Disputing the

Disputing the Wisdom of Solomon.
New York, May 19.-An interesting and
somewhat excited discussion was had in
the Board of Education yesterday over the
question of restoring corporal punishment
IN the public schools. Arguments for and
against fagellation were put forth in vivid
language by the partisans of either side.
The matter was finally referred to a special
committee, with instructions to report
some plan of correction that shall meet
the views of al parties In the Board.
The Methodist Book Concern.
1t is now certain that the Rev. DR.. Lam
nahan. Jr, agent of the Methodist Book
Concern, of this city, will be brought TO
trial before the church authorities for max
ing allegations injurious to the reputation
of his brethren and the credit of the PIb
fishing House, which allegations he was
unable 10 substantiate before the investi-
eating committee. 1t is said that the
charges have been already drawn up and
the committee summoned TO appear. The
trial will be held before the same commit
fee which carried on the white washing, So
called, investigation into the affairs of the
n,,ncern; so the result would be pretty well
settled beforehand, but for the fact that, in
fbis case, the deliberations will be presided
over by the Bishops, the presence of not
Less than two being required; therefore, it
is reasonable to suppose the trial will be in
some degree Influenced 10y some slight re
gard for equity and justice.

The Claiborne Chapel Sabbath school
went "a Maying" and picnicking on yester-
day and had a merry gOnial time generally.
They went out to DIR. Hadleys on Mill
Greek three miles from the city. The
place selected was beautiful one, and all
the surroundings looked as though nature
had prepared them with special reference
to such purposes. There were $50 persons
present. The managers of the rare dinner
did great credit to themselves and contri-
buted largely to the enjOyments of the day.
Mrs. Col Claiborne, Mrs. Starns, Mrs.
Moore, Mrs Fletcher, Mrs. Baugh and
others figured successfully in promoting
the success of the occasion. 1t was con-
sidered by many in attendance as one Of
the most agreeable and enjoyable picnics
of the season.

Second Day.

Yesterday, the second day of the exhi
bition of the Horticultural Fair at Masonic
Temple was one Of increased interest over
the preceding day. Many valuable and
elegant contributions to the floral and
vegetable displays were made yesterday
morning and during the day. Among
them We note the beautiful table of Miss
Ingraham, which embraces a rare variety
| Of flowers Of exquisite taste. The beautiful
| marble cross in the centre is especially
attractive. There are also two large water
lilies in wax by Mrs. HEAVIER, and an eie-
CANT wax boquet by Miss Ingraham. The
pyramidal boquets Of Mrs. Talcott, are mag.
nifcent and wrought with the most ad-
mirable taste and skill. The large and rare
display Of cut flowers by Messrs. HEAVIER,
Garland and p L. Nichol, we have never
seen surpassed. We observed a profuse
variety Of gooseberries and currants by
Messrs- Croker and White. The variety
Of straVberries was very large and luscious
last night they and some elegant pelago-
mans were the contributions of DIR. Cat
finger, Mr. HEAVIER and Mrs Overton. The
large dish Of cut flowers by Mrs. J. W.
Hamilton was resplendently beautiful, as
was also the cross Of roses by Miss HEAVIER.
The boquet of wax flowers by Mrs. Van
Leer was exquisite in the skill and natural
ness it exhibited A feature of the ewes
ing was stand Of wines and mineral wa
ter by DR.. Morton. Mr.. HEAVIER contrib
uted delicately wrought wren's nest filed
with eggs IN a basket. There we're various
other attractions too numerous to mention
in additions to those already enumerated.
The attendance last night was large and
brilliant. The fashion and elite of the city
were present; the radiant and smiling faces
and handsome toilettes of the ladies taking
the palm Of beauty and loneliness from the
roses and lilies around them. II was one
of the most enjoyable and agreeable even
ings we have witnessed in the city for
some time. All were pleased and
delighted, and the expression was
universal that the exhibition sur
passed anything of the kind ever before
seen in Nashville, and eould not be sur
passed in elegance and variety anywhere.
We cannot conceive a place that could
afford more genuine and instructive enter
tainment than this. Youth and beauty, |
cultivation and refinement, age and expert |
ence, walking and chatting among islands |
of blossoms and ripping fountains, in the |
mellow light of pendant chandeliers, to the |
notes of delicious music. What could be |
imagined more beautiful and agreeable? |
Let everybody go to-day, and they will |
agree with us that the enjoyments afforded |
are of the very highest order.

IMMIGRATION.
The Walker observation-disclosures ug-
gested-What One Enterprising
Man is Doing
To the Editors of the Union and American:

To the Editors of the Union and American;
have read with great deal of interest
the bill of Mr.. Walker, proposing to
''create an Office, to be kept at the city of
Nashville, to be known as the lmmigrs-
ton State Office"
There is no doubt but that this bill will
be looked upon by both the people of the
North and European immigrants, as q
manifestation of the sincere desire of the
people of Tennessee, to promote, in a
manner most effectual, the immigration
of an industrious population into this
noble but still Frustrated State. Man is
never callous to an honest call for help,
and when, as in the present case, the in
vited people arc offered such advantages
as the State of Tennessee is able to pre-
sent to immigrants, self interest and SYM
pathy will combine to secure favorable
response. Even the poor deluded Butler
Radicals of the North, perceiving that
these terrible Ku- Klux extend such a
hearty welcome to tie people abroad, will
now, / hope abate their silly fears and
begin to contemplate the beauties of q
plantation in Tennessee.
The Walker bill is pretty comprehen-
sive in enumerating and fixing the duties
of the Immigration State officer. Said
officer must, indeed, be man of great
practical knowledge, penetrating intelli-
gence, considerable power of combination
and comparison, patient, methodical spirit

HonIiIY on Erie.

LONDON, May 19.-The 1tmGs of this
morning has remarkably bitter editorial
on the alleged Encouragement of Erie af-
fairs. 1t asserts that the standard of COM
mercial morality is lower in the city OF
New York than anywhere else in the
world. Acts which here in England would
be deemed crimes, are there regarded as
masterpieces of fnanc ering. 1t cautions the
American people to purge themselves Of
this reproach, though it will be task
equal in difficulty to the abolition Of
slavery.

NASHVILLE, May 10, 1S7O.-DEAR Sir
learn that postponement Of the County
Convention, called for Saturday, 21st inst,
has been announced by one of the city pa
pers TO Monday, the sd May.
Feeling confident that this arrangement
is unfortunate, and cannot secure q full
attendance of the delegates from the coun-
try districts, write to suggest the propri-
ely OF postponing the meeting till Satur-
day, the 28th, or even a week later-say
Saturday, the 4th of June-as this arrange
ment would give time for all the delegates
to be duly notified, and govern themselves
accordingly. 100.
1 am quite certain that Saturday is the
most suitable day in the week to secure a
full attendance and promote the harmony
of the Conservative party.
What say the parties interested? A re-
Spouse is respectfully asked for.
