Resiruation Of Mr.. Poston.

Among the designations handed in at the
House Of Representative yesterday, was
that of the able and influential member
from shelby-Mr. Poston. When it be-
came apparent that the majority in the
House was determined TO force the minori-

ACaA HAAANt N-A@. -
The New York Post Of The 10th rays: In
the absence Of any more pressing topic Of
novelty, Wall s~tre.tis discussing the ques-
ton Of currency reform, and attention IS
naturally directed 10 the fact that during
the last year the prices Of gold and some
| other commodities have fallen, though the
national banks have been initiating the cur
rency during the year by .he issue Of no
less than 100 millions Of dollars OF their
notes. The explanation, however, Is very
properly given that as the national baukE
have thus been driving their currency in 8
rapid stream through the gCrged current Of
the circulation, prices must have gone up
had not that current been depleted and its
swelling volume diminished in other ways.
For example, the old State Bank notes have
| disappeared as the new bank notes have
come out and secondly, the one hundred
and eighty millions Of outstanding com
pound interest notes have for the most part
ceased 10 perform the sctive fuRctions Of pa
per money. The contraction due 10 such
causes is variously estimated as equivalent
to a reduction Of two hundred aud fifty to
three hundred millions in the Initiating pew
er OF our paper money.
The contracting influence on the currency
and on prices which is exerted by the com
pound notes, have been proved by exPe-
rience 70 be so safe and effective, that the
immediate withdrawal Of fifty or one hun
dred millions Of the greenbaek currency, by
the issue Of an equal amount Of compound
interest notes, is very strongly urged. The
set Of Both June, 1864, authorizes this sub
stitution, and there is no necessity to wait
for any new legislation. Whether the Loan
bin is to be passed or not, Mr.. McCulIoch
ample powers to diminish in this way
the volume, and to correct the imitation Of
our paper money.
The loan market is inactive at 6 per cent
Commercial paper is quiet at 799, with .
fair demand.
The bank statement shows q decline Of
50, 6S2,O3S in legal tenders, and an increase
Of 81, O75, s27 in deposits. The loans, specie
and circulation, show a slight increase.

AMONGST the many complimentary

city, we know of none which we deem
as coming with so much heartfelt sin
cerity, SIS the following from the Nash
UsHs Daily Union
cat a period like the present, when our
city is filled TO overlooking with q transient
population, and diseases prevail 10 an eX-
tent hitherto undreamt Of, il is proper that
the means of cure should be of ready ac-
cess, aud that those immediately interested
should have information which will lead
them 10 avail themselves of competent
Medical advice. Men Who have been edu-
Gated Ia the best schools of the profession
Of Medicine, and been successful IN q prac-
tice Of many years, are surely worthy OF
confidence; il they have given their atten-
ton exclusively TO one branch Of the pro-
lession, aud made themselves masters OF It,
they nave still more right 10 expect sup
port, more particularly if they have afford
ed proof Of their ability 10 cure. To this
latter class belongs DR.. L. /. COLEMAN,
who, In his speciality, has been a beuetactor
TO the afflicted, and may ever be relied on
as a safe and sure physician"

IMPORTANT ARRESTS IN SUM.
NER COUNTY
Three Of Harper'sG ngwOundedan
Taken
The Civil Authorities at Work
M no.-o~.. roa &, T,u
The DesperadOes Lodged in Jail.


We have frequently had to record acts Of
robbery and murders, in the counties o.
sumner and Robertson, committed By q
band Of desperadoes-I2 or Is in number
but We are grstifed to learn that the civil
authorities have at last got On the right
trail, and captured a part ofthem, and with
the prospect Of getting the others.
From a perfectly reliable source, we learn
the following facts, relative 10 the efforts Of
these authorizes, and the success which has
attended them:
Three men-hrothers-named Shy, had
been committing robbories for the past three
or four days, in the section Of country around
Richland Station, Of horses, mules, and
whatever they could appropriate to their
use. Among the large number that have
been played upon, We are only able to learn
the names Of Messrs. MeLarphlin, Garrett
son, Aderson, StOvsl, and Davis. The peo-
pie on the Tennessee and Kentucky border
determined TO lerrit out and arrest the scoun-
drels at whatever cost; consequently a posse
went in pursuit from Kentucky, aud one
from Sumner county, with the Deputy
Sheriff Of the latter at the head. After one
or tso days pursuit, the party from Sumner
came up with the ~marauders near Richland
and sharp's creek, day before yesterday.
Here a terrible and obstinate resistance was
made by the thieves.
Some afteen or twenty shots were fred
between The parties; and not until the three
Shys were all wounded-John, the oldest,
mortally-would they surrender. Rests
lance being now no longer Of any avail,
they at length had to suecumb. They were
then taken to Richland Station and detained
over night under guard; from whence, our
informant stated, they would probably be
taken to Gsllatin the next day and placed
in Jail. It was rumored that one Of the
shys committed a rape upon some female
engaged in their nelarious work, but
The fact had not been learned certainly as
yet.
This energetic method Of doing business
will show 10 the country that the state
circulated to the effect that the civil
authorities of this State are Temiss in their
are untrue.

A Wholesale Horse Thief Caught.
Two Mules two Horses Captured.

Some time last week, a man named S. j..
Anderson brought a mule 10 this city, and
gave him over 10 Mr.. j. G.. Peutic0st, to sell
at auction, which he did-the purchaser
being 8 Mr.. Jamison, who afterwards sold
il 10 a Mr.. Ritcher. On Sunday last, a Mr..
Fuqua, Of Robertson county, came TO the
city, saw the mule, and claimed it; and af-
ter an investigation, the animal was sur
rendered 10 him.
On yesterday, Anderson again visited the
city, bringing with him two mules, and
two hor4es, which he desired Mr.. Peuticost
10 sell. Mr.. p. at once sent for detective
Cayitt, who arrested Anderson, and sent
him to Jail to await an examination to-day.
