Police Court Proceedings Under the

Police Court Proceedings Under the
New Regime.
Some sage and prophetic genius has re-
marked it that "a new broom sweeps
clean" and his truthfulness has been beauti-
fully verified in the beginning of Commits
sioner Sparling's administration. That
functionary has suddenly rendered him
self decidedly popular with the fancy maids
Of the jungIes and the classic bummers there
Of On yesterday morning goodly num-
Der Of "black spirits and white, blue spirits
and gray, promisouously mingled" fitted
ayant the threshold of his temple of justice
and deposited their little mites towards
buying the city park--and other refresh
ments. There were some thirty-three cases
called in sll, and it was indeed a study to
watch the distorted countenances change
from "gay to grave" as the dispenser Of
mercy
Spoke and awfully bent his Celtic broWs
Shook his perfumed locks and gave the nod,
The stamp Of fate and sanction Of god,
While the trembling culprits their dread YER
diets took
And "0ld smoky" to her center shook.
Let the procession move" was the cry

for more and some for less. But here's the

her park at Melrose for five years. The pla
of ground offered embraces one hundred
acIes, finely wooded, overlooking the city,
and ahording some of the most beautiful
landscape views to be found in Middle Ten
nessee., Pure water in any quantity
desired may be obtained either for ponds
or fountains, and the entire tract is shaded
by native forest trees, which are the growth
of centuries, and which, for the purpose of
public drive or promenade ground, have
value that can hardly be computed in
money.
These grounds are Of easy access to the
city, lying, as they do, between the Frank
lin and Nolensville pixies, and alongside
the Tennessee and Alabama railroad; and,
il used for the purpose indicated, assur-
ances are given that both the Spruce and
Cherry street railroads will be extended to
reach these grounds.
These propositions are respectfully sub
mitted to the City Council, with the request
that the members will visit the grounds
and Judge for themselves of the advantages
offered. Very respectfully,
SILAs +. ALLEN.

farmers to sell early, while others give the
opposite advice, under the impression that
the crop viii not turn out 80 large as an
ticipated. Amuch larger breadth Of ground
was sown than usual, and If the yield shall
be an average one, the crop will certainly
be larger than that Of last year, in which
prices must decline, instead Of advance as
they did last year. Farmers should en-
deavor to inform themselves as to the prob
able amount of wheat that will be be har-
vested, and then determine as to whether
they should sell early or late. sstt
Corn is rather dull, and barely COM
mauds soc sacked from store and 75c from

| Transportation 10 New York For the
Tennessee Delegations.

tennessee DeAeEaNt0nb.
We have been furnished with the follow
ing correspondence for publication.
Gen. w. B. Bate was appointed by a
number of the New York delegates, (of
whowm be is one) at the session Of the
State Convention on the 9th inst, to ascer-
tain the terms and make arrangements for
the passage Of the delegates to New York.
In the discharge of this duty, he addressed
letter to Col. Sidney B. Jones, Agent
Little Miami railroad, at Louisville, to
which the following was the reply:
GENERAL TICKET OFFICE, LOUISVILLE
AND NASHVILLE AND MEMPHIS AND
LOUISVILLE RAILROAD LINE, LOUIS
VILE, KY, June Is, ls68.--Dedr Sir !:
Yours Of the 18th received. The Louis
vile and Nashville railroad, United States
Mail Line Steamers, Little MAMA railroad,
Pennsylvania Central railroad, and the
Camden and Amboy railroad, win take
delegates alternates, and committee from
Nashville, Memphis and other Southern
cities, TO the New York Democratic Con-
ventioD free. All other persons wishing TO
attend the convention (or visit New York;
will be charged half fare. r......
J. w. Rockwell, Esq, who represents
the Louisville and Nashville railroad, will
call upon you on the morning Of the 18th,
irih free tickets for the delegates.
Very respectfully, yours, etc,
SIDNEY B. JONES,
Agent Little Miami Railroad.
To Gen. VIM. B. Bate, Nashville, Ten
nessee.
Upon the arrival Of the representative of
the Louisville and Nashville railroad, Mr.
Rockwell the instructions as to the issu-
ance of free tickets for the round trip were
construed by him TO con6ne them ex-
cusively TO delegates proper, and one
editor from each Democratic newspaper.
Thereupon Gen. Bate telegraphed to Col.
Jones. and received the following:
LOUISVILLE, June 22.-TO Gen. Wa. B.
Bate: The mail line Little Miami and
her connections will take alternates and
committees from this point TO New York
free. Send them up with credentials.
SIDNEY B. JONES.
There continuing yesterday some doubt
as to TIE matter, the following reply was
elected:
LOUISVILLE, June 23.-Hon. VIM. B.
Bate AN give tickets from this point to
New York. The Alternates and Com
mitlee will go free from here. The Nash.
willie road will not take them free.
SIDNEY B. JONES.
This appears TO put the question at rest,
and Delegates, Alternates and Committee
men, furnished with proper credentials
may rely upon being supplied at the
Louisville office Of the Little Miami, and
its connections TO New York, with free
tickets going and returning. This line is
one of the best, and has displayed liber
ality in this matter which deserves to be
remembered to the credit Of its public
spirited managers.

The New York journal Of Commerce Of
the afternoon of the Goth inst. says;
"The money market continues in ex-
cessive supply of capital for temporary use,
and call loans are freely offered upon APP
proved collaterals at 3(94 per cent, with
exceptional transactions in large sums upon
government securities at even lower rates
of interest. First class business paper is in
demand at SOC per cent. per annum dis
count, but negotiations are restricted by the
limited amount on sale.'
The New York Journal Of Commerce Of
the goth inst. says of drygoods
''The market is still without material
change, but is very closely watched by both
holders and buyers. The latter would pre-
fer to take their semi-annual account Of
stock, and few weeks Of summer vacation,
and find the market we'll stocked with de-
sirable goods at softened rates when they
really need their new assortment; but they
are not without their fear that someshorten-
ing of production, or advance in gold, or
imitation Of paper money will Suddenly put
up the price to their disadvantage, or else
that leading goods will give way suddenly
before the advance offers OF few heavy
buyers, and all the bargains be picked up
before they awake to the reality. The
holders have their fears too, bat we need
not describe them. They are showing very
good Fluck on the whole, and quotations
ere nominally well sustained. II is true
that large orders could be filled at easier
rates, but who is there that has the courage
to make asweeping purchase just now So
we repeat for the most part the old igues,
and like the operators most interested, we
too are waiting to see what will turn up,
and what course the market will take. 10
the meantime the goods are slowly increas-
ing, with very little movement in any
direction"

doubt as to his sanity, It is their duty to
acquit him.
Judge Smith charged the jury as fol-
lows in reference TO The subject Of review
ing the testimony:
Without debating any particular order
10 taking up the questions involved upon
your investigation of the evidence educed,
would suggest that you examine into the
truth Of the defense of insanity. The
question upon that subject for you to de-
eide is, was the defendant, B. II. Payne, at
the instant Of time that be fred the fatal
shot which killed Allen, sane or insane,
and if insane, was ii TO such an extent that
he was not responsible in Law for the COM
mission of the act, To decide this ques-
ton you should look. TO the appearance,
the conversations, the conduct and deport-
ment, and physical condition of the de-
PENDANT, and, in fact, all the circumstances
in evidence bearing upon that subject, and
from which you must form an opinion as
to his mental condition in reference TO SAN
ity; or, in other words, was the killing the
immediate result of insane responsibility,
or sane responsibility we'll motived by
anger, revenge, malice or such kindred
feeling. II, upon a review Of the testi-
mony, taking into consideration the pre-
sumption of sanity, you must come easily
and satisfactorily 10 a conclusion on that
subject, that conclusion being a moral GER
tainty, Is the decision upon which you
should act. If that decision should be in
sane responsibility, then you need pro-
coed no further, but render verdict of &C
quittal. If that decision be sane RESPONSE
bility, then you can go on and investigate
all the other questions involved.
The jury returned at 5 o'clock and rem
dered a verdict of mot guilty"
