great Alcoholics Remedy, VINEGAR BIT
TIERS, is everywhere driving pestiferous
rum potions out of the market. That
famous combination of the finest medic
inal herbs on the continent of America,
is accomplishing such cures of diseases
which affect the stomach, the liver, the
bowels, the kidneys and the nervous sys-
tenn, that the grateful masses have
adopted it as their Standard Specific. The
various rum bitters have gone down be
fore this pure vegetable antidote like
tenpins before a well-aimed ball. The
people have at length discovered that all
the spirituous excitants are worse than
shams-that both morally and incidentally
they are inimical to the well-being and
safety of the community. 10 ,oont do.

The Story Of GA Steamer"

jaw, and giving his Tuckapaw trousers a

never heard of the old Elephant, that
used to run between Cincinnati and New
Orleans? She was a beauty. i suppose
hat'when she was tied to the bank with
a stern-line and tow-line she was one of
the fastest boats on the river. She made
one celebrated trip from New Orleans, /
think in AT. Her time was made mat
ter of record. 1t was seven days, six
hours, and three weeks. Comm up from
New Orleans once, the captain was sittin'
at the table, and he noticed several big
hunks of fellows servin' as cabin-bOys.
He called the steward to him, and says
he, Don't you think it would look bet
ter to have boys waitin' on the table? /
don't like to see men film the place of
cabin-boys. Let 'em go and get some
young chaps Why, blast it, captain
says the steward, them fellows were
boys when we left New Orleans
"The Elephant" continued Mr.. Harris
horn, clinging to his nautical reminis-
cences, "was pullin' out from Memphis
one day, on down trip, and somehow
she got mixed up with a raft of saw-logs.
She broke one Of the logs loose, and it
foated' out into the stream. The Elc-
plant headed down the river, and finally
got alongside the log. Then commenced
one of the incest races you ever saw.
There was a good stage of water, and the
log doomed along right lively. For about
a week they held together purity well,
but the Elephant had to land at the
mouth of White River, and the log beat
her into New Orleans about twenty min
utes. There was something wrong with
the Elephants boilers, and she couldn't
make steam properly. That's what the
captain said. She was a nice boat to
ship green fruit on"

AS may be seen from the proceedings
of the Congressional Convention held at

him upon his success, the Convention up

party upon the selection of standard
bearer and representative so eminently
worthy ard able. In the 43rd Congress
Gen. WHITTHoRNE was recognized as one
Of the ablest and most industrious South,

White Mans PARTY.

To The Editors Of the Herald and Null:
We think the suspicious time has arriv-
ed IN our political history, that a white
mans party should be established in Ten
nessee. Not that any of the privileges
accorded to the negro should be restricted
or changed, but for the one great reason,
if we as white men are DESTROYS of leaving
our political institutions to orr posterity
pure and untarnished, il is all Important
that this white man party should be in
augurated. The hour has arrived, and
demands of us such a course. This, and
only this. wilt finally bring about peace
and good understanding, politically, be-
tween the races. How viii this most to

quest it, aud then With almost certain
ty that he will not heed il. 1t is like

cause serious disturbances-hurttul to the
interests of both.
There may be few negroes in the
country who are unwilling to associates
with their own race, and who desire to
force themselves into the society of the
white people unsolicited, but such we do
not believe to be the sentiments of the
great body of the black race among us.
They are not ashamed of their own race,
or unwilling to associate with persons of
their own color. This bill is not urged in
the interest of the black race, but is press
ed either with a view to accomplish q
party and mercenary purpose, or to crafty
the few selfconceited, ambitious negroes
who are unwilling or ashamed to acknOwl
edge the equality of other negroes with
themselves We oppose this bill because
it must necessarily produce an antagonism
between the races hurtful to both and
destructive to the best interests of the
country. We oppose it because it will
destroy the system of free schools in Ten
nessee and other Southern States from
which the black race may derive so many
benefits. We oppose it because it is an
attempt by legislation to control the social
habits and customs of a people. We op.
pose 1t because it would lead to such in
reference on the part of the Federal Gov
eminent with the local affairs of the people
as will destroy the last vestige of States
rights Thetendency ofthe Federal Govern
nent to Capitalization is increasing with
alarming rapidity. Soon, if matters pro-
ceed in the same direction they have been
doing for some time, there will be no
remnant left of the rights of the States,
orof local self-government. The crea-
ture will absorb all the powers of the
creator, and this Government will be moth
ing more nor less than a great central
despotism. Rights of person and proper
ty, and all other local matters, which have
been wisely left by the trainers of the
Constitution to local legislation and local
tribunals, will all be absorbed by the great
Federal Maelstrom. One of the great
doctrines of the common law, handed
down to US for generations, as a bulwark
OF liberty and personal rights, that is, the
right to be tried by jury of the vicinage
will be taken away, and men will be
dragged from their homes upon the
slightest suspicion, to be tried by juries
and tribunals organized to convict

colored people particularly, who have been

Hon. w. c.. WhitthOrne, in his &C
Ceptance speech before the Congressional
Convention, said the farmers movement,
which had well nigh spread all over the
Union. had ma lie itself felt in every de-
parsment of legislation--in the halls OF Con-
gress and in the State Legislatures. Its
influence, both direct and indirect, upon
the politics and politicians of the county,
had been wholesome and beneficial.
Gen. Whitthorne is correct. The farmers
movement has had a wholesome effect upon
the country, and especially upon politics.
inasmuch as it has caused the farmers
of the South, for the first time since the
war. to take an active interest in political
matters. Until recently they could not
be induced to take any part in the seiec-
lion of men for office, and their lndlner-
once in several elections caused the cleo
lion of inferior men, and in many In
stances bad men. But while we reJolce
that the farmers, who more than any
other class Of citizens are interested III
the making of laws, are throwing oil their
Indifference and taking an active part IN
politics; yet we fear they may make one
serious mistake. To make senselesS
war on towns and the professions Will
not only not benefit the farmers, but Will
iniure them. There is no conflict be-
tween them. In this connection we can
not do more than print an admirable eA
