TENNESSEE LABOR REFORM,
Preamble aud Resolutions Adopted at
Nashville.

Preamble aud Resolutions Adopted at
Nashville.
AT meeting of laboring men, held at
Nashville last Saturday, the following res
olutions were adopted:
1.-THE present unnecessary financial ca
lamity, the result of a combination of East
ern capitalists and monopolists to rob labor
and impose burdens and hardships upon
the laboring and producing classes of the
West and South, together with the expert
enee OF the past few years, leaves with us
no longer any hope that the Eastern bond
holders, capitalists and monopolists will
consent to such material changes in our
financial and transportation systemas will
secure to the Western and Southern work
ingmen the fruits of their industry.
WHEREAS, Those unjust combinations
of capitalists and monopolists of the East
ern States are imposing burdens and hard
ships on the West and South more intoler-
able and unjust than that imposed by Afri-
can slavery and,
WHEREAS, The law of self preservation
is the first in nature, and the most impor-
tant to man it is, therefore, the duty of
the laboring and producing classes of the
West and South to unite in an effort to
free themselves from combinations so I'M
just and oppressive therefore,
RESOLVED, That we recommend to the Ia
boring and producing classes of the West
and South, the propriety of calling con-
vention for the purpose of freeing them
selves from the expressions and injustice
of the Eastern States.
Resolved, That we invite our brother la
borers and farmers of the West and South
to take measures for calling a convention,
to be composed exclusively of the laboring
and producing classes, to meet in st. Louis,
on or about the ODD day of February next,
to interchange opinions as to the best mode
of accomplishing this much needed end,
and to do such other acts as they may
deem polite and necessary for their future
protection and security in the premises"

THE STATE DEBT.
What the Governor and Comptroller Did
at New York

From the Nashville Banner, of Tues
day morning, we extract the following:
Comptroller Burch and Mai Wilkes,
Secretary to the Governor, returning here
yesterday from New York, whittier they
went about ten days ago to transact bust
ness in which the State and the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Railway were
interested parties. The heavy payment
made by that line to tho State has already
been published in the Banner but there
are some additional facts concerning the
mammoth transaction that will bear no.
ticing now. That company, as heretofore
stated, retired its entire Indebtedness Gre
ated by the purchase of the Northwestern
Road, to the State, by the payment of ST.
10000 in bonds, and S245, 700 in past due
coupons, making a total of 81, 4l5,7 700. In
addition to this, it has paid over to the
State 1915, 0S9. 95 in bonds of the State, in
satisfaction of the debt due from it on ac-
count of bonds loaned it. 1t has also, I'M
der an act of the Legislature providing for
such an arrangement, paid over to the
state 81 ,425. 900 of the first mortgage bonds
Of the Nashville, Chattanooga and st.
Louis Railway (consolidated) for the bonds
OF the company endorsed by the State.
These transactions have reduced the State
debt So, 2l5, 7S9, and, beside, retired the en-
tire second mortgage bonded debt of the
Nashville, Chattanooga and st. Louis rail-
= ~, amounting 10 So,OOO,OOO. anu now
the company has out only one series of
first mortgage bonds, which will rank
among the first in the country. 1t being
required by enactment, the So, 000,0 900 of
second mortgage bonds were counted and
cancelled by Governor Brown and Major
Wilkes, at New York last Friday, the
whole day being required in the perform
ance Of that duty.
The bonds paid over to the State for the
North western Road were received here
Thirteen hundred of the bonds, or 81 ,3O0,-
O0O paid in the cancellation of the debt of
the company, were cancelled here yester-
day by Maj. Wilkes.
Maj. Wilkes says that New Workers ex-
press great confidence in Tennessee bonds,
and regard them as good an investment as
most other bonds put upon the market.

DESPERATE RENCONTRE.
Shooting ARRAY at Pine City.

From our lockwood correspondent, we
get information of difficulty at Pine City,
on the Sd inst, which, it is thought, will
result in the death of one Of the parties.
Pine City is a small settlement on Wal
denis Ridge, three and a half miles from
lockwood. The immense steam tannery
of Messrs. Lewis and William Lenoir is To-
Gated at this point,and constitutes the bust
ness of the place.
On Saturday, it seems that a dispute
arose between Mr.. Samuel Eddy, son of the
foreman and a man by the name of Ken
mer, which resulted in fight, in which
Eddy was shot. The wound is pronounced
by the attending physicians exceedingly
dangerous, if not fatal.
Eddy is about twenty-seven yeuss of age
and has a wife and one child, at or near
PittsbuTg, Pa, where he has been doing
business, and from which place he came
here few weeks ago on a visit to his par
ents.
The accounts of this sad affair are so con-
flicting that we do not undertake to give
particulars, In one or two points only, do
the statements agree. One of these is, that
Eddy Is very badly wounded, and will
probably die. Kemmer has not been ar
rested, and Is secreting himself, probably
to escape the vengence Of the relations Of
the injured man.

4 FEARFUL CRIME.
The Demon of incompetence at his Bloody
Work.


Work.
We find the following particulars of a
terrible crime perpetrated in Madison
county, in this state, in the Jackson
courier:
A man by the name of Matt. Glidewell,
with his wife and children, was living on
the farm of Mr.. Ed. Mullins, where the
horrible deed was perpetrated. Glidewell,
who is in the habit of drinking to intoXi-
cation, went home on the day the crime
was committed in a fit of delirium tremens,
and becoming infatuated at his wife, struck
her over the head with gun which he
held in his hands, inflictiug q horrid
wound, which bled profusely, and, it is
thought, will soon prove fatal. Having
MORALLY wounded his wife, as he thought,
be then struck one of his children, a little
girl of nine or ten years, with the same
weapon, infiicting painful but probably
net a serious wound. ....
This done, he drew knife and signified
his intention of cutting the Threats of each
of his family, whereupon the little girl who
had been struck, seeing her mother cover
ed with blood, rushed from the house for
the purpose of seeking assistance. At some
distance she discovered neighbor named
Gibson, who was hunting, and, having at
tracted his attention, told him that her
father had cut her mothers throat and had
tried to kill her. Mr.. Gibson made haste
20 get to the housr, but, before he arrived,
was discovered by Glidewell, who adj
vanced upon him with an open knife.
Gibson retreated several hundred yards
with Glidewell in hot pursuit, refusing to
stop, whereupon Gibson raised his gun
and fired at GlideYell, the shot taking eff
feet in his left side and shoulder, bringing
him to the ground.
Attar Glidewell received the wound he
fell into dormant state, which lasted for
some time. Having recovered from his
stupor he not only forgave Mr.. Gibson, but
remarked that "the only thing he regret
ted was, that he didn't kill him on the
spot" DR.. Robinson was called in to at
tend the wounded persons. He thinks
that Mrs. Glidewell is MORALLY wounded,
while Giidewell and his little daughter
will recover. tbs thought that Glidewell
would have killed his whole family, being
only deferred from the hellish deed by the
timely appearance of Mr.. Gibson.

HerOism Begins at Home.

We often hear people speak Of heroic action
with certain surprise at its performance not
altogether complimentary to the performer
He forgot himself" they say "he surpassed
himsaf; The was carried away by a noble i'm
pulse" This is not true. A man does not for
get himself in emergency; he asserts himself,
rather; that which is the deepest and strongest
in him breaks suddenly through the exterior of
calm conventionAlities, and for a moment you
know his real value you get = measure of his
capacity. But this capacity is not created, as
some say, by the emergency. No man can be
carried father by the demands Of the moment
than his common aspirations and sober purposes
have prepared him to go. A brave man does not
rise 20 the OCCASION the occasion rises 10 him.
His bravery was in him before-dormant, but
alive; unknown perhaps 10 himself; for we are
not apt TO appreciate the slow sure gains of con-
yiotions OF duty steady followed of patient con-
tinusnce in well-doing; Of daily victories over
self until a sudden draft upon US shows what
they have amounted TO. We are like water
springs whose pent-up streams rise with OPP
portunity TO the level Of the undstion-head,
and no higher, a man selfish at heart and in
