meme ed, or, in other words, both Houses
have again met.
Sunday in Nashville Everybody goes
TO church. In the morning every church
is crowded so that it is difficult for per-
son to get a seat within hearing distance of
the minister.
1t is very interesting for persons who
have nothing to do to walk to the Peniten-
tiary Sunday School, to see the means of
grace given to the prisoners. Some $50
men, women and children have, after re-
ceiving the privilege of hearing a sermon,
an opportunity of attending Sabbath
School, where ladies and gentlemen go
out and offer their services gratutously, to
teach the prisoners confined to read and
reverence Gods Holy Word. Some %
teachers were present yesterday and q ute
number of visitors. | understand there
have been Some 46 of the prisoners bap-
tised on profession of faith. Your Sem
ator, Mr.. Richards, spoke to the convicts
last Sunday, and number of them re-
quested the Major to % bring that man
back again.
Yesterday morning he spoke in McKen-
dree Sunday school in the afternoon at
the NJ. E. Church, and at night delivered
an address, plain and to the point, to a
large assembly in the same church. The
congregation seemed pleased at his re-
marks.
Sunday night a sermon was preached
to our Legislature. Many were absent,
yet the Rev. gentleman succeeded in ar
resting the attention of the few who were
there.
The Senate met this morning at 1870
o'clock. Prayer was offered by Rev. Mr..
Inman, implering the blessings of God
upon the deliberations of this body.
You will see by the dispatches the bust
ness done, The following is the most inn
DOrtant business of the QaV
!. y memorial offered by Mr.. White,
in regard to the death of Hon. Horace
Greeley, consoling his friends and relatives
in their hour of trial and affection. He
made fine speech, having n good effect.
I'd. Mr.. Coulter offered Il bill to prevent
the selling of liquors to minors or even the
giving away under very heavy penalty
and the taking away of the license on Sec
ond offense. All the members are in favor
of this, and agree without regard to party
that this bill demands the attention of all.
Another bill by Mr.. Snipes, making sellers
of liquors responsible for the actions of
parties under the influence was very strict
indeed. Both of these bills were referred
to the committee on Tipping and Tipping
Houses, and you may expect something
. lively from that direction.
The great event of this week will be the
inauguration of Governor Brown on next
Wednesday, as the committee appointed
to wait upon him reported that it would
be his will and pleasure to take the oath
on that day. d. J. r..
