POLICE PICKINGS.

Business was very light yesterday in the
High Court, Gt is held on the third floor of
the City HalD presided over by Judge Du'
ling. The efforts this paper is making to
elevate the morals of Nashville, are evident
ly being crowned with success. 1t is pos
sible the present condition of the banks oil
this city has something to do with reducing
the number of patrons of the police court
at this time, as the saloon keepers do MOI
seem particularly anxious TO do business
when they are compelled 10 take certified
checks in payment for drinks-that is, IN
less number Of drinks are ordered at q
time.
Albert Hutchins loaned the city three dol
lars. He was led to do this by his having
had little difference of opinion with his
wife. Hutchins knew he was in the right,
but Mrs. 81. failed to be convinced by the
arguments the former used to bring her
over to bis way Of thinking. Some women
never will listen to the voice of reason.
Matte Phillips aud Bette Hudson are a
couple of warm friends (this is especially the
case when the thermometer stands at 104
in the shade), who have fallen into the habit
of banging each other about in lively, en-.
PERTAINING manner, whenever they can get
trusted for whisky. They put in an ap-
pearance at the police court yesterday, when
the former was fined So, and the latter
$3.50.
John Fuqua was fined $40 for assaulting
another, and John Dearman was sent to the
workhouse en- q fine of $50, on the charge Of
lettering around the streets with no visi bic
means of support.

ARascalIv Contractor.

The Mayor gave a pass yesterday to a
man by the name of Abrams, bis wife and
six children, who left this CITY for st. Louis
yesterday afternoon over the st. Louis and
Southeastern.
At the depot, Abrams:told our reporter
that be had been living at ll3 Broad street,
for two years past, and that he has found
great difficulty in supporting bis large fami-
". A few months since he was engaged by
a well known contractor and builder in this
city, to put tin roof en- house the latter
was building, Abrams being timer by trade.
The JOB Blasted some time, and amount
ed to $175, bat when the work was done,
Mr.. - very coolly told him he was
bankrupt, and had no money for him.
Abrams sued him and then found that all
the property his employer had was in bis
wife's name, and consequently be couldn't
collect anything. The suit cost Abrams
ten dollars which ought 10 have gone to the
support of his family, and when be left
town yesterday, he had but one dollar in
the world, and that was given him at the
depot,

Rev, VIM. Il. Munsey.

Paragraphs highly de-ogstory of the char
acter of DR.. VIM. Z. MuDsey, of the Meth
odist church, have been freely circulated by
exchanges lately, which paragraphs do this
well known divine great injustice. We
learn from Presbyterian minister now in
this city, who resides at Jonesboro, DR..
Munsey's present home, that the mind of
the latter is very much shattered as the re-
suit of long years oflaborious service in the
ministry, and that be has been in the habit
of using stimulants Of late years, by the ad-
vice of bis physician. Beyond this, there is
no truth whatever in the stories which have
been told of him within the past two weeks.
He is receiving medical assistance, and bis
thousands of friends and admirers through
out the South, who have listened to the
words Of burning eloquepce which have
fallan from his lips in the past, earnestly
hope that his reason may be restored, and.
that his last days may be crowned with
peace.

IMPORTANT CHANGES.
81. Louis and southeastern hallway.

st. Louis and Southeastern Railway.
A circular was received by Mr.. j. A.
Dahlgren, who represents the st. Louis &
Southeastern Railroad at this end of the
line, from Gen. E. T. Winslow, President
of that Company, which announces the fol-
lowing changes in the organization Of that
Road:
Mr.. e. E. Shrader, General Freight Agent,
has been appointed General Superintendent
of the Company's lines from st. Louis to
this place. Mr.. Shrader will also continue
in charge of the General Freight Office.
Mr.. George S. Winslow, now Division Sup
erintendent, is appointed Assistant General
Superintendent.
Mr.. j. 7. Alexander was elected Treas
urer.
Mr.. Chas. W. Gardner was appointed
Purchasing Agent.
The circular also announces that the res
ignation of Mr.. 81. l.. Mo,ri1 as Division
Superintendent, which was rendered some
six weeks ago, had been accepted. Mr..
Morrill,, we learn, leaves the road to accept
the position of Superintendent of the
Evansville rolling mill. His resignation
viii cause much regret among the employ
ees of the road, with whom he was very
popular.
The appointment of Mr.. Shrader to the
responsible position of Superintendent
the entire Iins of the road, has received the
hearty approval of its officers and en-
ployees.
Mr.. Shrader was long connected with the
Evansville and Charlottesville railroad,
which read owes most of its success and
standing to the able management of its
freight business By that gentleman.
Mr.. Shrader has been in favor of making
extensive permanent improvements in this
city, depot buildings, etc., and he win now
have an opportunity of carrying his designs
into effect, and the road cannot but prosper
under such able management.

UntYersltx of NASHVILLE.

The fall session of the Literary Depart
ment of the University of Nashville
opened under unusually favorable
auspices. The Faculty organization is able
and full in all the college branches. The
advantages are as good as any institution in
the country for thorough education. The
location is beautiful and healthy, and pre-
sents all the inducements that any other
point anywhere can offer.
The Medical Department of the Univer-
sity has Just opened with larger list of
students than at any time since the war, and
promises to close with a much larger list
than any year since 1861. The Alumni Of
this Department are taking rank, wherever
located, with those Ct the first institutions
in the world, and the Medical School re-
ceives as it deserves, the recognition Of
hIst-class institution of Medical instruction
everywhere.

The selections are, In the main, good, and

a range of subjects that have employed the
minds of Philosophers, Poets and Warriors,
in such brief compass as to require minds
of some advanced maturity to use them TO
advantage. 1t is but truth, however, to
say that many immature minds are dealing
with the same things, that would be greatly
benefited by the snatches Of thought con-
tanned in these stexercises."
