Test; GEORGE r. PACE, Secretary.
IN MEMORIAM.
The shadows Of another grave project them
selves across our pathway, and recalling sweet
memories Of the past, incite to preparation for
reunion with the sfloved and lost" in a better
land, where parting is unknown forever.
The dews OF autumn water In distant ceme-
terry, the last resting-place Of a beloved compan-
ion, whose once familiar form can never be alb
sent from our hearts. Language is impotent 10
express the emotion with which, in this Chapter
and this community, the announcement Of the
death of the Rev. THOMAS YERSER MOORE, ID.
D., was received, and we do not propose to at
tempr the impracticable task. EuIogy wouid be
fulsome in a community where q life OF more
than twenty years had been faithfully spent as
an ambassador for Christ, praying US In Christs
stead as though God did beseech us, to be recon-
ciled to him. Ii sufices TO record our testimony
that the lesson of his life, and. We regard IL,
the monltion of his dea.h, was to follow him as
he followed Jesus.
1t Is due 20 ourselves 70 record the fact tha.
our revered and lamented brother was exalt-
ed in this Chapter On tine 18th day of March,
1885, and ever after, during his residence IN
this city, was jealous and earnest In his devo-
ton TO she interests and honor of the Order Al
the tine of his removal to the city Of Nashville,
he was the Chaplain OF this Chapter, and his
honored name continued upon our roll of mem
bership up to the day of his death. No official
action is necessary to keep green in the hearts OF
any who know him the memory of such as be
was. But, in faint expression OF our own feel
ings,
Be it Resolved, That memorial page OF oar
records be dedicated to the memory of our la
mented and beloved companion Rev. THOMAS
WERNER MOORE, D. D., who departed this life
in the city of Nashville, Tennessee, on the 9Th
day Of August last, and that this minute be pub
lished in the papers Of the cities ~ Richmond,
Va and Nashville, Tenn.

UNITED STATES CIRCUIT CoURT.-
In the case of Tilinghast and Dufield VS..
Outlaw no final decision was made, though
the case was argued very deliberately by the
counsel, and the court postponed the cause,
which was petition to set aside judgment
for future argument, stating that, although
payment in Confederate money, by way OF
liquidating a debt during the war, as be-
tween debtor and creditor, both being par
ties resident at the time in the rebellious
States might, might be valid payment OF
be taken pro td1lto, yet Confederate money
paid by the agent of party, the debtor, resi-
dent North to party, the creditor, residing
in the Confederate States, was not a legal
payment; the court, inasmuch as the case
came within the purview of the above prin-
eiple, was inclined to the opinion that the
deceased partner, or his personal representa-
tive, as one of the debtors in the original
judgment, to set aside which the petition
now before the court had been filed, was a
necessary party in proceedings to set aside
said judgment.

A Little More Advertising wanted.

1t is to be hoped that the business of
Nashville viii not be judged by the adver-
Using that appears in the columns Of the
newspapers. At no former period in the
history Of our city have we known such a
lack of advertising as at present. The
country merchant purchasing his dry goods,
boots and shoes, groceries, hardware, etc,
in this city, can get no information respect
ING the names of houses, or the arrival of
new goods through the medium of the press.
The papers circulate thousands of copies
now, to hundreds before the war, and yet
with all the advantages offered by news
paper enterprise, there is but little DISPOSE
ton on the part of the business public to
sustain them. Look through the columns
of the newspapers of Nashville, and count
the number of advertisements that belong le-
ultimately to Nashville, See how many whole
sale grocery firms are helping to aid in build
ing up first-class newspapers. Look what
encouragement is given the press by her
wholesale dry goods, boot and shoe, hard
ware and other merchants in Che iObbing
trade, and let it no longer be a matter of
wonder that business is so duh here. It is
a little astonishing that there is any trade
at all, and If it was not TO. the indomitable
will and enterprise of the very few that ap-
preciate the value of printers ink, and the
newspapers themselves in devoting time and
attention to full reports of the market. the
people accustomed to trading here would
soon forget that there was such a place as
Nashville,

Last Sunday morning about two o'clock
Mrs. S. J. Little heard some one moving
the window frame in the parlor of her
residence, No. p North Vine street, and
Immediately awoke her husband. By this
time the folding doors connecting the par
lor and sleeping room were opened by an
unknown person with a light in his hand,
who instantly broke for the outer door and
made his escape. The nocturnal intruder
appeared to be a guest rather heavy set and
about fifteen or sixteen years of
age. Mr.. Little made an exalni-
nation of his parlor and found things
considerably tumbled about. the windows
were down, though nothing had been taken
away The hall and front doors were open,
which having been locked from the inside
showed that the burglar had entered
through the window into the parlor and
made all necessary arrangements TO fariIi-
tate his exit by unlocking and leaving the
doors open. Although the gas i'm front of
the house was lit yet nothing was seen of
the thief or thieves by Mr.. Little when he
reached the door,

Rev. MIR. Wbitsett.

In paragraph in our last paper, in relation
to Rev. w. II. Whitsett, the types made us
say what We did not write, or rather, what
we did write was left out. The young gen
tleman whose scholarly attainments we
mentioned, was Chaplain in the Confeder-
ate army, student in the University of
Virginia, after which he attended a course
in the Theological Seminary at Greenville,
S. c. Subsequently he went to Europe and
took theological lectures in the Universities
of Leipsic and Berlin. He is a gentleman
who bids fair to win great reputation in
the pulpit. Born and raised in this vicinity,
many of our citizens feel an interest in his
future welfare. Mr.. w. goes to Virginia
this week, and will visit Lynchburg next
week. He is a religious correspondent of
the Western Recorder, the Baptist paper of
Kentucky.

Robbery ON Vine Street.

On Saturday night last raid was made
on the kitchen, storeroom and stable of DR..
J. W. Maddin, whose residence is on Vine
street, near Union. The larder was COM
pletely emptied by the burglars, who even
went so far as to take off what was in readi-
ness for Sunday mornings breakfast.
Breaking open the stable, the horse and
saddle were taken of, but the rascals were
evidently afraid to keep the animal in their
possession, as both horse and saddle were
found the next morning on the street.

Give the peonIeLtrht.

Saturday morning last, a gentleman called
into our office, and said he wanted five cents
worth of the UNION AND AMERICAN. We
furnished him the paper, which he looked
over intently for some time, and folding it
up with look of disappointment, said, 81
am looking for an advertisement of South
Market street cotton house, that l was con-
fident l would find here; but strange to say,
l don't see it. Will you tell me their loca-
tion?" The information was given, and he
went his way. Business men of Nashville;
look to your interest and keep your names
before the public through the newspapers.

The Arrest of TrayIor and Brown.

1t having been intimated by the Muir
freesboro Meas that the late arrest of two
murderers in Rutherford county by police
officers Watson, McAllister and CrOsswait,
Of this city, was effected through an under
standing between the accused and the off
GERS, the latter agreeing to make with the
former a division of the rewards, the officers
mentioned assure us that the insinuatiOn is
wholly without foundation in truth. They
positively assert that they never
either directly or indirectly made any prom
ises to, or agreement with, the parties ar
rested, and in apprehending them acted
wholly upon information gained through
other sources. They say that in this mat
ter they desire nothing more than is justly
due them-they ask no more and will be
satisfied with no less.

morning a fire broke out in the house re-
Gently purchased4n Chancery by S. o. w.
Brandon, corner of Main and Sixth streets,
GAINESVILLE, and before it could be extin-
guished was consumed. There was an
insurance policy of $1,000 in the Etna
Company, and while there is no certainty
as to the origin of the fire it is thought it
was most probably set fire by an incen-
diary. AT the time of the fire it was occu-
pied by negroes.

A Burglar Surprised

On Sunday night last about half past 10
o'clock, some of the young men connected
with the house of ManlOve, Richards &
MeadOrs, on the south side of the Public
Square, had occasion to open the back door
which leads TO an alley alongside of the
First National Bank, and discovered some
person entering the second story window
above their heads. As soon as the burglar
saw the door opened, he jumped to the ad-
joining yard in the rear of the clothing
house of j. A. j. Rose. The young men
endeayored to head him off, but he made
his escape by stairway leading to the Pub

Yesterday while workmen were tearing
down the old shanty adjoining the liquor
establishment of McCrea, Murray & Co,
on South Summer street, a water pipe burst,
and for some time continued to spout its
contents, causing a large number Of persons
to gather on the spot, many believing ter
rible accident had happened. Several were
observed making railroad time to the scene
of the supposed catastrophe and were no
little chagrined to discover the trifing cause
of the assembly.

candidate.
Col. a. G. Cooper is now at his post in
the Senate, and we rejoice to believe that
no member of that body will syupass him
in those sterling traits and qualifications
that make up the faithful and efficient pub
lie servant. We have known Col. Cooper
from his earliest boybood, and have always
admired the straightforward and efficient
manner in which he has discharged all his
public duties, while he has retained a char
acter in private life unsullied by the least
suspicion. He viii make an able, wise and
conscientious Senator, for he is acquainted
with the practical industries of the country
and knows the wants and desires Of the
great mass Of the people.
