We learn from Maj. II. c. Bate, of
Lawrence county, that there is move
ment on foot to establish a cO-opera-

all the cotton manufacturing compa-
nies who have mills on Shoal creek, are
to be interested. Three have already
signifed their willingness to enter into

The Boston and Albany Railroad
Company cannot change their freights
on Western grain, but offer to reduce
their elevator charges to lie. per
bushel for elevating and ten days
storage. Let Nashville merchants
compare this figure with the cost of
sacks and double drayage. The surest
mode of increasing our Southern trade
is to cheaper prices by moving grain
in bulk. Why should an impoverished
section pay thousands of dollars an nu-
ally for needless bagging.

NASHVILLE. TENN. FRIDAY, MAY 20. 1874. "a;

The law in this country generally discrim7
mated in favor of women. - 49,
MIR. Bayard said it seemed hardly posi-
bic that the Senate of the United States
proposed change in the very fundamental
principles of government. That such a
change as this should be blocked out as an
experiment in utter disregard Of the decree
by which men and women were created,
could hardly be believed. The sexes were
different, physically and mentally, yet,
here was this puny attempt in disregard OF
every experience, enlightened by divine in
terposition. Such legislation was irrey-
erent and in 4a B
Defiance of the Laws Of God Himself.
1t would give two heads to the family,
and there would no longer be that unity,
that subordination, required by christian

as follows:

The bill was then rejected, 10 to 90.

Army Reduction.
The House then took up the bill for a
gradual reduction of the army. Mr.. Co
burn explained and advocated it. He disa-
vowed on the part of the Committee on
Military Affairs any disposition of hostility
to the army. On the contrary, the COM
mittee had nothing but profound respect
and honor for the army. His personal
| Judgment was that the reduction provided
in the pending bill was not large enough.
We get on with an army of 10000 as well
as an army of $4,000, the main work of the
army being TO take care of the Indian from
| tier. He proceeded to analyZe the details
of the bill. He estimated the saving to the
Government which this bill would effect at
about 5000.

Mr.. Butler of Massachusetts,, gave notice
of an amendment which he intended to
offer, that the headquarters of the army
shall never be removed from the capital of
the nation, except in time of war.
Mr.. Nesmith protested against the re-
ductiOn of the army in behalf of the fvOn-
tier settlements. If these constant attempts
to interfere with the organization of the
army were to be kept up, no officer Of spirit
| or culture would desire to remain in it,
and Congress had better abolish it at once,
and let the Indians take possession OF the
| frontier.
A Mode of EeOnOmizing the Indian
Service.
Mr.. Banning spoke at length in ia
vOr of a reduction of the army and
a consequent saving to the Govern.
ment and people of an enormous
amount of money. He also advocated a
tranfer of the Indian and Pension Bureaus
to the management of the War Department
thereby securing a great saving of public
funds and at the same time more efficiency
in the service. He spoke of
The Great Abuses
in the system of commutation and assign
ment of quarters in Washington and else
where to any officers, and gave full and
comprehensive review of the present disci-
