EyEUNT GOULD's GANG.

When it became known that a settlement
had been arrived at, the Gould adherents became
despondent and few Of the minor attaches Of the oice
who had given In their allegiance assumed an air Of
importance that not warranted. Lynchs roughs

Stevens the only person authorized to do They Stood
and waited, and watched with some trepidaton the
gathering Of the large numbers OF respectable people
who at o'clock, had entered the building. Lynch con
ferred with his associates, and looked from under his
eyebrows at the police. At last IL was announced at
23O O'Clock that Gould had made unconditional

The Queen City Circus viii make its adj
vent in our city this, Friday morning, ana
remain here for two days, giving its varied
and wonderful exhibitions TO our citizens
and surrounding friends on to-day and to-
morrow. beneath their mammoth paVlilon
on the lot corner of Broad and Spruce
streets, opposite the Exposition building
All of our exchanges from the places tnaI
this great organization has visited, speak OF
il in the most laudatory terms, and II one
half Of what we hear of this WOnderfai
show is true, why then we are to witness
an exhibition that certainly cannot be ex-
celIef if edualed. We clip the following
from one OF the Chattanooga papers:
"The Queen City Circus gave two exhl-
billions in our city yesterday, to crowded
and delighted audiences, This is undouot.
edIv fine largest and best combination OF
arenic talent that has ever visited this sec
ton, and is certainly deserving OF more
than usual notice. We cannot express our
wonder at the many wonderful feats OF the
Astonishing female athlete, Mdle. Zltela,
| who by her chaste and elegant scrobatlc
| groupings elected frequent and tumaltuous
aDp,0bation from the vast assemblage that
! tbronged the large tent. Her performance
| is entirely new, and certainly very wonder
| full. Miss Mollie Brown, ''the child cham
pion rider" is the most accomplished eques-
| trienue that has ever appeared before the
audiences Of the world. Her daring and
Grace have wrought tor her the justly de-
Served reputation she now enjoys, and Mr..
Lipman has been fortunate in securing her
services. The clowns are the best we have
eFer seen; the acrobats and gymnasts un-
eouaned, while the wonderful feat OF the
two flying men by MiacO and Ball canno'
! he excelled. As an entirety it is the very
best company we have ever witnessed, and
the immense attendance yesterday was
deserving compliment to the greatest show
of the age"

end seemed to be ignorant of this fact
in their testimony, and it was net until
to-day that the full extent Of this new out
race BY the military family Of the President
was elected by the Military Committee. FL.
T. Crosby, the private secretary Of Bel
knap, and Cunningham, clerk in charge of
the fie-room of the Department, were ex-
amined to-day, and told some embarrass-
ing facts. When Badeau went to London
as Consul General, he carried with him five
or six chests fall Of very important papers
belonging to the War Department. Not
satisfied with this CARLOAD which he had
taken, he called for more after his arrival in
London, and another chest full was shipped
to him from the Department. Subsequent
" he was requested to return all the records
in his possession. To this request he re-
Piled that be had returned them. They
were, however, never received by the De-
partment, and there is no evidence, except
his bare assertion, that be ever shipped
them. His letter saying he had returned
them was produced before the committee
to-day, and was put in evidence.
The Injunction Of secrecy which the COM
mittee still imposes, prevents the exact con-
tents Of the letter from being known. The
points established by previous witnesses
and those examined to-day, are: First
That all headquarters reports, six hundred
original letters and the records Of the Buell.
Court are gone from the files of the Depart
ment, with strong probability that other
records are also missing. Second-That
Badeau took portion Of the missing docu-
ments to the White House, and subsequent
" to Europe, where he holds the most lu-
crative Consular appointment within the
Presidents gift. Thrd-That on his arri-
val in London he wrote for additional docu-
ments, which were taken from the files OF
the Department, packed in box and
shipped to him. Fourth-Thst Badeau has
written to the Department that he has re-
turned the documents. Fifth-That none
of these documents have been received by
the Department.

From the Springfield Record of the 3Oth

q candidate for reelection to the Lower
House Of the.next General Assembly from

says:
We are glad to announce the name Of
Boyd u. Cheatham candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Lower House of the next Legis-
latu7e. As a Representative he has been
faithful and honest-never forgetful OF his
pledges to the people who honored him with

ruption and corrupt rings and was Jealous
in the discharge Of every duty which de-
volved upon him. We feel that we but ex-
press the opinion of almost the entire coun-
ty when we say that we hope he will have
no opposition. No one can doubt his ca
pacitY, and none stood higher than he as
an upright, conscientious and honorable
member, and none labored more efficiently
to protect his people and relieve them from
burthens under which they were laborlng.
His experience will the better enable MIN
to do even greater service in the future
than he has done in the past. we know
his reputation among his fellow members,
and none stood higher or commanded more
respect and admiration than Boyd M

county of Robertson. ta

How a Hotel Clerk was frightened

Yesterday morning a runaway couple
from Russellville, Kentucky, consisting OF
the loving pair and two attendants, male
and female, arrived here at one O'Clock on
the Edgefield and Kentucky train. Taking
a hack they were drawn TO a certain hotel,
but finding no ore awake to receive them,
the driver went in the hote! to awake the
clerk. The knight of the desk had fallen
asleep, and being very unexpectedly aroused
from his slumbers in the old arm chair, i'm
agined burglars were making an attack on
the safe. Thinking discretion the better
part of valor, this knightly scribe broke ior
the rear, upsetting three or four chairs, and
escaping byjumping through window and
thence bv a circuitous route along dark al
leys toward the police station. Ascertaining
his error before reaching the Square, be very
quietly returned to the hotel, his dismayed
visitors and would-haYe-been guests having
in the meantime sought rooms at the Com
mercial Hotel, where the loving couple
were married at three O'Clock yesterday
morning. We once heard Of young lady
being frightened by proposition Of mairi-
mony on the part of a gentleman, but never
knew hotel clerk could be so badly fright
ened by a runaway couple as to abandon
the Office to their charge, and that, TOO,
| without word Of explanation

DECORATION DAY"

There was an unusual activity early yes
terday morning, particularly among the
colored people. 1t indicated excitement
which proved to be Decoration Day at the
National Cemetery. The Train Marshal
was Nelson Walker, who did hls duty ad-
mirabIy, with numerous assistants. Ihe
trains were run in sections at short inter
walls under the conductor5hip OF Messrs.
CIeuaban and Jackson. On one OF them
there was small party Of white men who
had cot in an extra car before the colored
ne0ple were admitted. As soon as they
discovered that the cOlored people were
coming in they rudely pushed in one dlrec-
fion and another, aud at last huddled up
together as though they were afraid they
would take the smallpox.
The ceremony of decorating soldiers
graves was first begun in Virginia by ladies
who felt that deepest of all possible inter
aets which we ever can feel in what we do.
Those graves contained the remains OF
their nearest and dearest relatives.
The faces that were now cold and
exDressionless were once the sunlight OF
their homes. But the war had carried
them away, and they sincerely mourned
their loss.
Ills well known it was pO5t OF the
mGrand Army of the Republic" political
machine. that first conceived the idea it
would not be a bad political move to have
the Graves of all the Union soldiers decora-
fed simultaneously. Those who had
lost their sons or husbands were

THE CITY.
AssanIf and RatterY.

Last night the cOlored porter of the Po-
lice Station, Bob Petway, conceived the
idea of entertaining his friends, and Tor
this purpose gave terpsichorean entertain
ment on, Front street. a negro named
Henry Pullman, whose Importance had been
overlooked when the invitations were eX-
tended, obtruded himself upon the notice
of the party and of Bob, with whom he eX-
changed few rash words and then went
away. After awhile Putnam returned
with two friends and made it up with
Bob, who was induced to take a drink.
The two friends went to the ball, while
Putnam went off and in the meantime
changed his clothes aud returned to the
ball, where, seeing Bob, he struck him
over the mead with a loaded cane, intlicting
an ugly cash. Here general scuille en-
sued, Putnam breaking loose and running
away. He was chased BY Bob, who after
firing once at Pullman, but without hitting
him, succeeded in oyertaking his assaLlant
as the latter fell in sewer near the foun-
dry on Front street. He arrested Putnam
and marched him TO the police station
Putnam was released on bail.
