The opening address was made by Mr..

The Democratic nominee for the State
Treasurer, spoke for some time on the
financial policy Of the State, and his pro.
posed line Of conduct should he be elected
10 that Office.
Senator Wallace was then introduced,
and devoted himself exclusively to dis.
cussion and explanation Of the financial
questions Of the day, claiming that re-
sumption ofspecie payment, without pre-.
paratiOn, would only have the effect OF
causing Wholesale and widespread bank.

stance Of the effect Of forced rosump.
ton, the condition Of the industrial,
agricultural and commercial classes Of
Great Britain during the ten years fol-
lowing the close Of the French war in

the way to reach resumption and the
liquidation Of the public debt was to
build up the prostratcd industries OF the
country by providing the people with
currency sufficient to meet the demands
Of business, by the re.establshment Of
confidence in commercial circles, and the
postponenent Of resumption until the
condition Of the country will warrant 1t.

Particulars OF the House Murder.

NASHVILLE, October 81. - An un-
fortunate encounter took place this morn
ing on the Public Square at franklin,
Tenn, which resulted in the killing OF
Col. John l., House, and dangerously
wounding his son VIM. House. Col.
House and o. +. Griffin, a police.
man, had personal alteration in
saloon last night, which resulted in
Griffin knocking Col. House down. Here
the matter ended until this morning, when
the parties again meeting some high
words were used, butnO blows passed be-
tween them. They separated, House going
towards a store where his son was EN-.
plOyed, near which he met another party
aud became involved in a dispute, using
language which Griffin considered not
suitable to the time and place. Griffin
approached House and placed him under
arrest. Wm. House stepped to the front
OF the store and seeing Griffin with one
hand on his fathers collar and drawn
revolver in the other, supPosing they
were involved in personal dispute,
stepped into the street with his
hand beside him. Griffin asked him
il he had drawn a pistol on him.
he answered no. Colonel House re-
marked that he would draw one, and
proceeded to do so, whereupon Griffin
fired at him, and then turned and shot his
son, who had drawn his pistol. An in
firing was then begun be-
tween Griffin, Colonel House and Will
liam Allison, who had hitherto bOen a
spectator and who sided with Griffin,
Griffin fired six shots, five at House and
one ut his son. Allison, who was stand
ing apart, fred twice. Colonel House was
killed instantly, II is thought that his
son cannot recover. Allison ia a mem-
Der Of the NJ. Z. Church, and was recent

Potatoes Extraordinary Down nj
NlOundBVille.

tFfom the RCpotter
We are informed that Mr.. James Alex.
ander, residing at the lower end Of town,
has been experimenting some little
In the propagation Of potatoes. On
the 10Th Of April last he cut
an Early Rose potato into four
parts and planted two Of the pieces IN a
box about one foot square which was filled
with soil. When the vines made their ap.
peatanCe through tho soil he applied a
certain substance used in propagating, and
they grew very rapidly and soon blossom.
cd. The fertilizer was applied several
different times with marked effect, and one
Of the potato stalks bloomed for the fith
time. Mr.. Alexander measured the
largest stem one day this week and found
thai II had grown to the immense length
OF eleven feet and two inches. II was
trained up TO a stake. lie obtained a
baslniul OF potatoes that did not tesetn-
bic the ones planted in Tie least, and
seemed 10 be an entirely different variety
Of potato. We never heard Of such a
thing before, and this little experiment
Of Mr.. Alexander's may develop some.
thing new in the cultivation Of potatoes.
The potatoes and the stalk referred to
can be seen at bis residence by those who
wish to see them.
