An IsraeItte,s Protest.

To the Union and American:
Israel Myer, an INDECENT and infrm
I~sraelite Of this city, who has been con-
fined to his bed for several months, a short
time since petitiOned the City Council to
allow him to hawk and peddle without
license, a privilege which has always here
tOfOre been accorded TO persons in distitute
circumstances. The petition passed the
Common Council last week, and came be-
fore the Board Of Aldermen on last night
for their action. While the petition was
under consideration, Alderman Walter 5.
BranSfOTd, from the Second Ward, arose
and asked if the petitioner was a Jew;
and, on being informed that he was, said
that he was opposed to granting the petit
ton, and the petition was GisallOWed.
u may be that the remarks Of Alderman
BransfOrd did not influence the action Of
the Board, and that they disallowed il pos
sibly on the ground of economy, but no
such excuse can be offered for Mr.. Brans-
ford. Tie Jews Of the second ward aided
in his election, and he will no doubt seek
their support at the next municipal election,
and he will be elected-tO re-
that the Jews are not beggars; that they
support their own poor, and all that Mr..
Myer asked was 10 be allowed to sell a few
small articles 50 that he might not become
a burden TO the community. The Board
Of Aldermen should certainly have granted
The petition. We hold it is the duty of all
fair-minded persons, of whatever religious
peTsUaSiOnS, to trOWn upon all such acts of
intolerance. a JEW.

ADJUSTMENTS.

No dramatic entertainment ia Nashville
since the war has given more complete SIT
isfaction than that Of the comedy Of "Self,'
last night, by Mr.. JnO. E Owens and his
admirably selected company. The au-
dience was large and very demonstrative,
and the salient points Of the play were re-
ceived in a manner that must hsvs been
appreciated by the artists concerned. The
play is in itself both interesting and dra-
matte; but the acting Of the widely differ
ent characters was so fOrcible and marked
that a less ]mertOriOus composition would
have passed current in such talented hands.
As the retired banker, John Unit, Mr..
Owens has, if possible, surpassed even his
former excellence as "Caleb Hummer" and
"SolOn Single" The old man of sixty
eight winters, on the "dOWn hill Of life
is a creation entirely differing from
either Of the above characters, and it is
really a matter Of wonder that the artist
should succeed to such a great extent in
depicting the idiOsyncracies Of age so faith
fully in such a range Of characters without
giving the least similarity. No popularity
Of Units reminds US Of either the yankee
teamster" or the "tOy maker Il was the
universal expression that the Opera House
would not be found large enough il the
comedian could be induced TO repeat the
character; but his engagements preclude
the possibility, and it IS doubtful il he
will appear again in Nashville for some
time.
The supporting cast in "Self' was in
every respect most excellent. The com
pany travelling with Mr.. Ovens is composed
Of the highest order OF talent, and reflects
great credit upon bis judgment and,
above all, to his liberality. The custom
has been for stars to be surrounded with
such a cNmpany as will sserve their pur-
pose and are selected with a view to cheap
ness, not talent. With Mr.. Owen the
course pursued has been the reverse. It is
evidently his wish the performance should
be every way satisfactory and enjoyable.
Every character in "Self1 was rendered in
an artistic manner. The ~stepdaughter,
Mary, was most truthfully, and, indeed,
naturally acted by Miss May Sherwood.
Apart from John Unit, most Of the interest
Of the play centres in this childlike charac-
ter, and Miss Sherwood succeeded in in
vesting it with a sweetness and interest
that gave a natural cOloring to the entire
effect Of the play. All the other characters
were artistically portrayed.
Mr.. Owens will appear in Chattanooga to-
night; thence to Atlanta, Savannah, and
along the Southern coast.

Money Orders.

1t is not perhaps known 10 most people
that there has been a change made i'm ihe
money order rates, which is to take effect
on the Ist of July. Il is claimed that by
the present low rates the money order de
partment has lost large sums of money an
nualIy. Five cents only has been charged
for sums not less than $40, which includes
about seven-eighths Of the orders issued.
by this rate the department, it is calcula
ted, has been conducted at IN annual loss
OF 100000. The new law fixes the rate al
ten cents for any sgm mp TO fifteen dollars.
fifteen cents for sums from fifteen dollars
90 thirty dollars twenty cents for sums
from thirty TO forty dollars, and twenty-five
cents for sums above forty dollars and not
exceeding fifty dollars. Il is expected that
these rates will increase the revenue from
this source 30 the same extent that &c has
been heretofore decreased.

About a month ago Mr.. James Boyd,
who lives near seven miles ont on the
Hillsb0rO pike, lost a valuable mare under
very singular circumstances. He had
turned her ont in a field back Of the stable
one morning, and al night when he came
to look for her, she ha3 disappeared
Strayed OF stolen was the natural conclu-
sion, but a months search, high and low,
far and near, with advertisements circula-
ted throughout the country, offering a re-
ward Of SO for her recovery, left the cause
of her whereabouts still in mystery. A
day or two ago Mr.. BOyd turned a mule
loose in the same field from Whlchthe mare
had disappeared. The mule had not pro-
ceeded more than ten yards when it COM
menced snoring f~uTi0usly, and upon hir.
Boyd proceeding to the spot, he was greatly
surprised al the sight q his lost mare lying
dead in a cave ten feet under ground. The
field had never been cultivated. was almost
a solid bed Of rock, in no place with appa-
reutly more than a foot of earth covering
the rock, ard Mr. BOYD had lived on the
place > years without suspecting the exis-
lence Of such a cavity,

John Oyerstreet and Sallie McCabe, the
former in Jail on the charge o. receiving
stolen goods, and thelatte- on the charge Of
stealing a gold watchand chain andthirteef
dollars from the LOUisianian, Wesley
Harris, were taken before Justice Baskette
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning for trial.
Overstreet evidently did not relish the con-
-spicuOusness Of his position, as he
glanced around the room at the
spectators, and sullenly remarked, "there's
an awful sight Of snOOZers about
here" The preliminary examination re-
suited in the accused being -recOmmitted to
jail for trial before the Criminal Court.
When on the point Of leaving for Hugh
HeTerin's the amount Of "cheek" that
0verstreet exhibited was simply wonderful.
Going up 10 the prosecutor inthe case, gen.

glancing at Sallie McCaOe, he said, "LOok
