A bill to prevent railroad employees from
"smashing baggage" is said to be now pen
ding before the Massachusetts, legislature
1t reads as follows "Any baggage master,
express agent, stage.driverr hacknan, or
other persons whose duty it is to handle
remove, or take care of baggage of passen'
gers, who shall willfully and wantonly des-
troy any trunk, valise, box package or
parcel, while loading, transporting, unload
ing, delivering, or storing the same shall be
punished by a fire not exceeding $50, or by
imprisonment in jail not exceeding two
months." This will afford but little II any
more protection than is now enjoyed BY
travellers. A criminal action for "w,ILiulIy
and wantonly' destroying or even smashing
baggage will be more difficult to maintain
in court of Justice than it now is to have
baggage handled and transported with care

Despatch 10 the EUening Telegraph.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Oct 29.-No little uneasi-
ness is felt here in certain circles as to the fate
of the bill now before the Legislature, amenda-
tory of the city charter requiring that instead
of a Board of Aldermen, q board of twenty COM
mon councmeD, together with board of ten
aldermen, shall constitute, with the Mayor, the
legislative body of the civil government, to be
elected by the citizens. The billlprovides that
property qualification of $4,000 shall be required
of each of the ten aldermen, and it will proba-
bly, pass both houses, as it is considered with
great favor by a majority of the citizens.

The Proposed Constitutional Convention IN
Tennessee.
Despatch to The EUening Telegraph.
NASHVILLE, Oct. 29.-There was quite an ex-
citing discussion in the House yesterday, being
on the proposed Constitutional Convention.
The point at issue was on the amend
ment to the bill calling the convention which
provides that all citizens of the State, enfran-
chised and dsfranchsed, shall be allowed to vote
in the election for delegates to the convention.
1t was participatedin by quite numberand con-
tinued adjournment without any definite ac-
tion being taken. There is little donbt that the
amendment will be adopted by strict party
vote. The Radicals opposed it on the alleged
ground that it conflicts with the present frau
chise law, which is claimed to be part of the
Constitution of the State.

MUCHLY MARRIED.
The Troubles Ofa Bigumist in New York, and
CONSERVATION of his Several Wives.

The Troubles of Bigamist in New York, and
CONSERVATION of his Several Wives.
This morning, remarks the New York Commercial
of yesterday afternoon, a man OF polygamous pro-
Sixteenth precinct, on charge OF blgamy, O charge
which was abundantly proven. Tue number OF
wives the fellow possesses Is four, although che law
would limit him to one. 1t appeared from the evil
dence that this man, Roger O'Conner by name, was
married on the 3Oth or last Marah to Mary Mooney,
then a chambermaid at the St Cloud Hotel. The
nuptiais were celebrated at the Church OF
Infont, the pastor. Not content, on
the 18th of the present month he was again
married at the same place, by the same pastor, to
Catharine Curry. To show the fellows heartless-
ness we may state that one ring was made to serve
both wives, he having borrowed 1t from the first wife
for the second wedding. After the last marriage the
parties went to the residence OF the brides uncle,
No 451 West Eighteenth street. while the first wife
still pursued the quiet tenor Of her way ut the St.
Cloud Hotel. Alas! for human happiness, however;
last evening, while quietly promenadlng with Mrs
O'Conner Mrs. O'Conner No. made her appeal
ance the opposite side OF the street, and asked
Mrs O'Conner No. "what she was doing with her
husband?"
Your husbandy" quoth Mrs. oConnOr No. 2.
'Devil bit !" said No. l, shes mine"
'If you are not my husband" said No. /, address,
ing the unfortunate LotharlO, ''whose are ye?"
This was poser, and as O'Connor was not ready
with an answer to the conundrum, he found himself
rent this morning, when he arraigned at Je1er-
son Market, and committed for trial. The scene In
the court was pathetic in the extreme when his
second victim took the wedding-ring OF her finger
and handed it to the first wife. All the spectators
were moved almost to tears, and the two deceived
women wept in each others arms.
The scamp has two more wives living, one in Ele.
Yenth street, and the other In Ireland.

A Prince Among Fools.

From the London (CdTlGd0) Prototype.
The eagerness with which ceItais class OF people
seek after anything in any way pertaining TO any
celebrated individual has been especially noticeable
throughout the whole tour of the prince. Where he
has stopped to dine, the remnants OF wine and
water have been eagerly drank up and in cases
the glasses themselves have even been taken away.
One servant gave satisfaction TO much larger num-
ber than could otherwise have had IA sip, at one
railway eating saloon, 10y changing the glass and
then re6lling it as often as the credulous maidens
drained it. When the prince had turned the sod of
the new railway all the ladies in the vicinity of the
new earth rushed for 1t and triumphantly exhibited
small bits Of the same wrapped In handkerchefs.
Colonel ElphinstOne very considerably wears nice
new gloves when he travels aud the prince usually
wears a pair Of soiled lavenders The three gentle
men also wear hats exactly alike on all occasions.

many transactions for borrowing were made

Of a telegram from Governor Holden an
nouncing that the State would pay all its
debts, aud particularly the interest on its
bonds, manifested an upward tendency which, how
ever, was counteracted by contemporaneous tele-

the disturbance. The Tennessees were heavy and
fractionally lower. In the market for commercial
paper little was done except at high rates, and

To prove the correctness of the claim of the Pre-

to the public 1t was written by the President at the
time when the conservatives of Mississippi asked
Judge Dent to become their candidate for the Gov

''LoNG BRANCH, Aug. /, 1869 Dear Judge:- am
so thoroughly satisfied in my own mind that the
success OF the so-called conservative Republican
party in Mississippi would result in the defeat Of
what believe to be for the best interest of the State
and country that have determined to say so to you
in writing. OF course, know or believe that your
intentions are good in accepting the nomination
from the conservative party. l would regret to
you run for an Office, and be de-
feated by my act, but as matters now
look, / must throw the weight of my
influence in favor of the party opposed to you. 1
earnestly hope that before the election there will be
such concessions on either side in Mississippi to
unite all true supporters OF reconstruction and OF the
administration together in support of ticket
