America !! thy triu,nph here,

America thy triumph here,
Though blOOdless, and without n tear,
Il far more broad in moral slope.
For Liberty again takes hope.
The Democratic standards rent
By.fSe,ion long. and discomfort,
Now daily with victorious breeze
Aud bring the country hope aud peace.
The traiiorOus band who ruled the state
At Democratic hands their fate
At last have met. and now lies dead,
With all its sins upon its head.
Though hayunets rsorred mp their cause
Of central power. and harbarous laws,
The people rose. and blow on blow
Soon laid the petty tyrauts low.
Though Butler sTuirni and Brownlos curse
Their party sinks from bad to worse
Another year-another stroke
Shall free the country from their yoke.
As winds fore.eil the coming storm,
So our predictions We may form.
And this N"w-Year scarce he complete
Before we witness their defeat.

ENTERTAINMENTS.
Society here is preparing itself for winter
amusements. Several ladies and gentlemen
are banded together for the purpose Of Civ
ing a series of dramatic entertainments
during the winter. A handsome young
friend, who is to act the prince, says "The
estimable sOciate laureate, J. F., has agreed
to furnish green lights of superior pattern
for the stage the lights will be made from
the tincture of jealousy" A few drops of this
would be beneficial as an Alternative for one
of the editors of the Tobacco Leaf, the ar
ticle Of which in reference to the committee
who invested the public printing, exOnerat-
ing Jones, Purvis & Co. from having done
''any intentional wrongs" is one of ''the
thing" which egOtistic fancy or pitiably vain
ambition sometimes produces and tries to
vest such an abOminable abortion of fact
and reason with the character of common
sense. One who undertakes the discussion
of a subject of which he knows
but little, should remember the
advice of Nine. de Genlis, sizes
jeux de hasard quelque mediocres qu'ils
paraissent, sOut tOujOurs cheers ct danger
eux." The subject of printing is certainly
novel to the supposed author of the piece
referred to, and a proper or satisfactory ar
tIcle on it would be rather the result of
chance than true knowledge from him.
For his own benefit we offer the consOla-
ton of noted man, which is that "Il est
plus aise d'etre sage pour les autres que
pour sOi-memf," it is easier to be wise for
another than for ones self.

Japs ON their winding Way.

The "ROyal Japanese1 show people, who
came here with tremendous flourish of
trlmpets few days ago, have folded up
their tents, cues, and various other things,
and gone somewhere else. Their show
don't amount to much but the novelty of
the thing, together with the erroneous i'm
preston of the public that it was the same
troupe who took the town by storm few
years ago, was sufficient to give them good
houses. Under a discreet and enterprising
management, they might be able to get up
very fair and profitable entertainments.
But there's no use in talking now; the Japs
have shaken the town-or rather, its dust
from their feet. Goodbye, Japs, and may
joy go with you all-with the trifing excep-
ton ofthe boss of the concern, whose nam e
is SChuman or Shoe Fly.

The Williamson County Farmers

met yesterday at Franklin and took steps
to organize a farmers club, the farmers be
inc there from all points in the county.
Maj. J. E. Tulloss was called to preside,a nd
VIM. Payne. Esq, to act as Secretary. The
Chairman invited Col. ]. B. Killebrew, of
the UNION AND AMERICAN, to explain the
objects of the meeting, the advantages Of
organizing, and the objects to be aimed at
in such clubs, after which he gave general
hints and views bearing upon the subjects
of farming, all of which was done in a clear
and impressive style, his suggestions and
sentiments being well received and atten-
lively listened to by his deeply interested
audience. His remarks seemed to meet
with a response from almost every one pres
ent, and we hope good will result
to the entire people of the county from
the speech and the proceedings of the day.
After the close of the speech of Col. K,
the Rev. n. W. MOtheren responded to 4
call in a few well-timed and fOrcible re-
marks, urging the farmers to organize, and
put all their forces into GctiOn-dCtiOR for
the advancement of the farming interests.
Some remarks were made by others, and
then some fifty persons gave their names to
form a club.
Gavock, J. B. Hill, j. P. johnson, Rev. n.
W. MothereI, and DR.. A. R. PinkstOn, were
appointed a committee to prepare and re-
port a constitution, which report was receiv-
ed and cOnCuTred in.
The ballot for permanent officers of the
Club resulted in the choice Of the following
gentlemen: Rev. n. W. MOtherell, Presi-
dent; John McGavOck and J. P. Johnson,
Vice-Presidents; VIM. House, Secretary
and Librarian; Burke Bond, Treasurer.
The first Monday in each month was fixed
upon for the regular meetings of the club;
and the subject for discussion at the De
cember meeting was selected-"The q1teS-
ton Of labor-its employment and manage
ment."
The Club passed a unanimous vote Of
thanks to Col Killebrew for his excellent
remarks, suggestions ard aid during the
day.
We can but regard the work as most au-
spiciously begun, and judging from the in
terest manifested, and the way in which
they all 90 to work we anticipate the best
possible results; and we congratulate the
county on the doings of yesterday.

Nuuisnatics.

Having heard several persons make in
CURRY about the coins presented by the Ten
nessee Historical Society to the State Libra
~, and to correct the impression that they
have been carried off by Federal soldiers,
we would state that they were placed by
Mr.. Nelson for safe keeping in the hands of
Mrs. Polk, who some cine since returned
them to the Library, where they may now
be seen. There are some rare coins among
the collection, numbering about two hun
dred and fifty, and being of brass, copper,
nickel, silver and gold. Among them is a
six-pence made in America in 1862, which
was the first coinage said to have been done
in North America, and a silver coin Of Alex
ander the Great, over 1000 years old, and
found i'll Pompeii. The collection is worth
an examination,

THE COMPTROLLER,s REPORT.

We are sorry to see disposition on the
part of some members of the Legislature to
criticise and harrasS Col. Z. r. Pennebaker.
The collector of privilege taxes for Shelby
county undertook to show discrepancy of
$4,000 between the amounts he had paid
TO Col. Pennebaker and his report to the
Legislature. Col. Pennebaker asked a COM
mittee to Investigate the charge, and it re-
suited in his complete vindicatiOn. The
whole trouble was that Col. Pennebaker re-
ported so much money received from the
collector of privilege taxes instead of receiv-
ed from Shelby county, but as Shelby is the
only county that has such an officer, it was
easily understood that the credit belonged
to that county, and so far from not giving
the State credit for so much money as
the Shelby county privilege tax collector
claimed that he had paid, he had actually
given credit for S95 more than the collector
claimed in his card published in the Mem
phis paper. So much for this 'tempest in a
teapot"
Col. Pennebaker is an honest, upright,
good man, and an efficient officer, and so
far from being denounced for the little Omis-
sion of the name of the collector, we think
he is entitled to credit for the able and i'm
partial manner in which he has discharged
the onerous duties of his office. There is
more hard work, and poorer pay for it, in
this department than in any other in the
State, and the only wonder is that it has
been done so well by those who have filled
it. 1t should have at least double the cler-
zeal force that it now has.-GGlldtin En-

A Question of Providence and Equity.

A Question of Providence and Equity.
CHICAGO, Nov. ia meeting Of grain
receivers who have lost grain, by being
burned in the cars and elevators prior to de-
livery to consignees, was held yesterday
evening. The chairman of the meeting an
nounced that he had called upon the author
tiles of the Northwestern and Illinois Cen
trail Railroads, and in answer to his inquiry,
said they should refuse to pay for grain in
their hands, since the loss was by the act of
God. The cOnsignees held that there was
no delivery until they had received and paid
the freight bills. A committee was APP
pointed to draw up paper to be signed by
all who wanted to prosecute the roads. 1t
was generally understood that the roads
would agree to a test case.
