The Orphans, Fair for 1873.

As usual, for a number of years past, the
Ladies Fair for the benefit of st. Mary's
Orphan Asylum will be held at Masonic
Hall, commencing on Easter Monday, and
continuing the entire week. With very
few exceptions, the same ladies' who man
aged the Fair last year, will preside over
this-s sufficient guarantee of its success.
The ladies have already commenced the
good work, soliciting contributions--a duty
which our people have always made pleas
ant by the polite reception of the ladies,
and the cheerful giving of their donations.
There will be the usual number of tables,
which will be attended by some of the most
attractive ladies even Nashville can boast
of. The ladies connected with the Sunday
School Table seem determined not to be
far behind their companions in the good
cause, for they have already secured a
splendid sewing machine-one of Singers
best, with beautiful mahogany folding-case,
silver and pearl mounted. They are in
debted to Mr.. j. B. Carpenter, the agent of
the Singer Sewing Machine Company, for
very liberal donation in connection with
this purchase. The machine will be on ex-
hibition at his Office, 122 Church street,
until the Fair opens.

Mrs. POLK, and the Women and the
y aLegisiatuFe Of Tennessee.

- Legislature Of Tennessee. -
The Memphis Appeal OF the I'd inst.
says: 'sThe Legislature of Tennessee, q
few days ago, as is the custom of the law
givers, rendered proper tributes of respect
to the memory cfthe late James K. Polk
and 10 his widow, the admirable woman
who grsced the White House and gave I'M
wonted luster by her virtues, and taste, and
charming manners to the fame of the
daughters of Tennessee. 1t is needless to
say that the members of the General As
sembly were well pleased, or that the en-
tertainment was worthy of the woman
whose name must ever be illustrious for
her many kindly deeds and splendid
virtues. Newspaper correspondents writ
ing from Nashville in all directions
become even fhapsedicaI In lauding the
simple eloquence that distinguished the
marvellous woman whom Tennesseeans so
admire and honor, and in doing this dis
cover lustre reflected upon the women of
or State, and therefore every daughter of
Tennessee must bend willingly before the
msjesty of This famous womsn's character
aud worth. Long ago, when Mrs. Polk was
younger than nov before her hair was sill
vered by age, she was accustomed to meet
in social life, in Nashville and in Washing
ton, two women, both now in this city, who,
like herself, have done infinite honor to the
States they represented and to the daughters
of these States. Both these were Senator'S
wives, and one of them the widow of him
WHO twice triumphed over Mr. Polk in par
nsan conflicts unparalleled In the annals Of
partisan warfare. The other is the wife of
Clement G. Clay, now sojourning in Mem
phis. The country has never produced a
woman superior in intellectual vigor or in
wonderful collcquial powers to the admira-
bic wife of the distinguished Albanian.
Three such women, whose names must be-
come as famous in social history as those
of their husbands in the country's political
annals. have rarely risen up 10 any age to
adorn with faultiess grace and unsullied
fam9 the splendors of high official place, and
shine with equal brilliancy in the ballroom,
in the church, and at the Preside. II there
be monumental honors awarded the illus
trious dead, and history may chaunt forever
their names, and poetry sing peans Of
praise, these women, whose strength and
purity and love have first strewn with
flowers pathways of ennobling ambition for
famous men, should surely share all their
honors. Never did the Legislature of
Tennessee discharge worthier task than
when it stood uncovered in the presence Of
cue of the no5lest because most modest
and truthful of wives, and the purest and
best Of women. This adulRtion rendered
the widow of President was an attesta-
ton, through representative body, of the
respect entertained by the people of Ten
nessee for truth, and womanly nobility of
character. And fortunate is IL for Tennes-
see that the State may boast of such an
of all womanly virtues, il.
lustrated in the conduct, character and his
tory of the widow of President Polk"

An Important Suit.

Below we give what we understand to
be the main features Of the bill filed by the
State against Col. V. K. Stevenson for a
settlement of his accounts as Quartemaster
General of the State during the war:
In 1861, and soon after the Inauguration
of the war, Gov. Harris appointed Col. Ste
venson Quartermaster General of the Ten
nessee troops, and as such, about 81 ,700,-
900, it is alleged, was placed in his hands.
About twelve months after the appointment
all the Tennessee troops and its military af-
fairs were turned over TO the Confederate
government at Richmond, which vacated
tie office Of Quartermaster General of
Tennessee. The Legislature then in
session (at Memphis) appointed Mr.. F. G.
Huntington and Hon. Jno. L. 7. Sneed
committee TO settle with Col. Stevenson.
The committee was unsuccessful Ia its at
tempts to procure a settlement, but had
correspondence with Mr.. Stevenson, in
which correspondence it is claimed that he
admits large balance in his hands due the
State. Since the war Col. Stevenson has
resided in New York. An effort is being
made in the Legislature to have the bill
dismissed, but We are not il formed upon
what grounds the dismissal is sought.
