nEcrs1oSs OF THE SUPREME COUNT.

We have received copy OF 8 memo
rial signed by a large majority OF the
lawyers of the State to the governor and
legislature on the subject Of reprinting
the reports of the supreme court OF the
State prior to 1861, The memorialists
say:
In view of the fact that most, if not
all, of the reports Of the decisions Of
,he supreme court Of Tennessee, prior
10 1861, are out of print, and cannot be
procured by the members of the bench
and bar OF the State, all individual
efforts on the part Of the profession and
others, heretofore made to reprint them,
having failed and involved the under
takers in heavy loss; and it being mani
fest that it is impracticable by private
enterprise to supply these decisions, the
republication of which has become an
imperative necessity We earnestly re-
commend to the executive and members
at the present general assembly Of the
State the purchase Of sufficient num-
Der of reports edited by Hon VIM. f.
Cooper (the publication of which was
recently commenced, but suspended TO
supply the demands of the State, and
enable the editor and publisher to con-
tinue and complete the republication
down to 1861; and to issue an edition
large enough to meet the absolute re-
qairementS of the bench and bar of the
state

ST. Louis, March A telegram re-
eeived here says the steamer Sallie sunk
near Swan Lake. Arkansas river, to the
boiler deck. She will probably be total
loss, and only small part of her cargo
saved. The SaIlie was owned by the ST.
Louis, Arkansas and White river packet
company, and left here last Sunday with
cargo valued at some $4,000. She
was rated by Pittsburg underwriters at
SIS, 600, and was insured in that city for
81. 600, but the names of the companies
cannot be given. The freight list was
partly insured, and the cargo is believed
to be fully covered. Fl
A special from Topeka to the Demo-
crat says that the call which has been
issued for State convention to send
delegates to the Liberal Republican con-
vention at Cincinnati, is not as success
full as its originators expected. Auditor
of State Thomas and Senator Haas, of
Leavenworth, both Germans, signed the
call, and it was boosted that the whole
German element would follow the move
ment. but after weeks work, only a
few have fallen into line, and, according
to present aspects, not cne-quarter of
the German vote in the State will be
taken from the Republican party.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-There was a
dense crowd at the Metropolitan Metho-
dist Episcopal church yesterday morn
ing, many persons, in a&tion to the
usual attendants, having been attracted
there by reports that the Japanese en-
bassy would be present. Several visitors
came to the church. but they did not sat
isfy public expectation. Before DIR.
Newman commenced the delivery Of his
sermon, he said that the announcement
had been made in the newspapers with
out his authority, but that the next Sun
day, as he had been informed by Minis
ter belong, the embassy, or a part OF
them, would visit the church. The en-
bassy, thus far, have made no calls, ETH
quette preventing them from doing so
until they shall have been officially re-
ceived by the President.

The annual election for directors oc-
Cured on yesterday, and the first act of
the new board was to pass resolution
to carry into effect the promise above
named and to make the following redu c.

From IS per thousand cubic fee,., to
81 so per thousand, with the usual dis
count of FIFTY CENTS PER THOUSAND, for

A correspondent of the New York
Sun tells how Grant and his tools in
tend to carry New Hampshire as fol-
lows: AS the day Of election approaches

Both parties are straining every nerve
aud resorting to all sorts of expedients
From present indications the result is
doubtful. At the last session Of the
legislature the Democrats acted without
discretion, and by their folly gave the
Republicans all the hope which they
now cherish. They are literally food

it for success. tits understood that S25

THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT.

The Liberal Republican movement IS
assuming shape and strength. 1t is un-
dsrstood that Schurz is organizing IT,
and is its head and front. No other man
is so capable of the great work. His
ability is splendid, and his career is
without a spot upon it. He is invulner-
able, and can defy the shafts of malice
as we'll as the shafts of mind hurled at
him by the leaders of the carpet-bag
party. He has been in America long
enough to understand its institutions
and to catch the spirit Of his people.
His sentiments are all American, while
his native country is remembered with
affection. We have Germany in
America. You may travel through the
new Northwest for days and hear nothing
but the German language spoken. There
iswhere the great currents OF immigration
have rested, aud there is where the val
leys wave with corn, the hillsides TEEN
with grapes, and where the neat cottage
stands, the very impersonation OF clean
illness and thrift. They are counted by
millions and are fxed-no matter what
may occur in the future-in their homes
forever. The great mass Of these people
hsve acted with the Republican party
under the belief that it was the

The History of national Remedy.

The History of n National Remedy.
Here is the history of the most cele-
brated tonic Of the age in a nutshell.
In 1860 it was announced that a certain
combination Of vegetable ingredients,
with pure diffusive stimulant, was
working wonders in the cure Of chronic
dyspepsia, nervous debility, liver com
plant, periodical fevers. rheumatism and
constitutional weakness. The unpre-
tending name given to the specific was
Plantation Bitters. The statement at
tracted the attention of invalids every
where. The new remedy received fair
trial, and the results more than con
hrmed all that had been said in its
praise. Thence forward it was a grand
success. The business columns OF the
press spread the glorious news far and
wide, and the martyrs to indigestion,
biliousness, physical prostration and
premature decay. as If by common con-
sent, sought relief from the new vegeta'
bic restorative. They found TAat they
sought From that time to the present
the increase in the demand for Planta
ton Biilers has been one Of the most
siriking events in this age. sod-daN

for voluntary discharge of duty. If an
