WHAT KISS COsr.

Very recently at Veveyse, in the Canton
of Friburg, a young baker received a visit
from two young girls whose object was to
settle a bread account. In squaring the
account there was centime short, and the
baker laughingly proposed to liquidate this
balance by kissing the elder one Of the two
sisters, who was sixteen years Of age, TO
which she aeceded. This amused the
younger girl, who in her turn also received
a kiss. When they returned home they
recouuted the circumstance to their
parents as a piece Of pleasantly;
but the father was by no means disposed to
view the occurrence in this light. He i'm
mediately went off to consult the cure, who
characterized the act as a scandal; the lat
ter forthwith went to the Syndic, and this
functiOnary, without loss of time, mus
tered the whole Communal Council, and
the affair began to assume colossal proper
tions. A charge Of attempt at corruption
was launched against the baker, and judi
cial proceedings were commenced. But
the father Of the young baker heard Of what
was passing, and warned his son, who
Judged it prudent to leave his business and
the town, and take refuge in Geneva; but
Justice was not to be defeated, and the
authorities Of Friburg demanded the extra
dition of the youth from the Government
of Geneva. He was given up, seemingly
without hesitation, and was incarcerated in
the prison Of Chatel for eighteen days be
fore his case came on for hearing. The
charge was eventually referred to the
Chambre d'AccusatiOn, who, however, de-
clared il was unfOunded. lis suggested
as possible that the young fellow viii OBJ
tain some compensation for the loss he has
sustained in his business.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17.-Mr. Orth, from
the Joint Committee on the Reception of
King Kalakaua, reported a recommended
tion for his presentation to the House to-
morrow. Agreed to.
The House then went into Committee of
the Whole, Mr. L. II. Roberts in the chair,
on the legislative appropriation bill.
Nothing of public interest occurred in con-
sideration of the bill until the paragraph
was reached which makes provision for the
Bureau of Education. A proposition to
increase the clerical force of the bureau
was made by Mr.. Monroe, and advocated
by himself, Hoar and Townsend, and was
opposed by Frye and Cox. The latter
avowed his hostility to the whole system
of bureaucracy, and declared all those
bureaus which had no warrant in the con-
stitution, would be abolished by the next
Congress, because, if the Democratic party
had no power in the Senate, it had power
in the House to prevent the passage of I'M
just laws.
Mr.. Garfield favored the increase propos-
ed 10y Mr.. Monroe, and defended the Blu
reau of Education as a necessary instnI-
ment for Obtaining and publishing educa-
tional statistics.

NASHVILLE TENN. FRIDAY. DECEMBER Is. 1874.

Mr.. Willard, of Vermont, argued agains'
the Bureau of Education as an unwar-
ranted interference with matter which
the people themselves could, and did bet
Ter take care of, and declared that there
was no more reason for the Bureau or Edu-
cation or the Bureau Of Agriculture, than
there was for a Bureau of Surgery or boots
and shoes. Finally, Mr.. Monroe's PROPOSE
ton was rejected.
Mr.. Hereford moved to strike out the
whole appropriation for the Bureau OF Edu-
cation, and argued against the whole sys-
tenn of Capitalization. He referred 70
Spain as illustrating that system by which
nation became powerful, but by which
individuals were dwarfed. The motion was
rejected.

MURDERED WITH A BOULDER.


We learn from a gentleman connected
with Northern business house the follow
ing facts inrelatiOn TO deadly adray which
occurred at Kingston, Tenn, on Tuesday
last: A man named Wilson, who is said
to be an ex-cOnvict, is reported TO have bad
some angry words with another man named
George Cock in relation to some transae-
ton between them. They parted, how
ever, without coming to blows. After VIII
son went away, another man, named JACK
IsOm, came up to Cook and said that If he
had said to him what he had said 70 Will
son, he would leave him lying on the
ground. Cook replied that this would have
to be tried, and turned away from him. As
Cook started to move away, IsOm picked
up boulder weighing three or four pounds
and threw it at Cook, striking him on the
left side of the head, just above the ear.
The skull was crushed by the blow, so that
for about an inch and half in diameter II
pressed upon the brain. The doctors
trepanned him, but at last accounts he was
not expected to live
Isom ran off after the ARRAY, but was Sp-
pretended within mile Of the city and
lodged in Jail.

IT seems to be understood that, soon
after the holidays, there will be a Con-
gressional caucus, not of Republicans
or of Democrats, but of men holding
similar views on banking and currency,
which, of course will be followed by
another, composed of men hold oppo-
site views. Members of Congress say
that the pressure from their constitu.
ents is too strong to be resisted much
longer, and that the above question, and
that of securing, by whatever means,
cheap transportation for produce from
the interior to the seaports, must per-
force be the main ones in the immedi-

JACKSON, Miss, Dec. IL The Legisla-

all the members present. The Governor
sent in a message claiming that the present
condition of affairs was brought about by
violent white men for political purposes
He says: "At this moment the State and
county authorities are successfully resisted
and free action by the officials is impossible.
The insurgents have deliberately and
knowingly entered upon a work of revolu-
ton. and we must face the facts as they
exist. If the instruction is successful, it
must reduce the majority TO the will Of a
minority, and that minority must retain
power by legislation as harsh and cruel as
the first acts of violence, in which case, one
race will be deprived of their rights and re-
manded back to as unfortunate a condition
as they have ever known"
The majority of the House are blacks
and the Governors whole message is an ap-
peal to the prejudices Of that majority. It's
general tenor cannot be mistaken.
The Legislature does not seem to know
how to grapple the problem presented to
them. P 'obably they will ask the United
States for troops for Vicksburg

tion i'm the Board.
1t appears, from this report, that the
Board has been run for years solely for the
purpose of plundering the city treasury.
Street cleaning contracts have been almost
invariably let to the highest bidder, in
stead of the lowest, as required by law. 1t
is shown that The contracts were awarded
to nearly the amount of 100000 above the
lowest bids. The report concludes with a
resolution for the complete reorganization

bismarck Threaten. 20 Resign.

EAA1AAANM[A AaACoe1A8 - 4C1AAAs
BERLIN, Dec. 17.-It is rumored that
Bismarck regards the action Of the Reich.
stag, in voting to uphold its dignity, that
| the constitution should be amended to pre-
vent the arrest of deputy during the ses-
sion, as a vote ofwant Of confidence, and he
will resign. 1t is further said in conse-
quence, that the resolution will be modi-
fed.
The Post of this city, to-day expresses
the hope that Bismarck has not yet definite
ly decided to resign from the government,
but it adds that however deplorable such
decision by the Chancellor must be regard
ed, it would not be productive of imminent
danger to the State. The Kreds letting
says, that the rumors Of the Chancellor's
resignation emanated from his intimate
friends, who say that the Prince de-
clared that he was weary, and that 1t was
impossible for him to govern with the
present majority in the Reichstag.
Another report gives Herr Denim,
deputy in the Reichstag, as authority for
the statement that the Prince intends re-
signing his portfolio in the government.
Herr DENIM announced that Bismarck, in
view of the vacillating majority in the
Reichstag, would be forced to resign.
Bismarck's shrewd Little Game.
Prince Bismarck had an interview with
the Emperor to-day. RumOs Of his resig-
nation are still repeated, but in some par
liamentary circles it is reported that the
difficulty has been completely settled. The
opinion is almost unanimous that yeSter-
DAYS action of the Riechstag did not show
a want of confidence, and it is considered
certaiD that even If the Chancellor has
rendered his resignation, the Emperor will
not accept it.
He VIII Stay.
LONDON, Dec. Is, A. MA special to
the Morning Post, from Berlin, says it is
positively asserted that Bismark rendered
his resignation, which was refused. He
afterwards conferred with the leaders of
the National party regarding the future
conduct of affairs in Parliament and an
understanding was secured.

The KnOrrille Chronicle learns from MIR.
NJ. j. Condor, contractor on the Cincin-

Thursday last, a colored man was killed by
two other colored men, who had been hired
by another of their race for ten dollars, to
commit the crime. The murderers made
their escape but the man who hired them
was arrested. Mr.. Condor says that this is
the third murder among the eolOred men in
the last four weeks, and he has no idea Of
how many have been killed since the work
was commenced. He says they get full Of
whisky and fight amongeach other, and gen
orally the result is one killed and several
wounded, or if none killed number at
least wounded. Last week about twenty
five colored men got after one Of their race
and run him in the river, and would have
shot him in the water had not his father,
