it requires such good guessing to hit right
once in thousand times but we will stake
our reputation, as one of those, ON the as
sertion, that if the investigation falls
through from fear or any cause, the few
Republicans in this Assembly will have
a fine text to preach from the remainder of
the session, and in the next canvass the
stump orators need not cudgel their brains
for matter to attack these Solons. But let
them stick to this text, and the present
Conservative, Democratic, hybrid crew
will pass into the shortest kind of history.

Capitol feel the press of their august feet /;
no more will the corridors and arches re-

EAST TENNESSEE UNIVERSITY.
The bill to take the fund from this insti-
tuition has passed the House, third read
ing and now gocs to the Senate, where
many think it will be killed. James, in
the House, made a gallant fight against
the vile measure, but the intense sectional
ism that prevails furnished the requisite
vote to pass the bill. If it does pass the
Senate, it will furnish another oyster for
the lawyers, for we are much mistaken if
the managers will yield it without strug-
gle. 1t is believed here that in the Courts
the State will be beaten.
A LARGE EXCURSION PARTY.
This evening, a long train over the Nash
vile and Chattanooga Railroad brought
about fifteen hundred colored people from
Georgia, who visit Nashville for pleas
ure and curiosity. They have been pro-
vided with comfortable quarters, and are
the guests of all colored citizens, who spare
no pains to make their stay pleasant.
FOURTH OF JULY
Is upon Us. Stacey, of the hotel on Church
street, has decorated the entire front of his
house with flags, notices and inscriptions,
all in good taste and fine style. The hotel
presents Il beautiful appearance, and the
patriotic are feasting eyes and heart by
gazing on the "Old Flag" 1t is not eX-
pected that there will be IA general display
on the day, though the German and Irish
citizens will celebrate with procession
and speeches. The native American ele-
ment will look on. So we go!

THE GREAT BRIDGE.

Tresiiing for the Last Span of the Ohio
bridge In PIace-Tse Work to be Completed
In n Few Days.
The Louisville Journal of Jan. IA has the
following:-
The great bridge across the Ohio at this point
has been nearly three years in course of con-
str9ction, the first work on 1t having been done
early In 1867. That work of such magnitude
should have been completed in so short time is
tribute TO the energy of the Bridge Company,
the skill OF the engineer in charge, and the per-
severance of the contractors and supervisors.
When 1t is called to mind that the distance be-
tween the abutment on this side and the other
on the Indiana shore is $3.50 feet or exactly one
mile; that 1t consists of 10 spans, averaging
nearly 240 feet each, and two great ones of 400
feet each; that II crosses both the river and the
Portland Canal, requiring over the latter an
immense draw; that the work of building the
piers has been interrupted by the spring and fall
freshets Of two years, and the ice-foods of two
mind, the reader will begin to have some idea
OF the stupendous character of the under
taking.
A very few days longer will see the enterprise
completed. Yesterday the workmen succeeded
in putting up all the trestling necessary on span
10, the only one not yet finished, and the IRON
work, being all ready, will be put in place i'm
mediately.
Nothing can now interfere with the speedv
completion of this span, so far as human fore
sight can calculate. The upper Ohio ia full
of floating Ice, but by the time 1t arrives at this
point it viii not be dangerous; or, If it should
be, the iron work will have SO far progressed as
90 be out of the reach of harm.
And now comes up the question, shall the
completion of this great work be passed over In
silence? louisville is proverbially modest; she
does not make a business of boasting over her
successes. Any other city would do 1t. Cincin-
natl, did she possess such monument of her
energy, liberaiity and far-reaching enterprise,
would get up grand glorlfcation and invite all
the world and the rest of mankind 10 join her
people in Inscriptions of praise and glory and
honor. Chicago would do the same-so would
st. L0uis-so would Philadelphla-so would
New York. Everybody has read the gorgeously
the talk OF all the world, the grand Imperial
celebration of the completion Of the Suez Canal.
No doubt that is glorious wOrk-glorious In

The accused is machinist, and was formerly

he was sentenced to the State Prison for three

A Washington despatch says:-
"The delay In the Senate Committee on For
eign Relations In acting on the nomination of
General Sickles MS Minister to Madrid excites
were led to believe that Il would be called up
and acted upon soon after the opening of the
session. 1t appears that Senator Sumner has
never brought the nomination before his COM
mittee for actien, and It Is now said that he has
given an ear to the numerous slanderous reports
about Sicklee, as well as to some charges made
against his official conduct In Madrid. 1t was
mainly on account of the latter that the COM
mittee, or rather its chairman, asked the Secre-
tary of State to furnish him with q copy of the
correspondence between Sickles and the Depart
ment of State, and also between Sickles and the
Spanish Minister for Foreign Affairs. Some of
Sickles' friends In the Senate propose to make
inquiry In executive session as to Summers rea-
SON for holding back siclles' nomination. The
latters friends are quite numerous in the Senate,
and some of them being thoroughly familiar
with the nature OF the charges against him, are
prepared to meet and refute them"
