A Nashville drinking saloon has hack,
regularly employed, to carry its patrons
home as fast as they get drunk. This
relieves the saloon of nuisance, and in
sures the tight gentleman q good ride

Our saloons are far behind this one Of
Nashville, and perhaps for want ofability,
but We see no reason why the council,
so ready to abate other nuisances, cannot
introduce suitable conveyance for the
every day nuisance to be seen on the
streets every afternoon between the hours
of one and FIVE o'clock. A sober live

incident at arecent masked ball in that
city. A young couple, finding their steps
constantly, doggedRby a female figure in a
black domino, were about to leave the the
ater in order to escape from the espionage,
when the stranger placed herself before
them, and dashed vial cot vitriol in the
face of the gentleman. The domino. on
being arrested and unmasked, proved to
be a lady of the, aristocraey, and the wife
of the young man whom she had thus dis
figured; she had also just obtained ajudi-
cial separation from him. The face and
neck of the husband were horribly burnt
and one eye was completely destroyed
The domino had also spilled so much of the

Anew Electrical Light-WOnder-
3E full Discovery.


Mr.. III. Wilde, of Liverpool, has brought
out new discovery in electricity during
the past year, which is described as ex
ceedingly brilliant and important. He has
found method of producing electricity in
quantities and of an intensity hitherto un-
known, by the action of feeble electrical
currents upon powerful magnets. His ap-
paratus consists of six permanent magnets
weighing only a pound each, a teninch
electro magnetic machine, having an elec=
stro magnet weighing three pounds (Which
accumulateS and retains the developed
electricity!on the same principle as an int
sulated submarine cable TOr the Leyden
jar), and an armature revolving within an
iron cylinder at the rate of fifteen hundred
turns a. minute! The cylinder is about a
foot long, and has a bore of twoland a hall
Inches; the armature which plays within
it not touching the sides, is eoiled about
with insulated copperwire. 1T is from this
armature, when the different parts of the
apparatus have BEEN connected and put
into operation, that the electricity is evolV-
ed and the effects are produced. ~ 5t 20

ButIer and Bingham.

BUTLER, the Beast, and BINGHAM, from
this State, had word set to in Congress on
the 21st. BINGHAM twitted BUTLER with
having voted 81 times for JEFF. DAVIS in
the Charleston Convention and insinnated
very strongly that he was no great shakes
of General In reply BUTLER plainly
charged that BINGHAM was in great de-
gree responsible for the execution of Mrs.
SURRATT, whom he regarded as an innocent
woman. We have feeling of perfect i'm
partiality for these gentlemen, and therefore
are willing to believe them fully as bad as
they represent each other. AS Congress is
now held to be the Government by the
majority, and these men belong to that
majority, all the people have to do to as
certain why it is that the times are so
mournful, is to turn to the Bible, where
they will learn that ''when the aoicked rule
the people mourn.'

z 'PlreDarin~ for "a RoIt,

The TotoUso 77scteso- ( Itut1fCa1J is preparing g
it's readers for a bolt if the Republican
State. Convention shall dodge the Negro
Suffrage question either in Gubernatorial
candidate or in the platform. 1t justifies
those Republicans who refused to vote for
Governor Cox because he 'shad deliberately
dodged" this questioned vital Importance
This is the way it talks: s
"The Republicans who did not vote for
Governor Cox had reason for not voting.
They believed that General Cox had deHb-
erately lodged question: of vital import
ance, one to the triumphof which they had
pledged themselves, and as he stood upon
this question with the Democratic candi-
date they had no particular preference in
the matter.= We said, and believe, that if
the operation is repeated this fall, the re
suit will be the same. Men join and act
with parties for the purpose of securing the
adoption of ideas, not to put and continue
the Republican party have always cohsid-
cred themselves bound by party only to that
extent and no more. We do not wish to see
it otherwise. We earnestly hope that the
time will never come when the individual
members of the Union organization will
permit candidates to regulate their con-
sciencesor make their principles"
This is the way the Radicals carry
their point. They withhold their support
from the candidates if they can not have
things substantially as they want them.
Such boldness and determination the Con-
seryatives have not the courage to practice,
and hence year by year they become more
powerless in that organization. We under
stand that it is the purpose of the Grand
Army of the Republic to attempt to con-
troll the nominations and to give show of
conservatism to the Platform. They will,
doubtless, find when the Convention shall
convene that the Radicals are largely in
the ascendant, and will manage matters to
suit themselves.

How TO Fortify the Public Credit.
There is need for the fertilization of the
public credit, is a fact that is getting a
lodgment in the minds of some Radical edi-
tors. They see plainly that the public
credit can not be maintained by increasing
| the Public Debt, as is now being done.
They realize that the party in power has
acquired such habits of lavish expenditure
and reckless and wasteful appropriation,
that there is little likelihood that they can
be brought toGa realizing sense of the abso-
Lutte necessity of sweeping reformation in
these particulars. If the brakes are
not speedily applied the Government
will be rushed upon :" reputation.
There is no use talking. In the present
state OF business throughout the country,
the people can not stand more taxation,
unless they be restricted to a piece of meat
to boil in their pots once week. For free
born American citizens, who were 'promis-
ed, asa recompense for voting the Republi-
can party into power in 1860, so much
prosperity that they would not know what
to do with it, this will be hard to bear. The
Cincinnati Gazette says ''We have TO contend
against the extravagant Legislative habits
that have grown upon the easy resource of
getting wealth by the issue of paper mon
ey." Who is it that have grown into these
-aextravagant legislative habits" against
whom "we have to contend?" Republi-
can legislators, of course. Whoever i'm
agines that these 'extravagant legislative
habits" which are running the country to
destruction and the Government upon Re
pudiation with remarkable velocity, will
be reformed by continuing to vote the Re-
publican Ticket, must possess an imagina-
tion exceedingly peculiar, TO correct these
{" "extravagant legislative habits" which
carry in their train results so destructive
the Republican party must be voted out of
power instanter. .-. =, 81. s.i-.--... 49,.

Adjournment of the Legislature.

Adjournment of the Legislature.
On yesterday (Friday) the Legislature
did a little business and then adjourned
over until 8 O'Clock on Tuesday afternoon.
There is three-fifths Republican majority
in this Legislature. 1t is huge concern,
the Republican part, we mean. With the
exception of providing for an increase in
the pay of certain officials, and passing a
few bills to construct bridges and build
court houses, and bill doing away with
supervisors, we can not recollect that
they have really done anything. They
have talked and resolved, resolved
and talked. Three -fourths of the talk has
been devoted TO villification of the Dem
ocratic party-a party that they and their
party organs told the people Immediately
after-the election was dead. Why so much
time should be taken up in defaming that
which they have represented as dead passes
our understanding, unless they had nothing
to talk about and wanted to consume just
so much time. This, we presume, is rea-
son, too, why the Legislature adjourns
every three weeks for four days. In view
of che dullness of the times and the diff
Guilty the people have to pay their taxes,
the members of the Legislature would have
shown some regard for the interests Of the
people had they made this adjourned ses-
sion as short as possible. .-; s---s.- -
