NAMELEss OUTRAGEs are on the
increase in the South. Ignorant and de-
PRAYED blacks have been taught to regard
the revolutionary measures of the Mon
grel majority in Congress, against the
whites, as license to the indulgence of
the most beastial and fendish passions
towards the helpless and unprotected of
the latter. Among the oft recurring ex-
amples of this fact, is the affair in Gas
ton county, North Carolina-the horrible
details of which cannot be thought of
without firing the brain with madness and
arousing Indignation to the highest pitch
against the prime authors, (the Radical
prophets of vengeance and hate, of these
awful offences against humanity. What
shall be done to arrest them?

Geo. I. Downing, the well known
Washington caterer and colored politi-
clan, in a letter to the New York Herald,
complains that the leaders, in their social
intercourse with the blacks, donot act out
their professions. He says that they
preach social equality and practice it af-
ter sort of back-stair, side-door style /;
but they do not come up to the work
bravely and without reservation as Nor
gan has done. The mincing manner of
these Radical white-skins towards his
race has persuaded Downing to believe
that their professions are all hypocritical,
and that the cunning knaves are only
trying to run the darlies for their votes.
The complaint that Downing alleges,
is getting to be quite common with his
colored brethren. Even here they have
noticed that the colored members of the
Legislature and other negro dignitaries
with their wives and daughters have not
been invited to attend the carpet-bag balls
at Angeles Hall during the present ses-
sion of the Legislature, though they
have occasionally hob-nobbed on the
streets-taken wine together in the COM
mittee rooms-and joined in something to
drink, on the sly, in second class saloons.

A SIX Hundred Thousand Dollar
HamH.

1t is the custom In all States where
honest legislation is the rule and robbery
the exception, at the close of every ses-
sion of the Legislature to pass general
appropriation bill, in which every item of
expenditure is specifically stated. And
this has been the invariable usage in this
State. But as it was designed to guard
the treasury against fraud, and to enable
the taxpayers to know how the money
which is collected from them for the pur-
poses of the government, is spent, the
custom was deemed unnecessary of OBJ
servance by the Mongrel Wreckers who
have been holding their high carnival in
the State capitol for the past five months.
With so many examples of the unblush-
ing villainy of this gang, the public will be
scarcely surprised at any outrageous act
of which they may have been guilty
Nevertheless the statement may awaken
establishment in some minds, that this
body did actually pass law appropria-
ting in single lump, without spicifica-
ton, or explanation, the enormous sum
of SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS in addition to the various ex-
travagant appropriations by special en-
actment of which the public have been
advised. 1t was sprung upon the Legis-
lature at the last hour of the session, by
the majority, and rushed through both
Houses without an hours consideration
The journals will show the facts to be as
we have stated, and the law which is as
follows, will speak for itself:

ONE BY ONE.

They are gathering hOmeward from every land
One by one;
As their weary feet touch the shining strand.
One by one;
Their brows are enclosed in golden crown,
Their aveI-stained garments all laid down
And, clothed with white Iaiments, they rest OF
the mead.
Where the Lamb loveth lis chosen to lead
One by one.
Before they rest they pass through the strife.
One by one;
Through the waters of death they enter life,
One by one;
To some are the floods Of the river still,
As they ford their way to the heavenly hill;
To others the waves fercely and wild,
Yet all reach the home of the undeiled,
une by one.
We too shall come to the river side,
One by one;
We are nearer its waters each even tide,
One by one
We can hear the noise and dash Of the stream,
Now and again, through our !iie's deep dream
Sometimes the floods o'er the banks o'erlow,
Sometimes in rippIes the small waves go,
One by
Jesus Redeem sr We look TO Thee
Ore by one
We lift our voices tremblingIy,
One by one;
The waves of the river are dark and cold,
We know not the the spots where our feet may hold
Thou, who didst pass through III deep midnight:
strengthen us send Us the staff and the light,
One by one.
Plant Thou Thy feet beside we tread,
One by one
On Thee let Us lean each dropping head,
One by ona;
Let bus Thy mighty arm around Us be twined.
We II east all our fears and cares 10 the wind
Savior Redeemer with Thee full in view,
Smiling, glsdsomcly, shall pass through,
One by one.

New-year's night A silver wedding

New-year's night A silver wedding
Mr.. Dunnings mansion was thrown open
and thronged with his friends, 1t was no
stately affair The children were there as
well as the old folks, and the house was
aglow with merriment and good cheer
There were beautiful presents, smiling
congratulations, and shaking of hands
bright-e eyed girls with dazzling dresses and
shining white shoulders; dignifed matrons
in stately silks and diamonds; benignant
fathers in glossy broadcloths and sober kids
elegant young men in swallowtailS and
white vests screaming children, with wild,
delighted countenances and the buzz aud
rustic and din and clatter of the crowd that
had dismissed dull care for the nonce, and
was bent on making night of it.
Tom Shelly was there and so was Lucy
Ware The former was surrounded by
friends and new acquaintances eager to con
gratulate him on recent important event
namely, his admission as partner with Mr..
Dunning.
''Dunning & Shelly has very respeeta-
bic sound, said one.
Accept my congratulations on your good
fortune" said another.
''Well Tom, your luck has come at last. y
"You deserve your luck-eyery bit of it, y
were the words of an old friend.
Tom received all this with due grace and
modesty. A few ventured to sound him, TO
test his intelligence, but were speedily sat
isfed on that score. He was a thoughtful
reader, and possessed little stock of books
that many of those around him would have

The New Railroad Association.
In the County Court yesterday, the pro-
position submitted by the committee from
the citizens meeting came as unexpected
ly to the opponents of the Nashville and
Decatur Railroad lease to the Louisville
and Nashville Railroad Company as 1t did
to the friends of that measure. To so few,
if any, members of the court was 1t
known that while the court was
listening with marked attention to the
forcible and convincing argument OF MAJ.
John G. Thompson, against the lease TO
Louisville, meeting of business men and
taxpayers was quietly but earnestly at
work to devise some means to defeat the
lease. To the enemies Of the lease the
proposition came as a burst of glorious
sunlight from a cloudy sky, while
to the friends of the lease it seemed
like q clap of thunder out of
a very clear and entirely cloudless hori-
ION. Ed. Baxter, Esq, when he came
to answer Maj. Thompson, went so far, In
the heat of debate, as to characterize Col.
Coles proposition as trick OF the Joe
Brown ring. Col, Cole assures us that Joe
Brown has nothing whateverto do with the
affair, and. in fact, nobody abroad has yet
been solicited to help the project proposed

A Word for the Dogs.

Poor animals, they need word spoken
for them! 1t is true our streets and yards
are fairly infested with straying, worthless
dogs; but does that offer the least excuse
for allowing them to be goaded and beaten
to the verge of madness? Let those who
wish to rid themselves of such a trouble
take humane measures to do so. It seems
that parents who would have their children
grow up to maturity of goodness and
worth, will allow them to abuse the most
insignificant Of animals. More than once
lately, have our quiet streets been dis
turbed by the howlings of these prosecuted
creatures. Let those people who thought
lessly allow such things remember what an
influence for evil it will surely have.
Man has no friend so faithful as his dog,
and vet there are those who can witness
the sufferings of this noble animal with a
heartles5ness which is utterly unworthy Of
humanity. How can people look around
and behold everywhere the goodness Of
God; the protecting care that is constantly
over US, and wantonly abuse any creature,
and especially the one intended as q COM
panion for us. Let as have no more Of
these cruel scenes; no more Of those tor
mented wretehed dogs. In mercys name.

KIND WORDS.

Among the many complimentary refer
ences to this paper by cur brethren of the
press, the following from the Western
Methodist, at Memphis, is duly sppre-
ciated, and we hope always to deserve
the good opinion so often expressed of our
paper:
''The Nashville UNION AND AMERICAN,
published by Messrs. J. o. Griffith & Co.,
with its three editions, daily, semi-week-
ly, and weekly, is one of the most inter-
esting and successful newspapers in the
land. In fact, we put it at the head of
the list of secular journals received by US;
for, while 1t is equal to the best of them
in intelligence and enterprise, it is super
ior to al in its noble regard for the NOR
al well-being and improvement of socie-
ty. Its political, commercial and local
departments are edited with great ability
and propriety, and its agricultural depart
ment is full, instructive and satisfactory
in the highest degree. We congratulate
our old friend, Co. Griffith, who, with
his co-laborers, has achieved noble sue
cess, in furnishing the people a paper
most worthy of patronage. May its pa
tronsge, now large, increase greatly from
year 10 year. We advise all our readers
who wish newspaper from the capital
of Tennessee, to send for the UNION AND
AMERICAN.

state Teachers Association.

The officers of the State Teachers Asso-
citation met at the office of Hon. Neill 8.
Brown to consider the interests of the pub
lie schools of the State.
Encouraging reports were made as to
the interest among the counties Of the
State.
Many counties are now on the point of
voting taxes for public schools. Several
counties already have schools in successful
operation.
There is great demand for copies of the
school law,
The meeting proposes to issue twelve
thousand copies of the law together with
the proceedings of the last State Teachers
Association.
1t is hoped that the material will be
ready for the press in few days.

discussed and a committee was appointed

AUouse Not Wanted.

There has Just been erected upon the lot
purchased and owned by the United States
government for Customhouse building
for a drinking saloon and eating house.
This lot adjoins that upon which the en-
terprise and iberality of our citizens have
constructed the elegant and capacious
hall for the Tennessee Industrial Exhibi-
ton to be opened here on the 8th inst.
1t has ever been regarded as the prov
ince of q great government to guard and
protect such enterprises from any iniu-
ences that might tend to defeat the moral
effect consequent upon them, and the
managers have proudly pointed to the fact
that up to this time not one piece of prop
erty in this vicinity has been occupied for
this purpose. 1t remains for the repre-
sentatives Of the National Government to
be the exception, and we are sure that
upon proper representations it will not be
permitted to remain an eyesore to all who
desire the welfare of our people.

Progress i'm the south-Priptinr.

Progress IN the south is in nothing
more manifest than in the art and extent
of printing. The newspapers of the South
spend from two to five times as much at
present in procuring and printing news
than six years ago. In job printing the
same advance has been made, and now all
offices entitled to the name in. the South
are prepared TO turn out as fine work as
any in the country. In some kinds of
railroad work, for example, the lettering
and numbering of coupon railway tickets,
all of our roads, for many years, have been
compelled to apply at the North for their
work. The Franklin Printing House at
Atlanta, owned by our old and well-known
Nashville citizen, j. j. Toon, is now pre-
pared to do that kind of work in the best
style, and IS cheaply as can be had at New
York, Buffalo, or any other place in the
Union. He has the only and regular com
plete ticket numbering machine in the
South for that class Of work. Indeed, he
has a model printing establishment, and
Southern railroad companies will find it to
their advantage to stop at home for work
which can be as well and eheaply done as
elsewhere.
