The Sacred Concert, given at the Second
Presbyterian Church on College street last
night, for the benefit of the Central Baptist
Sabbath School, passed off magui6cently.
The audience was large and appreciative,
and the interest manifested by them was
great.
The exercises we're opened with an H.
troductory address from Rev. W. W.
Campbell and after a solo, Judge Mills
delivered an address, which was listened
10 with wrapt attention.
Then followed the grand orstorio Of
Our Saviour" consisting of solos, duets,
quartets, etc.
Lack Of space prevents us from mention
ing each solo and duet,
Solo, Beneath the dome of Heaven q
blue sky" and the Lords Prayer, chanted
by several little girls, were among the Sc
lectiOns for the occasion. They We're rem
dered with good effect.
There were about forty persons engaged
in the grand oratorio, comprising some of
the finest amateur talent in the city.
Every thing passed of finely, and every
one left the church satisfied with pleas
ant evenings entertainment.
The Sabbath School will be greatly ben
Gifted by last nights entertainment, as a
handsome sum Was realized. We hope the
management will soon repeat the concert.

you in at 81 per hundred through to New
York ? A hash of lightning went back
and answered, we are in ? And so the
1000 bales came along, and Bows & Co.
save 81 800 by the operation in freight
alone. So Mr.. A. E. Orr, one of the firm
Of Dows 4 Co., who happened to be on
Change to-day, assures Us. Well, this is
all as it should be. Ocean vessels have
scorned bulk grain at fair rates, because
they expected to get cotton at high figures,
but all such little games are played out on
this continent. Capt. Carol informs us
that he has inssrusted the New Orleans
agent of the Atlantic and Mississippi
Steamship Company to sign through bills
of lading for cotton via St. Louis at 81 per
hundred pounds. This will have the eff
feet of Immediately breaking ocean freights
and imparting demand for bulk grains 10

The New York Herald says in ita mon
ey article of Tuesday evening;
money was in abundant supply at ak
and seven per cent, according TO the char
acter of the collaterals and the standing Of
the borrower. Where money was Offering
especially TO government bankers, il was
at six per cent Late in the day there
was an appearance Of activity given to the
market from a slightly increased inquiry,
due TO the fact that with the reaction in
stocks some houses were probably prompt
ed TO call for new margins. Commercial
paper is steady. -Four months aceeptan-
ces are inquired for, owing TO the induce
ment they present of engaging money over
decline in the interest rate, and are
quoted at from to 10 per cent. discount.
Prime sixty days paper is current from z
TO per cent. There was an improved
lone 10 prices in the government market,
indicative Of a new demand. As the
change is notable in the general list, more
than in the speculative issues, it exhibits a
demand coming from private investors,
and very probably from the banks, which
in the declining rate for call loans, are
seeking the higher Interest represented by
government coupons"
The ST. Louis Democrat of The 18th inst.
notices the shipment Of cotton from New
Orleans to New York by way of st. Louis,
as follows:
at may seem a little singular Just at
this time to the uninitisted, in view of the
many paragraphs We have written about
the chespness of sending grain from the
interior of Iowa to New York via New
Orleans, that cotton should actually be
coming up from New Orleans On lis way
to New York via ST. Louip, passing the |
Iowa grain on its way TO New York via
New Odeansl This il truth, nevertheless, |
for the Mollie Able is now on her way |
here with 1000 bales Of cotton upon her |
decks, consigned to David Dows q Co, of !
New York city, and will be taken by the
Diamoad Line from here forward. But
there Is method 10 this seeming madness,
which, when made clear TO outsiders, will |
divest the transaction Of all it's marvellous
ness. The ocean vessels in New Orleans
formed ring and put up the freight on
cotton to New York, never dreaming that
ST. Louis steamers could see IL quick
enough TO compete. The result was, a
fash Of lightning from New Orleans to 81.

Introduction OF Another Resolution
en- Regard 20 Female Suffrage.


Introduction OF Another Resolution
sn Regard 20 Female suffrage.
The following resolution was offered in
the Senate yesterday By Senator Nelson
proposing certain amendments TO the con-
stitution of the State.
Whereas, Woman is the first and high
est gift of God to man, and her sphere is
one Of nobility, dignity and humanity, and
deserves to rank second to none, but equal
to the 6rst order of man before the laws and
before the world as she is before God and,
whereas, Justice is the highest expediency
in reference 10 human liberties, and uni
versaI suffrage should be the inalienable
right of every law-abiding individual ca
pable of an independent national choice !;
and, whereas, woman, under our present
code of laws, has but partial protection
in her rights and privileges as citizen,
being universally taxed on her money and
real estate, without representation, held
amenable to the laws, and is punished
even unto death without trial by her
" peers" in the making and executing OF
which she has had no voice; and, whereas,
il is the essence of national allegiance for
every citizen to pay tribute for the main
tenance Of the government that gives him
protection; therefore,
Be it resolved by the General Assembly
of the State Of Tennessee, That this Gen
eral Assembly proposes certain amend
meIts 10 the constitution of the State Of
Tennessee, hereinafter mentioned, and thu
same to be referred to the General Assem-
bly, next TO be chosen by the people:
/. That the word "male" in the consti
tuition, in reference to the elective fran
chise be striken out, and the word "citi
zen" inserted, SO that The right of suffrag'
shall vest in every citizen without regar'
to sex, being twenty one years old, and
citizen of the United States, who are no
otherwise Disqualified.
2. That the assessing and levying pol
and other taxes shall be equal and uniform
upon all citizens irrespective of race, color
or ser.
The resolution was laid over until ia
day under the rules.
