LongfeIIOw's breakdown.

The correspondent of the Troy Times
wrote as follows about Longfellow's recent
defeat at Saratoga fTha horses run a good
way across the line before they are brought
up. They are brought back to the judges
stand, where the jockeys are weighed of.
As Longftllow came back TOWARDS the
stand 1t was seen that he w2s very lame
and limping. He went on three feet al
most. 1t has broken bis heart, said the
sporting men, to be beaten. II il had done
so, he had better heart in him than half
the men who boast their manhood.
Straigitwsy crowd gathered about the
gallant animal, &c seq him and find out the
nature of his great mishap, lis nigh fore
ankle Joint was swollen and swelling.
There was the outward sign of his injury.
His rider, 2 colored boy from Kentucky,
wrs sadly detected, and said that a
good piece back he felt the hqFee give way
or fall under him; then he stumbled AID a.
most fell: when he came in the shoe on the
famed foot was broken. This lamed horse
had run on his nerve md pluck, in this
MANNED condition, nigh half mile; and
forced the other swift competitor all the
way. Surely his blood told in that terrible
emergency and during that dreadful tor
telligent endurance, which is greater than
gaining race. The disaster was something
like favorite man stricken by great misfor.
tune. The belief among the veterinary
folks is that the tendon near the ankle is
pulled from its fastening, and Longfellow's
racing days are oyer. Other maintain that
the broken shoe cut the Veg and did the
harm. That, is the worst feature Of the
race; the only drawback. 1t was splendid
contest, from first to last; neck and neck
race as you may say all the way, and was
won, perhaps, by the impairment of Long
fellows strength"
A correspondent ofthe New York World
writing from Saratoga under date of the
18th inst, says:
A visit to the stables early this morning
shows that Longfeliow vas badly hurt. He
was lying down in a well-strawea box, with
bis ankle very badly swollen, so nnch SO
tina it is yet disputed question if the ten
dons are broken or not, or whether the an
kle is only swollen from the effects of a Sc
we're sprain. Cooling lotions ere being con-
stantly applied, and the old man, Capt.
Moore, and other horse-men hope that
Longfellow will yet be able to run again.

Az Liberty Han Last Night.

Pursuant to an announcement which yes
terday accompanied the boisterous sheep
skin through the streets of the city, there
was gathering of Republicans at Liberty
Hall last night to hear Judge Honk, of
Knoxville, one of the Grant and Wilson
electors for the State at large. The Hall
was comfortably filled, about one-third of
those present being whites, with here and
there citizen not generally recognized as
an advocate of the Grant and Wilson tick
ct. The meeting was called to order by
Mr.. Rexford, who proposed that Enos Hop
kins, ESQ take the chair. The motion was
adopted by reclamation, and Mfr. Hopkins
at once proceeded to business as master of
ceremonies. Mr.. Hopkins stated the OBJ
iect of the meeting, and introduced Judge
Houk to the crowd. The Judge upon tax
ing the stand said he did not feel in very
good trim for making aspeech, but felt con-
strained by sense of duty to do the best
he could. He spoke something over an
hour in time, having the respectful attention
of lis hearers, with now and then an en-
couraging round of applause. Beyond this
applause there were no indications of en-
thusiasm, and the occasion throughout was
one of more tameness than there was rea-
son to anticipate,

An Essential Of LOTeliness.-To be
entirely beautiful, the hair should be album
dant and lustrous. This is absolutely es-
sential to complete loneliness. The most
regular features, the most brilliant COM
plexion and pearliest teeth fail of their due
effect if the hair be thin, dry or harsh. On
the contrary the plainest face, if it be but
surmounted by luzuriant and silken tresses,
is apt to impress the beholder with a sense
of actual beauty. That crowning ornament
of her sex is, happily, within the reach of
lovely woman, and being as discriminating
as she is lovely, she long ago discovered
that Lyons Kathairon was the sure means
Of securing it. No preparation for the hair
ever enjoyed 1.-THE of it's popularity, AID
no wonder, since it produces such crafty
ing results. Applied TO the waste and bar
ren places of the scalp, it fructides and en-
riches them with new and ample growth.
1t is not of course pretended that ii win do
this if the capacity for reproduction is ez-
tinet, but so long as it remains, that won
derful rehabilitant will assuredly propagate
the germ of the hair into life and activity.

Father schacht.

The Lebanon (Ky,) Standard of the
18th inst. has the following notice of a
gentleman well known and appreciated in
this city:
"Rev. Two Schacht, of Greensboro, deliv-
cred two lectures on temperance at the Ca
tholic Church in this city last Wednesday
aud Thursday evenings. Father Schacht
having been pastor of st. Augustine's
Church, of Lebanon, for considerable
length of time, is well and fAvorably known
here, and large audiences were out to hear
him. He discussed the subject in his usu-
al plain and forcble manner, dwelling with
great earnestness upon the terrible evils OF
intemperance with reference both to the
temporal and the eternal interests of its
victims. He showed conclusively that total
abstinence from Intoxicating beverages is
entirely consistent with health and hsppi-
ness, and that it is the only safe course.
He showed how the inconsiderate use of
liquor as medicine was often instrument
tai in making drunkards, and warned his
hearers to beware of those physicians who
are continually prescribing whisky. He ex-
horted them, in conclusion, to encourage
every sincere effort to save men from the
curse of drink, and to do all in their power
TO diminish the evils of intemperaDce."

ford Nichol, James WhitBorth, T. A. At
"hisnn. Hugh McCrea, and others-Gentle-
men: have received anu utuy colIo.,--- :
your very flattering call upon me to become
a candidate for re election to the Mayoralty.
When the call was published several days
ago my intention was not again to become
q candidate under any circumstances. But
so many citizens have personally urged me
to run again, coupled with your call, that L
feel constrained to yield, Notwithstanding
the sacrifice of much of my private business,
to the wishes of people who have thrice
elected me.
If the policy pursued for nearly three
years past, to get the city out of embar-
RAISING pecuniary difficulties, shall again be
endorsed by the popular voice, shall be
content, IL is the present and future good
of Nashville that ought to animate the
breast of every citizen, high or low, rich or
poor, white or colored. The direction Civ
en- to public affairs by previous Boards and
the existing City Council has been promo
tive of the general welfare. The difficulties
already overcome, as well as those to be met
in the immediate future, are too well known
to require comment. need not add that
am duly grateful for past support, and if
again elected, will try, as heretofore, to dis
charge my duty to all.
Very respectfully, *. j. MORRIS.

An Unruly DarkeY.

Dick Sheridan, AL unruly colored lndl-
vidual, fell into the clutches of the law after
II o'clock on Saturday night, but not until
after he was fred upon twice, and wounded
on both occasions. Dick, who had been
drinking quite freely, had been slashing
around Edgetield generally, and in bis
rounds had assaulted and battered several
of his race. Not satisfied with striking out
from the SHOULDER at bis own sex, he picked
I'D stone and hurled it at an old colored
woman named Patterson, inficting an ugly
cash over the eye a d wounding her severe
". The miscresnt was hunted up, and
after midnight arrested by John W. Lloyd,
the Deputy City Marshal.
While in custody, and when a mittimus
was being made out to send him to the
tombs, Dick suddenly darted out of Weak
leys store and proceeded at Longfellow gait
down Main street. Mr.. Lloyd started in
pursuit, and fired upon his prisoner, wound
ing him in the leg near the knee. This re-
hinder, however, did not stop the pace Of
Dick, who continued making rapid strides
for Nashville. Lloyd and several others
kept on his track, and when nearing the
bridge they came up close on the darkcy,
but he paid no attention to the summons.
Lloyd fred again, this time wounding him
in the arm, which caused hiHl to stop, when
he was captured, apparently suffering con
siderably from the wounds he had received.
After calling in the services of physician to
probe his wounds, Dick was committed to
Jail to await trial upon the charge of assault
and battery with attempt 10 kill.

A letter from LebanoE, Russell county,
in the Abingdon VSrginidn, says: "Nelson
a. Ffailey, of Castles Woods, in this conn
ty, went TO th2 spring to wash, near the
house, when his attention was attracted by
an unusual noise, but seeing notaing which
gave rise to it he started toward the house
and after walking some twenty PAGES he
heard report in the direetion of the spring
louder than he had previously heard, ard
not unlike the firing of gun. He returned
to the spring, and, to his establishment,
found a.large rock cracking and decorating,
as before described, at intervals, the aper
ture in the rock stil gradually but constant
ly increasing in size. These detonations
continued for about twenty-four hours, and
on his returning to the spring next morn
ing, be saw rocks which had been thrown
up of various sizes, some of them weighing
from four to Eve hundred pounds, pres
enting the appearance Of volcanic erup-
tiOn.''

That Nuisance Sh0aId be Aba,esI nj
Once.

To the Editor of the Union and American:
Permit one more appeal to our City
Fathers through your valuable paper against
the filthy nuisance at the corner of Vine
and Broad streets, which the owner seems
determined to force upon all the citizens of
that vicinity against their petitions and
earnest circumstances. The excavation
continues to hold stagnant water. 1t is
exceedingly dangerous to pedestrians.
There has been no pavement and scarcelya
passway for more than eighteen months in
front of this lot on Vine street, one of the
beautiful thoroughfares of the city. We
ask through you, earnestly and most re-
specially of our City Fathers, only that
protection to the comfort and health of our
families that we have right to expect at
their hands, and as taxpayers, 90 protest
against the damages the city is daily liable
TO, in consequence of there being no guard
or defense to protect persons from falling
into said excavation. If some of our au-
thorities would stop only moment and
look, we feel assured this nuisance would
be abated at once. We ask relief, humbly,
prayerfully. MANY TAxPAYERs.

Last Sunday afternoon it was discovered
that Mr.. A. NJ. Morgan, Who lived with his
brother on the Hyde's Ferry Turnpike
about six miles from the city, had commit
ted suicide oy hanging himself in the corn
crib. When his dead body was first seen,
his knees were touching the floor, thus CIV
ing rise to tie inference that death ensued
from strangulation. Justice Alternately, of
that district, summoned a jury of inquest,
whose verdict was that Mr.. Morgan came 10
his death by hanging himself while in fit OF
mental alteration. The funeral of deceas-
ed occurred yesterday afternoon, and was
largely attended by the friends and relatives
of the deceased. Mr.. A. NJ. Morgan was
about 81 yesEs of age, and esteemed by al
who knew him as an honest, industrious
and steady man. .s-

Peyton J. Smith for Senate; G. A. Mathes
for Floater; John Overton, jr., j. M. Harris,
Sam. z. Cannon and w. S. Southworth

mates that the primary system did not
