The Firing of n Senatorial Cannon
BaII-Ifs Deadly Effect.

The Firing of n Senatorial Cannon
BaII-Ifs Deadly Effect.
Mr.. Mathew, from Blount, was among
the Senators who yesterday morning spoke
in support of the motion for the indefinite
postponement of Senator Gates resolution
relative TO the alleged disloyalty of Speak
er Senter. Tue Senator could not see what
good could possibly come out of investiga-
ting the political record Of Speaker Senter
or any other member at this time, and
thought much harm might result from such
inquiry. 10 this connection he plainly in
timated TO his colleagues That the eKamina-
ton Of political records was a ticklish, If
not dangerous business, especially to the
members of the present General Assembly.
One of the great dangers of such an exam
ination, we understand the Senator as say-
ing, would be that of depriyfng the State of
Legislature, if, as the result of that inves-
tigation, every Senator and Representative
was to be disqualified who had in any way,
at any time during its progress, sympa-
thized with or supported the rebellion. 1t
was in such decided terms as these, that
Senator Mathews expressed his opposition
to opening the record of the Speaker or
any other member, and the Senate seemed
fully and thoroughly impressed with the
truth and force Of his remarks. The uDan-
imeus vote against Senator Gates resolu.
tion-he alone voting against its indefinite
Observation-Disclosures that Senators did
not wish to see the Legislature again with

1t states many important facts in relation

their remedy. 1t is ably written, and
should be read by every citizen, rich and

It's watchword of action is: "Organize.
Petition the Legislature, now in session,
for q new charter. Watch our municipal

New Nashville Theater

There was a good attendance at The
theater last night, aud we are sure that no
one regretted being present, for it was a
treat which our players seldom enjoy. To
witness the great historical play Of Queen
Elizabeth is something which does not &C.
chr in everyday life. As Elizabeth, Miss
Champion fully sustained her reputation as
one Of the first arlistes on the American
stage. The scene in which she signs the
death warrant of Mary Stuart, her inter
view with the Earl of Essex, and the APP
pearance of King James of Scotland plead
ing for the life of the condemned, WAS par
ticularly grand, and there vas reality in
the passing events which was felt by those
who were apparently SO deeply interested
in the play. Walters, as KiHg james, was
fully equal to the occasion, and by his ex-
cellent acting aided in making the scene a
success. The Earl of Essex, by Mr.. Nc
Donald, was well rendered, and Sir Francis
Bacon had fit representative in the per
son of w. II. Cooper.
This is the last night OF Miss Champions
when we hope to see a crowd
