address presented him on the occasion of

The Emperoriexpresses thanks to the Diet
for the sentiments declared ia the address;
q fervent hope for the peace and pros
perity of the new Empire; though there
is now some prospect that the severe
into which Germany was forced
will soon be finished, it can as yet only

Clayton still Afraid of Rebels


MEMPHIS, Feb. Am Avalanche
Little Rock special says the Senate killed
the bill postponing the collection of taxes
yesterday by thirteen to ten, which bears
heavily on the people of the State. From
the tenor of the House proceedings it is
evident that the Clayton party will sur
round the removal of political disabilities
with so many conditions that no practical
relief will be given.
MEMPHIS, Feb. 1.-The Avalanche
Little Rock special tonight says that du-
ring the session of the Senate to-day
Lieut.. Gov. johnson received q letter an
nouncing the death of a member of his
family. He was SO overpowered that he
swooned away. The greatest excitement
prevailed until his recovery and en- ex-
PLANTATION of the cause. The Senate then
adjourned as mark of respect.
Who Shall Succeed Gov, Clayton
Judge Bowen, friend of Clayton. has
been telling around among the Conserva-
tive members that unless they go for the
bill passed by the Senate to GUST the
Lieutenant Governor, Clayton will not
accept the position of United States SeRa-
tor, but he has not been able to intimi-
date any one. The Opposition to the
Administration are now masters the situa-
ton, and 1t is now matter of indiffer-
ence whether Clayton accepts or not.

The GreaF Bank Robbery.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 4.-Murphy, one
of the watchmen Of the Kingston Bank
has been suspended on account of dis
obeying orders not to admit any person
after the closing of the bank. The reason
the neighbors were not alarmed at the
hammering of the burglars, was that one
of the watchmen is a sort of shoemaker
and has been accustomed to bringing in
his bench ana working at night. When
the people heard the hammering they
thought it was the shoemaker.

AHandsOuie sum.

The net receipts of the lecture Of Rev.
DR.. Kelly, recently delivered az McKen-
dree church for the benefit of the Protest
ant Orphan Asylum, amounted to the
handsome sum of 1894. This, together
with many similar Transactions, speak
louder than mere words for the Christian
and unbOunded liberality and charity of
the citizens of Nashville. 1t is asserted,
ard we believe truthfully, that there is no
city in the United States whose citizens,
in proportion to their number, give as
much to the cause of charity as do the
citizens of Nashville.

Efforts made for some time past to re-

committee meeting has been called for the
purpose of forming new and general

This action is quickened by fears en-
tertained that the Democrats will carry
some reactionaTy legislation, caR for a
Constitutional Convention to re-district
the State and do other things to fasten
their rule upon Missouri The State
Senate would be check upon any such
designs, if the Republicans united, there
being twenty Republicans to fourteen
Democrats. Some anxiety is felt as to
the Gratz Brown wing standing by COM

Clay county, is stated to have introduced
the bill providing for the election of a
constitutional Convention.
