ExcENrR1c1r1Es OF FAsHloN.--Next to
the chignon and panier, comes the ma
MIA which has sprung up across the
ocean for wearing earrings that repre-
sent animals and implements. Like
all other freaks of the tickle and silly
goddess, it will doubtless have its day
despite criticism and common sense.
The custom is carried to the most alb
surd lengths, aud a Paris correspon-
dent of one of the Eastern fashion
journals says that it is not rare to see
pending from ladys ear, monkeys,
guinea pigs, lizards, chandeliers, with
candles in them; bird cages, filed with
birds; tortoises, turtles, shovels, and
who knows what. Gold stirrups in the
ears are also very popular, and if the
lady's husband be soldier she wears
his Sword and "epaulettes" in her
ears. This is not pretty, and no fash
ion can make it so. The French, who
justly pride themselves on their taste,
say that these eccentricities come from
" over the seas" but precisely where
they originated we are left to conjecture.
In this country the style will be readi-
ly adopted as shoddy, will be afforded
an opportunity of displaying the dis
tinctive branch of business from which
they derive their title of admission to
"polite society,"" For instance, what
could be more appropriate than a
" chandelier with lighted candles" for
the wife of the tallow merchant, or the
shovel and tongs that of the hardware
dealer? The stirrups would suit danes
accustomed to ride hobbies, and the
oil-can would be an excellent badge
of butterflies of fashion who owe their
existence to petroleum! The same cor
respondent says that new style of
head-dress for ladies resembles some
what q pig-tail. It is an English in
novation. All the hair is tied at tho
top of the head, and then it is loosely
turned back or it is plated, but in
either case it falls on the neck, and the
ends are tied together with colored
ribbon. In London, jet embroidery has
become quite turore. One sees wo-
men clad from head to foot in black, and
yet so dazzling from the quantity of jet
beads they carry that one can scarcely
look at it without winking.

Opinions OF the Nashville Press.


From the Banner.l
OF course there are many Of our peo-
pie to whom it is not necessary to make
any appeal, as they know their own in
terests and those OF their community
and State sufficiently well TO heartily
disapproVe and bravely frown down
everything like this lstest lawlessness.
Such people are yet by overwhelming
odds in the majority IN our State, and,
apart from an intelligent sense of what
is for their best interest, they have an
abiding respect for the law as such. To
these we had no need to make appeal.
| They will do all they can without being
reminded of their duty by US. There is
a word, however, to be said TO those
who are taking personal hand in these
indignities TO the law, and it is this:
They are only giving vent, in nine
cases. cut OF ten, to a hot and blind-eyed
passion, and laying up for themselves,
certainly, an abundance Of after re.
gret, while it is almost as certain that
they are bringing down upon them
selves the infeXible vengeance of the
law. Such conduct cannot be suffered
to go unnoticed. Tue State authorities
will not fail to hunt out the States re-
fTactory subjects, and whenever found
the duty is well defined and the neces-
sity is stern and unbendiDg in such
cases. You, who are actually engaged
in this lamentable business, are acting
unfairly 20 your neighbors in bringing
upon them Odium and repute which they
have no hand in engeBdering. Let US
have no more OF this. IF you find your
selves aggrieved or insulted, it may be
wiser to not bring additional woe and
aflictiOn upon yourselves and neighbors.
Never was there s. time for you to show
your best manhood and real moral forti-
tude than now, by acting for the peace
and good of your community and peo-
Ule, and bearing with brave patience
any personal grievances which are short
Of attack upon the life or priceless
honor of your family. You are not asked
to tamely let your lives be taken. This is
not expected of you. You are only
asked to be law-abiding citizens, and If
you become anything else you array
yourselves against the State of Ten
nessee; you array yourselves against the
United States, and your punishment
will come swift and severe. All good
citizens are down on this thing. As for
the negroes, they will protect themselves
best by walking with the utmost care,
and contenting themselves with the
| MANY liberties that are already granted
! to them. There is a point 10 the warn

was tending toward au outbreak Of some
character, when the friRhtful news from
Trenton created the most profound sen
sation throughout the State. The Rad
ical party, which is composed Of Federal
office-hOlders, oflice-seekers and the ne
gro voters, is responsible for all these
Outrages and crimes. II is now time for
the negro to discover who are his best
friends-to abandon the little Federal
office holders ring-to avoid the profess
siOnaI office-seekers in the Radical
ranks, and to attach himself to the
southern white people of the State who
can and will protect him in all his rights
and privileges. But the negro must give
up that dream, that pet idea, Of social
equality with the dominant and superior
race of white men.

THE WHITEW ASKING RESOLU-
TEONS.
What the Plymouth Church People
Think OF their Pastor and the
Charges Against Him by
GfisOn ana MSulgOn.

We received last night the full report
of the investigating committee Of Ply
mouth church, synopsis of which we
published last week, appended and a
part of which were the following resOlu-
tions adopted by a full church meeting
ResOlUed, That the evidence laid be-
fore the examining committee, not only
does not afford any foundation for put
ting the pastor of this church, Rev.
Henry Ward Beecher, upon trial, but
on the contrary, establishes to the perfect
satisfaction of this church his entire in
nOcence and absolute personal purity in
respect to all charges hereafter made
against him by Theodore Tilton.
ReSOlUed, That our confidence and
love for cur pastor, so far from being
diminished, are heightened and deepen
Ell by the unmerited suffering which be
has so long borne, and that we welcome
him with sympathy more tender, and
trust more unbOunded than we ever
felt before, to his public labors among
us, TO cur church, our families, our
homes and our hearts.
After the reading of the report and
passage of the resolutions, some remarks
of the chairman in allusiOn to Mr..
Moulton were responded to by that gem
tleman with "YOn're liar sir! You are
a liar!p The greatest confusion ensued,
and Mr.. Moulton finally left The COM
mittee protected by policemen from
many attempts TO do him violence.

may yet be found in the deep recess of
some obscure spot. 1t is not probable
that they escaped, but were
FoULLY MURDERED.
However, time will reveal that which
we do not now know. From certain in

probable the guilty q detected and

lowing comprises the latest news from
Pickettsville:
six more Of TIE negroes believed 20
have been engaged IN the attempted
murder Of young ILorgan and Warren
last Saturday night, and also said to be
ringleaders in tbs organization TO mur-
der the white people, were arrested
Wednesday night and sent 70 jail az
Jackson, II being deemed unsafe to in
carcerate them at Trenton. 1t is re-
ported that two handred men from Mad
ison county visited Pickettsville to pro-
tect the white citizens. The negroes were
captured late Wednesday night near La
yinia.
