saying lie merely rose to correct one state
ment made by the Grand Secretary in his
address. The inference from his remarks
would be thatthe Odd Fellows had only fur
nished home to the MasOns during the war,
but he could distinctly remember that the
MasOns were indebted to the Odd Fellows
for place to meet in 1855. Previous to
that the hall occupied by the Masons was
burned, and from that time till the close
Of the war the Masons were indebted to
the Odd Fellows for place to meet. The

tween these two Orders, not only in Nash

A Thousand Dollars for a COIOred
Child

On the 9Th Of November, 1872, the five
year old child Of a ColOred man named
Pegam was killed in West Nashville by
two carriage horses belonging to Hammer
Bros which were, at the time, in charge
of a cOlOTed hackman named Louis De
Moss. The driver had gone into a grocery
to get a cigar, leaving the team to be
watched by little boy, who was with him
on the front seat. The horses becoming
frightened, and the boy not being able to
manage them, leaped from the carriage
and let them run. They dashed through
a fence into the premises Of Pegram and
his child was run over and crushed to
death. Soon after the fatal occurrence,
PegTam instituted suit in the Circuit
Court against Hammer Bros. for damages
in the sum of 5000. Trial Of the cause
was continued from time to time until yes
terday, when It was finally settled and
withdrawn, a compromise satisfactory TO
both parties having been agreed TO, Han
mer Bros. consenting to pay Pegram 81 900
in cash and also to pay half the costs Of
the suit.

The County Court met, pursuant to adj.

The report Of the County Superintend.

schools fCr the year 1874, were better than
for the preceding year.
sUPERINTENDENT's SALARY.
A motion was made to decrease the sal
| airy Of the County Superintendent from
81, 200 to $1,000 a year.
Judge Duling with emphasis, made the
/ point that the salary Of the Superintendent
/ could not be inteTfered with for the present
year, as that officer had already been elect
ed. The Supreme Court had decided the
question time and again.
Justice Saunders-"Well, then, if that's
so, L move to reconsider the order cutting
down the Judges salary. The principles
the same"
A good deal Of oratorical Skirmishing
was INDUCED in, and the motion to fix the
salary at 1000 was lost by all odds.
The court then went to the needless
trouble Of fixing the salary al s., 200, or
what it was last year.
Several magistrates now simultaneously
stood up and moved a reconsideration of
the order relating to
THE JUDGES SALARY.
II was ascertained that all these movers

move a reconsideration. The struggle for
the honor Of making the motion was
sharp, and our reporter was unable to de-
terInine to whom it belonged.
The motion carried like top, and jos
tice Everett offered a resolution to allow
the Judge $3.50 a year as financial agent Of
the county, in addition TO the per diem Of
s. for actual service allowed by law, in
tending that the whole should aggregate
S2.500a year, which is the amount here
tofore received by the Judge.
The previous question was brought to
bear with all its power to cut of discus
sion, and succeeded we'll, considering the
vivacious disposition If the body.
The court then voted on Squire Ever
ett's proposition, and carried it by "A TO 10.
a motion 20 reduce the Jail Physicians

and the salary was fixed at $1,000, as here

Owing to the disagreeable weather last
night, the attendance at the ball given by
the Jackson Guards at the Rink was not so
large as it would Otherwise have been.
However, the spacious dancing hall was
comfortably filled, and everything passed
off in the most pleasant manner. The
dance was protracted till a fashionably late
hour. The supper prepared for the occa-
sion was all that could be desired. Bush's
Band furnished the music. The managers
busted themselves in seeing that every
guest had the proper attention.

faction as any former entertainment
Of this thOrOueh-goinS club. The dining
hall was deliberately festOoned, and a life
size portrait Of Gen. Jackson was placed
prominently mid the decorations. The
feast prepared for the thTong of jewellers
fully sustained the reputation Of

have reason TO be gratified with the result.
The music for the occasion was furnished
