Wit of Habeas Cornus.

SIP. Bell, the white nan arrested ter
days ago on a charge Of miscegenation and
committed to jail by Justice Baskette in
default of bail for his appearance at the
Criminal Court, yesterday applied to Judge
Guild for release on a writ of habeas corpus
This was the case, as the reader will re-
member, in which Bell and colored wo-
man, to whom he was married in the State
of Mississippi, were arrested here for living
together as man and wife contrary to the
requirements Of the act of 1870. In the
argument made on the application yester-
day, Justice Daskette appeared for the State
and Judge John A. Campbell on behalf OF
the applicant The point of law raised
and argued by the latter was whether
contracts entered into and consummated
in another State, where such contracts were
according to law, would subject the parties
TO punishment in this State, because such
contracts are here forbidden by law. The
points involved were argued at considerable
length and with much earnestness and abb
lily. Judge Guild deemed it best TO leave
the final settlement of the gu stions at is
sue to the Criminal Court, and therefore
refused to grant the application. He how
ever, reduced the bond from 81 900 to $500
which the accused gave and was released
from imprisonment.

FARMERS MEETING.

to be Called.
The convention of farmers of Davidson
county assembled at the Courthouse yester-
! day pursuant to adjoui nment, Mark S.
Cockrill presiding and representatives of the
press acting as Secretaries.
The committee hitherto appointed to in
quire of the people their preferences as to
the nominations of candidates for the Le-
| gislature, reported through their chairman
Ben Cockrill, in favor of calling a conven
ton to be composed of two delegates from
each ward and district in the county, to
nominate candidates for Senator ana rep
resentatives.
Gen. w. G. Harding opposed the resolG-
ton embraced in the report, earnestly en-
tering his protest against its adoption.
Col. Thos. Claiborne also opposed the
report and resolution; saying that their
| adoption would be complete surrender OF
the movement sought to be iuaugurated in
the interest OF farmers. He was not will
| ling to see an enterprise of so much impC r
lance TO the agricultural interests of the
| people commit cd to the meIce s of a lit 9
| political caucus. He offered a resolution LII
| lieu of the suggestion for convention that
| primary election to ascertain the wishes
OF the people be held three weeks hence.
Col. A. W. johnson, of the committee,
said that but ten districts were represented
to-day, and they therefore thought that it
would be better to have a general conven-
| ton in which should be- fully represented
the wishes of the people as to who should
be their representatives in the Legislature.
DR.. VIM. Williams advocated the report.
He said that much good had resulted from
the farmers meetings already held, and the
people were beginning to see that there was
earnestness in the movement now being
made. He desired that the wishes of the
people should be ascertained, and that men
preferred for representatives should be NOM
mated.
p. w. Maxey, Esq, advocated the report
of the committee, saying he regarded the
proposed convention as a fair means Of
reaching the desired end.
Gen. w. 81. Jackson opposed the report
of the committee, avowing himself in favor
of having the agricultural interests more
fully represented than could be expected
from nominations in political convention.
B. +. Cockrill, Esq, addressed the con-
vention in support of the resolution en-
braced in the report of the committee.
The sense of the convention as to the
resolution in favor of q convention Of dele
gates from all the wards and districts three
weeks hence was called for, and the resolu-
ton adopted.
On motion, Messrs. Ben. F. Cockrill
Thomas B. johnson and w. II. jackson
were appointed to confer with the Demo
cratic Executive Committee of Davidson
county, as to the most proper time for hold
ing the proposed county convention.
The meeting then adjourned.

Bethlehem Acafiamx.

just about this time, newspapers are
flooded with advertisements of colleges and
academies, for the convenience of parents
selecting proper places for their children
the coming year. Some patronize home in
situations, so that the dear little ones may
be ever near them. Others prefer sending
them off to some distance, that their studies
may be less interrupted. To such as take
the latter view, and yet wish to have their
children within easy telegraphic and rail
road reach, the Bethlehem Academy adver-
TIED to-day and situated near Elizabeth
town ON the Louisville road, offers special
advantages. Besides the regular course OF
instruction and accomplishments, the
Lauretine Sisters bestow an earnest, scrup-
ulous care OIL the nascent morals of their
Youthful charges.

The nrnliorn ULYSSES

No political book that has been published
for many years has been received with as
much applause as "The Modern Ulysses
LII. D." by Nelson Cross, Counsellor at
Law. 1t is as nearly as can be in the same
space, complete and telling record of the
present Ulysses, sometimes very appropri-
ately styled The Great Am rican Gift
Taker. .
We commend it TO the careful attention
of the public. Every speaker who expects
to take any part in the present canvass
should not only read but study it. 1t is the
political handbook of the campaign.
1t is published by Redfeld, 14O Fulton
street, New York, and for sale in this city
by Paul & Tavel, Union street.

A white supporter of Gen. Grant has
been shrewd enough TO talk silver quarter
out of the possession Of Horace Greeley's

bringing back the change after purchasing
a glass of beer. John has not since OBJ
served the man, quarter or change, and be-

human nature as developed in this paf5icu-
lar instance.
