The redistricting bill was taken up and
the amendment which was adopted by the
Board of Common Council Thursday night
was read.
Aid. McGayock (Ald. Ryman in the
chair) said that from comforting with the
other members Of the Board he was in
clined to believe that the Board Of Alder
men would adopt the amendment. He
would vote for it but would do so decid-
eddy under protest and with very great re-
luclance. If he thought it would avail
anything be would ask for the appoint
ment ola committee Of conference, but the
friends and the opponents Of the measure
in the other board were so firmly fixed that
such an action would be supreme folly, and
he presumed that there was nothing left
but to leur in the amendment.
The amendment was adopted and the
Board then adjourned.

A Party Hyithout a Futurs.

The County Republican Executive Com
mittee failed 10 hold meeting yesterday,
in pursuance to the call of the chairman.
There weres only six or seven persons
present, while the committee is composed
Of twenty-five members.
In a conversation with the chairman of
the committee, W. c. Shelley, we ascer-
tanned that the committee had been called
five times, and but once had a quorum.
The chairman expressed himself very freely
in regard TO his object in calling such
meetings, and said that his only design
was TO organize and purify the Republican
party. For years it had been resorting to
all sorts Of subterfuge and schemes for
power, but had always, and deservingly,
failed. 1t had been nominating Demo-
Gratis and running Independents, and pros
tituting the principles it professed to hold
sacred, until the respectable element in it
had been disguised and disafiected.
He had hoped to see the party placed on
a firm, sound, tenable basis Of principle.
The nOn-actiOn of the committee had de-
stroyed that prospect, and he now saw for
the party, so far as Nashville is concerned,
no future.

and on examining it, saw the merchants
