POLICE piCEINGs.

Business at Judge Duling's rendezvous
was remarkably quiet yesterday morning,
there being hut three cases disposed of.
Harriet Cape, a colored servant, was
brought before the court on the charge of
disorderly conduct, her employer com plain
ing that she returned an impudent answer
when he bad asked her civil question rel
alive to certain household affairs. A for
mer employer of Harriet's testified that she
was an excellent servant, but that she was
unfortunate ly possessed of q rude, abrupt
way, and always talked in loud tone of
voice, calculated to si9e rise to the impress
sion that she was impudent and SUlky when
she really was not. She was hned $3.50.
"a low, sweet voice, is lovely thing in
woman," Harriet, and you should cultivate
that quality by all mems.
David Wilson is wanted. David has been
sought for, but thus for, David has not
been found. Judge Duling is desirous of
allowing bis eagle eye to rest upon David
Tor trief periody as hs wants to fine him
Tor little wrong-dOiDg on The pGrt Of the
latter, which occurred some time ago. Our
readers doubtless remember of pitched
battle having been fought out at the Fair
grounds about 3 month ago, in which battle
Emiline Bent and Fanny Chapman we're
the principals. OF course our readers
don't take any interest in reports of affairs
of that character, bnt they read them
in order to have an opportunity 10 ftoWn
upon such b. utal exhibitions, and to dis.
claim upon the degeneracy of the age, and
it is necessary they should post themselves,
else they would not be in position to frown
and disclaim to advantage. 1t has trans
PRED lately that David Wilson was one of
the 'moviDg spirits" in the affair referred
to, and the court is anxious 10 find him, in
order to present him with ticket of ad-
mission TO the T6-Rhouse as a
sort Of reward of merit
for his enterprise and activity; for if
there is any one thing the court admires, it
is enterprislng and active young men. The
Misses Brent and Chapman were present
yesterday; and cheerfully told all they knew
about Wilson's having hired hack to take
them to the scene OF conflict. and of his
prominence in the whole aft ir, and now
the only thing which stands in the way of
David receiving the reward he is entitled to
for his valuable services on that occasion, is
the difficulty the police experience in laying
their hands upon him. 1t is the general
supposition that David has left the city and
has fOrOOtten to leave his nrasent addrnsq

Soldiers OF the Mexican War.

To the Union and American.
1t is now twenty five years since the sCr-
vivors of the Mexican war returned from
that glorious struggle, which resulted in
such important acquisitions to our territory,
and gave impetus TO the development of the
Pacific slope, and the Government has fail
ed to properly recognize the claims of these
gallant veterans, through whose proves
these great objects we're contaminated.
The soldiers Of the Mexican war are well
entitled to be placed on the pension roll. If
energetic ard determined policy on the part
Of the survivors was agreed upon, favorable
legislation might be obtained from Con-
gress. 1heTe are many Mexican soldiers in
Tennessee whose concerted action might
have considerable influence at Washington.
Let them meet together and send as their
representative Gen. Frank Cheatham to
the Convention of Mexican War Veterans,
to be held in Washington on the 18th JAN
uary, 1874. "BUZ."

charter, and finding the way of Obtaining
one, for such an organization. Nearly two

members, which has been in operation three
years, and reports show its net profits over

thereby own for themselves nice homes,

ALL A MISTAKE.
A COurter-J OurnaI Innocent VIC
timiZed.

utulZtus
Our readers did not, of course, fail TO
read in orr issue of yesterday, the extract
from tha Courier Journal of the day pre-
vious, giving an account of the men who
held the lucky ticket in the Louisville Lot
terry. 1t now appears that the COurier-J FOUR
nays young man was badly sold, IS in their
issue of yesterday that say:
"The information was obtained by our
reporter from two OF the men named, Hen
ry Baas F. j. Betchart, who
pretended to have drawn the prize
with what purpose we can not
guess, as it is too important q matter to
jest about, and, besides, there is no point
to such a joke. 1t required the statement
of falsehood to deceive our reporter, who
took his informants for honorable men,
and therefore gave credence to their pre-
tensions. The hoax was at once silly and
poor. 1t appears that the ticket held by
these men bore the number which drew the
capital prize, but was ticket in the second
instead of the last drawing. We are puz-
zled to know what could have induced the
men to make false report in the matter,
as they must have known that in vol&ntsri-
ly ithpeachiDg their own veracity they were
to that extent impsiring their own credit
with business men. The winner of the
capital prize remains unknown"

A Card from Councilman Reed.

To the Union and American:
In your issue of yesterday morning no.
tjce paragraph, under the head of "Rather
Romantic" which does me injustice. 1 de-
sire to explain, in as few words as possible,
that portion of my remarks to which allu-
sion is made in your article, so as to set
myself right before those who are interested
in the subject. DR.. Atchison, in his very
urgent speech in behalf of his bill, took the
position that the late visitation of cholera
in Nashville and its severe prevalence here
for a few weeks, YVES attributable almost
solely to the want of the necessary sever
aga in the city. On this point l took issue
with the doctor, and asserted the Eelief that
if Nashville had been as well severed as
any city in the Union, the cholera would
have come to our city, and have prevailed o
perhaps as large an extent as it did, and
/ bel eyed that the disease was controlled
more by the habits and manner of living
than BY any or all other causes, and that
100000 spent in relieving the wants of the
Door and distressed would have accom-
plished more good, or prevented more cases
of cholera, than the expenditure of mil
lion of dollars on sewerage. Abiding TO
the past visitation of the disease, aud hav-
ing no reference to the future, further
stated that l was not opposed TO proper
sewerage system for the city, but feared
the bill under consideration, if passed,
would lead us into large and extravagant
use of the public monies, which at preseI
The people, already heavily bur ened with
taxes, were not able TO bear, and that
| was not then prepared to vote for the bill,
but desired further time to consider and
investigate it, and, therefore, moved to
postpone action on the same until the next
meeting of the Board, which motion failed,
and the bill passed under a suspension of
the rules. l am opposed to hasiy legsla-
ton, and thought a very recent event
which occurred in the Legislative Il Ill OF
our city ought to have deferred other menu
bers of the Council from acting too hastily.
l allude to the time when our city was
sold out 10 the gas company against my
earnest opposition; and when, after the
people had learned what had been done,
such hasty steps were made back to the
City Hall to meet in extraordinary session
to reconsider and 10 undo what thsy had
