The people of Memphis will proba-
/ ly determine by the first Of June
Ihat they will do to improve the sani-
ary condition Of the Taxing District.
E[Knoxville Chronicle.
This sounds like many other mis-
tatements going the rounds of the
ress. Memphis is down now,
ind anybody at safe distance
an give her a kick or a sneer. We
Eould have expected better of the
hronicle than this gratuitOus insinu-
tiOn. As matter of fact there has
been no serious misunderstanding
mong the people Of Memphis in re-
ard to sanitation since the visit Of
he members of the national board of
Lealth. There was a difference Of
opinion in regard to local ordinance,
bat that was only as to some minor
letails The ordinance was of such
weeping character that it was imprac-
icabIe and provoked opposition. DR.
Porter, who holds IA veryirksome, vexa-
iOus and laborious position, became
.unoyed and rendered his resigna.
ion. At the earnest request from all
ides and shades of opinion, he with
lrew, and the ordinance was modified,
md perfect harmony resulted. This.
lowever, caused no delay or Interrupt
ion. The sanitarians made ten dis
sinct recommendations, and the local
authorities are doing all they can to
enforce them. Means are limited, it
: true, but the time expired
Yesterday. when bids for pipes and
work could be received and the legis-
atiye council promptly adopted the
Waring plan of sewerage and took
bther steps toward lnauguratlng the
work. On the first of February the
bne per cent. tax, which we have i'm
posed upon ourselves, will fall due
bud the indications are that it will be
paid up more promptly than any tax
aver before levied on the people Of
Memphis. Our citizens are not waiting
for the inspectors to condemn the more
Iofensiyep priy vaults, especially thosein
Me heart of the city. Theodorless ex.
pavatorsand the other wagons employed
h cleaning out these vaults, are run
day and night; and while much re.
mains to be done, a great deal Of work
has been done quietly and is still
IgCirg on. These outside grumblers

A ValuabIe Mednrinc.

Buchu in various forms mas for many
years been one Of Che chief articles in the
Materia Medica for the treatment of GER
tain diseases, among which are chiefly
those affecting the urinary, digestive and
circulatory organs. The difficulty that
was long experienced in obtaining a pre-
paration of this valuable drug that could
always be relied upon for uniformity in
strength and absolute purity led to the
Introduction of Helmbold's Extract OF
Buchu, which for the last quarter Of Il
century has been extensively used both
by physicians and in house and family
practice and with very gratifying success
This medicine, like every other valuable
thing, has been extensively initiated, and
those who have use for it will do well to
see that they obtain the genuine "Helm-
bold Buehu," the only pure and reliable
preparation.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.

SoNE one in the Mississippi legisla-
re continues to vote for Jefferson
hvis for United States Senator, and
have no idea that this vote will
ntinue to be alone if the caucus is
etracted much longer. We do not
ppose that Mr.. Davis desires to re-
|terpublic life at this late day. He is
gagged in a more important work, in
|iting up a history of the war, than
could do in the senate. There is a
Ppular idea in the South that
would not be good policy
send him back to the
|nited States Senate. No abler man
|uld be found in the South or North
! d the South will never have cause
be ashamed Of Mr.. Davis wherever
may go. Alexander Stephens, who
hs Vice-president of the Southern
bnfederacy, is in the house of repre-
|ntatives, and it would seem quite as
roper for the late President of the
pnfederacy to occupy a seat in the
her house of congress. Stephens
las as much a rebel as Jefferson Davis
It his purity of character, force of
|tellect and broad national views
pmmaud the respect and the admira-
'On Of the whole house, regardless of
|srty. Mr.. Davis would be the peer
any man in the senate. His char
ter is above reproach, his intellect
as clear and strong as ever and his
stinguished abilities might be util-
ed for the good of the whole country.
he resppearance of Mr.. Davis in the
|nate might be the signal for petty
buse and malicious Misrepresentation,
|ut we Of the south are used to that
|ld can stand it. Mr.. Davis is rep
bsentative southern man, and if he
yer committed any act which should
,eclude him from a participation in
|iblic affairs, thousands Of others, in
|uding Stephens, Mosby, Longstreet,
en-. Key, Henry S. Foote and many
|embers Of congress ought also to be
|nder political disabilities. They were
| in the same boat, but Davis by
bason of his superior ability hap
Ened to be elected captain. 1t is
natural and unjust for the Southern
sople to shift the blame of the i'll
AIRED Southern Confedracy upon
|eff Davis. We receive neither
hanks nor praise for uniting with
le North in banishing him from
|ublic life. In honoring him we
ould only be asserting our
Elf-respect. The plea is constantly
|ade that itwould injure us politically
! send such a man as Mr.. Davis to
he senate, and yet congress is full of
bnfederate brigadiers and the crop is
OF near exhausted. 1t could not in
Ire us with the Republicans and as
pr the Northern Democrats-well,
Pt them take care of themselves.
nd it is time we were doing the
ame.

the trial of u case recently decided in the
county court ofEllis county, at Waxshachie
where Mr.. Benjamin White was presented
for selling, in violation of the local option
law, the defense established that the Home
Sanative Cordial was compound tincture

it real medicine, and declared the defend

it without paving occupation liquor tax.
