Encouragement for the Feebic.


Debility, whether it be inherent. or caused
by oveItaxed strength, or protracted illness,
has a most depressing influence upon the
mind, breeding an AFFECT melancholy nearly
akin to despair. and enforcing the abandon
ment Of cherished projects and high hopes.
Happily, the enfeebled system, even in ex-
treme cases, is susceptible of in~vigoratiOn. IL
IS proved by incontTovertible evidence that
hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an unfailing
strengthener of the weak. and that in addition
to yitalizing the physical organization, it
establishes regularity among those organs
upon whose efficient discharge Of the duties
imposed on them by nature. continued vigor
and health depend. Thousands Of instances
might be cited to show the regeneratiag inlu-
debility. liver diseade, dyspepsia, nervous
ailments, constipation, intermittent fever,
urinary and uterine troubles, govt and rheu-
matism, and other maladies.

WASHINGTON, March IS The Mem.
phis (Tean.) p~ostofice seems to be quite
a bone of contention. With the candi-
dates are Charles Kortrecht (Republi-
cam, representing the old political Re-
publican wing, L. S. Koowlton. the
present deputy postmaster, who is
strongly pressed, and S. NJ. Gates Dem
ocrat), who is backed by the cotton
brokers and merchants. General A. j.
Vaughn (Democrat), president of the
Granger association of West Tenues-
see, is also being pushed for
the position, with good chances.
Ia the meantime, the Southern Repub.
%licans, who have been enjoying a mo-
nopoly OF the offices, are terribly alarmed
at the idea of any Democrat being ap
pointed. They have taken the field here
in force, and mean to resist any such
development Of the paciication policy
to the bitter end. They deny that such
appointments Of Democrats would pro-
duce any change in favor Of the Repub.
lican party, and insist on running the
machine in the old ruts.
THE QUESTION OF APPOINTMENTS
There ia a good deal Of discussion here
as to what is to become of the new
%paciication policy in its relation to
appointments. Up to this time, some
four .r five appointments Of Democrats
in Southern States, all fit and upright
men, have been made upon the sug-
gestion, as | understand, OF Judge Key,
who is undoubtedly sincere in his de.
sire for pacifcation and a reform in
the civil service. One Of the best OF
these appointments, the postmaster at
Lynchburg, Virginia, was killed off by
President Hayes himself, AID the others
have failed of confirmation in the senate
No Democrat has yet got into Office un.
der the new millennium, and the good
time coming seems to be a long ways

SHELBY county has made another
happy escape. A bill to change
the mode of paying costs of crimi-
nal prosecutions so as to tax coun-
ties with the costs of their own
criminal prosecutions was rejected
in the senate Monday night. That
kills it off for two years, whom it is
sure to come up again. This is
aimed specially at Shelby and Da-
wilson counties. 1t was barely de-
feated two years ago.

TIE aECEIVER's BILL as IT PASSED.

-
The only apology we have to
make for giving space and prefer
ence to the receivers bill and its
discussion for the past ten days is
the great importance Of the bill.
That this agitation has ~crystalized
public sentiment and brought forth
spontaneous expression, We feel
assured, and in this more than
repaid for our efforts. In stating
facts we have been free to express
such opinions as at the time seemed
correct. We publish the bill ipfull
to-day as it passed. 1t cannot take
effect until the mandamuses against
the city amount to $S5O,OOO. We
understand that from $4,000 TO
$4,000 more will have to be OBJ
tanned before a receiver can be
appointed, aud then only upon APP
plication Of The owners and holders
of past due bonds, coupons, or other
Indebtedness, amounting to not
less than 100000. These condi-
tons can easily be complied with,
and yet it is possible that the credi-
tors of the city may hold off and
no receiver be appointed at all.
The bill as amended, to quiet GER
tain opposition, contains some very
Objectionable features-one at least.
1t provides not only that the offices
usually filed by election, but that
all Offices not abolished by the act,
shall be elected at the time for hold
ing a regular municipal election.
This not only includes The recorder
and wharfmaster, but the comp
troller, treasurer, market-masters,
sergeant-at-arms, and the various
little petty Offices that have been
and always should be filed by ap-
pointment. We only wonder that
the policemen and fremen and
street force are mot likewise elected.
We hope, however, that the bill
may answer the purpose for which
j. was intended. Much credit is
due Mr. Milliken for pushing it
through the senate. Every mem
Der Of the Shelby delegation voted
for it, though one or two of them
with reluctance and doubt. The
governor viii doubtless sign it and
thus make the bill a law.

E0RE OF EkIE5 SOUTHERN POLICY
Colonel L. S. Msrye, formerly Of
Chattanooga, and q member Of the Ten
nessee SENATE from Hamilton county 10
1875. has been appointed postmaster at
L~ynchburg, Va, it is said. Colonel
Marye is a warm friend Of the postmaster
general, and voted for him for senator
when Andrew johnson was elected. biz
appointment ia an exceedingly ht and
proper oDe.-LKuozyill Tribune, 20tn
Colonel Marye is an excellent
gentleman and has many friends in
this city who would rejoice at this
good luck in dropping into a four
thousand dollar Office. But it will
be noticed in special dispatches from
Washington that Mr.. Marye
was displaced by President Hayes
a few days after the appointment,
and an ex.Federal soldier named
Jones was put in. The President
has announced the policy Of giving
the preference to Republicans over
Democrats, other things being
equal. A milk and cider Democrat
will not answer the uses of the
Republican party. Our Southern
friends who are disposed to gush
over the appointment of Mr.
Key as postmaster general may
as well learn this first as last. l
may save them from regrets here
after. Mr.. Hayes Southern polio,
has not developed itself yet. !
takes a good while for his policy t.
ripen. Whenever he removes th
troops from Louisiana and Soutl
Carolina and recognizes Nicholl
and Hampton as the legal gov
ernOrs OF those ctates, we shall
give him the credit Of sincerit
aud moral nerve. A few office
seekers and a few newspapers ma
be bought up with Federal patron

and we cannot be deceived again.
Let this administration treat the
Southern States as equals in the
Union and give us the Southern
Pacific railroad, and then we will
begin to feel that there is no North
and no South any longer, in a po-
litical sense, and no reason why a
man should be a Democrat in the
South more than in any other part
of the Union.
