How Nashville is Injured by Reek-
less Railroad Management

HOW NASHVILLE Is AnIuEcu " 1CCH-
less Railroad Management
The following extract from a letter ad-
dressed to MeSsrs. Mclean, Harrison X
Co. by a West Tennessee merchant tells its
own story:
"The last lot Of goods bought Of you
were ten days on the road, and then some
were damaged by the carelessness Of the
railroad employed. The way the Paducah
and Memphis road is doing business is a great
damage to the interests Of the merchants
Of Nashville, and to those who buy Of them,
on account of reckless management, etc.
We are afraid to buy goods in Nashville
not because prices are not equally as low
as in other cities, all considered, but we
have no assurance Of getting them without
great trouble and in damaged condition"

sist in never making blunders, but in never
making the same one the seckOned time

MEMPHIS, July 27.-COnsiderable ex-

the appearance of an extra purporting to
be the confess on of Henry Ward Beecher,
admitting his guilt Of the charges made by
Theo. TiltOn, and attempting to defend his
action from the Biblical standpoint. The
article was remarkably well written and
thousandr of extras were sold before the
deception was discovered. a number of
newsboys were arrested for selling them,
and the police are endeavoring to find the
author. The newsboys say they bought

SPRINGFIELD, July 27.-The constables
seized about eight hundred dollars worth
of liquor in WeStfeld Saturday. While
being conveyed here three men in the en-
ploy of the owner captured it, but, their
horse giving out, were obliged to abandon
the property. 1t was again seized by the
constables, but its removal from Westfeld
was prevented by a mob Of about one hun
bred persons, some armed, who agreed,
however, that the liquor should remain in
the custody of the officers. During Satur-
day the liquor was stolen and carried into
Connecticut. Westfeld is ablaze with eX-

Night Reports.

The disaster is far greater than at first sup
posed. 1t is now thought the total loss of
life will not be short of 200, and the loss
of property is propOriOnate. The EreniRg
Chronicle, in its five o'clock edition, placed
the loss at 142 and the names of missing
parties are continually coming in. The
extent of territory damaged is not less than
twenty to twenty-five miles in diameter,
and how the main portion of the city of
Pittsburg, lying as it does, in the centre of
this circle, escaped without further injury,
seems almost miraculous. The prevailing
theory seems to be that the disaster was
caused by some kind of water spout.

The GIRL TO FIND.-The true girl has
to be sought after. She does not parade
herself in show goods. She is not fash
ionable. Generally she is not rich. But
oh! what heart she has when you find
her-so large, and pure, and womanly.
When you see it you wonder if those
snowy things outside are women. II
you gain her love, your two thousands
are millions. She'll not ask you for a
carriage or ffrst-class house. She'll
wear simple dresses, and turn them
when necessary, with no vulgar mag
nificate to frown upon her economy
She'll keep everything neat and nice in
your sky parlor, and give you such O
welcome when you come home that
you'll think your power higher than
ever. She'll entertain true friends on q
dollar, and astonish you with the new
thought how little happiness depends
on money. She'll make you love home
tif you don't you're brute), and teach
you how to pity while you scorn poor
fashionable society that thinks itsell
rich and vainly tries to think itsell
happy. Now, do not, pray you, say
any more, "I can't afford to marry
Go, find the true woman. And you
can. Throw away that cigar, burn W
that switch cane, be sensible yourself
and seek your wife in sensible way

BUTLER HOUSE HAcK.-A few days
ago the fine hack, belonging to the But
Ter House, was smashed to pieces in the
following manner. 1t was standing in
the stable yard, as usual when not in
use, when some boy took away the prop
that kept it from running down hill,
and taking the tongue, started to pull
the hack. Having started it, he was
unable to stop it, and in trying to get
out of the way, fell and log, over
which the hack passed, rolled upon his
arm and held him fast. just as the We
hicle was going over high bank, back
Of the stable, the tongue caught, and
raised the whole wagon clear off the
ground and landed it on its back, at the
bottom Of the embankment some twen-
ty feet below. Usually the hack is filled
with children playing about, but for
tunately no one was in it at the time.
The boy has got several bruises as re-
ward for meddling with things that he
has no business to touch. If it proves
a useful lesson to him and others, we
shall not be sorry, provided he expert
ences nething serious from the acci.
dent.

OUR COUNTY MATTERS.

During the past week our County
Commissioners have had several meet
ings counselling as to what they should
do in the present state of affairs. 1t
seems that one of them was in favor OF
urging Newton 70 resign and the other
two were either opposed to it, or did not
want to take any action upon the mat
ter. Saturday was busy day. New
ton proposed to resign provided they
would appoint the person he would
name to fill the vacancy. As there were
several candidates for the position, no
decision was arrived at that day. New
toms counsel opposed his resignation
strongly. The matter went over till
Monday. The Commissioners again
met and concluded to accept Newton's
proposition. They accepted his resig-
nation and appointed j. ]. Sullivan to
fill the vacancy. In doing this it will
be seen that the Commissioners, instead
Of making their own terms, accepted
the terms Of the retiring Auditor. Had
some other party, not connected in any
way with the ring or the late nomina-
ton been chosen, Sullivan's chances for
election would have been much better.
As it now is, 'his goose is cooked" SIS
the saying is. His defeat is made sure
by his acceptance of the Office, at the
instigarion OF the guilty party just re-
firing. This ought to be enough to
prove clearly and distinctly, that Sui
livan, perhaps pnknowingly, has been
the dupe of the ring. At least he is the
man that they worked SO hard to have
nominated and elected. And now when
it becomes necessary to turn over the
Office to some other party, he Is the man
and the only man, that they viii con-
sent to have. Now why is thisi There
certainly must be some reason for it.
There are some who would have US
think, with themselves, that Sui
livan is not the ring candidate. With
the facts now before US we don't know
how any one can come to any other con.
clusion than that he is. He is the man
the ring leaders declared must be cleo
ted. He is the man that must take
Newton's place, or he would not resign.
What stronger proof do you wish to
have? 1t is not our desire to misrep-
resent anybody in the least, but simply
TO state the truth rs we see it. Facts
are stubborn things, and straws win
show which way the wind blows.

to vote for emo license" clause
First, Because it denies the right Of
the State to license crime.
Second, Because seitempowers the Leg
islature to prohibit the traffic when
public sentiment demands it.
Third, 1t gives power to restrict the
traffic, or to provide against evils re-
suiting from it.
Fourth, Because the "no license
clause leaves open the door to legal pro-
hibition for the next twenty years while
the ''license clause" effectually closes
said door.

are informed, instead of going down
the six feet, made the abutments tpenty.
