disappointment to the man, who was really

We are not little surprised to see la
dies travelling on trains at night who prefer
to sit and doze all night in passenger car,
instead of taking sleeping car at triAing
cost, where they can sleep quietly, securely
and comfortably, under the care Of cour-
teous and watchful conductors, whose
special pleasure and interest it is to make
each sleeper feel secure and quiet as if at
their own homes. We would say TO all
who travel on the Nashville and North
western and Mobile and Ohio Railroaes,
that that most excellent gentleman, John
D. Allan, conductor on the sleeping car
"Atlauta," takes the greatest pleasure in
making all his passengers feel just at home
on HE car, and we cheerfully commend
him and the Interests over which be pre-
sides TO the attention Of the travelling
public.

with a degree of success of which any man

The great event of the day in financial

nouncement from Washington that the
Secretary of the Treasury would pure h. sc,
in addition to the regular sinking fund
operations, SO, 100000 five-twenty bonds on
every Wednesday during the balance of
July. This announcement was generally
regarded as graceful concession on the
part of Mr.. Boutwell, towards our mer-
chants and the legitimate traders of the
country, who have demanded so unani-
mously of late that large amount Of the
currency now locked up In the Treasury
should be restored TO the channels of
trade. The Secretary, in announcing his
policy several weeks in advance, has
made quite an improvement on his old
plan OF springing these extra bond pur.
chsses on the public suddenly, and allow,
ing spectators to get information before
the public generally. The business COM
munity are Indifferent about the manner
in which currency is disbursed and the
money market made easier, These large
bond purchases accomplish these objects
and therefore they are Satisfied. The bond
purchases for the unexpired portion of the
month of July will be as follows:

If you go to a pleasant place, and by a
well equipped railway, il is a luxury. The
Erie railway, despite what the croskers
say, is in splendid condition, and has first
Class rolling stock. If you are going
through by night, you may take such a
sleeping coach as is unsurpassed by any in
the world. But If you have never been
over the road before, and your business
will allow you to take a train which goes
through by daylight by all means do co.
Then you should pay 81 90 extra on each
ticket, and seat yourself and wife, or your.

affairs that can be conceived. Out of the
large Windows with their clear French
plate glass, you may have the finest pos

the ridge from the Delaware to the head

HORSE THIEF KILLED.
Desperate and Fatal Attempt 10 4
cape from a Sheriff

Desperate and Fatal Attempt 10 fs-
cape from a sheriff
%. Tuesday last, as We learn from the
Louisville Courier, Col. Tompkins Cheek,
formerly the sheriff, and now the deputy
sheriff of Cumberland county, KY, started
from Burksville to take a horse thief
named Ward to Bowling Green in the
Burksville and Glasgow stage coach. He
and the prisoner were the only occu-
pants of the coach besides the driver.
At a noted spring by the wayside
about ak miles beyond Glasgow, they
stopped to get drink, aud Col.
Cheek incautiously left a revolver
(the only weapon in the party lying on
the seat. The prisoner seized the pistol
and ran, pursued on foot by Col. Cheek
and George Cephas, the stage driver. The
pursuit confined until all were nearly eI-
hausted, and Cephas, in advance of the
sheriff, was gaining on Ward, when the
latter commenced firing at his pursuers.
AZ Cephss closed with Ward he saw the
sheriff stumble and fall. Thinkin. that
Cheek had been shot, he wrenched the
pistol from Ward and Immediately killed
him. They then placed The body in the
stage and proceeded with it TO Glasgow.

A CURIOU. LAW sUTr.

The Louisville Courier says that during
the war Mayor Kaye, in obedience to
the City Council advertised that the city
would pay a bounty of $500 to anybody
who would enlist as one of the quota of
soldiers which Louisville was required to
furnish. AT that time slavery existed,
but, under Lineolh's proclamation, every
slave who enlisted was declared free, and
vi ct Grmis, was protected against the
claims of his master. A negro slave en-.
listed, his enlistment was credited on the
city quota, and the city authorities paid
the promised $500 bounty, not to the
man, but to his master Now the negro
briDg Is suit in the United States Circuit
Court for the recovery of the $500,
which, he contends, the city promised
him, sni which he claims that he earned
and is entitled to under any fair inter-
probation Of the Mayors advertisements.
He contends that by the act of enlist
ment he became free and legally compe>
tent to claim and recover the wages and
rewards of his army service. This case
is now on Judge Billiards. docket, Hon.
Humphrey Marshall for the plaintiff and
ex-Gov. Bramlette and Judge Bullitt for
the city. ..s..-. -t|..G#.
We understand, says that paper, that
the defense will rel y to some extent on
the decision of the Court of Appeals de-
claring unconstitutional the act under
which certain counties soug hit to raise
bounty money by taxing alike those liza
BILE to draft and those who were not
liable. As the decision involves the legal
status and rights of slaves enlisted under
Lincnln's proclamation, besides other
novel law points, and as counsel are emf
nent lawyers. the argument and decision
of the case will be looked for with CEN
siderable interest ...

NASHVILLE, July /, 1869.-To the peo-

letter and in person received for the pas,

induced to believe, of the solid and sub.

brought me forward as a candidate for

In obedience to these calls, hereby an

to meet assemblies of the people on every

do not affect that do not desire to be

profitably employ the time. But, believ-
ing that | understand the immediate
business necessary for the promotion of
the interests of the people of The district
and that some previous legislative expe-
rieDce hss qualified me for the position,
offer myself.
| am in favor Of the most prompt &C.
ton that can be had by the Governor, the

opacity under the Bill of Rights, or all
torjoiaed, TO secure the assembling CT
a Convention at the earliest prscti.
able moment, to amend the con-
sutton and laws, and remove
all existing disabilities in regard to the
elective franchise. The most feasible plan
conformable 10 law, is the best, and theone
will favor by vote and voice. The priv
leges nov enjoyed by any portion of the
community, do not propose TO disturb.
The business interests of this constituent
cy in several important features demand
| egislationt. The mercantile community, in
my judgmen needs a representative who
comprehends their wants and sympsthizes
with their condition under present laws,
The general economic interests Of the peo-
pie in every pursuit, while requiring
broader and more liberal legislation, should
be under the discipline Of stricter statutes,
and such measures shall receive my sup.

points necessary to alluded to, but in be
