Geing out and Coming In,

Yesterday E. R. Glascock, Esq, United
States Marshal of the Middle District OF
Tennessee, delivered the books, papers and
archives of his Office to Col. Jos. H.
Blackburn, his successor, who was duly in
stalled upon the duties of the Office.
In the retiracy of Mr.. Glascock, the
United States have dispensed with the ser
vices of q competent, honest, faithful and
efficient officer. He was appointed to the
office by Mr. Lincoln in 1861 In 1862,
after the Federal occupation of the city, he
resumed the duties of the Office at the So
licitation Of many of the old citizens Of
Nashville and of the District. During the
remainder of the war he executed the
functions Of the position with fidelity to
Government and the law, and without IN
necessary rigor to those who fell under the
ban of either. To the Court, the bar and
the public, throughout his service, he has
been all that either and all required, and
the good wishes of all are his, in any stu
alton he may hereafter fill, public or
private.
We understand that the Office will be con-
tinued, as heretofore, at the Capitol, and
that Col Blackburn will conduct it without
other change than in his chief deputy, to
which position he has appointed Thomas
D. Evans, Esq, of Alexandria, DeKalb
county.

Being confined to my bed with sickness
for the last three weeks, it has been impos-
sible for me to meet or see the people to
ask of them the high and appreciated IA
vor of their support, at the coming cleo
ton, for County Trustee of this county !;
and 1 avail myself of this means of asking
the people of my native county for their
support for the first time in my life. l ask
of the people, if they view us all qualified
to fill the place, to lock at the circum-
stances of the different candidates in life
their condition in health-compare them
all impartially, and then cast your votes for
the man who will make you a faithful Of
ficer, and the man who is less able to live
without the office. went into the Con-

from n Terrible Fate.

A Narrow Escape of Twin babies
from a Terrible Fate.
A lady RESIDING near the fre-engine
house in South Nashville is the mother of
twin babies, now nearly year. olds, and, as
usual in such cases, loves the pretty pair
immensely, and each to the same extent. A
circumstance which occurred to the babies
Yesterday afternoon greatly alarmed the
mother, and produced some excitement in
the neighborhood The nurse had taken
the twins from the house to make few
calls in that vicinity, but somehow
or other was detained longer than
had been previously intended. The
consequence was that the mother
became uneasy and alarmed for the safety
of the missing babies. Inquiries were
| made. but for time no information could
be gained of their whereabouts Finally,
somehow or other, word reached the any,
ious mother that at one time the nurse had
been seen in conversation with q suspicious
/ looking man, stranger, In the street, and
| that later in the afternoon the same man
was seen making his way toward a railroad
depot, carrying the babies in hamper
basket terrible suspicion flashed into
! the mind of every mother who heard the
story and the romance of the child stealer
was remembered with an agonizing dis
tinctness. The painful apprehension Of
the almost frantic mother was greatly In
creased by the hamper-basket rumor, and
the search for the missing children was re-
newed with increased vigilance. Every
body who loves babies joined in the search
and every woman and man inquired O.
every other man and woman if she Oh
he knew anything about the losI
treasures. This general inquiry at last de
veloped the fact that there was no founda,
ton in truth for the hamper-basket story
and that the twins had not been surrender
ed by their faithful nurse to the uncertain
mercies of suspicious looking man. Sh'
finally reached home with her precious
charge intact and both fast asleep. Her re
turn was hailed with every possible demons
tration of delight, wives and mothers wer
greatly rejoiced, and then quiet again
reigned supreme in that part of Soutl
Nashville.

which first made their appearance in the

been met with crusade Of ridicule as great
as that which has since greeted the more
modern "Grecian bend" The following
stanzas, written at that time, will show the

fore their ultimate triumph:

When every female forehead teens with grain?

NASHVILLE, March 81, 1870 Mr. Matt.
w. Allen; In answer to your proposition
to the candidates for Sheriff, I would sug-
gest that each candidate select Ave men
that are not related to the candidates Sc
lecting them, and no two from the same
district or ward; and let them ascertain
who is the strongest man in the Conserva-
tive party for Sheriff. This is fair propo-
sition. Certainly any man that has a
chance TO be elected can find five men out
side of his relatives and in different parts
of the county that will represent him
fairly.
This or any other plan that will suit all
Of my opponents, and at the same time
honestly represent the wishes of the peo-
pie, is all I ask. F. NJ WooDALL.

APubIic Calamity.

We regret to hear that the Directors o
our important manufacturing enterprise

ments here are about suspending work un.
til the relations of the State and National
Government are better understood and
settled. Enterprises which depend upon
the payment of subscriptions of stock fol-
commencing their vitality find the present
unsettled condition of affairs exceedingly
hurtful. The fact is great calamity, and
falls heaviest upon that class of men who
work hard for their daily bread of them
selves and families. A few unsatisfed
politicians can do immense harm when they
set their heads together for that purpose.

near the corner of High, when it was ran
over by a man on horseback, who was
riding very rapidly. 1t appears that he
