it on sA ground and plowed it under.
This is the last way to apply lime, If you

HILLMAN's HALL.

Seine doubts being entertained by
number of our citizens as to the
safety of this Hall, an investigation
was thought advisable, by the pro-
prietors, to clear up such doubts as to
its strength and the prae ticability of
using it for rink. 's.' I3''.' -.
On Thursday morning last several
peioes of the floor were removed from
center and sides, exposing the !oists.
These were found to he poplar, q
inches thick and IL inches wide,
placed IS inches from center to cen
ter, with one row of bridging on each
side between posts and walls. A
solid wall, Is inches thick, IS built up,
running the length of the building,
ON which the joists have a bearing OF
4 inches "a heavy plate being placed
between them and the walD, and are
let into the side walls full as deep.
The clear span of joists on one side is
81 feet on the other, 10 feet. q n.Hl
The timber being III fine condition,
as far as could be seen, we do not hes
itatc.in saying that the entire safety
of the Hall, for the purpose for which
1t is now being used, Is beyond any
question of doubt -ir,u,o...-.. ...f.
The undulations felt when the
skating isgoing on, are no evidence
that the timbers are defective; but,
on the other hand, proves the sound
ness of their condition. Rotten tim
Der has but little elasticity, and yields
gradually to pressure placed on any
part of 1t.
I'VE believe that we can safely say
to those who enjoy the graceful and
healthful exercises of the rink, and
who have patronized it so literally
since its institution in our city, that
they need apprehend no danger in
this Hall, save only those incident to
the exercises themselves.

THE West Tennessee Wing takes
us gravely to task for suggesting Con.
ventions in the three divisions Of the
State, for the purpose of nominating
candidates for the Supreme Court.
Our sole purpose was to obviute, RS
far as possible, the scramble for office
foreshadowed by the rush for minor
offices at the March election We
had no intention to draw any lines,
sectional or political, between those
three divisions, but simply to convey
the idea that the people of West Ten
nessee would be better judges Of the
qualifications of their own aspirants
to the Supreme Bench than they can
be who live In other divisions of the
State. and pice Versa. s. u yfW
The fact that the interests of the
entire people are equally involved in
the character and qualifications of
the Supreme Court, is neither ques-
toned nor denied by our proposition;
MORGAN it be, logically, inferred there
from thatiwe insist upon vote, by
Leach division for its own candidates
and for none others. The election,
by general ticket, Is prescribed by
law, and we would not evade 1t If we
could. in Hoh 'E' '|'
We. have, no objections to urge
against nominations by State Con-
fention-our solicitude being for the
fitness Of the candidates, not the
manner in which they may be pre-
scented to the people--and forharmony
in the Conservative ranks, and If
these objects can he better secured by
a State, than by Dlvision-Conven-
tions, we shall be more than content.
We are not content, however, to. rest
under the imputation of having de-
MED to West Tennessee the right to
vote for East, or Middle Tennessee
candidates. If our proposition bears
any such construction, it certainly
was not so intended. If the consti-
tuition had ordered the election OF six
Judges without apportioning two to
each division, q State. Convention
would have suggested itself as, the
only mode Of nomination applicable
to the case; but since there must be
two from each grand division, we can
yet see nothing monstrous in the sug'
gestion that each division make IT.
