Nashville Banner: With tho
end of the last canvas the fight for

concerned, ended. It is most pre

With this understanding we had just

The Supreme Court has refused to
grant a new trial to Sam Hill, con
victed in Atlanta of the murder of
-John R. Simmons, in January of last
year. This finally disposes of the
case so far as the courts are concern
ed, and the only hope for Hill now
iia in Executive clemency. Petitions
are already in circulation, which will
be presented to the Governor, asking
for a pardon. Hill has many sym
pathiaerB all over the country who
will hope for his release through the
only channel now left.
The following are the rates estab

cents per mile, with tickets; without
tickets cents per mile; for passen

% cents per mile with tickets; with
out tickets 2^. The fare for berths
in sleeping cars shall not exceed the
Tate of one cent p- r mile for each
berth.
A VERY successful merchant of St.
Louis gives the following as his ex
perience in advertising: “My rnle
is when I sell a bill of goods on time
to immediately subscribe for the lo
cal paper of my debtor. So long as
he advertises liberally and vigorous
ly I rest, but as soon as he commen
ces to contract his advertising space,
I take the fact as evidence that there
js trouble ahead, aud I invariably go
for my debt Th mail who feels too
poor to make his business known is
too poor to do business. The with
drawal of an advertisement is an evi
dence of weakness that business men
are not slow to act upon.”
Upon the opening up for business
of the Cincinnati Southern, the Cin
cinnati Enquirer of the 8th says ;
To-day the Southern Railroad Com
pany begin to run regular passenger
trains over the entire.length of their
line, from Cincinnati to Chattanooga.
The Queen City, of course, feels a
pardonable pride that she has after
many years, and with the expendi
ture of nearly 820,000,000, carved a
highway into the heart of the South,
and that in future the bonds of
friendship between herself and the
South will be strengthened by the
iron bands which r.ow connect them.
Our citizens can travel for pleasure
or business over their own road to
the very center of the South at a
saving of twelve hours in time and
nearly three hundred miles of dis
tance. We have a road nmqnaled in
this country in respect to strength
and solidity—unequaled, too, on the
eastern half of the continent for the
picturesque scenery which it presents
to the traveler. And now what our
people mean to do is to keep and run
it for the joint benefit of Cincinnati
and the Son»h.
Boston Bust: Ethan Allen hits
the bull’s eye, when he says of the
third term advocates: “These con
spirators call for a ‘strong man’ who
who will not be ‘counted ont;’ are
they not really seeking a ‘strong
man’ who wfll persist upon being
‘counted in ?’ ”
A member ot Congress, who has
examined the question, says that last
year there was imported into the
United States printing paper to the
value of only 82,418, yielding to the
Government a revenue of 8508.

Washington Letter.
fFrom our Correspondent.]
Washington, D. C., Mar. 15,1880.
Editor Advertiser: The appar
ent new zeal of Mr. Tilden as a Pres
idential candidate has given rise [to
much speculation as to its cause.—
The general impression is that the
apparent Grant victory at the Har
risburg Convention had something
to do with stiffening his buck bone-
The nomination of General Grant
undoubtedly would materially im
prove the Democratic chances of suc
cess ; and not simply because of the
dissatisfaction it .would create in the
Republican parly, but because of the
harmonizing influence it would have
on the Democratic party and the ter
rible weapon which it would place in
their hands. . Mr. Tilden is shrewd
enough to see that the third-term is
sue Would then supplant all others
and put his party in a new light be
fore the country. His hopes are
placed in the scheme of the Cameron
ring to force Grant upon the Repub
lican parly in spite of the apparent
demand for Blaine by the masses.—
But it is just possible that his hopes
will not be realized.
So far the friction in running the
House under the new rule has been
greater than any gain through their
adoption, but this, probably, will not
continue. As they become familiar
to the member , through study and
the very acute rulinys of the Speak
er, br si ness will moye on smoothly.
That is, if business is presented for
action. So far there has been unpre
cedented delay in reporting the ap
propriation bills, and an apparent
disinclination on the part of mem
bers in both Houses to go en with
those already repotted. A long de
bate is threatened over the Fitz John
Porter case. I spoke briefly of the
strength of Porter’s claims in a re
cent leter. Its weakness is not in its
merits or demands, but in the fact
that some Democrats as well as Re
publicans seem disposed to make a
party question of if, and work for
political advantage, instead of voting
as their judgmeut might dictate. Of
the passage of the relief bill, with
the full Democratic vote, and the
votes of some Republicans in both
Houses, their is little doubt.
In deciding that the Federal elec
tion laws were constituti nal the Su
preme Court has settled finally a
question that had become of great
interest, and was likely to enter into
legislation during the session. The
Democratic party has not the power
now to repeal those laws, and, after
the Court’s decision, will hardlyjdare
refuse to make reasonable appropria
tion for carrying them out.

The Litchfield (Ill.) Democrat is
the authority for saying that a few
days ago a young lady of Carliuville
sent the following uote to a young
gentleman of that place:
Dear Will—Daont kum to see

Fanther has got awfully sktered
about burglars, and he sits up every

A clergyman asked his Sunday-
school : “With what remarkable
weapon did Samson at one time slay
a number of Philistines?” For a
while there was no answer, and the
clergyman, to assist the children a
little, commenced tapping his jaw
with he tip of his finger, at the same
time sayiug, “What’s this ?—what’s
this ?” Quick as thought, a little fel
low innocently replied, “The jawbone
of an ass, s.r!”—Inter-Ocean.

duty, to snap their fingers at the im
potent malice of their enemies.
The South should become self-sus
taining in all the varied industries of
life. Every Southern man should do
everything that in him lies to sustain
and build up home industries. Pat
ronize home institutions. Every
worthy Southern enterprise should
find a friend iu every Southern man,
woman and child. Nothing should
be imported which can be made at
home. The balance of trade ought
to be in our favor. Exports enrich a
people; imports impoverish them.
Let us improve in these matters.
The South is cur home, and it only
is worthy of our undivided love.”
Tommy Coulter’s Hew Nose.
[New York Herald.]
Crowds o f visitors are calling daily
at Bellevue Hospital to see Thomas
Coulter, the patient who is now the
pi ssessor of a nose which was but re
cently his middle finger. About
three weeks ago the plaster of Paris
bandage was removed from his fao,
and a careful examination showed
that the finger had growu fast to the
site of the former nose. Dr. Sabine
at once decided to sever the hand
from the two joints which were there
after to serve as a nose. Tommy was
rendered partially unconscious by
the use of ansestbetics, and the am
putation was performed without
much trouble. During the two months
in which Lhe finger had been growing
to the face the blood had retreated
from the hand and arm because of
its peculiar position, leaving them as
white as snow. Shortly alter the
operation, the tube through which
Tommy breathed was removed from
its position in the larynx. The pa
tient is at present in a peculiar posi
tion. In order to have a shapely na
sal organ the second joint of the am-
putated finger was crooked so the el-
biw forms the top of the nose. The
end of the finger was stitched to the
upper lip in a neat manner. The next
step in the process was to remove
pieces of skin from the cheeks and
forehead and allow them to grow on
the lacerated and stitched portions ol
the new nose. The consequence is
that there are no nostrils at present,
and Tommy breathes through his
mouth and e^rs. In order to avoid
this inconvenient mode of inhaling
and exhaling ar. operation is shortly
to be performed with a view to pro
viding the new organ with nostrils.
Coniter’s articulation isgrod, bnthis
voice sounds as through a ram’s
horn. The surgeons in charge of the
case are confident that they will be
able to remove the impediment very
easily. The wonderful patience
which Tommy displayed during his
trying ordeal enabled them to oper
ate with more success than in ordt-
dary xses. It is proposed to remove
all scars from his face by the process
of skin grafting.
A Rich Thing About Editors.
[Bob Burdette.]
“Editors are usually wealthy,” the
man with tbe sample case remark d.
“Yes,” I said, “they are familhar
with all the slang and business
phrases of the money market ; they
write about millions as ordinary men
talk about dollars; they build rail
roads, they organize mining and
magnificent transportation compa
nies with fabulous capital ; they de
clare war without consulting the
Rothschilds, and if ali the banks in
America were to fail to-morrow they
wouldn’t be a cent poorer than they
are to-day. Yes, they are rich. They
associate with the moneyed classes,
they s t down at tables with k:ngs,
and sometimes, in happier, luckier
moments, with aces; if you want to
borrow money, g ) to the editor, lie
will turn to his advertising columns
and tell you where you can borrow
it. If you have money to loan, rath
er than see you suffer he will borrow
it of you himself, Rich! He knows
the secrets of the moneyed rings; he
divulges the plans and schemes of
the heavy operators to the people; he
roars himself louder than the hulls,
and growls among the bears; his
voice is heard in the tempbs of the
money changers, asking for money,
he warbles his little roundelay out
on the curbstone, in a melancholy
minor key, when he doesn’t get ii.
Oh, yes, editors are rich. When you
want to spend all the money you
have iu this wide, wide world, go to
your lawyer, when you want some
thing done for uotbiug, go to your
newspaper office. Then when you
want to send a man to Congress,
send your lawyer, because you can
get along without him.”
I paused, and a profound, impres
sive silence tilled my ear like adream
of peace, I looked around upon my
audience. It was asleep,

Poisonous Drugs in Bread.
The Baltimore Sun sounds the
alarm that a large psoportion of the
baking powders now on the market
are composed largely of alum. The
action of alum on the human stom
ach is precisely the same as on the
mouth; it draws and puckers it all
up, pruducing all sorts ofdaig'rous
disorders. In Germany, England and
France,any one selling alum powders
is subject to a flue and imprisonment.
Pure bakiDg powders should be made
of grape cream of tartar, which is
worth from forty to fifty cent cents
per ponnd. Alum costs only thiee
cents per pound,
Third Party Schemes—General Butler’s
Latest Plotting With the Greenbaek-
ers.
A Washington correspondent, who
has been talking with General But
ler aud leading Greenbackers, says:
“General Butler’s visit seems to
have revived the spirits of the little
Greenback squad in Congress. They
have some sciieme brewing for mak
ing the influence of their faction
count in the Presidential election,
and, whatever it is, it no donbt
emanated from the biain of Butler.
They believe that they control enough
votes to hold the balance of power
in one or two close States where the
Republicans have a small plurality
over the Democrats, and with thie
capital real or imaginary, as a stock
in trade, they are prepared to bar
gain wiui the Democrats. I think
their plan is to nomina'e their, own
candidates for President and Vice
President, run separate electoral tick
ets in the States which are certain to
go R-publican or Democratic,and fix
up Fusion tickets with the Demo-
crats in the doubtful States. In
case the fusion electoral ticket.should
carry in one or more of those States,
I they would be ia a position to rlrive
la hard bargain for Cabinet paces
and other offices with the Democrats
for the Democratic candidates could
only be elected by the votes of the
Greenback electors chosen on these
Fusion tickets. In case this game
should have no other result than to
prevent a choice by the people aud
throw the election into the House,
the Greenbackers c uld still claim
their reward. As the house now
stands—the Republicans controlling
nineteen State delegations and the
Democrats eighteen, with Indiana
tied by De La Matyr voting with the
Democrats—there can be r.o election
by that body, and the Senate would
thus be called upon to choose a Vice
President, who would become Presi
dent on the 4th of March. The Sen
ate does not vote by States in choos
ing a Vice President, anc it is safely
Democratic. If, however, the D m
ocratic scheme of throwing out Orth
of Indiana and Washbhru of Minne
sota is ca ried out,then a Democratic
President can be elected by the
House. Should the Greenbackers be
able to bring either result, they could
demand a large share in the spoils.”

Southern Claims.
What is known as the Southern
Claims Commission expired by law
on the»10th. A report of its work
will be presently made to Congress.
The Washington Post in advance of
the report, furnishes some interest
ing particulars. We learn, for ex
ample, ihat the commission was or
ganized March 3, 1871, and went in
to operation immediately. The time
for tiling claims was limited by law
to two years. During this time 22,-
298 claims were filed against the Gov
ernment, aggregating in amount over
$60,01)0,000. The commission have
made every year a report to Con
gress of their action, their allowances
and disallowances. In these nine
communications they have reported
upon about 17,000 cases, involving
over $41,000,000. They have allow
ed about $4,500,000, and have reject
ed about $35,200,000. There remains
on their hands about 6,000 in whicli
the claimants have to' ken any
testimony and which * e therefore
barred out by the act of Jc greis.—
There are also about 40C vases in
which testimony has been > ken, and
these will be reported upon. The
report announces a clean docket, so
that all the claims presented have
bceu disposed of wiih the exception
of claims for rent and claims by
bankrupts, which are out of the jur
isdiction of the commission. With
the completion of the wo»k of
the commission all war claims, with
the exception of those now pending
in Congress, have been finally and
forever disposed of. The personnel
of the commission from the date of
its organization to the present time
has remained unchanged. They are
as follows: President of the Com
mission Judge Asa O. Aldis, of Vn’°
mont, ex-Senator James B. Howell,
of Iowa, and Judge Orange Ferris, of
New York.

tee will meet we learn, about the 23d
instant, lor the purpose of consider
ing what shall be done in the way of
conventions for the coming cam
paign. The present ccmi.iittee,
while it has some food men, is by no
means a strong one. We don’t think
they have ever held a meeting since
their appointment, when all the
members were present. How it will
be at ihe meeting on the 23d we can
not say, but from the lukewarm
manner in which th>y approached
the campaign we are satisfied that
there will barely be a quorum pres
ent. The following is the present
cormniltee:
For the Slate at largo—H. P. Bell,
E. Y. Clark, J. C. Nichols, J. L.
Warren.
1st district—John J. Jones, Jose
phus Camp.

Once upon a time the mule, with
out haying received an invitation,
attended a convention of animals
that was called lor the purpose ol dis
cussing the best methods of family
government. “What do you know
about all this?” asked tbe president,
tauntingly ; “ have you ever raised
any children ?’’ The mule wept. “Ah,
no,” she said, “I have never raised
anything but full-grown men; but,
land of the pilgrim, you should see
how j raised them—you should see
me raise a man that weighs as much
as David Davie.” Upon a rising vote
the mule was immediately elected fi
nancial secretary, with powers to
send or persons and papers.—[Bur- \

tbe difference.
See that jronr Unking Soda la
white and PuRE, as should be Aisle
S1IVIILAII SUBSTANCES Coed for
food.
A simple but severe teat of the comparative
value ot different brands of Soda is to dissolve a
dessert spoonful of each kind with about a pint
of water (hot preferred) in dear glasses, stirring
until all is thoroughly dissolved. The delete
rious insoluble matter in the inferior Soda will
be shown after settling some twenty minutes os
sooner, by the milky appearance of the solution
and the quantity of floating flocky matter ao*
cording to quality.
Be sure and ask for Church A Co.’s Soda and
see that their name is on the package and you
will get the purest and whitest made. The use
of this with sour milk, in preference to Baking
Powder, saves twenty times its cost.
See one pound package for valuable informa
tion and read carefully.
