Gen. IL. 4. ChcaIham

The Gallatin Examiner of Thursday las!
has the following reference to our former
fellow-citizen
We were glad last week to see the WELL
known form of Gen. Frank Cheatham
upon our streets. OF course there was
host of his old friends and old soldiers to
welcome him, aud the more warmly, if
possible, since he has turned Sumner
county farmer. He looks it, too, as grace
fully and as earnestly as when he used 10
throw himself at the head of his columns.
The General is now farming upon the
well-knoWn Fairview Plantation, three
miles west of GaIlatin, and will have his
time fully taken up in the management of
over three hundred acres of Sumner coun-
ty land. He will have the greater portion
of it in blue grass for stock raising.

Hair.Rreadtli Escape.

On Thursday evening last, there was a
timely escape from collision at the tun-
nell on the Nashville and Chattanooga
railroad. Owing to recklessness on the
part of some one in charge, a coal train was
run on to the main track before the proper
time, and Just a few minutes before the
time for the freight train from Chatta-
nooga to Nashville to pass the coal road
junction. Some one at the signal station
near the tunnel, heard the train rafting
but short distance of, and turned the
switch inst in time TO save the coal train
from being run into.

The New York Post of the afternoon Of
the afternoon Of the 9th says:
"The money market still works closely
and rates on call loans up to this hour
have ranged from 8 per cent. currency to
the same with commission Of 1882 Of
per cent. per day additional. At the last
session of the open Board yesterday a res
OlutiOn was passed forbidding members
from buying and selling legal tenders in
the Long Room, provided the Regular
Board would concur in such a regulation
At the ii o'clock session of thS latter this
morning the proposition was adopted with
great unanimity, and hereafter this ques-
tionable practice will be discontinued. OF
late il has been the custom of spectators
in money in the Long Room, toward the
close of bank hours, to rapidly advance
rates for the double purpose of compelling
borrowers to pay exorbitantly, and as a
means for depressing prices Of stocks. As
simply a speculative device among opera
tors where all means are acceptable, pro-
vided they but serve the purpose sought,
the system perhaps is defensible, but it
certainly it Is not creditable to bsnkin g
institutions to avail themselves of this in
direct means to obtain extravagant rates
for their money. Some of the larger banks
report the receipt Of currency from Chica-
go; these are largely in excess of remit
tances to the South, and it is expected
that they will gradually increase. In the
market for commercial paper there is a
better feeling and sales of choice names
are reported at SOLO per cent.

Outrage by Members of the UntOs
League.

League.
The Sweeiwater FOreTunner, paper pub
lished in East Tennessee has the particu-
lars of an outrage committed upon an old
negro named Randall johnson, living near
that place, few nights ago. A party OF
three unknown white meH entered his
house on the occasion referred TO, and,
after putting him in mortal dread Of per-
sonal violence, proceeded TO rob him OF
everything he possessed of any value.
They took his watch, money, gun and even
a portion of his own and his family's
clothing. This will be probably regarded
as KukIux outrage, says that paper, but
we have heard it limited that Randall
knows the parties, but as they belong 10
the same league he does, he refuses to dis
close their names.
