Plea of Mental arrangement.

An account of the shooting of Frank T.
Baltishwiter by John Bruner, of Church
street, appeared in yesterdays paper. Mr..
Bruner still remains imprisoned at the
workhouse, but his attorneys, Messrs. Dodd
and Ferris, will probably to-day make an
effort to have him released on bail. 1t is
claimed by his friends that he is crazy, and
has been so for some time in consequence
of domestic troubles, involving separation
from his wife, and the application of the
latter for divorce. Believing that such is
the case, the wounded man, we learn, is
not disposed to prosecute Mr.. Brner, and
has for this reason Withdrawn an applica-
ton made at the office of Justice Wherry
for warrant against the basket-maker for
shooting with intent to kill. Such is the
present appearance of the case.

on hand. The meeting then took a racass
of ten minutes so as to allow an ounoTfnf.l-
ty for receiving initiation fees. Affar -
stunning order, Prof. ]. E. Scobev helm,
called upon, made some remarks in relation
TO the subject of education in common and
Normal schools. He commented upon the
present system Of education in Tennessee
believing the educational systems should be
in pace with the progressive tendencies of
the age. To educate is to develop the
mind and give the pupil the power to think
and reason. Such was necessary 70 all
classes. He spoke Of the improvements
being made in textbooks, but did not think
there was so much difference in textbooks.
He thought the teacher should be text
book, understanding thoroughly what he
protested to teach and to make the pupil
reason. - %
Architecture was not needed here
years ago in the first settlement Of
the country, but IS required now, SO
the professional teacher was not
needed once, but now is necessary. The
times have changed, and greater demands
are being made in education as well as in
architecture. The times demand that there
should be professional teacher, as it de-
mands there should be a professional
lawyer.
The following teachers in addition to
those named, were present:
Messrs. z. II. Brown, Jas. s. Fail and s.
5. Woolwine; Misses Lizzie Spivey, Fanny

The Fair at jackson.

The Agricultural and Mechanical Exhibi-
ton now in progress at Jackson is the most
successful and complete affair of the kind
ever known in West Tennessee. To our
friends of the Wing and Tribune we are
indebted for a special dispatch giving an
account Of yesterdays proceedings. 1t
saws:
The weather to-day has been most pro-
pitious and at least 5000 people were pres
ent at our Fair, which may be set down as
a complete success. Col. Killebrew deliv-
cred magnificent Grafton, replete with ell
Oquent thought which was most rapturous-
ly applauded. His speech is conceded the
best ever delivered in jackson upon agri-
cultural topics and will be published at the
special request Of the Board of Directors.
Our stock rings were unusually full and
the animals on exhibition of the finest
breed and quality. Our Fair takes the rag
off the bush and our people are jubilant
over its success.

MEErING OF STEAMBoATMKN.-Pursu to a
cali made through the columns of the UNION AND
Nashville was held at the Office of Capt VIM.
On motion, Capt. j: NJ. Smith was called to the
chair, and Capt. VIM. Boyd appointed Secre-
tary.
The Chairman gave notice that the meeting
had been called for the purpose of sending del
egate to represent Hashvie's interest at the gen.
eral convention to be held at the Gait House, in
the city OF Louisville, on the 8th inst.
Capt. Ii. H. Harrison suggested that In addl-
ton to the selection of delegate, it would be ap-
propriate To select committee TO examine the
new steamboat law critically, and point out the
objections so that the delegate to be selected
could go to the convention and there state the
grievances of those in interest.
Capt. H. H. Harrison was afterwards nOmina-
ted and chosen delegate TO the convention at
Louisville, without opposition.
The Chairman then appointed committee TO
carefully examine the laws governing steamboats,,
and repOrt their objections 10 the delegate. That
committee consisted of Capts. VIM. Dix, 5. P.
Mcclure and ThOs. Harmon.
On motion of Mr.. Harper, the same committee
was authorized to raise funds necessary to defray
the expenses OF the delegate TO and from Louis
vile.
Capt. Dix remarked that the opinion prevailed
that steamboats, were perfect murderous ma
chimes and man-killers He had taken the trouble
70 make some investigation of the subject, and
could present in facts and figures the true state
of the case. During last season, there were thir-
teen boats engaged in this river, with an average
crew of 40 persons, and he was satisfied from his
investigations that there had been less loss of life
among the persons so engaged according to the
proportion, than in any other business that might
be named, and taking into consideration the
number of passengers who Travelled by water, that
there had been fewer casualties resulting in loss
of life than by any other mode of travel He
could not understand the use of the equipments
now proposed in the new law-that to carry out
said law it would require an expenditure of at
least $500 from each of the small boats owned
here to provide the additional equipments
quired. That if the Supervising Inspectors con
tinued to compel boats to use the inventions of
everything new that turned up, there would ii
naly be no room for either passengers or freight.
Capt Mcclure called attention to the useless
patents being forced upon bOatmen. He said
that upwards of S100, 900 had been spent by boat
men on the Western rivers for lte-preservers,
and he had yet to hear of one life being saved by
the use of them.
After some further remarks, the meeting ad-
iOurned.

Hart, Ryman and Barney's MinstreIs.

This famous minstrel troupe which
opened at Masonic Hall last night were
greeted with good house, and the per
fornance gave unbOunded satisfaction. The
instrumental music is excellent, while the
company can boast of several very fine
singers. J. II. Murphy is tenor of great
power, and his ballads were exquisite. Mr..
Carl Rudolph was also loudly encored in
the ballad ave met by chance" No COM
pany that has ever visited our city has had
a better singer than Mr.. Rudolph. Barney's
character changes are rich, rare and pecu-
liar, while the comicalities of the troupe
were received with enthusiastic applause.
John Hart is a genuine side splitter, and his
personation of Pompey took the house by
storm. The Ministries appear again this
evening.

A drove of Texas cattle, about forty in
number, all very large and wild, yesterday
went ever the Suspension Bridge at an al
most fearful rate of speed, it being almost
impossible to keep them in check. Their
heavy weight and irregularity of motion
were not sufficient, however, to impair the
stability of the bridge, it being still in good
condition, but without any reduction in the
rate of tolls

count and at very rapid sFeed. No very Sc
rious accident resulted from this mulish
folly, and the stampeding animals were
finally induced back to the fold from which

A young man named Joseph H. Wilson,
mailing from Henry county, Tennessee, was
recently arrested here on suspicion of hay
ing stolen horse in his possession. He
was held in custody for day or two, but
no proof appearing against him, he was re-
leased. Wilson then sold the horse to Mr..
Thomson in Edgefield, and departed. He
is now in Jail in Line county, Ky, and yes

Mr.. Thomson came here, proved his right
of possession, and had his property restored
