There seems to be q perfect clamor for
children on the part of residents OF this
county, just now. Judge Ferris having an
nounced few weeks since that he intended
to provide every homeless child in The coun-
ty With a comfortable hone, applications
for children to adopt have flowed in upon
him at a startling rate, until be now has at
least thirty applications more than ne has
found children to fill.
Yesterday remarkably beautiful tue
eyed girl, four years of age, was taken from
an old colored woman, to whom IL nad
been given by It's unnatural mother when
it was az infant, aud was placed with White
family, where she will re properly raised.
A SHIRT time ago, a rine year old BOY was
found in the family of a negro man who
lives out in the country, the latter showing
by receipt which he held, that he had
bought the boy in February, 1860, payl g
two dollars for him. This boy was bound
ont to a white man by the Judge, the ne
gro giving him up with great reluctance,

The Reason why.

Mr.. James T. Bell, the city editor Of this
paper, has been absent frohi his post for
several days rusticating at Kingston Springs.
He was confidently expected home last
evening, but failed to put in an appearance.
Late sdvices from the Springs satisfactorily
account for his prolonged absence. He was
induced to join q fishing party which left
the Springs yesterday morning, composed
in par: Of Major and Mrs. Gof, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. R. Winbourn and Mr.. Thos. Yeat-
man, and the party met with such success
that our absent local could not tear himself
away from the fine collection of inny beau.
ties, until the last one had vanished.

tSomefhing We Neeti-1

Among the urgent needs of this city,
none is more important than the erection,
near the police station, of building suita-
bic for lookup, in which to condne pris-
oners picked up by the police during the
day, to be taken before the police court the
next morning. As It is now, policeman is
compelled to trudge off to the workhouse "a
distance of three-fourths Of mile) with
every man he arrests.
With lookup conveniently located, more
arrests would BE made. The Nashville po-
lice force is as capable and efficient as that
Of any city in the land, but it is natural for
its members to desire to make as few visits
to the workhouse as possible, and in some
cases, "plain DRINKS" ara passed by upon a
promise on the part of the iDebriated indi-
vidual to 90 home and behave himself.

THE NEXT GOvERNOs.

EEom Tue Edrle luleillScuctIs
Some OF our exchanges have already CON-
menced the work of making a new Gov
ernor of Tennessee. In this matter we
think there is time enough yet. Some who
are opposed to the Funding act are hunting
up the best material for an anti-funding
Candidate. We are Of the opinion that there
will be an anti-funding candidate in the
field, and that he will have hard time of it.
We are no apologies for the Funding bill,
but funding the State debt whether it were
the best pol cy or not, is now like the
amendments TO the coDstitution-itis set
Element of the States indebtedness-it is
an accomplished fact. To undertake now
to undo what has been done under the au-
thority of law, would be revolutionary, and
would inevitably drive its advocates into
population.
For this the people of Tennessee are not
prepared. After having entered into a
compact with the creditors of the State by
which a settlement has been made, though
that settlement be to the people hard bsr-
gain, they will not, and cannot ignore that
contract for the want of sufficient plea.
Moreover, it happens that by gross blunder
of former Legislatures, the bogus debt Of
the Slate, which we are under no legal
or moral obligation TO pay, has been
paid. The railroads were permitted to go
into the market and buy bonds of any class
or any issue and pay off their indebted ess
with The same. These railroads of course
bought the cheapest bonds, which were
these We call bogus, and they have been
placed in the State treasury to the credit Of
the roads.
Those which remain unpaid ere tn bonds
which represent the just and acknowledged
debt of the State, and now an attempt to ig-
more in any sense, CT to repudiate them, is
work OF dishonesty and disgrace for which
Tennesseeans are not prepared.
Hence we say that the man who has the
hardihood to tsks the fie d in favor of re-
pudiation, or which is the same thing to
ignore the contract Of settlement, will have
moderately hard time in the race.
We look for hot times in the next guber-
material canvass.
