with previous presidents. The rec.

the state house, and but for hi;
finding shelter in the L. s. custom
house in the capitol of the state oi
which he was governor, il il scqrce-
ly to be doubted that he W ould have

United States, for the aid of the
general government to suppress do
nestle violence. Under these cir
Ieumstances, and in accordance with
my sworn duties, my proclamation
of the 9th of September, 1874, was is
sued. This served 10 re. instate the
governor in his position. nOminally,
but il cannot b. claimed that the in
surgents have To- this day surrender
ed TO the state authorities the arms
belonging TO the state, or that they
have in any sense been disbanded.
On the contrary IL is known that
the armed organization that existed
on the 4th of September, 1874, In
opposition to the recognized state
government still retain their organ
izstion and can be called out at any
hour to assist in OVerturning the
state government. Under these cir
cumstaAces the same military force
has been continued in Louisiana as
was sent under the first call and I'M
der the same general instruction.
1 repeat, the task assumed by the
troops is not pleasant one to them
that the army is not composed of
lawyers capable of judging at a mo.
ment's notice of Just what power
they can exercise in the mainten.
ances of law and order; and that
1t was impossible to give specific
instructions providing for all posi-
Bile contingencies that might arise.
The troops were bound to act upon
the judgment OF the commanding
officers upon each sudden contin-
gency that arose; or wait instruc-
lions which could only reach them
after the wrongs had been commit
ted, which they were called upon to
prevent. Be it recolIected, too, that
on my recognition of the kellogg
government, L reported the fact
with the grounds of the recognition
10 congress, and asked that body to
take action in the matter; other.
wise should regard their silence as
acquiescing in my course. No ac-
ton has been taken by that body,
and have maintained the position
marked out. If error has been
committed by the army in these
matters it has always been on the
side of the preservation of good or
der, the maintenance of law, and |
the protection of life. Their bear.
ing reflects credit upon the soldiers,
and if wrong resulted, blame the |
turbulent elements swarming there. |
now earnestly ask that such action |
be taken by congress as to leave my
duties perfectly clear in dealing
with the affairs of Louisiana giving |
assurance at the same time that
whatever may be done by that BODY |
in the premises will be executed &C.
cording to the spirit and letter of
the law without fear or favor.

TffIea hTenna.see.

The Knoxville Tenn Chroni-
Gle has unearthed a system of
swindling that has been carried on
for some time in the mountain re-
gion of that State. It seems that
many parties residing in the
Northern States and in Canada
have been badly victlmized in the
purchase of mountain lands by
means of false maps and fraudu-
lent abstracts of title. The char
acter of the land law of Tennes-
see, regarding entry and survey, is
very weak, and not even the State
can be held responsible for a
wholesale and duplicate issuing of
land grants. Between the years
1886 and and 1850 the larg-
est portion of lands in Tennessee
were taken up and grants issued
by the State therefor. These
grants were based upon the sworn
of the several county
surveyors. The surveys were
never practically made; the same
surveyor in the same month, and
in some cases on the day, record
ing on his book surveys that over
Iapped and ran into each other.
Prior to 1872 there had been
granted in one of the mountain
over 100000 acres of
and, and since that date 100000 |
add tional acres, making a total |.
Of little over 100000 acres in q |
which can only contain |
within its boundary lines, all told |
100000 acres. This one county is
only cited as an instance, there
being many others that have been
and grants issued for
'hree or four times the amount of
and embraced within their res
oective limits. Another circum-
stance not generally known is,
hat the title of the State to a por-
ion of its territory is very defec-
I've. There is a strip of land run
ling six mile south of the present
inc of Kentucky, and being be-
ween the Tennessee River and
Cumberland Gap, the title to
which is not in Tennessee, but in
kentucky. but which, under the
that it was the property
# the former, has been granted by
hat State to parties several times
'ver. Kentucky has been doing
he same, and the consequence is
hat the land is pretty well cover
d with land titles.

Flight Fugitive slaves and Ilse
MAN That Could NOT be
IBOugEaf.
VII.

Mr.. John BeasIy, now deceased
lived within half a mile of my resi-
dence. Eight fugitive slaves in
mistake, went to his house instead
of coming to mine as they intended,
the head hired man, whom he did
trust with the knowledge of fugi-
lives being sheltered by him. Con-
sequently he brought them to nv
house in the night. In the morning
he brought over a large basket OF
provisions for the fugitiyes. He
said that If he .'could not keep
them, he had right TO feed them. -
lie brought over his wife to see
them. They were obliged to stay
Mt my house over the day. Passen-
gers on the Underground railway
had always to travel at night. In
the morning the slave hunters came
to town, and were in full view Of
my house. The fugitives saw their
horses, and knew them. Mr..
Beasly went to town and met one
ofthe hunters who said to him, ave
know that it is not popular for a
gentleman in Ohio to take up fugi-
tive slaves; but if you will tell us
where those slaves are, we will give
you a thousand dollars and TO man
shall know it," Ny house, with the
fugitives in it was in full view. He
could have pointed to it, and have
said, they are in that house, and
have gotten q thousand dollars, and
l would never have suspected him
for such betrayal. But he could
not be induced to do so vile a thing.
Benovolence is original in human
nature, implanted by the heart of
tho Creator, and 1t requires a great
amount of depravity to suppress its
promptings. Owing to this princi-
pie in our nature, 1t was natural for
all persons, with few exceptions, to
Sympathise with fugitive slaves and
to aid them on their way TO free
dom. Although prejudice against
negroes was extensive; yet there
was strong sympathy manifested in
every place where a fugitive slave
was captured. Consequently every
slave catcher was despised by all
the decent classes of society. Slave
holders themselves despised the
slave catcher. They knew that
every such man was destitute of
right principles, prompted by vile
motives. JOHN RANKIN.

THE PATRONS OF THE TEXAS GIFT
CONCERT ASSOCIATION AT DEN
ISON.

First Concert of the Texas Gift Conc ert
ments in tho City of DenisOn, Texas
Day Fixed and Full Drawing Assured
on the 31st Day of March. 1873.
Brlieving that all concerned will
appreciate our action as one for
their interest, and that a full and
complete drawing would be prefer
able to q partial pro rata drawing,
we have decided to make this short
postponement, as an act of justice
to the ticket holders and the pub
lie.
In announcing the 3lst day of De-
cember. 1874, as the first date, we
did not make due allowance for
delays incident to an enterprise of
such magnitude.
Night and day have the NAM
moth presses of VIM. F. Murphy
Sons, Philadelphia, been working in
our interest. The full working
force of the Denison News, Deni-
son Times, Dallas Commercial, and
Sherman Register, have been
brought into requesition in order
to furnish the necessary material
required to disseminate fully the
views and AFFECTS of our associa-
ton.
Although We have not succeeded
in disposing of the entire 100000
tickets, yet our success thus far
must be a matter of congratulation.
The Texas Gift Concert Associa-
ton, of Denison, is now a fced fact,
with over 5000 Agents scattered
over the United States and Canadas,
advertisements in over 1000 papers,
with the most complete and perfect
system in our Office; daily receiv.
ing thousands of orders for tickets,
and the most flatteriDg reports from
our agents-we can assure the pub
lie without doubt, that full draw
ing will take place positively on the
fixed. The extremely low price of
tickets compared with other enter
prlses of this kind, places a chance
in our Association within the reach
of all, and our success thus far has
fully demonstrated the wise policy
we adopted.
Thanking the public for their
generous response and liberal sup.
port given to our Association, and
pledging ourselves to faithfully
carry out the agreement with them.
We remain, yours respectfully

POISONED TO Death.

A healthy liver secretes each day
about two and half pounds of bile,
which contains q great amount of
waste material taken from the
blood. When the liver becomes
torpid or congested, it fails to elm
mate this vast amount of noxious
substance, which, therefore, remains
ID poison the blood and be convey
ed to every part of the system.
What must be the condition of the
blood when it isa receiving and re-
tanning each day two and a half
pounds of poison? Nature tries to
work off this poison through other
channels and organs-the kidneys,
lungs, skin, etc. but these organs
become overtaxed in performing
this labor, in addition to their nat
ural functions, and cannot long
Withstand the pressure, but become
variously diseased.
The brain, which is the great GEN.
tire of all vitality, is unduly stimu-
lated by the unhealthy blood which
passes to il FROM the heart, and it
fails to perform its office healthful-
ly. Hence the symptoms of bile
poisoning, which are dizziness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind
on any subject, impairment of men,
DRY, dizzy, sleepy, or nervous feel
ings, gloomy forebodings and irri-
liability of temper. The blood it
self being diseased, as it forms the
sweat upon the surface of the skin,
is so irritating and poisonous that
il produces discolored brown spots,
pimples, blotches and other erup-
tons, sores, boils, carbuncles and
scrofnlous tumors. The stomach,
bowels, and other organs spoken of,
cannot escape becoming affected,
sooner or later, and costiYeness,
piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhea,
female weakness, and many other
forms of chronic disease, are among
the necessary results. AS remedy
for all these manifestations of dis
ease, DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery with small daily doses of
his Pleasant Purgative Pellets are
positively uneQualed. By them the
liver and stomach are changed to
an active and healthy state, the ap-
petite regulated and restored, the
blood and seeretions thoroughly pu-
rifed and enriched, and the whole
sy stem renovated and built up
anew. Sold by all first-class drug
gists and dealers in medicine.
