A BILL has been introduced into our
Legislature, limiting the time that Treas
urers of eithe, the State, countie. or towns,
shall i9'i their Office to one term. The
object of this bill is to lessen the frequency
Of dcfalsations Oh the part of these off,
cisls. No doubt it tie public funds were
accounted for oftener, az this bill would ne
csssita.e, there would be less opportunity
given for anr fraudulent practices ; and
there would ts no danger of public money
being used to promote second election, as
has sometimes been the case.

most thoughtful, scholarly and in
every way admirable productions
/ ever heard. 1t was listened to BY
a crowded audience and the high
est compliment that can be paid a
public speaker, was awarded him
the perfect stiffness and sustained
attention from first to last, of large
assembly;
The Baptists of Milan have a fine
church edifice, and the pastor and
congregation were unremitting in
attention to their visiting friends.
In their efforts they were generous
ly seconded by the people of the
city of all denominations. This
meeting of the Association was
pleasant and memorable. 1t was
the last time that the old West Ten
nessee Association will meet in this
State as a separate body. Hence
forth the Church is unified in
Tennessee.
1 cannot close this letter without
speaking of the Central Hotel,
where your correspondent found
quarters 1t is under the direction
of Mrs. Flsck, assisted by her intel
ligent daughters. 1t is one of the
best eating houses in Tennessee and
we commend it and its worthy host
ess to the travelling pnblic.
