The Senatorial Question.

At the request of DR.. John T. Gleaves
we make the following statement, having
been respectively chairman and secretary
of the Wilson county delegation to the re-
cent joint convention at Nashville which
nominated him as Democratic candidate
for Floating Senator from Davidson aud
Wilson:
In the preliminary meeting held by the
Wilson county delegation before the session
of the convention, TWO ballots were taken
to decide whom we would present to the
convention as the choice of Wilson county,
the two-thirds rule having been adopted,
and DR.. Gleaves and Col. Hamilton having
both agreed to abide the result. After the
second ballot, neither of the gentlemen
having received two-thirds of the votes,
Col. Hamilton arose and withdrew his
name, stating that he did so for the purpose
of preserving harmony. Thsreupon, Dr..
Gleayes was nominated by acclammation,
and vote of thanks was unanimously ten
dered to Col. Hamilton for his msguani
nous action in Withdrawing his name in
order to prevent discord. The name of DR..
Gleaves was then presented to the joint
convention as the choice of Wilson county,
and he was nominated by acclammation.
L. l.. c. WHITE.
l endorse the above statement as substan-
tally correct. Il is correct in every pSr-
ticular, as new recollect, with The excep-
ton that do not remember that Col. Ham
ilton, in Withdrawing his name, stated
Chat he did so for the purpose Of preserv-
ing harmony" My recollection is that he
stated this: 81 withdraw my name and
DR.. Gleayes can have the nomination"

Where's George Francis,

What has become of that truly great,
and truly modest man-George Francis
Train? The last mention that has been
made of him by the newspapers, was the
report of his having been led out of the
Louisville Convention by one ear, because
he would insist upon it that he had right
to talk there, claiming to be delegate from
Nebras ks, although the delegation from
that State repudiated him with scorn. 1t can't
be possible that the man who has sworn to
free Ireland; the man who was sought after
by Bismarck and Won Moltke during the
Franco-PrusSian war; the man who was
"hail fellow well metz with Pierre Bona
parte and ''Nap." few years age; the man
who was thrown into British bastile; the
man whose movements were closely watch
ed by the police authorities OF all Europe;
the man who built the Union Pacific Rail
road; the man who organized the Credit
Foncier OF America; the man who
was going to bring over tens of
thousands of French emigrants (and who,
thus far, has not induced one to come to
this country; the '.next President of the
United States, "the peoples choice;the man
who organized the "Frt,in Ligue" (.'Ieague"
word); the man who published circulars by
SAAO SnOuoo1Oo Al1N SCliL us OWA
over the land by the tens of thousands, the
man who, short time since, kept the
wires hot in transmitting grandiloquent
messages laudatory of himself; the man
who hoped about on the
stages of the theatre all
over the country, Enthusiastically attired in
blue cut-away coat with brass buttons,
white vest aud gloves, furnishing by bis
manner Of conducting himself, some
grounds for belief in the Darwin theory
it can't be possible that this man has been
effectually squelched by having been eject
ed in the manner described from a political
caucus-a class whom he affects
to despise and hold in contempt. If
he has been If we are to be forever
free, from this time on, of Trains everlast-
ing, bombastic, continuous speechifying,
then the people of this country will owe
debt Of gratitude to the man who took him
by the auricular On the occasion referred
to, which can never be paid, and he should
be hailed as one of the benefactors of the
human race.

The Savings Bank of Memphis,

We find in the Memphis appeal the fol-
lowing card from NJ. J, Wicks, President
of the Savings Bank of Memphis, touching
statement which appeared in the AvG-
Ianche of Sunday. The card is as follows ::
"The statement in the AudlInche of
Sunday, was not correct as TO the trouble
between the Savings Bank of Memphis and
Southern Railroad Security Company.
They did not present check for their bal
ance. Every check presented up to Satur-
day, three O'Clock 10 the afternoon, was
paid.
l proposed to Capt. ]. Jaques, general
manager, and 10 Gen. w. Y. G. Humes, at
torney for the Southern Railroad Security
Company, to pay them fifteen thousand dol
lars early in November, and twenty thou
sand dollars per month for each month
thereafter, until their deposit OF one hun
bred and fifteen thousand dollars was paid,
they making deposits hereafter in such
bank as might suit them, and to secure this
balance to give my individual obligation,
with mortgage upon one hundred thousand
dollars worth of real estate. This was not
satisfactory. They asked that in addition
to the fifteen thousand dollars cash, | should
give them twenty thousand dollars in bills
receivable of theabank, maturing In No
vember or December.
This was about one O'Clock Saturday. l
replied that l did not think [ could safely
do SO, but that would look into my condi.
tion and answer on Monday morning. An
hour after this, found that it was talked of
on the street, and then determined to make
an assignment, putting every one on an
equal footing.
Capt. Jaques assures me he did not tele-
graph for advice. This assertion l believe
TO be true. NJ. j. WICKs, Pres't.

Hotel De Patterson.

Extensive repairs are being made in this
establishment, in order that the guests who
seek its friendly shelter may be entirely Sc
cure from the intrusion of outsiders. The
building has accommodations for one hum
dred and fifty guests, but, owing to various
reasons, there were but forty -four names on
the register yesterday, bat those who pa
tronize the establishment usually stay
sometime, there having been in
stances where they remained several
months and even years. Capt. Patterson
is so very attentive to The interests of those
who patronize his house, and Mr.. jenkins
is so popular as a clerk, that they are worthy
of all the patronage they receive.
Thirteen individuals left the hotel last
Saturday, taking their departure via the
Criminal Court, nine of whom have enter
ed into contract with the State which will
necessitate their living at the State prison
for term of years.
One gentleman, John Tigue by name,
registered yesterday, aud was assigned
suitable quarters. There is an absurd
story to the effect that he transferred, in q
violent manner, certain property from the
possession of the rightful owner to his own.
In consequence of such q r1mor having
been circulated about, Mr.. Tigue decided
to have the matter Investigated in court
ofjustice, and for the better accomplishment
Of this praiseworGhy design, has taken up
temporary residence with Capt. Patterson,
and there can be no doubt, when the truth
is known, that either there is no founda-
ton whatever to this somewhat damaging
aspersion against Mr.. Tigue's honesty of
character, or if it is shown that the property
was taken in the manner indicated, an in
quiry will certainly establish the fact that
Mr.. Tigue merely took possession of it tenn
porariy to prevent its being stolen.
William Smith, Esq, who has
been guest of the Captains,
held pleasant interview yesterday with
Judge Frazier, of the Criminal Court, and
in consequence 0fsome observations made
by the Judge, to the effect that the State
Penitentiary would be charming place of
residence for person of Mr. Smiths pecu-
liar characteristics, the last named gentle
man suddenly determined tomorrow to that
place at once and as he has the utmost con-
fdence in Judge Frazier's judgment in mat
tiers of that kind, he has secured a ten years
lease of suitable quarters in the peniten-
tiary, but he leaves the city with regret,
and with fervent expressions Of gratitude
for the kind treatment he received whilst
making his home under the hospitable roof
of the Hotel de-Pattison.

Mr.. EDITORIALS the Board elect has
taken possession of the City government,
and as each successive Board is expected 70
improve on the management of their pred
ecessors, i'll economy and usefulness, per-
hsps few suggestions would not be inap-
propriate at the present time. therefore
submit the following:
1. Would it be right and proper for the
present Board TO direct tie Finance Com
mittee not to audit and pay any account
whatever in which any member or officer
of the city authorities are directly or indS-
rectly interested. (See provisions of amend
ed charter.)
2. The Board pass an ordinance directing
the StreetC Ommittee, through the Chairman
to grade, MGeAddnize and gutter the
streets in regular order to the corporate
line, commencing at the river, and as they
finish esch street let the water pipe be ex-
tended with the same-then the benefit OF
the city improvements will be equal and
Just. With the completion of laying the
water pipe and making the street, have the
sidewalks also made complete.
3. 10 the management of schools some
thing ia necesssry-to secure the services Of
teachers of the best grade, who will instruct
the children and hear Rotations, and this
improve the present plan of hearing recita-
lions only, and telling them they must learn
their lessons at home and get their parents
or guardians to instruct, as their work is
only to hear recitations and give hand, arm
and marching exercises.
4. In appropriation Of moneyes to pur-
chase corporation supplies, ETC.; to SO guard
the same as to prevent any member from
being beneficiary OF said fund.
Our past and present oppressive taxation
warns US to guard against tgl,ciSe legislation
and Encouragement.

Gard from Benton snowden. ESQ

To the voters of Davidson county-HaV-
ing heretofore announced myself as can
didate to represent Davidson county IN the
General Assembly, take this method of
Withdrawing from the canvass. At the
time of announcing myself as a candidate
was of the opinion that my candidacy
would not endanger the success of the
Democratic party. Subsequent events,
however, induced me to believe that the
only course that should be pursued in the
present campaign by every true patriot
would be an earnest and cordial support Of
the Democratic party and its nominated
candidates. 1 deem it best for me to with
draw from the contest.
In doing so tender my sincere thanks to
the friends who have given me assurances
of their support, and urge upon them to
join with me in one grand rally around the
entire Democratic ticket, from President
down to the Legislature.

In our river columns several day ago,
mention was made of the new steamboat
being built by Capts. Lowell and Byers, and
which they have named John S. Bransford,
in compliment to our well known citizen.
Msj. Bransford, prior to the war was citi
zen of Louisville, KY, connec' ed with the
well known wholesale house Of Sneddy &
Bransford, and afterward at Memphis in
the wholesale establishment of Bransford,
Goodbar & Co. he is at present the Gen
eral Agent of the Louisville and Nashville
railroad at this place. In all these depart
ments, Maj. B. has established high cha
racter for integrity, and is possessed Of the
most superior qualifications as a business
man of tact and energy. The compliment
therefore could not have been bestowed up
on one of our citizens more worthy, and
the owners have displayed good taste in the
selection of name for their Lew craft.

MANUFACTURING SLACK COAL.
Success of e: F. LOiseau's Expert
ments.


1t appears that the Lehigh Coal and
Navigation Co., with capital of $32, 000,-
900 are now conducting Mr.. E. +. Loiseau's
experiments in manufacturing anthracite
slack into solid coal. We clip the follow
ing extract from long article in the Mauch
Chunk (Pa.) Coal Gazette on the subject:
All the attempts made in this country to
manufacture marketable artificial fuel
from the refuse of the coal have been
failures, and it was considered quite an i'm
possibility ever to make fuel from the an
thracite coal slack. In tn s field of science
and industry, q success at last must be re-
corded. The efforts Of Mr.. Z. +. Loiseau,
a French gentleman, whose process has
been described at length in our columns,
have been crowned with success. All those
who have witnessed during the last week
the fine burning qualities Of Mr.. Loiseau's
coal, at the Mansion House, and at the
same time its lasting qualities, agree that it
is a perfect success. Although manufac-
tured with defective machinery, it de mon
strates conclusively the practicability of the
process. Mr.. Loiseau has succeeded in re-
ducing the proportions of clay to five per
cent and in rendering the coal perfectly
waterproof.
"Wednesday OI last Week, q large PAbyt
composed of the board of directors and OF
the principal stockholders of the Lehigh
Coal and Navigation Company, were at
the Mansion House. Fires with Mr.. Lois
eau's coal were burning In all the CRATES
and stoves of tn e house, and they attracted
considerable attention. The good quail
ties Of the coal were too evident
to be denied, and the impression was uni
versally favorable.
We understand that at meeting Of the
board of directors held the same day, Mr..
E. W. Clark, the able President of the
company, was duly authorized to apply to
Mr.. Loiseau's process to the works at
Nesquehoning. New and appropriate ma
chinery will be erected, and we may expect
that by next spring, the coal made from the
waste anthracite will be on the market.
Mr.. Loiseau has been untiring in his eff
forts to bring bis invention to a practical
success. He had to contend with strong
prejudices, but bis energy was equal to the
emergency, and we sincerely congratulate
him on his deserved success. We also con-
graduate the officers of the company, who
had the sagacity TO discern the advantages
of Mr.. Loiseau's process, and who have
spared neither time nor money to allow
him to demonstrate its practicability,

Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad.


Relative to the above road the Oh alta
nooga Herald, Oct. 2S, says:
The repairs on the Alabama and Chatta-
nooga road go bravely On. A strong force
of men have bsen sent down the line to
raise an engine from the ditch which was
thrown off during the Alabama rule, in a
collision with an Alabama Central train.
From Chattanooga to point tfty-six
miles beyond Alfalfa the road is in the best
of condition, and the repairs will, in few
days, bring up the road to first-class
throughout its entire length.
New rolling stock is expected to arrive
from Boston early this week. The freight
and passenger travel has increased 50 ra-
pidly that the present rolling stock is put
to its utmost capacity to fill the demand.
All the engines and cars are kept constant
ly on the road.
Several new fat cars are now being built.
A very extensive transfer platform has
been completed within the last few days,
to be used in transferring freight to and
from the Memphis and Charleston road.
The regular passenger train now leaves
al 7:30 A. NJ. An irregular mixed freight
and passenger train goes out at 6 o'clock in
the morning. An evening passenger train
will soon be put on, which will connect
withthe East Tennessee, Virginia and
Georgia road. Two sleepers are now being
fitted up for this Train.
