Tennessee bonds are somewhat better,
being quoted in New York at So and at

whatever. Dealers pay S233 and &c, while
they hold much higher.
COmptroller's warrants are very dull,
and are in no demand by taxpayers. They
may be quoted at 95c buying and &c sell

Our local securities are dull and weak.

COTTON.

The quieLness of the Liverpool and the
weakness of the New York markets con-
tinued, in consequence Of which the Nash
vile market was duller than on Saturday.
There was decided unwillingness on the
part of buyers to give the prices asked, and
a like unwillingness on the part OF sellers
to make concessions. We might reprint
our last figures as the nominal quotations,
but few sales were effected by concessions,
and the actual state Of the market induces
us to cut down the better grades &c, below
our last exhibit. The costing quotations

saws there's no use fighting against the
manifest destiny of his name. He's

If the senatorial lightning fails to
strike HIM, he is in imminent dread of
being translated from the Buckeye

the only way in which he can be per-

A vICTOR's TOUCHING TRIBUTE.


The conduct of a gallant Federal sol
der at Mobile is the complement Of the
admirable eulogy of Mr.. Lamar on the
late Charles Sumner. DR.. Palmer on
Decoration Day" had pronounced a
faultless address, when this Federal
colonel, Wickersham, and several Uni
ted States army officers advanced to
the base Of the monument, upon which
Admiral Semmes stood, and Col. Wick
ersham, IN the name of the officers and
soldiers Of the United States army, pre-
scented the admiral with an exquisite
floral Offering. Col. Wickersham
said:
This floral Offering is rendered with
the kindly and sympathetic greetings
of surviving Federal soldiers, resident
in Mobile, who honor the brave and
heroic dead of the late war, and desire
your acceptance of the same as an hum
bic tribute to valor and unselfish devo-
ton TO a cause held dearer than life.
Fresh be the memory of those
Under the sod and the dew, awaiting the judg-
ment day;
Under The one the blue, under the other the
gray.
Admiral Semmes received it with
much feeling, and thanked the donors.
ACYNICAL editor writes that ayoung
lady who had recently given an order
to milliner for bonnet, said, "YOu
are to make it plain, but at the same
time smart, as l sit in a conspicuous
place in church" That young
lady was perfectly right in giving this
order. 1t showed her sense of religious
propriety and her good taste in dress
combined. What Is the use of a pretty
girl having a conspicuous place in
church, if she can't also wear a plain
bonnet-a smart bonnet.

one from Washington, and t}co from Han

Tho Nouinaas.

Tlc Convention on Saturday was un-
commonly we'll attended, and gave promise
OF an increasing interest in the election
among our political friends. The express
sion Of determination and enthusiasm on
the faces Of those present was the best
possible sign of 4 good time coming in the
future. The nominees need no special
commentator of ours.
Joseph IL. Kalcr, nominated for Senator,
IS well known, intelligent and highly
respected business man Of Belfast. in
whose hands all the interests Of his con-
stituents will be safe.
Jason Estes, the other Senatorial candi-
date. is farmer Of Troy, q man univer-
sally esteemed where he is known, of great
popularity. sure to make an excellent run,
and secure votes outside the party lines.
Joseph Sanborn, nominated for Sheriff.
is widely and well known as q business
man, of stirring activity, and large per-
sonal acquaintance. He made good run
two years ago, and it will be found that
the returns on election night will give
a good account of him.
MIR. Wallace who is presented for Corln-
ty Attorney, isa young lawyer of this city,
who has made very favorable impression
during his residence among MS. won the
respect of his associates and 4 fair prac-
tice at the bar. His integrity is unques-
toned
Mr.. Fowler, of Unity, nominated for
County Commissioner, is one of the most
intelligent and successful farmers in this
section 49, an educated, thinking man,
whose well balanced Judgment and clear
perception admirably fit him for the posi-
ton to which he is nominated.
Mr. Wadlin has been long and favorablv
KIN own to the people of the county rs q
business man Of this city As County
Treasurer he would bring to the discharge
of his duties all the needed qualities.
Going before the people with such q
ticket rs this, the Democrats feel that they
will deserve success, and our Judgment is
that they have an nncommonly GOOD op-
portnnity 10 achieve it.

the fund had his bills marked at the bank,
with instructions to have name of the
person returning said bills to the bank
entered, hoping thereby to trace out the
guilty party. After some months the
marked bills made their appearance at
the bank, when it was asertained that the
father of the child was the man who pre-
sented them. He was arrested and pro-
perly punished for his fraud upon svnlpa-
thizing friends.
Another battle is reported in Cuba, in which
20OO Spanish troops are said to have been put to
flight.
