The Pulaski Citizen, speaking of a re-
sent visit of Gov. Brown to Pulnski, says:
.sThe Governor is hopeful of the future,
and thinks there is n tide comingi upon
which we may ride out of Oiir national
difficulties. If We will only wait for il and
then take it ut the flood. He thinks the
Democratic party is the hope of the couii-
try, and Zealously opposes a dissolution
or dis bandment of the party organiza-

Just as we expected. The corrupt in
1iuence of evil associations could not, per-
haps, be more strikingly exhibited, in few
words. than in the paragraph we have
quoted.
There was a time, We think, whom our
present Executive took a different view of
the principles aud policy of the Democrat
ic Party; when disunion, tloodshed, war
and ruin were predicted, by the Wings. as

The EIizabethton Murder Case.

Some time since we published the facts
as reported to US relative to the murder
that took place in Eiizabethton last fall.
As Mr.. Turner'S friends think we did him
injustice in the statements made, we now
publish the following letter:
ELIZABETIITON, Jan. 23rd, 1872.
Editors TriLune.-In your issue I OF
the first week in December, 1871, if /
mistake not in the time, in an article in
relation to the murder of George Shell,
you said the Turner's and Fair laywaid
the Shells, &c. This is a mistake, the evi-
dence on the trial before the Justices,
shows. that the Shells were in the adj
vance in going from the corn husking
home, and when Turner and Fair come up
with them they were standing backed up
against a plank fence and VIM. She'll
struck the first lick in the difficulty which
unfortunately ended in the death of Geo.
Shell, and there was but one Turner in
the fight. 4s.EI avfi.I -.
Please insert this in your paper or
make the necessary cOrrecti ons. The
publication referred to,will have a tenden-
cy to prevent Turner and Fair from get
ting a fair and impartial trial by preju-
diceing their cause, and l feel for them as
only a fathcrlfeels for his son, and son-in-
law, only asking that they may have a

direful results accruing therefrom. We
shall also endeavor to satisfy our Conser=
vative Union readers of the equal absurd
ty-the utter and ridiculous Inconsistency
of any attempted coalition On their part
with the residue Of this once powerful
party; powerful In its opportunities for
doing good, but, 49, we have seen, during
the Rebellion, q far more potent and
willing agent in the accomplishment of
crime. Its history-antecedents and prin-
ciples are as distastelul aud repulsive- to
the one as they are to the other; and
hence, if the opposition aspire to any sue
cess; beyond that which is of purely local
character, the party must change its name
and select one less suggestive of the mi
quities of the past; less offensive to old
Wings who are afflicted with irritable
stomacbs and weak digestion; less OBJ
~noxious TO Union men, citizens and sol
diers, who endured its enormities during
years of incessant civil strife.

THE TRUTH

The Democratic journals have been dis
posed to deny that such an organization

Ia fact, the present Governor of Mary
land in his first message went so far as to
deny it altogether. 1t happened that the
arraigned Ku-klux of South Carolina en-
ployed as counsel Hon. Reverdy johnson,
a Maryland and Baltimore lawyer of wide
reputation. In the course of his master

Fall shah be determined by the old appor-
tionment or the new. In preceding cleo
tions, after the d~ecennial taking of the
census, the number of electors. has been
determined by the new a-pportienment.
but the provision of the Constitution
which relates to the subject is in these
words:
Each State shall appoint, ia such
manner as the Legislature there as may ai-
rect, a number of electors equal to the
whole number of Senators and Rcpresen-
~tatiyes to which the State may be entitled
in the Congress-" ea ga,
This evidently means the Congress now
in session. and as the Congress based on
the new superintendent does not meet till
after the Presidential election, it would
seem evident hat there is a chance of the
former practice being overthrow and a
new rule established in its place.

would write to You the substance OF his
statement He says his mother who is now
SIXTY YEARS OF AGE had SUFFERED
with CONSUMPTION for SEVERAL YEARS
and has been under the care of ALL OUR
BEST PHYSICIANS. but never received
any permanent benefit /; then she resOrted
to most every kind of Cough and Lung
Balsam that could be procured tor her,
BUT ALL TO Nc AVAIL. She still grew
worse, until she was confined to her bed;
and when she was seized with a paroKism
of coughing she would LOSE THE P0WER
OF RESPIRATION, and they were COM
PEELED to restore breathing: and while she
coughed so hard she could not eXpecto-
rate anything, and the family and friends
had given up all hopss of her recovery.
Her son noticed that advertisement of
Aliens Lung BalSam in the Christian Adj
%vocate- and they. thought they would pro-
cure and try it. They commenced giving
her the BalSam at D p. ~, as directed, Il
dose every hour until midnight; then she
took another spell of coughing and eX-
perforated a mouth full of dark, yellow
matter, which was something she had not
been able TODD for some time. They con-
tinued to give her the Balsam until morn
ing, and then she began to eXpectorate
freely, and within two hours she had EX-
Perforated THREE PINTS of mucuS
matter, which gave her immediate relief;
and since that time she has continued to
improve. She now sits up all day, and
can walk abou the house and take con-
siderable outdoor exercise. Her son
bought more of the Balsam to-day, and
he is recommending it very highly to We
