Ia the July number Of tina Nel0 NOntklg
Magazine, The editor has this to say Of Nash
vile:
a residence Of several months in NASH
vile hiss imp. essed- upon our mind severnl
facts That We think worthy Of placing upon
the record.
We have seen the city when the streets
were tbrorged with visitors 10 the Indus
trisl Exposition and we have seen ii
when only the resident population appear
cd upon its thorcughfaTes. We have never
knSRn o city of equal sizs that was as
quiet and orderly as the city Of Nashville.
Her police system is certainly most eff.
fective organization, ard the admirable o.
der preserved upon thu public streets is
the highest compliment that can be paid &c
a city government
4 few months ego 8 movement Vas
made &c inauguFate an Industrial exposi-
iioo for the State OF large, the exhibition
to be located il Nashville. Very little
parade was made about the matter, ard
we he'd our fears, as some others had, per
hsps. that the effort would be a failure
To cur great surprise, the Tenn essee
Industrial Exposition, the result Of p
SUCCESS. In the number and quality of
articles exhibited, va doubt if any State
Feir ever oqaalled it-certsiDly none with
10 our knowledge ever surpassed it.
Notwithstanding the immense crowds
that we're daily and nightly visiting the
Exposition for nearly three weeks, nothing
occurred TO occasion regret. 1t is thought
that twenty thousand visitors were in the
city d1lirg three weeks, and get we are in
formed that there was not single breach
Of the peace during that time. The law
less character that usually infest places of
public gathering were not here, or else
they we're kept under such surveillance
thar they bad no opportunity to exe1cise
their nefarious arts.
or the secular press Of Nashville we feel
inclined to say few woros The UNION
AND AMERICAN and Republican BdHnGT are
papers whose energy and enterprise re-
feet credit upon the city. The amount Of
matter which appears IN these dsiliss is
truly astonishing, whilst their rates of
publication are lover than those Of many
smaller journals. A large ard skllfll
corps of editors and reporters keep the
reader advised Of every noteworthy occur
renee, and the spirit Of fairness peryadiDg
thsiF columns is really admirable. Too
often it happens that journals whose in
terests come in conflict with each other
engage 10 heated contests, descend to low
abuse, and handy degrading epithets back
and forth-sometine to the amusement,
but never 70 the edifcaiion, Of the public
Our city joEr1als seem to be sctuated by a
nobler spirit, aud we think their example
worthy of nniYsrsal imitation.

ssKu E6luxing', and Withholding
Pensions.

stku Ekluxingo and Within Oiding
Pensions.
Patrick Dowdy and Thomas Goodman
were tried before Commissioner Trimhle
yesterday on the charge Of Ku- KluxiDg a
negro near Lavergne some time since
This, we believe, is the first case that has
been tried in this city under the new Ku
Klux law Under any other law it would
probably have been regarded as an aggia-
waited case of assault ard battery, with
some allowance for mitigating circuin-
stances. The negro had been employed
on Goodmans farm, and YVES sent TO
Dowdy's place to cradle some grain. lie
crs died till about noon, when Dowdy told
him to bind. The negro refused, saying
he could not bind as his back was sore,
but that be would go and work on his own
place. Dowdy told the negro not to insult
him, ard started after him. The negro
dropped the cradle and ran. Some time
after, Goodman and Dowdy took the negro
into a piece Of woods and gave him .
souud whipping. Dowdy and Goodman
we've bound over 10 the Federal Court in
the SIM Of $3.50 each.
Bsf0le the same Commissioner the ctse
of w. W. Ingelsoll was brought yesterday,
bat examination was postponed until two
weeks. We understand that Ingersoll is
chsrged with Withholding pensions from
negroes.

Tie peace of our part of Church street
was yesterday morning rudely disturbed
by q violent and unnecessary alteration,
between belligerent negro woman named
Emeline Bent, and a negro man named
Coleman, the special deputy Of a negro
magistrate. Coleman had warrant for
the arrest Of Emeline, but the latter de
cliued to go with him, on the ground that
he was not & dHly authorized officer Of the
law. The special deputy insisted aud
Emeline still resisted. lie asserted his
authority and exhibited the warrant She
declared that no negro should arrest her
unIess he was an officer Of the law
Thareupon the Especial deputy" seized the
refractory female, lmpresslgely Remaining
at the time that THE law NUT be obeyed. Fl"
Her impressions on the subject were en-
tirelv different, and sire demonstrated her
unwilliugness to submit by knocking the
special deputy down with psychological
specimen which she carried for TIE occa-
sion. This was sOmewhat disoouraging to
Coleman, but he still persisted. The vic
torious female continued 10 assert her in
dependence. The frscss attracted large
crowd, and was about to lead to still
more seTi0us disturbance of the peace,
when City Marshal James Brently appear
ed at the scene Of tum1lt, and in very
brief time succeeded in rest ring order
He ordered the especial deputy to let the
woman alone and told her to go her ways
and behave herself. The order was prompt
" obeyed, the crowd quietly dispersed,
and nobody seemed to care two CENTS and
a half for the rout and discontinue of the
special deputy"

By the statements given above, it will
be seen also that the average exports have
been $5S, 200, OGO, so that last years move
ment is really $4,000, 900 in advance OF
the average, though By no means unprece-
dented, as We have shown. In estimating
the net outgo it should net be forgotten
that there are imports as well as exports,
on which the fuancier should keep his
eye. The imports have certainly increas-
ed, for during the four years 1868 40 and
s, the receipts Of coin ard bullion only
averaged 81, 900, coo, while for the last
five years this amount has nearly doubled,
averaging S21, 0O0, 600 and fraction per
snnum. 1t is necessary, therefore, to de-
duct from twenty-five to forty per cent.
from The gross shipments, on account of
imports, in order to arrive at correct idea
of the specie expectations.

Proposals for Building the New

A meeting Of the MaIkethouse Commit
tee was yesterday held TO open and con-
sidsr the various propositions submitted
for building the new Ma kethouse. The
amounts shown 10 the lowest bids pat in
greatly exceed The probable costs as OH
ginslly estimated, ard it ig therefore,
deemed proper by the Committee 70 make
70 award at present. / is not probable
that any thing further viii he done in the
matter until the City Council considerably
increase the amount already appropriated
fer this much needed improvement.

The Mad stone.

some discussion is going on in certain
horizons of the State as to the value of the
mad stone in curing hydrophobia and sim-
ilaF diseases. Some contend that it will
cure, while others assert that it does no
good whatever. The Pulaski Press of the
18th says that negro named Granville,
was bitten by some unknown reptile, ma
king an ugly wound. He at first applied
spirits of turpentine which did no good,
but afterwards applied mad stone, and in
a few moments the swelling began to go
down, in less than half sn hour the stone
dropped of and the negro has not COM
LIGuaed since.

Refreshed and Refreshing Serena


The largest andmost brilliant serenading
party of the season last Thursday night
called at a number of residences to say in
song sweetly things to their dreaming lady
friends Between twenty-five and fifty
Youthful gentlemen constituted the party
on these musical visitations. Most OF
them are good singers, and on this occa-
sion were in fac voice and feeling.
Just as happy as SO many sun flowers, II
not more so. In the way of instrumental
outfit, these musical youths were provided
with large ard high sound
ing hand organ, which was con-
veniently carried around on q friendly
wheel-barrow. The pieces sung and played
were of the easy and familiar class, such
as '..Sweet be thy Sleep" How are you,
sweetheart, Mary had little lamb, ETC.
These musical visitaiions were every where
received with the delicate evidences of
approval betting tho occasion. At more
than two residences full pitchers of ice
water were handed from second story
windows to the gay young singer. Some
how or other ths hand-organ got so
thoroughly drenched that it would
no longer emit delicious sounds AID
therefore had to be wheeled out of line.
About this time cousiderate gentleman
kindly treated the boys to some more ice
water, aud gently sdmonished them, mot
80 loud, if you please. These two last
circumstances had diseouraging tenden-
cy, and the serenaders adjourned for the
night, to dream of the dear ones for in
brave delight they had labored-in vain.
For fear the youthful serensders may
imagine that the ice water was eontrib1-
ton on the part of the young ladies, We
will relieve their minds in this respect by
saying that disturbed sleeper Of the male
persuasion in an adjoining building, who
had no appreciation of the excellent music,
did the water throwing.

The sigma Alpha Epsilon Con-
VCnli0n,


The annual convention of the Signs
Alpha Epsilon fraternity, was hsld in this
place on Wednesday and Thursday list.
The delegation was larger than any previ-
Gus one, and comprised some of the best
students in the s Juth. The Fraternity was
reported to be in very hourishing c0rdi-
ton, and the membership rapidly Increas-
ing. Several, new charters were granted
to establish Chapters in Southern Uniyer-
sites. The officers of the convention
were: A. A. Murphey, President; N.
Mathews, Vice President; a. ii. Lusk,
Recording Secretary; G.. A. Howell, Cor
responding Secretary, and c. P. Curd,
L, easurer. A great deal of business was
transacted, at the conclusion of which,
Mr.. Card read the poem of Mr.. j. o.
Wright, Of New Orleans, La, who was un-
able 10 attend. Ii was entitled, ''Alone in
the calm quiet valley" and reflected
much credited on tho young poet, both
on account of the beautiful sentiment that
it expires ed and its fine versifcstioa.
After the reading of the poem, Mr.. s. D.
Mccormick, CT Henderson, KY, the ora
tor for the occasion, proceeded to address
the Convention. His subject was, 'Centri-
kzstion of Power, as evinced in our eouc-
try by the contempt of State Sovereignty,
and the Waning of Popular Liberty and
well did he handle it. L. was not only
well written, but well delivered, and the
Fraternity have much reason TO be proud
of their orator.
The prizs for the best GRAFTON was
awarded TO Mr.. H. II. Washington, of
Murfreesboro, Tenn. This gentIeman's
subject was-"The decisive battles of the
world, from Marathon to Waterloo" He
traced, in a mastery style, the effects OF
the great battles, and demonstrated, be-
You'd doubt, that there was an All Pow
erful Providence overshadowing each and
all of them. His Grafton was very well
delivered and prophesies that the young
gentleman will make his mark in the
world Mr.. A A. Murphey, Of Georgia,
obtained the prize for the best essay. His
subject, '"True Independence" was han
died in such way that all present could
tell that the sentiments were directly frem
his heart. Col. L. @, @. LaMarr, of Mis-
sissippi, was selected to deliver the ora
ton at the next General Convention,
which meets at Atlanta, Georgia, and Mr..
Blount, of Texas, to write the poem. The
convention then adjourned.

The ExpOrtation Sf Precious Metals.
The export Of precious metals is one of
the most uncertain end spasmcdic features
connected with our foreign exchanges.
There is no such thing as estimating COR
rectly. In advance, how the currens is like
y to flow, for its yearly shipments Change
from one extreme to the other. During
the last month the exports Ct specie have
been heavier than is usual. The statement,
however, that these shipments are unpse-
cedented is widely incorrect. The official
returns forthe whole year not yet having
been published, of course it is impossible
to give ths exact figures of the movement,
but By basing the estimate on the official
reports for eight months and for the re-
naming four months, on the statements
and estimates OF the New York Custo m
House, close approximation to accuracy
Is obtained:

THE FISCAL YEAR 1ST0-n

Net export Of specie 1901. 1850. SIC, 2UO, 900
At first glance the grand total, $685.
100000 Is rather startling, but when it is
remembered that of this amount $22, OOO,-
600 in gold and silver has come into our
ports from foreign countries, the net ex-
portation decreases to S76, 200, 600. which
is quite modest. While our exports Of
| precious metals for the present fiscal year
exceed, by nearly SIS, 0OO,0 0O, those Of
| 1870, it will be seen that in 1868 the ship
meuts were some IS, OCO, 600 in excess Of
this year. That the reader may better
compare this years movement with those
OF preceding years we append an exhibit
of the net exports-the imports being de-
| ducted-for he last nine years:
