Afternoon Session.
The House met at 2:3O.

The House met at 2:3U,
THE PENITENTIARY.
Mr.. II. R. Moore offered the following
resolution, which lies over:
Whereas, prison labor in Tennessee, as
heretofore employed in mechanical pursuits,
or even in drudgery, when subject to fire.
quent changes, has been attended by results
alike unsatisfactory and expensive to the
State; and whereas, the tendency in civiliz-
ed communities is to adopt the penitentiary
labor-system, as an efficient means of
punishment and correction of crime, in
stead of capital or public corporal punish
ment; and whereas, prison life without Ia
Dor, would evidently tend to encourage
crime instead of suppressing it, and at the
same time jeopardize the health Of the con-
yicts; and whereas, the speedy utilizing of
the abundant crude materials with which
Tennessee is so profusely blessed, is an
imperative necessity, and that these crude
materials may be prepared and presented
in suitable shape for the skilled hands of
her mechanics and artizans, and thereby
fitted for the channels of commerce and the
use and comfort of consumers; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Representa-
tiyes, That it is the interest of the State to
dispose of the peuitentiary in this city, with
all its fixtures and aprurtenances, at as
early day as practicable, consistent with
her present contracts and obligations, and
to erect another, at some well selected
point within her borders, where her most
valuable and most neglected means of
wealth, to-wit, Iron ore, coal and lime
stone, are found in close proximity, for the
purpose of employing her entire convict
labor, permanently and erclnSirely, in the
development of the said resources.
Mr.. 81. r. Moore said, upon the intro
duction of the resolution, tGat he simply in
tended by its introduction to place the en-
tering wedge in proper position to do eff
Gent work when the time came to apply
the maui. The preamble and resolution
had been hastily prepared, but he hoped
they were sufficiently explicit, and that the
members might find time during the re-
mainder of the session to fully examine
this resolution. He felt confident that it
had merit, and equally confident that they

One week ago, Mr. John Fisor, an excel

his father-inlaw's place, DR.. Searcey, on
Whites creek, seven miles from the city,
was caught in the machine and two of his

Schenek's PulmOnic Candy embraces
in great degree all the principles of
Schenck's Pulmonie Syrup, and while as
pleasant to the palate as the purest Of con-
fections, its medicinal properties render it
efectusl in coughs, colds, bronchial and ca
tsrrhal affections, etc. 1t is the most &C
ceptable remedy for children or infants, and
can be given with IMMUNITY; while for pro-
fessional gentlemen, or those who suffer
from loss Of voice, it is indispensable.
These candies are put up in 25 cent boxes
convenient for the pocket, and are for sale
by all druggists and dealers.

SHOCKING ACCIDENT.

4 Trapeze in the Circus Breaks, Pre-
cIpitating Two Actors TO the Ground
One Of them Fatally Injured.
Last night, at the Great Eastern Circus,
while the two gymnasts were performing
what is known as the thrilling drop act, the
fastenings of the trapeze became parted from
the center pole of the canvass, broke, and
with wild scream of terror, the men were
precipitated to fearful distance to the
ground below. One of them was knocked
insensible by the fall, and for some time
vas thought to be dead. Medical aid re
stored the unfortunate man, who was Sc
riously, If not fatally, injured.

A WILD HORSE,
Two Men Thrown from a Buggy and
Badly Injured.

At an early hour yesterday morning a
horse attached to the buggy in which were
seated Messrs Joe Fisher of this city and
Mr.. BlacKm&n of Sumner county, took
fright on Cedar street near the Commercial
hotel and ran at fearful speed towards the
Square. Mr.. Rlackman was thrown out
near the corner of the Square
and received severe bruises.
The affrighted animal dashing
towards the lower end of the markethouse
ran the buggy between the wheels of two
express wagons with such force that Mr..
Fisher was thrown out and had his leg bro
ken by the fall. Being freed from the
shafts the horse ran through the market
house. We regret the accident has proven
so serious though it might have been m ore
severe.

And yet this disease, so formidable in its
character, so far-reaching in its effects, so
generally fatal when once established, Is
easily controlled and NAV be thoroughly
eradicatsd in its first stages. In q variable
climate like ours, Coughs and colds are
commonly the exciting causes of Diseases
fthe Lungs, and these should be removed at
once. 10 many instances persons are DO m
with unsound or turbereulous lungs, and in
such cases the most constant care and

whether it has been engendered by severe
colds or exposure, will be found sanitary

can readily be found in the testimony of
