In the Tennessee Tribune Of Monday
morning there appeared an editorial IN
which, among other things, ex-Goy. Nell
S. Brown was charged with uttering a viii
full falsehocd in his speech introducing SEN
ator Schurz at the capitol. The facts OF
the subsequent. difficulties, as we are irfs
formed, are that a son of ex-Gov. Brown
made inquiry at the yoffice of the
Tribune Monday afternoon for the
author Of the article, for the purpose
of resenting the insult 60 his father, and
was informed that it would be furnished
yesterday morning. Before dinner yester-
day it was authoritatively stated that Col.
Prosser, Postmaster, was the author OF the
offensive article. Neil S. Brown, j., seeing
Col. Prosser come up Cherry street from
the direction Of the Post-ofice, and 60 into
the office of Mr.. Classic, attorney, Mr:
Brown followed into the Office, and
accosted Col. Prosser, by asking him
If ne was theauthor Of the article.
Col. Prosser said he was. Brown then
denounced him in the severest language,
which was not resented. Third persons
interviewed and Col. Prosser returned to the
Postofice.
A short time after this Col. Prosser was
standing at the corner of Cherry and Dead
erick conversing with Judge Carey, when
J. Trimble Brown, another son Of Ex-Gov.
Brown approached him and asked him if be
was the author of the editorial in the
Tribune. Upon Col. Prosser answering
in the affirmative, young Mr.. Brown struck
him severe blow with a stick, telling him
OF nearly so in Deaderick Street. Col.
Prosser retired into Ryan's cigar store and
from thence to the Post Office. We also
hear of friends of the parties intervening,
and pistols being drawn or attempted to be
drawn, but our information in this respect
is too conflicting to warrant us In making a
statement.

To he or Not TO BE ?

That is at present the absorbing question
relating to our Market House system. 1t
involves either the continued existence in
its present form of the Market House sys-
tenn, or its early abandonment in the hope
of substituting in its stead some more con-
venient and available means of accomplish
ing the purposes for which the existing sys-
tenn was designed. The new City Council
will prebably settle the question at an early
day, by appropriating money to repair the
old market place, or voting the institution
out of existence. To rebuild or repair the
structure, so as to make it tenable,
might be done without any very disastrous
consequences to the financial condition of
the city, or very seriously discommoding or
troubling any class of our fellow-citizens.
To declare it an unnecessary institution. if
not public nuisance, and order that il be
swept out of existence, would not necessa-
rily result in any very great public Attic
ton. What now seems absolutely neces-
sary is. that one or the other alternatives
mentioned, or some other better plan, be
Immediately resorted to. Something must
be done, and those familiar with the circum
stances of the case fully appreciate the ur-
gent necessity for an immediate change OF
some sort.

The state Library.

Mr.. John N. Genin, of New York, has
presented the State Library with very in.
teresting volume, entitled selections from
the writings of Thos. II. Genin, with Bio
graphical Sketch" A picture of the mem
bers of the Constitutional Convention, with
Gov. Brown in the centre, has also been
presented, by Mr.. A. Larcombe, the Artist,
40 Union street. Several law books have
been returned, and we are requested by the
Librarian to say that all who
have taken books from the State
Library OF may have any in their possession
viii confer great favor by returning them
at the earliest opportunity. These books
belong to the State, and it is wrong for in
dividuals to retain them in their private
libraries. Many books have now been alb
sent for ten years or more, and it is hoped
all such may be not the case with those ia
ken out since the present incumbent as
sumed the duties of Librarian. Yesterday
the first and second volumes of Meig's Di-
gest was returned, with note stating they
had been out of the library more than tif-
teen years. Let all be honest and return
the public books to the State Library.

A blast from Memphis.

Our neighboring village of Nashville may
have the power of putting forth an appear
ance Of large-heartedness once in century,
perhaps; but during the long interval she
is busily engaged in contracting her little
humps Of thoractic murch to the diminutive
dimensions Of peanut. Illustrative of
this we may mention the fact that a fire
engine attempted to cross the suspension
bridge there few nights ago to put out a
fire in the suburb Of Edgefeld, but the
keeper of the bridge would not permit the
machine to cross over without paying
Memphis appeal, Oct. l6.
Keep cool, friends. We expect to have a
free bridge shortly, huge bonfire in honor
Of the completion of the enterprise, and a
peanut lunch for all visitors. We will invite
you up, and not charge cent to cross over
and see the show.

Fire.

The frame house, No. 329 South Market
street, owned by Mr.. F. Thema and occu-
pied by Mrs. Mary White, was discovered
on fire yesterday morning at half-past II.
The alarm was quickly sounded and the
building saved, not however, until the inside
was considerably injured, and necessarily
damaged by the water from the engines.
Most of the household furniture and
goods, with the exception Of some articles
of personal apparel, were saved and
placed in the house Of Mrs. Caty, who lives
next door. At the time of the fire, Mrs.
White, the occupant, was absent up town,
and the house locked up; the door was
burst open by Mr.. James L. Leak, who
rushed in and saved much that would have
been lost. The fire originated in the
kitchen it is thought from defective f1ue.
The firemen worked faithfully, and rendered
most efficient service.

The Old Theater-The Opening Night.


With commendable energy and excellent
taste, such as is canopied forth in its more
perfected type of art, the Old Theater has
been enrobed in a brilliant and appropriate
dress. No act of internal improvement
was ever displayed in better light and more
appreciative perfection than that which gave
beauty of art and brilliance of science en-
bellishment to the inside of the Old Thea
ter. The seats have been repaired and cush-
toned in bright and comfortable colors; new
flooring has been placed wherever needed !;
the pit floor is new, while the decorations
around the breast of the pit are
neatly and richly, though not gaudily paint
ed and embossed with guilt. The private
boxes present an appearance Of coy luIxuri-
ance that will attract the acquaintance of
many; they have been refurnished, papered
and tapestried in the latest style and COM
mand full unobstructed view of the stage,
which has been improved also by the addi-
ton of much new scenery of every variety
landscapes, views from sleeping dales and
city scenes-towering houses and solid
prison-walls-all admirably adapted to the
plays which Mr.. Grey will intro
duce with a strong and shining
troupe to our public, commencing on
this evening, at which time will be pre-
scented one of the most brilliant and inter-
esting domestic plays known to the modern
drama. There is no cause why the drama
should not be supported in Nashville, and
certainly no plausible cause that we should
not encourage its more chaste and moral
phases which have ever had a refining ten
dency and ennobling influence upon those
communities where 'stars" have risen to
the zenith of the profession. Many have
prejudices against its patronage who really
know not its nature, and hence too often
without cause, though not without pretext
abuse its character. Mr.. Turk, business
manager and treasurer of the Grey ORA
matte Company, was the originator and
most instrumental in having the Old Thea
tire repaired and arrayed in its present new
suit of luxuriant style. He knows how to
render old things new, and the handsome
improvement in the building is creditable to
his taste and good judgment.
We hope the Old Theatre will be crowded
during the season, so as TO enable its mana
ger to defray the expenses incurred in re-
pairing the building. Mr.. Grey desires that
the citizens come forward and take up the
subscription tickets as early as possible. To
night will be acted 'The Serious Family"
and tsThe Country Cousin"

watch Thief I'm Limbo.

A few days since somebody stole fine
watch and chain from Sampson Keeble, pro-
prietor of the Harding House. Keeble
called on Watson & Ryan, detective police
men, for the purpose, if possible, of having
the property recovered and the thief arrest
ed. The investigation made by them soon
pointed to George Williams, colored porter
at the Harding House until few weeks
ago, as the guilty party He was arrested i
yesterday morning the watch and chain
were found at a store, where Williams had
left them on deposit or in the way of trade.
The accused was last evening arraigned be-
fore Justice Cassety, and after afull hearing
of the testimony was required TO give bail
in Che sum Of 81 900 for his appearance at
the Criminal Court, or 60 to jail. At last
accounts, Williams and bis friends were try
ing to obtain security.

Executive Appeintment.

The Governor yesterday telegraphed to
the distinguished actuary, D. P. Fackler,
of New York, his appointment to represent
the State of Tennessee in the Insurance
Convention TO be held in that city this day.
Whether we consider the great interest to
be discussed in that body, or the need to
have our State worthily represented, it is
matter generalization that a gentleman offs such
exalted position in the insurance world, and
Of such high personal character, should
have been selected by the Governor, and
we are sure no man in that convention
win exert greater, more conservative, and
salutary influence than David Parkes Fack-
