The supreme JudgeshIp.

To the Editors of the Union and American:
1 see the name of Col. J. ]. Freeman an
nounced as acandidate for one Of the places
upon the Supreme Bench ofthe State from
West Tennessee.
Without wishing to disparage the claims
of any other aspirants for the position, /
wish briefly to present some OF the reasons
why think he should be elected. He is
industrious, eminently qualified and OF
irreproachable moral character. In adj
dition to this, it is in great measure to
him we are indebted for the privilege OF
voting. he got up the case OF the State
VS.. Staten, and by his industry obtained
the decision of the Supreme Court, and to
this decision and its results are we indebted
for the restoration of freedom to the people
of the State. Would it not be ingratltude
in us to so soon forget such services?

connected with the Sabbath schools of the
First Presbyterian Church, went out yes
terday morning to Hicks Grove, on tie

had arranged for happy and joyous occa-

The weather was bad, as it appears has
been generally the case on the Gays OF the
picnics during the season. The cool
dampness of the morning, and the rain in
the afternoon, very materially interfered
with the festivities, though much genuine
enjoyment and pleasantly was had, and the
parties participating will not soon forget
the event.

any railroad accident of special importance
to chronicle, and with the Nashville and
Northwestern road this has been psrtica'
larly the case. We have, however, 10 men
ton casualty on this road that. occurred
on Friday to the tram going Vest of a
painful character. The accident occurred
at point known as Hollow Rock, ne 81
hundred miles from Nashville, and not a
great distance from Mckenzie A freight
train going west approached the bridge at
the point indicated, and came in contact
with spread rail. The momentum and
thu sudden contact turned three cars of the
train over upon the bridge pretty badly
smashing them. One man Vas killed out
right being hurled from the train, and
having his neck broke. His name was
Pitman, and he was q man of family, living
in the neighborhood of the occurrence.
Two other persons, whose names we did
not learn, were severely though not seri-

The passenger train due here yesterday
