FROM our observations during the
partial prevalence of cholera in our
midst, we are ledto believe that news
paper discussions of the origin, pre-
vention and cure of that malady, are
mischievous in their tendency. The
marked differences of opinion among
those physicians who write on the sub
jects serve to mystify the popular mind
and may lead to grave mistakes in the
adoption of sanitary measures. One
learned physician says-''eat what you
please, so it is sound-drink puddle
water if you choose-none of these
ever induced acase of cholera" An
other says avoid fruits and vegetables
as exciting causes of cholera attacks.
One says cholera is as much a specific
disease as small -pox, and another that
it is entirely malarial. Not one man
in thousand is competent to decide
these disputed points, and the remand
er are the victims of ignorance con-
founded, and that upon subjects too
vital to be treated in the hap-hazard
style of newspaper controversies. No
attempt Of that sort, to enlighten
the public mind on the origin of chol-
era, its treatment and probable prevent
ives should be made until thorough re-
search reconciles the opinions and con-
victions of the leading members of the
medical faculty until, in fact, the truth
is known andcan be impressed upon the
popular mind as an incontrovertible
fact in medical science. Let the fac
Guilty discuss such subjects among
Observation-Disclosures them quietly
and with mutual aid, and when the
causes of any disease are clearly as
certained and lucidly explained, the
people will no prompting scare
to induce them to remove those causes.
They will yield obedience to scientific
facts, but cannot eliminate truth from
a mass of contradictory suggestions
and assumptions and therefore do
nothing, or do wrong, because they do
not know what to do.

JUDGE HoUK seems very confident
of an early triumph of Radicalism in
Tennessee. Knowing the material OF
which the opposition is made up, and
profting by the lesson of the last cleo
ton, We are not prepared to say, that
his hopes are not we'll founded. In
these times of political corruption, we
are prepared for any results, save those
which are brought about by patriotic
motives and wise counsel.

THE New York Herald, with Its
skill in reading character, We believe
is mistaken in suppOsing that Grant
can be turned from his purpose of a
third term, by any consideration of
duty Orpopularity. Money is more to
him than character. and he is in
for 100000 extra attached to third
term. More than this, it will be found
that the Radical mass will back him.
A few Radical aspirants will oppose
the movement from selfish consider
ations, but will ultimately yield and
give him their support, for the sake of
Radicalism.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New
York World says: THE iron field.
of Dixon and HUMPHREYS coun-
ties, in Tennessee, one hundred and
twenty miles from Memphis, east o.
the Tennessee River, are famous fol-
the peculiar quality of their ores. The
iron is very soft and very tenacious
and is deemed of great value. 1t is
used in giving proper qualities, by ad-
mixture, to ores taken from Iron
Mountain, Missouri. A company has
been organized to buy all the iron fields
of the counties designated. Three
hundred thousand acres have been
secured, the whole will be mortgaged,
and the money borrowed will be used
in constructing narrow gauge railway
to the Mississippi at Memphis. The
ores are now hauled in wagons to the
Tennessee River, of uncertain naviga-
bility, and thus distributed among
cities along the Ohio and Mississippi,
Cincinnatians are the leaders in this
scheme, in which one capitalist has in
vested three hundred thousand dol
lars.
Thus one after another, the great
sources of southern wealth are passing
into other hands, whilst southerners
are content to raise cotton to buy north
ern pork, and to eat pork, to raise
more cotton.

Inquiries reach me almost daily. re-

through this Office, according to such
directions as may be given by the

GRANT AND THE CONSTITUTION.


The frst section of the second arti-I
Gle of the Constitution is in these
words:
The Presidentshall, atstated times.
receive for his services, compensa-
ton which shall neither be increased
nor diminished during the period for
which he shall have been elected, and
he shall not receive within that period
any other emolument from the United
States or any of them"
The question is whether Grant did
or did not, violate this clause of the
Constitution, when he signed the grab
bill, and whether he can legally hold
the increased salary obtained through
the passage of that law? The solu-
ton of the question may be reached by
very simple process. If Grant sign
ed the bill before his first term expir-
ed, he violated this clause of the Con-
stitution. If he signed it after his
second term commenced, he is equally
guilty of its violation. Being his own
successor, there was no intermediate
moment when he was not President,
and during which inter regnum he
could have signed his name. But even
if some radical, hair splitting constitu-
tionalist can find gap between the
close of one term and the opening Of
another, in which the feat could have
been performed, still the spirit of the
Constitution would have been violated,
for its intention clearly is that no Pres
ident shall increase his compensation
during the period for which he shall
have been elected" And Grant is
doubly guilty, inasmuch as he increas-
ed his pay not only for the expiring
period for which he was elected, but
for the beginning term for which he
had been reelected. Had he in
creased the pay for successor, other
than himself, the case would be differ
ent, neither the letter nor the spirit of
the Constitution would have been vi
olated.

No one ought to question the puri-
ty of Gen. Beauregard's motives in
his unifcation, nor the honesty of his
conviction that his policy is the true
one. 1t does seem to us, however,
that little deeper research into the
future combinations of causes and
effects, would have convinced him that
the evils which must follow his sue
cess, are far greater than those he
would avert.

The court did one thing that enti-
ties them to the lasting gratitude of
all our people, showing not only good
taste, but good common sense, COM
modify not always found in represen-
tative bodies. An order was made,
without dissenting voice, appointing
committee of three, composed of
Sheriff. JAS. N 0sburn, DIR. J. P.
Cullorn and w. B. Nichols, our eff
Gent Circuit Clerk, with power to en-
close our Court house with substan-
tial fence and set the yard thus enclosed
with shade trees of the Maple variety,
and have all the walks graveled and
the grounds outside beautified. This
is something that has been talked of
ever since our Court house has been
completed, but from some cause no
thing has hitherto been done except
talk. But with the present committee,
every one of which feels deep inter
est in the matter, we doubt not but
that the work will ere long be done,
and well done.
We have one of the neatest and
best arranged Court houses in the cir
cult, and although our county IS not
rich, yet she is in good circumstances
financially, and able to afford it, and
therefore We see no reason why the
surroundings should not be improved
so as to make them correspond to the
building, and as We are justly proud of
our Courthouse, let Us have reason
to be proud of all about it.

IT has not yet been made public who
is the fortunate winner of the great

about it which engenders a suspicion
that the holder of the winning ticket
is known to all whom 1t may concern.
Since the above writing, the Courier

living in a remote corner of Massa-
chusetts, drew the big prize. A sim
pie announcement of the fact would
have satisfied the public. The minute
