Isrought np for Safe KeepIng.

On the 25th of February last, George w.
Thomas, Of Humphreys county, was way
laid and murdered under circumstances of
a most fendish and atrocious character
he was married but few days before the
fatal occurrence, and it was not known that
he had an enemy, especially one VINO would
murder him. A man named John Vim
was arrested, tried and committed TO jail,
circumstances distinctly pointing 10 him as
the guilty party. Application to release
the accused on bond was refused, the Judge
TO whom it was made deciding that il was
not bailable case. As a precautionary
measure, VIM was yesterday brought
here and confined in jail TO await his trial

Returned,

With his host of friends we rejoice to
welcome to his home again our excellent
and popular friend, DR.. r. NJ. Lytle, of
Edgefeld, who has recently spent a few
weeks of rest and recreation from the du-
ties of his profession, in the Eastern cities.
We also feel gratified to learn that while in
Philadelphia, he received the degree of NJ.
d. in Homeopathy. This is a compliment
worthily bestowed, and is its own encomi-
UNI upon his talents and skill. He now
proposes to resume his professional career,
and we doubt not he will take position
among the foremost in that important and
scientific department, wherein so few be-
come eminent. He says, with all due de-
ference to the Allopathic fraternity, he
would modestly suggest the improperly of
a consultation with any of them, since they
do not understand this branch of his pro-
fession." We greet him most heartily, an
ticipating for him most useful and sue
cessful career. FRIENDS.

schooI Comn,issioners for NashviIIe

There has been considerable interest
manifested on the subject of School CON-
missioners for this district, composed of the
city of Nashville, at the ensuing election.
To all such we may say that none are to be
elected for this city On the adoption of
the Code, more than ten years ago, the
whole subject was confided to the Board of
Education of Nashville, and none have
been elected since. Section 1,04G of the
Code provides as follows:
''The Trustee of Davidson county shall
pay over the school money in his hands,
belonging to the district included in the
city of Nashville, according to its present
or any future boundaries, TO the written
order of the Treasurer Of the city, to be by
him credited to the school fund of the city,
and paid out to the written orders of the
Board of Education of the city, in favor OF
any teacher or other person for services &C
tually rendered in carrying out the system
of education established by the State or the
said city"
This section of the Code has been recog-
nized in all subsequent legislation, and is
still in full force. 1t viii appear that there
is no occasion for an election for Commits
sioners in Nashville, and there is no need
of further anxiety on the subject.

At the election on Saturday next two
separate ballot-boxes are required by the
act of the Legislature, and two separate
poll lists, one for the candidates and one
for New" or ''Old Constitution" The
judges will require each voter to be resi-
dent of the district where he votes. It is
of the highest importance that good clerks
be selected, and when necessary two sets
of clerks had better be appointed.

Another Result OF Careless Driving.
A few days since we noticed the fact
that little boy was ridden over on the
Corner of Church and High streets and
nearly killed We took occasion at the
time to refer to the ordinance preventing
fast and reckless riding and driving This
reference and admonition appearing to
have passed UNDECIDED, we respectfully
suggest to the authorities to see that it is
legally enforced The case of George w.
Seward, a deaf-mute over fifty years of age,
who was ran into by negro hackman as
he was crossing Cherry street in front Of
the Maxwell House is another case in
point. The old man was stranger, and
could neither speak nor hear. Dashing
forward at reckless speed, the tongue of
the negros hack strikes the spinal col
umn and almost breaks it in two. Pros
trated in the middle of the street, the I'M
fortunate man was conveyed to room,
and properly cared for, while the black
Jehu went whirling on with his hack.
Mr.. Seward was much better yesterday
though he is painfully hurt. Such reck-
lessness on our public thoroughfares, and
at the stree! crossings, depots etc, must
be stopped.
