Gracefully RETIRES.

The following card from Mr. Thornberg
appears in the Press and Times of yester
day:
The Conservative party having mons
mated for Mayor, a gentleman who not
only possesses the ability to man
age the city affair, but also
deserves and receives the conf.
dence of all who know him-and the
people having seen fit to elect him by an
overwhelming majority, l cheerfully
withdraw in his favor, and take pleasure
in saying that Ifeel confident my friend
Pope will magnanimously do the same
thing. To the 1,0O9 gentlement who
did me the honor to cast their vote for
me, I wish to say that K. J. Morris de-
serves, and the financial condition of the
city demands, that his administration
should receive your hearty support.
Last winters snow is gone. The election
is over. Let US all unite in manly effort
to make our city prosperous and our peo-
pie happy. The gentlemen whose names
appeared upon my ticket for
Aldermen and Councilmen were, in
every case, selected by myself, with
out their knowledge, and in one oil
two cases their names we're placed upon
the ticket without their consent. They
were not pledged to vote for any particular
man or any particular measure, and from
the returns, as published in the morning
papers, do not think they will do it.
City papers (if they think proper to do
so without his consent) will please copy
and charge to K. J. Morris.

FIGHTING JOE COOPER MAKES a
RAID UPON ILLICIT DIsTILLEBS.
Reaf His Own Came.

The Knoxville Press and Herald gives
the following account of Gen. Cooper's
raid upon illicit distillers, and the result
of his labors in that new field Of glory:
On Monday last, Joe" Cooper, known
among the militia as "Fighting Joe" and
who, for his services during the terrific
campaign of 1867, was commissioned Col
lector of Internal Revenue for the second
Tennessee district, left Knoxville in COM
pany with a deputy for the purpose of
making raid upon the illicit distillers of
"balm" among the Shawnee mountains of
Campbell county. On Wednesday morn
ing the valiant Collector threaded his way
among the sinuous mountain roads, every
foot of which he was familiar with, having
first seen daylight among the Businesses of
that mountainous region, and grown up
to young manhood among the "Shawnees,"
as the natives are called, all unconscious
Of his brilliant future.
A poor fellow who was making a barrel
of apple brandy, his "stilP' encased in q
huge trunk of a fallen tree, was surprised
by the sudden appearance on the scene of
"Msj Gen Joe, "and incoDtinently took to
his heels. In passing the wagon of
neighbor, the revenue collector had the
still, etc placed inside of il and ordered
the neighbor 90 "drive on" Towards
evening the party arrived at the house Of
Allison Kincaid, and, after seeing the wa
gon safe in the yard, Mr. Cooper and his
deputy entered the house, had supper, a
social chat, little game or two, and final
ly retired to sleep away their tiredness.
As the clock in the farmers beet room
struck the midnight hour, a party Of
Shawneea, headed By the owner of the
conf Gated still, were seen by the wakeful
eyes Of Tabitha, tbs family cat, who was
having g quie! little time with her cousin
Tom, to enter the yard, barl,ss the mul:
and drive off the wagon with the still
worm and the other machinery used fol
distilling the dew of that region.
On awakening, the Revenue Collector
| found out that a raid had been made on hi
captured properly, while he was enjoying
a peaceful slumber, and, without waiting
for breakfa fast and the sympathy of th'
household, but muttering diaDolical threal
against all Violators of the revenue lawP
he pulled on his boots in the early dawl
of morning, and with his deputy, folded
! his sadde-bags and SILENTLY stole away.

The MayOralfy PISt rhickens-Applt

an Injunction

The MayOralfy PIot ThIckens-APplE-
cation of a Defeated Candidate for
an Injunction.
Having yesterday heard Mr. Pope and
| his friends were determined not to submit
to the election of Saturday last, and would
probably apply for an injunction against
the seemingly successful sspirant for the
Office of Mayor, taking his seat, we called
upon the disappointed candidate and found
our information on the subject but too
true. We found the venerable ex-candi-
date and his worthy attorney busily en-
Gagged in the preparation of petition to
the Legislature, praying that the election,
for good if not sufficient reason" de de-
clared null and void 80 far as certain par
ties are concerned, and that the petitioner
be declared duly elected. The following
is copy of the petition:
To the Honorable General Assembly
OfTenneSsee.
You petitioner would respectfully re-
present that an election for Mayor of the
city of Nashville was held on Saturday,
the 18th of September, 1869, at which
your petition, K ] Morris, and II III
Thornberg vera candidates, and as great
frauds and irregularities have been prac-
ticed, that your petitioner would respect
fully through your honorable body con-
test said election, for the following rea-
sons, to wit:
In the first ward every vote cast for
Tofitinnar aiNhnr ~ fo1
thrown out.
In the second ward the sans transac-
ton occurred.
In the third ward al votes for your petit
TONER were thrown out.
In the fourth ward great fraud was per-
prated as it was known that this was my
ward and that 1000 friends of mine resided
there--yet the judges did not return one
of my votes TO the commissioner.
In the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth,
and tenth wards no! a single vote was re-
turned in my favor, although can prove
that J, $50 votes we're cast for me-
l was blasphemed and reported to be a
Know Nothing and an enemy to the Irish,
thereby losing all the votes at the Nash
vile and Chattanooga railroad depot.
10 the eleventh and twelfth wards l re-
ceived all the votes cast, and no returns
have been made of same to the Com
missioner, thereby causing great injustice |
to your petitioner.
For the reasons stated and considered,
your petitioner asks that said election be |
set aside, so far as Messrs. Morris and |
Thornberg are concerned, and that your
petitioner be indicted into office, and re-
specially refers your worshipful body TO |
the following cases and decisions embrac. |
ing law on the subject.

Alarming State of Things-APprehen

Alarming state OF EninSS-AppreneH
sion of General InsurrectIOn.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-The news reports
to-day from Spain are of al excit'
ing-even alarming character. Pop.
ular disafection and disloyalty &c
the existing government prevail very
generally throughout the patton, and
both have again been expressed in the
shape of an armed counter revolution.
There was an insurrectionary demonstra'
ton made by the volunteer troops in Bar
celonia last night. 1t was occaaioned by
the receipt of the government order CONS
manding the volunteers to disarm, and
an attempt on the part of the local authori.
ties to force it. The fact that the volunr
teers of Tarragona, which refused to dis
arm previously, were suffering imprison-
ment, for the ofense was made cause for
en- additional attempt.
In short time five barricades-one
being built by the public cartmen-were
thrown up. The cartmen's barricsde was
assaulted by the regular troops and carried
by bayonet charge, after very desperate
resistance on the part Of its defenders and
a heavy loss Of life. During the engage
ment the insurgents had twenty four men
killed, large number wounded and
seventy Of their most active brethren made
prisoners. The troops had two com.
missioned officers killed and several sci
dieTs wounded. Order was subsequently
restored.

stration is announced to be made in Mad
rid during Wednesday, the och instant
More trouble is anticipated on that oc~

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION

To the Editors of the Union and American.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Sept "a, 1851
take the liberty of dropping you few
lines on the subject of the senatorial cleo.
ton. Judging from the tone of some Of
our West Tennessee papers one would sup
pose that there was but little hope that
ex-President johnson would be the Sue
cessful candidate. The power and iniu-
ence of newspapers in forming public opin.
ion is, l am glad to say, truly wonderful,
believing that their intentions are in gen.
eral good. But when the masses of the
people have resolved on a certain course,
but little can be done by the press to turn
them aside from their fixed determination.
Such is the case to day in Tennessee. But
few men, if any, have been elected to the
Legislature to whom sufficient credit must
not be awarded for ability to take posi-
ton on a paper, and if SO, they certainly
know their own mind without getting it
from the papers. The public mind is
made up; the people Of Tennessee have
resolved that Andrew johnson shall once
again declare from his place in the Senate:
"The people shall be protected in their
| rights and the constitution shall be pre-
served" l give it to you as my candid
opinion that when the day of the election
arrives there will be but little, if any, OPP
position to his elections from West Tennes-

The city TreasurershIp.

Among the announcements of candi-
dates this morning will be found the name
of James Nichol, Esq, who offers for the
city treasurership. Mr.. Nichol is one Of
the Oldest citizens of Nashville, having
been fifty years a resident, and for the
greater portion of the time a taxpayer.
He has never sought or held an Office.
Both in capacity and by proverbial integ-
rity, he is qualified for the Office of City
Treasurer. In his selection the city will
obtain an excellent officer, and worthy
citizen will receive no more than his de-
serts at the hands of his fellow-citizens
We hope he may be elected without op'

THINGS THEATRICAL.
Men VINO Marty Actresses.

duchesses, it by no means follows
that every actress who marries off
the stage will become one. The
men who solicit them are seldom
lords in disguise or Admirable
Crichtons. On the contrary, they
are too often adventurers, who cast
up with keen calculation the exact
value of the actress, and propose to
her as a commercial speculation. A
popular actress is worth anywhere
from five to twenty thousand dol
lars a year income, and that is no
light temptation to the well-dressed
idlers, loungors, betting sharps and
Bohemians who prey upon human
ity. The man who marries and
takes his wife from the stage is, Of
course, as much removed from COM
ment as any other private gentle
man who marries any lady. But
the husband Of the actress who res
mains upon the stage, even against
his will, must expect curiosity and
criticism, especially if his wife is a
popular favorite.
tbs quite fresh in the recollection
Of play -goers that when the charm
ing and universally esteemed Jean
Davenport became the wife Of Mr..
-afterward Gen.-Lander, she left
the stage and remained off until
after his death, and then went
back, in defiance of the opposition
of his family. Mrs. Lander had
reason for thus placing upon the
play bills the hoDored name of one
of the most exclusive and respected
of the old families Of Massachusetts,,
in the fact that she had given up,
with a noble generosity, large for
tune to the sick and wounded SOL
diers during the war, and had thus
reduced herself to comparative
poverty.
Miss Kate Bateman, alady whose
private worth and social virtues
have gained her the esteem of two
hemispheres, married DR.. Crow, a
surgeon, but remained on the stage
in obedience to the protest of a
world against the eclipse Of her
rare genius.
Miss Maggie Mitchell married
Mr.. Paddock, and retired from the
stage in compliance with her hus-
bands wish.
Miss Kate Terry, of the English
stage, was welded to q rich linen
draper, who removed her at once
to the wealthy sphere she is hence~
forth to occupy.
Miss Olive Logan was married
to a gentleman, but that mistake
was soon rectifed by mutual con-
sent, and the lady returned tempo
rarily to the stage she so gracefully
and airily adorned.
Miss Lizzie Price pledged her
maiden future to Mr.. While, and
was Immediately thereafter in
stalled in 4 Fifth avenue residence.
Mss Madeline Henriques became
the bride of Mr.. Jennings, at one
time q war letter writer for the
London Times in America. She left
the stage for the time, to the deep
regret of her many admirers, but
has just returned, to joy and gIad-
den us with her bright presence.
Her return was an ovation worthy
of an Eastern queen, and the ruth
less reporter who had despoiled
New York Of its favorite was for
given when it was seen that he had
brought her back brighter and moro
beautiful than ever.
These, however, are the pleasant
exceptions to the lowest order of
men who marry actresses. Too
many rush into wedlock only to find
they have become the victims Of the
lazy lazzaronj, whose only thought
is to riot on their earnings.

An Agreeable Affair.

The ball given last night at Concordia
Hall, by the Hebrew Reformed congrega-
ton was one of the most pleasant reunions
of the season, and reflected great credit on
the managers and all concerned. 1t was
one of those sociable and agreeable par
ties which was enjoyable by all who were
fortunate enough to be present. The ball
was given for the benefit of the church,
and we hope that other entertainments of a
similar character may follow.
