The outlook for the Democracy
amt jest as good this year ez ]
shood like to see it. It will take
the closest kind Nv figgerin an the
best management in the world to
make a success, and ! reely don't
know ez it kin be done at all. There
amt much sense in our feeders.
Tweed's stealing in Moo York,
though not more in quantity than
1 spose he reely wantid, was done
too openly for the good Nv the
party elsewhere; and besides this
ther amt that unanimity, that gen,
eral oneness Nv sentiment in oul
ranks that ther had ought to be
this year. The fact IL, the Demo
cracy comprehends altogether toe
much-it hez too hefty an assort-
ment Nv principles for any one
party to swing.
l hev spent many anxious hours
on the question NV meeting this
trouble, and hev at last decided OF
a system NV work which, ef followed
out faithfully, may give us that sue
cess we hope for.
Our speakers must, for once, in
form themselves ez to to the ishoo'
now before the people. The ole
speeches which we he'd in Jaxon'
time and wich we hev used eve
since, won't do any more. We he
got to git up new ones, sure. Al
our extemporary speeches must b
carefully prepared. A CAREFUL.
prepared extemporary speech /
liable to run smoother than an OK
temporary speech that amt care
fully prepared. I alluz prepare m,
impromptoo speeches aforehand
An Ablishment kin yoose the sam
speech all over tho country, but W
can't.
In view NV the diversity u
upinion ther IL amung the Demo
cracy this year, I wood suggest t
our speakers in the various section
NV the country that they observ
the following skedule closely:

tennessee Hospital for the Insane.


The eighth biennial report of the Trus-
tees, Superintendent and Treasurer of the
Tennessee Hospital for the Insane as pre-
scented to the General Assembly, has been
published in pamphlet form. 1t contains
first the officers and trustees of the institu-
ton, the Executive Message and report of
the Board of Trustees, followed by the re-
port of John H. Calender, NJ. D., Physician
and Superintendent. The report of tie
Superintendent and Physician is a carefully
prepared review of the operations of the in
stitution under his administration, embrac-
ing also much valuable information con-
nected with its opening until the present
time. The report shows that from the
opening of the institution in 1852 to Oct. l,
1871, there have been admitted and treated
seventeen hundred and seven patients, and
there have been discharged by recovery, or
improvement, by removal by friends, and
by death, thirteen hundred and tifty-five
patients, leaving three hundred and fifty
two patients under treatment on the first
day of October last.
In referring to the recommendations that
have been made for the erection of another
hospital, the Superintendent in his report
calls attention to the fact that "the State
by the recent census has a population ex-
ceeding million and quarter of inhabi-
tants, and by statistical tables the ratio of
the insane to the general population would
at the lowest estimate fix the number of
insane demanding provision at from 1000
to ] 200. To place one-half of this number
in the buildings now occupied and in near
course of completion would be more than
could be safely and properly done"
The report, altogether, referring as it does
to one of the noblest institutions in the
State, Is elaborate, and just such as might
have been expected from its able author.
To adopt the language of the Board of
Trustees, sit is characterized by that ability
for which the Doctor is distinguished, and
is valuable contribution to the current lit
erature of insanity"

New Ho.e, at the Chattanooga Depot.

The new three story brick hotel of Mr..
Robert Eve, just finished on Church street
contiguous to the Chattanooga depot, is
perhaps better arranged and more finely ap-
pointed in every respect than any hotel Of its
size in the city. Its architecture is of mod
ern style and quite tasteful. The saloon is
well supplied with everything-the dining
hall on the fist floor reached by a hall door
20 the left of the saloon entrance is commo-
dious, warm and well ventilated. The
second and third stories, reached
by straight flight of stairs,
contains nice cosy sleeping rooms each Of
which has gas, fire place and window, the
latter affording full view of the depot and
the surrounding places. On the second
floor is parlor adjoining which is dress
ing room where parties getting off of trains
can go aud change their clothes before
coming up in the city. Altogether, this
hotel is unique, comfortable and palatial in
its agreeable attractions which viii never
cease to be supplied under the judicious
management of its proprietor, MIR. Robt.
Eve, who may congratulate himself upon
the possession of such a hotel. The Res
taurant will always afford the best of meals
at any hour, day and night

DELIVERED BY CARRIERS IN THE CIT
| week.,

Single copies cents; to dealers at 81
cents per copy.
This is an advance over the rates of 1871,
to which We have been driven by an imper-
alive necessity, it having been demonstrated
in our experience that the price heretofore
charged is altogether inadequate 10 the out
lay and expense incurred in the publication
of such papers as we have been issuing from
the city of Nashville. Assuming that we
viii not, in justice, be expected to publish a
paper at clear loss to ourselves, and also
assuming that only very small proportion
of the public have even the most re-
mote conception of what our ex-
penses really are, as compared with
what they were before the war, it will be
appropriate to explain that every item for
material and labor is enhanced from one to
two hundred per cent, while some of them
are increased eight and ten times beyond
what they were in 1889 and go. Then
the Nashville publisher paid out per week
less than five hundred dollars, which in
cluded all his expenses, while now the week
ly expense of publishing the UNION AND
AMERICAN and Republican Banner, each,
will average two thousand dollars, and it is
all cash. The workmen must be paid as
soon as the work is done.
Since the year 1871 began, We have, by
doubling our telegraph expenses, increased
the volume of Geographic report to ten
thousand words daly-that is, by mourning
this additional outlay, we have been ad-
mitted as members of the Western Asso-
ciated Press, so that now the people of
Nashville, who read our papers, get the
same telegraphic news received by New
York, Cincinnati, st. Louis, Chicago and
all the leading cities of the United States.
We feel assured that our patrons will
justify us in advancing the rates of subscrip-
ton as above given, since it is absolutely
necessary to sustain the expense of publ
cation. j. o. GRIFFITH & Co.,

RIVER News.

The river was still declining slowly at
this point yesterday, with IS inches on
Harpeth Shoals. Weather clear and cool.
The most perfect stagnation existed at
the levee Yesterday, and we have nothing
whatever to report in that locality.
The St. Louis Democrat says that the
Lumsden is working at the Dexter at Dog
tooth, and thinks she can get her off. The
Dexter has not been injured yet.
John B. Davies, the Louisville engine
builder, was in Memphis the other day,
going to New Orleans. The Avalanche
SAYS: Gle hints at some tall steamboat
running, which is likely to come off within
ten days over the Lee-Natchez race course,
and which, it is more than likely, VIII be
taken down peg or two"
The Louisville Ledger OF yesterday says:
The river continues to recede at this point,
and last night there was only three feet
eight inches in the channel by the canal
marks. At Pittsburg the river is falling,
with thirty inches water il the chanel, and
at all points between Pittsburg and the
month the same state of things exist. The
weather continues cold, but not severely so;
but if there is not rain soon the chances for
freeze are two to one against an open
river. Business continues quiet with boat
men.
The St. Louis Democrat Of Friday gives
the situation as follows:
Weather cool, with wind from the north.
River unchanged. The ice gorges south of
this harbor continue fast. Navigation be-
low the ice is suspended on account of low
wafer. Below Cairo the river is steadily
falling. The Ohio is daily getting nearer
the totally unnavigable point. Here river
matters retain quiet aspect per force OF
circumstances over which river men have
no control.
The river man of the Louisville Ledger
is something of poet. This is the last
attempt:
The bridge has pier
At each end of a span,
Which acts as sort OF
An upright dam.
There's dam above,
And dam below,
And several dams,
As the steamers go
Down the chute and
Over the rocks,
Into the ditch
And through the locks.
Rut the river treats them all as a sham,
whether a natural or We1tzel dam,
IF dimples and sparkles, and foams along,
Happy as a minstrel with VIII rays song
The only stopping place on its route
Is the basin the Champion can't pump out.
But the Champion did pump her out.
[By Telegraph
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 16.-The steamer City
Of PeIlin and the towboat Fisher, after but
ting at the ice gorge between here and
Kineswick, twenty-five miles below, part
of Yesterday and most of to-day, effected a
passage and came to the wharf this even
| ing. Navigation is now resumed south,
Several boats will leave as soon as loaded.
| The g1rga above the bridge spiers is still
strong, and the probabilities are that the
river between here and Cairo viii remain
clear Of ice during the winter.

Rev. Stuart Robinson, DID.

This gentleman, no less distinguished for
his eminent literary attainments, than for
his power as pulpit orators, and profound
theologian, as well as for his earnest piety,
is on brief visit here to the First Presby-
terrain Church, where he will preach this
morning and at night, having been invited
by the Church to assist in the very interest
ing meetings that are in progress there,
and which have already resulted in the ad-
dition to the Church of more than sixty
members, thirty or forty of whom will this
morning make public profession of their faith
in Christ. We doubt not that DR.. Robin
sons great power will be exercised pro-
fitably to the building up of the Church
during his brief sojourn, and we are sure
all will be edited and delighted who hear
him.
