A GenerOus Offer.

In the present depressed condition of the
city's finances, it is consoling to the agents
of the corporation and that class of citizens
who sympathise with them in their troubles,
to know that at least one banking institution
has kindly proposed pecuniary assistance.
Animated by that generous spirit and high
sense of public duty which have ever char
scterised their dealings with their fellow
citizens, the officers of the " Coal Tar
Bank" have authorised the city authorities
to draw upon that substantial institution
to the extent of municipal cash lately gar
nisheed. In exchange for their notes, now
nearly at par with specie, the President
of the Coal Tar Bank and his worthy assO-
ciates express themselves as perfectly
willing to take the coupon bonds
of the city soon to be issued, with
out the addition of interest except for spe-
Gle required of the bank in making change
for the ordinary difference of values We
are not prepared to state directly the as
sets of the bank, or to what extent it may
be able to relieve the city, but feel assured
that the liberality and kindness shown by
the officers of the Goal Tar" on this oc-
casion will be most gratefully remembered
by the people of Nashville. The remark
that at the last quarterly statement of the
bank, its cash specie or specie capital did
not exceed $3.50, should not in the least
diminish our appreciation of its officers
preferred kindness to the city authorities.

big discussion took place in front of a
mercantile house on College street yester-
day upon the subject of matrimony, be-
tween two well known bachelors. The
argument was finally brought to close by
the eldest of the two, who of late is strongly
inclined to enter the matrimonial state,
provided he can get the consent of the
charming blue eyed beauty TO whom he has
been paying his attention. In the excite
ment of the subject under discussion be
exclaimed rather pathetically thuswise
'Matrimony is hot cakes, warm beds,
comfortable slippers, smoking coffee, red
lips, kind words, shirts Astounding in but
tons, redeemed stockings, boot jacks,
happiness, etc. Single blessedness is
sheet iron quilts, blue noses, frosty rooms,
ice in the pitcher, unregenerated linen,
heelless socks, coffee sweetened with lei

cry" If he will press his claim with so
much eloquence to his adored, he will GER

Heavy Chancery suit Decided.

ment 1ai
The colored population of Knoxville eel
| ebrated the ratification Of the Fifteenth
| Amendment on Wednesday last The
Press and Herald Of yesterday thus speaks
| of the affair: a,qr
Yesterday morning there was a hurrying
to and fro of little boys and girls, clad in
shivering costumes of white; of gallant
fremen in blaze of red and crimson uni
forms; of richly dressed marshals mounted
upon impetuous steeds, hired for the occa-
sion from the different livery stables, and
of hacks and carriages laden with the beau
ties of the race, to lend grace and dignity
to the occasion.
Under the direction Of marshals, the line
of procession was formed on Main street
and meandered around town. After
marching around for some hours, the pro-
cession returned to the courthouse, and
the various Populations and societies were
dismissed.
The brass band entertained the crowd
with several patriotic airs, and then the
vast assemblage crowded into the Court
house. Here, they we're called TO order
by DIR. b Young, the would be recon
structiOnist and arbitrator of the political
affairs of Tennessee. For three hours, the
crowd was entertained by speeches from
distinguished physicians, clergymen and
other shining lights of the down trodden
race, after which they quietly dispersed to
their several domiciles.
The triumphal car was profusely deco
rated with evergreens and flowers, each
occupant waving a small national flag.
The apparatus of the two fire companies
was elegantly adorned with wreaths and
banners, and flags were numerous in the
line of the procession, and as show, the
of it.

Horrible Case of seIf-MutiIatiom.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, April 21.-Capt. Ed.
Mcconnell, son of the late hurry McCon-
nell, who was mysteriously murdered at
Jacksonville last year, attempted the other
night to commit suicide while laboring
under delirium tremens. His friends had
kept watch over him, and his brother had
removed the cartridges from his revolver.
Mcconnell rose at night, seized revolver
and exploded all the caps, of course without
doing himself any injury.
He took penknife from his pocket and
slashed his forehead, face and neck in a
shocking manner, cutting several gashes
two or three inches in length and of con-
siderable depth, and leaving scarcely the
space of an inch that was not mutilated in
shocking manner.
He then descended to the kitchen and
obtained a sad-iron and beat his face and
head almost to jelly, and then returned
to his room, where he became unconscious
from the loss of blood, and remained until
discovered this morning. Although severe
ly injured. he is now doing well and will
doubtless recover. 1t is the intention of
his friends, as soon as he is sufficiently re-
covered, to place him in the inebriate aSy-

LIABILITY OF INSURANCE
COMPANIES.
4 Verdict in the United States Circuit
Court for Heavy Loss Sustained ut
Glasgow, MO, During Confederate
Occupation.
From the st. Louis Times, April 81,

Occupation.
From the st. Louis Times, April q.
A very interesting case was decided in
the United States Circuit Court yesterday,
which, if sustained, seriously affects the
liability of insurance companies. The
suit was brought by Elias r. Bar
ton, of Barton & Co., TO recover
from the Home Insurance Company of
New York the insurance held on lot of
hemp which was stored in Glasgow,
Mo-, during the war. On the 18th of
October, 1864, a warehouse, belonging to
B W Lewis, Esq, of Glasgow, was de-
strOyed by fire, and with it the hemp in
question. At the time of the confla-
grafton, the town was in the possession
of the Confederae troops under com
mand of General John b. Clark, and
the insurance company claimed that
according to the terms of the policy they
were not liable for any loss resulting
while the premises were in the possession
of any military or usurping power. The
testimony, while very conflicting, clearly
proved that at the time of the fire Con-
federate soldiers were in and around the
warehouse, and that declarations were
made by some of them to the effect that
''lheir boys had done it." Others, how
ever, claimed that some of the soldiers
denied having fired the warehouse, and in
sisted that it had accidentally caught from
their camp fires.
The court instructed the jury that if the
loss was occasioned, either directly or in
directly, by the Confedcrates, the plain
tiffs could not recover. Notwithstanding
this, the jury shortly returned with vcr-
dict for the plaintiffs for $l3, $50.

Old Landmark TO be Torn Down,

One half of the large warehouse on Col
lege street, known as Shields auction
house, has been torn down, and the State
Insurance Company have reared mag
nifcent building instead. The other hall
was recently purchased by Vessel & Son,
who intend to erect a magnificent three
story house for their business. Dolin,
Crawford d Co., the present occupants, will
remove on Monday, when the work of re-
construction will commence. This build
ing was put upin 1886 or 1887, by Matthew
Watson, and was first used as a cotton
house by Watson & Burke. 1t was after
wards occupied by West & Scott, prominent
merchants in the olden time, when it was
sold to the Rev. DR.. J. B. Lindsey, and by
the Lindsey heirs recently sold to the
above named parties.
