A DISPATCH, from Springfield,
announces the nomination of Mr..
James II. Williams, of Cheatham
county, as the candidate for Floater.
Nothing is said Of the nomination
for the Senate, but we suppose the
silence is based upon the foregone
conclusion that Col. Brandon would
be the nominee.

The Trotting Convention.

The delegates from the leading trotting as
sociations' of the country will meet in conven-
ton at the Everett House tomorrow evening
The business Of the convention will be the
adoption of code of rules which will here
after abolish malpractices upon the trotting
turf. AS everybody conversant with the mat
ter knows, we have had good rules heretofore,
but they were not always properly enforced.
If the convention and the associations which
it will represent agree upon plain, tersc code,
and then resolve that it shall be carried out
beyond all peradventure, much good will
result. Whatever the law may be, much will
depend upon the judges and officers who will
administer the law. The selection of judges
at races is of the utmost Importance. We
venture the assertion that more mischief is
often done by incompetence, or something
worse, in judges than by the want Of integrity
in drivers. There ought to be no man on the
stand to judge race who is pecuniariiy in
terested in the result, and If 1t be 80 enacted
the sanction Of the rule should be expulsion

Ths Colorsd SUCCESSOR Of JcT Davis.
The war has exhibited some dreadful re-
venges. Niuo years ago Mississippi was rep
resented In the Senate by JoH Davis, who ieft
mainly 10 assert the right Of white men tp
hold black ones distrapchised and Without
rights. Now there comes to succeed him
Reyels, colored man, whose chief aim seems
to be to assert the right Of black men to
relieve white rebels Of their disfranchsement
and to take of their bonds. This Is putting
Goals of fire upon an enemy's head with
scorching effect. But the most terrible
revenge Of all falls upon Sumner. The black
man has been his idol. He has worked Tor
him harder than the black slave ever worked
for jeff Davis. He has set his highest aim on
attaining the Senatorship for one OF the
oppressed race. But in proportion as he loved
the negro he has hated tho white master.
He has been grinding him hard ever since the
rebellion tripped him. lie has, like Shylock,
got shin on the hip" and would feed fat the
ancient grudge he owes him. But at this very
juncture in comes this negro Senator, whom
Hc \ouAucl/ uiu, ID ~ WCAep IoioCu w uAS
Senatorial seat beside him, and this negro, OF
all others, brings in a petition to restore their
rights to the disfranchised rebels and to let
Antonio keep his pound Of flesh. 1t is enough
to make even Sumner swear at the black man,
''Out, out, damned spot"
The arrival of colored man to succeed JEFF
Davis as Senator, and his being allowed \ seat
by courtesy, bis State not yet being read
mitted, is q most startling exemplification Of
The great revolution that has swept over the
country, putting the bottom rails on top and
the top rails at the bottom, changing customs,
tastes and principles. Bills to admit Missis-
sppi to representation were introduced in
both houses yesterday, the official records Of
the reorganization of the State are all on
hand, apd the Mississippi bill, with its colored
attachment, viii probably soon become one of
the exciting topics before Congress. win
Sumner, Drake and Company swallow the
colored man as readily as they insist on others
swallowing him?

DIsaRACEFUL AFFRAY IN KEY WEsT.-A
most disgraceful affray took place yesterday
in Key West, in which Gonzalo Castanon, the
editor Of Spanish paper published in
Havana, was killed and . number of others
injured. Judging from our report Of the affair
the killing of Senor Castanon was most cow
ardly act, and the Cubans who figured in the
riot are solely to blame for the outrage. They
went to the hotel, on the porch Of which Seiior
Castanon was standing, and commenced an
attack on him with firearms. He made the
best defence he could, but, overpowered by
numbers, he fell. While we cannot approve Of
the course of Castanon in visiting American
soil for the unlawful purpose of duelling, we
most emphaticalIy condemn the cowardly
manner of his assassination-for it is nothing
less. We also protest against this transfer of
riot and murder to our shores. It is to be
hoped that those who figured in this disgrace
full melee will have their full deserts meted out
to them.
The New York herald., 1870-02-01

TAKING THE BULL BIZ TIE HoESs.--A
committee Of the Democratic Union Organiza-
ton, headed by Robert B. Roosevelt, called
upon Governor Hoffman yesterday and
bluntly informed him that if the bill declaring
Henry Smith legally elected Supervisor
became a law their supporters would bolt the
regular democratic ticket next fall, and either
nominate an entire State ticket OIL support the
republicans. To this candid statement Gov
ernor Hoffman replied that he was opposed to
all special legislation, and would use his in
fuence to have the question 70 before the
courts, where it properly belongs. This
evidently means that the Governor will veto
the bill should it pass both houses OF the
Legislature. Thus the matter stands at pre-
sent. Altogether, the struggle between John
Foley and Henry Smith ID becoming M
teIssting.

MORE Court HoUsE.-It is proposed TO
build another Court House-and up in the
Twelfth ward, too. Why? Not because there
is enough law business waiting to ill all the
courts that could sit there, though there is-
Not because there is more crime on foot than
will ever be punished in the Court House we
have, though most certainly there is. Oh, NOT
for neither Of these reasons; but simply be-
cause the other Court House was such a
magnificent job-such q perfect Eldorado Of
plunder

TIE DARrEN EXPLORING EXPEDITION
whole civilized world win await with the live
liest interest the results of the explorations of
the United States Darien Isthmus Exploring
Expedition from this port. We are strongly
impressed, from the reports Of previous sur
veys, and moro especially from the report of
DR.. Cullen, that short and feasible route for
a ship canal, without lockages or tunnelling,
will be found, and if found there will be no
difficulty in raising funds for the work on the
canal, as it appears that number of Ameri-
can and French capitalists in Paris have organ
lied themselves into company for taking the
work at once in hand when practicable route
for canal is reported; and we shouldn't
wonder if the great Lesseps has finger in
the pie.

THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. In
our account recently Of the organization of the
Grand Army OF the Constitution ss a rival to
the Grand Army Of the Republic statement
was made rejecting somewhat on the latter
organization as political machine. We have
since been shown the constitution of the latter
organization, and discover that one of the
articles expressly forbids the discussion Of
politics in the society or the manipulation Of
the society for political purposes.

AN ARCTIC TRIP.-Our St. Paul (Minn.)
correspondent, under date Of January 90, gives
an interesting account of his experience among
the SHOWS Of the new nation of Winnipeg. His
report would rather discourage the ideas Of

done greater things in the arctic way by tho
annexation of Alaska.

Gas Bllis.

An indignant correspondent on gas says
that his bill for September was two dollars and
odd cents, for October six dollars, for Novem-
ber three dollars, and for December nine dol
lars, and he wants us to account for the differ
ence-the fact being that he burned the same
amount Of gas each month. II our CORES
pondent had read carefully the testimony
taken in different gas cases he would know
by this time that 1t is often the custom for the
gas men to guess at the amount that has been
burned, and from that he could of course
easily jump to the notion that they sometimes
guess very stupidity. We do not see that he
has much to complain Of, as there is fair
average of big bills and little bills. In the
early days Of omnibuses, when the fare was
paid in six cent bits, certain driver used
to arrange his accounts with the stage owner
on the most equitable principles. Thus, when
the trip was finished, he would go aside in the
stable and divide tho sixpences between his
hat and his overcoat pocket, with s'sixpence
for Sol Kip"-in the hat; ''sixpence for
alienation, through the whole number Of six
pences. Now, Sol Kip, who was once q sly
witness to this division, only found fault when
the driver gave himself an extra count on the
ground that the sixpence was bent and not
good enough to be given to Sol Kip. In the
same way we at first thought our correspon-
dent had some reason to find fault with the
December sum of nine dollars and forty-five
cents but upon inspecting tho matter more
closely we are Of q different opinion, and we
think our correspondent must admit that
the company has distributed the slices
Of fat and lean symmetrically and on
principle. Thus the main sum of his first bill
is two dollars that of the second is six.
The first sum is, therefore, multiplied by three.
The main sum of the third bill is three dollars
and Of the fourth nine-multiplcatiO by three
again. If he wants to know why the bill for
November was three dollars and that for Sep
tember two, we assure him that November has
the darkest days of the year. If he then
wants to know why November was only three
dollars, while October was six and December
nine, we shall warn him that if he asks so
many impertinent questions the company will
cut his gas off altogether.
