The motives which prompted me to with

in their character, and while it would have
afforded me great pleasure 10 have again

many predicted would oe heated and cause

The papers above mentioned s. EN- to
infer from my withdrawal that w. r. Sad

as this relates to me it is lot true. As to
W. r. Sadlers acquiescence l know moth
ing, except that the QUASI friends of Esq, I
Sadler are now as they have EVER been,
the warm and uncornPromising friends of

10 INC Eult0r OF the Union and American:
We notice in your paper that one branch
OF the city government have passed an or.
dinance to prohibit swine from running at
large in tie city. Woul it not be well for
them to leave these almost Indispensable
scaFengers alone at the present season, and
give their attentionto the tens of thousands
of useless, yelping ours that throne our
streets? Let them authorize the police 10
Kill every one found on the street without
muzze, until some fifty thousand are slain,
and then put a heavy tax on The rernainder.S
and they viii deserve the thanks of our

DUNNO the past seven years a rapid and
steady increase offemale colleges has taken
place. Many of these institutions are mere
ly ordinary schools, but Others aim at teach
ing thoroughly the higher branches Of a
college course. In consequence Of the de-
inand for collegiate degrees, many schools,
without the slightest legal authority, are In
the habit of granting diplomas. and in order
to stop these practices It is suggested that the
superintendent Of public instruction In each
State should have the power to visit and
inspect all colleges, andto report the eondi-
ton and prospects Of these Institutions. In
reference to those colleges whers both males
and females are educated, no definite con-
clusion has yet been reached, but it Is as
serted that in nearly every instance the plan
has worked well. Females who have studied
in colleges have showed themselves as atten~
tive to their studies as the males, and have
frequently gained prizes in competition

/ A motion was made to suspend the rules
in order to vote on E. w. Coles petition
for the right Of way from the Louisville to
the Chattanooga depot. ~ ~ ~ 4
Mr.. Kercheyal opposed this motion and
said Ia substance. Il seems that this mat
ter is entirely out Of order, $s this is not
called meeting but new meeting, which
can only act on new matters or that which
has been left over. That action of passing
this bill is too far gone. We have
no power or authority TO suspend the
rules to take up this Biii; which il passed
Tonight under suspension of rules will be
null and void, not worth the paper it is
written on. Not imagining any member
would entertain the idea OF taking up this
blu, he thought they were trsing 10 take
advantage of the absence of members and
play the hog law on those opposing it.
Mr.. Douglas stated that two men had
been injured by the trestle, and be thought
the trestle should be raised. If they would
remove this obstacle aud thai over Spruce

The Chairman held that the rules were
suspended. 5CfseEF f9 ~ ~ n
MIR. kercheval insisted upon having the
law read, believing that 10 SUSPEND the rules
required the vote of -two-thirds of the
whole board. The lay being read
showed Mr.. Kercheval to be right,
notwithstanding he thought the chair had
been present long enough to knew what
the law was. a..-i - = 80 -
Upon bis attention being called to
Rtle OF the Bylaws and Rules, every
Bill, before it becomes law, must be read
three times and at three several meetings,
but oy the concurrence of two-tlirds Of The
whole Board the three several readings NAV
be had at the same meeiing.ns The chair
held that the motion failed, although the
same rule as applicable to The Common
Council has been $50 construed as to mean
Two thirds of quorum present. --r
The Board then adjourned until its
regular meeting in August. 81
