RopubIican Success in Nashville.

We congratulate our friend Hon. Thos.
A. Kercheyal, upon his election as Mayor
of Nashville. He defeated K. ]. Morris,
who has held the position two years, by
seventy-six votes. The Banner speaking
of it says:
The cOlOred people grew very jubilant
last evening, and turned out with fife and
drum and took possession of the newly
elected Mayor, shortly after it became ap-
parent that the returns from the Fourth
Ward would place him ahead of Mayor
Morris. In brief speech he said he held
that he was not elected by any party, but
by the masses of the people, who choose
him as their Mayor in preference to an
aristocrat who had had the office repeated
ly. He said that, while serving through
his term, he would endeavor to further the
interests of this city.
The Union and american says:
The municipal election yesterday result
ed in a Radical triumph, the election of a
Radical Mayor by a handsome majority.
This too upon reasonably full vote; a lar
ger vote than was cast last year. The Gin
dependant policy was pursued "every
man for himself and the devil take the
hindmost." The result: a Radical tri-
umph here in the city of Nashville, the
capital of the State, beating true and tried
incumbent,

Boarding House Life.

Oliver Wendell Holmes writes: To
think of it! Not even dog to lick his hand
or cat to purr and rub her fur against
him !! Oh! these boarding houses What
fOrlorn people one sees stranded on their
desolate shores! Decayed gentle women
with the poor wrecks of what once made
their households beautiful, disposed around
them in narrow chambers as they best may
be, coming day after day, poor souls, to sit
at the board with strangers; their hearts
full of sad memories which have no Ian
guage but sigh, no record but the lines of
sorrow on their features; orphans, .crea-
lures with growing tendrils and nothing
to cling to; lonely rich men, casting about
them what to do with wealth they never
knew how to enjoy, when they shall no
longer worry over keeping and increasing
it; young men and young women, left to
instincts, unguarded, unmatched, save by
malicious eyes, which are sure to be found
and to find occupation in those miscella-
neous collections of human beings and
now then shred of humanity like this
little specialist, with just the resources
needed to keep the radical moisture"
from entirely exhaling from his attenuated
organism, and busying himself over a
point of science, or compiling a hymn
book, or editing grammar or dictionary
such are the tenants of boarding houses
whom we can not think of without feeling
how sad it is when the wind is not tenn
pered to the shorn lamb, when the solitary
whose hearts are shriyeling, are not in
families.

WASHINCTON.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 30.-Oregon elected
Mitchell, Republican to the United States
Senate. Mitchell succeeds Corbett.
The acting commissioner of Internal
Revenue, in view of the ambiguity of a
portion of section seventeen of the act of
June 6, 1872, imposing a special tax on
dealers in malt liquors, and i'll view of the
supposed intention of Congress, has decid-
ed that wholesale and retail liquor dealers
may continue to sell malt liquors under
their special tax receipts as such, without
being assessed as malt liquor dealers, and
that the collection of taxes assessed contra
ry to that construction shall be suspended
until the question can be brought before
Congress-. Persons who sell only malt
liquors are liable only to the special taxes
of twenty or fifty dollars as they are
wholesale or retail dealers in malt liquors.
The acting commissioner of Internal
Revenue decides that on and after Octo-
ber 1st, 1872, MOI stamps will be required
upon checks, drafts, and orders except
such as are drawn on sight or on demand
upon banks, brokers and trust companies.
He also decides that ON and after that date
no stamps are necessary upon foreign bills
of exchange.

"a Local Miscellany.

r. 81 /
One-of Bells omnibusses when returning
from the Camp Meeting train, Sunday
night, was turned over by an embank-
ment of dirt on Crooked Street near the
st. Johns Church. The driver, John Cof-
fin, (col- had his leg broken just below the
thigh. This is the third accident caused by
this same pile of dirt and it is time that it
was removed.
A carriage run into horse on Gay
Street yesterday, and striking him in the
flank injured him severely; the horse,
however, had his revenge as he managed
to get his leg mixed up with the wheel and
succeeded in breaking four or five spokes
and otherwise damaging it before he got
loose.
The railing on Main Street bridge over
first creek is off, leaving a fine opening for
some one to walk into these dark nights.
One of the cars on the 1880 train from
Sunday night but was eXtinguished with
out any serious damage being done.
The nights are Ecool and suggestive of
frost, which accelerates the ripening of the
pumpkin fruit.
There is good tide in the river and the
water is still rising, though slowly.
CAL Julian brought down two hundred
and fifty bushels of wheat yesterday.
Mrs. Shultz, an elderly lady, was pushed from
the platform at the Camp. Ground on sunday
afternoon and severely injured The platform
was crowded and as the train moved OFF those
next to the cars surged backward and Mrs. 5.
and another person fell, she undermost. 1t was
fortunate circumstance that no one else was
hurt
Yesterday near the depot an intoxicated man
leaped from the train while it was in motion
and was slightly injured. Luckily he fell in q
mud hole or he might have been seriously hurt.
AS it was he escaped with soiled garments.

Rather Personal.

The Nashville Banner pays its respects
to Landon G. Haynes, Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the Memphis District,
as follows:
Colonel (?) Landon c.. Haynes, who has
spent the greater part of a useless life in ask
ing for office; who helped to precipitate his
State into war against the Union, for no
higher purpose than office who was pro-
claiming, in 1860, from the stump: "to hi
with such union :" who was one of those
valorous precipitators, who believed wine
glass would hold all the blood that would be
split in the war, and when oceans of it acre
spilling, took precious good care that none
of his helped to swell the incarnadine
current; who went to an office in the
Confederate Congress while the poor lads
he had seduced into rebellion went to the
field and to the trenches; who IN
that Congress voted to remove the
lamented Albert Sidney Johnson because
he was unable to hold a powerful army in
check without an army of his own; who
passed laws of conscription to force other
men into the hail of shot and shell-laws
excepting the owner of fifteen slaves from
military duty, but forcing the father of flf-
teen children into the bloody chasm of
death or mutilation of limb-this virtuous
patriot, who nowhere raised his voice since
the war to liberalize the sections and close
the bloody chasm, is now again candidate
for office-in this era of peace and reconcil-
iation-a candidate for Congress against
an able Memphis journalist, who was nev-
er in office, who was a Confederate soldier
from the beginning of the war to its close,
always at the front, who, since the war,
has done more for the good of this section
with his pen, than Haynes ever did for it
in his whole life, except to ruin it.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 30.-Satanta, chief of
the KioWa Indians and Big Tree, another
notable chief of some tribe who have been
temporarily released from Texas prison ar
rived here to-day in custody and were
taken to the Everett House, where the
other Indians were stopping. During the
day "a council was held. The meeting of
Satanta and Big tree was one of the most
affecting scenes in the Indian history. The
ordinary stoicism gave entirely away and
they hugged and kissed each other and
cried like children. Satanta made speech,
in which he said that he felt like one risen
from the dead. He referred to the talk he
had had with Gov. Davis, of Texas, who
told him he must work hard for peace and
influence his people, and if he did this he
should be released. He wanted his peO-
pie and all other Indians to be at peace with
the whites, to let Texas alone and not go
on the war path. 1t is not intended to take
Satanta and Big Tree to Washington, but
they,will probably be placed in custody
bv the United States Marshal tomorrow
and held subject to orders from Washing

of the Indians that Satanta be pardOned
and it is probable that if he is almost any
desired terms can be made with them.

I'VE hold traitors responsible for the worH
upon which they have precipitated US, and we
warn them that they must abide the full penal

and Maryland may not fatter themselves tina
they can enter upon war against the Governt

homes. They choose to play the part of traitors
and they must suffer the penalty. The aooT''

Dry Goods.

Trade among Dry Goods and Grocery mer-
chants has been unusually active during the
past three weeks. Large shipments have been
made from our leading houses to different parts
in Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina,
probably the heaviest shipments that have ever
been made from Knoxville. A brisk trade is
anticipated for the present week, on account of
the large and we'll assorted stocks that our mer-
chants are presenting to the trade. AS to prices
the fact that our merchants are successfully
competing with the Eastern markets, is good
evidence that they will rule low.

In the drug market We notice steady and
marked advance in spirits turpentine during the
past week. 1t is now selling at 75a90 per gallon
with a prospect ofstill further advance. Linseed
oil has advanced slightly, though we look for
no important change from present prices, which
are $1.05a1.1 10 for raw and S1.11a1.17 for boiled.
Concentrated lye has advanced from $3.50 to
S. so per case, owing to monopoly in manafac-
ture Sulph quinine still rules high with sales
at $500 per o. Gum camphor has declined to
75c per ID. Bluestone 15c. Window glass is
firm at old prices with prospect of advance.

The Cincinnati Southern Road.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Times and Chronicle takes the following
view of the Cincinnati Southern Road.
Probably the greatest Importance attach
ing to Chattanooga arises from the fact
that your Southern road is looking hither
for one of its southern termini. say one
of its southern termini, for am satisfied
that it will have more than one SUCH and
that the very necessity Of the case will
compel Cincinnati to seek q more direct
connection with Knoxville than will be af-
forded by way of Chattanooga. Indeed,
from such facts as am advised of, am
inclined to think the prediction safe one,
that Cincinnati and Knoxville will be di-
rectly connected by rail sooner than this
city and Cincinnati will. Perhaps in a
letter from Knoxville, if get hold there of
the man hope to see, shall be able to
furnish some of these relevant facts, stated
in more difnite shape than I could now
put them in.
