A Chance for Doctors.

A prize of e100 for an essay on hy-
drophobia, its nature, prevention and
treatment, having been offered by Mr..
Stanford, M. p, TO be awarded by the
Roval College of Physicians of London,
the Marquis of Salisbury has instructed
the British Minister at Washington to
bring the matter to the attention OF the
Department of State, that the necessary
publicity may be given to the same in
the United States. The conditions un-
der which the above prize is to be
competed for are, that the essay must
be in English, or accompanied by an
English translation, and be deliveredto
the college on or before Jan. l, 1880.
The essay must be accompanied by a
sealed envelope, containing the name
and address of the author, and bearing
a motto on the outside; the same motto
to be inscribed on the essay, and may
be the Joint production of two or more
authors. If not published by the author
within a year. it is to become the prop
erty of the college. The prize win not
be awarded unless an essay of sufficient
merit be presented. The questions
which are thought by the college spe-
cially to require investigation are: The
origin and history of outbreaks of
rabies, particularly in the United King
dom and its dependencies; the best
mode of prevention of rabies, and the
characteristics of rabies during life, and
the anatomical and chemical changes
which are associated with the disease in
its successive stages, particularly in its
commencement; the origin of hydro
phobia in man, and the chemical and
anatomical morbid changes observed
in the subjects of the disease, with spe-
cial reference to those having their seat
in the organs of the nervous system
and in the saliVary glands; the symp-
toms of the disease, particularly it its
early stage, as illustrated in well-Ob-
served cases, and the diagnosis of the
|. disease in doubtful cases, from condi-
tions mere or less resembling II, to-
gether with the alleged prolonged laten-
CIV of the malady, and the efficacy OF
the various remedies and modes of pre-
venting the disease, which have been
proposed, and what plan of treatment,
whether prophylatic or curative, il
would be most desirable to recommend
for future trial. Washington Post.

The Commercial Convention,

The following resolutions were passed
by the Commercial Convention held at
Chicago on the 18th and 18th:
fesolved, That the combined prosperity of
agricultural, manufacturing, mining and com
mercial interests of the country cannot be Sc
cured without such a development OF com
merce with other countries as will offer
ready and growing market for our surplus
products, and to insure this IL is the duty OF
Congress to promote and by all wise and CON
stitutional measures aid the opening and i'm
provement of such lines OF transportation by
land and water as one of general and national
Importance.
Resolved, That the high rates upon freight
and passenger traffic charged by the Union
Pacific Railroad make this the only highway
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, monopoly
as burdensome as II is exclusive, and we call
upon Congress to take measures at the com
ing session to compel these corporations,
which owe their existence to the liberality OF
the nation, to fulfill their obligations.
Resolved, That the interests of the Govern
ment and people alike demand the early com
pletiOn of competing lines Of railroads TO the
Pacific and We therefore earnestly desire
Congress TO grant material aid to the Texas
Pacific Railroad, and 10 extend the time for
completion of the Northern Pacific Railroad.
Resolved That direct trade with countries
living south of the United States, which is de
! sired by them, and will be most profitable tC
| us, cannot be entered upon or conducted sue
| cessfully without mail facilities which II /;
| the province of the Government to furnish
and we therefore recommend an immediate
provision by Congress for the Ocean Mai
Service, between the chief ports of the United
States and all important commercial points ol
the coast of South America, in American
built and owned ships.
Resolved That suitable and cheap water
line permanently navigable by steamers o
1000 TONS burden should be opened up be
tween the waters of Virginia and North CaI
olina, as ameans of enabling the greatest par
of the domestic shipping of the AtlantlN coas
} TO avoid the dangers OF Cape Hatteras; an
we commend this measure TO the fayorabl
consideration Of Congress.
Resolped, That a committee of one from eae
State represented In this convention be az
pointed and charged with the duty of visitin

olutions of the convention 20 the Presder

Matters in the Chancellor's race are
getting down to a fine point. Until
recently it was almost impossible to
hear any candidates name mentioned
except Mayfield and Bradford. As it
now stands Mayfield will undoubtedly
he elected, He will make a divide of
the Democratic vote in the district and
he will also get a large majority of the
Republican vote-provided no Repub-
lican announces for the same position
and at this writing we have not the
remotest idea that any Republican de-
sires to make the race. However, GER
tam Democratic wire-wOrkers express
a dread and are doing all in their pow
err TO have a convention called. Their
game seems to be to get another Dem
ocrat to announce himself so as to give
the party an excuse to cali a conven-
ton. We have heard it said that Mr.,
Richmond, of Chattanooga, is the man
that Is to announce in order to have an
excuse to call q Democratic Conven-
ton. In case Of q convention 1t is use
less to say that matters are all "fXed'
and that Mayfield will not re-
ceiye the nomination. We are told they
have everything ready and arc doing
all in their power to get up Il conVen-
ton. A few weeks ago Judge Hoy
"read his titles clear" but since Jesse
Gaut has ced-and NorthruT
already boring with n big auger, Hoy
is beginning t. feel a little uneasy and
is clectioneering like n "little man.
Just how matters will shape themselves
In the next few weeks It is hard to tell
but there is going to be a big row In
the Democratic camps shortly. Wead-
wise all the Republicans to clay low
and not make any promise yet to any
one. 1t would be murder in the first
degree for the Republicans in this Ju-
dicial circuit to sell out to the Democ-
racy when their majority is but a little
over two hundred votes. The general
impression is that The Democratic ma
iority in the circuit is nearly n thous-
and, but this is all false. Their major
ity don't reach three hundred votes at
the highest, and we earnestly protest
againt the Republican party selling out
on such small figures,

Grand COmmandery Knights Templar.
The Annual COHclavc of the Grand
Commandery of knights Templar of
Tennessee has been in session at Nash
Vile during the past week. There was
a grand banquet given to the visiting
Knights, by the Nashville Comman-
derry, at the Maxwell House, which was
an occasion Of great %brilliancy. The
competitive drill took place Oh the pub
lie square Friday afternoons in the
presence of five thousand people. The
display of beautiful women was daz-
cling. Murfreesboro, Jackson, Cyrene
and st. Elmo Communicates entered
the lists. Each drilled 30 minutes. AT
the reception Friday night it was an
nounccd that s.. Elmo Commandery
had been awarded the prize, which was
a solid Commander = Jewel, with a dia-
mond in the center. 1t cost $50. The
award was received with applause. The
contest was close, the drilling of all
the Communicates being superb.
The following Grand officers were
elected for the ensuing Templar year:
Grand Commander-Wilbur +. Fos-
ter, Nashville.
Deputy Grand Commander-G. C..
Conner, Chattanooga.
Grand GeneralissimO-J. II. Russell,
Columbia.
Grand Captain Gencral-W. d. Rob-

An ImpOstnr.

We notice in the Jasper Herald that q
man calling himself William Forest
was struck with an epileptic fit and fell
to the ground. Those sympathizing
with his condition made him up a sum
of fifteen dollars and presented him
with it. The Herald thinks him Il hum
bug which do doubt he is. A gentle
man writing us from Georgetown says
the same fellow passed through that
place and was also "struck with a fit"
but refused to be doctored. The peo-
pie around Georgetown believe him to
be an impostor, and it would be well
for other communities to look out for
him and if he comes around give him a
dose of tar and feathers.

From the Knoxville Chronicle.

The recent sensation reports from
Florida, intended to cast a shadow on
Mr.. Hayes title to the Presidency, are
of Importance only as they exhibit the
beating of the Democratic pulse. The
fact is, the Democratic leaders arc
alarmed lest the next House of Repre-
sentative should be Republican. We
think they have just cause for alarm,
as the indications point clearly to just
such a result. TO prevent this, the
Democratic machine is at word. Dem
o%cratic politicians are %resorting to the
tactics they have practiced so long-thC
only tactics they appear to know any
thing about. They intend to talk about
fraud, and fraud only, in the campaign
of next fall. 1t was for this purpose
that the celebrated Glover committee
was appointed. Glover went a-fishing
for Republican rascals, but so far he
has caught only Democratic ~rascals.
Despalring of anything from that
source, the eyes Of the leaders turned to
other fields, and Florida was decided
upon. The weak and impccnious
McLin was cornered and hired to tell
something. lie made his confession
and 10, aud behold, when it came TO
light there was nothing in it.! What
will come next we can not tell, but
certainly something of the same ma
ture.
1t is a regular ground hog case.
Democratic bread and butter depends
upon It. Unless something more is
found upon which to base a howl about
"frauds," Democratic campaign
speeches this summer and fall will be
the tamcst sort Of productions. 10
prevent this the leaders are making all
this prodigiour effort,
