THE CONGRESSIONAL 0LOBE - orr
PROPOsITJON.

The resolution Of tho Joint Committee on
Printing in regard to the publication Of the
debates in Congress cones up this morning in
the House as the unfinished business. We
desire to ray few words on the subject, ~
follows:
|. At the last session of Congress IN act
was passed directing the Joint Committee on
Printing to advertise for proposals fo' the re-
porting printing and publication q the de-
bates for the term Of six years, bC5nning on
the 4th Of next March. Congress we need
not remind members, took this a0lon from a
conviction that the cost Of the Congressional
Globe was entirely too high and rom an hon
est determination to effect aS unny economi.
cal reforms NJ possible.
.. In answer to the advertisement Of the
committee three different patIcs or firms, Of
which VIC were one made bus for the work.
The Congressional printer also submitted an
estimate, The present publishers Of the de-
bates declined to compete. hut, subsequently,
after the bids were made public, offered a
proposition which, II accepted, will, accord
ing to the figures Of the chairman Of the
Joint Committee on the part Of the House.
reduce the expense Of the work about thirty
seven thousand dollars for the next six yoars.
The result shows that We were the lowest
bidder; that II the work Ia done upon the
basis we have offered the saving to the Gov
crnmcnt will be upwards Of half million Of
dollars for the next six years.
3. The bids were considered by the Joint
Committee on Printing, and q resolution, ac'
comPanied by report, was presented to the
Senate and House, recommending that the
contract be made with us. The resolution
provides that we shall give good and sufficient
security for the performance Of the work
that In the event of failure the committee
shall make arrangements with the Con
gressionAl printer and transfer il to the Gov
ernment priutiug-oiflcc. Every precautioT
that 1t is possible to take to protect the inter
ests Of tho Government has been taken. Il
ease we fail, Congress has the remedy In IT.
own hands. There Is our bond and the pen
atty provided.
4. We have made this bid in good faith
As a practical printer, with an experience o
nearly fifteen years, we know that the worl
can he done upon the estimate We have made
aad we stand ready to d2 1t. The case
plain, and docs not need any explanation.
Congress means that half a million dollar
shall he taken out Of the Treasury during tn
next siX years, let 1t continue the prescn
contract. But II 1t Is honestly, as We believe
is, in favor OF reform and economy the roa
/, so plain that no one can fail to see II.

Remarkable Coincidence.

Erwin TAFT, a nephew of Mrs. James
Woods, died in this city Sunday morning. He
was student in the University Of Nashville
HIS disease was meningitis. He was a res
ident of Wilcox county, Alabama. Last
Saturday while suffering from this disease,
be received from his father Mobile paper
containing this paragraph:
"Meningitis has lately found many VIC
Tins in Wilcox county. The Vindtcatoi
saws: "Capt. Robert TAFT andsCspt. Pritch
ard from feelings of humanity, recently
cured a negro man who was dreadfully al
fected with the disease. They laid him out
on two planks, and taking large pot filled
with the common pine tops, they steamed
his spinal column from his hips up to his
neck. They administered heavy doses o.
uuinine. Their treatment acted ike
charm, and the negro is now perfectly
WELL"
This is indeed remarkable coincidence
that this young man, in The last hours O
life, while suffering from that fatal disease
meningitis, should receive from his distant
father, who knew nothing of his sickness
a paper, containing what the latter perhaps
believed sovereign remedy for the IL Ines
from which the son was dying.

A New EnterDrise.

An effort is bow being made 10 organize
q company for the purpJse of manufactur.
inc railroad freight cars in this city. With.
in the past few months timber sutnclenl
for the construction of some two thousand
cars has been purch ased South of Tennes'
nessee. and shipped to the Northern States
and made up into cars for Southern rail
roads, These cars we understand are man
ufactured at profit of about 500 per cal
at a prosperous establishment in Indiana
and very sensibly the question is asked
why not establish mandatory nearer the
base of supplies. 1t will require fully nj
teen thousand cars to stock Southern Rail
roads at the present time, not to say any
thing of the demand from year to year
We are glad to notice that some OF our
most prominent citizens have taken stock
in the proposed enterprise, and we hope tc
see the company soon organized, and the
car factory in operation.

AT large assembly of students convened yes
terday at the University of Nashville, Mr.. u.

President, in few beautiful and appropriate
remarks, announced the object of this meeting

appointed for this purpose, made the following
report:
A single week has hardly elapsed since ERWIN
TAFT moved among us healthy, strong and flush
with all the ennCbling hopes of a b lddlng man

lenting grasp OF death. He was young man OF
spotless honor and decided character. While a
dignified reserve ever marked his career there
are few among us so unanimously ADMIRED 1or

RAILROAD ACCIDENT.
Two Cars Play Leap Frog Down an
Em bauk raeut


Yesterday morning the Lebanon train on
the Tennessee and Pacific railroad, near its
junction with the Chattanooga track met
with an accident. The embankment being
new the track gave way and the wheels of
the baggage car and box Car were thrown
from the rails. The train was composed OF
several coal cars in front of the above two,
and passenger coach which was in the
rear. When Lucas, the engineer, felt the
jar caused by the two cars jumping the
cross ties, he reversed his engine. This
caused the trucks to fly from under the
baggage and box cars as they flew the track
and bounded down an embankment fifty
feet below.
The rear trucks of the baggage car being
knocked agaiust the passenger coach
(Which was filled with persons, forum ately
prevented its being thrown from the track.
The baggage car, containing six boxes OF
bacon (2,000 pounds in weight), trunks,
an iron safe, etc., in its fall turned over six
times before reaching the bottom of the
embankment, where, with its contents, ii
was shivered, burying in the debris Mr.. W.
| E. Gum, baggage master, and AL. E
Baird, express messenger. Both, however,
crawled out, the former having received a
cut in the frontal bone of the head, and
the latter slightly bruised. Mr.. Dunn bled
at the nose, and, his breast being bruised
he may have received internal injuries
When the train commenced jump.
ing over the cross-ties Mr.. Gum
realized the danger aud heroically started
for the platform to uncouple the baggage
car from the passenger car, in order to pre-.
vent it being thrown off. Ere he reached
the door CT the baggage Car he was knocked
down by heavy trunk. We are glad tC
know that he is not dangerously injured.
Such conduct deserves the commentator
of every one. A large crowd collected a.
the wreck, and much property sp1led from
the shiyered trunks was seized upon b.
thieves. The loss to the railroad will be at
least $500. The track has been repaired
and trains run on schedule time.
