DR.. f. +. Porter, of Paris, deliv-
cred au address before fine West Ten
nessee Medical Association, at its re-
cent meeting in jackson, in which he
handled all physicians who do not be-
long to the regular school,. pretty
roughly. He says they are frauds,
dishonest swindlers, etc., and seems to
lose his temper while speaking of
them. This may he true in some Gu
ses, and no doubt is; but the people
will continue to call in the physician
whom they believe will cure them the
quickest and for the least money.
And some of these so called "quacks"
have certainly been successful in
many cases, if the evidence ola mum.
Der of prominent and reliable citizens
is worth anything. But we bave no
part to take in the fight between the
doctors. Our object in noticing the
address of DR.. P. is to deny what we
believe to be an unfounded charge he
brings against the newspapers. He
says these advertising doctors "write
their own puffs, ard, | am sorry to
say, many of our newspapers, for the
sake of few dollars, father their
abominable lies and permit them to
appear as editorials. Many of our
editors, l suppose, do not think that
by so doing they become particepS
criminis in an enormous swindle. "
We don't know of a single newspaper
in West Tennessee that has been
guilty of the act charged, and we
read most of them every week. Posi-
bly, DR.. p. does net know the differ
ence between an advertisement and
an editorial. If that be the case, we
advise him to consult the publishers
of his home papers before making
such ridiculous charges again. But
we believe the Irregular" doctors are
opposed to special advertising, and
this may account for his error. For his
benefit, we will state that this article
is not paid for nor charged to any
kind of doctor, and he and the 9th
ers can have the benefit of it free.

Before our next issue, the national
republican convention will meet in
Chicago, and We expect next week
to announce the names of the candi-
dates. Arthur and Blaine will lead
on the first ballot, the friends of each
claiming that their man is the strong,
est. From all we can learn, we think
it not very probable that either can
command sufficiently large numoer
of votes to win, and We therefore still
think that Lincoln's chances are as
good as any.

The Indications over the state-and

The indications over the state-snd
especially in this section-are that
prohibition will lie an important fac.
tor in politics this year. While it's
friends claim that they will net make
n party question of it, yet they will
insist that all candidates for the legis>
lature, regardless of party, promise to
submit prohibition constitutional
amendment to vote of the people.
The FEELING in favor of it is grow
ing very rapidly in West Tennessee,
US indeed it is all over the state, and
it is right that the people should have
chance to express their views IN
this way. Ii the legislature allows
them to vote on a purely Legislative
matter, as WIS the state debt, we do
not see how it can refuse vote on Il
proposed amendment 10 the constitu
tion. Thes bill of rights allow them
this privilege, and they can demand
it. We knuw many moderate drink
ers and few saloon keepers who say
they will vote for ii. All recognize
the fact that the abuse of strong
drink is curse to the country, and
we believe majority are willing to
vote it out of the state.

A Washington Special to the
Graphic says: ut is now thoroughly
understood here that Mr.. Tilden will
accept the Democratic nomination,
and two gentlemen who saw him in
New York report that he told them
so with frankuess that they did not
anticipate. One of the Congressman
who saw Mr.. Ti!den on Sunday last,
reports him as saying that while he
desires to avoid the excitement of the
campaign, which he feels might i'm.
pair his health, he is willing to COM
ply with what appears to be an al
most unanimous call from his party
TO accept the nomination. He don't
conceal his feeling that second NOM
ination would be the greatest gratif-
cation he could feel in his declining
years, and even if the campaign
should cost him his life, he could not
lay it down in better cause.

A Democratic Conference.

There was meeting of the city Dem
ocratic politicians at the Falmouth Hotel
last Tuesday evening, at which the subject
of candidate for Mayor in the approaching
municipal election was earnestly discussed.
Our information is to the effect that the
meeting resembled that once held by the
mice 10 take measures to protect themselves
from the cat. 1t will be remembered that all
the mice were of opinion that a bell should
be attached to the cat so that they might be
warned of her approach; but when it came
to the point of finding mouse who was
willing to undertake to put the bell OH the
cat, they were in difficulty, and the scheme
:, had TO be abandoned. So at this meeting it
was the opinion of most that it would be
very unfortunate for the party 10 have to 20
into the election with Mr.. Deering for it's
candidate, and that it would be best for all
concerned if he should be persuaded to
Withdraw; but there was nobody and no
number willing to face the Mayor and tell
him to go.
Being in this predicament there was but one
thing to be done. It was taken for granted
that the Mayor intended 10 be candidate
aud as the party could not help itself, it was
informally agreed that he must receive the
Democratic nomination and support. In
return for this it was determined that he
should be mulcted for large share OF the
expenses of the campaign in which he had
so much at stake, and which was unlikely
TO prove a profitable Investment of Demo-
cratic funds, that had better be husbanded
for the campaigns later In the year. Report

The New Age makes several rather clum-
sy excuses for it's failure to support its
charges against Marshal White before the
investigating committee. One is that the
committee was a partisan one and would
have presented whitewashing report, no
matter what the evidence might have been.
The answer to this is that the investigation
was public aud the testimony was published
In the newspapers, so that the public could
judge for themselves as to the value aud
weight of it. Another excuse is that it was
not proper to volunteer evidence. 1t it
was proper to volunteer charge such as the
New Age made, it is difficult to see why it
was not equally proper to volunteer evil
dence to support that charge. But it was
no. necessary to volunteer in this case, be-
cause all persons who had any evidence
against the Marshal were invited to present
it. All that was necessary was TO accept an
Invitation. Another excuse is that the ''lo-
cal reporter" was responsible for the article
rejecting ON the Marshal and the proprietors
knew nothing about it. But if the proprie-
tors wanted to repudiate the article good
place to have done so would have been be-
fore the investigating committee. The New
Age is evidently trying to crawl out of bad
predicament through very small holes.

Judge Pershing, of Pennsylvania, has de.
cided that base ball playeris not laborer
within the meaning of the statutes giving
laborers a preference over other creditors in
the distribution of an insolvent estate. This
decision will prove grateful to the pride of
the base ball player, if not to his pocket, for
it will furnish him substantial reason for
considering himself a professional gentle
man and p-efxing title to his name. Here
after we may expect to have professors OF
