POLITICAL.

The Georgia straight-outs have called
Democratic Convention. to meet at Atlanta,
August 20.
Dat in Wisconsin it has been proposed to
make use of Greeley Republicans for mile
posts, 40 there are too few for any other use
but even that project has fallen through for
lack of material.
One of the grandest ovations ever extended
to public man was given 10 Senator Wilson
a, indianapolis, Monday night. The princi-
pal feature was a torchlight procession three
miles in length, passing through streets that
were thronged with people the entire distance.
A: the stand a very small proportion of the
enthusiastic throng could get within sound of
the Senator'S voice. He spoke an hour and
a half, and was listened to with profound
attention.
The Atlanta Constitution thinks it is about
time for the Democratic supporters OF the
Tammany candidate to cease the statement
that taking the piebald candidate is ''bitter
pill" and that he is the ''choice of evils
The Columbus. Ca, Sun responds that
the painful declarations complained of are but
the echo of many Greeleyite papers at this
time, und says; "We give it to our readers to
prove that when we have taken the irst step
from principle and entered the labyrinths of
crooked and rotten policy, we are soon hope
lessly lost. We may struggle, but we strug-
gle in vain to recover the way from which we
have originally departed
Judge Long a lifelong and nfluenti al DEM
ocrat Of Missouri says of the Greeley coalition
Gentlemen, my opinion is that this new
policy party will be short-lived; that ubon
the 5th of November next it will cease to exist
and then it's requiem will be sung by the
head of the house and the members of the
family, to the tune of that good old song call
ed Postum up the gum stump. And hen
the admirers of fallen greatness will have the
satisfaction of seeing the distinguished can
ddate retire to his farm, preparing for the
spring work ofracking up his fences, bedding
his carrots and cabbages. and featuring on
rye bread After weeks rest from his
labors we shall see the old white hat moving
down to the Tribune Office, and Uncle Horace
will help on the next issue by leader on the
talicised quotation from one of his campaign
speeches of 1859: General rant has never
yet been beaten and will never be. He will
prove as great and glorious on the field OF
politics as on that of war.-H. G.

TIE REPUBLICAN PYRAMID.

The victory in North Carolina is the
key to the great victory which Grant
and Wilson will achieve in November.
We have it on the authority of Mr.. Gree
ley that "Gen. Grant was never beaten
and never will be- and certainly the re-
turns from the South make good the last
part of the assertion as far as this cam
paicn is concerned. Our democratic ex-
changes have also been telling us for sew
cral days that as North Carolina has gone
SO will 70 the Union in November. We
believe them, not because of their predic-
tons, but because there is something
stronger than omens and inAamed mag
nations to rely upon in calculating the re-
suits. We claim that no less than twenty
seven States of the thirty-seven in the
Union will give their electora! vote iol
Grant and Wilson, and the following are
the States:

Bassett's Victory.

The announcement of Bassett's victory
over Longfellow at Saratoga yesterday,
caused much establishment, even among
those most con7ersant with the mysteries
and uncertainties of hCrseology. Recov-
ering from the effects of their astounding
surprise, knowing ones at once proceeded to
explain precisely how it was done. These
explanations we're to the writer hereof as
inexplicable as so much dog latin, but not
on that account less satisfactory as to the
main issue or event of the occasion. For
DO matter what was said, the great fact
that Bassett had beaten Longfellow could
neither be denied or obliteratec. The re-
cord is so made and must forever so re-
main. Even the caps of those WHO did
not love Bassett are off in profound ac-
knowledgment to this great achievement,
while their money falls copiously into the
pockets of Bassett's friends. Horse racing
was always an uncertain business.

Genuine EIoUuenee.

A learned attorney, whose business and
inclination tend mainly in the direction Of
Deaderick street, in yesterday defending a
party of offenders arraigned before Justice
Cassetty, got of a bit of genuine eloquence
to which that and no other court could turn
a deaf ear.
After vigorous assault upon the testi-
mony for the prosecution, the lawyer, in
these truly impressive words, closed the ap-
peal for the acquittal of his clients:
"Learn to look with compOSure upon the
storm. riven heavens, trusting implicitly in
Him who doeth all things on the square.
Allow hungry brutes to crop the thisiles
of the valley. Permit sagacious goats to
browse upon the rank weeds of the plains.
Let venomous reptiles hiss out their hatred
at the mountain top; but here in the glaring
light of new civilization and glorious pro-
gress, it is hoped your honored worship will
give broad instance to the humane and fear
less administration Of criminal law which
usually characteristics your official conduct,
aud order the release of these hapless de-
PENDANTS" This stirring appeal settled the
case, aud the peace breakers, after earnestly
promising better conduct in all coming times
and furnishing their own recognizance in
$3.50 each for the ensuing six months, were
kindly permitted to depart the precincts of
the court.

The NEavoraIty.

But little is at present being said touch
ing the approaching election of city Off
Gals. It has been most generally under
stood that Mayor Morris would be a candi-
date for reelection, and the recently pub
lished flattering call upon him to that effect
tended rather to strengthen that impress
sion. He will respond formally to this call
within short time, but it is not now posi-
lively known, not even to himself, whether
he will decline or accept the honor. The
friends of Justice w. II. Wilkinson, Presi-
dent of the Board of Aldermen, urge that
gentleman to become a candidate for May
or, but the Squire has not yet determined
whether he Will or not comply with their
wishes. He will in this matter be governed
by circumstances, it being his purpose and
intention to act only in such way as to
subserve the best interest of his fellowc
liens. So the question, who is to be May
OF of Nashville during the ensuing munich
pal year, remains for the present unan-
sWered.

RriIItant Wedding.

Last night witnessed brilliant marriage
a. the McKendree Church, the contracting
parties being L. F. Benson, Esq, and Miss
Addie, daughter of Col. E. w. Cole, Presi-
dent of the Nashville and Chat anooga and
Northwestern Railroads. Before the APP
pointed hour of o'clock, the church was
crowd d TO its capacity, the assembl9ge be-
ing composed of our best people. In proper
time Prof. Weber announced the near APP
proach of the ceremonies with an excellently
rendered selection from an appropriate
opera. The bridal attendants entered the
church in the following order:
Writ Hughes and Miss Lizzie Leiper, Of
Murfreesboro.
H. Fall and Miss Ella Hardcastle.
d. w. Paschal and Miss Ella Hughes.
w. Z. Dunaway and Miss Alice Love.
w. Ii. Wharton and Miss Sadie Morris.
Ed. Richards and Miss Anna Mason.
The bridesmaids were dressed in white
muslin ornamented with flowers, and the
hair arranged q Ia mode and glstening with
diamond dust. The bride, who is beau
tiful blonde,wss arrayed in a white silk dress
trimmed with point applique lace and tulle
veil with orange blossoms. After the attend
ants had assumed positions on either side
of the altar, the bride and groom advanced,
when the ceremony was gracefully perform
ed by the Rev. DR.. Kelley, Pastor of the
Church. A reception was given at the
residence of the brides father, where as
sembled only the attendants, relatives and
more intimate friends, no cards having been
issued because of recent family Affections.
Congratulations, both to the newly married
couple and Mr.. Cole, with many kind
wishes for the future happiness of the
former were, extended by those present WHO
we're entertained in pleasant though unos-
tentatols style.
At ten O'Clock guests were ushered in the
dining hall, were was spread an elegant
table, its shape being that of a cross, en-
blematic of loves faith itself. The ele-
gauce displayed in the arrangement of the
table, ornamented with pyramid cake, fancy
CONNECTIONS and silver ware, was most taste
full, and due tos the excellent
supervision of one Of Nashville's
most cultivated ladies. The entertain
ment of the evening both socially and in
other respect characteristic of such an &C.
casion, was delightful and pleasant. At
twelve O'Clock the brilliant assemblage dis
persed, with kind remembrances of the
evenings pleasures and earnest wishes for
welfare and happiness of the worthy bride
groom and his own beautiful bride, who
with a few friends left by special train on
the Chattanooga road for Southern tour.

Calico Ball at Becrsheba.

In the present weather and dearth of
amusements, our readers will be delighted
to see the announcement, in our advertis-
ing columns, of fancy ball at Beersheba
Springs, on the evening of Thursday, July
%. The occasion viii be more than usual
ly interesting, from the fact the projectors Of
the entertainment contemplate the avoid
ance of all the expense attending fancy
balls. 1t will furnish a GOOD opportunity to
our beaux and bellies to exhibit their iDge-
nui5y in deviSing costumes that shall cost
nothing. The whole affair will be in every
way peasant, and our citizers, of course,
viii! avail themselves of it.
There is a large company now at the
Springs, all of whom are emphatic in their
expressions of satisfaction at the manner in
which Messrs. S. NJ. Scott 81 Co., conduct
the hotel.
We do not require any prophet TO pre-
dict a grand time at the Calico Ball.
The facilities for reaching Beersheba are
better now than they have ever been. Pas
sengers by way of McMinnville and by
Tracy City, will find good stages with ac-
commodating drivers, and will reach the
Springs by sunset. iy17 q sunday Fl

wondarruI Instance of Perturbation.

Afragmentary section of monster hui
man being, doubtless the Cardiff giant,
was recently found by Capt. Nimro, while
surveying on a ridge near Gallatin, Sumner
county. This curiosity, for truly it is wor-
thy the name, was given to Capt. George
Glover, who has presented it to DR.. Nor
row, the State Treasurer. Yesterday
large number Of gentlemen, several of
whom were versed in geology, made an ex
animation Of this most wonderful speci-
linen Of former animation turned to stone,
but arrived at 10 satisfactory con-
clusion as TO its exact nature.
We understand that the Comptroller
has specimen, which though softer and
much smaller, is similar to this one. That
in the Comptroller's possession, as near as
hypothetical assumption warrants, must
have existed, according to the Devonian
age, in the cOrnYerOuS period and been en-
cased in the schoharic grit or conlda gall
grit strata, or possibly in the connection Of
these. The one found in Sumner county
must have belonged to the mammalian age,
and at present is neither flesh nor fish. The
two specimens are similar in shape, though
different in character. They demand the
attention of all learned persons.

nuisance afforded in the city of Nashville.
1t was observed by them that he was ra-

hoped that nights quiet reflection might

BUSINESS FROM BOARD OF ALDERMEN.
The resolution adopted at the last meet
ing of the Board of Aldermen to prohibit
the use of the Markethouse for public
speaking or political gatherings, was read.
Councilman Duling opposed The motion to
concur, saying the people had no more con-
venient place to assemble, and as the peo-
pie paid for the Markethouse, and
it being their property, he was
opposed to denying them the right to as
senble there on any fitting occasion. Coun-
Gilman Pentecost was in favor of concur
renee, on the grounds that the stalls Of the
Market had been rented out to various in
dividuals, the city having in this way obli-
gated itself to keep the place in neat order.

ton, and moved to table it. The motion
was lost. The motion to concur prevailed

Small LSrceuies.

For the past few weeks the city has been
comparatively free from the occurrence of
larcenies on big scale, or the commission
of other startling crimes. But there has
been, nevertheless, no perceptible dimiuu-
ton in petit larcencies and the lighter shades
Of offenses against the law. In fact, it
seems that arrests by the police on this ac-
count are more than ordinarily frequent,
there being besides these captures almost
constant inquiry at the police station for
stolen goods aud articles of trling value.
Much stolen property has lately been re-
stored through the medium of the police,
but it is probable that most Of the articles
falling into the hands of thieves are never
regained by their owners. The safest plan
is therefore to prevent the disappearance of
valuables by the necessary precautlon
agaits st the depredations of thieves.
