PROPERTY OWNERS VS..
LABORERS.

The newspapers of the city, during our mu-
nicipal contest, have seemed to take two things
for granted: 1st; that the Radical nominees
for office were very poor men; and, I'd, that
mans political influence should be measured
by his property. Neither of these propositions
are true.
We have in the new City Council men of pro-
perry like Ogden, Wilson, Grant, Shankland,
Donaldson, Thornberg, Knowles, Woodmansee
H. c. Smith, Yarbrough, Hammer, Thayer,
Cochrane and others. Have such men as these
no property interest in the cityp
But it is not true that in a republican govern
ment mans political influence should be
measured by his wealth. This was not the
doctrine of 1776-not the doctrine of Jefferson
and Adams. One American citizen, if he be
honest is as good as another. But, we are
asked, eWho is to look after the interests of
capital 90 We inquire, in turn, "Who is to
look after the interests of labor Pr Is the city
to be controlled in the interest of capitalists
solely Does Nashville exist for the especial
benefit of a thousand men of wealth Have
thirty five thousand poor men no rights Is
the laborer to be accounted a mere cypher nj
the body polite If so, what becomes of our
to be an American citizen2 In the name of
Washington and jackson, of the Declaration of
Independence and Bunker Hill, let us hear no
more of this prating about the superior rights
or claims of rich men.
ssThe rank is but the guinea's stamp;
The mans the gold for a. that.'

4 PROCLAMATION BY THE
GOVERNOR.
STATE OF TENNESSEE,
Executive Department,
Nashville, September 18th, 1857.


WHEREAS, Some excitement has
grown out of the agitation of the
subject of the approaching Municipal
elections to come off the ensuing fall
and winter, in the several cities and
towns of this State; and whereas,
controversy has actually arisen in
two or more cities as to who are
qualified voters in such elections,
and who are the proper authorities
to appoint the Judges and Clerks of
said elections;
Now, therefore, 1, WILLIAM G.
BRowNLow, Governor of the State
Tennessee, in the discharge of the
duties imposed upon me by law, do
hereby proclaim that the Commits
sioner of Registration under the
Franchise law is the proper person
to appoint the Judges and Clerks of
all elections; and that the qualified
Voters in all Municipal elections are
those only who have certificates of
registration, and who are qualified to
vote for members of the General
Assembly. The Franchise law is a
part and parcel of the Constitution
has been sustained by the Supreme
Court of Tennessee-and all elections
held in violation Of said law are null
and void, and of no effect whatever.
In testimony whereof, 1 have
hereunto set my official signature
and caused the Great Seal of the
State of tennessee to be affixed, a
the Executive Department, in Nash

HsgP We need CITY LIBRARY, one to which
every citizen, whether rich or poor, has access
at all times, during business hours as well
as in the evening after the tolls of the day are
over. Our new City Council counts in its men,
bers several men who themselves have had the
opportunity of enjoying the benefits of free
library in other cities. Will they improve their
positions by giving our beautiful city that
treasure, which is SO easily procured, and
which viii be of incalculable advantage to our
poor fellow citizens zsE

It's Wellyith the Child.

Bishon Leighton thus wrote to his
sisters husband GU the death Of a be.
loved child
" am glad of your health, aud of the
recovery Of your littIo ones but, in.
deed, it was sharp stroke of he pen
that told me your little Charlie was
dead, and felt it truly more than to my
remembrance than | did the death OF
any child in my lifetime. Sweet thing
and he is so quickly laid asleep? Happy
he Though we shall no more have
the pleasure of his lispiug and crying,
nor the pain of being sick, or of dying ;
and hath wholly escaped the trouble of
schooling, and the suffering of boys, as
well as the ripper and deeper griets of
upper years.-tbis poor life being moth
ing all along but linked chain of ma
ny sorrows and many deaths. Tell my
dear sister she is now so much more
akin to the other world, and this will
be quickly passed to us all. He is but
gone a few hours earlier to bed, as the
children used to do, and we arc undress-
ing to follow. And the more we put
off the love of the world and all things
surpera uous beforehand, we shall have
less to do when we lie down."

cut Where had she been all this
time 2
But she told them tn at she had nev-
er crossed the Connecticut, and that she
had been lost in the woods all this
time. There was no lack of hospital
| ity the wanderer was Immediately clad
and fed and cared fof to the utmost.
Volunteers went at once and brought
her husband, for the story of his be-
| reavement was well known on the
Charleston side of the river.
We can only imagine the meeting
and the tears that were shed at the
thought of the little forsaken grave bv
the uprooted tree. But it is said that
JOY bells were rung in the village, and
the poor woman living skeleton, was
nursed and petted-everybody vieing
with her neighbor to lavish every good
thing upon her until her weakened mind
recovered its tone again.
As she constantly asserted she had
never crossed the river, it is supposed
she wandered into Canada, and going
round the Connecticut at its source, or
crossing where it was a brooklot, passed
down the New Hampshire d until she
reached a location just opposite that
from which she started.
When she began to grow strong
again her mind recurred constantly to
the grave in the wilderness. She de-
scribed to her husband its surroundings
and he went and searched for it but
without success. AS soon as she was
able, she went ont with her husband
and other friends to search but the
baby's grave was Never found.
1t was thought very strange that she
IN all her wandering, never met a rov.
ing Indian, but so it was. The Indian
tribes had perhaps nearly disappeared
from New England since the French
and Indian war but however that may
be the first human being she saw after
the burial of her infant, was in Char.
lesion.
This singular legend has decended
to the writer, from a defendant of hers,
who was the third child born it the town
of Rockingham, Vermont, and the story
is an undoubted fact.

After while Jack said, "I must 90

Jack saw the apple and the pear w.

best, and so, without thinking whether
he was doing as he would be done by.
he said he must have a bite of that ar.
pie, and set out to get it. Kate saw his
motion, and laying hold of the ladlo
that belonged to her as cook, she began
to lay the strokes on Jacks head and
shoulder with 2 good deal Of effect.
How long the contest lasted, Or what
ended it, we need not say; but in less
than half an hour he seen? changed to
making it up.
The apple and the pear had beer ly,

dcring what the silly children were
Quarrcling about and Kate and Jack be-,

bruising each other. So Jack told Kate
that he was only in fun when he spoke
of getting bise Of her apple, for he
was really quite satisfied with his year.

Great Curiosity.

A person ofan observing turn of mind
if he has rods through a country town,
he has noticed how curious youngsters
along the route viii fill the windows
with their anxious faces, in order to
catch a glimpse of all passers by.
A Yankee podler drove up in front Of
a house one day, and seeing all hands
and the cook staring from the windows,
got of from his cart, and the following
dialogue took place with the man Of the
house: .-'
Has there been funeral in your
family lately ?" -.
No, why?"
"I saw there was one pane of glass
that didn't have a head in IT,"
You leave blasted quick, Or there
