The Democratic club was organized in
this city to reform the party. That was
a noble object. If there is party that
needs to be reformed it is the Democratic
party. But, alas! AT the first election
for officers the ballot box was stuffed.
seven ballots were taken out of the box.
That, too. in reform club. This has
caused a great deal of talk in Democratic
circles, and now it is proposed to get up
a reform club to reform the reform club.

The Price of Corn

FFNo,'' the honest farmer remarked, in
tones of the deepest detection "the big
crops don't do us bit of good. What's
the use? Corn only thirty cents. Ev-
erybody and everything's dead set agin
the farmer. Only thirty cents for corn !!
Why, by gum, it won't pay our taxes, let
alone buy us clothes. 1t won't buy us
enough salt to put up barrel of pork.
Corn only thirty cents! By jocks, it's a
liVin', cOld-blo0ded swindeed swindle OH
the farmer, that's what it is. It amt
worth raisin' corn for such price as
that. It's mean low robbery" Within
the next ten days that man had sold SO
much more of his corn than he had in
tended, that he found he had to buy corn
to feed through the winter with. The
price nearly knocked him down. "Wha :"
ne yelled, ''thirty cents for corn
Land alive-thirty cents. What are you
givin' us? Why l don't want to buy
your farm, only want to buy some corn
Thirty cents for cornl Why, l believe
there's nobody left in this world but a
set of graspin', blood snckin' old misers.
Why, good land, you don't want to be
able to buy a national bank with one corn
crop. Thirty cents for corn! Well, I'll
let my cattle an horses run on corn stalks
all winter before I'll pay such an unheard
of outrageous price for corn as that
| Why, the country's flooded with corn
| and thirty cents a bushel is blamed rob
berry, an don't see how man, lookin'
| a the crop we've had, can have the fact
To ask such price.

The Knoxville Chronicle says that the
fact that the notes of the Bank of Ten
nessee, issued in 1862, whose receiva-
bility for taxes has just been affirmed by
a majority of the United States Supreme
Court, in the face of the reconstructed
Tennessee Constitution, which declared
them void, were issued in aid of the re-
bellion, is notorious. 1t also quotes from
the deposition of Gov. Harris, in a case
involving the legality of certain transact
ions of the Union and Planters banks in
1861, to show that the Bank of TENN
essee was i'll collusion with Gov. Harris
in forcing, at the point of the bayonet,
those two banks to take, in conjunction
with the Bank of Tennessee, five millions
of the bonds of the State of Tennessee,
issued to raise and equip troops. The di-
rect effect of this outrageous decision
comes on the people of Tennessee; its log
ical consequence carries these war bonds
also, and beyond this it reaches to all the
war debts of the late Confederate States
These, however, they have handy way

WHAT ADA's PHYSICIANS SAY.


Being the family phi ysician of Ada's
fathers family, and attending her during
her sickness, had an opportunity of wit
Messing the beneficial fects of the La

it with great success III Iny practice. 1t
pnrifies the blood, equalizes the circula-
tion, and corrects the functions of the
stomach and liver as well as of the kid
neys, lungs and heart. It has gentle,
stimulating effect upon the system, and
enables it TO throw off all the morborotic
matter in the blood and secretions, and
assist nature in restoring a patient labor
ing under almost any imaginable form
and character of disease. In fact, [ am
almost Convinced that it will very soon
be the leading medicine used by the
medical profession. if not the only one.
JOHN ROSS, NJ. D.,

Having been one of Ala's consulting
physicians, aud having frequently met
DR.. Ross at her sick bed, | can testify that
never in my life have [ seen any one SO
very sick and reduced to such IA low state
IF vitality that ever recovered, and am
convinced, beyond all doubt, that had il
not been for her Lacupia she could never
have recovered.
I have been so much interested in this
new found medicine that L have made re-
peated and extensive chemical examina-
tions of it, and at the same time expert
mented with it both in my private and
hospital practice, and am convinced thai
it is one of the greatest medicines evel
discovered. I should regard it as moth
ing strange if it was soon the only RENE
dy in use. r. E. BECKWITH,

CLEANSE THE SYSTEM OF NOR
BID MATTER.

The blood, since it contains the constit-
uents of all the substances of the body,
is capable of suffering every change
which all the various tissues or other fluids
experience. 1t can be effected with the
same diseases that reveal themselves in
any other part of the system. Many DIS
eases, when they are thought to be cured
still leave some spoiled substance in the
system, and unless this be removed the
blood will in time be extensively corrupt
ed, the glandular system will become dis
eased, aud all variety of cutaneous erup-
tions will be produced. This often oc-
ours in cases of cutaneous diseases. Moth
ing can be worse than to leave this i'm
properly cured. La-cu-pi-a will thor
Oughly cleanse the blood and entirely re-
move from the system all impurities
which so often cause other diseases to
follow. -

FEMALE COMPLAINTS.

These are of great variety and arise
from many different causes, The uterine
functions are destroyed when the menses
are unnaturally arrested; when their
quantity is too great or too small; when
they are pale and watery; when they are
dark and clotted when accompanied with
excessive pain, fainting, fits, chills or
fever; when preceded or followed by the
white flows. Other diseases. such as fall
ing of the womb, liberation of the labia,
Inflammation and assesses of the ovaria !;
also, congestion, dropsey, polypous and
cancerous formations. When derange-
ment of the menses are allowed to con-
tinue they usually bring on consumption.
Lacupia is the best remedy yet discovered
for these diseases, and its success has been
unparalleled. Use it with the first symp-
toms, before the disease is too long stand
Ing, and thus avoid much suffering and
accomplish amore speedy cure.

Those only who came in association with her knew
the noble qualities, both intellectual, moral and re-

her affections. She lived for her husband, her chill
dTen and friends No selfish feelings or wishes ever
soiled the purity OF her nature When the sick and
helpless called She was at their bedside, admins
terng TO their wants. when the unfortunate needed
advice ard assistance she was ever at hand. Her
well-balanced mind made her decisions irrevocabe
and satisfactory DEGREES In the dIssentOns OF her
neighbOTs, her servants and her friends Her STEP

the stage; to recognize in practice what they
cannot fail to perceive IN fact-that the stage
often is, and always can be made, powe, fol
influence for the welfare of mankind; and to
endeavor to use that influence for their owu
good, instead either of furtIvely conniving at
what they publicly censuEe, or idly denounc-
ing what they can neither arrest, embarrass.
nor destroy. 1t was the great divine. John
Wesley, who objected against letting the
devil have the use of all the good music
Chustians of our day would be equally sen
slble to object to satanic monopoly of all
the good acting. There are some people who
think that nothing has been discovered until
1t has been discovered by them; but. really,
this controversy has, practically. long been
ended. The church can do nothing to ipjure
the stage. 1t might do much 20 improve it,
and it might augment in so doing its own
utility and beauty, and its abiding hold upon
the affections of its votaries"

HONORS TO NIB. MCCULLOUGH.
Brass Band, Escort Mr.. Mccullough
to the Theater and Witness the
Presentation of Richard HI.

The Caickasaw Guards, forty muskets
strong, assembled in front of Gaston's hotel
last evening, and escorted Mr.. John M'Cul-
Tough to the Theater. The weather was in
clement and it was raining, but the boys,
headed by brass-band and drum cJrps,
marched out to Second, down Second to Main,
up Main to Jefferson, and down Jefferson to
the Theater. Mr.. Mccullough, Captain
Carnes, of the Chicks and General Peter
Tracy, followed in carriage drawn by four
6ue horses. The Chicks, while in line in
front Of Gaston's, went through the manual
with the precision of old veterans. Their
gay and brilliant uniforms presented a strik-
ing appearance in the darkness, but through
which the lights from the hotel shone bright
ly. Qlite n large crowd assembled to wit
ness the parade. At a signal given by the
officer in command, the "Chicks" wheeled
out into a column of tours and
marched off quickly to the music of the
band. Passing the Peabody hotel and up
Main street they were the observed of all
observers. Arriving at the Theater they
fled in and took reserved seats in the par
quette, near the orchestra stall, and wit
messed the presentation of Richard III
by Mr.. Mccullough and company. The
Chickassw Guards paid this complim mt
to MIR. NJ Cullough on account of his kind
ness to them in Cincinnati, and his efforts to
raise money to relieve the stricken sufferers
OF Memphis and other portions of the south,
during the terrible yellow-fever epidemic Of
1873.

that the only title burglars who have not
