THE aldermen of Nashville are belliger-
ent. They go to their meetings armed to
the teeth like highway robbers and street
bullies. Aafew days ago COMMITTEES Of
aldermen reported on some charges of
- fraud on stone contracts Their report
reflected on one of the board who denounc-
ed the report as false. One Of the Com
mittee advanced with his hand in his
pocket. The police and Recorder interfered
and the belligerents Were called on to dis
gorge. Each handed out revolver. One
then handed out second revolver from
his breast pocket. The enterprising pa
pers of the city fail to report how many
they had in their boots. OF such are the
Aldermen of Nashville. But seriously, is
{ 1t not time this barbarous custom Of going
about loaded down with pistols was made
odious by public sentiment and dangerous
by prosecutions in the courts?

Col. A. s. Colyer, Of Nashville, is in
Pennsylvania among the iron furnaces and
coal beds. He has been figuring some on
the coal trade in that section and gives
these facts: shSzAkxb ~
The rolling mill of Jones & Laughlin
consumes daily ten thousanI1 bushe1s OF
coal, and their blast furnace consume s.
600 bushels Of coke.sse Coal la mab this
the richest portion Of the uH1ted hates.
We have in Tennegsee the col to nike US
as rich, and in iron we are hr sa&ead of
Pennsylvania. The Statement Of a startl-
ing fact sometimes sets people to thinking.
The coal dug in Pennsylvania last year
would make train of cars, allowing 10
tons to the ear go feet long, which would
reach from the Atlantic to the Pacific
ocean and the coal dug in England in the
year 1872, would make a. train Of ears
which would go twice around the word
and have 30, 000, 600 tons not shipped for
want of cars. A. s. COLYER.

a swindle OF the above named sscoundrel
who sent circulars through the country So
Letting funds from offlceholders for secret
fund used by the President during the last
campaign. The Republican says of it.
Each day develops something new in re-
gard to this swindle which lifts it entirely
out Of the catalogue of common rascality
and places it on par with those which have
hitherto attained 81 national xnotoriety.
Since Saturday number Of Circulars have
been received by the Postmaster General
asking for information as to the genuine
ness of the aforesaid circular. Instead of
being q, twenty housand-dollar swindle,
it is thought that when all the postlaasters

swindle of hundred thousand dollars

Here the men and boys have been, and are,
taught practical farming, under the personal
supervision Of Miss Bell, and are shown the ca
pabilities OF the island, on which the people
affirmed nothing could be raised. The good
effect of this labor are seen now, in the garden
patches about their own cabins, and in the ea-
gerness with which they take any flowers Tor
cultivation al home.
Close by is the red school-house where Miss
Dell teaches four hours daily, for about seven
months in the year, the common Engl!sh bran
ches. The children are bright and interested
in their lessons cleanliness is taught as car
dinal virtue, and the young men and women
will be respectable members Of the community.
Sabbath dav there is a school, and morning
meeting where Miss Bell teaches the simple
gospel truths. Occasionally Minister from
Beaufort or elsewhere breaches to them and
finds welcome. Some rough shelves bear the
few books collected for the use Of the young
people, who read eagerly biographies, histories
and 80 forth. of which there is judicious se-
lection.
Miss Bells influence is felt through all the
region, and she desires earnestly that her hands
may be strengthened She is about fifty wears
Of age, and the vicissitudes and changes OF her
life have fitted her well for this arduous work.
With all her decision, size has great tact with
these people, aud to them she is TIE tdto. She
sympathizes in their joys and sorrows, feeds
the hungry, clothes the naked, visits the sick,
and is absorbed thoroughly in their interests.
Hers is solitary life, with no society for an
educated person, and few could endure 1t for
any length Of time.

TWO DARING ATTEMPTS, LAST NIGHT-THE woQLD-
BE ROBBERS IN THE CELLS.
Last night, about IL o'clock, as Jesse Watson
residing at 2l4 Jefferson street, was returning
from one of his society meetings, he was attack
ed at the corner OF Second and Orange streets,
by two negro men. short, sharp conflict gave
him the mastery over his assailants, and he
started on his way home. At Second and JEFF
ferson, however, the would-be robbers again
overlook him and another struggle ensued in
which Mr.. W. sustained several bruises and the
dislocation OF his left arm.
The noise created by this second assault
daughter, who were still ont of bed awaiting his
return. They at once ran to the assistance Of
Mr.. W., saving him furtherinjury and his pocket
book, which was the object OF the assault. DR..
West reset the arm and Mr.. Watson is able to
be about to-day.
At later hour in the night, Mr.. William
Strickland was assaulted by two men in Orange
street, between 9th and 9th, and all attempt
was made to relieve him of hi4 pocket book. He
gave fight and all alarm at the same time, and
was able to hold one of the men, isaiah Temple,
until assistance arrived. The other man, Geo.
Morris, fled, but was arrested this morning, and
both now in the cells held in Il 900 security
each for court.
Mr.. Strickland is a resident of Chesapeake
City, Md. and came here yesterday to attend
Market.
The two colored men now in prison are be-
lieved to be the same ones who made the as
sault on Mr.. Watson. His daughter, in fact
thinks she recognizes them as the parties.

jungle in the centre of the island. The inhab-
tants live along the shore, and have most pre-

merest necessaries Of life, and the poorest are
vretched beyond everything have ever seen.
Such life, to use their own expression, is right
smart misery"
About nine years since Miss Bell went to this
island after some experience among the blacks
and poor whites on the main land. The pro-
yost marshal gave her an old shanty. Here was
missionary work for some one, and here Miss
Bell, bringing with her wonderful energy and
perseverance. began her life. She came to the
spot she now occupied about five years since.
The six acres, now enclosed with substantial
wall Of cement, made from shell, lime and
twigs, and picket fence, have been reclaimed

CROwDINa THE COUNTY PRIs0N-A SAD
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.

The deficiencies Of our prison system are sadly
displayed, at New Castle, in spite of the best
arrangements the Sheriff is able to make. Con-
victs are confined there, who should be in State
Psnitentiary young boys are there, for minor
offences, who should be in House Of Correc-
ton vagrants are there, who ought to be in
some Workhouse where they could be employed,
to the public advantage and the result is that
the jail is crowded to excess.
So much so is this the case that the public will
be alike panied and Astonished to hear the facts.
There are in the jail-which, by the way, is q
substantial, well arranged building for the pur-
pose, and is kept in as good order as the un-
favorable circumstances permit twenty
two cells. Most of these are designed for the
confinement of single person. Seven Of them
are now occupied by convicted persons, sentenced
t. solitary confinement. This reduces the num-
bar of coils to fifteen, available for the impris-
onment of those awaiting trial Now the whole
number of persons in Jail, on yesterday. (Aiarch
2jth,) was ninety-t.oo, Seven of these had one
call apiece, leaving eighiy-fce persons TO De
crotvded into fifteen cells, an average Of ice and
sic in each, though they are designed for one
person only
The consequences OF this are very sad. The
cells are filled to suffocation. Boys and youths,
guilty OF some minor offence, are locked up with
hardened, depraved old criminals women are
quArtered together, without distinction of char
acter-the young girl with the outcast the err
ing with the sinful-and those who might, under
proper surroundings, bo reclaimed from crime
are polluted beyond redemption.
We certainly need do no more than state these
fa,ts, in order to awaken public. interest in the
subject. What can be done We are not pre-
pared to say. In two of his messages to the
Legislature, Governor Salisbury urged the ne
cessity of building a State Penitentiary, and,
recommended from that quarter, we hopefully
looked forward for.some step to be taken to build
one. Nothing, however, has ever been done !;
and the opportunity. which should have been
seized when the new Kent County Jail was
built Of erecting prison large enough for both
County and State purposes, was lost. The Leg
islatures have been too busy with private bust
ness to attend to this important general inter
est and we behold one OF the consequences OF
their shameful neglect OF the peoples affairs in
this sad condition OF our county Jail.

AID TO DELAWARE CoLLEGE,

A bill is pending in the Legislature, to assist,
to the extent Of three thousand dollars per an
mum, the revenues of Delaware College. The
BILL we believe, has passed the House, and is be-
fore the Senate, 1t ought to receive the appro-
val, also, OF that body, and we hope it will The
grounds upon which this aid is proposed are
good ones. The annual income Of the College,
from tine Government Land Grant investment,
is 1885,, a sum insufficient to meet the neces-
sary expenses. For the first collegiate year,
there was an accumulation Of interest, and the
Trustees were enabled to meet the demands
without difficulty, but in the Collegiate year,
1SI1-72, they would have been compelled to re-
duce the number Of instructors, and lower the
standard of scholarship, had not member Of
the Board generously offered to make up the de-
fciency which then became apparent. The
same gentlemen continues his contribution dur
ing the present year, but of course they have no
right to tax his generosity further.
In the memorial OF the Trustees on the sub
ject they state that, in order to carry forward
the caurses Of instruction, for the coming year,
two more Professors will be needed, and their
expenses will be otherwise increased. OF the
thirty-seyen students now in the College,
twenty-five are instructed gratuitously, under
the requirements of the Land Grant Act.
In consideration of the State aid, the Col
lsge purposes to help the work of public educa-
tion, by providing trained teachers for the
schools and it is provision of the pending bill
that in consideration of the annual appropria-
tion of $4,000, Ito be continued two years, only
the College shall ''proyide free instruction of a
suitable character for ten students from each
county of the State, whenever such students. on
presenting themselves for admission, shall obli-
gate themselves to teach in the Free Schools of
the State, for not less than one year"
