Sale of Racing stock,

Mai. George I. Altman, of Giles county,
in order to reduce the number of his thor
oughbreds and to increase his trotting stock,
has recently disposed of several somewhat
famous animals. The Major greatly prefers
the thoroughbred over the trotting stock,
but owing to the great demand for the latter,
and the trouble he has experienced in pro-
curing competent and reliable trainers, rub
bers and riders to go to the country, he has
been inducedtopa part with stock that he priced
highly. Evadne, perfect in form, and one
of the most faShiOnably bred mares in
America, by Lexington, first dam V olga,
sister to Vandal, by imported Glencoe, and
Tallulah, winner of the two year old agreed
stake on the last day of our fall meeting, by
the famous Planet, one of the best cam
paigners of his day, first dam Mazurka, by
Lexington, have passed into the hands OF
Gen. Harding, and we congratulate him
mon the valuable accession to his already
famous stud of thoroughbred horses. Maj
Altman also sold his beautiful bay FLY Van
daIet by Planet, first dam Vandalia by Van
dial. to George Cadwallader, of Kentucky
Should she not get amiss, we predict for her
a proud record. We understand that Maj
Altman in addition to his thOroughbreds has
trntters of the most fashionable breeds
Mambrino Chiefs, HambletOnians, Abdal
labs etc.

THE LATE r.. II. KIRKPATRICK
Resolutions Of Respect.

A called meeting of the Board of Trade
was held yesterday evening to take actlon
in regard to the death of Robert I. Kirk
patrick.
The President, f. H. French in calling
the meeting to order, in few remarks eu-
logized the virtues of the deceased, and an
nounced that it would be appropriate to
appoint a committee to draft suitable reso-
buttons.
G. w. Cunningham moved the appoint
ment of committee, which was carried,
and the chair appointed G. w. Cunningham,
A. C. Roberts, c. A. r. Thompson, A. c.
Beech. W. N. Cooke, and John NJ. Bass
said committee, who reported the following
resolutions, which were adopted:
Whereas, This Board has just received
the sad intelligence of the death Of one OF
its most Jealous members, the late K. L.
Kirkpatrick, esteemed by us all for his in
tegrity as merchant, his usefulness as a
citizen and his personal worth as man; be
it therefore
Resolved, That while we deplOre the ir-
reparable loss which we, in common with
orr fellow merchants and fellow-cltlzens,
have sustained in his death, we shall not
he unmindful of the bright example which
his blameless life has furnished, at the same
time that we are admOnished to strive tc
emulate those virtues which rendered more
TRANQUIL the last hours of his earthly ex'
istence and won for him, we trust, an i'm
mortal crown.
Resolved, That this Board tender to hi;
bereaved family our heartfelt coincidence IN
the great bereavement which has been visit
ed upon them.
Resolved, That the members of this
Board attend in body the funeral OF ON

COME ONE, COME ALI!
OUR UTOPIANS.
Jonah Swallowing the Whale,

To the Editors of the Union and American:
1t is certainly subject of regret that our
Nashville knot of Reformers cannot endure
that wholesome criticism to which all sup
posed novelties in science or politics are
Justly amenable. Their weakness ana
sensitiveness appeal to oar pity for tender
handling of their man of straw. We are
panied by the plaintive wall OF these VIC
tins of intolerance" whose 'freedom OF Ut
terancen has been so sadly curtailed, and
whose s'rights of thought" have been re-
morselessly trampled out. But the world
is critical; and if our friends cannot face the
music, we fear they will be pushed aside,
as not being the stuff RefOrmers are made
of. Their theory seems to be that no one
possesses any rights of thought but them
selves, and that no one who opposes them
is entitled to any freedom Of speech. But
that theory will not work. They must
| learn that others have rights as well as they;
and it is a bad omen for young Liberals IN
| to begin by denOuncing the free expression
| of opinion by others.
1t would not injure the Democracy to
| endorse the theoretical truisms OF our
| friends, if the Democracy had not long
| since embodied those identical truisms in a
| continuous course of living practice. Ii
Brigham Young breaches meekness, it is
no argument that the Christian churches
should sit at his feet to learn that virtue.
A handful of self-constituted Reformers,
stealing old doctrine and inviting the De
mocraey from ocean to ocean to join them,
suggests inevitably the old metaphor OF
Jonah swallowing the whale, or the frog OF
Esop who swelled up and burst in a vain
glorious effort to devOur bull.
Candidly, gentlemen, we have had enough
of Secession, and should profit by the past
Query: Is it ''dead ISSUE" to profit from
the lessons OF the past?) In 1860 the
Democracy was the only national party II
the land, arrayed against no section and de
Tending the constitutional rights of all. AnC
such is its exact position to-day. In 1861
the Southern Democrats seeded from then
Northern allies, leaving a clear field for thu
triumph of sectional party. We wOult
deprecate repetition of this folly in 1871, i
there was any likelihood Of our people los
ing their wits. But we have no such fears
we have suffered too much to forget tn
lesson so soon. Therefore we may satel.
remit our Latter-Day Secessionists to thei
own Outopia-the region Of Nowhere.

Death Of a weil Known Merchant.

The many friends of r. T. Kirkpatrick
will regret to hear Of his death, which oc-
Cured at his residence near this city on
Wednesday last. The deceased was one OF
our most enterprising dry goods merchants,
and withal highly esteemed citizen. Up
right in all bis dealings, affable and courte-
oTs in his manners, prominently identified
with mercantile pursuits for a long period,
and foremost in everything which had a
tendency to advance the interests of Nash
vile. his death is not only shock to his
many warm and devoted personal friends,
but his loss as a public spirited and enter
prising citizen will be severely felt: Mr.
kirkpatrick had but recently formed co
partnership with Irby Morgan and James
| Thomas, and intendedat an early day to EN-
bark the wholesale dry goods business. The
funeral of the deceased takes place to-day
at his late residence in the western suburb;
| of the CITY.

4 Discrepancy Explained.

The discrepancy in the reports OF the
Comptroller and Treasurer, to which atten-
ton was called in the Treasurers report,
is caused by the Comptroller taking up and
Charging to thcpresent Treasureran amount
OF funds which WIS in the haHds of the pre-
ce ling Treasurer, J. f. Rust, on the LIST OF
June, 1870, hut not turned over by him to
The present Treasurer, who, rs a matter of
course, did not charge himself with funds
which never came into his hands. When
thus Rust'S balance is credited to the pres
ent Treasurer, his report and the Comptrol-
leF's will AGREE to a cent.

A Well i'm a Hotel.

The Maxwell, known so far and favOrably
FIR its splendid arrangements, elegant apart
nents, and successfully stylish government,
vas. on yesterday evening, the cause OF a
lridicrous mistake by not overly seasoned,
Tut rather green countryman, who, while
walking through its palatial court, abstrac-
tndly gazing everywhere, suddenly halted by
the side of the fountain in front of the bar.
Cautiously, wonderingly he peered into the
basin of tie fountain; and then, drawing
himself ND at full length, exclaimed: "Thun-
der and peanuts, if here amt well in the
middle of house, Did you ever see the
like If is a wonder it don't cave in"

THE selling of investment securities by insurance

recovery from the lowest point Of the day. The

ment intended to make an extra. purchase Of
bonds this week. Stock market excited, and
nrices in some instances declined per cent,
owing to reports circulated that at least four
banks had suspended and that a riot had com

reports succeeded in producing q panic. The
Times says there was great pressure TO sell, and
dealings were enormous while the excitement
was equal to anything every witnessed on Stock
