TIE loved AND LOST.

Now, you may exercise Senter, or
whOmsoever you will; that will not alter
the facts. The State is lost. Her vote is
scored up against the fifteenth amend
ment: her delegation in the next Congress
will be twO-thirds Copperhead; and you
may expect to see her celebrating the next
anniversary of the battle of Chicamauga.
1t seems to me that she has been fooled
away, and that the initial blunder was the
calculation that pyramid might be made
to stand on its apeX-that the disfranchise-
ment of nearly half the men, holding
three -fourths of the property, could be
upheld and perpetuated in Ia republican
commonwealth. l impeach your policy
of sweeping disfranchisement and pro-
scription as leading inevitably to such dis
asters. Had the Republicans of Tennes-
see, even down TO last spring, said to the
ex-Rebels, eve viii meet you on the
| platform of universal amnesty with i'm
partial suffrage, enfranchising you all on
condition that you unite with US in ratify-
| ing the fifteenth amendment" that over
ture would have been heartily accepted.
As it was, taking ground against Senter
simply constrained him to enfranchise
more and more Rebels in order to escape
defeat, until at last the State was COM
pletely in their power.

MarnifIcent MARKET.

The Market yesterday was kept open
almost throughout the entire day, and was
one of the most excellent we ever saw.
1t was visited by hundreds, not to say
thousands, and the expression was univer-
sal that it was surprisingly fine. Dis
plays of beef, pigs and other meats could
not be excelled, while all kinds of vege-
tables, fish, game and poultry abounded
in superintendent quantities.
The display was well worth visit even
from those who did not wish to make
purchases.
In our notice yesterday of the different
stalls, we inadvertently omitted the names
of our friend Hybenger, Chris. Powers
and Nick Corbett. These stalls were not
only handsomely decorated, but supplied
with the choicest meats. On the stall of
Hybenger was one of ODE Jenkins pre-
MUM sheep, which was purchased by the
proprietor of the Maxwell House, and is
intended for the grand Christmas dinner

The Wrong Bundle.

At certain store in this city, yester-
day, package, containing handsome
dress pattern, was purchased, with in
structions that it be sent as a present to q
young lady in Hopkinsuille, KY, and,
we understand, the intended of the young
man who bought it. Shortly afterwards,
a gentleman, who had purchased pair of
pantaloons, entered the store and left his
bundle, for safe keeping, With the clerk.
In the hurry of business, the gentleman
who had the packages in charge sent the
wrong bundle to the express office, and
the young lady will to-day receive the
pantaloons, and probably wonder what to
do with them. The man who expected
to put on his new pants, however, is bad
ly disappointed, and the terrible mistake
is by no means agreeable to him.

In many monarchical governments, free
schools are established and supported at
the public expense, and children under a
certain age are compelled to attend those
free schools. Some of those schools
were founded centuries ago but the
fruits are now to be seen in Scotland,
Wales, Prussia, Germany, Norway, Swe-
den, and even Russia, an absolute mon
archy. But still in this free and enfght-
ened country, where it has been truly said
that virtue and intelligence in the people
were the only sure basis on which could
rest our free goyernment-eyen here
we find many opposing education
many who make large and loud profess
sions of christian charity and benevolence,
and some who profess to be sent to preach
glad tidings of great joy even to the poor,
who are always among US. Many govern
ments found it economy to educate even
their poor, as it cost less than their sup
port in jails, penitentiaries, and vice, and
crime, TO which ignorance is likely to
lead. Daniel Webster said had he as
many sons IS Priam, he would send to
none but a free schoOl-though many
delicate people object to free schools
from the fact they think they are too pie
beian, and smell too strong of the laboring
class to suit their olfactories, and fear that
their dear little ones might become con-
Illuminated by coming in contact with q
poor mans children; though, in most
places where free schools have been
established, for instance, in Nashville,
such pdtricidR notions and feelings have
in a great degree subsidized, and, as it
were, the lion and the lamb lie down
together. Fl. CAMPBELL.

On Saturday afternoon the dead body
of colored man about twenty years old
was found jammed in an sperature in the
floor of an unOccupied house in G street, be-
tween Seventeenth and Eighteenth streets.
The house mentioned is the property
of the Lawson estate, and is known
to many of our citizens as at one
time the residence of Elisha Riggs, Esq,
and later as the offices of Gen. Rucker,
of the Quartermaster Department, and
Col. Bell, of the COmmissary Department,
U. S. A. The building has been standing
idle since the government relinquished
possession of It as the COmmissary office.
Mr.. Brady, plumber, had been engaged to
prepare an estimate of the cost of making
repairs, and on Saturday last went there
for the purpose of measuring the
work, and found that the lead
pins in several places had been torn
away, and saw half of the dead body of a
colOred man prOtruding from a hole in the
floor. Mr.. Brady went immediately and
notified officer Fifeld, and, in company
with other individuals, they proceeded to
the place and extricated the body, which
was identified as that of James Diggs,
alias "Slim Jim," an old offender, well
known to the police, who had frequently
been punished for theft. A Coroners in
quest was held, and the Jury, after hear
ing the evidence, rendered a verdict that
the deceased came TO his death
in a house No. 1874 G street northwest,
from asphyxia caused by falling through
the floor of the bathroom while attempt
ing to rob the premises. The body was
buried at the expense of the corporation.
From appearances it was supposed that
the dead man had cut all the lead pipes
leading from the tub, jerked it out of its
place, and after knocking up portion of
the floor and the ceiling OF the room below
(Which was locked, had made, as he sup
posed, hole sufficiently large through
which he could descend to the apartment
below and obtain long section of the
large lead water pipe. In making the
attempt and getting portion of his body
through, his arm became wedged in to the
side of his chest, and his violent efforts
to extricate himself only tending to in

bequeathing property to the amount Of
$92, 900 to a convict named William r.
Haight, sentenced from Catteraugus county.
The property consists Of real estate located
in the city of New York. He was appraised

she, in her viii, gave him all her property.
Like good many other wild boys, William
was allured by the attractions of a travelling
circus, followed it to the above county,
where he was arrested for grand larceny,
and sentenced to Auburn prison for two
years and six months. He has served SIX
months only, and no doubt will rest uneasy
for the coming two years, in view of the
anticipated enjoyment of the sudden and
unexpected amount of property falling to
