THE CONPTRoEI.ERsnIP.

From the Memphis Ledger.
a Comptroller w. w. Hobbs, WHO has been
in IN health ever since bis electicn AMI at
home much of the time on that account,
pas. ed in his resignation yesterday, aud
@ Co. Jno. &. Burch, editor of the UNION
AND AMERICAN, was Immediately appoint
ed by Gov. Brown to fill the vacancy and
took the office. Col. BurCh is eminently
fitted for the position, and viii doubtless
make mcsl eff lent aid useful officer.
The duties of the office are numerous AMI
exactiug. The incumbent Will find no light
work before hin; nor is it Improbable, as
ample provision Is made by law TO clmpen-
safe the public servant called to the Comp
trollership. Col. Burch has had large pub
lie and business eXpt rieuCe, aId has q mind
to grasp at once the details and intricacies
of the office. His appointment of course
implies that Le is in harmony with the Gov
ernor on the subject of funding, as was
Mr.. Hobbs. His paper las stood up and
offended the policy with more ability than
any other journal in the State, and while
bis appointment may have been suggested
from this fact, we believe, nevertheless, that
it will give gene' al satisfaction to all parties
throughout the State. He was understood
to be candidate for Comptroller before
the General Assembly, but for soTe Tea-
son his name was not put forward at the
election.
From the Appeal.
The appointment of Colonel John G.
Burch, so long .knogn for his practical good
sense, prudence, and solid ability, as editor
in-chief of the Nashville UNION AND AMER
IcAN, to the State comprehensive, will be
approved everywhere. Governor Brown
could rot haye selected citizen Of Ten
nessee more admiralty tilted d for the place,
or one who will discharge its functions with
q greater degree Of prudence, watchful care
and souLd discretion. In fact; the ap-
pointment of Mr. BuTch iusuyes such a
faithful aud energetic execution of laws af-
fecting the State finances that his assulnp-
ton OF the duties Of the position will give
renewed confidence TO those who think the
time has come when the fame and credit Of
Tennessee should be restored to wonted
and proud pre-eminence.
To This the Brownsville States adds:
Gall OF which we endorse"
From the Gallatin Examiner
Comptroller hobbs has resigned on &C
count of Ill health, and Col John G. Burch,
of the UNION AND AMERICAN, has been
appointed by the Governor in his place.
An excellent and deserved appointment.
Col. Burch has every qualification for the
difficult position.

The Wear and Tear of Life.

The cares, spxieties and mfsfortanes of life
have as much 70 do with shortening it as dis
ease. They are in fact the source of many
ailments and physical disabilities. Nervous
weakness, dyspepsia, affections of the liver,
disturbances of the bowels, headache, hypO-
chOndria and monOmania are among these dis
tressiRg fruits It is. therefore, of great i'm
pOrtance that persons whose minds ere OPP
pressed with heavy business responsibilities,
OF harassed by family troubles, or excited by
speculation, or peFplexed by a multiplicity of
enterprises, OF In any way over taxed or over
worked, should keep up their stamina by the
daily use Of q wholesome tonic. Thousands
Of persons thus circumstaneed are enabled to
bear up against the difficulties in which they
are involved, and 70 retain their strength,
health and mental elesrness, by the regular
use Of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
Diseases which are prone to attack the body
when debilitated and broken down by over
much brain work or exhausting physical labor
are kept at bay by the resistant power with
which this Incompatible tonic endOWs the ner-
vous sy stem and the vital organs At this sea-
son, when the heat Is evapOrating the elements
Of strength from every pore, an invigorant Is
absolutely essential to the safety and comfort
Of the public, and is required even by the more
robust if they desire 10 keep their athletic ca
pabiiities in status quo. Hence a course Of
Hostetters Bitters is particularly useful At this
period Of the year as & defence against the in
visible disease aioat in a sultry atmosphere.
1t is the most potent of all preventive medi-
cines, and for all complaints which affect the
stomach, the livsr aud the bowels, and inter
fere with the perfect digestion and assimila-
ton Of floyd, II Is the STANDARD remedy.
