Cry NorIcRs.

Schenck's PulmOnic Candy embraces
in a great degree all the principles Of
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, and while IS
pleasant to the palate IS the purest Of con-
fections, its medicinal properties render it
efectual in coughs, colds, bronchial and ca
tarrhal affections, etc. 1t is the most ae-
ceptable remedy for children or infants, and
can be given with IMMUNITY; while for pro
fessional gentlemen, or those who suffer
from loss Of voice, it is Indispensable.
These candies are put up in 25 cent boxes
convenient for the pocket, and are for sale
by all druggists and dealers ~

Stealing Feather Beds.

We never supposed that any member OF
the human family would so far degrade
himselfin the scale of being as to walk in leis-
urely, and premeditatedly remove from the
premises of another his feather bed. But
such is life. Yesterday two feather beds at
different places in South Nashville, which
had been put out in the yards to air, were
feloniously removed, and are non est.
Those owning feather beds who may have
occasion hereafter to put them out to sun,
had better put a guard over them.

THE TENTH WARD.
Special Meeting of the Board of Aid
2FInen.

ermen.
The Board of Aldermen was convened
in special session last night, for the purpose
of taking some action in relation to the
final adjustment of the tenth ward matter.
The following message from the Mayor
was read:
MAYORS OFFICE, April 25, 1S73.-To
the Honorable Board of Aldermen-Gen-
tlemen: You have been convened on this
special occasion to take under consideration
the resolution which was passed ON last
night by the Common Council, with refer
ence to the admission or annexation to the
corporation of Nashville of that portion of
the tenth civil district known as the "Tenth
Ward" AS my individual views have been
expressed to you heretofore upon this ques-
ton, | deem it unnecessary to again ex-
press them. The long agitation of this
question has to some extent engen-
dered unkind feelings on the part of some,
and some anxiety on the part of others.
l have no doubt but what it is the desire OF
each of you to have the matter settled, and
finally put to rest. / would call your atten-
ton TO the fact that the thirty days time is
rapidly expiring, which was granted to the
people of said district to hold an election,
and would, therefore, respectfully suggest
that the question should be settled by the
Council as early as possible. Gentlemen,
you have the resolution before you for
your considerations; act upon il as may
seem proper and just, under all the sur
rounding circumstances of the case. Per-
NIT me, however, in conclusion, to say that
in my opinion, the resolution adopted by
the Common Council covers all the grounds,
and if concurred in by your honorable
body, will give general satisfaction to the
people of said district-and that they will
vote by large majority for annexation.
further call your attention to the bill
passed by the Common Council, granting
N. ii. Corbett the privilege Of erecting
coffee stand in the markethouse, and as
Mr.. Corbett is anxious to proceed with the
work at as early day as possible, would
suggest that you give the bill such consider
alton as in your wisdom you think it de-
serves. do not, however, recommend the
passage of the bill into law for various
good reasons, which do not now deem it
necessary to state to you.
Very respectfully,
THOMAS A. KERCHEvAL, Mayor.
On motion of Alderman Pentecost the
resolutions adopted BY the Board of Com
mon Council relative to the admission of
the Tenth Ward published yesterday were
concurred in.
The bill authorizing NH. Corbitt to erect
a coffee stand at the northern end Of the
markethouse passed first reading.

BEANS STATION. March %, 1878.
EDITORS GAZETTE You must ex-
cuse me for asking if the Legisla-
ture done anything with the Public
Road question. I live in the back
woods. and am behind the times
have seen nothing of any change.
The Farmers Convention meets
soon at Knoxville, and I think this
the time to strike. Let every neigh
borhood send delegates, and let
every one be instructed to vote for
memorializing the next Legislature
to pass tax system Of keeping up
public highways.
The whole country approves it if
you could only get an expression
from them. It is demanded by JUS
tice and humanity-by the interest
of the rich and poor. It is unnec-
essary to go over the old story about
making the poor man keep up the
roads for the rich. Every one who
has honesty enough to keep his
hands out of your pocket will admit
that you had as well take the Sheriff
and make the poor man work your
cotton or corn as your roads.
It is not necessary to urge the
question of a change of policy. for
there is not a man with the least de-
gree of intelligence. but will admit
that it is of more vital Importance
than every act of every Legislature
since the war.
In conclusion. charge and be-
lieve that if in 1865 the Legislature
had passed the one bill keeping up
all public improvements by uni
form taxation, and then adjourned
until 1875, the State would be in
much better condition. It would
have increased the value of the real
estate so that the surplus and rev.
enue would have been doubled. The
wrangling over Funding Bills would
have been obviated by the means OF
paying said debt. There are other
public evils demanding attention
suGice it to say. for the present, that
I know one man who will give one
dollar Of every FIVE spent judicionsly
upon the roads from Beans Station
to Morristown. Respectfully

The New Assessment Law.

The assessment law as passed by
the last Legislature is a "whopper.' .
1t contains eighty-three sections, and
is about seven times as leng as the
''moral law is supposed to have
been, and the way it will worry our
good. old-fashioned farmers, who
make up the County Courts, will be
a ''sin to Davy Crockett" Thirty
seven Wall street lawyers might
unravel its mysteries, but the mag
mates Of our County Courts, we fear,
will find it difficult. 1t is entirely
too long for us to publish, and about
the only way our people can get it
entire is to keep the Assessor, when
he comes around. with You for two
or three weeks-and it will take an
ordinary talker that long to explain
it-male him pay for his boarding
and have him to tell you all about it.
At this rate, the assessor can proba-
bly, get around3his district sometime
before Senator Brownlow's term ex-
pires. But in all seriousness. we
think the assessment law could have
