the Union stood when the Senate was

the n, right that President Grant
now claims for his household.

is the only way in which the State could
be made popuious and wealthy. Five
millions of dollars judiciously expended
in building maeadamizcd roads and
turnpikes throughout the State, would
double the population and quadruple
the taxes in the counties where these
roads are now so much needed, IN ten
years,
The Republican party controlled
the legislation OF the counties compos-
ing the State for the last ten years, with
closed eyes and cleuchcd fists against
the petitions of the people, praying for
a liberal system of internal improve
ments. The denial of SO wise and nee
essary a measure, in which the future
growth and prosperity of the State,
so much depended, drove many of
our hest citizens to other States, where
liberal laws and an enlightened State
policy checkered the country with good
roads, and placed wealth and capital
within the reach of honest industry.
This positive State evil should be cor.
rected, and steps at once taken to place
the whole State upon the rapid march
Of substantial improvement. There
ire too many defects in our present
Constitution for legislative amendment;
the mode is too Sou, and the people are
Unrilling TO tcsit.
Sui am now sure a Convention
will be called, and my belief is, that
the members who will compose
that body will so revise and
reform our State Constitution, as
that it will command the approval Of
the good men of all parties, who have
the true interests of our young State
at heart. Most Respectfully,
WV. K. ARNOLD.

few days since q woman with her in
FAINT child arrived here from q distant
county in Tennessee for the purpose of ap-
plying to the Governor for the pardon of
her husband, a convict in the Penitentary
Her petition bore the signatures of the jury
by whom her husband had been convicted,
as well as that of the judge and other off
GERS OF the court. Being in a penniIess
and friendless condition, without even an
acquaintance IN the city, the devoted wife
and distressed woman applied to the city
authorities for permission to stay at the
Workhouse until she would accomplish the
task she had imposed upon herself This
was granted, and she was furnished in
the best accommodations that institution
could afford The pardon for which she
came and asked was yesterday issued, and
the released husband, faithful wife and in
nocent babe started for their humble home
in another part of the State May the
shadows Of crime and sorrow come never
more to darken the abods of that trCe and
faithful woman, and the purity which is
akin to divinity be forever about her path
way through life.

Johm Robimson,s GreaI Show

In appointments, appliances aud equip
ments, the great combination show of John
Robinson, making its appearance here yes
terday, was the most complete by far that
has ever been witnessed IN this locality.
The show is all and more than has been
claimed for it by its advertisements, and
the large crowds present in the afternoon
and evening gave the fullest Indications of
public appreciation. The collection of
animals is the largest and most wonderful
ever exhibited here, containing representa-
tives from all climes and countries-from
polar SHOWS of the North and burning
wild5 of the South.
The sea hoLs, some four or five, and the
first ever seen in this part Of the country,
attracted a great deal of attention, while
the great seal and African snakes in the
same department, were objects Of peculiar
attraction. In the ring the equestrian and
acrObatic performances excited universal
wonder and admiration. The great four
horse act of Mr.. Robert Stickney was full
of precision and daring, and received the
unqualified admiration of the thousands
who witnessed it. The same may be said
of what was accomplished by Minnie
Marks, the beautiful little girl performer.
The Jokes of John Lowlow, and his asso-
ciates in fun, we're timely and in keepi g
with good taste. Discipline and good or
der were strictly observed throughout the
performances. Two more exhibitions are
TO be given-this afternoon and tonight.

UNPARALLELE ED HEARTLEsS-
NESS.
- Let Her Die, The Demon of
Drink.

- Let Her Die - - Ihe Demon OF
Drink.
We heard of a circumstance Yesterday
which il all Of its details is almost too
monstrous for human credulity, and which
almost sickeas the soul at the contempls-
ton of such insensste callousness. We are
thankful that such exhibitions Of heartless-
ness are few and far between in our goodly
city and community.
There lives in North Nashville, in the vi
cinity Of the cotton factory, an individual
who shall be nsmeless, but who has SO
deadened and stultitied every feeling and
generous emotion animating the human
bosom that he is but few removes above
he level of the brute, as evidences abun-
dainty testify. He was the husband of
once hopeful and confding wife, and is the
father Of four youpg children. The wife
has for some time been Ill and an
invalid. The husband came to the city
and got on an accustomed frolic, leaving
MS sick wife in helpless condition and
his children uncared and unprovlded for.
Tuesday morning the wife die. The child
rem were without food and their only pro-
tector 2 lifeless corpse. Some kindly
neigh0ors came in and provided for the
immediate wants Of the suffering little
ones. Tbey also prepared grave habili-
ments and had the wife decently inferred.
After day had passed tho husband was
found, brutifsd by liquor, aid was told
that his wife was dead LET her die,
was the inhuman remark accompanied
with an oath. Afterward he was Induced
to 90 to the berett abode. Whsn left to
his sober reflections we trust that the
sad surroundings will exercise sanitary
influence upon him. They are certainly
sufficiently sad to melt heart of flint to
pity. We have given the details as related
to us and in no spiIit of exaggerstion.

Mechanics and Manufacturer,
Meeting.

Meeting.
This important organization met at the
Directors room of the old Bank of Ten
nessee last night, President William
Stockell in the chair.
The President stated that the object of
the meeting was TO appoint delegates to
the Cincinnati Exposition, aud he thought
that there were some members who in
tended going, and suggested that they be
furnished with certificates as delegates of
the Association. Mr. Thomas Brennan
suggested that any member of the Associ-
alton who could conveniently attend the
Exposition, bs authorizedto do so as del
egated representative. He offered the fol-
lowing resolution:
Resolved, That the President of the
Mechanics and Manufacturers Associa-
ton be authorized to give to
any of its members who can attend the
Cincinnati Exposition a certificate to be
presented to the Board of Managers of
that Exposition, that will give them the
facilities to obtain all the information they
can procure in order to further the inter
ests of the Nashville Exposition, to be held
II our city in May, 1872. The resolution
was unanimously adopted 4 letter was
read from MIR. Samuel Watson rendering
the use Of the Directors room of the old
Bank for purposes OF meeting of the Asso-
citation. The letter was received and
filed, and a note of thanks was
rendered to Mr. Watson for his
muniicent and kindly offer. Mr.. Brennan
offered some practical remarks upon the
Importance Of having unity and accord be-
tween the mechanics and manufacturers.
He wanted every man who could shove a
plane or lift hammer, as well IS the boss
mechanics, interested, for between them
there could be no antagonism. He wanted
the best means resorted to that would
bring ell the laboring men together at the
men together at the meetings and become
interested.
Capt Stockeli said that it was well IN
derstood that this was a Mechanics and
Manufacturers Association, ard sill
mechanics Kavs equal rights and
privileges. He WIS sorry that the
mechanics took no livslier interest. He
hoped that all the boss mechanics, etc.;
would urge their hands to come in regular
attendance. He desired to have as much
general information and interest diffused
as possible. After some general remarks
touching upon the interests of the Associa.
ton, the meeting adjourned till the next
regular meeting.
