trade has been able 10 purchase and import
goods at the lowest possible advance on
manufacturing cost and by their liberality
have furnished goods to the retail trade on
as favorable terms as can be had anywhere
else. The decline of gold at the present
time has been favorable to a reduction of
wholesale prices, and Gardner, Buckner d

Both their prices and their goods will
prove satisfactory and we cordially COM

Large EreigiltS,

The Nashville and Chattanooga depot
buildings are still packed with immense
quantities of freight of every description,
designed for points South of this. Every
effort is being made by the indefatigable
management of the road to clear the depot
of freights, but owing to the pressing de-
mand for shipments by accommodating
freights, it is difficult to catch up. 1t is
thought, however, that in a short time the
inconvenience of the blockade will be re-
moved, and that all freights and merchan-
disc can be promptly dispatched forward.

EKncIt Nuisonce-

While we admit that hacks and hackmen
are good and convenient institutions, we
protest against the practice of the persist
ent hackmen surrounding passengers male
and female, as they get out of the cars,
and virtually pulling them to pieces in
their rivalry TO secure their fare. An old
gentleman and lady were so vexatiously
annoyed in this way at enc of the depots
yesterday, that the private Waterman had
to interfere and procure them conveyance.
The following of persons as they go in and
out Of the hotels by eager hackmen, has
also gotten to be almost an insufferable
nuisance. We hope that the hackmen viii
bear this in mind and not be too offcious
in soliciting favors, as much as they may be
needed, and as highly as they are appreci-

a Big Hotel Proposition.

Pike, of opera house fame, is out with a
proposition for the erection of hotel and
opera house on Fountain, or Probasco
Square, in Cincinnati, to cost two and a
half million dollars and eclipse, in size and
magnifcence, any other structure of the
kind in the West lie makes this offer to
property holders:
IF each property holder would pay one
hundred dollars per foot for his lot of TWEEN
ty-fve by one hundred feet, within four
hundred feet Of the hotel and opera house,
and thirty dollars per front foot for all with
in an additional eight hundred feet, and ten
dollars for all within an additional sixteen
hundred feet, the improvement will be
made This would seem an extraordinary
proposition for me to make, and don't
think it will be accepted. Now, what
would be the result of such an improve
ment? Those who paid one hundred dol
lars per foot would realize five hundred dol
lars and thirty dollars would enhance to
one hundred dollars, and ten dollars to
twenty-five dollars. What would be a
temporary loss to them would eventually
be their gain"

Probable Failure of thc Effort TO
Removs. NKr. Hopkins.

Removs. Nkr. Hopkins.
For the past few days the most frequent
question of local interest hiss related to the
effort being made at Washington for the
removal of Postmaster Hopkins. When it
was announced few days ago that the
Senate in Executive session had by
majority of one voted against confirming
the nomination Of Mr. Hopkins, the oppo-
nents of the present incumbent seemed to
regard the point as settled in favor of some
other aspirant for postal honors. Bat the
adherents of MIR. H., who were advised
that Senatorial friends OF his who were at
the time absent attending tea party IN
New Hampshire or elsewhere, would Tx
things" when they returned to Washing
ington, did not despair or allow their hopes
to be smothered in the grim ashes of des-
pondency. In the midst of darkness and
adverse tidings they hoped and prayed for
brighter skies and better fortune. This
opposition to and advocacy of the present
Postmaster have been confined mainly to
the Radical party, and proceed from slight
misunderstanding or split which occurred
in that fraternity shortly previous to the
recent Gubernatorial contest in Tennessee
The action of Mr.. Hopkins on that occa-
sion gave offense to some of his former
political associates and was approved by
others. Hence the present movements for
and against his being continued in Office,
| with neither of which our citizens, not OF
| the Radical faith, have had anything to do.
| So far as we know. Mr.. Hopkins has given
| general satisfaction In the performance OF
bis official duties, and we hear no COM
plants urged against him by those outside
Of his own political church. His friends,
who have steadily hoped that he would
come out ''uppermost in the fight, are
gratifed over the contents of the following
dispatch, and appear to have little, if any,
doubt of his final confirmation:
| WASHINGTON, March ia motion was
entered in the executive session of the
Senate yesterday to reconsider the vote by
which Mr.. Hopkins nomination to the
Nashville Postoffice was rejected, and an
other effort will be made to confirm him
Mr.. Hopkins is now in Washington, bu
is expected to return in few days.

An Institution.

A good Touring mill is an institution
anywhere, and decidedly a convenient
thing to have in the neighborhood, and
particularly in the county, it cannot be
too highly appreciated. One of the best
mills to be found anywhere throughout the
country is that of James T. Gleaves, ST.,
in the fourth district or this county. The
flour turned out at this establishment is of
the very best quality, and has the brand of
Hermitage xxx. 1t is literally patron
lied by the entire community in that sec
ton, and the proprietor, who is one of the
cleverest men in this or any other State, is
doing a big business. Long may he wave,
and may his enterprise continue to flourish.

LOUISVILLE, March II, 1s70.-There
was slight improvement in the live
stock market to-day, owing to the light
supply. There were less than 200 head Of
cattle on the market to-day, and they were
mostly common and interior in quality.
mixed Up with few choice, which were
readily taken by butchers, and few heavy
were bought by shippers. There viii be
but little change in the market as long as
there is such distrust among thu com
mercial world. This is brought about by
the rapid decline in gold, which has caused
the hog product to decline in proportion,
and for these reasons the butchers need
but few cattle to supply their customers, as
most all classes at this season of the wear
are using the hog product, which rules very
low. The season of Lent is now at its
