DEBoRAH.-The theater was crowded
again last night to witness the perform
ance of Piper's troupe. The play was
good all the way through. Miss Dargon
sustained the character of the deserted
Jewess admirably. She rather became
than represented the characteristic
daughter Of Israel, when enraptured and
aglow with the Orient maiden's first
love, when doubtinr, when rejected,
when an outcast and a beggar. and when
finding her vengeance at hand she re-
Tents and her later hate gives way and is
swallowed up in her earlier affection:
The tragic Of the piece was well acted
altogether, while Peter and Rose
brought down the house every time they
appeared, and kept up the laughter
as long as they remained in sight.
Camille will be played tonight.
The play is too well known to
need comment. We bespeak a
large, appreciative and delighted audi
ence. Call early to get your seats. or
you may find yourself in the same box
with some of those last night, who got
no seats at all.

The lecturer, tho Rev. A. N. Fisher.
sk.Aed IN introduction Of his theme, that
the story Of the deluge il NO mere legend
Of the dead past. II il an appropriate
theme Of pulpit discussion. since its i'm
peachment Is fact of history discredits
the entire account of the divine admin
istration of old world affairs, and de-
Drives ne of Q knowledge of the prin-
ciples controlling in Gods government
of men.
As preliminary to presentation of the
evidence supporting the account in Cen
esis, it Is important that one or two pop
ular errors on the subject be corrected.
1t is very generally supposed that the
earth at the time of the flood was as
densely populated as now. But scripture
affords little ground for such theory.
Noah was in the tenth generation from
Adam, and although antediluvians lived
to number their years by centuries, there
ia no reason to believe that the average
increase in any generation was greater
than now. It is wholly probable that in
the time of Noah the entire population
of the globe was no greater than the
present population of Storey county,
nor was said population dispersed
abroad.
Another source of difficulty with the
story as found in Genesis is its supposed
teaching concerning the extent OF the
de]uge. That it was universal rs regards
the human population is unquestionably
taught. but that the entire globe was sub
merged to the depth of five miles and
more is not stated. The laws Of script
ural Interpretation do not require such
rendering of the account. Science pre-
sents weighty argument against the
theory of universal deluge.
Astronomy objects that an increase Of
ten miles in the equatorial diameter Of
the earth would occasion a change in its
orbit and hurl disaster through the entire
planetary system.
Geology declares not only that there are
no traces of a general food since the
historical period but that certain regions
rs for instance the volcanic district OF
AuverRne in central France, presents in
disputable evidence that they have not
been covered by water since man became
An inhabitant of the earth.
Zoology contends with much reason,
that building of the dimensions of the
Ark could not contain the animals neces-
sary to be preserved alive in the event Of
universal deluge, and the variety and
quantity of provision required for theil
sustenance during an entire year. Prof
Agassiz says that there are more than
five thousand species which must have
been represented in such general deliver.
ance. That any such assemblage of AM
mails from all parts of the earth was at
tempted is incredible. Their gathering
even would argue more stupendous
miracle than is recorded in sacred writ.
The speaker here rested the argument
deserving for the succeeding lecture to
be delivered next Sabbath evening, pre-
sentati0n of the evidence which, in his
judgment, abundantly demonstrates the
truthfulness of the Mosaic account of
the deluge.

CARsoN AND THE SUNDAY Law IN THE
SrxArs.-Mr. Lockwood's bill for the
better observance of the Sabbath was
read in the Senate, yesterday, and was
spoken for forcibly by himself and other
Senators, Mr.. McClinton among the
number. Mr.. McC. thought it a pecu-
liarly good bill and he was pleased, for
the sake of Carson, that it was introdu-
ced. It is one Of the worst towns IN
Nevada. Whisky shops and holes IN
the wall where they gamble and swear
meet the view wherever you turn; ana
all this-to demonstrate the hopeless
wickcdness of the town-in despite OF
the efforts of clergy representative IN
point of culture and e.oquence. Gam,
bling in fact has become SO universal
that the church herself could not keep
aloof-they actually gamble Che did not
state the game whether whisky poker or
what) for the support of the church.
The bill must take effect pretty s0on-at
least by the time the Legislature adJonrhs
and carries its benign influence away
with it-for the town is very bad. Pres
ident pro TEN. Crawford reminded the
gentleman that the Legislature was still
in session. At Aurora (McClmton lives
at Aurora) they have only sermon once
in u way by an intinerant preacher. and
vet the people behave decently. Ihey

wood asked him about the Vigilance
Committee :? Mr.. McChnton replied that
Aurora was almost as bad as Carson be-
fore the committee was organized. Mr..
Moore asked Mr.. Lockwood when he LETT

By this it will be seen that the dlgnltled
Senators do sometimes joke

forced to turn upon coarse brute who
interrupts every ontburst of passion on

gusted with the chief scenes which occur
under these circumstances. An audi

EPISCOPAL CHURCH. After morning

EPISCOPAL CHURCH. After morning
prayer and the singing Of the old Mis-
sionary hymn: "From Greenland's Icy
Mountains" the Rev. Mr.. Allen spoke
on the foreign mission If the Episcopal
Church, and of the duty of every disciple
of the Master to contribute literally
toward the support of the Missionaries
of the Cross who devote themselves to
this service are the highest type of he
rOes almost saviOrs to the human race.
For the great and important work in
which they are so unsel6shly engaged,
the speaker would appeal for aid, in the
name of Him who came to lead erring,
homeless children back to the Fathers
count of the condition of the various
missions which the Episcopal Church
has established in other lands. The
Greek Mission has been under the care
of the Rev. DR.. and Mrs. Hill for nearly
forty years, and has exerted great influ-
ence throughout Greece. The West
African Mission, under the charge of
Bishop Payne for thirty-five years, has
produced a wonderful change along the
despised, down-trodden coast of Africa.
There are twenty thousand communi-
cants in the Episcopal African Church,
and fifteen thousand children in the Sun
day Schools. A great and good work is
in progress in China and Japan, and the
results of past efforts are very encour-
aging for future labors. Mr.. Allen said,
in conclusion, that he had appointed
Ash Wednesday as the time for the pre-
sentation of the offerings of the men,
bers of his Church for Foreign Mis-
sions." He hoped that the amount
would be in proportion to their means,
and an unmistaksble evidence that they

RIVER NEWS.

The river is rising rapidly, with
enough water on Harpeth Shoals to
float the Great Eastern. Twenty years
ago this spring, the river overfowed its
banks three times.
All the steamers passing up are
loaded to their full capacity, whilst
there is but very little freight for down
stream boats.
Our warehouse men are complain
ing that the packets load to their ca
pacity at Cairo, and leave tobacco at
way landings for this market. This is
not new complaint, but occurs an
nually, ans we expect will continue
until GAINESVILLE has a commanding
interest in a steamboat. The owners
of Cumberland river boats are not
willing to leave storage at Cairo, for
an uncertainty at way landings.
One of our tobacco men suggests
that the warehouse proprietors, char
ter small boat like the Ella Hughes,
for a few trips, until the regular pack
cts get the press of business from Cairo,
when there will be no further trouble
or use for chartered boat.

WHETHER the movement in favor of
a Constitutional Convention, be wise,
results only can determine. No Con-
stitution has ever been framed without
real or supposed defects and one never
will bet is an impossibility. Then
an important inquiry for the people, is
whether the changes likely to be made,
will pay for cost of the Convention ?
We appreciate the importance of
wise Constitution as the basis of good
government, but cannot lose sight OF
the fact that Constitutions have less to
do with judicious legislation than is
generally believed. Were this not
true, how does it happen that the legis-
lature holds in suspense, year after
year, the constitutional provision rela
tive to the assessment of the poll tax
and its appropriation to the school
fund? We go for change when change
is palpably needed, but when the test
of experience does not demand it,
change is mere wild experiment and
gives an instability to government, I'M
settling and demOralizing public senti-
ment without single compromising
advantage. Some philosopher has
said that the worst form of government
wisely and steadily administered, is
better than the best, badly administer
ed. When We hear the constitution
denounced as defective in this, or that
particular, We can not repress the
thought that, perhaps, the legislature
and Judiciary are more at fault than
the constitution in which we can find
no barrier to such legislation as will
promote the general welfare andsecure
the rights of individuals. We think
we can see amendments to the consti-
tuition which, we think, would place
the judiciary and the courts on wiser
basis and make them more efficient in
the cause of economical justice, but
others may entertain widely different
opinions. And hence the utter futility
Of changes with the expectation of re-
conciling all opinions. The constitu-
ton would not be human if it had no
defects and human changes will leave
upon it, the same marks of mans i'm
perfection.

can set on foot useful enterprises and
by mutual encouragement and patron
age, make them all prosperous. Thus
from small beginnings, large results
can be created and the impoverished
South become great and rich without
the intervention of dangerous eombi-
nations of capital which, while they
may serve to swell the Golfers of the
favored few, as certainly impoverish
the many. General prosperity secures
an equable circulation of the curren-
cy. but a concentration of capital with
draws it from the circumference to the
center, and hence the wisdom of any
system of cooperation that will impart
health and vigor to local prosperity
and develope agriculture-the chief of
all vocations.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
Memorial of the State Teachers As.
ISOLATION to the General Assem-.
bly, of the State of Tennessee.

The undersigned have been appoint
ed by the Tennessee State Association,
to memorabilia your honorable body,
in relation to the establishment of a
system of public free schools.
The importance of the free schools
of such a character, as will fit them to
educate properly the children of re-
public, is admitted by all; and the de-
plorable deficiency of Tennessee in
schools of such character, is equally
apparent to every citizen of State.
The friends of popular education
from every part of Tennessee, united
together under the name of the Tenn
essee State Teachers Association"
have been laboring for years past, and
labor without money and without price,
to procure the adoption of a system of
public free schools, not poor men S
schools to which the sons of the poor
may come to get an education as boon
or charity, or to which the sons of
the rich may come with feelings ofsupe-
riority oyer their fellow school mates,
but schools to which tho SONS of the
poor and the rich shall come with feel
ings of equality and independence, and
schools too, whose excellence shall at
tract all the children of our State. and
which shall become the objects Of
pride and affection to every one Of our
citizens.
To accomplish such ends as these
will require the adoption of isjudicious
system of schools, and will also require
apple means, But great difficulties
surround LIS in adopting a judioious
system, and in raising the necessary
means. These difficulties are the great
diversity of opinions as to systems. and
our embarrassed financial condition.
The State Teachers Association, at
its recent meeting, felt and fully APP
preciated all the difficulties surround
ing Us, and these difficulties were in
the way of its own harmoniaus action.
STATE SYSTEM vs.. COUNTY SYSTEM.
Some Of It's members wure earnest
supporters of an exclusively State sys-
tenn of free schools, some earnestly in
favor of an exclusively county system,
and some equally earnest in favor of
district system; and, among them.
there was great diversity of opinion
as 10 the mode of raising the means to
support any system; but fortunately
theS came together in spirit of con-
eession. each seeming datsrmined to
yield what ne could of his oYn favor
