GERMAN BITTERS,

GERMAN TONIC,
Prepared by
DR. C. At...TAcicso,N,
Philadelphia, Pa,
Twenty-two years since they were drat intro
duced Into this country Irma Germany, during
which time they have undoubtedly performed
more cures, and benefited mattering humanity
to a greater extent, than any other remedies
known to the public.
These remedies will effectually curoLiver Cont
e 1 atilt, Jaundice, D3•spepsle, Chronic
or Nervous Debititk 10 Chronic Dlarrhcea,
Diseases of the Ri neya and all diseas
es arising from a dis- ordered Liver,
Stomach, or Intestines. •
I EDII,ITY,
Resulting from nay cause whatever; Prostru,
tion. or the System, induced by Severe
Labor, Hardships, Exposure,
Fevers, Etc.
There is no Medicine extant equal to these
remedies in such cases. A tone and vigor Is Im
parted to the whole system, the appetite is
strengthened, food is enjoyed, the stomach di
gests promptly, the blood Is ',Uri:led, the com
plexion becomes sound and healthy, the yellow
tinge is eradicated from the eyes, abloom is
given to the cheeks, and the Weak and nervous
Invalid becomes a strong and healthy being.
Persons advanced in life, and feeling the hand
of time weighing heavily upon them, with all
its attendant Ms, will and in the use of this
BITTERS, or the TONIC, an elixir that will in
stil new life into their veins, restore in a meas
ure the energy and ardor of more youthful days,
build up their shrunken forms and give health
and happiness to their remaining years.
NOTICE.
It is a well established fact that fully one - ball
of the female portion of our popubtillon
aro seldom in the en- T 'joyment of good
health ; or, to use _Li their own expres
sion, "never t eel well." They are
devoid of all energy, extremely nervous,
and have no appetite.
To thts,closs of persons the BITTEft.4, or the
TUNIC, is eapeclally recommended.
Weak and delicate children are nuide strong
by the use of tither of these remedies. They
will cure every case of MARAfiIIUS, without
fail. Thousands of certificates have accumula
ted In the hands of the proprietor, but space
will allow of but few. These t it will be observed,
are Men of note and of such standing that they
! must be believed.

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE SOUTH.
Letter from a Candid Republican to a
Radical 'Paper.
NASHVILLE, TENIV., Aug: 26,18C8.
Correspondence of the Pittsburgh Chronicle.]
Enrron. CITROXICLE:-.1 have before me
your kind letter, in which you are pleased to
say, before asking me for "a fair and clear
statement of the situation in Tennessee," that
you know me to be "perfectly reliable."
)Jut, sirs, do you think your fellow-citizens
of Pennsylvania generally will believe my
statement? Notwithstanding your assur
ance, in advance, of my reliability, perhaps
It may assist in dispelling clouds of i prejudice
in the minds of some readers, if I state tide,
what you know very well to bp .true; that I
tuts Pennsylvanian by birth, was ever an
emancipationist, and wean Unionist through
out the late political warfare of sections—
that I am one of the very few white people
in Tennessee who are allowed to vote.
Though an undisputed voter, I am not clear
in my mind that I shaU vote at all ra the
coming Presidential election, because I can
not exactly see how my vote eau accomplish
anything. As to the two parties which have
nominated candidates for the Presidency and
Vice-Presidency I can say this, most consci
entionsly If I could cast my own vote, and
that of every voter in the State, for the can
didates who would sootiest restore the equi
librium beween taxation and representation,
svould suffer much hardship to cast them,
whether those candidates are the Republican
or the Democratic nominees. Thus fitr by
way of introduction.
rni srrvAT ) tol , , - TENNEssr.F.
You ask not only for a statement of the
situation, but also of the causes that have
lately been and now are at work to produce
strife in Tennessee. I shall endeavor, lirst,
to state briefly and plainly, the situation.
By this I — understand situation of public af
fairs—the relationship between the Govern
ment - and the
,governed : the relationship
between the tax payer and tax collector, be
-tween those who control both the purse and
the sword, and those who pay taxes to sus
tain both the purse and the•sword.
The entire power of the State, then, rests
in The hands of the negroes. I suppose you
have few such negroes about Pittsburgh—
few in all the great States of Pennsylvania.
If I should describe their ignorance,Their indo
lence,their dishonesty and deep depravity, by
stating actual facts which daily come under my
observrition, some of your readers would ref
ject say statements as fictitious. 'Ladies and
gentlemen who have lived all their days in
their happy Pennsylvania, or Ohio, or New
York homes, will not believe that men, wo
men and children, who have beard the gos
pel preached all their lives,aad who_dwelt
comfortably in Christian families, till the war
severed their social connections, could be so
degraded in body, mind, and morals,.as are
these negroes, who to-day hold in their hands
the political power of Tennessee. I say, the
negroes hold all power, because the number
of whites permitted to vote is so small as to
be absolutely contemptible. And these few
are so completely under the arbitrary sway
of commissioners of registration, that voting
in the last election is no guarantee of per
! mission to vote in the next.
REGISTRATION SYSTEM
The Commissioners of registration are ap
pointed directly by the Governor, and when
ever the complexion of a 'registration does
not suit him, he is empowered by the law to
annul it and to appoint a new commissioner,
Rho will make an enrollment of voters more
in accordance with his wishes. This power
is exercised freely. These registration agents
not only commission the voters, but bold the
elections, selecting the Judges, Receivers,
and Clerks. Under 'a • former registration
law, passed since the recognition of the• State,
elections were held by.direction of the Sheriff
and County Courts. Elections thus held se
cured a respectable, though small minority
of members of the Legislature; adverse to the
Governor—generally Republican. When
the partisans of the Governor saw' this, they
excluded most of the anti-Brownlow mem
bers, end then remodeled the registration
law..
TELE. LEGISLATUItr.
While the power is thus placed in the
bands of the ne,groes, it is directed by a few
white men--ehtelythose who gave the bal
lot to the negro. These ingratiate them
selves with the negreez, and manage to wield
their votes in solid bodkw. Thewhite direc
tors of this joint stock laciness are not all
from the Northern States. :,thy are simply
irresponsible, needy adventureta, from every
where. Quite a fair proportion•Of Ahem are
native Tennesseeaus. To illustrate, ; will
state, that of seventy-eight members .of ,the
present Tennessee Bouts of Representatives..
whose birth places:were carefully ascertained,
fifty.one were Urn. in Tennessee, and 'four
teen in other Southern States. Only nine of
the seventy-eight were born in thelCorthern
Stato. Some were Europeans, and others
uncertain. Of twenty-four meters of the
Senate, which I analyzed in lute manner,
sixteen were found to be Tennesseeans by
birth, five born in dither Southern States,
two in Northern States, and one in Europe.
Yet, among all these, there are very tew
whose hand is worth more than the paperon
which itis written. Their word is as good
as their band. They do not at all represent
the taxable people.
COLTISTY. COIIMMIDISERS-
But it was found, notwithstanding this
legislative organization upon the basis of
negro suffrage, taxation could not be abso
lutely controlled in some counties, because
of county courts, composed of magistrates
elected several years since, and still holding
out by virtue of unexpired term.. To remove
such obstacles, acts were passed abolighlng
the powers of such county courts; and
County Commissioners" of irresponsible
persons, like those composing the .Legisla•
ture, were elected by the negro vote. In
this heavy tax paying county, one of the
Commissioners is an illiterate negro--u very
idscit one.. In addition to the taxes piked
upon the people's shoulders by the ',opals
tare, these Commissioners may order further
levies, for county purposes.
TAXATION AND THE NEGROES.
Proceeding still further in the thorough work
of removing all power from the taxpayers,
the cities have been conformed to the same
rule la their municipal government. Those
who decide how much and in what manner
the citizens or property-holding people of
Nashville shall be . taxed, are utterly km
sponsible=the boOn companions of negroes.
They are directly interested in heavy taxa
tion, for this reason, that they desire to col
lect great swarms-of negroes about the city,
to vote for themselves; and Must needs have
a great deal of work upon the streets and
alleys to let out, as a means of feeding these
voters. As the taxpayers are powerless,
competition arises among these aegro,frater
nixing irresponslbles, and each faction is
anxious to bring in, every available negro
from abroad. Here is a temptation to the
paying out of vast sums for work which, is
useless to the city, by the faction in power.
While I write you, I am informed, by wit
nesses, black and white,- that in one large
frame building in the northwestern suburb
of Nashville, there arc two hundred negro
men who persist in declaring that they have
been driven hither for refuge from the Ku
I Klux Klan in Giles; Maury, Williamson, and
'Marshall counties. I have taken some trou
ble to inquire into the facts, and learn- that
they have been partly driven by laziness,
and partly enticed by the promise of easy
sad lucrative work in this city and of calk*
mint in militia service
ANOTIIEII ITS.V.
I have shown you, as Nearly as I may, la
this limited letter, how taxes are assessed
upon the people, and by what manner of
men, and how much of the money is expend
ed. But this does not give the panorama of
taxation fully. The law of this - State--still
tmrepealed, requires of revenue collectors
heavy Bonds. While the county courts ex
fisted, this law wasenforced ; but now, under
"commissioners, a nominal bond is sufficient,
in abet wards, no bond at all. In - this
county, for example, an irresponsible stranger
is revenue collector and this man get in his
possession hundreds of thousands 4:17 dollars.
He could not give a real bond ; so the com
missioners have taken a fictitious bond,
signed by a number of his associate ^en
turer& This bond should cover at least map
hundred thousand dollars; it does non cover
five thousand. -
Under such a system, every pretest fret.
levying appropriations of money 'by St4lB,
'county or city, is sought. As e. el:l4k of
city enterprise, I will 'just mention that a
body of swamp land, near the race' tracks,
outside the suburbs, ocenpled y butchers
and coopers, has just been ha.sed tor
forty-six thousand dollars, to converted'
into a city park. hest year if the present
h
authorities remain in pow 14loubt not
great aunt s will be expend .
a (little at
tempt to redeem this lane its wasted
condition. There will be *. It b es
timated that there is a populatlimitif Wont
fourteen thousand whites, and about eight
thousand blacks in Nashville. In all these
things which are being done in the name of
government, the non-taxpaying eight thous

nave merely glanced at "the situation."
Be assured, my representation, in far from
being overdrawn, falls short, of the facts.
But you inquire about the cause of strife.
The white people seem stupilled,paralyzed.
One meets the other and says, "What shall
we do to avert utter ruin ?" The other looks
despondingly, and says, "What can we do?
Our hands are tied." Ldo assure you, that
ninety-nine, one hundredth parts of alt the
talk you hear of Ku-Klux organizations, and
the like, are mere fabrication. To be sure
lynch law is used sometimes, in very aggra
vated cases of rape and murder, but thin is
because the Governor has
,rendered legal
punishment ineffectual, by pardoning the
highest offenders by the wholesale. Ile en
larged upon this_city a trio of outlaws who
murdered a policeman on duty ; and they
had not been out of the penitentiary many
weeks, when one of them assisted in binding
a citizen to a tree, within five miles of the
city, and robbed him in daylight.
AOCOUNT OF A MOB
Mobs are sometimes encouragedopenly by
the Governor. I will give an instance,which
occurred soon after he was elected the find
time. Two acquaintances—a Mr. Hall, who
had served in the Federal army, and a Mr.
Baker who bad served in the rebel army--
met near the court house in Knoxville. After
some words bad passed, Hall began to chas
tise Baker with his cane. A. struggle ensued,
in which Baker was overpowered, and' in
self-defence he drew a pistol and shot his as
sailant, causing death. Baker was lodged in
jail. Late that night a mob took him from
the jail and hanged him. Governor Brown
low was in Knoxville at the time, and a day
or two after the tragic occurrence he pub
lished a card in his paper which contained
the following, with much other inflammatory
lanvage
"There are those in town who are perfect
ly shocked at these outrages, and are asking
why the Governor does not interfere. * *
* The Governor is not so much horrified as
many others. * * * The Governor may
have been a little used to scenes of this kind,
and not feel as deeply as he ought on this
solemn occasion."
I could quote you many similar passages
from the Governor's writinga,,lnciting the
people to acts of lawless violence.. Bat - you
know something of this strange man's char
acter, and most of your readers know he is
not a peace maker.
CONCLUSION
For fear of growing wearisome to yens
readers, I must close, "this letter by saying
that the people of Tennessee—the white peo
ple are exceedingly quiet, when the circum
stances are considered. But lam fearful, if
the Legislature turns loose a negro militia
upon them, as that body is din:wetting to do
—thus adding heavy taxation and greatly in
creasing murder and rapine—their patience
will fail them, and we shall have strife of
some magnitude. They have earnestly pe
titioned the Legislature not to loosen an army
of negroes upon them, and have at the same
time prayed to be enfranchised. In these
petitions many white Reptiblicans and not a
few negroes of the better classes have joined.
Among the Republicans who participated, I
mention the name of Judge Shackelford, re
cently of the Supreme Court. But the pea
• goners have been contemptuously spurned.
A bill is now pending in this extra Legisla
ture, authorizing the Governor to organize
as large a militia force as he may desire, and
to proclaim martial law whenever he shall
think it necessary. If such authority be
given, he wilt most assuredly use it with a
high band. To expect that the white pee
, pie will quietly submit to murder and pillage
' at the hands of such an organization in time
of peace,is scarcely within the bounds of Ten
on. W. L.
A Good Ilimdtation•
Ilon. T. A. Hendricks, of Indiana, the
"Democratic candidate for Governor, in a
speech of great soundness and force, in show
ing the importance of 'harmony and good
_rating between the North and South, and
the advantages of reciprocal trade between
the South and North-western States, gave
the following happy illustration:
"The sweetest lesson of our religion is to
be found in the parable of the Prodigal Son.
That son, y ou recollect. became tired of the
best home in the world, and wandered off to
seek his fortune among strangers. Seceding
from the paternal roof, soon poverty and
hunger came upon him, and he concluded to
return. If that father, who `saw him afar
off,' had been a Radical; what world he have
r.said ? 'There comes my rebellions son i He

terms az the rest of the boys and gilts. No,

Carl Schurz on his visit to this place, last
week, was a certain "William," in other and
plainer and shorter words, an unsettled bill
of $25. $l9 for clothing obtained of Mr.
Wm. Nickum, in Bethlehem, whilst a "sum
mer boarder" in that place three years ago.
He had been repeatedly "dunned' by letter,
but never gave the matter any attention.
So on coming here he was "faced" by Con

amount, but the official might as well - lave

get Schurz to liquidate honest debts. Ile put
forth all manner of excuses, said he would
refer it to his wife, that she settled all his
debts, etc. The constable not being disposed
to depend on any of his promises, or put faith
in his allegations, made short work of the
matter by placing the account in snit before
Alderman Beek, who on Monday awarded
judgment against Schurz for the amount.
Altranzo Itccrotrr.—A few evenings since,
at one of the Republican meetings held in

broke out in a stentorian voice—" The thun

These taxes fall in a large. degree upon t he
laboring man. The-merchant adds his texes
to the price of his goods, and the consumer
has to pay them. The landlord inereasea his
rent the amount of his taxes. The tailor duly
adds them to the cost of his cloths, and ids
patrons foot the bill. But upon whom i.,
the laboring man to shift his taxes? Nobody.
Its shoulders are Atlas-like, and considered
broad enough to sustain the taxes of the en
tire 'country. But what is the aggregate
amount of our taxes in legal-tenders in the
State of Pennsylvania ? Of the Federal taxes
this State pays one-eighth, which amounted
Wit year to $70,000,000, the entire National
amount being $560,000,000. Our State and
local taxes were $20,000,000 more, making
in all $90,000,000. Of this last item the Gov
ernment bonds, which amount to one-fitlh of
all the property, and which by a Itailital
favoritism are exempt from taxation, pay
nothing, and their share is accordingly thrust
upon the laborer tb pay. There are 600,000
voters in Pennsylvania, and tweet an average
each of them pay WO a year to the tax
game Is not this a frightful sum? sup
pose it were demanded at once, how many
voters would,be able to pay it? But it is
none the less oppressive because It is collect
ed in small ems in the course of the year.
But $l6O would pay for all the flour and all
the groceries which are consumed by ordi
nary families in the course of a twelve-month.
Voters, would you rather not use the money
in this way than pay it to a Government
whose appointees steal half of it, at least, and
the remaining half of which they, to a great
degree, uselessly sqnander. We are now the
most oppressively taxed people upon the face
of the earth, Great Britain, with her Estab
lished Church, her standing army and navy,
and her vastdebt, the interest of which she
has to pay yearly, manages to get along with
$550,000,000 in gold, or $500,000,000 in legal
tenders. France, wills an Imperial Court,
And with an army of nearly a million or men,
only collects in taxes some $450,0000500 an
nually in legal-tenders. -But we in the Uni
ted States must have, in these days 'of Well
ed ascendency, not leas than $800,000,000. a
year in Federal, State and local taxes—a
sum nearly equal tolhe taxes of France and
England, which have, combined, twice our
population and five times our wealth.
When the Democreer were in- power
in the United States, the. tax upon
each voter ifid not average more than $49 or
$5O a year ; and if they are restored to their
ascendency, they will soon pat hack the
taxes to about that figure. By paying the
debt as it falls due, in greenbacks, and avoid
ing the immense interest which is now .
poverishing us, we shall soonbe in a position
to dispense with stamp taxes, income taxes,
taxes upon business sales, and licenses upon
professions, taxes upon tea and calm, aud
a thousand other articles upon which the .
consumer, in consequence of taxes, is now
paying double price, without really knowing
at. A vote for the Democratic. ticket is,
therefore, a vote to be rid of taxation in its
most offensive phases. L vote for the Re
