ADJUSTMENTS.

The OPERA HOUsE.-It was in 1867, we
believe, that Mr.. Edwin Adams last ap-
peared upon the Nashville boards. Even
then he was an established favorite here,
but now, upon returning with these added
wears of experience, during which. he has
been winning laurels in all the leading
cities of the land, he is received with a
greater favor and with more hearty wei
come than ever before. Every seat and all
the standing room in the theatre was OccII-
pied last night by the best people in
Nashville, and from his first ap-
pearance, after the raising of the
curtain, Mr.. Adams held the audience
spell-bound with his mastery rendition Of
Hamlet, Shakespeare's conception of 'the
melancholy Dane" being presented, a
walking, living reality. The audience
was delighted with the play throughout,
attesting the same by repeated and con-
tinued applause. The play worked very
smoothly indeed, when it is remembered
that until yesterday afternoon,
Mr.. Adams had not seen the
company supporting him. Any
little irregularities which may have oc-
CURED last night, will doubtless be missing
entirely nthe remaining performances, and
our citizens may confidently rely upon an
uninterrupted week of "legitimate drama,
successfully rendered. And the prospect is
alluring enough, after the class OF enter
tainments which has obtained at the Opera
House for some time past.
Tonight Marble Heart-another fayorlte
play with Mr.. Adams admirers-will be
rendered, upon which occasion the attend
ance will, no doubt be as large as last night.
Reserved seats at McClures'.
MASONIC HALL.-To-night the Apoc-
slypse will be presented at Masonic Hall
| for the first time in this city. 1t will COZ
sist of the miraculous visions OF st. John,
| produced in a series OF panoramic views
and will constitute highly edifying enter
| tainment. Mr.. Charles Ward, the organ
| list, will be on hand and accompany the
| entertainment with music.
MCCLURE's HALL--PrOf. Smaller, from
the University of the South, will deliver al
McClure's Hall, Cherry street, tonight, his
| lecture on ''Goethe's Faust" The music
accompanying the lecture will be, as before
| of an Unexceptionable character, and not
withstanding the many entertainments al
present in the city, there is much reason tC
think there viii be a large attendance
This is the first lecture of the course, and
season tickets for the twelve lectures should
be secured. The price Of season tickets j;
very moderate, and there should be ne
hesitation in procuring one, for when othel
amusements may be wanting, the "Robert
son Lectures" will furnish first-elaSs enter
tainment and instruction until spring. Re
member the object.

Thanks.
According to appointment, the Jewish
people who participated in the recent fair,
for the benefit of the new temple in course
of erection on Vine street, held final
meeting at the Synagogue on Market
street, Sunday night, for the purpose of re-
ceiving reports and attending to other mat
tiers relative TO the conclusion Of the enter
prise.
The meeting was called to order by Mrs.
NJ. Feldman, president Of the late fair, who
said, the enterprise which was first inaug-
urated on the nth Of May last, was now
about to be finally disposed Of, and ex-
pressed her thanks to all the ladies' for
their labors and perseverance in promoting
it, and also to the committees for their in
valuable services.

THE SpEAKRRsnIp.
Judge Enasmus L. Garaenhire, Of
white.

Judge EEasmus l.. Gerdenhire, OF
To the Union and American.
We present the name of Judge Garden
hire for the 6peakership Of the House of
Representatives Of the Legislature of Ten
tennessee. He has many and eminent
qualifications for the position. He has
held several offices, the discharge of the
duties of which has been to school him to
preside over the deliberations of such
body as the House Of Representatives.
In lS4T-S he was Senator in the Legs
lature from the counties of OveTton, White,
Jackson and FeHtress.
In 1855, he was elected Judge Of the
Mountain Circuit.
In 1861, he was elected member of the
Confederate Congress.
He is a man of fine literary culture. He
received his education at Clinton College,
Lincoln county, Tennessee. Thereafter he
studied the profession of the law And
notwithstanding he has been engaged from
the first in large and lucrative practice,
he has asSiduOuSly kept up The study OF the
English and American classics. And not
only has he devoted himself to the English
literature, but he possesses an especial
fondness for physical science. In this de
partment he has kept apace with the rapid
progress of the most advanced thoughts.
On the whole, he is an experienced par
liamentariaH; an able lawyer and jurist; a
good scholar; a ready, experienced and
skillful debateT; and an exceedingly COM
panionable and genial gentleman.
We would encourage no local cOnsidera-
lions to the neglect Of the public good.
But the fact can not and ought not 10 be
| ignored that he comes from a section OF
the State which feels that its public men
have not received just treatment in the be
stowal of public Offices and honors in the
past. No where have trueF devOtees TO
principle and party been found than in the
mountain region of Middle Tennessee.
When votes are needle for principle, in a
crisis Of party. all eyes have ever turned TO
the neglected section. But when offices
have had to be filed, the hOn0rS have gone
/ in other directions. And the same may be
said of the public expenditures.
We have reached a new era, it is to be
| hoped, in the history Of the country, as
well is in the history Of parties in this
| State. Let the past be forgotten only as
| il casts its lessons Of instruction on the
present and future. Let political antece-
dents be ignored, only so far as they teach
/ our duty now. We confess we have often
been disguised with the endHaVOrs by sly
ness and adrOitness, TO cultivate old party
animosities within the pale of the Demo
/ cratic party. II IS time such conduct
| should have its quietus. II is only by a
cultivation of perfect oblivion Of political
antecedenis, within its party, that its unity
| and success for the future can be assured.
And with these views, and to the end OF
the good of the country and the party, We
propose Judge Erasmus Lee Gardenhire, OF
the county Of White, for Speaker Of the
\ House, CITIZEN.

well seasoned material with which to be-
gin operations, the greater part OF their
walnut timber being five years old. Two
new buildings, $50 by so feet and four
stories high, will be erected without delay

The firm expect to increase their busi-
ness to the capacity Of S2j0,000 per an

make their factory and mill among the
most extensive and complete in the coun-
try. If ample capital, pluck, energy, and
large business experience can accomplish
such results, they are already assured of
success. We hail the enterprise as sub
stantial proof Of the reviving confidence
caused by the improved political situation.

N MEuORIAW

We would mention affectiOnately the name OF
our friend, Mrs. MYRA LENOIR, beloved wife
Of John W. TerTasS, Esq. who died near this
city on the 18th inst Truly death is no respect
ranks, AGES and characters, ike an untimely
frost upon the fairest flowers Of the field Dis
ease lays his blighting touch upon the dearest
objects of our love, and they fade away from
earth To be seen no more. II has been known
for months that our lovely, amiable friend, one
possessed of all the attributes that adOrn and
beautify the female character, was very III, and
but little hope was entertained OF her recovery.
The untimeiy death Of this lovely and inter
estiDg woman Is greatly lamented by large
circle Of relatives aud friends, and il has made
a vacuum which can never be filed. In the
varied relations OF wife, mother, friend and
neighbOr, she was truly an example worthy Of
all Imitation, and the affections OF many hearts
were cntwined around her She was conscious
of her approaching dissolution, and calmly
said, 81 know am dying, but am not afraid
70 die" We viii hear no more the melody OF
that voice which chained the listening ear OF
those around her with its witehing tones, as she
would sing ssNearer, my God, TO Thee, nearer TO
Thee for it Is hushed and still in death; vet we
know il sings nObler, sweeter strains in a land
Of unfading bliss
Then sleep on darling "Myra;" sleep peace
fully in thy grave, where the signing wind, the
singing-bird, on the rustling leaf shall disturb
thee not You were lovei, o, 50 well, in life,
that in death IL Is hard to give thee up. But
God gave thee, He took thee; and inhumble sub
mission VIC bow to His holy will
sYet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life Is ned,
Then in heaven VIC hope TO greet thee,
Where no farewell tear is she'd
