Lord PaImsrston on a FieId Night.


The House had met at G. Lord Pal
merston came in about 7, took his seat
upon the front treasury bench, stretched
out and crossed his legs, shifted the
sprig OF myrtle from one side Of his
mouth to the other, pulled his hat over
his brows, threw back his head and shut
his eyes. No one addressed him pri-I
vately. The debate goes on, rising in
tone. 1t becomes personal lnvectiVe,

and pulling down his waisteeat, he ad-

off his gloves with the manner Of a man
who cares little for the subject Of de-

that Spain must either conclude peace

considerable excitement and is the Sub

THE LEGISLATURE.

The General Assembly at Nashville
convened yesterday at noon. Twenty
Eve members were present in the Senate
the full number, and seventy in the
HOuse-fve being absent The specials
TO our morning contemporaries indicate
that the day was spent in lOg'rolling for
position, and that while all parties are
politely coneiliatory on the surface none
are willing to lose ground or fOrgo polit-
ical ahtecedeuts merely to expedite
business. The Senate had twenty-five
ballots for Speaker, or as many
as there are members Of that body. Mr..
Lacey, Of Shelby, received four votes IN
variably. Mr.. Coulter, Of Gibson county
received on the last ballot twelve votes
and will probably be elected. de Is
classed as straight Democrat. In the
House only four ballots were taken for
Speaker. The contest was chiefly be-
tween Trousdale, Of Sumner, straight
Democrat, and Houk, Of Knoxville, a
very straight Republican. They stood
at twenty-four to twenty-five. Colonel
John s. Kerr, Of Shelby, received
ten votes, and may turn up as
a compromise candidate. This is an
certain, but an organization will doubt
less be effected to-day, and then will be-
gin some magnificent skirmishing all
along the line preparatory to the con-
test ever the State offices to be filled.
How long this will last no one not I'M
bued with the spirit of prophecy or
clairvoyance would dare conjecture.
But it is to be hoped that the members
will remember the necessary shortneSs
of the session before them and the great
amount of work they have to perform.

LOUISIANA.

The Louisiana situation has rather
improved within the last two or three
days, although still quite unsettled. The
authorities at Washington seem at last
to realize that there may be two sides
to the unfortunate difficulty, and while
the kellogg party will be recognized as
the government de facto Of Louisiana,
it is altogether probable that the whole
question will be brought before Congress
at an early day and referred to COM
mittee ofinvestigation. Pinchbeck, the
acting Governor, has receded from the
position of his party = that the
Peoples Legislature should not
be permitted to assemble, and
says now that he will let it alone If it
lets him alone. This is substantially
the position of tbs government at Wash
ington. The Peoples Legislature met
and organized yesterday at noon at Odd
Fellows Hall, in the presence of an an
mense concourse Of quiet but deeply in
terested people, who filled the streets for
several blocks each way. No interfer.
ence whatever was attempted. The
stores were closed as on the Sabbath, in
fact, more generally than on the average
New Orleans Sabbath; business was sus.
pended, and not lady was to be seen
on Canal street. 1t was ali impor.
tant day for Louisiana--one of more
hopeful results than many citizens ex'
pected. All was peaceable and quiet,
and no disturbance of any character oc.
Cured during the day. The military
were on hand in force to preserve the
peace, and cannon were bristling on the
Square as though a bloody revolution
were impending. But there was nc
cause for such preparations; the people
of New Orleans are law-abiding, and
only demand their rights as such and
according TO the forms of law. Al
present they are little more than slaves,
subject to a reckless faction which is re-
cognized by the Government and for the
present sustained. The Peoples Legis
lature was only permitted to assemble
by sufferanee, as any unofficial body Of
citizens might do, and this will be
claimed a gracious act Of mercy, FOL
which the powers that be ought to be
profoundly grateful the rest of theil
lives. The meeting Of the Legislature
yesterday was necessary under the con
stitutiOn Of the State to preserve The
status Of the members, and not for AM
aggressive purpose. The military wai
present in an attitude to preserve The
peace. And thus matters will stand
until it will be seen whether Congress
will take action on the question. The
impeachment Of Judge Durell is one o.
the measures proposed to purge the
Federal ernine and the State Of Lou
isiana.

The Industries of the Country
what shall We DOg


The languishment Of the various in
dustries Of the South and the conse-
ouent gradual decline Of its prosperity,
in every material sense, may well ex-
cite the attention Of the thoughtful and
philosophic mind. tits now a hopeful
sign that efforts are about TO be put
forth to arrest, If possible, the down
ward tendency. Can anything to effect
this be done3 Many theories, projects,
plans and themes have been attempted
since the war to build up or restore some
reliable labor system in the agricultural
districts of the country without any Wis
ible effect, except to accelerate the
downward tendency. Failure, total
failure, and even worse than mere fail
are. has followed every effort, for the
means expended are not only lost, but
the people whe have, for the most part,
came upon us under the guise of la
borers have not only shown themselves
incapacitated as such to supply, in any
degree, the wants Of the country, hut
that their intentions we're more to make
dishonest gains than TO render any just
eouiyolent, and in numerous instances
have returned to whence they came
to abuse and plumber those whom they
failed to spoil as pro6tably to themselves
as they had expected. 1t is known in
all the agricultural districts that thou
sands and tens Of thousands Of adven-
turers have been for years perambulatiRg
around, under the pretense of seeking
employment as farm and other laborers,
whose conduct has shown that they were
seeking more for petty plumber and dis
honest than honest gains. Of course
they did not come to stay, and on their
return to whence they came, if not so
successful as they had hoped, they only
become a living advertisement to the
discredit Of those they failed to more
eHectually plumber.
Now, what can we do for relief? is the
aIl-absorbing inquiry. The first answer
is, help ourselves, for az, according to
an old saying, where there is will
there is way" so in our case, IL we iciu
to do we can do, and will succeed by
homogeneous cooperative action. Look
ing TO this Accomplishment many prac-
tical minds are preparing to engage their
best efforts. A plan is already sug.
gested, and a charter will likely soon be
obtained. which cannot fail to command
the confidence Of all practical minds.
If united efforts can only be brought
about we are hopeful Of its success, and
will, at some other tirAe more definitely
bring it before our readers.

CINCINNATI.

CINCINNATI, January THE fight
among railroads on passenger fares still
goes on. The Atlantic and Great West
ern railroad has reduced fare to New
York and return TO nineteen dollars.
Large numbers Of persons are arriving
from Louisville, Indianapolis, st. Louis
aud other cities. en- route to New York,
having come by this city in order to
avail themselves Of the rates from here,
which is saving to them Of something
like fifty per cent. 1t is stated that
further reductions are to take place.
There is considerable feeling existing
among the different railroads, and there
is no knowing to what extent the fight
will be carried.

AN ldPERATIvE DEMAND FOR
FRESH VEGETABLES.

EDIroR REcoRD:-I was gratified to Oh
serve in your paper, lew days since, sn
editorial encouraging agriculture in this
vicinity, the appropriating for actual pro-
ductive purposes of such available land
as is within teanaing proximity 10 this
place. Why are there no vegetable gar
dens, at which early truck " is raised,
within this immediate vicinity? A hot
house in one Of our adjacent valleys
would certainly be the fortune Of a
shiewd gardiner within three years from
date Of first crop. No one OF us would
begrudge an extra quarter-at the
very least-each day in March and April,
if he could have one fresh dish of yege-
tables at his restaurant or home dinner
in Phoebe in the first Spring months.
Who will come and pick up this for
tune? In the midst Of May, and thence
to September and October, We can boast
OF few badly nurtured fresh table vege-
tables. We ought to have bountiful
supply of the very best garden products
from March to November. Call up some
really enterprising Italian or Scotchmar
from the surplus onion-bed men OF Cali
fornia. DENIzEN.
