Protest and Counter Protest

The action of the convention 10 the lat
ward last night was not, we regret 10 say,
characterized by entire unanimity Of feel
ing. After the adjournment Of the meet
ing a number of its members, complain
ing of unfairness, protested against the
nominations made, and proposed to hold
another convention at 9 o'clock to-mor-
row morning at the Leonard House for
the purpose of nominating candidates for
the Common Council and delegates TO The
City Convention. Ga the other hand,
Mr.. John Mclaughlin, chairman, and J.
X. Thompson, secretary OF the conyen-
tioB, together with 4 large number of
members, make counter protest, and say
that the action of that body was entirely
fair, and endorsed by large majority of
those present. Disturbances Of this sort,
always to be regretted in cooler moments,
will sometimes occur in political Assem-.
blages. la this connection we may re-
mark that the action of the Second Ward
Convention WAS not attended By a very as
tonishing degree of unanimiiy, but
all discord finally yielded TO the inexor-
able logic Of events, and The pN of the
nojorify prevailed. A similar event took
place when Grant was elected President.

Gov. senter interviewed Again


Yesterday a number of the leading cit
liens of onr sister county of Rutherford
had an interview with Gov. Senter, touch.
ing the imbroglio at Smyrna and other
points up there. Among those present we
mention, Hons. E H Ewing, Charles
Ready, W Y Elliott, John Woods, L Rus
sell, VIM. Spence, Gen. w Il Smith, Col
E L Jordan, DIR. Richardson and G w
Smith, Ed, together with number of
colored men from that county, and several
from this city. The interview lasted about
two hours, during which a full and free
interchange of views was had on both
sides, showing how the difficulties had
originated and how they had been kept
up, till they eliminated in trouble.
Gov. Senter expressed himself highly
grstifed with the information and expla-
nations given, and the parties present, on
both sides, spoke as though they were en-
tirely satisfied with the interview and the
conclusions arrived at. The facts clearly
show that the public has had but partial
insight into the incipiency, progress and
elimination of the whole affair.

New Advertisements.

To keep piano in good condition for
an indefinite period, it should be tuned
regularly twice a year, about the time of
the equinoxes. The explanation of this
may be found in the liability of metals TO
expand and contract with the change of the
seasons. Ia addition TO regularity in
tuning, it is of course necessary TO employ
a good artizan, and Nashville has never
held a better than Mr.. Hahn, the organ
builder, who, according TO the advertise
ment of our friend Mcclure, will devote
his exclusive attention to tuning for the
present.
Ia response TO an increasing demand
from the South and Southwest, Mr.. Nc
Clure announces the opening of whole
sale department, 10 which he has invested
some eighty thousand dollars with the good
Judgment that results from twenty years Of
successful experience in the business.
From the Southern States tributary to
Nashville, no church, or school, or indi-
vidual need pass US to obtain anything
they may want-from an organ built to
order at New York prices, to a fiddle
string. His stock of sheet music, repre-
sentlng some $4,000, is probably The
largest collection this side of Lee d
Walkers, Philadelphia. While preserving a
complete lis. of the older and standard
classics, he ia quick to lay before his pa
irons every latest novelty. His stock OF
pianos and other instruments lis very
large, afording buyers an ample range OF
choice from the best makes. Soliciting the
attention of professionals and amateurs to
these advantages, it remains only TOR us
to state that Mr.. Mcclure is as clever as
he Is enterprising-as worthy OF warm
friendship as he is Of extensive patronage.
Messrs. Gates Pohlman, corner Union
and College streets, have on hand an exc
tensive variety of jewelry. Their stock OF
gold pens, watches, silverware, etc, etc, is
anequaled in the city. They are selling as
low as the same quality Of goods can be
bought for in any market. Call on them
at an early day and we are certain you will
get the worth Of your money.
Mr.. William H. Moore is a candidate
for jailer of Davidson county.
Notice the trade sale of large lot OF
trimmings, notions, etc.
Mr.. D. Flournoy Baily is a candidate
for clerkship ia the Senate of Tennessee.
A. Hemphill, 50 Church street, has On
hand, and is still receiving, fresh OYSTER,
in kegs, cans and shell.
Messrs. C. r. Parson & Co. offer the
highest market price for dried aPPles.
All those wanting refreshments can lind
the best OF ice cream and oysters always
on hand at Eldridge's saloon, where many
attend daily and come away perfectly de-
lighted.

His Excellency, D. w. G. Senter, Gov
ernor of the State of Tennessee-Sir: In
obedience to your orders having date OF
9th inst, would most respectfully beg
leave to report that I proceeded at once to
Humboldt and had an interview with the
ladies mentioned in your Excellency's
order as well as with number Of the
leading citizens in and around the
town Of Humboldt. There are various
| opinions expressed by the citizens rel&'
tive to the origin Of the near ap-
| proach TO the burning of the house
| of Mrs. Starkey, which il is not necessary
here to mention. Certain parties were
arrested upon suspicion as being the per-
petrators Of this outrage and brought to
trial, but the proof was not sufficient to
convict them, and consequently they
were released. In regard to the school
of Miss Starkey for the instruction O.
