Joukiuß moved that the following letter be read to thej meeting which motion prevailed, J and the letter was read by Capt. N. C. Napier, as follows: Washington, D. C., July the 12th, lst'2. Dr. W.D.Jenkins,Rock Spring,] My Dear Sir: For the very kind and cordial invitation contained in your es teemed favor of 9th, iust, to ad dress the citizens of your county, at your town, on the loth iust. ( you will please accept my sin cere thanks. If I know my own heart, there is uo section of my District, aud uo portion of my constituency,to which I feel more closely allied, or more gratefully indebted than to the county of Walker; and I always feel compli mented, when permitted to speak there. Gladly would I accept your invitation, if my duties to : ward my constituents would per j rait. On to morrow, the 13th, by 'special arrangement, tho silver j bill will again be taken up, and i discussed for two days. We will I do our best to bring it to a di ! rect vote, and in that movement, Jwe have not a man to lose. It is more important that I should look after the interests of my oon j stituents here, than that I should be fostering my own interests at home. In the former case the welfare of 180,000 confiding con stituents is at stakejr-in tho lat ter, the personal preferment of a | single individual. Can I, as a faithful and an honest represen tative,hesitate for one moment in ! deciding what is my duty in the premises? Upon every stump throughout my district, I pledged to the service of the people my time, my talents and my best en deavors. Have those pledges | been redeemed? Bet the reeord speak. Since the first of Janua ry, I have missed uo meeting of the ill. It., or of the Com; nor have 1 "dodged” a single vote. No re quest from a constituent has been disregarded, and no letter, how ever unimportant, lias gone unan swered. No pledge has been broken and no contract violated. For the manner in which 1 have discharged my duties, I have no apologies to make and no pardons i to ask, and with God’s help, I in tend at tho close of my term of service, to surrender my commis sion into the hands of those who so kindly gave it, with a con science “void of offense toward God, or my follow man,” Inas much as it has been the unbroken custom for more than a quarter of a century, to endorse each M. ()., from the 7th District, by a re-elec turn, I know of only two causes that would justify a change of that line of policy so long contin ued, to wit: Incompetence, or disloyalty. If either or both these charges are prefeired and sus tained, 1 neither desire nor de serve endorsement. In the absence of the above named legitimate causes for com plaint, 1 must consider any at tempted infraction of this custom us an utiuek upon my avocation, or an attempt to satisfy inexcusa ble ambition. I stand to-day, just where I stood two years ago, when Walk er county placed me under ever lasting obligations by her over whelming endorsemaut of my candidacy. Should your grand county,in its sovereign capacity, decide to endorse my course, such action j will bring me under renewed ob ligation, which will be discharg ed, in part, by working, to the extent of my capacity,for the best interest of the country. If the people of your county really desire my return, there can be no trouble in so expressing themselves, if they only partici pate in the primaries, or conven tion oidered to make a selec tion. If the masses refuse to take part in the selection of candidates then they have no right to plead dissatisfaction, It is of primary importance, that the whole peo ple take part in the selection of a candidate. Do me the great kindness tore- j member me to the good people of your county, and assure them, that 1 will surely address them,at the very first opportunity, but cau't consistently leave hero now. Fraternally Yours, R. W. Everett. After an address by Capt. John Y. Wood, the balloting under the resolution began aud resulted as follows: Hon. Jolm W. Maddox receiv ed 80 votes. Hou. R. W. Everett received 35 votes. There being no other business before the bouse the meeting ou motion adjourned sine die. J. M.Jackson,Ck'rm’u, F. W. Copeland, Sec.

A. Chambers, Secretary. Deafness Cannot l>e Cured !by local applications,as they can not reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condi tion of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this j tube gets inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed Deafness is the result, and unless the inflamation can be ta ken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing wi'l be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sufaces. Wo will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that eauuot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars,free, F. J. CHENEY & CO. Toledo, Ohio.
