Arraid Of theIr own Party.

A meeting Of the County Republican Ex-
ecutiye Committee was to have been held
in the Federal Court jury room last night,
but only six members put in an appear
ance-lees than a quorum, hence no busi-
ness was transacted. The object Of the
meeting was to determine whether a con-
vention should be held to nominate can
didate for Mayor. II is generally supposed
that the absentees were opposed 70 a Con-
vention and being fearful that a convention
would be called, they thought e best to
stay away. Another meiifg will be Eeld
next Saturday at II O'Clock.

A man was arrested near Wartrace last
Tuesday and taken to Atlanta for trial, on
the charge Of having stolen about $500 in
cotton and greenbacks at Gainesville, Ca,
some time since. Some months ago de-
tective came up from Georgia with requi-
sition for the same man, but Gov. Porter
and the Governor Of that State being at
ioggerheads at the time, the former re-
fused to issue a warrant for his release.

Alderman Dix's bill, providing for a new
way Of numbering vehicles seems to meet
with considerable favor. 1t is quite an
improvement and would save a large sum
Of money to the city, which the proper Off
Gals would not otherwise collect. The
time the license of any public vehicle ex-
pires is made known by the new contIi-
vance, which will enable policemen to see
at once what new licences are required to
be teken out. 1t is a good measure and
one that should pass.

Reeapture OF Two jail breakers.

Last Jlne six men broke Jail at Lexing-
ton, Ky, among them two men named
Green Pickett alias JnO. W. Ross and
Ellis G. Doris. Last week Doris was
arrested at Louisville and informed the Off
GERS where Pickett could be found. He
said that Pickett could be found in Nash
vile at some good hotel or boarding house,
and in the event the detectives failed to
ind him at any Of those places bis address
could be found at the Post Office left there
for him (Dorris). On Aug. %, Detective
Ryan of this city, received a letter from D.
?. Bligh, Chief of Detectives at Louisville,
stating these facts. Ryan went to the Post
Office and learned that Pickett had left
his address there, stating that he had gone
to Chattanooga. Puckett made his way TO
Cumberland Gap, il East Tennessee,
where he was arrested last Monday. He
was taken back to Lexington, Ky. De-
tective Ryan received a postal card 10 this
effect, telling him not to make any more

seven places by Wesley Tribble, and also
had an arm broken in the scuffle. DR..
Fletcher was called to attend to the wounds
and was of the opinion on Monday evening
that Patton would get well. The difficulty,
we understand, was about the removal Of

Passing Tonight and the Postpone
ment OF the Primaries.
1t is a pleasure to note the fact that the
Common Council passed the Compromise
Redistricting bill on its second reading at
a called meeting last night. The vote was
10 to Three members, Messrs. Willard,
CrOsthwait and Burgess, being absent. The
contest will no doubt be close tonight,
but the friends of the bill are hopeful of its
final passage.
Should the bill become law at the regu-
lar meeting this evening, the Democratic
and Conservative primary ward conventions
appointed for Friday night, the 9th, will
be postponed for few days to give ample
time for the people to know the boundaries
Ofthe new wards and where the voting places
will be. The UNION AND AMERICAN will
leave no one any excuse for ignorance on
these scores. The Executive Committee
will meet tonight to take action cOntin-
gent upon the fate of the redistricting bill.
