The Vienna correspondent of the London Times
writing on the 8th, says:

In three weeks or a month Austria will have
6OO0 men and 1000 guns in the field and yon ma,
be sure that she win not disarm until she has CONT
to perfectly satisfactory understanding with
Prussia. If l am well informed on the subject moi
more than 100000 will be left in the southern
part of the Empire, as the possessors of the Quad
rilateral and Of Venice will have an immense ad
vantage over their enemies. 1T is pity that Itah

The Hon. Randall Hunt, one of the
genuine Senators in Congress from this
State, the eloquent defender of its
honor and rights, has returned to this
city from Washington city. He has
done excellent service there in watchN
ing over our interests, repelling SIAN
ders upon US and urging, with all the
force of his earnest nature, and the
fervor of his patriotic devotion to Lou
isiana, our title to full rights as an
equal member of the Union. He has
worked in vain for the recognition of
this title, and returns without the hope
that justice will be rendered to US dur
ing this Congress, if the Radical cohe-
sion can be kept up. But he has not
lost hope that the policy of the Presi-
dent, frank, sincere, unyielding, as just
and magnanimous, viii ultimately pre-
vail, and that, supported by the masses
of the voters of the North, whenever
they have the opportunity afforded
them, by a test question at the cleo
tons, between the President and his
adversaries, the Union will be rescued
from its enemies and restored by them.
When that contamination of our hopes
is realized, the people of Louisiana will
remember how much they owe to the
vigilance and fidelity of Randall Hunt.
Hr. Hunts health, which was far
from good for several weeks in Wash
ington, is, we are glad to learn, full y re.
stored.-N o. Pieaypne

FUNERAL or OFFICER CANALLY.-The fu-
neral OF officer Canally, yesterday, was one
Of the largest we have ever witnessed IN
this city. It was attended by the Mayor

friends on foot, followed by over fifty car
risges, filed by sympathizing parties The
remains were taken 70 the Cathedral, where
there were relig ious ceremonies, after which
they were carried TO the Catholic cemetery
and inferred.
lIr. Canally was well known, and one o.
the most inonensiye men we ever met. AZ
an officer, he was ever ready TO do his duty
never shrinking from any danger; but he
was never rough, and always preferred
mild to severe means. His loss is q severe

RAILROAD MEETISG.-A meeting Of the di-
reetors Of the Knoxville, Nashville and
Memphis railroad was called for yesterday
afternoon, but no quorum being present, an
adjournment was voted till this morning al
IL o'clock. In this connection, we clip the
following from the Memphis Bulletin:
At meeting of the stockholders of the
Memphis and Little Rock Railroad Com
pany, held yesterday at the Office Of r. c.
Brinkley, two Directors were elected, and
the number filed authorized by the Char
ter. President-R. G. Brinkley. Directors
H. B. Edmondson, Geo. D. Prentice, NJ. J
Wicks, VIM. Dixou. Measures were dis
eussed, involving the speedy completion oil
the road to Little Rock.
This will be q continuation of the road
from Knoxville to Memphis by way Of this
city, and will form a part of the great
chain reaching from the Atlantic to the Pa
cifc.
We understand that the portion of the
road constructed by the Government during
the war for its own uses has been given To
the Company. Not much time or money
is necessary for the completion ofIfhe whole
and, when completed, it will be of inestima
BILE value, not only &c Arkansas, and Ten
nessee, but TO other States.
The country needs at least three lines Of
railroads from the Atlantic to the Pacific
one by way of st. Paul, another by st.
Louis, and third through Tennessee, Ar
kansas, and northern Texas, to San Diego,
California.

Portraits Of Hon. Henry CLAW

We mentioned some time ago that a
painting, a full length portrait of
Henry Clay, had been placed on exhi.
bition at the Capitol, by the artist VIM.
Fry, Esq, of Huntsville, Ala Since
then another painting, the same SUBJ
ject, has been brought to our city and
placed in competition with Mr.. Fry's
for acceptance by the committee ap.
pointed by the Legislature to purchase
a portrait of Mr.. Clay for the Senate
Chamber. 1t Is executed by Phineas
Stanton, Rsq., of New York, and is an
historical painting rather than a mere
portrait. The Artist has introduced Mr..
Clay as in the old Senate Chamber, sur
rounded by his friends, men of ma
tional renown, listening to the en-
trancing words which charmed always
those who heard them. The great
orator is represented as he appeared a
year previous to ais death the old man
eloquent, reused 10 the FIRE and Yigor Of
youth by the Importance eff his theme.
On his right is seated VIM III. Seward,
and on his left his lifelong friend, John
J. Crittenden, with Douglas, Benton,
Cass, Sam Houston, Underwood and
Robertson, the two latter of Kentucky.
In the lobby stand Webster, R. M. 4.
Hunter, Letcher, of Kentucky, and
General Scott. The portraits of these
gentlemen are exceedingly ife-like,
That of Mr. Clay is almost perfect. His
son, John M. Clay, Esq, one of the
committee appointed to decide upon
the merits of the two paintings, said Of
it, "Mr Stanton, in my opinion, gives
an expression almost, if not quite, i'm.
possible to be excelled on canvass. No
comparison between the two paintings
as TO merit and resemblance"
The committee appointed by Cover
nor Bramlette to decide upon the re-
spective merits of the paintings, gave
their decision in favor of Mr.. Fry's
We believe that in the composition of
this committee regard was had rather
to their acquaintance with Mr. Clay
than to their ability to judge of the
artists work, so that we may regard
this decision as in favor of the likeness
rather than the execution of the paint.
ing. 1t appears to US, however, that
Mr. Stanton's painting is much more
appropriate to the purpose for which
it is intended As an historical paint
ing representing Mr.. Clay in his de
clining years, surrounded by his old
friends and associates, those who knew
and appreciated him for his true
worth, it would well grace the walls Of
our Senate chamber We have already
given our judgment as to Mr.. Fry's
portrait, and believe it to be an excel
lent one in all its features; but taken
in its entireness we think Mr.. Stan
toms exceIs it. We hope that this
latter will yet be retained in the State.

Correspondence Of the Nashville Union.
AT THE FAIR GROUNDS, May 81, 1896.
Leaving GAINESVILLE at nine o'clock and
thirty minutes, We were soon dumped out at
the station Immediately in front Of the
grounds. Three he'd quite number already
assembled, and the crowd continued TO as
sembe until it had reached between six and
seven thousand. The exercises were com
meneed By grand entry Of six; three la
dies-Miss Warfeld, Miss Lewis and Miss
Crozier-with Messrs. VIM. Kerr, Frank
Anderson and Tom Mcclure as eseorts-the
ladies looking particularly handsome, and
the gentlemen as gay and happy as larks.
After RECALLING the large audience with an
exhibition Of graceful riding, they retired
amidst the plaudits Of the crowd.
Next in order came the Knights, each
attired in appropriate costume, as follows
W. a. Elliott, as Cavalier Bayard Aus
tin Peay, as Rob Roy; Vim. McGuene, as
Raymond Di Prosidi Buck Buckner, as
Ell Campeador Henry Herndon, as Thad-
deus Of Warsaw; Fisher Merrett, Scott Cav
alier; Geo. Wills, as Hiawatha; Mont
gomery Merrett, as Black Prince William
Small, as Roderick Dhu; j. IT. Allensworth,
as knight Of the Fallen Banner; 10. Har-
ris, as Walter Raleigh NJ. W. Carnell, as
knight of the Poplar Hills; H. A. Young,
as Knight of Showdown; J. NJ. Bourne, as
Kit Tell Geo. Mcdaniel, as Sue Munday;
n. F. Hood, as Swedish Knight L. S.
Young, as Knight Of the Silver Moon.
tn ere were two successive rulings at the
rings by the Knights, the second of which
resulted in favor Of Mr.. W. A. Elliott, he
being declared the victor. Ia presenting
the laurel wreath, Hon. Gus. Henry paid
a high compliment TO the gentlemen for
their dignifed and gallant bearing. Mr..
Elliott received the wreath upon the end Of
his spear, with the remark from NJ. Henry
that he could either crown the lady Of his
choice as the "Queen Of Love and Beauty"
or delegate some one to perform the pleas
ant duty. Gen. Cerro Gordo Williams being
empowered with such authority, but a
short time elapsed before the lady was
designated, and with a few appropriate re-
marks, the handsome prize was gracefully
placed upon the fair brow Of Miss Mollie
Boyd, of Clarksville.
An adjournment was then had for dinner,
after which ring was made up for the sad
die, an elegant whip being the prize. Mr..
Buckner vas accorded the prize as being the
most graceful rider. We omitted to men
tion in the outset, that Gen. w. A. Quarles
delivered a very chaste and handsome ad-
dress TO the Knights just before entering
upon the contest for the wreath, which we
viii have to reserve, with the remainder of
| our notos, for another issue.
Up to the hour at which we close, (half
past four o'clocl) the interest seems unaba-
ted, and the occasion promises to be all that
was fondly anticipated. H.
