Relief OF Neuralgia.

As this dreadful disease is becoming
more prevalent than formerly, and as
the doctors have not discovered any
method or medicine that will parma
nently cure it, we simply state that for
some time past member OF our family
has suffered most intensely from it, and
could find no sure relief from any rem
edy applied, until we saw an article,
which we re-published, recommending
the application of bruised horsersdish
to the wrist, for the cure of toothache.
As neuralgia and toothache are both
nervous diseases, we thought the RENE
dy for the one would likely give relief
for the other, so we made the applica-
ton, and were truly gratifed that the
simple application of horssradish, bruis-
ed and applied to the wrist on the side
of the body where the disease was seat
ed, gave almost instant relief to severe
attack of neuralgia. Since then we
have applied it several times, and with
the same gratifying results. Therein
dy is simple, cheap, and may be within
the reach of every oner-Laa0reneo-
viIic He aid.

OUR CONDITION,

And first, let us take a rapid glance
at our condition, in order that we may
better understand the embarrassments
that surround us and the extent of the
work that is before us in the endeayor
to bring back the prosperous days of
the old times, when all were happy,
all were contented.
We have in Tennessee, in round
numbers, 1850, 900 people, of all ages,
sexes and colors, being about one
thirtieth part of the whole population
of the United States.
Estimating the sum required each
year for the support of the Govern
ment of the United States, and raised
by taxation, to be 100000, 0O0-and
the average sum for the past ten years
has considerably exceeded this estimate
and having regard to numbers
alone as the measure of the division of
that tax, the people of Tennessee would
have to pay annually as their contribu-
ton the sum of so, 000,0 900.
Ten millions of dollars! But al
though we have within our borders one
thirtieth part of the population of the
United States, we possess, according to
the census returns of 1870, only one
sixtieth part of the wealth of the
country. Much of this revenue is
raised by imposts upon articles of
prime necessity, and by taxes upon
luxuries like whiskey and tobacco,
which the rich and the poor alike con-
sumo; yet much of it is raised by du-
ties upon merchandise that is bought
and used by the rich alone, or mainly
by the rich.
Having regard to wealth as furnish
ing the measure of consumption and
consequently of taxation, the people of
Tennessee pay only $4,000, 900 of this
$500, 100000. Having regard tC
numbers, we have seen that we would
pay S10,000,000. Taking both num-
bers and wealth into view, we are
warranted in assuming that our part
of the tax is 81 100000.
A part of this tax is paid in gold
now at a premium of say twelve az,
per cent; and all the goods and wares
upon which the taxes are assessed
come to the consumer after at leas
two, and generally greater numbel
of exchanges, on each of which 8
profit must be paid; and for thi
premium and these profits we ma.
safely add 80 per cent. being 81, 500
600, which, added to the $1,000 900
make in all s10,O00,0O0. | am con

The Pennsylvania Republican State
Convention met on the Goth ult. at
Lancaster. The proceedings were
harmonious and great enthusiasm was
manifested. Governor Hartranft was
renominated by acclamation, and
Henry Rswle, of Erie, was nominated
for Treasurer. The resolutions favor
protection to home industry, cheap
transportation, free banking, and a
safe and uniform national currency,
adjusted to the growing wants OF the
business interests of the country,
equalization OF soldiers bounties, and
the speedy ad djustment Of all claims
arising out Of the late war. A reso-
luton was adopted unequivocally de-
claring against third term, and an
other as clearly opposing the doctrine
of State rights, The administration
of President Grant was indorsed.
