REPORTS.

The following is the report of the Gas
Committee:
To the Honorable City Council: Your
committee would respectfully call your at
tention to the dilapidated condition of the
street gas lamps After an examination,
We find one hundred are broken and need
glass; seventy-6ye need new lanterns one
hundred new burners, and all of them need
cleaning; fifty new lamps should be put
up Immediately. This is strongly recon-
mended to your committee by Superin-
tendent Stone of the Police, as it would be
a preventive against crime, especially bur-
glary. To put these lamps in good order,
your committee ask an appropriation Of
s.. 500.

MUNHCIPAL AFFAIRS.
Meeting Of the board of aldermen.


A regular meeting of the Board of Alder
men was held last night-Presideni Kin
ney in the chair and quorum present.
The following message from the Mayor
was received and read:
NASHVILLE, January IL, 1S69-Gentle-
men of the City Council: have the honor
to call your earnest attention TO the accom-
panying report from the Committee on
Gaslights, and would respectfully recon-
mend that such measures be adopted as
will secure a speedy remedy for the defects
complained Of and in order to save time
and the great waste to the city which is
now going on by reason of broken lamps,
defective burners, etc. l would suggest
that the appropriations asked for be made,
and that your committee be empowered to
act in the premises without delay. l am
of the opinion that the appointment of a
gas and meter inspector would be a wise
and saving measure to the city, and should
| not necessarily be attended with any great
expense.
Second, allow me to congratulate yon
before the passage of the act establishing
the soup house, which deem a measure Of
great economy for the city, and of bound
less charity to the poor. In other words
an act which will result in the greatest
| good for the smallest amount Of money.
have in conjunction with your com
mittee rented the house occupied for thai
purposelas twinter, and am happy to inform
you that it is now in successful operation
and under its present management bid
fair to do credit to the heart which con
ceiyed and the hands which are to carry
forward your noble act for the poor ant
suffering of your city.
l am gentlemen, very respectfully,

BOHEMIA

had in 1920 only one Catholic to 80
Protestants; but Ferdinand the
Second waged, after the battle Of
Prague, destructive crusade against
the Protestant religion. Preaching
and baptizing were prohibited the
schools were closed, churches, Bibles
and other books were burned. $4,000
families were exilcd. Only 800, 900
out of 100000 of inhabitants re.
mained. Out of 347,o0o villages
5000 were entirely destroyed of 80
cities only 16 remained. Not a man
was left that publicly professed the
Protestant religion. In 1871 Joseph
tho Second published his edict OF
federation, and Protestant churches
and people arose at once, as if from
the dead. Bohemia has now $4,000
Reformed and $4,000 Lutherans-that
Is one Protestant to 49 Catholics.

session until the 18th of March. II
was composed of 25 pastors, rs lay
delegates, member of the Iheologi
cal Faculty, and 3 clerical and 3 lay
members. nominated by the king
who also appointed DR.. Duvernoy,
Councillor of State,a "a conscientious and
churchly disposed man, to act as
President. Rev. DR.. V. Kapf pre.
sented a report on the state of rcIig.

and truly evangelical clergymen as

number of charitable institutions and

blessing totheir country. The Synod
recommended the adoption of meas

Lords Day. Religious liberty was
Internationally sustained. The differ

4,7Sl members, including 1,5s1 Jerusa-

lics. Sectariahism does not flourisl,
in WuertembeIg; the scots are losing
ground every day. The same will be
the case wherever the Lutheran
Church is true to herself
A large crowd assembled lately in
Ufm to listen to Rev. Lutz, preacher
to the apostolic congregation. His
subject was: "The nearness of the
second coming Of the Lord" Mr..
Lutz is advanced in years, and has
resigned very comfortable position
in tho Catholic Church.

Strange rumors are afloat. It is

thinks seriously of becoming Roman

commenced so successfully, which
Frederick the Great never for a mo-
enept lost sight Of, and which the
present king has on such a magnifi-
gent scale but lately carried out, is
abe object.which tho Prussian rulers
have and will pursue, until it either is
accomplished, or the last Hohenzollern
rests with his fathers.
s-Lutheranism has always been an
obstacle to this policy, hence it is op-
pressed and even suppressed in Prus-
sia. The Union, that is the State
Church, which is both the creature
and the pet of Prussian monarchs, is
at present also in the way and even
Episcopacy is, as England now proves,
a broken reed. Rome, on the other
hand, would be an efficient and pow
ertul ally; but the king of Prussia is
heretic, and Rome will not serve
him unless he forsakes the error of
his way, and - time will show.
The Pope is said to feel very uneasy
on account of the present state of the
leading Roman Catholic powers. The
abrogation of the confessional laws in
Austria worried him, the revolution
in Spain overwhelmed him he al

The king Of Prussia, one.third OF
