The Nashville Union and American and the
Nashville Republican Banner have consolidated
and the joint paper is to be known hereafter
as the Daily American. The leading editorial
in the first number says: eff the consolida-
ton has any political significance, it is that
of an assured cooperation of the elements of
opposition to the Republican party" We
welcome the new paper into the ranks of
Democratic journals, and doubt not it will be
able to do some solid work in the approach

the whole army amounting to As, 1870 men.
To this force must be added sixteen frontier
battalions $4,000 men), eighteen squadrons
and thirty.eight battalions Of the landwehr or
National Guard, mum boring Al, 400 men, and
a reserve of Is, 900 home guards for garrison
duty. Thus Roumania, with population of
d 500, 900, can put in the field an army of
$4,000 men, well differed, and armed with
the most improved modern weapons.
It thus appears that leaving out OF the &C.
count the adjoining Sclavonic provinces of
Austria, such as Croatia and Dalmatia, and
supposing that Bulgaria and Albania should
take no part in the crusade against the Os-
manli power, the Turkish tributary provinces
Of Servia, Bosnia and Roumania could alone
if they joined their forces with the insur-
gents OF Herzegovina and Montenegro
whose numbers might be soon increased to
$4,000 or 10000 fighting men-put into line
an army of over 800, 900 men, of which Ser.
via weuld contribute 1873, 900, Roumania 1885,
900 and Bosnia $4,000 or 60,OO].
This already would be formidable array.
but who can doubt that in such an event all
the Christian subjects of European Turkey
would rise as one man, and that, backed by
volunteers from Greece and the Southern
Sclavonic possessions of Austria, they would,
if simply let alone, wipe out the last vestige Of
Turkish dominion in Europe? But on this,
as on previous occasions, Turkey may be pre-
served from dismemberment by the jealousy
Of the great powers of Europe, who may not
be able to agree on division of the frag-
ments of the shattered Empire. very few
weeks-perhaps days-win doubtless settle
this vital point.

Letter from Bell county.

LAGRANGE, BELL COUNTY. June l. 1875.
DEAR LBDGER-Please find space in
your journal for a few items of news
from a country correspondent. The
farmers Of this and adjacent sections Of
country have every reason to feel CRATE
full for not only the past but the present
prosperity Of the country. We have had
refreshing rains that animated the hus-
bandman, and never before did crops
look SO Aourishingly. Wheat will more
than double itself on the ~uplands, and
will pan opt, on an average, from fifteen
to twenty bushels per acre. Neither
smut nor rust has appeared, and the
long, full heads Of wheat indicate a Bet
ter quality than has heretofore been seen
in this locality.
We will have plenty to eat next year,
and will also have a little money.
King Cotton looks better than has been
seen here since a~nte.bellum days; no
disease has as yet affected his limbs, nor
Is such likely now TO appear.
LAGRANGE is one Of the three cities
claiming the county seat Of Bell county,
which county was established on the 9Th
ult. BY a vote Of 1872 against 1879. Much
interest and considerable excitement are
manifest on the result of the vote to
select a county seat, which contest will
come off on the 18th inst. Quite an
army Of candidates are offering them
selves for the county offices, and the
candidates display the greatest polite
ness and urbanity toward the farmers.
On Friday last a baseball contest took
s-,'.ea graen between the
taGrangers and the Moscowites, when
contest was witnessed by all the bellies
Of our city, as well as many Of those
fy5,n sae surrounding country. The
aoscowites carried Of the prize and Ron
The championship.

rHE hurry Law.

The Supreme Court has decided,
though not unanimously, that n Of the
jury laws passed as a measure Of re-
trenchment and reform by the Legisla-
ture is unconstitutional. The decision
quotes from the code as though it were a
part Of the constitution. There was I'M
due haste made to get at this case in the
court; 1t was given p~recedencs over hum
dreds Of cases Of long standing that were
not reached at adjournment. 1t is GER
tainly something unusual for an appeal
from a ten dollar fine in a contempt case
to 60 direct to the Supreme Court and be
disposed Of in such a summary anner.
There are good and eminent lawyers in
the State who yet think the act constitu-
tionsl and the reasoning Of the Supreme
Court hardly up to the usual standard.
The other jury law. allowing litigants to
dispense with jurors in civil eases, is one
of Importance and not likely to be OPP
posed by the same violent prejudices.

NEw ORLEANS has a horror that is
without parallel aud seems to- be well au-
thenticated. It seems that a Tennessee
negro named George Brooks, aged nine
teen years, died Of small-pOx at the hos
pital. At least, he died to all intents
and purposes, and the doctor certified
that he was dead. The body was placed
in a rough coffin, which was put on a
wagon and started for the p%otter's field.
On the way the negro revived, pushed up
The lid and tried to get out, as several
persons living on the road testify. The
driver, however, thought he ought to be
dead at least, aud after stopping long
enough on the way to put an extra nail
or two in the lid made haste fer the
graveyard. It was even reported that
the driver struck the man with a brick
