step or it, when out sprang a large she
panther and her two cubs. Young Burris
Missed the sheep dong on the panther.
She Immediately seized the head and was
Furnishing him in frightful manner when
young BurIis came to the rescue, catching
the panther by the tail and endeavoring to
pull her off the cog. In case the panther
let 20 her hold it would have been sure
death to the young adventurer.
Just in the nick of time young Hull,
seeing the danger his companion was i'm
drew jack-knife and rushed to the scene
of the conflict. Running his hand over the
panther until he felt the pulsations of the
heart, he raised the knife, and with unerring
aim, drove it straight into the panther's
heart. The animal fell dead between them.
Thus, by the merest accident, the lives OF
the two young heroes We're spared. few
days afterward they hunted up the two
cubs, which escaped during the fight with
the old one, and killed them also. Any
person paying visit to their fathers resi-
dence can see the three skins hung up as q
trophy Of the victory accomplished. The
dog recovered and is as faithful as ever.

The doctor was calculating the risk to

feeling, and answered:
"No, my boy; joy seldom kills''-an an
swer over which the child pondered in me-
ditative silence.
They reached the hotel, and, mounting
the stair unannounced, the doctor made
his way to the sick-room. With beating
heart he gave the professional tap. The

What Was He :

A jolly young fellow named Corcoran,
when he arrived in this country, some years
since, pronounced a puzzle to gruff old
clerk in the New York City Hall, which is
believed to have shortened that officials
days. Corcoran went up to the Office for
his g first papers" The deputy was a Sc
rious old chap, who, without ever looking
up, proceeded to the formal interrogatories.
"What is your name P' he demanded.
"John Corcoran."
"Your age?'' .f..
"Twenty-one."
"What nativity?" f M
Well-that's what bothers me-rll tell
you, and may be you can make it out. My
father was Irish, my mother English, and
was born on a Dutch brig, under the
French flag, in the Flemish waters. Now,
how is it?"
The old clerk looked up aghast, showed
his spectacles on his brow, and slowly made
answer:
"Young man, that is too much for me. {"

of acres of idle lands. Bring good men
on to these waste places and let every acre
now idle prodSce something and as mat
ter of course we will have more in the
country to sell. We have farms
of a thousand acres, half work
ed and absolutely growing poorer every
DAY, because there is twice as much taken
from the soil every year as is given back to
it. Divide up these large tracts into small
ones and let four or six times as much be
produced by proper cultivation, and as ev-
! cry man of sense will see, our country will
grow richer instead Of poorer All this
can be brought about by in7nliqrdtio1,.
There are thousands of good men who
want to come to this genial climate, and
they arU come, if we offer them lands at
reasonable rates and extend to them a cor
dial welcome. This is an easy way to raise
the standard of our farming classes and a
very certain way of making our country
richer
We have North and South of US, and in
fact all about us, beds of coal and lion and
other minerals. Every tun of coal or
metal taken out of these mines is lust so
much capital added to our wealth. Tt is
one of the surest and speediest ways of
making money. 1t is one of the best ways
to build up our country, provided the labor
that mines the minerals and converts them
to new material, or into machinery, &C.. is
expended here and fairly rewarded. Man
ufacturing enterprises, in other words,
add greatly to the prosperity of country,
and naturally follow good farms, skilfull
farmers and profitable mining We can
have these as We have shown, and we can
have also the manufacturing enterprises,
if, as people, we only put our hands to
work and determine that we eciU have
them. We can not secure these things by
apathy--by calmly folding our hands and
waiting for somebody else to accomplish it
for us. Some of us have waited half our
lives for this, and if we do not look out,
will die waiting and without it. Wemust
COrE and sho1U public spirit and we can
have all. The CHRONICLE of yesterday
showed how we can now accomplish some
thing. We show again here how we can
do more
The South may be growing poorer every
day. If she is, it is the fault of her people.
East Tennessee has started forward in this
work of redeeming herself, and if her
people will seek immigration and capital,
and.then cooperate by energy and public
spirit, we can soon be the greatest and
wealthiest section of the South

HOW TO STOP GROWING POORER.

\ gentleman having peculiar means for
gathering information concerning the pro-
auctions and shipments of the South, re-
marked to us quite recently that "the
South is getting poorer every day" We
are not now disposed to discuss the truth
Of his statement, for we agree fully with
the reasoning by which he reached his con-
illusions, /. e., that our productions are less
than our consumptions. We have several
times expressed our views on Il subject
nearly akin to this, but as it is question
deeply affecting every interest, every phase
in which we can present the controlling
ideas will be of public Importance.
There are several reasons why East Ten
nessee is not making that progress in de-
veIoping her substantial interests, that we
have right to expect from her. As we
fully believe that the foundation of all
prosperity in any country depends upon
the condition Of its producing classes, so
discussion of every phase of this subject
inevitably brings to our mind the measure
of the prosperity of our farmers, miners
and manufacturers.
The degree of our prosperity as a people
depends entirely the success attending
the labor of these producing classes. Knox
vile may line her business streets with
brick stOrehOuses, but they are not the
standards by which we can measure her
prosperity, Within these buildings all
the money that is handled and made
comes from the producing classes we have
named. Send blight over the wheat and
corn fields and orchards of East Tennes-
see; stop our mines, and the marts of
trade are soon deserted. Business is slack
when the men who dig our wealth
from the soil fail in their work. Is this
not so? Is it not then the first and high
est duty of every business man to use his
influence and energy in promoting the in
terest of these producers of the wealth
upon which his success depends? How
can this be done? One way we know Of
1t is very practical way and one that can
be easily carried out.
We have in East Tennessee thousands

NEW ADVERTISEMENTS
Provide Against Danger.

At this season all the great lines of travel be-
gin to swarm with human beings intent on bust
ness or pleasure. Are these moving multitudes
aware of the danger which ensues from drink
ing different varieties of water and breathing at
mospheres to which their lungs are unaccus-
toned? Do they realize how important it is to
be pre-armed with an antidote that will de-
fend their systems from the evil consequences
of such changes and from all ailments and dis
turbanceS which arise from the miasma so pen-
tifully evolved from the soil at this period of
the year? Such an antidote-certain in its pro-
tectiVe operation and free from everything OBJ
iectionable in its composition and favor-has
been for twenty years before tie world. No
instance can be adduced, during that period, in
which Hostetter's Stomah Bittersi has failed as
an acclimating medicine, or as preventive of
the bodily ills to which the undefended system
is liable in unhealthy localities.
A good appetite, perfect digestion, vigorous
condition of the nervous system, functional re-
gularity, and pure and active circulation, are
the elements of health, and these signal bless
ings may be secured and perpetuated by the
use of this powerful, yet harmless, vegetable
tonic. Such is the experience of all who have
ever taken it as safeguard against the diseases
which debility, irregularity and a morbid con-
dition of the solids and fluids of the body are
sure to invite.

QUITE sensation has been created in
New York by the exposure of certain par
ties, who are in the habit of supplying the
people of that city with adulterated arti-
Cles Of food. Milk seems to be more gen.
orally adulterated than anything else, and
is in more general use. Every one who
has every visited the large cities, land
some of the smaller ones are no better has
not failed tOnotice the utterimpossibility of
procuring a glass of pure milk. The stuff
i'll general use is made up of viIlainOus
compounds, calculated to weaken and de-
stroy the physical man rather than to
nourish and strengthen him. Instead of
the unadulterated fluids, we get mixture
of water, chalk and other white powders
with very small quantity of the genuine
article. Such addulteration is not only
robbery, but it is murder, and we do not
wonder that municipal authorities are
taking hold of the matter with view to
its regulation.
The adulteration of articles of food is
entirely too common, and reform is called
for. 1t is not confined entirely to the az
ticle of milk by any means, but extends to
every kind of food, and is practiced in a
hundred ways that are never thought of.
It bids fair to become question that will
claim the attention of every philanthropic
individual in all the land,
