THE New York Tribune thinks that but
for the extremely bad condition of the
country roads, which snow, frost and rain
made almost impossible, the Republican
majority in Connecticut would have been
still larger. Jewell seems to have been
chosen by the people, but if not he will
certainly be chosen by the Legislature,
Republican by an increased majority of
four on Joint ballot.

THE friends of the Signal Service Blu
reau, whose weather reports are 50 valuable
and interesting, will be glad to read this
item:
1.-The House Appropriation Committee
agreed to extend the appropriation to the
Western Union telegraph from Sl60,OOO, as
it now is, to $235,O00 for transmitting the
weather reports of the Signal Service Bu-
reau on their lines"

The friends of public schools have reason
to be encouraged at the action of many OF
our East Tennessee counties. The Legis-
lature was too busy legislating for parti-
sans and railroad rings to give the poor
children of the State any encouragement
in the way of free schools, but the people
of several counties have resolved to do the
work for themselves. We gave yesterday
good news from Sewer county, and to-day
an exceedingly gratifying report from JEFF
ferson. Such liberal and wise action by
their County Courts will do both counties
good. Money expended in educating the
rising generation is certainly judiciously
used, Let the good work go on.

CHATTANOOGA is trying to raise $780,
600 to secure the location of a Baptist
Theological Seminary at that point.
Prominent citizens have been appointed
and are at work canvassing the city for
subscriptions. They act and talk as though
they would raise it.
How would some such exertion on the
part of this city toward aiding our East
Tennessee University do? Would it be
unlike Knoxville, to do something in this
line? If Chattanooga can afford to raise
such a sum to secure a Theological Semi
nary, can not Knoxville afford to aid a
University already in full operation and
needing additional buildings to accomo-
date new students?

WE hear encouraging reports from the
various counties of East Tennessee of the
prospects for Improvements during the
present year. Our farmers are taking a
new departure in their methods of work
and are determined to use more labor
saving, improved machinery than hereto
fore. The land will be better cultivated,
more acres are being worked and to bet
ter advantage than heretofore. There is
no reason why, with proper energy and
management, we should ever again find
our country SO thoroughly drained OF
grain, corn, hay, fodder and fruits. We
can provide against such hard times as we
have experienced, if we only try.

In response to letter signed by large
number OF colored men. asking Wendell
Phillips to address them OH the issues
OF the campaign, hc has written Il long
letter advising them and other loyal IN en-
TO vote for Grant. After referring to the
iact that he opposed Grant in 1868,
while Sumner favored him, Mr.. Phillips
says that Gen. Grant has succeeded be-
yond his utmost expectation and ought
To be reelected. He says
The eminent merits Of General Grants
administration are, confess, surprise
to me. His truly original, statesmanlikc
and Christian policy toward the Indians
is admirable, and. standing alone, is
enough to mark HIM a statesman. His
patience amid innumerable difficulties in
our foreign relations is wonderful in one
bred soldier. The aid the administra.
ton has given to the industrial and
financial prosperity OF the country is a
great merit. General Grants prompt
interference for justice to workingmen
in defiance of those about him, relative
to the execution of the eight.hour law 1

the republican party tolerating the
Ku-Klux is fragrant. But the President

that matter. His service TO the fifteenth

tax your patience and generosity.
For the past six months have used this ex-
tract in many cases affecting the mucous MEM
branes, and in almost every case it has given
entire satisfaction. In abrasion of the os and
cervex uteri, when applied in its full strength
by means of pledget of cotton, I have found
it far more satisfactory than tannin or iodine,
In endometpitis IL has proved equally satisfac-
tory. 1 have used it with perfect success in
acute and chronic vaginitis, by applying it in
it's full strength every other day. have also
used it in several cases of gonorrhea, and must
say that vastly prefer it to the Wanted rem
