The DRY Goops FEvEn keeps raging, and
Is becoming moro intense among the American
people. We noticed some time ago the extra
ordinary importations for the Spring trade,
and supposed that they would soon fall off.
But it appears now dry goods are pouring into
the port and market at the rate of five millions
of dollars week. 1t seems that our people
spend all their surplus earnings in dry goods.
As nation we buy more than our produce
exports pay for. Evidently the Americans are
the most extravaganza people in the world,

ished by death. 1t was. The hangman was
cheated, but John G. Colt died-stabbed to the
heart by his own hand. The Governor was
applauded by public opinion. Firmness,
when the right has been grasped, is one of the
grandest attributes of those responsible for
order to society. We hope the Renaissance of
this case of gubernatorial recttude will have
its influence where murderers are appealing

lyn praying for them. This, however, only
represents the benefcent side Of religion for
them. Congress should appoint standing
committees, one from each House, to take
immediate cognizance of all corruption prac-
tised as soon as it came to light. Then might
evil be nipped in the bud. When the Con-
gresham was convicted of malefeasance in
Office he would be handed over to the body he
belonged to, and sent kiting into infamy
amid the prayers of New York and Brooklyn
for his ultimate salvation. These prayers
would come into play as soon as the body of
the sinner was as dead as his reputation. This
is q deep subject and one we recommend to
Congress and our divines.

The Spanish Republic.

BY cable from Europe we have the latest
reports of the progress which is being made
by the Spanish people for the perfection and
consolidation Of the Republic in Spain. The
cause of the democracy is, evidently, being
treated with care and zeal by its opponents and
champions. The labor of clearing away the
official debris which has remained in the de-
partments of that State since the fall of Queen
Isabella is not by any means light, but it has
been commenced with great vigor. 1t is pro-
posed that the Church shall be finally sep
arated from the State that the Judicial Bench
shall be reformed in the matter of efficiency
that the system of knightly aristocratic orders
and decorations shall be aboli shed, and that
the war against the Carlists shall be maintained
of the weather, which is very severe in most
of the provincial districts, permits of army
operations in the field. We can, however, de-
tect few blotches or drawbacks in the tele-
graph history of events in Madrid. The
Spanish army is not exactly cordial in its feel
regime. The sentiment of the mill
tary is monarchical. Then, again, Don
Carlos has invaded the soil. The
Bourbon prince has many friends and many
sympathizers in Spain. Coming in the midst
of great governmental crisis, he has his
chance-that is, the chance of perpetuating
disturbance of the public peace and distrust
in the minds of the people The question of
Cuba looms up also. The dispatches
intimate-allege, indeed-that the govern
ment Of the Spanish Republic will
seek to maintain the colonial position
pretty much as it is, and the new Ministry will
hold on to the Antilles domain as long as pos
sible. The Republic awaits the formal recog-
milton of the outside governments the great
governments particularly. After this has been
accorded we will likely have news of decid-
edly important character from Spain. The
very latest dispatches from Madrid to hand this
morning report the cordial recognition of the
new Republic by the United States, the Amer
lean Minister in Madrid having conveyed to
Senior Figueras the good wishes and friend
ship of the government at Washington in the
speech which we report in our columns.
The News FROM MExICo which reaches us
in Matamoros despatch, tells of the exist
ence of an extraordinary condition Of affairs
among detachment of the Mexican army
that is, it would be extraordinary in any army
not Mexican. The garrison of Cosmata
mutinied on account of ill-treatment
and want of pay. The men de-
serted in a body. They dragged the
guns of the fort out Of position and dis
charged them. The mutineers were pursued
by cavalry, but it may be that the cavalry will
be made prisoners by the infantry, and be
thus unable, if willing to return. We may
hear of provincial pronunciamento ct any

This is all very pretty. But it seems to US
that the improvements in warlike material, in
the creation of monster ornaments, the in
vention of long -range rifles and breech-loading
artillery especially, have far outstripped the
slow coach suggestions and small talk twaddle
of our venerable peace congresses. Govern

The Independent makes but one bite of
cherry in disposing of Kellogg, the present
de fdcto Governor of Louisiana, and his usurpa-
ton Of the gubernatorial functions. 1t says:-
Kellogg appeared before Judge Duren AZ the

the Judge had discharged his duty. The two obec-

the State. without having the election returns in
mis- possession. His de h1cto exercise of power is in
sheer usurpation, mainly due to illegal federal
interference.
The Christian Union proclaims that the air

THE "BUILDT IG'' ORDINANCE.
Is it Unconstitu tloual.-A Test Cas-

Is it UncOnstitJ EiOnaI?-A Test Case.
MesSrs. FurgesOl & Griffin, owners of
the South Nashvil lie Planning Mills, were
before Judge ID dling yesterday on the
charge OF vlolatlr e sections 2 and 8 of the
city ordinance n Aative to the erection of
buildings in nashville. They were de-
Tended by judi .e NJ. NJ. Brien and John
Brien, Esq. { was shown inevidence that
MessrS. Furg .eson & Griffin had moved
their boiler: out away from their
main bulldl NC in order to secure the latter
from dangf L by fire. AT that time they
erected n open shed over the boiler,
and abo ut ten days ago enclosed
the 50 me with weather boarding
and str Ups. Complaint was made to the
building commissioners and the city Mar
shall ! ~ insurance men,and by a resident in
that vicinity who claimed that his property
was endangered by this removal of the
boiler and erection Of the shed. Two of
the building commissioners, Capt. StOckell
and Major McNairy, visited the mills and
] told the proprietOTs that they would be re-
T quired to erect brick wall at the end of
the shed which adjoined the alley, but no
attention was made to these directions
The defense did not deny that the facts
were substantially as above narrated, but
claimed that the second section of the Ord-
nance in question is unconstitutional, and
that the city has no right to prescribe how
a man shall improve his own property.
. The section reads as follows:
When any person shall be about to erect
a house or building within the city of Nash
vile, he shall make written application
to the Superintendent of Buildings, stating
the number and extent of buildings, the
estimated cost, the exact spot of ground on
which it is to be built, and the contract
. time for completion; and thereupon said
officers shall, after inspecting the premises,
issue a permit 10 occupy such a part of any
street or alley for the purpose of placing
thereon a lime house or building materials,
and for such time as may be necessary.
Any person or persons building without
having obtained such permit, or violating
the same after having obtained it. shall be
deemed guilty Of a misdemeanoT, and, on
conviction thereof, be fined not less than
five nor more than fifty dollars.
The defense also claimed that in the re-
mOval of the boiler and the erection of the
shed, greater security from fire had been at
tanned.
A fine of s. was imposed, the defendants
giving notice that they would appeal the
case.

Climb Of Rejected Lovers,

This organization Of detected young men
is becoming quite popular and its MEM
berS are taking a more cheerful view Of life
and its surroundings. Their meetings are
not characterized by that feeling of grim
despair and solenmity which has been so
painfully apparent heretofore, but on the
contrary. arrangements are being perfected
for a series Of masquerade parties to be
given this winter In addition to
this, it is proposed to serenade
at intervals. the cruel maidens whose lack
Of appreciation has led to the organization
of the club. We are not advised as to the
style of music which will be used on these
occasions. but as some Of the best musical
talent Of the city belongs to the club, these
serenaders can be made very pleasant and
agreeable Especially to the maiden lady
with the nervous headache who may live
Just across the strcet.)
\ meeting will be held in room No. 9
Cannon block tomorrow night, at which
time it is hoped there viii be full attend
ance of members, as business Of Importance
will be transacted.

The assessment was made in April, 1867,
an appeal made to the Commissioners of
Internal Revenue in July, 1867, decision
by the commissioners in October, 1867,
and the suit not decided until
January, 1869. In reviewing the case,
Judge Trigg admitted that the assessment
was erroneous, but that the plaintiffs were
restrained by the aw in the case, the 10Th
section of the act of 18th July providing
that: mo suit shall be maintained in any
court for the recovery of any tax alleged to
have been enormously or illegally assessed
or collected, until appeal shall have been
duly made to the Commissioner of Inter
nal Revenue, according to the provisions of
law in that regard, and the regulations of
the Secretary of the Treasury es-
tablished i'll pursuance there

commissioners shall be had thereon, unless
such suit shall be brought within six
months from the time of said decision, or
within six months from the time this act
takes effect. Provided, that if said decis-
ION shall he delayed more than six months
from the date of such appeal, then said suit
NAV he brought at any time within twelve
months from the date Of such appeal. 'And
no suit for the purpose Of restraining the
assessment or collection Of tax shall be
maintained in any court"

Sinful Siffings.

Eliza Simmons and her hubby Bill, have
been having ''drubbleS' again. They have
not been living togetherfor several months.
Somehow they don't get along pleasantly
together Eliza will get drunk, and William
cannot refrain from expressing his disap-
probation of such conduct by knocking her
down occasionally, pounding her on the
head with the skillet, shying tea cups and
things at her and otherwise giving her to
understand that his sensitive spirit is deep
" wounded by her ''caryingS on" This
being the case it will readily be conceded
that he did right in pulling
out a lock of her hair Gas
memento of the happy days of their
early married life, and bidding her a last
farewell some three months since, Hardly
a '.last' farewell either, as he has, since
the day of their dissolution" found time
to visit Eliza occasionally and take from
her the few dollars she manages to accumu-
late by her labor. In thus doing, William
is actuated by two motives: He prevents
her wealth being expended for whisky, and
he thus obtains spending money for HIM
self without being compelled to labor SO
hard Is he otherwise would. He made his
last raid Saturday night, and
succeeded in obtaining the sum
of three dollars. His wife put herself out
side Of a few drinks of benzine and went
after him for the purpose Of getting the
money back, and after some excited talk,
William knocked her down in his usual
hearty way, kicked her in the face a few
times and left her, but chung to the money.
He says he's going to get a divorce as soon
as he gets money enough. He was fined
$40, and his wife 50.
Susan Jones and Emma Eisen have been
conversing together again in their Gus
tOmary manner, causing the airin their i'm
mediate vicinity to grow sulphTOuS. The
city is five dollars richer in consequence.
VIM. Owen was arrested yesterday on

ment on the part of Mr.. Osborn. He had
heard that whisky is Intoxicating, and, in
deed. he had seen men who showed the
effects of having INDUCED too freely, but it
did not occur to him that he would fall by
the wavsde. He did, however, thus prov
ing that we are liable to be mistaken at
times.
1t is the same old story. Catherine
Napier became enthusiastic yesterday, and

panY.

The Secretary of this company informs
us that they have not lost single policy
holder, so far as known or reported, from
cholera or yellow fever, and that the money
panic has not thus far had any perceptible
effect upon the business of the company
in fact the new business of October was
the largest of any single month since its
organization. Besides making their usual
bond investments, they have loaned out re-
Gently some eighty thousand dollars, which
has helped a large number Of persons
merchants, mechanics, farmers and Others,
thus giving practical illustration Of their
home argument-this has been loaned out
in sums of $500 and upwards. The COM
pany has issued up to Nov. l more than
double as many policies as during the same
period last year, and their business is being
rapidly extended into other and new fields
of rich promise.
