the State here rose and said he had proposi-

aud that the convention take recess TO such

THAT Quinine will cure Chills and Fever is
well known. But it is strange that the other feb
rifuge principles contained in Peruvian bark are
more powerful than Quinine, and do not pro-
duce any annoying head symptoms like buzz
ing in the ears. This fact is proved by Dr.
F. Wilhoft's Anti-Periodie or Fever and Ague
Tonic, which is a preparation of Peruvian
bark, without Quinine, according to the decla-
ration Of its proprietors, Wheelock, Finlay &

At half-past twelve O'Clock yoster-
day the ChickaSaw Guards and tho
Bluff City Grays arrived in the city at
the Memphis and Charleston railroad
depot covered with dust and glory, all
in good humor with themselves and
the world generally, and red hot all

They were met at the depot by a
large number Of friends and specta
tors, also by Saxby's brass band, the
stay-at-home end of the Chickasaw
Guards, and the Memphis Light
Guards. The soldiers. in full uniform,
had turned out with music to escort
the returning veterans in a style suit
able to the occasion and the honors
they had won. The procession formed
with the brass brand in the van, the
escort portion Of the Chickasaws
followed by those of the company who
had been up to Chattanooga. Then
came the Bluff City Grays, and the
gallant Light Guards brought up the
rear. In this order the column

marched to their armory, on the

Light Guards. Again there was a
liberal flow of refreshments and some
very happy speech-making by the cap

occasion, After an hour or so spent
very pleasantly in the most cordial
spirit, all dispersed to their respec-

of the two companies in the match

Judge Key on State Riehts.


Wash. Special to Cincinnati Commercially
The following is an extract from a
private letter written by Postmaster
General Key to a personal friend in
Tennessee
The Northern people believe they
were successful in our late contest
They assert that this contest was in
favor Of the Union and that the ma
tional government is the paramount
authority and represents and embodies
the elements of National sovereignty
and that the authority of the States
is subordinate thereto. AS long as
slavery existed there was good reason
why the slave States should adhere to-
the doctrine of State rights. They
had a domestic institution which did
not belong to all the States, and which
largely had to depend on State author
ity and power to maintain it. Bnt
now that institution is gone, and
know OF no special prerogatiyes or in
situations belonging to us, or recurring
our support, that do not belong to all
the States alike. A great mistake in
the South is the idea some of our peo
pie have that the Federal government
is the enemy Of the States, and conse-
quently their passions and pYeiudices
are often excited against it. When YOU
look around you can find no lust rea-
son for this. The benefits conferred ON
our people by the Federal oovernman,
are not considered and appreciated az
they should be. Look at our postal
system, and the expenditures for river
improvements, and public buildings,
etc. All this costs, in our State, at
least, more than the revenues raised
in Tennessee by the Federal govern
ment.

The United States war steamer
Waehusett was still fast at Ben Lo-
mOnd, sixty-ive miles above Yicks-
burg, on Friday last. The prospects
favored her speedy release, however.
The vessel is drawing seventeen feet
of water and there was but eighteen
feet on the bar when she grounded.
AS the river has since then swollen
considerably the chances are that the
vessel will arrive here during the
present week.
The best tickled spectator at the
fireworks on the night of the
4" Fourth, was our good humored
fellow-citizen, Count Chamberlain.
The count became a candy butcher
for this occasion only, adding lemon
ade and other garnishments to the
business. He worked like a Turk all
day and all night, had a dozen assist
ants, and wound up S25 in cash short,
with a dozen empty buckets and a box
of gingerbread as his remaining assets,

Ront Race.
Missouri Republican, June 8O.l

Missouri Republican, June S0.l
One Of the sporting events of YES
terday was a thrilling boat race on the
river, witnessed by az interesting and
highly excited Thong on the ieyee.
The account Of the event is thus given
by a reliable observer
AZ f;50 am. the steamer j. B. M.
hehlor and the East st. Louis Eleva-
tor started from the lMatter's position
for a race to the bridge. The Elevator
sold second in pools from the fact that
the Kehlor had been training and
working hard for fourteen days for a
start.
The track was in splendid condition,
free from dust and no wind. After
the start the Kehlor had it her own
way for half an hour, gaining slowly
but surely on the Elevator, but when
the Kehlor's jackstaf got as far as the
midship gangway of the Elevator the
captain of the Elevator " shook her
up" and now the race became exeit-
ing. 1t was neck-and-neck for one
hour, when the Elevator got warmed
up and passed the Kehlor under way.
Lateral II am. the Elevator
had taken the Kehlor in tow and was
landing her,
Still LATER-At 11:3O am. the
tow line had been either parted or cast
off, and the Kehlor had given up the
race and left the track with her head
down stream.
Upon the levee the betting among
the negroes was very lively, the odds
among these astute boatmen being on
the Elevator from the start. The
scene at the conclusion Of the race
wss a hilarious one.

Pittsburg Post.l
The two Republican morning news.
papers of Cleveland, Ohio, are having
a high old newspaper war. The singu-
lar feature about the fight is the fact
that this encounter has taken a legal
turn. This is a very novel feature.
While the newspapers as a rule are
very apt to display in Mir columns
sharp controversial quavkies in the
race for latest and exclusive news,
this is the first instance we can recall
where the parties have appealed to-
court and the law to settle their differ
ences. 1t appears from all accounts
that a young man named Rice, re-
porter of the Leader, got the bulge"
on the Herald boys by Selling
the manuscript of the annual
address of the president of the
superintendent's section of the
Ohio Teachers Association. There
was only one copy in existence, and so
the Herald reporters followed young
Rice on his way home, and when in a
comparatively retired place, one
grasped and pinioned his arms, while
another went through him for the
manuscript. Then, at the in~stigation
of the Leader, Rice swore out a war
rent and had the three reporters ar
rested for highway robbery. And
now both papers are barking back and
forth with great asperity, one threat
ening to push matters to the full ex-
tent Of the law and the other hurting
back defiance. 1t is the funniest
newspaper quarrel we have come
across for some time, viewed from this
distance.
