Speaker of the Next House.

\ portion of the press, says the NelO
National Era Erred Douglass paper, is
taking time by the forelock in discussing
the question of Speaker of House of
Representatives not yet in existence. The
Forty-third Congress, members to which
were elected this year, will uot meet until
December of next year, more than year
from now. But we don't know that there
will be any harm in discussing the claims
or qualifications of the various aspirants
for Speaker Indeed, we rather like the
plan of putting candidates for office early
before the public, that the people may have
ample time to learn who and what they
are. The man who can bear n twelve
months discussion successfully will be fit
for any trust to which he may aspire. We
think that Hon. Horace Maynard, who
has Just passed through so remarkable a
canvass in Tennessee and been so over
whemingly elected, and who is now
prominently presented for Speaker of the
next House, win stand such test, If Mr..
Blaine is not a candidate for reelection,
Mr.. Maynard will be formidable aspirant,
and we can hardly doubt a successful one.
At any rate we hope so. Indeed, we are
not sure but we shall favor him against the
field. There are reasons why we should
prefer him even to Mr.. Blaine. But we
will wait awhile yet.

AN ADDRESS
To the Honorable Board of Commissioners
OfImmIgratIOn. state of Tennessee.


OfImmIgratiOn. state of Tennessee.
GENTLEMEN: The excitement, natural
ly produced on the mind of every citizen
by the late election, both National and
State, having subsidized, and political is
sues for the present, at rest, deem it a
proper time for our people to turn their at
tention to their local affairs, to the advace-
ment of the prosperity and material adj
vancement and welfare of the State. You
will, therefore, pardon my liberty of adj
dressing few suggestions to your Honor
able body in regard to the all-absorbing
topic of Immigration. ,-r
IL is hardly necessary for me to point out
the advantages arising from the influx of
an industrious population, on large scale ;
but, to the enemies of this measure, i
would PROFOUND just one question: What
would be the result if all those residing
among us, who came from other States and
counties, were to leave the State? And
again, if this number should be doubled t?
| Much has been done in the way of
speaking and printing on this subject, but
desirable as it is to enlist the inestimable
| aid of the public press, in its behalf, the
|
therefore, respectfully, propose to your
honorable body, the following feasible and
practical plan which, if either in whole or
part, it meets with your APPRECIATION, you
may propose to our next Legislature to be
acted upon.
l. Let the State procure one-quarter or
| one-half million acres of arabic land to be
set apart for the sole and exclusive purpose
of immigration,
.. The acquisition of the land could be
easily obtained, partly from that owned by
the State party by donations from the
friends of the cause, and by purchase on q
long credit.
8. The land should be in tracts of two to
three thousand acres, subdivided in Sec
lions of sixty acres, of which every
alternate section be donated to a bone .fdc
settler, under such conditions as the State
may prescribe the other sections to be re.
tanned by the State.
/. Every male immigrant of the age OF
twenty-one, and every widow with one OF
more boys, should be entitled to one sec
ton of sixty acres.
3. The State is to warrant the title to the
settler, but the latter to pay all costs of sur
veying, etc., as designated by the State.
6. All products of manufactory tC
be exempt from taxation for the
term of ten years, as far as the
authority of the State reaches.
7. The object of large tracts is to facili'
tate cooperation and mutual assistance on
the part of the settlers.
s. The State may enter into negotia'
tons with bodies desiring TO establish
communities or settlements in body.
8. The sections reserved by the State
will, in time, more than compensate fol
all OUTLAWS and disbursements by the
State.
In order to carry out this plan, an appro
priation by the Legislature is requisite fol
} the purchase of land, compensation O
commissioners, separate agents, &C., bu
which will tend to the advancement anC
prosperity of our beloved State, and prove
a great source of revenue in the not dis
tant future PETER STAUB.

New Torpedo Boat.

The torpedo boat which is to be
built at Boston will be quite formida-
bic affair. It will occupy year in
building, and when completed will be
about 40 feet long, and 35 feet wide,
and ID feet deep, and will draw about
II feet of water. She will be of $50
burthen, will be driven by two power
full engines, and will carry two propel-
Iers. The PROV of the vessel will be
made sharp, and six feet under water
will carry a steel ram Above the ram
there will be an apparatus through
which will pass long composition
spar, on which viii be placed torpedoes
similar to those exploded at the yard
recently. She will be heavily plated
on the sides with iron six inches in
thickness, and on the upper deck with
steel an inch and half thick. The
plating is being manufactured for her
in Pennsylvania, and Will soon be for
warded to this station. The estimated
cost IS $780, 900, but it is very probable
that more than this sum will be reu11ir-
ed before she is completed. The crew
OF the vessel will not probably exceed
forty men including officers. She will
be capable of sailing twelve knots an
hour, and of making ocean voyages.
The style of the vessel will be similar
to monitor, only she will have no ,tur-'
rets. The vessel will be used in case
OF war to blow up or crush vessels do
ing blockade service, working at night.
She will carry no guns, but depend
upon her engines for safety.

Bronchitis.

This is an irritation or inflammation
OF. the Bronchial tubes which carry the
air we breathe into the lungs. It arises
from a cold settled in the the throat,
from Catarrh extending to these parts,
from scrofulous affections, and from
severe use OF the voice. The irritation
from this latter cause commences in the
ldqyaar and gtot6s, which are the organ,
OF the voice, and, extending downwards
produces hoarseness, coughing, and
splitting mucous matter, sometimes
mixed with blood. It is chiefly dan
gerous from its tendency to spread into
the lungs, and terminate in consump-
ton. 1T is in the cure of severe and
obstinate cases of this disease that DIR.
