A We'll Degervad Commitment,

|
We see by the Madison State Journal that
Gov. Fairchild has directed the issue of breyet
commission to our worthy Clerk of the Board
| of Supervisors, ERNEST G. TIME, late private
in Company &C." LIST Regiment, as Captain
to rank from September Both 1868, in recogni
ton of distinguished gallantry displayed by
him at the battle of Chickamauga, whereby
in bravely repulsing a rebel attack he lost al
arm.
Of all the brevet commissions that have
been issued, we know of none better deserved
than this. We congratulate our friend TIM
NE, on this recognition ofmeritorious service
though it comes rather late. We need hardly
add thai Captain .Timme carries the same
character in all his acts in civil life, that won
hiBn this distinction on the field
The Mayor and commnn council will form
aline, at precisely ten O'Clock this A. NJ. in
front of Father Rises Saloon, and preceded
by Old Phelps, with his Bull fiddle, playing
the rogues march will move to the cemetery
grounds, where a sumptuous repast Will be
served them of ginger pop and crackers. His
Hon. the Mayor will address them on the sub
ject of malt.-Ke1aoshd Union.
We had not heard of the death Of old father
Risse, Or that mortal severance" had re-
Gently occurred to any one at his saloon; and
we were not aware that the City officials,
with the exception of the sexton, pound mas
ter and City marshal attended personally at
such interments. 1t is also new feature of
the proceedings in such cases if the city au-
thorities ordered crackers, ginger pop and mu-
sic; but as the majority favor the liquor inter-
est it would not be remarkable if the dead
buried their dead" with feasting and music.
However we cannot but regard the tune play
ed, rogues march, even though softened by the
"dulcet tones of Old Phelps fiddle as highly
inappropriate at afuneral.
In view of the difficulties of the situation,
politically, Hquorary and otherwise, we feel it
our duty OF extend to the Editor of the Union
the consoling words of an affectionate spouse
who sat watching the mogtal sickness of his
wife. ''Do stop your groaning my dear and go
on with your dying"

TO ADMINISTRATORS.

The law Of Tennessee requires Admins
traitors to publish insolvent notices in a
newspaper. A written notice carries out
neither the spirit or letter of law, but it does
no injustice to all interested parties AM lays
the Administrator liable for damages to all
who are losers by his non-conformity with
the law. We quote from the code Of Ten
nessee, section $50:
The Clerk (of the County Court) X K x
shall make an order upon the executor or
administrator, to give notice by ADVERTISE
ment IN some newspaper published within
the State, and also at the court house door Of
the county, for all persons having claims
against said estate to appear and file the
same, authenticated in the manner pre-
scribed by law, on or against day to be
fixed in such notice, which shall not be less
than three nor more than six months after
the date Of notice; and any claim not fled
on OF before the day fixed, or before an ap-
preparation of the funds Of the State is
made shall be forever barred beth n law
and equity.

Game-A farmer Of Harde
man County sWindled out Of $3.50.


The Memphis Post of the 2Ist inst tells
the following:
a day or two ago a farmer from Harde-
man county named w. A Moore, came to
the city with few bales Of cotton, the pro-
duct of his farm to sell Having disposed Of
his cotton and finished his business Ia the
city, be found himself with about thrae hun-
dred dollars IN his pocket, and yesterday ever
ing concluded to start homo On arriving
at the Memphis and Charleston Depot he
was too late for the train. While brooding
over his disappointment he fell In with a
sympathetic individual who represented
himself as a merchant at some point on the
road. He had been trying tc get some goods
off, but they could not 90 until tomorrow.
The two went off TO console themselves with
drink, and afterwards came down on sJeffer-
son street to get some oysters While on
the way business-like individual stepped
up to the pretended merchant and informed
him that his goods had all gone to the depot
but one dray load. Well" said the ner-
chant, send the other load up; I want to
get them all shipped in the morning" The
other said he could not send the last of the
goods until he was paid. The merchant was
bothered; he wanted the goods to 90, and
had no funds with him but check for $iI7O;
perhaps his friend Moore could advance him
$500 on it until morning. Moore had but
$3.50 to spare he gave him that, and took
the check as security. 1t was drawn by w.
IL HOlcomb on the DeSoto Bank The mat
ter being satisfactorily arranged, the city
merchant promised to send up the goods at
once, and left. Soon after, the country
merchant recoIlected that he had business
down town. He had left three trunks at the
depot, outside Of the railing. and felt uneasy
about them, and requested Mr. Moore to 90
up there and see to them until he could re-
turn. Moore went, and finding no trunks
there, the truth began to dawn upon his
mind that he had been swindled. He
started off to find his friend, the country
merchant, out failing in his search, reported
the case to police headquarters. The check
of course, was. worthless, and Moore is the
victim Of a sWindle. The police are in
search of the confidence man, but Moore
stands slim chance Of regaining his
money"
1t is safe to say that the the victim Of
misplaced confidence don't take his county
paper

A BLAsPHEMoUs SHow.-The New York
World has the following, whichit says it has
been at much pains to verify:
"In the streets of Tallahassee, Florida.
there appeared handbill announcing that
on a certain evening, at a certain ball, there
would be an exhibition of scenes from the
bible, for the benefit of the colored people.
When the time arrived, and the curtain rose,
there appeared big burly negro, fantasti-
calIy dressed, representing the person of
Christ, with a lighted candle In his wool to
give idea Of the halo around the head of the
Saviour. Twelve other negroes, in cores
pOnding costume, represented the twelve
apostles The performance consisted in the
exhibition of certain scenes in the hfe Of
Jesus; and our Informant states that the
idea was understood to have been originally
suggested by some white persons to the col
ored performers for the purpose of inculca-
ting the notion that the Saviour was q negro.
The performance broke up IN a general fight,
occasiOned by some disturbance originating
among the audience, which was composed
exclusively of blacks. We beg our readers
TO believe that we have not described this
inexpressibly revolving occurrence without
having duly verified it as a fact. Whether
it was, in point Of fact, the suggestion of
some white man, or whether it sprang from
some negro origin exclusively, it shows of
what that people are capable IN respect to
religious ideas.

Hard on the Ladies-Some old fogy, Tan

the following at the expense of the ladies':
Taken as a class, women can contriVe more
outlandish and ugly fashions than one would
think possible without the gift of inspiration.
Take, for instance, the waterfall First it
represented bladder of Scotch snuff; next
it hung down a woman's back like a canvass
covered ham; afterward it contracted and
counteFfeited turnip on the back Of the

ARE NEGRoEs ELIGIBLE FOR CoNGEBss.-
Under the famous Dred Scott decision, says
the New York Herald, the Supreme Court
of the United States decided that negroes
were not citizens within the meaning Of the
Constitution. Whatever the popular senti
ment may be in regard to that decision, it
was never reversed, and remained the law
Of the land, at least until the proclamation
of emancipation Issued by President Lin
eoln, in September, 1862. If that procla-
nation made negro citizens they attained
their citizenship at that time The Consti-
tuition Of the United States provides that no
one shall be eligible to the United States
House of Representatives until he has been
seven years a citizen, or to the United States
Senate until ho shall have been a citizen
nine years. These facts may dash the hopes
of some of the ambitious Sambos and
Quashees who have anticipated the honor of
representing some of the Southern districts
in the next Congress.

THE LAND We LOVE"

Land Of the gentle and brayeI
Our love is as wide as thy woe,
It deepens beside every grave,
Where the heart Of a here lies low.
Land Of the brightest Of skies!
Our love glows the more mid thy gloom
Our hearts by the saddest Of ties,
Cling closer to thee in thy gloom.
Land where the desolate v eepI
In sorrow too deep to console,
Our tears are but streams, making deep.
The ocean Of love in the soul.
Land where the victor flag waves,
Where only the dead are free,
Each link ef the chain that enslaves,
Shall bind US the CLOSER to thee.
Land where the sign Of the cross!
It's shadow Of sorrow hath she'd
We measure our love by thy loss,
Thy loss by the graves of our dead.

A Memphis dispatch to the Louisville
Courier, dated the 18sh inst, says: a planter
from Mississippi arrived there this evening,
and gives q doleful account of affairs in the
northern part of the State. Planters who
were unable to meet their obligations were
being sold out by Sherifs and deprived of
their household goods, stock, etc. Their
situation is heart-rending. Several families
came to the city yesterday, who have been
sold out Merchants who made advances to
planters are taking cotton, stock and every,
thing, to make themselves safe. The State
is in a deplorable condition. Negroes are
killing off stock and stealing everything
available. Hundreds of them are out of
employment Very few planters will be
able to plant next year, owing to the high
prices of provisions OF present from scar
city of money.
