There were fourteen cases tried before
Recorder Shane yesterday--6 for obstruc-
ting sidewalks; 6 for disorderly con-
duct for drunkenness and disOrderly
conduct; 8 for drunkenness for run
ming hack without license. Under the
corporation laws, no one has authority
to put anything on the sidewalks so as
to obstruct passing, in the least or to
place distractions in the streets. The
police officers have commenced seeing
that the laws on this subject are ex-
ccuted and it would be well enough for
business men to be on their guard.

The CoNwAYs.-The citizens of Nash
vile, who have attended the New Theatre
during the engagement Of the Conways,
regret exceedingly that circumstances
prevent their re.engagement. No artists
have conferred more real pleasure, and
none have made deeper or more lasting
impression here, or more sincere and
warm friends. Their engagement has
been success, in every sense of the
word-pecuniarily, professionally, and
socially-And thousands in our midst
will look forward with pleasurable an
ticipations to their return with the open
ing Of the flowers and the budding of
the leaves next spring. They will be
delighted also TO know that, before their
favorites leave, they will have another
opportunity TO see them, complimenta-
ry Benefit having been rendered them to-
morrow night. On this occasion, which
will be one Of more than ordinary inter.
est, Mr.. Conway plays Cardinal Richie

lovely Julie de Mortimer, The Cardinal

scholar and actor enough to throw around

ture, and Of the art Of tho stage. But in
Julie We expect an impersonation far
above any we have seen here Of that
part With the requisite intelligence to
conceive the poets meaning, and to read
his beautiful language correctly, Mrs.
Conway combines the personal graces
which add so much TO the charms Of the
hisirionic art.

REcRurrrNa PsosrEcTs.-Wc learn
st the head dquarters Of the State Recruiting
service that operations in the recruiting line
are becoming little more active. Daring the
month OF November the entire number Of re-
sruits mustered in ct thls office was only
about sixty. Last week alone forty-two re-
etuits we're mustered in, and this week no to
Thursday night. sixty.t~o recruits had ar.
rived. This shows increasing activity. Ad-
vices received At Col. Grisr's Office from rs.
eruitins ofices in different parts Of the State,
60 70 show that volunteering 10 bseouipg
quite active. Il 10 probsbls that hundred
or more will be furoishsd the coming week
Besides the recruits mentioned above about
tve handrsd that we're left over after the or
esoix.tioo Of the 9th Cavalry. The greatest
drawback that recruiting has 70 encounter at
this tins 10 the existence Of the $500 comm.
tstion clau.e II that were removed tho re-.
cruiting officers would be much more astiysly
engaged than they are now. Recruiting in
this city. at present seems 10 be almost dead
letter. There may have been few cases, bu,
We have heard Of none.
About two hundred recruits will be sen,
south next Monday.
We would advise those Who are waiting to
pay their three hundred dollars not 10 coun,
upon that opportunity-for there 10 . very
stseog probability that that plssssrs will b,

THEArRIcAL.-rhe appearance Of the
noted actor Daniel E. Bandmann at the Ge,>
man Theatrs last evening, in the character
Of Hamlet, was the most excellent treat Of the
season. The house vas crowded to its ut
most capacity. A large portion Of the audi
encs we're perfectly oblivicus to the language
in which the play was given. yet for all that
It was plain to be seen that the style and
and presence Of Mr.. Bandmann was of the
very first order. His style seems psrlectly
~ rral snd easy-nothing overdone- nothing
omitted. the presence Of. which would en-
nance the value Of the play. In gesture and
manner throughout. this actor ehows bimse'f
. man Of the 6nest talent aud cultivation. We
understand that he appears once more a. the
German Theatre before leaving the city.
The public ehoaid turn ont to morrow night
aud hear his readings at Metropolitan Hall
He is perfectly fluent is the English language

than upon any other.
