A Harvest of Health.

Those who use Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as a means of IMMIGRATION and
protection against disease, invariably
reap an ample harvest of health. Diges-
ton, excretion and secretion are render
ed regular and vigorous by this ruling
tonic and Alternative, and the essentials
of health being secured, that blessing
naturally follows, Nervous disease, in
termittent and remittent fevers, rheu-
matism, biliousness, and kidney or blad-
der troubles are speedily relieved by the
Bitters, which are as potent in prevent
ing these maladies rs in remedying them.
And it may almost be said that their
power of preventing diseases is as strong
a recommendation in their favor as their
power of curing them, especially in To-
caiities where fehrile complaints of an
Intermittent type prevail, and where the
ordinary resources OF the pharmacopmia,
such as quinine, arsenic, bismuth, etc,
afford no adequate safeguard.
The Bitters are also highly desirable as
a substitute for the ordinary nervines
and sedatiVes. The hydrate of choral
and the bromide of potassium are both
highly pernicious drugs, the first cloud
ing the brain and, it is said weakening
the tonicity of the venous system; and
the latter running the digestion and in
fecting the blood Hostetter's Bitters
achieves the remedial purpose of both
these medicines, which is to sOOthe the
brain and nerves, without causing any
hurtful after effects, but on the contrary,
toning as well as soothing the irritated

uses this supeFlative vegetable nervine,
finds in 10 a source of unspeakable relief,
and of unwonted vitality as well.

WAYS THAT Ire DIRK

No stronger evidence Of the utter
hopelessness of Randolph's chances
for election to Congress could be
produced than is offered by the bare
faced, contemplate falsehoods which
his supporters are circulating re
specting the political record of Mr..
Mcfarland. To drive the colored
voters to Randolph's support they
even stoop so low as to tell them
that Mcfarland, since being in Con-
gress, has favored measures the pur-
pose Of which is to reduce them
again to servitude. They seem to
forget that the colored man is capa-
BILE of thinking and reasoning for
himself when they insult his intelli-
gence by asking him to believe lie
so plain and absurd as that. But
the colored people have too much
sense 10 swallow the dose. The lie
is too plain-its falsity too apparent.
The day has passed when colored
voters are to be frightened by such
nonsense.
Another lie. so mean and malig-
nant, that the father of lies himself
might blush to be the author Of, is
that Mcfarland favors payment by
the government for the emancipated |
slaves proposition so utterly fool
ish and false that the lie appearE
upon its very face. These are but
two instances OF tie many petty ef-
forts to excite the fears or arouse
the prejudices of the people against
one Of the most industrious. faithful
and deserving public servants that
our District has ever had.
Whether or not Judge Randolph
is the instigator or abettor Of these
infamous ISLANDERS We do not know;
but be that as it may. they are cir
by his friends, or those pur-
porting 20 be such, and the people
will hold him responsible. III they
are true, let him, when he comes be-
fore the people on the stump, prove
hem to be so I; IL they are false-and

THE FIRST CONGRESSIONAL
nTQTDTOTJ
Knoxville Daily Age.

The Republican party of the First
Congressional District have won the
profound respect of their political op.
ponents. This is so seldom the case
that it is the subject of remark
throughout the State of Tennessee.
Two years ago the leaders Of that
party put forward the Hon. Roderick
Random Butler as q candidate for
Congress. At the time there was
an indictment pending against Mr..
Butler at Washington City for de-
frandiag the government. Mr.. Butler
and the Leaders Of the Republican
party thought this would not be- OBJ
jectionable to the people of his Dis
trict and the voters of their party.
But in this they were sadly mistaken.
They were mistaken in supposing
that there was not an honest portion
of their own party who would not en-
dorse corruption and frown down a
want of principle in leader even of
their own party.
The Democrats put forward Hon.
William Mcfarland who had no very
general acquaintance with the people
of the District before his candidacy.
but who. wherever he was known was
esteemed as gentleman. and a man
of honor and integrity. A sufficient
number of honest men of the Repub-
lican party either did not vote at all,
or voted for Mcfarland. and he was
elected. He has made an industrious,
faithful and able representative. He
has been q credit to his Congression-
al District. and so far as we can
learn, the state OF public opinion of
his constituents we have very little
doubt but that he will be reelected.
His opponent is the Hon. James
Randolph. Judge Randolph has been
on the bench several years. We do
not know that any distinct charges
of corruption have been made against |
him. but he has been charged with |
making quite display of his pas
sions and prejudices while acting in
the dignified position of Judge on
the bench. We have also heard it
said that he is by no means an able
Judge. and possesses no more judg-
ment and knowledge of the law, and
not so much as some of our Justices.
We do not believe that the Republi-
cans or this District will swap off
we'll tried and faithful servant like
Mr.. Mcfarland for one who has made
no reputation as Judge. aud has
displayed no qualifications showing
3 fitness for seat in Congress. We
shall be very much disappointed il
The good sense and honesty of the
people Of the First Congressional
District don't determine a majority
Of the voters of the District TO cast
heir votes for Mr.. Mcfarland, who
has proven himself an able represen-
ative and every way qualified to
'epresent them most creditably in
he Congress OF the United States.

We have received the first number
of large and handsomely printed sheet

Vigor of its editorials, its well-filled To-

- Frog Hollow was the scene of much
eommotion and confusion the other
night. One of its blushing beauties be-
ing suddenly aroused from her peaceful
slumber, by loud crash that came from
the kitchen, jumped up quickly from
stick, and proceeded in the direction of
the kitchen on tip-toe in very cautious
and nervous manner to investigate.
Having reached the door-latch safely,
she quietly and stealthily-like opened the
door and trembling in every joint, shout
ed, scat ! SCAT scat Hterei!! Had not
the cat answered her at this critical mo-
ment by a "meawl, she doubtless would
have tainted. Into the kitchen she went
and upon examination found that Miss
Pussy had been locked out, but having
an inclination to roost in the inside
had jumped through window-sash that
was covered with stiff brown paper.
The cat being hungry, of course set her
catship to hunting up something to sat-
isfy her appetite, so up she jumped upon
the shelf, where she knew the dame
usually kept cold beans and cabbage.
While scrambling about on the shelf
pussy came in contact with mouse,
and in trying to make sure game upset
glass tumbler, smashing it all to atoms,
and the noise frightening her caused her
to carry off coffee-canister by the end
of her tail as she sprang to the floor, also
breaking that valuable property to
housewives all to pieces. The lady see
ing the damage done, with a scorn on
her brow snatched up the cat to throw
it out the window; but the cat while the
young lady was viewing the wreck had
managed to get hold of the mouse, and
the young lady in taking hold of the
cat by some means let her hand come
close enough to the rats mouth for that
shy little animal to bite it. She scream
ed. Coal oil was recommended, and the
house was again locked in slumber.

" A ehort time eiroo :

- A short time since, at a village
near Cincinnati. negro shot and
killed his son, while the latter was
protecting his mother from the vic-
lence of his father. Also in the same
cause another son was beaten with
musket by the same affectionate pa
rent, and left for dead upon the floor.
This is Gov. Hayes's own State, and
it is highly important that it should
give him a majority in November.
Where then are the Federal troops,
to quell these disturbances? Theae
murders, it is clear, were only per-
petrated because the mother aud the
sons were Republicans in their ten
denotes, and the righteous head of
the household was earnest in his ad.
vocacy of Democratic principles.
How is it, when Alabama has shown
the observation-disclosures of the soldiers
in the South. they are not removed
to these Northern scenes of outrage?

GOV. HARRIS DECLINES.
From the Nashville American.

From the Nashville American.
The patriotic and self-sacrifcing
letter of Gov. Harris, declining a
place on the electoral ticket, will
not surprise those who know the
man. The same earnest love of
country which made him true to his
convictions and an active and prom.
inent leader in the past, make him
the earnest patriot, the true Union,
conservative Democrat to-day. He
has shown himself ready to labor
and encounter any peril for his con-
victions and his country. He gives
a great proof by his ability to stand
aside and endure for his convictions
to-day. We are 10th to believe that
past opinions and war issues could
form a part of the discussions of a
centennial year. It is highly hon,
orable to Gov. Harris that the bare
intimation that such might be the
case determines him to decline q
canvass where there is a possibility
that a vote might be lost to the par
ty whose principles he warmly es-
pouses.
The letter of declination speaks
for itself. 1t breathes warm, living
spirit of nationality and true patri-
otism. He is a power on the stump.
His ability as debater and his con-
sentative sentiments would have
been convincing proof of the ma.
tional sentiment of our people. His
return to public life would have sig
nifed the deep interest of our pub
lie men of capacity in national AT.
fairs All this, however, is accom-
plished in his letter yielding the
trust, and more. too. In this noble
example OF selEabuegation is a les
son for our rising politicians to learn
and practice, holding the public
veal far above the private ambition.
There is one thing of which we may
be assured. The writer of that let.
ter will be found an active laborer
in a private station, if circumstan-
ces seemed to him to deny him, as
the well-wisher of his party and its
principles, the post Of standard
bearer.
