CAMPBELL is terribly anxious to have
it understood that he is opposed to the
Civil Rights bill, though, somehow or
other, be seems to be favorite lawyer
with the miscegenationists. He raised
old Harry because our Supreme Court
did not sustain Judge Frazier's ruling in
the case of Bell, who married a colored
woman, and even talked of an appeal
to the United States Supreme Court
And he is now leading counsel for Gal
loway, the negro who served two years
in our penitentiary for marrying a
white woman, and who was locked
up in the work house, the
other day, for continuing to live
with her. In accordance with the Rad
ical idea that a negro cannot get JUS
tice in our State courts, Campbell has
carried Galloway's case before Judge
Trigg, where it is now pending. If
miscegenation can be legalized in
Davidson county by the decision of
Federal Court-and that is exactly
what Campbell is aiming at-we see no
use in making any more fuss about the
Civil Rights bill. When Campbell has
carried his point, worse cannot possibly
remain behind.

A DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.
Hopkins Liquor store Destroyed

y OOO Insurauee.

Hopkins Liquor store Destroyed
Loss About $4,000, with Only sI5,.
600 Insurance.
At $3.50 last night, FIRE was discovered in
the wholesale grocery and liquor establish
ment of T. J. Hopkins, No. II Public
square. The alarm was promptly sounded,
but for some reason there was delay in
getting the engines npon the ground, dur
ing which, owing to the infamable chaYae-
acter Of the goods, the fire got under such
headway, that it could not be mastered un-
I'll both building and stock had been con-
sumed. The fact that the fire originated in
the rear Of the building, also added mate
rally 10 the difficulty Of checking the
flames, rs the hose had 20 be car
ried through the store adjoining,
occupied by GOodbar & White, dealers in
hats, caps, fiIrs, etc. It was feared at one
time that this establishment would also be
destroyed, as the huge volume of smoke
and flame beat against il, but fortunately
it was saved, though the goods and build
ing were somewhat damaged by water.
Mr.. Hopkins loss is about $4,000, on
which he is insured with Nelson *
Platter, in the Imperial, for 5000, and in
the Home, and North British, Of which
Ross, Gale & Thomas are agents, to the
amount Of $4,000. The building belonged
to Mr.. Platter, of Nelson & Platter, and is a
total loss, the owner having neglected in
suring is. as he contemplated tearing it
down and replacing it with fine building.
Mr.. J. NJ. Hopkins, who occupied a
room in the upper story as a sleeping apart
ment, had all his personal effects burned
up, leaving him without change Of cloth

HON. JOHN M BRIGHT ON THE
CURRENCY.

To the Union and American.
SHELBYvIILE, Oct. 50, Is74.-In your
report Of my speech, last night, you use the
following language;
teTbe Government contracted the vol
ume of currency until there was but
1881, ,000, 900, and as there is about $780,
100000 kept In reserve in the United
States treasury, the volume of currency in
circulation on the last Of December, 1873,
did not exceed $53I. .O30,O 700, and this is ex-
pected to answer the demands Of business
which requires a circulation Of. not less
than SO, 900, 100000
Yonr reporter failed 10 catch my idea. l
read from my currency speech of the 2Sth
of March, 1874, givinga a summary of all the
properly, debts, taxes, productions, imports,
etc, etc. aggregsting nearly $40 900, ,000.-
600, all OF which had to be floated by $751;
100000 available currency.
did dot mean to say that The "de7RGndS
Of business" require a circulation Of not
less than ST., ,00O, 900. se
proceeded then to show thatthe amount
of currency in circulation was not sufficient
TO meet the demands. Win you do me the
kindness 10 make the correction, and very
much oblige yours, etc,

A soUAw sat down on the curb in front
of the pOst-Ofiice i'm Austin, New, and, un-
rolling a bundle of calico, commenced the
manufacture Of dress. In less than an
hour the dress was finished; and putting it
on over her old clothes the squaw pulled
out a pin here, peg there, and united a
string in another place, made one step and,
presto, the old clothes lay in the gutter.
Gathering up the rags just shed, the noble
daughter of the forest cast one look Of tri-
umph ON the spectators and skipped grace
fully Off in the direction Of the Indian
camp. A prominent citizen who was an in
terested witness of the transaction, mildly
remarked that he would give $50 if Mrs p.
G. could shed herself like that.

PROTESTANT EPISCOPAL.
Action In Regard 20 the Theological
seminary-BaPttsma Regeneration,

Etc
NEw YORK, Oct. 3I.-In the Protestant
Episcopal General Convention a committee
OF two Bishops, two clergymen and two
laymen, was appointed to report what leo
islation is necessary to enable the Trustees
to govern the Theological Seminary with
increased facility, and for other purposes
connected with its usefulness.
"A message was received from the House
OF Bishops cOncGrring in the message from
the House Of Deputies relating TO the ap-
pointment Of a Joint committee on. the
French and Spanish prayer books, in the
election of Trustees FOR the Widows and
Orphans Fund, and in the appointment of
commissioners or trustees of the TheOl0gi-
cal Seminary.
A vote was taken by dioeeses and orders
on the question Of concurrence in the mes
sage from home bishops, relating to the
ritual. The message was cOncurred in with
the following result: Clerical vote Al;
diocese represented, d,ayes %; nays 2; divided
/. Lay vote 50; dioeeses represented, ayes
2S; nayes i; divided 2.
The subject of baptismal regeneration
was called up and briefly discussed, and af-
ter motion 70 lay the subject on the table
H4c lOol, Tie uic1Slirc was deicdtcd D1 Tut

amending article 81 by adding the follow
ing:
"Provided, that the General Convention
may by canon arrange aud set forth a short
ened form Of morning and evening prayer,
to be compiled wholly from the Book of
Common Prayer, or may authorize il 10 be
done by any diocese for its own use.n
Clerical vOte-AyeS, 81; noes, 4. Lay
vote-Ayes, Il; noes, %.
The Committee on Amendments to the
Constitution also reported that it would
be inexpedient to appoint any COM
mission to revise the constitution or devise
provincial system for the church. The
result of long discussion was that the
matter was laid on the table.
The commission adjourned until Monday.
