Angels of Mercy.

Several days ago there appeared in our
columns a notice entitled IAN object Of
charity" in which an aged couple residing
at No III South Summer street, were rep
resented as being in destitute circumstan-
ces. The representations referred to in
that notice being correct in every particu-
lar. The article in suggestion had no
sooner found its way to the many thousand
benevolent ladies' (of which Nashville
can feel q Just pride) when it found
q speedy response from many philan-
thropie and sympathetic heart, thus show
| ing oonclusively that when appeals are
made to our generous citizens in behalf OF
suffering humanity, they are not made In
vain. The recipients of so many donations
| from the fair ladies stated last evening,
their thanks while not forgetting the
UNION AND AMERICAN for giving publicity
| to the facts, and to one and all they ex-
tend their heartfelt gratitude. Most con-
spicuous among the ladies who contributed
SO much towards allevisting the sutferings
| of the unfortunate man and wife were Miss
s., a beautiful young lady of this city,
who has been untiring in her exertions TO
promote their happiness BY sending TO
their house basket after basket filled with
every deIicacy calculated to change scene
of poverty and sadness to that of comfort
and gladness. Miss Susie W, with q
heart so emblematic of purity, and Mrs.
| Andrew s., have done everything in
their power towards ameliorating the CON-
dition of the aged couple.

RAILROAD MENTION.

The principal Office of the Memphis and
Little Rock Railroad will soon be removed
to Little Rock ..-....
An accident took place few days since
on the Memphis, Olarksville and Louisville
Railroad, near the station known as Cum
berIand City. Four cars were thrown
from the track, down an embankment,
killing one man, a carpenter on the road
and seriously iDjuring three others. About
twenty passengers were slightly bruised
ane injured. The four passenger coaches
thrown from the track are complete
wreck. In a few hours the wreck was
cleared away, the track repaired, and the
road was placed in running order.
The Morristown Gazette of April 5 says
"a colored man, Sandy Wicks, brake
man on the East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia Railroad, fell between the cars OF
the down freight train near Russellville, on
Wednesday evening last, and was run over
and crushed in a terrible manner. He
was brought to this place and everything
done that could be to save his life but all
to no effect. He died in few hours. He
bore an excellent character and was con-
sidered one of the best hands on the road.
The Memphis Appeal of the 4th inst,
saws: ''The last bar of iron will be laid

Wednesday. As soon as the food sub
sides the road-bed between Memphis and
the st. Francis river will be raised to such
a hight that no future overflow will OBJ
struct the route from Memphis to Little
Rock and Fort Smith. With the energy
infused into mercantile classes, and a sys-
tenn of cooperative action and modes Of
thinking begotten by the Chamber OF
Commerce, we may confidently anticipate
a flesh infusion of vigor into the progress
and nrosperity of Memphis.

SAN DOMINGO.
The War We Are 10 Annex

NEW YORK, April Especial tele-
graph from Havana, shows that brisk
ghting has been going on in San Domin-
between the insurgent forces under
Luperon, and Cabral and the army of
Baez, in which the former were defeated
in two engagements. The loss in killed,
wounded and prisoners does not appear
TO be large. The insurgents probably
lost all their cavalry from the fact that
fourteen horses were captured in one
fight and fifteen in the other. Ten gen.
eral officers and about eight hundred men
composed the forces engaged in the first
encounter No estimate can be formed
from the result of these two battles of
the probability of peace fort future.
Gen. Valentine Perez also claimed vic
tory over the brigands on the liue of
Neyba. Cabral's friends in st. Thomas
acknowledge that he was defeated, but
say only his vanguard was beaten. The
general opinion, however, is that Baez's
forces had the advantage in all the en-
pOuntpro

r fWAsHNeToE, April 6.-The raining
and threatening weather prevailing We'd
nesdsy night on the lakes was dissipsted
with light rains during the night and fol-
lowed by brisk northwest wind and clear
ing up weather. Clear weather with oc-
casionsl cloudness has prevailed to-day
east of the Mississippi. The temperature
has risen very rapidly at several points,
but least so in the Eastern States. The
rains on the Pacific coast have closed and
brisk southwest wind now prevails
there, with clear. The pressure has fluc-
tuated over the country with q tendency
to increase in the Northern half and dimi-
nish in the Southern half.
Probabilities: There are no certain in
dications of any important change in the
weather for tomorrow. An area of low
pressure seems to be forming in the
Northwest. k

THREE or four legislators who came up
from Carson last Saturday evening drop
ped into a certain Gold Hill restaurant on
Sunday morning for breakfast. They
wanted to get something extra, done up
in Carson style, so they asked the land
lady: --
9Have you got any brains4"
'No," says she, 81 don't happen to
have any this morning"
"What! no brsins2 That's rough; we
get plenty of brains down at Carson"
"Ah, well, laughed the genial land
lady. ''you ought to have brought some
brains, along with you; am sorry you
didn't"
By this time all the other eaters in the
restaurant were in hearty roar of laugh
ter by the pslpably good hits made in this
little conversation, although none were
intended. -NevGddp paper.

There is one feature in the programme

matter of course. 1t affords every comfort,
convenience and luxury desired by the
most fastidious epicure, and at the same
time adapts itself to the comfort and con

NEW YoRK, April 6.-The Hartford
Times throws out % Republican votes in
Cheshire which the Republican papers
count and makes E1glishs' majority 80.
The Post figures his majority at IL and
the scattering vote at IA. 1t claims that
the election will 60 to the Legislature but
some there cheat votes returned as scat
tering will be counted by the canvassers.
There are not twenty scattering votes
in New Haven. Thirteen were put in
the wrong box and will not be counted at
all. The other seven are two for EDg-
lish, one for J. English, one for James h.
English, one for ]. Z. English, and two
for Francis Gillette. All these, except
those for English and Gillett will un-
doubtedly be counted for Jas. E. English.
There are three scattering in Hartford,
one each for F. Gillette, A. A. Bucklng-
ham and c. E. Perkins; and one in East
Hartford for Gillette. There are two
scattering in Meriden, but none others are
reported so far. This makes nine scat-
tering to be counted against English. In
Enfield there were tWenty-four more votes
returned than were checked. The chances
are now about even with the possibility
of slight odds that Jewell will be the
next Governor.
There is some doubt in come quarters
concerning the election of the remainder
of the Democratic State ticket, the elec'
ton of which has been conceded. Mich
olas, Republican candidate for Treasurer,
runs 100 ahead in his own town, Dan
bury, and also considerably aLead in New
Haven, more than making up Bond'i

| Garrett Davis Expresses i'm Public
His Private opinion of Ben Butler.
WASHINGTON, April 7.-Mr. Davis, OF
Kentucky, obtaining leave to make per-
ssaal explanationhad read an extract from
the New York Herald of last Friday des-
eribing the scene in the Senate Chamber
the previous day between himself and
Mr.. Butler. Mr.. Davis also had read an
extract from Buffers speech in the House
Tuesday, referring to the Ku-Klux of
Kentucky, exhibiting impotent rage
with the whining and piping voice of i'm
beetle and unhonored old age"
Mr.. Davis then narrated the story of
Buffers seizing the silver plate and fur
niture of man named Brothers in New
Orleans, and his Oavis) inability to OBJ
tain the appointment of q select commit
mlttee toinvestigate the complaints against
Butler, and then gave his own account
of the scene between himself and Butler
last Thursday, and concluded as follows:
SIT was not my intention to bring be-
fore the Senate any controversy with the
universally recognized blackguard, cow
srd and scoundrel of the United States,
who himself does not dissent from the
general judgment against him. "
The Business of the Session.
The Senate took up the concurrent
resolution for joint special investigating
committee upon the South.
Frelinghuysen eulogized the recon
struction policy of Congress as most wise
and beneficial, and inspired by marks of
clemency without parallel. The Gov
eminent at the end of the war could by
right have confiscated the entire properly
of the rebels, and bestowed it all upon
the former slaves by whose unIequited
toll that property had been amassed. By |
the recent constitutional amendments the |
heresy of State rights has been complete
ly buried.
Mr.. Pratt, of Indiana, argued the power
of Congress to punish the perpetrators of
Outrages. The practical refusal of the
State to protect black and white alike de
volved the duty on Congress. He favor
ed levying damages on the locality where
outrages occurred.
After executive session the Senate ad-
iourned.

Progress of the High Commission.
New YORK, April ct was tele-
graphed from Washington last night, on
well informed authority, that the labors
of the Joint High Commission will be
finished in a fortnight from the present
time, and that treaty, which will be the
basis of settlement of all points of differ
ence between the two countries, will be
ready TO submit to the Senate at that time.
1t is not impossible the Senate may be in
session two weeks hence, and that the
treaty will be considered before adjourn
ment. Gen. Schenck lately expressed an
opinion that the work of the Commission
will be finished in time for bim to sail for
England before the first of May.
Sumner Struggling for another San
Domingo Debate.
A Washington correspondent telegaphs
that when the San Domingo message and
report were submitted to the Senate yes
terday there was a disposition on the part
of the Sumner-Schurz party to debate it.
The Presidents friends on the other hand
were anxious to have it printed and laid
on the table, without debate. Sumner
says he never saw SO bold an attempt to
cut off debate in the Senate since 1852,
when he insisted upon discussing the
slavery question Ii was finally agreed
to allow speech on each side, but there
will be a struggle on the part of Sumner
and his friends TO have a regular discus
sion upon the message and report.
