The Mos, precious Of Gin.

Health is unden ably more precious Gift
than riches, honor or power Who would exchange it
for these the chief objects of human ambition? 1t is
obviously the part of wisdom to employ means for
the preservation Of health and the prolonga.
ton of which time and experience have
proved to be reliable. Many of the dangers by
which health is threatened may be nullifed by the
use of that most irresistible of correctives and toncs
Hostetter's Stomach Bttters, which. by increasing
vital power and rendering the physical functions
regular and active, Keeps the system in good work :

Mr.. Kortrecht Explain.

Te the Editor Of the Ledger:
You are greatly in error in the cbarpes
you made about me in an article in your
yesterdays issue. | never borrowed 5000
nor any sum in gold from q lady, nor
from any one aud paid it back in green.
backs, nor did | ever, by a threatening
letter, nor otherwise, COMPEL Captain
Bond or any one else to :pay $500 in
gold. The first of the above statements
can alone relate to a transaction in 1863
in which $l60 was borrowed from me in
g%reenbacks for a lady's use and $40 in
gold left With me as security. Fifteen
mouths afterward Mr.. B. NJ. Estes. one
of the first lawyers in Memphis, brought
me my receipt for the gold, repaid me
the loan in greenbsoks and | returned tho
gold TO him precisely as l received it.
The other OF above statements, | sup.
pose, refers to a case in which, in Janu.
airy, 1862, a receiver in the Chancery
Court wal under arrest by the order Of
Chancellor George Dixon, for disobeying
orders OF the court to pay money into
court in bis hands as receiver. and |
procured his discharge by becoming re-
sDonsible for the money. When | did
this he promised to pay the money within
ten days. Two-and-one-half years passed
and it was still unpaid. County.eficers
had then been elected and civil govern
ment e'estsblished in Shelby county.
| was pressed by those to whom the
greater part Of the money was going to
pay up fer said receiver, and on inquiry
was told he was trading in cotton and
making money. l thereupon wrote him
a letter which resulted in his paying the
amount-not in gold but in currency.
This, | suppose, is the threatening letter
referred to. If so, / stand by whatever
it contains. If the family Of said re.
ceiver (who is since dead) desire the pub.
LEGATION Of that letter, | shall not object
provided the true history of the case is
given.
l further deny that | had ANY more to
do with employing Mr.. Pickett as super.
intendent Of the Memphis schools than
the majority Of the school board who
employed him, nearly all of whom were
Democrats. l supposed this had been
sufficiently ventilated from the LEDGER
standpoint at the time. But if YOU
think it will make Democratic votes | do
not object to its further discussion.
Very respectfully,

An Tnramouo PnI.onoo1

To the Editor Of the Ledger:
At the National speaking last night a
So-called lawyer who haunts the police
tribunal and Offices of magistrates, made
an %incendiary speech,i in which he sverred
that the Democrats were accustomed 10
hire negroes just before the election. and
alter they had picked cotton would run
them away with a shotgun. He said he
had known Of such occurrences, and
would willingly face any mar and make
this statement. Such speeches are cal.
eulated to create a very bad feeling and
to prom ote mischief. When Richmond
was in that woman scrape he was not so
bold. VRRITAs
Richmond is a specimen Of the aver.
age National Republican. The writer
knows him, aud knows no good of this
individual.

Mr., John A. Strehl, the Democratic

the subject of unjust abuse by the Radi.
Gals and Nationals. They have tried TO
create the impression that he is being
traded off by the Democrats. This is
false, and was originated by malicious
and designing demsgogues, a fact which
the public now know. His enemies
having failed to accomplish his defeat by
honest weapons Of warfare, and con-.
scious that he is by no means a "slow

moment resort to the usual bad practices
OF the ~demoralized, and are busy in cir
%culating reports - that Mr.. Strehl has
been slaughtered in the house Of his

is to catch the honest German vote, but
the weak device won't win. And failing
in this desperate effort, they now secret.

that Mr.. Strehl has withdrawn. To the

reports. John A. Strehl has nailed his
