PARTY ORGANIZATION.

After the nominations were made by
theJudicial Convention yesterday evening,
some gentleman proposed a resolution
looking to the organization of the Con-
servative Democratic party, for future
elections. The resolution was promptly
laid on the table, being no part of the
business of the Convent ion. 1t was sug-
gested by a necessity which all, no doubt,
feel. We suggest that the Seymour Com
mittcc of 1868, is still in existence, and
we suppose, will take some step TO ac-
complish the desired organization soon.
If it should fail to do SO, the people,
through the press, will doubtless take
steps to bring about, at an early day, an
object which we all esteem of great i'm
pOrtancc.
Nashville union and American. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1868-1875, 1870-07-12

IT is q curious fact, and well worth
noting, says the New York World, that
while President Grant was suffered to
pass through Connecticut without excit-
ing anything even distantly resembling
popular enthusiasm, mention casually
made by Senator Casserly in his Fourth
of July Grafton of Gen. Mcclellan was
followed by such an Outburst of applause
as compelled the orator to suspend his
discourse for the moment. The truth is
that the ignOble worship of mere success
has no real hold after all on the popular
heart. It is the genuine personal quail
ties of all men that in the long run deter
mine the allegiance to them of their fell
lows, not the maneuvers Of their political
manufacturers nor the whims of destiny.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO KISS A LADY's
HANDIN BALTIMORE.

HAND lN bALEA1UOhE<s
Time was when courtly Difference to
the sex not only sanctioned but exaeted
the impression of the kiss of valor upon
the hand of beauty; when my lady's taper
fingers were reverentialy raised to my
lords lips, merely as who should say in
pantomime. 81 hope your ladyship is
we'll" But the days of old romance are
gone, says the New York World, and,
save in Spain, where still the customary
salutation is, 'Beso los manos de listed, :"
the kissing of hands is abolished as an
innocent greeting, and even made to bear
an evil, not to say felonious, significance.
In Baltimore of chivalrous renown dwell
T Newton Siebert, Esquire, and his ladye
faire, not in their own feudal castle, but
under tenure from bold John Leeson,
who to his proud position as landholder,
adds the more humble craft of carpentry.
What between quarterly visits to collect
his rents, and more frequent calls to do
small repairs, Johns presencein the domi-
ell of Siebert was often required and on
one of these occasions, in some day-dream,
mayhap, of bygone times, meeting the
hostess in the hall, he testified his knight
ly devotion by sinking gracefully on one
knee and pressing chaste salute upon
her lily hand. She, however, with more
than maiden modesty, and her jealous
lord with modern mercantile ideas, jointly
resented this mode Of expressing respect
full admiration, and unromantic jurymen
were found to take business like view
of the case, and to estimate the pecuniary
value of the stolen favor at 81, 600. This
verdict being brought to the ears of Dob
bin, judge before whose Superior AS
size Baltimore bows, that magistrate has
ungallantly decided that the price above
named is 'far beyond any reasonable
damages the plaintiffs wife had sus
tanned, +" and that even $500 would be ga
very exorbitant sum for the offense COM
mitted.n Still he is willing to award the
latter valuation, and the plaintiffs are
allowed few days to determine whether
they will accept it or have the former
verdict set aside altogether. Thus is re-
corded the final episode of the chivalric
era, and the establishment of market
price for that to have omitted which
would have been breach of duty in our
ancestors.

HOW 1x.rHrs,


The Knoxville Chronicle (Radical) said
in its issue Of the 9TH inst, speaking of
the nomination of Col. J. III. Thornburgh
for Attorney General by the Conservative
convention at Knoxville on the 4th of
July: ''Ife called at our Office and au-
thorized us, in case he was nominated by
the convention, to say he would not ac-
cept nomination from that party" Col.
Thornburgh was absent then. On his re-
turn he wrote the committee authorized
to apprise him of bis nomination as fol-
lows:
''To be endorsed by your body, who
well know my Republican sentiments as
IAN Efficient energetic and impartial pros
ecuting officer whom you are willing to
trust for the future, is recognition of
my official conduct of which / may well
be proud. l am grateful for your ex-
preston of confidence in me and will be
happy to have your support, and that of
all good citizens irrespective of party.
Ii elected, viii endeavor to so discharge
the laborious duties of the Office as to
merit The confidence of all good citizens. p"
The Chronicle says we are "singularly
ignorant of the situation" there. We
confess If we were to follow its teaching,
we should be in just the condition it sug-
gests.
