A REFORM NEEDED.
More Heavy Damage.

YESTERDAY Mr.. Andrew J. Moulton
brought two suits against the city-One for
$4,000 and the other for Sl5,l 90, on ac-
count fthe injuries sustained by himself
and family few days since, in consequence
Of the delipidaled condition Of the North
Summer street bridge.
4 few weeks ago Capt. Dix secured a
verdict and Judgment for $1,000 on ac-
count of having been crippled for life by
falling off an unprotected sidewalk in South
Nashville. and there is no doubt but that
Mr.. MoultOn will gain his suit, though the
amount sued for may be cut down by the
jury.
It would seem that no further proof is
needed 10 show that our present street de
partment system is a very defective one,
and that a radical change is abOlutely
necessary. The street department of
Nashville is now under the management
of a street committee, composed of nine
members of the CITY Council, and Who get
no pay for services rendered in this con-
meet ION. hence it is not matter Of surprise
that said services are very Spasmodic, eX
ceedin@ly unreliable and of but little value
10 the city.
The proper care Of the streets of city so
large as Nashville is a serious undertaking,
and one requiring executive ability of no
mean order. The $1,000 the city is COM
PEELED 10 pay Cap. Dix would compensate
first-claSS man for giving his entire atten-
tion TO the supervision of our streets for
nearly ten years, and at least half that
sum, in addition. could be saved the tax
payers in the time named, by placing the
street expenditures in the hands If one
person who would be held eSpOnSihle
therefor and who would take pride in tie
management Of this department.
Let MS drop this Old-fogy system and

As certain parties are circulating reports
which are calculated to be detrimental to
the interest Of the nominees Of the Demo
cratic and Conservative Convention, and,
believing it the duty of every good citizen,
who has the interest of that party at heart,
to refute such assertions, would state that,
from close observation and being intimate
" acquainted with most of the Irish voters
Of the county, they are, with few excep-
tiOuS, a unit for the nominees Of that con-
vention. Those who form the exception
have always been identified with the Black
and Tan party. This thing is done solely
in the interest OF the opposition. Our
Irish citizens are represented on the white
mans ticket, and that, rest assured, is all
they ash. They are the last people in the
world to prove recreant to a cause they es-
pouse; so the people of the county need
have no fears on that score. freshman.

The Court OF Alabama CIaims-Vice
President Wilson Will Not Resign


The Judges of the Court of Commission
on the Alabama claims, under the prOvis-
ions of the Treaty of Washington, hay c de
termined to hold their meeting here for or
canization on the twenty-secOnd. COnSid-
cradle correspondence has already been re-
ceived from the various claimants, present
ing their cases and otherwise taking the
preliminary steps to a prosecution Of their
suit. The court it is understood, will
adopt immediate measures respecting the
presentation of claims, but will not pro-
coed to actual business till some time later.
II Turns out, as was to be expected, that
the rumor Of Vice President Wilson's resig-
nation was without foundation. He was
too anxious for the Office in the first in
stance to throw il away now. Besides,
his health is better than 1T has been for
year; and even if be had indicated pur
pose to resign, his friends would have dis
suaded him, for the leaders of the party
here exhibit considerable CONSERVATION at
the bare idea Of making Mat. Carpen-
ter the heir apparent of the Presidential
chair.
