The Beginnings of Disease.

10 is as true a. that great oaks from little
acJrIis grow, that frightfui diseases are OfteIs
engen'lrred by seemingly trifing ailments.
Casual fits OF indigestion supcrinduce chronic
dyspepsia. occasional bilious attacks eliminate
in Ne,l diseases OF the liver, intermittent twinscs
in the legs and arms degenerate into the con-
tinuouS agony OF acute rheumatism. Not that
such disastrous consequences areinevitable. Far
from 10. They are attributable to neglect.
few doses OF Il0Strtter'> StOmaeh Bitters will al
ways cure casual indigestion Or an ordinary bill
iOus affection. or arrest the premonitUTy SvmIi-
toms of rheumatism. IL Is true that when dv>-
pepSia. or liver complaint, CT rheumatism, or
constipation. or nervous debility. or sick head
ache, has becCme a permanent evil, and has
even J1ified the skill OF eminent physicians AMI
resisted all the ordinary remedies, IL may still
be eradicated by the BitterS; but il Is easier, a.
Macbeth suggests, to crush the Serpents egg
than the grown serpent.

By Mr.. Wei es' paper it is distinctly
made known that Mr.. Seward. as soon
as he came INTO Office. concocted a
scheme for the surrender of Fort Sum-
ter into the hands of the Secessionists;
that he drew Gen. Scott into it, and
tried to get the President S assent also;
that the President having declined to
surrender, and determined to reinforce
the place, confidential friend and pro-
tege Of Mr.. Seward notified his confed-
crates in the South of the movement
about to be made; that the whole plan
and arrangement Of the Administra-
ton for the relief of the fort was
brought to nothing by a series Of secret,
deceptive and underhand maneuvers
which Mr.. Seward carried on without
the knowledge Of the War or Davy De-
partment, and that while he was thus
bctrayIng his own associates he wrote
to SecessIOnists that his faith pledged
to them would be kept. These accusa-
tons seemed to be proved by over
whelming evidence. l do not suppose
that this will shake your faith in Mr..
Stewards integrity and wisdom, or de-
tract one atom from yOuradmirationf for
the grand simplicity of his character

the people Of Tennessee would not toll

Brown. AS the Nashville Union and
American says, the authorities OF Ten

also the opportunities and courtesies of

Ct fugitives. Perhaps no State in the
Union has stood so little upon form
and ceremony in this respect as
the State of Tennessee. She has
not only sought her fugltives in every
State of the Union and brought them to
trial, but she has also complied with ey-
cry demand made in accordance with
the laws OF congress, without question
or inquiry as to the standing or high pO-
sitioA Of the accused parties. Insofar as
the Republican charges a want of court
esy or an unwillingness to deliver up
fugitives from Tennessee, it does injus-
tiee to Governor Brown and the whole
peace departments Of the State, and re
fleets without cause or reason upon our
whole people.

In our report Of the Brownsville meet
ing the other night, we spoke Of A. A.
Freeman as the Radical candidate for
governor, it should have been the ex-
Radical candidate for governor; but,
perhaps, as Porter is using up Maynard
SO badly, and as it has been shown that
the Radical party is the party that pass
ed all the funding bills, Including the
last, il may be the case that Freeman
win be withdrawn from the legislative
canvass and will not give the
gallant Lewis Bond chance to beat
him, and will be put in Msynsrd's place.
Who knows? These Radicals make
such sudden changes. The sentence
should have been "From the enthusi-
asm aroused by Mr.. Bond, and the
clean, straight fight he is SO ably and
making against the ex-Rad-
zeal candidate for governor, a. A. Free

a part Of this vast subsidy scheme, em-
bfscing interests in all parts Of the coun-
ny, Is the third. term. None Of these
measures can become laws without the
executive aid. Executive approval is
IS essential as congressional favor, and
hence the importance Of the third term
in this grand distribution OF subsidy
money. We submit to the people who
are about 70 elect members Of congress
That perhaps their best course is to elect
men who, under no circumstances, can
be supporters Of the third-term policy,
and whose past record gives assurance
that they oppose this whole subsidy
business from first 10 last.

that among those lobbying for the fund

vile, and that Horace Maynard wrote
letter TO Houk from Washington urg-
ing Houk to vote for the bill, and fear
ing fixed crisis might arise before his
letter reached Nashville, telegraphed
HoUk by all means TO vote for the fund
ing bill. Governor Brown was severe
on Maynard, exposing his record merci-
lessly, and Ex-President johnson came

In his speech at Brownsville, Satur-
day night, Major Sykes said the Demo-
cratic party had sold the worthless
railroads at six million nine hundred
and ffty-eight thousand dollars, which
would have cost the State up TO this
time three million six hundred and fifty
thousand dollars. He also stated that
in 1865 the insolvent railroads owed the
State six million dollars, and in 1870,
under five years Of Radical rule, these
same railroads owed the State sixteen
million dollars, an increase of ten mil
lion dollars IN five years.

EMERSON ETHERIDGE was one Of The
men who in 1869 assisted in defeating
Andrew johnson for the United States
senate and electing Henry Cooper. He
Was in the "daTk conclave at the City
hotel" where it was said the conspiracy
was formed. He is now kneeling at the
shrine Of the Ex-President in order to
get a small Office. Can the friends Of
Johnson rely upon such a man? May
his object now not be to defeat Ex-
President Johnson by advocating him?
for any man that Etheridge advocates
is weakened thereby. The friends Of
Ex-President johnson would be glad if
Mr.. Eiheridge would not advocate him,
since he is doing him an injury every
day. Etheridge and Topp advocating
johnson! Isn't this nice? We can tell
them that friends OF johnson are not TO
be caught by such chaf.
