generally discredited here. 1t is consid
cred that the statement that Bavaria and
Baden renounce any claim for the en-
largement of territory proves its falsity.
1t is stated that the Crown diamonds
lodged by the Empress in the Bank of
France are of paste and that the real ones
were sold long since through an American
dentist named Evans and the money con-
verted to the use of the Imperial family.
Bismarck's Reply to jules Favre-

LONDON, Sept. 16.--It is reported that
the Foreign Office has Bismarck's reply
to the demand of Jules Favre for an ar
mistice. Bismarck says there are ques-
tions yet to be settled with France before
a suspension of hostilities is possible.
The Examiner urges that a cordial sup
port be given the French Republican
Government. $40
The Prussian attack on Paris will be
directed at first against Vincennes, and a
large body of Parisian troops will con-
front them there.
The Peuple Francois says none of the
foreign powers have offered to interfere
in favor of France, and no such offers
will be accepted.

CONGRESSIONAL.
The Fifth District.

The people of the Fifth district are
now called upon to make choice of can
didate to represent them in Congress. 1t
is important to them to make the selec-
ton and not to leave it to a few interest
ed politicians. Free institutions are a
mockery unless the people exercise their
will in selecting their candidate If a
few men choose the candidate to be voted
for, of what use is the great right of
franchise 1t is mockery.
The great object now is to give some
impetus to the progress of the material
interests of the State. Some man con-
versant with these interests, identified
with them and competent to advance them
should be selected. The railroad, the
manufacturing and the mechanical in
terests need and should have represen-
tative. He should also be man known to
these great interests and their representa-
tives throughout the country, and trusted
by them on account of his ability and
success in his pursuits. He should be
known and trusted by the leading men in
Congress.
The people have IN their midst man
of large experience, of great success in
everything he has touched, and fully alive
to all these interests. He is at the same
time well known and favorably, to the
financial men of the North and East as he
is to the leading men in Congress. He is
also endowed with a comprehensive un-
derstanding of the wants of the people
here, and is sincerely and earnestly inter-
ested in the advancement of the public
good.
Of all the men whose names have been
mentioned in connection with this office
none bears any comparison to that of
Michael Burns in its capacity to serve
the great interests of this people in the
coming Congress. He would be at once
acceptable to the mass of that body, and
enter without predjudice upon the dis
charge of the great duties that would de-
Volve upon him. ONE VINO Knows.

KINGSTON SPRINGS, Sept IA, 1870
The Democratic Conservative County
Convention held at Ashland City on the
first Monday in this month, conferred
upon me the hOnOr-which will ever
be remembered by me with the
kindest feelings towards the people of
Cheatham county, of the unanimous re-
c1mmeudation, as the choice of said county
to represent the flOateral district, COM
posed of the counties of Davidson, RO-
berison, Montgomery, and Cheatham, in
the next Legislature. As the convention
for the tlOa'eral district is to be held at
Springfield, Robertson county, on the
29lh inst, and as | do not desire my
action to hinder CT delay the choice of
some one who can do the great cause of
Democracy more good than l could prob
ably do, l deem it just for the people of
Z the district to know what | desire TO do
= or what they are to do in regard TO the
nomination, aud do assure item that no
pecuuiary consideration would prevent
me from serving my friends and country
in any honorable way that they may de-
sire. Aud | very much regret that my
feeble health alone cOmpels me to decline
the use of my name before the Oonven-
tion.
To my many friends throughout the
district, for their kind assurances of sup
mort, | return my most grateful acknowl-
cdgments. JAMES NJ. DUNN.

see every quarter of Paris, one after tht
other, blown to atoms, the enemy, corp
after corps, battalion after battalion, il
the same graves with my resolute fellow
citizens.
As he uttered these sentiments in elo
quent Thrilling language in voice ol
measured gravity, l looked at the faces o.
of the ladies at the table. They wer'
grave and solemn, but serene, and haC
not the faintest trace of dread of such 4
fearful catastrophe.
In that way, said Victor Hugo, Paril
must Perish. While the spectacle may
horrify the world, it will be followed by
the resurrection of the Democracy OF
France aud Germany, who will avenge
the terrible catastrophe.
This is only specimen of the spirit
prevailing here.
The hosting of red flag at Lyons in
defiance of the government creates pain
and uneasiness. Severe measures will be
taken against the offenders. The names
of editors who left Paris, are to be pub
lished. The workmen of the city form
sixty-six battalions, comprising so, 600
men. They are among the most resolute
defenders of the city and are determined
on war of determination.
Visitors of Paris will remember Colte's
restaurant on the car of Rue Riot and Rue
st. Hanover. AS l left the Place de la
Concorde, a crowd was looking at the
closed shutters of the restaurant on which
was written, in large letters in chalk,
"Closed in consequence of robbery.
Forty centimes, eight sous, for a small
loaf worth two sous; one franc, seventy
sentimes for book beer. Justice has been
done. Closed by order of the sovereign
people till the end of the war"

Resignation of DR.. skinner,

! The Rev. DR.. Skinner, pastor of the
/ First Baptist Church of Nashville, Tenn,
has resigned his charge. In accepting the
! resignation, the church unanimously voted
| the adoption of the following resolutions :
| Whereas, Our esteemed pastor, Rev.
| Thomas E. Skinner, D. D., has rendered
his resignation, and has also avowed his
! fixed purpose to terminate his connection
with this church as its pastor, therefore,
! Resolved, That the resignation of DIR.
| Skinner be accepted, to take effect at the
time which he has indicated, viz 1st of
November.
Resolved. That while we sincerely re-
gret the causes which have led him to take
this step, we desire to bear testimony to
the distinguished ability, and truly chris
| tian fidelity with which he has discharged
the manifold duties of minister of Christ
and church pastor, froEa the time of his
coming among US until this day..
Resolved, That we recognize in DR..
Skinner the qualities and qualifications SO
| justly deemed prerequisite to q successful
preacher of righteousness -piety, natural
! gifts, knowledge and skill. These, we
think, he possesses in a very eminent de-
gree. By earnestness of purpose, patient
and untiring labor in the investigation of
| Scriptural teaching, and the presentation
of Gospel truth in fresh and attractive
forms, DR.. Skinner rivets attention, and
enriohes the minds of hearers He has,
withal, broad, catholic spirit of chris
tiaR charity; competent to recognize the
good under all forms, and everywhere, yet
rarely fails to discriminate between truth
and error. As a man, a brother, servant
of the Living God he must command the
respect and admiration, not only of our
denomination but of Gods people else
where.
Resolved, That in parting with our be-
loved brother and pastor, we will not only
remember him who has spoken unto us
the word of God" but will follow him
with strong desires and earnest prayers
that his life and health may be long pre-
served that the richest blessings of the
Lord may be with him, and upon bis future
labOrs, and that be, and they to whom he
has so faithfully and affectionately spoken
the word, may be more than conquerors
through Him that loved us.
