Mr.. Logan, from the Military Commit
tee, reported adversely on the bill permit
ting army and navy officers to hold civil
offices.
A bill donating condemned cannon to
the Mcpherson Monument Association
passed.
Various other private bills passed.
The House refused by vote of forty
two to eighty eight to take up the Louis
lana contested election case of Sorrell
against Bailey, and proceeded to the bust
ness on Speakers table and disposed of a
large number of unimportant bills.

600, 1000 Acres of the Public Domain
Senate bill granting lands to aid in the
construction of railroad and telegraph
from Portland to Astoria and McMinnvilie,
Oregon, excited long debate.
MIR. Holman said this bill appropriated
$40, 900 acres of public land. He had
stated on former occasion that there were
ninety bills pending. appropriating~o ver
100, 600, 900 acres, but he had since learned
that this estimate was far below the reality,
and that the number of bills pending was
over 10, appropriating over 80, 900, 900
acres
Since the establishment of the Govern
ment there had been given away for pur-
poses of education rs, 900, 600 acres of pub
lie lands, and 1856, 900, 900 to build up the
fortunes of crafty and INSCRIPTIONS men.
No less than $1,000, 900 have been grant
cd to corporations within thelast ten years.
If that policy were continued it would not
be long till there would be no public lands
left..for homestead and presumption pur-
poses, far which over 10000, 900 acres had
been taken up last year.
After further discussion, Mr. Holman
moved to refer the bill to the Committee
on Public Lands; gatived-yeas Is,
nays SO.
The bill then passed-yeas, 81; nays, 60.
A large number of Senate bills were
then referred to appropriate committees.
Mr.. Garfield, from the Committee on
Banking and Currency, reported bill to
increase banking facilities. Recommitted
The House then took a recess.
At the evening session the tariff bill was
considered in Committee of the Whole,

The rown OF swcetwatcr.

From what we learn from our exchanges
in that quarter, and from other sources, we
see that there is no town on the East Ten
nessee and Georgia railroad that is improv-
ing more rapidly than is that of Sweet
water at the present time. In addition to
the many new buildings recently erected a
large two story brick house is now in
course of construction, and another Of
like character will soon be on foot, besides
eight new frame buildings to be erected
during the summer. This is evidence suf-
ficient to cause the prople to look forward
to the time when their village will be
classed among the foremost towns in Ten
nessee. Their schools are in hourishing
condition Mechanics are all engaged at
work-and strange to say a, ''loafer' can
seldom be seen on the streets. A more
quiet and peaceable community of people
is not to be found.

ARREST AND ESCAPE.
Co.'S A rrcsled. and Gets ANYnY.


DIR. Jerome Foster Gets DisorderIy.
Gets Arrested, and Gets Away.
nicely dressed young man of the pc
Rod, who made his first appearance in this
locality rs the business manager or agent
of the celebrated DIR. Lighthill, and subse-
quently astounded the town by brilliant
matrimonial alliance and extensive prepa-
rations for European tour, was yesterday
evening arrested on the charge of assault
and battery, the woman he had solemnly
vowed to 'loye, honor" etc., being the
aggrieved party. At the station Mr.. or DR..
Foster put in fine gold bracelet and
chain as security for his appearance this
morning. The jewelry used for bond by
Foster was the property Of his wife, who
last night called at the station to inquire if
such disposition had been made of her
golden treasures. When Mrs. Foster re-
turned home, she was informed that Je-
rome had been there during her absence
''cutting up and breaking things" She
called upon policeman Burke to re arrest
her truant liege, and it was soon after
done When brought to the station the
second time, Foster expressed himself as
exceedingly sorry for what occurred, said
that he would like to be excused, and made
sundry promises of good conduct, if per-
mitted to 60 and sin no more. The SER
geant was 10th to let the festive Jerome of
SO easily, and while in the act of telling
him so, was called upon to dispose of an
other case Just arrived.
In the confusion of the moment, Foster
stepped to the door to speak with retiring
policeman and never stepped back any
more. He left his hat, however, as host
age for his return at some future period
in the fall, if not later How Foster got
away is not known to any body but Foster,
nor is knowledge of the fact very import
ant to the public at large. 1t may, how
ever, be well enough to remark for the
benefit of those who admire Jerome's style
that there is no reason to fear he has madly
given himself to the meandering Culnber-
land.

rIarriage under DifficuIties.

On Thursday a marriage under rather
novel circumstances took place in the city.
As to whether sovereign State can be
coerced or not, it is settled point tina!
the matrimonial state can be. Not long
since lusty individual who supervises the
till of a small sized grocery, forgetful of
''Samiver' to beware of the vidders, ~
became very attentive 10 a neighbOring
and buxom widow. These attentions were
not at all disagreeablc, but encouraged
rather. By a sort of tacit understanding
the widow aforesaid felt that at no distant
day they were to become twain of one
flesh As it was all in the family, the
bridegroom, that was to be, at different
times got divers little sums of money from
the bride, that was to be. At length, how
ever, the ardor of the prospective Benedict
began to cool, and finally reached a tenn
perature of Alaskan frigidity. He ceased
his attentions altogether. The widow
could not stand this. What widow could /?
She got out warrant and had the false
one arrested, charging him with obtaining
money under false pretences. Here was a
sumner. PAY these bills or marry me, .
cried the woman. The man looked at the
bills; they amounted to more than the size
of his pile. He looked at the widow she
was plump and fair to look upon. His
mind was made up and he submitted to
the matrimonial moose, which was legally
tied, then and there The two went home
and the warming chdricdri they received
Thursday night convinced the neighbor-
hood roundabout that the fortunes of the
two had become as one.

The Nashville and Chattano oga Railroad
made trial trip down the track with a
train of new box-cars and new and superb
ladies passenger coach attached. The cars
are Of very superior finish and workman
ship. They are entirely specimens of home
manufacture, and they, especially the pas
senger coach, cannot be surpassed by any
fthe establishments East or North. The
car is as perfect in finish as anything in
that line well can be. The machinery and
gearing are of the finest and most substan-
tial material, and the finish evinces elabo-
rate skill. The car is painted beautiful
maroon color, which is strikingly beautiful
and attractive. The inside is finished off
with highly polished and oil grained walnut
and other excellent material. The seats
are faced and bottomed with green velvet
cushions, and are soft, elegant and elastic.
1t will seat comfortably about sixty passen-
gers, and is, taking everything into the ac-
count, neat and handsome travelling
palace. The box cars are among the best
constructed of that class we have ever seen
anywhere. They were also manufactured
at the establishment. Nashville is justly
ranking as the first manufacturing city in
the Southwest, and our splendid car and
machine shops are contributing no little to
this well earned reputation.

event, which was no less than the pre-
sentation, through Mr.. Trimble Brown e
Major William Clare, of the cane won BY
tue latter at the late Orphans Fair. The
gentlemen were escorted to the side OF
the hall, when Mr.. Brown assembled the
| platform with the cane IN his hand. Al
large crowd instantly gathered around
them, as amid deep silence and with great
humor he made the following remarks of
| presentation: 90
Major Glare As chairman of a commit
tee appointed by the ladies of the Orphans
Fair, am here tonight to present Won
with this testimonial so galIantIy won for Won
by your friends. It oives me unbounded
pleasure to be the Medium thro1ph which
1T passes to you. It is a tribute Of respect
which feel honored in being able to nav
to friendship, virtue which I vaIue SO
mghly. 1t giaddens my heart to have seem
friends rally around friend as yours have
done IN the late contest, and as the same
serves as the best Acknowledgement Of
my own deep feelings of gratitude to those

with the cause Of charity The heat of the
contest must syften and ostbside in the
thought that our rivalry aided the cause of
the fatherless, and that your triumph glad
dened the hearss'o of the orphans.
To the above Maj. Clare responded as
follows: -
Mr.. BroHn: 1t is double pleasure 10
me to receive this cane from the hands of
my most active opponent. 1t was not
victory ora triumph for me, but testimo-
NAL Of friendship from those who have
stood by me in the past as in the present
The cane decides nothing. You and will
go before convention for its decision. To
its dictates We viii yield, and its nominee
we pledge ourselves 60 support. This
cane, as | said before, is dear to me but as
testimonial Of friendship. II, in the con-
test over it, any ill4feelings have been en-
gendered amongst our respective friends,
let those ill-feelings be purified now on the
altar of charity, in the cause of the orphan.
The entire affair was most agreeable
one, and was happy termination of the
generous contest for the cane.
