New LOCATION OF CONSCIENCE
Doolittle, in explaining how he was con,
soled for the numerous attacks upon him
for his political apostacy, raised his right
hand significantly towards heaven, and
placing his left hand suggestively about
half way between his heart and his capac
ious stomach, and with an appealing ex-
preston upon his benign countenance
which an Italian beggar might envy and
which he could study with profit, ex-
claimed pathetIcally, that it was his
conscience which sustained him through
good and evil report" We therefore
conclude, from the suggestive position of
MS left hand, that his conscience lies
half way between his heart and his
belly; which will probably fully account
for his continually bobbing for gudgeons
On both sides of the line-RGcine Ad-
U0cGt6.
AS was to be expected, the new de-
parture has found new location for con.
conscience and Doollttle is the fortunate
man who has found it. Hereafter Mr.
Doolittle will DE as conspicuous for scien
tltic discovery as he is now for political
honesty.

A CORPSE IN A TRUNK.

LESBY. WALTER CONKLIN. ALICE
BowAEsBY's FUNERAL.

Some ten days ago a trunk, taken to
thoroughfare in New York by woman
was found TO contain q corpse. The corpse
was traced to DR.. Rosenwcig's and wa
proved to be the body Of Alice Bowles
by, who came to her death by metro per
itonltis caused by abortion procured by
DR.. Rosenweig. Dr. Rosenweig was ar
rested, held to trial for murder and was
committed to prison. Some members OF
his family were also arrested. Alice
Bowlesby had gone to DR.. Rosenweig's
without the knowledge Of her mother OF
any of her sisters and without any sus-
plc;on of her condition. Alice had gone
away from home to make visit and
when the first report of the corpse in the
trunk reached her mother and sisters they
not only had no suspicion that it was the
corpse of Alice, but they had no doubt
but that Alice was living and welN
1t was known that young man by the
name Of Walter Conklin had been init
mate with Alice Bowlesby, and he was
thought of as the one who had probably
been the means of bringing her to an IN.
timely end. One day after being to
work and attending to the duties of his
position during the fore part of the day
he was found dead, having committed
suicide. A paper was found in his peck
ct on which he had written that he
would rather be dead than to be called
upon to testify in the Gaze of Alice Bow
lesby.
For an account Of the funeral of Alice
Bowlesby we are indebted to the follow.

Verdict for R7,OOO.

The damage suit of Rachel Hitchcock
vs.. Andrew Harding, details of which have
heretofore been furnished, has been the
principal feature Of interest in the Circuit
Court during the present week. The
larger part Of the week, indeed, has been

created great deal of interest. There
were number of witnesses pro and con
and among the ablest attorneys of the
Nashville bar were engaged as counsel
The evidence was quite voluminous, and
the arguments were learned and exhaust
i've. The arguments were concluded on
Thursday and the case submitted to the
court. The court yesterday gave a de-
cisiOn in the case, awarding damages 70
the plaintiff, Rachel Hitchcock, to the
amount of $1,000. The decision was
looked for with very much interest, and

was rendered. We understand that q mo
ton for q new trial will be made, the result
of which remains to be seen. In case Of
the overruling of such q motion, in ths

able that an appeal 10 the Supreme Court

Six Polish members abstained from voting.
The address was opposed by the Catholic

principle that Germany should intervene
with The Italian Government in the af-

tirely Passive, bnt will Maintain

LONDON, March 31.-A newspaper cor
with Bismarck, in which the state of
affairs in Paris was discussed. After
courteous reception and some preliminary
conversation, during which the Prince ex-
pressed his appreciation of the good sense
and consistency displayed by the people
and the Government of the United States
during the war, he proceeded fully to
give his views on the situation and TO de-
fire the position that Germany takes in
the domestic difficulties of France, which
was in substance that he denied that Ger
many had sent q message to the Reds
declaring she would not interfere, but
would maintain friendly relations, and
adds that there is mistaken idea pre-
vailing in England with regard to the po-
sitiOn of Germany towards the rioters in
Paris, in consequence of wrong trans
lation of the letter of Gen. Schlotein.
The Journal Oficiel said that so long ss
the Germans were not interfered with, a
''psssive" attitude would be observed.
This was made to read "frlendly" atIi-
tude, very different thing. There have
only been three kilograms sent from Ger
mans relating to the riots, and two Of
them were simply of a military
character. One of these, my own,
addressed 20 Favre was also msinterpre
ted. In short Germany will never inter-
fere with the internal affairs of France
but all parties must respect and observe
the peace stipulations to the letter, and if
in order to do this the legitimate French
Government appeals for aid Germany
will probably extend it to certain de-
gree. The Germans will also aid the
Government of France to enforce law
and order by relaxing the strict regula-
lions of the peace preliminaries. Furth-
er than this Germany will be passive
Germany will afford facilities
for the concentration of Govern
ment troops and if necessary,
give Theirs assistance in suppressing the
Commune in PARIS. He declares the
regular government is the only one COM
petent to assure Germany of payment of
the promised indemnity, and hence he
means to maintain it. He recognizes the
Reds as simple rioters, and says so soon
as the insurgents trangress the terms of
the conventions concluded with the legiti-
mate government of France, the Germans
will treat them as rioters and disperse
them by force of arms But so long as
they do not transgress the regulations,
they will be let alone

THE STATES OFFER.
The circular addressed to the Stockhold-
ers by President Oonnen detailing the
proposition made by the Attorneys for the
State to allow the Edgefeld and Kentucky
Railroad Company to buy the mort
gage of the State upon the road fc1
81, 900, 900 in bonds of the State
was then read. The circular states that
the mortg,g debt now claimed by the
State on the road Is $2,OSi, ,179.71. By
accepting the proposition, we reduce the
mortgage debt CT the company $1,0S1,-
I79. 81; and, in order to get the 81, 900, 900
of bonds with which to pay the State, it is
proposed to get the direction of the stock
holders to issue the bonds of the company,
8, cured by 8 mortgage on the road, and
either exchange those bonds for State
bonds, or sell them and buy State bonds
with the proceeds.
State bonds are now selling at 63s for
face and coupons; but, as under the ar
rangement proposed, the bonds which we
have to pay in will only carry the coupon
due Jan. 1, 1871, they can be bought at 80
cents. In this way, 1t will take but $500,
600 in currency to pay off the whole State
lien.
We have what is equivalent to at least
forty miles of road bed, besides rolling
stock and equipments. We think there
could be no difficulty in making a mort
gage at $25, 900 per mile, which would
give 81 ,O00 900 of company bonds. These
bonds could be sold for at least 20 cents on
the dollar, and would raise a fund of
800. 900 in cash. With this we can pay
the $52 200 for the State bonds, and have
$3.50. 900 for contingencies
The State debt would then all be paid
and the total bonded debt of the company
would be only 81, 900, 900. The new bonds
would have twenty or thirty years to run,
thus extending the debt for that length of
time; and with that reduced Indebtedness,
the stock of individuals and the county of
Davidson would be increased in value un-
til it would reach par in the next three
years. Instead of letting the road be put
on the market and sold to foreign capital
lists or rival lines, have thought it better

ton will be laid before them.
The question whether action should be
taken on this proposition made by the
the attorneys for the State, was discussed
at some length. President Connell said
that he had consulted with some legal gen.
tlemen, in regard to the question whether
the stockholders would be individually
liable in case the offer of the State wss
accepted, and he expected some of these
legal gentlemen to be present and give
their opinion.
None of the legal gentlemen referred to
appeared.
