A STATEMENT.

WHEN the carly Report Of tho Decisions Of
the. Supreme Court Of Tennessee were pub
lishod. the bar was about ons-sixth its present
size. and the demand. Of necessity, graduated
the number of copies issued. The loss from
ordinary wear and tear. and tho Wholesale
destruction incident to the war, have left few
ofthese books in existence. The bar. at pre-
sent, numbers more than two thousand, and a
recent investigation shows less than twenty-
five complete sets Of the Reports in the ontire
State.
The demand occasioned by this dosideratum
became so universal and urgent. that some
prominent members Of tho profession recently
induced Hon. VIM. F. Cooper to consent to
edit q republication Of the Reports. which.
prior to 1861, arc cut Of print. After issuing
nine volumes Of the reprint. the publishers
incurred a loss which forced them to stop.
1t is now proposed to present the matter to
deavor to pass . bill with these leading fea-
turos:
1st. To have the State take . sufficient num-
Dor Of Reports to furnish each Court a complete
set giving them to tho clerk) placing them
upon the exact footing oftho records. and re-
curing tho Clork to give q separate bond in
double their value. conditioned for safe keep
ing and preservation from loss. injury, &c.
I'd. To take also enough to exchange for three
complete sets Of State. Federal and English
Reports. for libraries at Jackson. Nashville
and Knoxville.
Should the State do this. the publishers will
continue and complete the republication In
the samo manner and style down to 1861, In
elusive. and will sell tho books ct three dol.
lars per volume.
The two volumes Of Hsiskell's Reports al
ready issued, with less than the average
amount Of printed matter in the Reports from
LIST Overton to LIST Coldwell, inclusive. cost the
State over six dollars per volume. exclusive Of
editorial work.
In material. typography. finish. etc.. tho
Cooper edition" is much superior. to tho
Hsiskell books, and Is offered at less than one
halfthe price.
In the future volumes, which will, in every
respect, surpsss those already published. the

The Hotel Porter Nuisance.
A pIsGRAoEFUL AFFAIR.

The hotel porters have long been a
nuisance not only to the travelling pub
lie and the railroad officials, but also to
all citizens whose business or pleasure
has CHANGED to call them to the depot.
They have been repeatedly expelled
from the depot building, but their cries
and noise on the outside has made day
and night hideous to all within the
neighborhood. Upon promise Of good
behavior, they have been, again and
again, permitted to enter the building.
Rules have been established for their re-
gulation and with the vain hope of keep
ing them within due bounds. They, or
most of them. have shown no respect for
rules or law, the rights OF the traveller
or the railroad company. They were
continually in contention, one with an
other. and were a law unto themselves,
taking the law into their own hands.
But sometimes fOrbearance ceases to be
a virtue, and the law will assert itself.
Last evening, on the arrival Of the Sara
toga train, the hotel pOrters were, as
usual, soliciting passengers, " as we pre-
sumo it is by courtesy called, when the
representatives Of the Central House and
Bates House, became involved in a not
uncommon quarrel over a passenger and
his baggage. Loud, profane and vulgar
language was used. The presenc of
ladies made no difference in the selection
of their choice and peculiar explosives.
AS they had no regard for themselves
neither had they for others. The police
man on duty in the depot, Frank Auber-
ton, interfcred to quell the disturbance
and ordered them from the building.
They refused TO go and forcibly resisted
the efforts of the officers to eject them.
Finally, after a severe scufflc, the porter
of the Central House was OverpOwercd
and committed to Jail. The porter Of
the Bates House has, up to the present
writing eluded arrest, but it was thought
probable that he would be in durancc
vile before morning.
We are requested to state that the
porters of the Bardwell and Stevens
House had no part in the affair.
We trust that action will be taken at
once by the proper authorities either to
regulate the matter and compel, at least,
common decency to be respected or to
abate the business Of soliciting passcn-
gers" as a nuisance.

Keep n Good Roadway on.

A stirring man gets job done in half
the time that your slow, easy one takes
to begin it in. 1t is pleasure to drive
a horse that goes off freely. You know
how to calculate your distance-you can
steer clear of collisions. But your fat
and lazy animal stops just when the
safety of the carriage demands a steady
movement. A friend in conversation
the other day, said he was once a half
day beating from the open sea around
long sand point into a bay. The tide
was running strong against them and
they made several tacks without gain
ing an inch to the windward. Once, in
their anxiety, they let the sail shake in
the wind, and were drifted down in an
instant more than they had gained in
hours One on shore shouted out,
Keep good headooayo1s;;" and they took
his advice. They ran close into the
beach, then showing down the helm, she
luffed and slid up right into the winds
eye, and though her keel grated on the
sand, on recovering the helm, she filled
away and went careeing off into her
safe harbor.
Keep g0od headl0ay on and you will
shoot up easily past many a point that
stretches across your course in life. BE
busy and keep at work in working hours.
We employ the man to work, whose
shop is crowded with customers. Don't
leave business undone to look up bust
ness. Keep hard at what you find to
do. Make horse shoe nails when no.
body brings you a horse to shoe. And
while your face is feebly lighted with
the glimmer of the small fire on your
forge, one win tap you on the shoulder
and offer job, to do which you must
heap up the Goals and raise fire that
will make the whole shop glow in its
ruddy light. So young man, "heep a
good headlo0y on"

How to Dress.

A gentleman who had long been alb
sent from his native village, in this
county, having gained wealth and fame
in his profession, recently made his for
mer home a visit, and his recent mar
riage points useful lesson, to which, we
trust, he will pardon an allusion to point
a moral Soon after his arrival he call
ed upon two charming young ladies of
his acquaintance. One came quickly to
greet him in the neat yet precise attire
in which she was performing her house
hold duties The other, after the lapse
of half an hour, made her stately en-
trance in all the pride and primness of
starch and ribbons with which, on the
announcement of his entrance, she had
FASTENED to deck herself. The gentle
man, who had years ago been hesitating
in his choice Of the two, now hesitated
no longer The cordiality with which
the first FASTENED to greet him, and the
charming carelessness of her attire, en-
tirely won his heart. She is now his
wife.
The young ladies should derive a use
full lesson from this little incident, and
never refuse to see a friend because you
may have on a work gown. Be assured,
the true gentleman will not think less of
you because he finds you in the perform
ance of your duties, and not ashamed to
let it be known. Besides, there may
positively be a grave, bewitching wild
ness about an everyday dress that adds
to every charm of form and feature.
The old poet Herrick thus quantity eX-
presses this ''delight in disorder:
"A sweet disorder in the dress,
A happy kind of carclcSSneSS:l
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into fine distraction;
An erring lace which here and there
Enthrawls the crimson stOmacher;
A cuff neglected and thereby
Ribands that flow cOntusedly:
winning wave, deserving note,
In the tempestous pctticOat;
A careless shOe-String, in whose tie
/ see q wild civility;
Do more bewitch me than where art
Is too precise in every part"

Bishop Jesse n. Peck.


The large number of friends and for
mer pupils Of Rev. Jesse T. Peck, d.
D., viii be gratifed to learn of his cleo
ton as one Of the Bishops Of the Meth
odist Episcopal church. He is one Of
the ablest and most popular representa-
tives of the whole church in this cOun-
try. Dr. Peck spent many of his ear
lier years in the instruction of the youth
of the land, and no educator in that de-
nomination can show fairer record or
point to nobler class of men and wo-
men now giving character and influence
to the Mcthothist church, some of whom
stand with him on the floor of the Gen
eral Conference. They refer to him as
their guide in youth and their friend and
patron in ripper years.
Or. Peck possesses a majestic form
and noble bearing, his voice and pres
ence in an assembly of his fellows, Sc
cure attention and command support.
His strongly marked features indicate
great force of character. Although just
beyond sixty years of age, he is still full
Of enthusiasm and yigor. He has spent
amaiority Of his life as an educator. He
left that field few years ago for the
more active work of the ministry, in
which he has earned the reputation of
an active and energetic worker. Few
men have occupied more important sta
tions in the educational field or ministc-
rial labor.
The following positions occupied by
him fully indicate his high rank, viz
Principal of the Wesleyan Seminary at
Goyerneur, n. "; Troy Conference
Academy, at Poultney, vt. F.; President
of Dickinson College, at Carlisle, Pa !;
Pastor of Green street Methodist church,
New York Foundry church at Wash
ington, d. G. Metropolitan church,
San Francisco, CALIFORNIA; Hudson
Street church, Albany, N. Y; Presid-
ing Elder of Sacramento District, Cali
fornia; President of the Syracuse On.
" University, which position he occu-
pied at the time of his election as Bish-
Oh. Thousands Of old pupils and par
ishioners and warm personal friends all
through the land will hail with cordial
delight the elevation of their instructor,
pastor and friend to the bishopric of one
the leading denomination the country.
DR. Pecks acquaintance with the his
tory of Methodism for the last forty
years, his genial nature-one of those
natures that never grow old-his broad
views, his learning and his eloquence,
qualify him him, in this era of Method
ism, to fill one Of the chief seats Of the
church. He is good for twenty years
hard work of the church. He is true
and tried man, of whom the church
may well be proud. Ills election is an
honor to him, the General Conference
and the Methodist church.
