EThe Corporation Sued for S25, 200
Damages.

The trial of the case of Graham vs.. the
Mayor and City Council, was commenced
before Judge Baxter, in the Circuit Court,
yesterday morning. This is a suit brought
by Margaret Graham, wife and administra-
trix of Frank Graham, deceased, to recover
$4,000 damages for the death of her hus-
band, whom, it is alleged, died from the
effect Of injuries received on account Of the
negligence of the city authorities. The de-
elaTation sets forth that, about o'clock on
the night of the 9Th of October, 1871, the
deceased fell into a hole in the plank side
walk on the west side of Market street, a
short distance below Broad, and thereby
received injuries which resulted in death.
Graham instituted the suit during his
life, but since his death it is being pros
ecuted for the benefit of his wife and child
rem. Several dispositions were read and a
number of witnesses examined yesterday.
The deposition of DR.. j. p. Hammer states
that the deceased came to his death by the
fracture Of a rib, and pleurisy caused
thereby.
The case is still pending, and its trial
will, probably, consume several days. The
counsel for the plaintiff are Bate 81 Will
liamS, p. G.. S. Perkins and William Ew-
ing, while the Mayor and City Council are
represented by City Attorney Martin, A.

It was rumored on the streets yesterday
that the negro Bowerman, whose adven-
lures in connection with the white girl,
Miss Rudduck, are known to our readers,
had been lynched upon his arrival at Viii
mingtOn, .. That this report is untrue is
proven by the following dispatch from VIII
mington to the Cincinnati Gazette: sThe
Sheriff arrived to-day on the u NJ. train,
from Nashville, with his criminals. About
$50 PERSONS were gathered at the depot 10
witness the arrival. 1t was feared, on the
part of some, that an attempt might be
made to lynch Bowerman by Ruddueks
friends. Consequently, the authorities of
the town were present to interfere, if any
such attempt should be made; but every
thing passed peacefully and orderly.
Bowerman was lodged in Jail 70 await a
preliminary examination on a charge Of
grand larceny and seduction. There is no
doubt that he is candidate for the Colum-
bus penite..tiaTy.

GOETHE'S FAUST.
Prof. Frank smaller on That subte

1 n EhuA Oh In8l SuOlcCl
Notwithstanding the disageeable weather
of last night, and the unusual attraction al
present offered in the way of amusements
large audience of our best citizens, in.
Guiding many ladies, assembled at Nc
Clure's Hall, Cherry street, to hear the
lecture of Prof. Frank Smaller, of the Uni
versity of the South, on "The Tragedy of
Faust by Goethe" the lecture being given
under the auspices of the Robertson Associ-
alton.
In the early part of the evening Kirt-
lands orchester rendered some choice selec-
tions, after which the Edgefield Quartette
Club sang "Roll Back Again, Ye BY gone
Years." and ''Out in the Cold" One of
the members of the club being absent, they
sang under some disadvantage.
The speaker was happily introduced by
Col. James B. Craighead, who briefly al
luded 10 the lecturers gallant services in
the Southern cause.
Prof. Smaller gave historical account of
the ancient legend itself, and adverted to
the labors of the German poet Lessing in
reference to the literature of Germany,
which had prepared the way for the subse-
quent great German poets, Goethe and
Schiller. Goethe's early associations caus-
ed the subject of Faust to be always upper
most in his mind, and even Napoleon S
counsel to devote his great powers to the
death of Caesar did not influence him.
The revolution of Luther was contrasted
with the literary revolution of Leasing, and
then a historical sketch was presented of
the conception, progress and final compile
ton of Goethe's tragedy, which he bore in
his mind for upwards of sixty years. The
three principal characters of this tragedy
are Faust, Mephisto and Margaret, and
each role was fully developed by the lee
turer-that Of Margaret in a manner novel
in criticism.
The ruling idea of this tragedy, as devel-
oped by the lecturer, was, that this epos is
not like the tragedies of Shakespeare or
Schiller, or a mere doctrine of retributiOn,
but on the contrary, an epic picture of ever
continuing human development.
At the conclusion Of mis- lecture Prof.
Smaller was warmly congratulated.

pedestrians passing up and down Capitol

The latehes to the courthouse gates are
of an ingenious and peculiar pattern, de-
signed, no doubt, for good purpose. That
there is not more profanity among men is
due to the fact that there is not many such
gate fastenings in the world.
IL is hoped that another brick floor is not
included in the contemplated improve
ments to be made in and around the mar
kethOuse. Something more durable and
less likely to retain dampness is needed.
Arrangements are being made for the
construction of extensive cattle sheds near
the depot of the Nashville and Chatta-
nooga Railroad. 1t will be a great con-
venience to those shipping live stock to or
from Nashville by railroad.
An Edgefeld gentleman relates that the
first time he ever saw his wife, she was
flying across a vacant lot clinging with des-
paration to the tail Of pet calf. But she
was very young at that time and wouldn't
think of doing anything of that sort now.
The city fathers of Edgefeld Gan econom-
ical body,) have excited considerable
complaint by ordering the light in their
new street lamps tobe extinguished at mid
night, whereas many persons have occasion
to pass through the streets of this, Nash
ville's principal suburb. There used to be a
very economical man up in Illinois. He
bought a full set of false teeth, but never
wore them except when he was going out
INTO company.

feels some hesitation about circulating
about through the streets perched on cor
poration cart. When the procession started
out yesterday morning, he begged to be ex-
cused, but was finally induced to fall into
line. As he rode down street on a scaven-
ger cart, instead of conducting himself as
though he considered it a triumpnal car,
he sat with his arms folded and hat pulled
down over his eyes, scowling and muttering
Bible words to himself.y

Will not get through with the list until a
late hour to-day, as each applicant is care
fully examined as to his or her identity,
the testimony of two witnesses in each
case being also taken. In spite Of all pre-
cautions, however, efforts are occasionally
made by colored people TO secure bounty
money TO which they are not entitled, and
sometimes it is only by the closest ques-

This evening, Maj. Gibson will go to
