PostpOnement of the Elections.
VERSAILLES, Feb. 5.-The following is
official:
The duality of the French government
will apparently lead the administration at
Bordeaux to a non-observance of the con-
vention entered into by the German au-
thorities at Paris. The convention only
looked to negotiations for a free assem-
bly,, and an sbnormally constituted body
under the dictation of Gambetta is not
entitled to such title. Favre informed
Bismarck that he win rescind the DEGREES
issued by Gambetta. Confusion is, how
ever, probable, only removable by an adj
journment of the elections.
Gambetta's Paltry Pageant.
BORDEAUX, Feb. 6.-The demonstra-
ton oday in favor of the Bordeaux gov
ernment's decree disqualifying Office
holders under the empire, from election
to the National Assembly, was of quite
an unimportant character. The process
sion consisted of about 700 persons
headed by Garabaldian colonel named
Middleton. The rest of the crowd in
the streets were spectators. The Project
of Bordeaux received thedeputation, and
Gambetta being engrossed BY public du-
ties, the Project read the following dec
laration from Gambetta in behalf of the
Bordeaux delegation: "Faithful 10 the

Correspondence of the Union and American.
SPRINGFIELD, Tenn, Feb. 6, ISL
The February term of our Circuit Court
commenced this morning, Judge King Of
the Montgomery Criminal Court, pre-
siding, and an unusually large number of
the farmers of the county in attendance.
The large attendance was mainly the re
suit of a previous announcement that Col.
]. B. Killebrew, of the UNION AND AMRRI-
GAN, would address the people on the sub
ject of agriculture.
At II o'clotk his Honor adjourned
court for the day to give Col. Killebrew
an opportunity to address the people, and
the people an opportunity TO organize a
farmers club.
After being introduced by Judge King,
Col. Killebrew proceeded to demons rate
most forcibly the importance of the farm
ing interest, and of united effort in the
development Of the resources of the
county. His speech was not only grand
display of learning, but was full of in
formation of the highest interest and lm-
portance to the farmer, and was listened
to with great attention by the large crowd
present.
The matter of forming farmers cub
was taken in hand by the Agricultural
and Mechanical Association of Robertson
County, and doubtless will be fully per-
fected in q short time. A.

DEATH OF DIR. w. W. BURRErT

He Drops Dead i'm His Buggy Last
Night Within 200 Yards Of His
HOme-COrOner,s Inquest Held
Verdict Returned that He Died OF
Heart Disease.
The citizens of South Nashville were
shocked last night by the report that Dr.
W. NJ Burdett, residing on Cherry street,
near Mulberry, had been found dead III
his buggy. In fact, this much was about
all that could be ascertained on the street,
and we accordingly repaired to his resi-
denee about o'clock last night, when we
CLEANED the following facts relative to the
sad occurrence:
About o'clock the Doctor Aad gone out
in his buggy for the purpose of making
some pr Jfessional calls in that section Of
the city, being in his usual health and in
his ordinary good spirits. It seems he had
completed his professional round, having
last visited a patient at Mr.. Wells, near
the City Cemetery, about six o'clock, and
had started home along Cherry street
Shortly after this time, Just after dark, his
buggy came up in front Of his office and
residence, which comes out even with the
sidewalk, and members of his family
saw it come up and stop. Think
ing, of course, that the Doctor
would be in in a moment, no notice was
taken of it, as it was of so frequent oc-
eurrence, and it was not for several
minutes that they thought anything strange
Of his not coming in Finally, however.
they wondered at his tarrying outside so
long, and his little son went out to the
buggy, where he found his father lying
back across the seat, dead. The fact was
soon spread among the neighbors IN the
immediate vicinity, and several persons
we're quickly on the spot, when the report
was found to be too true-Dr. Burdett was
dead. His body was carried into the
house, when word Was sent TO 'squires
Wilkinson and Paul of the sad occurrence,
when they came and took Temporary
charge of the remains. Coroner Brien was
notified. who Immediately empannelled
Jury and repaired to the scene where an
inquest was held, resulting in a verdict
that the deceased came to his death by
heart disease. His hat was found on the
street about 200 yards above his home, on
Cherry street, and it is supposed that
where it was found was the spot where the
final struggle took place. DR.. BuIdett
was about As years of age; he was born
and raised in the vicinity OF Pulaski, and
had been a practicing physician IN this city
about six years; he leaves wife and two
chiIdTen--two sons aged about nine and
eleven, respectively was universally
esteemed IS good man and neigh Dor, an
excellent physician, kind father and de
voted husband. His family were almost
overcome by the shock, and their great
grief was such as to move the most stony
heart until its possessor could weep with
them. We understood he had policy or
his life of $40, 600, and that he was a mem

CINCINNATI.
PuriLaniC.

CINCINNATI, Feb. Considerable in
terest has been produced in religious cir
Giles from the opening of the Young
Mems Mercantile Library on Sunday.
To-day the Ministerial Association of
this city adopted a paper deploring the
prevalence Of the Sabbath dissertation
here, declaring public travel, pleasure ex-
cursion, intoxicating liquors, and the sale
of Sunday newspapers demoralizing in
the highest degree. They express i'm
piety concerning the disposition to pro-
mote facilities to secular religion by
opening public reading rooms on Sunday
and eptreat the members not to embrace
the privileges thus extended. They favor
also the establishment of q religious read
ing room. The meeting was large one,
and but one dissenting voice.

A Case in she Supreme Court.

The land and negro lawsuit of the Settle

PENDANTS, and Capt. Thos. l.. Dodd, of
the Nashville Bar, and Capt. Robert Cox,
of Gainesboro, for complainants Capt

argument in the cause. The brief of Capt

As to your interests in the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad we would refer
you to the report of the Railroad Com
missioners.
The following preamble and resolution
was offered by Squire Msxey, which was
laid over for consideration this morning {:
Whereas, This Court at its meeting in
January last passed several resolutions in
some way endorsing the management of
the Tennessee 4 Pacific Railroad, and as is
construed instruoIs the County Judge to
cast the vote of this county for the old
directors in this road and,
Whereas, Said action was taken without
having any report before the court as to
the management of the road, and
Whereas, There is shortly 10 be held q
stockholders meeting of the stockholders
in said railroad company, when there will
be full report of the operations of said
road and where the same will be examined
and discussed by all the stockholders, now
therefore, be it
Resolved, That the resolution be so modi-
fed as to direct the Railroad Commission
ers Of said county with the County Judge
to examine said report, and upon full IN,
vestigaion to determine what is best to
be done for the protection Of the interest
of the county and to cast the vote Of the
county accordingly.
Squire Ewing introduced the following
resolution:
Whereas, An error was made in assess
L.
county purposes and for railroad taxes in
1870, there was not sufficient sum Lewis d
to meet the current expenses of the
county, and to pay the interest on the
county bonds, and,
Whereas, Some of the holders of the said
bonds and coupons speak of bringing suit
against the county for the payment of
money due them, and as this Court is
anxious to save the credit of the county,
and believing as we do that the county will
be able to pay the claims against the coun-
ty now due by not appropriating any mon
ey not absolutely necessary for the current
expenses of the county and by postponiDg
the building of the proposed wrought iron
fence around the Courthouse, and paying
the money that would be required to build
said fence to the liquidation of the above
mentioned claims against the county.
Be it
Resolved, That the resolution adopted
on the last day of the meeting of this
Court, sppropriating money to build said
fence, be reconsidered by the Court
This resolution was ably met and OF
posed by Squire Maxey
The Court adjourned, without action on
the resolution, till 10 o'clock this morn

into tracts of from one to two hundred
