CURRENT EVENTS.


M. Kean died at Louisville last Sat
urday. He had charge of the Maxwell
House at Nashville from 1859 to 1872,
and was well known as the prince of hotel
keepers.
-Thos. A. Kercheval, Radical, was
elected Mayor of Nashville, Last Satur-
day, over the Democratic candidate,
Spencer Eakin. Eakin is a splendid
man, and Kercheval a scurvy fellow, it is
said, which shows Nashville is a hard
place-no wonder they have, cholera.
The Democrats of Massachusetts and
New York have acted wisely in one re
spect, at least In New York they nomi-
mated John Bigelow, a Liberal Republi-
can, to head their ticket, and in Massa-
chusetts, Gen. w. F. Bartlett, of the same
complexion, for ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.
A late number of the Shelbyville
Commercial contains a correspondence
from Thompson's Greek, stating that the
Kuklux of that Creek had visited a white
man and negro, and punished them Sc
yerely. We do not know where ThOmp-
sons Creek is, but suppose it is in the
northwestern part of Bedford county, as
near as posi- lie to Salem, Rutherford
county, where the people took out ne
gro and hung him, after devOut prayers.
If these Kuklux of Thompson's Greek
were in Attorney General Fussell's dis
trict, we would have some hope that they
would be brought to punishment, but
from the average Attorney General we
may expect nothing.
The following paragraph taken from
an able article on the Expenses of 5 i
entiic Education. in the Popular Sci
eRce Monthly for Oct, contains sar-
casm, as truthful as it is pithy and punge1t:
"0f the two classes that may be taken gem
orally as most ignorant of the science of
their business, cooks and congressman,
it will cost at least ten times more, prop
erly to educate the former than the latter"
columbus DelanO, Secretary of the
Interior, has left Grants Cabinet. Pub
lie opinion drove him out. Public opin-
ion has driven out several of President
Grants one-horse cabinet appointments
and he has stumbled on good men to take
their places-notably so in the case oil
Sec. Bristow and Attorney Genera
Pierrepont. 1t is hoped that he and hi:
country will be equally fortunate in the
DelanO succession.
Nashville will have full supply o
speaking and preaching during the mex
three DAYS. On tomorrow, Saturday
the Andrew johnson memorial meetin!
will take place, when Hon. Joseph S
Fowler will pronounce a eulogium upOI
his dead friend; it will no doubt be WORT
listening to. On Sunday, Oct. Bird
Bishops Doggett and Wightman, two @
the most scholarly of the NJ. L. Bishop
viii preach the dedcatOry sermons of tn
Vanderbilt On Monday, t.4th, (Rey
A. w. Smiths birthday the formal inau
guratiOn of the Vanderbilt UniversIt
will take place. Addresses are to b
delivered by Gov. Porter, DIR. Deems, c
New York Commodore Vanderbilts Pas
tori, and Rev. DIR. A. A. Lipscomb, lat
Chancellor of the University of Georgia.
The Radicals are mOvi ng heaven an
earth to carry the election in Ohio. Tn
potent influence of the money power
seen in the vast number of orators the
are sending 70 canvass that State in tn
interest of contraction and hard money
Carl Schurz is in that State, maxim
speeches for Hayes, and thus joins hand
with the party which he has so roundl
denounced for several years past. TIL
speakers for Allen seem to be few an
far between, but We have faith that Gov
Allen will beat them after all. He
waging an unequal war against the mon
ey power. but the people are with hin

as contemplate as Morton's waving c
the bloody shirt The Democracy is n
more disposed 10 reputation than tn
South is to an determination OF the ne
groes, or another war. The New Yor
Tribune and the Cincinnati Commercial
can find no terms of ridicule and col
tempt too severe for Morton aud hi
bloody Sh It brigade and at the sam
time are guilty ot the very same spirlt-
fri Z the Northern heart by appealing t
base tear and prejudice. Every elet
ton held since the summer of 1874 ha
showed how little the people regarded tn
bloody shirt, and we believe a like resu
awaits the latest scare-crow.
