THE CITY

The Concert by Home Talent
Last night at Masonic Hall, was an unqual-
fled success, being listened to by large
and appreciative audience, filing the hall,
composed Of the elite and fashion of our
city, who testified their appreciation by
unstinted applause.
The vocalism was of the highest order,
the selections being eminently classic and
in good taste. The singing of Mrs. Craig
and Mrs. Nettie Bowen was sufficient to
raise the audience to enthusiasm. We can
allude to their part of the programme only
by saying that it was all good. Mrs Craig
is well known TO our citizens, who never
fail to turn out en- H1dSse to hear her bird
like tones and faultless execution. She needs
nothing we can say to enhance the reputation
she has among us. Mrs. Bowen is a new
candidate for favor in this community, and
nobly sustained the encomiums that come
with her 10 Nashville. This lady possesses
strong pure soprano, powerful and clear
in the upper register while her nlezSO tones
remind us Of Alboni With remarkable IA
cility and correctness in execution and in
tonation, she possesses artistic feeling that
enables her to render the most difficult
compositions easily, correctly and with fine
expression. We ought certainly to en-
courage and patronize ladies who have
spared no labor or study to fit themselves
as vocalists of the first order The instru-
mental part of the entertainment was real
ly good. Baldwin played De Beriot's third
air with feeling and much express
sion. Mr.. Ruse accompanied the
vocal music with much skill
We predict for this young man bril-
liant future as an artistic. Everybody pro-
nounces the concert q great success, and
the announcement by DR.. Hoyt that the
concert would be repeated next Tuesday
evening for the benefit Of the Horticultural
Society meets the approval of everybody.

Tine Trotting Races.

A large crowd assembled at the Nashville
Trotting Course yesterday t6be lookers-en
at the match between Lizzie Craig and
Newsboy. The latter had won oft repeated
lauTels on the same field, and for some
time past had walked the turf the master
of the situation. His reputation was
known, and the knowing ones consequent
" stamped him as the favOrite, and readily
bought in pools at so to S.. Lizzie,
however, although untried in public, had
her hackers, who eagerly picked up the
short cards.
At the appointed hour, the contestants
made their appearance on the track, and
started out on the
FIRST HEAT.-Nevsbov took the lead,
which he kept to the quarter pole, when
Lizzie commenced moving up slowly, and
before reaching the half mile had passed
her competitor, and kept in front to the
stand. Time 2:59. r
The mare was now the fsvorite by large
odds, and there was no little hedging. 1t
was evident that the wagon was too heavy
for little Newsboy, and so it turned out,
SECOND HEAT.-Lizzie took the lead at
the start and kept 1t throughout, winning
the heat with ease. Time PSI. There Is
another match between the same entries
next week, when they go to harness.

A Letter frem the Chief Jusfice-His
Views ON Universal Suffrage and

n hGtteE AENuA tNe GnAeh - 0Stkce-nLa
Views ON UNIVERSAL Suffrage and
/ Amnesty. '- sta eflsI
NEW YoRK, Sept. 19.-The Tribune
publishes an important letter from. Chief
Justice Chase, written in 1868, explaining
/ to a friend his position On universal suf-
frage and amnesty, and showing why JEFF
ferson Davis was not sooner tried.
The Tribune says the letter has
already attained some publicity, but
{ doubts whether the Chief Jus.
tees consent thereto had been
secured After speaking of his indiffer-
ence to high official position, and his be-
lief that official distinction should only be
sought as means for useful service, he
says that the restoration of the States to
their old position on the basis of univer-
cal suffrage and equal rights is most de-
sirable. He says this point being secured
all others are secure. He says he has
never advocated universal suffrage and
immediate amnesty to all. He says: 81
have said that universal suffrage would
reconcile comprehensive unity with tran
quillity and prosperity. would have
no more disfranchisement after the COM
plete establishment of universal suffrage
than is absolutely necessary to secure the
new order of things and the new State
Constitutions against overthrow. Those
lately in rebellion have no more right TO
destroy the country BY ballots than by
bullets" In regard to the trial of Jeffer-
son Davis, he says he neither sought nor
Stunned the responsibility of trying him.
He explains at length the condition of the
courts in Virginia at that time, aud says
that up to May, 1858, there was no term
of court at Richmond where he could try
him, and from that time he had been
ready. The date of Chase's letter was
Jan. /, 1865. ---

The Proposed Free Bridge

To the Editors Of the Union and American:
Now that free bridge is being talked OF
and advocated by many, and really should
be built, would it not be wise to go at it in
the right way?
First, hold public meeting in Nashville
and Edgefeld for the purpose of devisiDg
ways to raise means to build bridge.
A small donation would be required Of
each city to defrsy the expenses of three
commissioners to take the enterprise In
charge, to test the ways of raising the
means as well as the plans, location and
cost; also, to calculate what would be a
reasonable advance on property with free
bridge, and the consequent increase Of
taxes to both cities, county and State, and
to weigh fairly in the balance the justice
due one portion of the county from all
portions of the county in offering
free access and egress to the
county seat across all streams;
Also to estimate the advantages to Nash
vile in removing tax on all the market
ing, wood, lumber, etc, from the north
side of the river, not losing sight of the
prospect that we will soon be supplied with
a large portion of our coal, deposited on
the north side of the river by the Hender-
son and connecting railroads, and carted
over to Nashville.
Further, to ascertain if the adjoining
counties north will aid, with either cash or
bonds, in constructing free bridge, that
will relieve their people of taxes or toll in
entering our city and give them free &C
cess, so far as the river is concerned, in
bringing their produce to Nashville. We
think all these points are worthy of con-
sideration, and hope some one more inter
ested than we are (as we do not cross the
bridge once in three months) will take up
the matter, and at least show that the citi-
zens on the north side Of the river have as
much right, at least, to ask the county to
build free bridge as Middle Tennessee
has to ask the United States to improve the
Cumberland river, or as Representative
has to ask the State of Tennessee to re-
move shoal in some creek or allow fish,
dam to be put in one JUSTICE

We notice in the Nashville papers several
calls upon Capt. VIM. H. billiard, to rep
resent Davidson County in the Lower
House of the next General Assembly. He
was formerly citizen of West Tennessee,
and one of Forests most gallant officers of
the line. However praiseworthy mans
military record may be, it by no means
quliies him for a legislator. Happily,
though, Captain billiard possesses rare

The stacey WHISKY seizure.

NJ will be Remembered that on WtU1eS-
day last Supervisor Emory's Assistant, Mr..
Garrett, seized IO1 barrels Of whisky on
Market street, belonging to Capt Stacey.
The seizure was made upon the ground that
tha nroof- of the whisky was higher than
tine stamps indicated. Capt. Stacey at no
time feared an investigation. The Govern
ment inspectors have inspected the whisky
and decide that there was no cause for its
seizure; that the aggregate proof was not
in excess of the stamp, and that all whis-
kies were equally liable to seizure. The
entire 1O1 barrels run but gallons in al
beyond the technical legal requirement.
and this is, as we understand, below the
average of WHISTLES on the market.
