Resolution of Thanks, etc.

| Leilyett aud COitart ON the sItuatIOn
Resolution of Thanks, etc.
A meeting of the City Council was held
last night. The following message was re-
ceiyed from the Mayor:
MAYORS OFFICE, NASHVILLE, Oct. LIST,
lS67-To THE HoN. CRY COUNCIL: You
have been called together to-day for the
purpose Of allowing any accounts which
may be outstanding the corporation, re-
ceiving any reports from the officers of the
corporation which may be ready for pre-
sentation, and for the transaction of any
other business pending before your bodies,
or which may be presented.
Respectfully,
". MATT. Brown, Mayor.
Mr.. Lellyett said that a new Mayor and
City Council had been qualified, and thar
therefore the action of one of the boardA-
must necessarily be illegal. The accounts,
probably, any board might allow.
Mr.. Coltart made a violent speech in
favor of the rightful body holding over,
and offered a resolution authorizing the
Mayor to call out any number of citizens
for the defense of the corporation and if
necessary to ask for United States troops,
to keep the peace until a legal election
could be held.
No second.
The following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of the City
Council are due, and are hereby rendered,
to Hon. w. Matt. Brown, the Mayor of the
city, for the firm, discreet and admirable
manner in which he has endeayored TO
uphold the chartered rights Of the corpo-
ration.
Resolved, That this City Council &C
knowledges the compliment paid to the
executive head of this municipality by the
City Council of Louisville, for his zeal and
courage in defending the rights of such
corporation, in his election to the response
BILE post of Director in the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad Company.
Resolutions of thanks to President Cot
ton and Recorder Foster were unanimously
adopted.
The Board of Aldermen adjourned until
Its next regular meeting, and the Common
Council to Monday next at P. NJ.

Or. COIernan's Card.

While humanity continues to be infrm, and
man is prone to err. and the consequences are
visited upon the unfortunate, he should early
seek relief from the misery thus entailed.
And the man who devotes his time and talent
to therelief of this species of human suffering
is not less philanthropist than he who seeks to
relieve any other affection to which man is sub
t'ect; for true philanthropy looks not TO what
i used the trouble, but what will cure it. DR..
Coleman has devoted large portion of his time
to the care Of the class OF diseases mentioned in
his advertisement in to-day's paper. He has
duly qualified himself by study and experience
to perform what he promises. He has been To-
Gated in our midst for several years. and the
public may rely upon his skill and ability.

GEN. JOHN O'NEILL, so long and favor
ably known among us, as a cordial, cour-
tious gentleman and vigorous and reliable
claim agent, aud who distinguished him
self so much in connection with the Fenian
Brotherhood in leading in the invasion of
Canada a year ago, has resigned his
position as Inspector General of that
organization-not, a. he states, for
the want of confidence in the move
ment, but TO devote his time and attention
exclusively to his greatly increasing husi-
ness in the prosecution of claims, to which
he proposes giving his immediate attention
in person before the Department at Wash
ington. His integrity, reliability, and
promptitude in attending TO the claims
committed TO him have won for him a con-
fdence which is rapidly adding to his bust
ness. Long may he prosper, say we, for
none deserve it better than the General.
We are pleased to learn that his stay in
Washington is only temporary, for the
purpose of attending more directly to the
claim business; he intends returning to
take up his residence among us in Tennes-
see.

THE TRIAL OF Col. HULL.-AIl yester.
day was occupied in the conclusion of the
testimony of the witness Jones, and the
testimony of James A. Fisher, the book
keeper and cash clerk of the State Prison.
The testimony Of Fisher showed that Hull
had sold and failed to account for other
property than that proved by Jones that
Hull had worked the convicts eleven and
a quarter hours per day; that he had in
licted severe corporal punishment upon
the prisoners; that after his appropriation
of property OF the State was discovered, he
reported the sale of the same to Fisher,
and said he had nearly forgotten it that
he had pretended he was hunting for an
escaped convict when he was absent from
the prison; that Col. Hare seemed bent
upon ferreiing out what he was doing, and
that Judge Mills was seen in close CONVEX
sation with him before he reported what
property Of the State he had failed to &C
count for; and that he hsd gotten certain
vouchers to be paid by the Iessees and
charged the same TO the State in their ac-
count, instead of having the Commission
ers paw the same that he was wholly unfit
for the position, and was man of bad
character; that he had also carried pros-
titute to his house, and that his wife and
family escorted her to the hack when she
left.
The Commissioners now hold their ses-
sions in the Circuit Court Clerks office, in
the courthouse.
Mr. Lester was sworn and will be e1-
amined this morning.

SDeciaT Notice.

ON THE OPENING OF A BILLIARD
Room it is generally the custom, as every
one knows, to have several champions present to
entertain the public FOR FEW HOURS; but on
we thought proper to give the orphans of this
city and poor of Chattanooga that benefit, which
we have done for the last two weeks. And
again, as it is sometimes the custom of giving
premiums, such watches, etc., and having
proof of the last two weeks business that the
citizens of Nashville appreciate our efforts to
help the needy, we have therefore concluded to
Nashville, from the Ist day of April, 1867 up to
October 1st, 1867, (six months,) which amount
will be RENTED weekly to the Mayor of Nash
vile. We hope that the amateur billiard play
ers and the public in general will appreciate the
cause and sustain it.

ton of their term of Office.
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE HEALTH
OFFICER.
The jury requested DR.. Joseph Jones,
the Health Officer of Nashville, to accom-
pany them in their visits to the poor house
and pest house. He did SO, and presented
his views at some length as to the duties
of the city and county in the premises. He
reviewed the connition of our population.
and the accelerated tendencies to disease,
pauperism and vice, since the war. and
concludes as follows:
at is :he solemn duty of the county and
city governments to unite in the effort to
control and eradicate pauperism, by the
establishment of charitable institutions for
the unfortunate and disabled poor, and of
houses of refuge or correction for the VII
cious pauper and his degraded children
1t is important that this distinction should
be rigidly preserved for the indiscrimi
nate confinement of the unfortunate poor
hAAh AAAN iblhhOAOAtY Oh thG PIC kN
Of vagrancy, tends to kindle injurious
sympathies, and to disseminate the seeds
of vice. The unavailable misfortune of
temporary poverty, induced by the loss of
relatives and friends, or by accident and
sickness, has frequently led TO the foul and
disgusting trade of the street pauper, or to
the den of prostitution.
"The citizens of Davidson county and
of Nashville can no longer, with impunity,
and without reproach, neglect subject of
such grave importance; public morality,
the sanitary condition of the city, pecuni-
airy economy, the obligations of common
humanity, and the sacred commands of re-
ligion, demand the adoption of prompt
and efficient remedial measures against that
restitution and pauperism which constitute
so fruitful a source of crime.
"The Health Officer would respectfully
recommend the appointment of a compe-
tent committee by the county and city to
investigate and report the best means of
relief He would also recommend that a
system be devised, by which the county
and city may unite in the establishment of
an aims house, which shall combine the
advantages of temporary and permanent
home for the INDECENT provisional home
for orphans, and an ample hospital for
acute and chronic diseases, with male and
female departments; and house of correc-
ton and labor for the vagrant. By con-
solidation of the poor house, pest house
and hospital under the same organization,
both efficiency and economy would be Sc
cured. All the inmates able to work
should be employed in the workshops and
cultivated grounds"
The able and somewhat elaborate review
of Tie subject treated by DR.. Jones, was
appended TO the report of the grand Jury,
and, presented with it TO Judge Smith.

FINANCE AND TRADE.

Money continues scarce, though there is
but little call on the banks for commercial
papers. The banks are discounting first
classed bill at one per cent. for thirty days,
and are loaning on collaterals at 9 per cent.
per annum. Borrowers on the streets have
to pay much higher rates, and good indi-
vidual paper IS seldom shaved at less than
3 to 8 per cent. per month.
The banks continue to furnish their Gus
TONERS New York exchange at 81 per
thousand.
There has been but little fuctuation in
gold during the week On last Wednesday
the opening rate was l43k, and on yester-
day it opened at 1889, and closed at the
same rate at P. NJ. Brokers here were
buying at l4S and holding at IA. Silver
is bought about Toe less than gold
Exchange on London is sold at s. 25 per
pound sterling.
Government bonds have been dropping
during the week, which may be attributed
to the stringency on the money market
in New York The banks have been call
ing in their loans, and thus many bonds
have been thrown on the market There
is scarcely anything doing in these bonds
here, and there are more sellers than buy
ers. The following are the latest New
York quotations.
