HRhaaS C0Pnua.

In the hGbeds corpus case of Wilheight,
who was indicted last February, by the
State of Tennessee in the Circuit Court of
White county, testimony was heard in the
United States Circuit Court yesterday show
ing that Wilheight, as private in Col. Gar
rett's regiment (Federal) was present in
1864 with the main body of the troops; that
the man killed at the time was a guerrilla
named Hildreth, and that the prisoner is in
dictedi in the State Court for murder. The
case was one of peculiar interest, and sew
eral new points were presented, the counsel
for the defendant argued that if he had ac-
tually killedthe said Hildreth, who is proven
to have been guerrilla, he would have been
protected by General Order military No.
100, authorizing the killing and extermina-
ton of guerrillas and other lawless bands.
The court held the case under advisement
and reserved its opinion until Monday, until
which time the prisoner was admitted to
bail in the sum of $1,000.

The GOodIettsviIIe entertainment.

The concert and tableaux at Goodletts-
vile, last Friday night, was a gratifying sue
cess to everybody. Early in the evening par
ties began to arrive from every direction,
and before the performance commenced the
house was perfectly crowded. Mr.. Green
Morrow, assisted by number of ladies and
gentlemen of Goodlettsville, conducted the
tableauX, and the concert was given by
amateurs from this city, directed by Mr..
JnO. Campbell. The entire programme
was highly interesting, and reflected credit
to the performers. Green Morrow caused
much fun in his charades, and was humor-
Gus to the end. The concert counterbal-
ancing the tableauX, was just such as will
please every one. Among the vocalists were
Misses Wambaugh, Cotton, Lumsden and
Scoyel, with Messrs. Jackson, Phillips, Will
son, Campbell and French. The presence
of these parties is an assurance of musical
treat on any occasion. The solos, duets and
choruses were uneXceptiOnable, and the COM
ic glees sung made merriment to all. Miss
Campbell was pianist for the party. The
tableauX were beautiful and artistically ar
ranged, and in which Geeen Morrow did his
best. The parties from the city spent the
night at GOOdlettsville, and returned yester-
das morning, delighted with the hospitali-
ties extended. E. A. Mathes, Esq, dub
bed the Duke of Goodlettsville who lost his
hat,) has the thanks of allfor bringing about
the entertainment, and for courtesies ex-
tended to the ladies and gentlemen from
the CITY.

As was anticipated Masonic Hall was
crowded with large and fashionable audi
ence of ladies and gentlemen who were
regally entertained by the oddities, comic
scenes and irresistible wit of the Hart,
Ryman q Barry Ministries. No person who
attended will ever regret it, but would
cheerfully repeat the same act of entertain
ment to himself should future occasion pre-
sent itself. The singing of Rudolph and
Murphy was very natural and unstrained as
ever, causing cheer after cheer from the
audience, who were at one moment con-
vulsed with laughter by the "Bad Whisky"
"Trials," and "Pompey's Patients" and at
the next held enchanted as it were by Mr..
Adams in his song Of "Old Black joe
which for true pathos and moral sentiment
is not surpassed and never equalled in
manner of being sung. We wish the trOud
that success which their talent and excellence
deserve.

The Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-
road Case.

The petition of the Tennessee creditors
of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad,
filed in the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Tennessee, came in
to be heard before Judge Trigg on day be-
fore yesterday.
On the calling of the case a motion was
made by w. A. c.. Jones, an Alabama cred
itor,to stay the proceedings in this State, on
the ground that previous to the filing Of the
petition in the Eastern District of Tennessee,
a petition for the same purpose had been
filed by said Jones in the District Court Of
the United States for the Middle District of
Alabama.
The question involved was, therefore,
which of the two petitions were first filed.
1t appears that Jones' petition was prepared
and presented to the Hon. w. B. Woods,
United States Circuit Judge (acting as
Judge of the Bankrupt Court in Ala
bama in the absence of Judge Busted,
District Judge for Alabama), on
the Nth day of September, 1871. When this
petition was presented It was suggested to
Judge Woods by counsel who appeared as
dJaiclts clriU, that the District Clerk and
his deputies were both absent, and that the
petition had never been filed: that for this
reason, no action could be taken on the
petition-the law requiring that the same
should be filed, before any order to show
cause could be issued thereon. On the 18th
of September, Judge Woods granted an or
der that the Alabama and Chattanooga Rail-
road Company, show cause on the 9TH OF
November, why it should not be declared
banllrupt-whiCh order, as well as the petit
ton. were ordered to be filed. This order
and the original petition, were deposited for
the first time in the clerks office at Mont
gomerv. Ala, on the 10Th day of September
at 1 O'Clock p. NJ. The Clerk was then still
absent, but on his return in October endOrs-
ell all the papers as filed on the said 10Th Of
September, at 4 p. NJ.
On the same day at 11:30 O'Clock A. NJ
four and half hours before the filing Of
Jones' petition, the Tennessee creditors filed
their petition.
The case was argued by TOmlinson Fort,
Of Chattanooga, and John NJ. Chiffon, Of
Alabama, in behalf of the Tennessee credi-
tors, while L. S. Murphy of Alabama, APP
peared for Mr.. Jones. The court reserved
its decision until yesterday morning, when
it decided, that under ''General Order in
Ba nkruptcies No. Is, prescribed by the SUI
preme Court of the United States, discre-
ton was vested in the Bankrupt Courts, as
to the time when it would adiudicate in
voluntary bankruptcy, when questions of
the priority of petitions filed in different dis
tricts was raised. That in the eXertiOn, he
would refuse, for the present to make any
order in the case. The court remarked
that in pursuing this course, he hoped the
Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad Com
pany, and its creditors would be enabled to
make some satisfactory arrangement that
would relieve it from its present embarrass

Report of the Grand Jury.

The grand jury of the Criminal Court, in
their final report submitted yesterday, state
that they find the County Asylum in good
condition, the inmates comfortable, and
well provided for Respecting the Jail, the
jury report that they find it clean and COM
Portable, and the prisoners properly fed, and
in other respects rendered as comfortable
as the nature of the situation will permit.
They express the opinion that the Jail yard
is too limited to be used for County Work
house purposes. Closing their report, the
grand jury express their qualification at the
efficiency evinced by the officers of the
court during the term, and tender their
thanks to r. b. Sloan for the valuable as
sistance rendered them by that officer in
the performance of their tedious and pro-
tracted official duties. Having finished the
business of the term, the grand jury re-
paired to the Battle House, and after par
taking ola sumptuous dinner, returned
true bill in favor Of Gen. Battle, and then,
with the gratifying consciousness of having
in all things done the best they could, the
grand jury ceased to exist, and the worthy
citizens who had composed it returned to
the quietude Of their homes.

Twelve persons, convicted at the term of
the Criminal Court which has just finally
adjourned, and whose names, crimes and

the Jail out to the penitentiary, and, after
being attired in the garments Of many
stripes peculiar TO that institution, went to
work in the service of the State. Proceed
ing along the streets, these miserable and
unfortunate creatures presented a sad pic
ture, embracing appeal for the pity of the
benevolent, while at the same time asserting

what the General Freight Agent saws.
We were shown yesterday a letter from

the Louisville and Nashville Railroad, m
Maj. j. s. Bransford, the General Agent of
the road at this place, in which be saws:
The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company does not charge double first or
first class rates ON perishable articles. Cab
bage, apples and potatoes are taken at third
and fourth class rates from all local stations
and are taken from Louisville to Nashville
and rice uersG for less than one-half first
class rates. The release that '1Publicus''
refers to is not exacted on shippersto Nash
vile or other points reached by the Louis
vile and Nashville Railroad, but to points
south of Nashville via Nashville and Chat
tanooga road only. The railroad companies
south Of Nashville compel this company ia
exact such release or assume the entire re-
sponsibility for payment Of freight and
charges and loss by delay that may result
from transportation of perishable articles

Hack. Sir

Mosquitoes, city hogs and boot-blacBs may
be considered and are truly nuisances of
no little consequence, yet they fall far short
of bOtheratiOn in comparison with the col
Ored hackmen of our city, who are to be
found everywhere and at all times. 1t is
impossible fot a stranger to walk out of a
hotel without being greeted with Hack,
Sir Go to the depot and you are annoy
ed by the same disagreeable ''here s yer
hack" Emerge from the theatre or other
place of amusement and Eyes sir, this hack"
is the first thing to fall upon your ears.
Walk by a hotel, turn round the corner of
public place, or pause on thepavement, and
the same eternal sound will greet you.
But this is not all. The negro hackmen,
negro-llke, love repose, and are fond of loaf
ing and lounging around the corners, on
the steps, and annoying every body that
passes by. The corner of Cherry and
Church is favorite place. The steps in
that vicinity are often dignified with their
presence, and ladies and gentlemen who
pass by find it very disagreeable at times to be
yelled at and tested with by the ''Hack here"
''step in,n etc. The police should look after
this matter, for not only do hackmen, of
the colored complexion, seem to delight in
this annoyance, but those who are not con-
nected with the business have fallen in love
with the practice, and act as drummers for
the drivers, who, sitting with dignified COM
posture and complacent laZiness near by on
some step or box, are much amused and
highly entertained by the insulting spright-
illness of their agents.

On Friday evening last a concert was civ
en- in Hendersonville, Sumner county, which
is mentioned as one Of the most pleasant
entertainments that has ever taken place
there. The concert was for the benefit of

Calender & Douglass, the Principals of that
fourishing school, A very large audience
assembled, and handsome sum was real
lied. The concert was superintendent by
our fellow-citizen, L. Z. Freeman, who is
one of our best amateurs, and with the as
sistance of the young ladies in the neigh
borhoOd, the entertainment proved to be
very accountable to the large crowd present.

one of the most gifted, brilliant and grace
fid musical composers Of the country.
Many have admired his music which in
Sadie Ray breathes sentiment soft and me
lodious as "the ripping streamlet's flow"
when the !'eve 'of summers golden sunse:

Accountable Mess Of Birds.

A highly esteemed friend, whose genial
humOr and generous nature, as well as his
UnerTing aim when shooting at game,
amount to distinguished traits Of character,
yesterday gave us practical demonstration
of the success which usually attends his eff
forts at bird hunting. La this very accept
able collection was a cwlew, or Irish
mocking bird, a fine and fat specimen of a
species now almost extinct. This is the
remarkable bird said to make his shrillest
notes by thrusting his bill in the ground
and whistling through his speers. Thank
you, B. M.-believe us forever yours.
