1^- It lias again become our painful
duty to oiler another apology for our
paper, by the appearance of only half
sheet this week, which can only be at
tributed to the neglect of Whiteman
Bro’s, in Memphis, by not complying
with thair promises to ship us paper
on the last trip of the Rowcna and to
whom all blame is most assuredly at
tached. May be, they will have anoth
er opportunity to till an order for the
Citizen, but we “can't sec it" now.
We hope our readers will bear with us
in this disappointment for we ran as
sure them that no one regrets this mat
ter more than ourselves.
THE NEXTPBESIDEN0Y.
The Rads are having a glorious time
discussing the merits of the many per
sons who are prominently mentioned
as candidates for tho noxt Prefidcney.
.Every little pop gun who has ever been
guilty of n mean thing is through his
friends urging his claims for that high
position. Gen. Grant, who at first
stood a better chance than all others, is
vapidly being thrust aside because the
Libcrtv-lovcrs find him too honest to
serve their purposes; they say he will
not do for they must have a statesman
at tho White House, that, Grant is a
Democrat, and one hundred thousand
graves and four millions of freemen
demand a republican President. Amid
ihe terrible confusion made by the
aforementioned one hundred thousand,
and four million, iti their demand for
a man after their heart, the poor office
seeking republicans have a hard time
of it. Colfax is down on Grant, Chase
won’t endorse Colfax, Wade don't like
Chase, and the whole family seem to
be generally divided.
While confusion of the rankest kind
stirs the radical camps, the conserva
tive party are rejoicing at their evi
dently increasing strength. Califor
nia giving a large Democratic majori
ty in her late election has filled the
TInni VX'T f UIlH
dissoncerted the opposition no little.
All this taken iu connection with the
decided position of Grant, who, when
he found that the law did not sustain
him in the issue lately made with the
President, quietly withdrew Ids ob
jections and placed himself right on
the record and in perfect harmony with
President Johnson, is significant of
great results.
giaf The border states convention
met iu Baltimore on the 13th inst., and
representatives were present from
Maryland, Delaware, Kentucky, Mis
souri and Tennessee. Speeches were
made by Maynard, C.'rcswell and others,
and letters were read from distinguish
ed white and negro politicians, among
them one from Sumner, iu which, after
stating his anxiety to he present, he
srys :
“Congress will leave undone what it
ought to do if it fails to provide
promptly for the establishment of
equal rights, whether political or civil,
everywhere throughout tins union.—
This is a solemn duty which cannot, be
shirked otpostponed. The idea is in
tolerable that we may, under any pre
tension of state rights, set up a politi
cal oligarchy within its border, and
then call it a republican government.
I believe, with all my soui, that, such a
government must be rejerted as incon
sistent with the requirements of the
declaration of independence.”
Dietaorial resolutions were adopted
as to the duty of congress to protect
the equal voting and rights of all loyal
American citizens, without regard to
complexion, and to guarantee a repub
lican form of government to all states ;
the adoptiou of measures requisite for
the establishment of peace and pros
perity throughout the land, and sug
gesting presentation to the States for
adoption of the eonstilutiona! amend
ment, providing no state shall disfran
chise any citizen because of raco or
color; they also approve the recon
struction measures of congress, call for
the reinstatement of Stanton, and ap
plaud the military service, prudence
and flrinuess of Gen. Grant, and ex
pressed the belief that the president
should be impeached and removed.
4*S~Sotnetimc since the office of the
Eagle newspaper at Camden, Ark., was
destroyed by soldiers lead by one Ma
jor Pierre. Col. Gilbert, commanding
post, wrote to Gen. Ord, in which be
said the censure of the press directed
against the servants of the people may
he endured, but that Gen. Ord “and
the military forces detailed to enable
him to perform his duties, are not the
servants of thq people of Arkansas, but
rather their masters, and it is felt to be
great piece of impertinence for news
papers in tlds State to comment upou
the military tinder any circumstances
whatever.'1 Gen. Ord, in his reply,
says:
“Your letter of the 15lh ult-.in which
you attempt to jiisuf.v an act of a par
ty of soldiers who, misled by an officer,
forcibly entered a citizen's house and
destroyed his property, is received.
You will please explain why this act
was not prevented by yon as post com
mander, and if the requirement* of the
22d article of war have been complied
with. Your assertion that the military
forces are not the servants of the peo
ple of Arkansas, hut rather their mas
ters, is unjust both to the pec pic and
the military and unfounded in fact.—
The military forces are servants of the j
laws, and the laws are for the benefit :
of the people. The assumption that a ;
party of soldiers could, at their own
option, foreibty destroy citizens prop
erty aud commit a gross violation of
the public peace, would not be tolera
ted under a Napoleon.’’
-Intelligence from Galveston, In- i
dianola,. aud other Gulf point*, as well |
as from New Orleans, is most painful.
There soeuis to be no indication of an
abatement oftlie fever until the scourge
wears itself out for lack of victims. At
Galveston one day last week there
were as many as eight hundred cases,
nne-fifth of which resulted fatally.
Those only who acclimated have any
chance of recovery after being attacked.

Let Tint Negro Fbware.—The New
York Citizen, of the 2ith, edited by
(Miles O’Keilly) Gen. Ilnlpin, who
served with aUtinctiorf in the United |
States Army during the war, says :
“The daily papers are making a great
muddle over the opinions of t* prom
inent generals And the people at large
on the question of reconstruction.—
They tell us that Grant approves of the
course of the President, that Thomas :
agrees with Sheridan, and that Slier-'
man favors the plan of Congress, or ,
vice versa, according to their political
bias. We can tell them all that if the
Congressional system is to pnt the
South in possession of the negroes, it
does not meet the views of the people, j
the sailors in our fleets, the soldiers in
our armies, the merchants at their
desks, the farmers at thoir plows, or
any other large body of our citizens.
St. Domingo is not what we fonglit for;
we do not want it, and will not have
it; and that the niggers, whetheryyhite
or black, may understand as well first
as last. Nations are cruel when driven
to despair, and, rather than surrender
our white nationality, we will massa
cre and enslave every colored man in
the States. This may be bold language
and inconventional,’ but we ask our
readers whether it docs not meet the
congrmation of their hearts ? We have
sacrificed too many whites for a prin
ciple to stop at taking the lives of a
few worthless blacks.
Kg* At Humboldt, Tenn., a general
row occurred between the negroes and
the whites, on Friday night. Two
blacks demanded liquor at the store of
a man named Hunter, and, being re
fused, obtained reinforcements and
made an attack 01: the premises w'tli
pistols and stones. White people wont
to the assistance of the store-keeper,
and the negroes appear to have got the
worst of it, seven of them being wound
ed, while only one white was hurt.
-It is stated, and generally believ
ed, that the committee appointed some
time since to examine the oceounts of
the different bureaus of the Treasury
have discovered evidence in the office
of the Controller of the Currency of a
defalcation on the part of one of the
clerks amounting to several thousand
dollars.
-We learn that a new and terrible
disease lias made it appearance among
the horses and mules in the upper por
tion ofthis county, by which Dr. Gaines
and Mr..I. II. Warner have already
lost severa', and have others attacked.
The symptoms are as follows. A hard
lump makes its appearcncc either on
the breast or body of the animal, which
continues to enlarge till it produces

LIBERAL ADVANCES—Snpplies
at Wholesale Prices. Commission for
selling Cotton, One Dollar per Bale.
To the Cotton Planter* of West
Tennessee, Alabama, NUili*
Nlppl and Arkansas:
Tlie undersigned respectfully lenders bis
services as agent for the sale of your cotton
in this city, and for the purchase of your sup
plies The unfortunate termination of the
lato war, which so materially affected the best
interests of the South, has also had its effect
upon the Commission Business of this city, ;
as transacted between planter and merchant. j
You doubtless well remember with wliat per- j
tinacity (previous to the war), amounting in ■
some instances to annoyance, yon were soli- I
cited for your business at the rate of fifty i
cents per bale commission, free of drayage,
and stored for twelve months without charge.
Then (as will be again) the prodoeer was the
ruling element, ana high rents, rich landlords
and merchants were the result of planters*
patronage. No people or occupation have
been more seriously prostrated than planters
and planting, and none so much deserve to
be fostered and aided in their unfortunate
changed condition. How that aid so much
needed has been meted out you I opine too
well know. Onerous government taxes in
general, and a special tax upon your leading
production, Cotton, large profits you have had
to pay upon supplies furnished, commissions
on sale* ranging from 60 to $6 per bale,
monthly storage at exorbitant prices and
other expenses, os per reference to your ac
count sales, as a sum total wi*.l leave you but
little if anything upon which to rebuild your
shattered fortunes, or to compete with the
new oHer of affairs—free labor. When 1
withdrew from tho Cotton and Commission
Business in 1860, private reasons then led me
to b.dieve that I would never engage in it
again. The solicitations of many fricndsth.it
were former patrons, and a desire to promote
the interest of fbe planting community, so
far os my feeble effort* can do so. and the
apparent want of gratitude exhibited to a
community that in times past tended so ma
terially to the prosperity of Memphis and its
mercantile community, has d^fer mined me
ngnin to offer my services in the capacity as
stated. The reduced stork of cottons in the
United States and short sndplies in *’ e hands
of New England manufacturers has caused
some advance in price* from the late depres
sion, hence early rales may be prudent and
remunerative: such was the care the past two
seasons, and many planters have had causa to
regret the acting upon the too common prac
t ce of holding and drawing upon their cot
ton*. 1 would advise no planter to send t'or
wni'il hid pminn mtlfls* ho wished it sold Upon
the first active market. It can be held at
home much cheaper than in Memphis. My
charges for selling cotton will he One Dollar
per hate. Insurances effected in all ca*es if
not instructed to the contrary. Shall buy
your supplies from wholesale houses, giving
I you the benefit of same. In short, by strict
attention to all the department* of our busi
ness, I hope to merit a large share of patron

Tonic Syrup!
A rapid and never felling cure for
Fever * i|«c, or ChllW * Fever, j
Every poison has its antidote—Every ]
disease has its cure.
I
; . I
It id A known fkot tBat the powerful miner
al medicines so often administered in copious
doses in Intermittent and Billious Remittent
Fevers are aa perilons to the eonatilution as
the fevers themselves, while their operation
is generally slow and npcertain, and their ef
fects eveneesent. Remedies of this class,
hasardioui under any cirmnbatence*. cannot
he used with any approaoh to safety except
under tho directions of a phvgjcian ; and in
tho regions whsre Fever and Ague, Billious
Fever, Chill and Fever, Dumb Ague and (heir
kindred complaint* ehiefly prevail, medical
men are sometimea few and far batwocn. and
medical advice almost unobtainable. It Is
obvious, therefore, that • medicine like the
Texas Tealc Njrap, prompt ond cer
tain in its notion at a curative, and equally
to be relied on as a preventive, of these dan
gerous maladies—a preparation at barmleat
to the constitution as water—mutt bo of price
less value in the valley of the Missiaaippi, or ]
wherever else they may exist.
The common cause of all remittent and I
intermittent fevers is the mephitio vapor or]
miasma evaporated by heat from tho sell, or
from the surface of stagnant-water ; and it is
usually when the torrid warmth nf summer
has prostrated the system and rendered it
incapable of contending energetically with
the disease that the attack comes on. July,
August, September and October arc the
months during with all billions complaints
are most common, and must violent. The
organs immediately affected by Fever and
Ague, and Intermittents and Remittents, are
the Liver, the Spleen, the Stomach and Kid
neys. Upon each and all of these organs, the
Texas Tonic Syrup acts specifically, regula
ting and controlling the Bow of bile, preven
ting or relieving that enlargmcnt of the spleen
known as the Ague Cake, strengthening the
digestive powers end removing those severs
pains of the book which arise from the tor
pidity or inflamation of tho Kidnryi. As its
name indicates, it gives a healthy tone to the
Viscera, which perform the secretion, circula
tion, and excretion. Instead of inflicting a
•hook upon the internal, as mineral medicines
necessarily do, it invigorates and assists
naturo aud,scoonds with wonderful efforts
which she makes to throw off the disease It
is not a mere palliatirs that checks or modi
fies the symptoms for a brief period but a
radical remedy that reaches and removes tb;
cause of the disorder.
Of these facts the inventors of the Texas
Tonic Syrup have had innumerable proofs
and they are prepared to establish them by
.1 l i t » :__ _
acknowledged eminence prescribe it in their
> private practice, and it is rapidly superceding
* all other preparations of its clase throughout
| the west Southwest and South. No family
1 residing in any section subject to the risita
| lions of Ague and Fever, or any billious oom
; plaint, should be without it, if they desire to
i escape the penalties of protracted sickness
| and its concomitant dangers, agonies and
I expenses.
tt is not alone for its curative properties
' that the Tonic Syrup is to be prixed. As a
preventive it is invaluable. The virus of
disease often lies hidden in the system for
months, and even years, weakening the vital
forces, and slowly, yet surely tapping the
, foundations of health and life.
The symptoms of this process appear in
sallow skin, tbs dull eye. the growing fceblo
uess of the uuconsciotis victim As soon as
these or any other foreshadowings of sickness
arc observed, such as pains in the small ol

Gentlemen: Having
long suffered from chills and fever, and after
having tried without effect, quinine, Ayer's
Ague Cure and other chill medicines, 1 was
induced to take a bottle of your Texas Tonic
Syrup, and after taking a few doses was en
tirely relieved and have not had a chill since.
Make pleasure in recommending it as a safe
and pleasant as well as speedy cure for the
above named disease. H. B. TOM81>N,
No 43 South Court Square.
Memphis, June 1, 1807.
This is to state that 1 was afflicted with Fe
ver and Ague of the moat inveterate charac
ter for about two years. I tried many reme
dies, .neluding large quantities of quinine,
etc., without avail. I was finally induced to
try the Texas Tonic Syrup—the result was
that after taking the first dose, 1 had “chills
no more," and am now rapidly recovering my
health and strength. I have sent two doien
of this valuable ague cure to my plantation at
Milliken s Bead. Every planter should keep
it on hand. H R. AUSTIN,

Dear Sirs: In March
last I had a severe attach otehills and fever.
After using the usual remedies (Quinine
Smith's Tonic, Ac., Ac.) without an; good
result., I was induced to try your Texas Tonic
Syrup. After taking a few doses 1 was en
tirely relieved, and have had no return of the
disease since. I take pleasure io recommend
ing it as a apaedy cur* of the abova named
disease. FERGUS HALL,

Gentlemen: After suf
fering more or less from the ague for f.vc
years, aud finding no permanent relief from
Physician's prescriptions or the popular rem
edies of the day, 1 was indftccd by a friend to
try your new, (though alroady widely known,)
“sure cure" for fever and ague, the Texas
fouic Syrup, and am happy to state that it
worked to a charm. I have had but one chill
since 1 commenced using it (and that was
caused by my own imprudence the third day
after,) a,though nearly three months have
elapsed, and I unhesitatingly recommend it
to all who sufftr from any form of ague as a
•afe, sura, and pleasant remedy for the tame.
Ueepoctfully Yours.
