Nashville
Especial to Cincinnati Gazette,l
NASHVILLE, December .


The citizens of Nashville tonight gave a
banquet to the congressional excursionists.
who were invited by the city authorities at
the solicitation of many of the prominent
gentlemen of the city, Among those who
insisted upon the city authorities inviting
the delegation of Congressman TO spend a
day in Nashville, were some of the most
prominent Generals in the rebel army.
Gen. Cheatham and many Others responded
to toasts.
About o'clock the party. consisting OF
near 23O guests were seated at the neat and
spacious dining hall of the st. Cloud Hotel,
which was crowded. Hundreds were at
the door and just outside. who could not
enter. Over fifty ladies accompanying the
excursion party were present, most OF
whom were the wives and daughters OF
Congrcgsmen.
Senator Foster made the first response.
Senator Wade of Ohio, was next called upon
to respond to same toast lie remarked in
substance, that while he had always held
that lIindest measures consistent with our
safety as nation should be extended tu
the Southern people, he had not rs yet in
his Southern tour heard such expressions
of love for the Union, rs would justify him
In deyiating from the course that he had
marked out from the beginning of this ses-
sion of Congress. Those who had partici-
pated In the rebellion hissed this sentiment,
while the Unionists applauded.
The affair was very successful of its kind.
EX-Tebels and Radicals shook hands at the
close, and the meeting broke up with the
best of feeling on all sides.

The Arrest of Surratt.

Under the date of Naples, November 20
a correspondent Of the London Times de-
tails the circumstances of the arrest OF
Surratt including the part acted by Gen.
King, American Minister to Rome and re-
marks as follows:
"Te these details may add that General
King gave the informer $3.50 in gold, and
held out the promised reward of $4,000
more on the arrest being effected. If the
American Government Is really desirous OF
securing its man, ! am disposed to believe
that 1t is with a view TO procure evidence
of the completely of Mr.. Jefferson Davis in
the conspiracy against President Lincoln,
and evidence of that on any other crime
might perhaps. be easily furnished by d
man who abandoned his own mother and
left her to be hanged; at the same time il
would almost appear from the bearing OF
some Of the diplomatic agents, that the
Government would have been glad had the
subject not been reviVcd.n

In January, 1874, Immediately after the
conclusion of peace with Great Britain,
Congress passed the following:
"ResolOed, unanimously, That It be, and
it is hereby earnestly recommended to the
Legislatures of the respective States, to
provide for the restitution of all the es-
tates, rights and properties, which have
been confiscated, belonging TO real British
subjects. .
"And it is also hereby earnestly recon-
mended to the several States to reconsider
and revise all their acts and laws regard
ing the premises, so as to render all the
said laws or acts perfectly consistent, not
only with justice aud equality, but with
that spirit of Cancellation which, on the
return of the blessings of peace, should
universally prevail"
Imagine the introduction Of such reso-
luton into his Congress-this Jaeobin
mob of revolutlonists aud destructionists
How many would follow, from such men
as ScHENcK, STEVENS, &C., for the immedi-
ate, ignomlhious expulsion of such meln-

GB- The funeral of Mr.. Joshua Phelan
which took place on. Monday morning,
from the residence of Mr. +. Shull, in this
city, was largely attended by his sympa-
thizing friends.
Poor Phelan died on Saturday night, al-
ter protracted illness, leaving behind Il
disconsolate wife. He was native Of Yir-
ginia, but had lived in Dayton for many
years, and had made many friends by his
amiable department, unaflectedness, and
generosity of heart. During the war, when
1t was treason to be a Democrat, Phelan
was made victim to the infamous tyranny
of military satraps, was arrested, carried
70 the military prison in Cincinnati, and
there held between two and three weeks,
subject to the vile abuse Of the vile caitins
who presided over that foul den ofhorrors.
He was finally released, but not until dis
ease had attacked his physical system, and
his mind had weakened under the effects
of wrongs and ontTages which he had to
suffer and endure. He was never his former
self after his release, to the hour of his de-
mise. Peace to his memory
"FIRsT CLASS" Rights IN A RAILROAD
CAR,--The Cinainnati Commercial relates
the following incident, which may, now
and then, carry with it useful business
moral
"A Mr.. w. p. Dale, Of New York, having
business in the West, reached Hamilton,
and, after transacting his business there
got on the Chicago and Cincinnati tram for
point further up. There were but two
cars-a ladies' car, so-ealled, and smoking
car--into which Mr.. Dale was obliged to
go, the brakesman refusing him access to
the ladies' car. He appealed to the condue-
tor, whose name is Cooper, buthe sustained
the action of the brakesman. Mr.. Dale as
serted his right TO seat in the first-class
car on the first-class ticket, and refused Ia
give It up until he received what he was
entitled to- whereupon the conductor called
the workmen on the train to his aid, ant
fOrcibly elected him from the train.
''Instead of going on the succeeding train
Mr.. Dale came 10 this city, and, going e
the Office Of the Chicago and Cincinnati
Railroad, made statement Of his case. tn,
company acted promptly in tive matter
discharged the conductor aud compensated
Mr.. Dale'for his loss Of time, aud decided
besides, that the holder of a tlrst-clas
ticket has the right TO a seat ia u frst-cl

FIRE IN CINoINNATI--A fire, on Saturday
night, occurred IN Apple q Co.'s shoe
store, on Third near Race. The flames
were first seen Issuing from the basement,
where the fire originated, but the promptar-
rival of the engines confined the fire to that
locality, and in few minutes had COM
pletely quenched 1t.
The firm occupies the basement and first
story only, and had stock on hand esti-
mated at $4,000 on which there is an in
surance of S35,OOO in the Mechanics and
Manufacturers, the Firemen's and the
Franklin Insurance Companies. Mr.. Ap-
pie estimates his loss at $4,000 at least, al
though it may be more upon a closer calcu-
lation than was possible at the time.
