Democratic at the late municipal
election, by great majority, for the
first time in eighteen years.
The LAST SESSION OF CONGRESS
WHAT IT ACCo1IpL1sHEp.-The last
Session of the Forty Third Congress,
expired by Constitutional limitation
on the night of the 3rd inst
When asked the question as to what
important results have been accom-
plished by this Congress, members
almost invariably say they are at Il
loss for satisfactory reply. 10 be
sure they say Congress has tempered
with the Currency and Tariff and
Revenue laws, but the measures adopt
ed are not only unsatisfactory but gen
orally impotent, impracticable or in,
efficient. The bill to provide for the
resumption ofspecie payments is crit
icized as q measure which, if executed,
will leave the country where it was in
1862, with postage stamps for curren-
cy, while the Civil Rights bill will
probably be declared unconstitutional
None Of the important transportation
or internal Improvement plans have
been acted upon while the Force
bill and similar propositions were de-
feated more because Of the Hardness
in maturing them than from any other
cause Pinchback was not admitted
to the Senate, and the contested cleo
ton cases in the House were left I'M
til the last moments of the session,
when. in one instance, the contestant
(Sheridan) was admitted, in accord
ance with the Recommendation Of the
Committee on Elections, and, i'll an
other instance, Sypher was unseated,
after having served and drawn pay for
the full term. The Bounty bill has
been passed, which provides for the
payment during three years of an az
gregate amounting to from one hun.
dred million to one hundred and TWEEN
ty or thirty million dollars. Chief
among the acts passed at the first SEES
sion of this Congress were the follow
ing: 10 provide for the redemption
of the loan of 1858 creating a Court
for adjudication and distribution OF
the Geneva reward repeating increase
of salaries of members Of Congress
and other officers authorizing com

opportunity. This opportunity is found
at Delaware Cape, point wher" vessels
coming into Philadelphia are slgnaled
BY the Commercial agencies. When the
Havana steamer reaches this poiH., the
agent on board signals to his accomph-
ces on shore, and then throws his stock
of cigars overheard. He has employed
his time during the voyage to fasten up
the cigars in air-tight 1ndis-rubber bags,
which float upon the surface Of the wa
ter. They are afterwards picked up by
smugglers in small boats, when the
steamer has gone far enough to allow
them to work without suspicion. Re-
Gently the revenue officers captured one
of these bags out at sea, and by this
means the system Of smuggling has
bsen discovered 1t is believed that the
same system extends to all seaboard cit
les from which Havana steamers ply.

The general aggregate of business con-
tinues comparatively moderate, and the
market is showing much the same dull
tone so long prevailing. New and then
there is animation for day or two with
few houses who may happen to have a
number of customers in town together,
but the individual wants of buyers are
in most cases found to be light, and the
disposition to purchase on the hand-to-
mouth policy is unchanged. In short,
matters have resolved themselves into an
open contest between the producer and
consumer, which shows no indication OF
immediate settlement. Manufacturers
find the goods market, both present and
prospective, in the same dlScOuragIng
condition, and with fair accumulation
Of material nj the mills, are
unwilling to add thereto at current rates
EXCEPT in the way of small lots of Sc
lected GRADES for which they have special
use. Some of the manufacturers have
been making direct purchases from farm
ers. and occasionally, where little
connetition arose TO obtain certain clips,
pretty full figures were paid This UNI
doubtedly has stimulated the ideas OF
farmers somewhat, and now that the first
rush of the demand is over, the calls are
considerably reduced, while dealers have
largely abandoned the idea Of purchasing
Mt the rates demanded in the
interior, and control less Of the new
clip than usual at this season. The
California STYLES, too, have atendency to
check extreme rates on State and West
ern woods, as the supply, quality and cost
all present attractions which are not
overlooked by manufacturers. Foreign
STYLES of fine are selling moderately, but
Al unsatisfactory rates, and the tendency
of much of the stock is towards an outlet

every means to rid their grass fields OF
the pest. They drag seine fastened to
q morse rake, over their lands. and in this
way have destroyed upwards of fifty
bushels The reason that they are num-

The professions of law and medi'
cine are crowded ; the mercantile bus
mess is oyerdone; but thousands OF
acres of waste land are inviting the
active. intelligent young men of our
country to draw from them constant
ly increasing wealth. A number of
young men Of our acquaintance, al
though well educated, and having
been looking heretofore to a profess
sional or business life, have gone to
farming in earnest. All honor to
such men. We need educated, in

Attorney General Williams, oil
Knoxville, had the courage to do his
duty in the case of De Castro's dis.
tributing prizes to the ticket holders
of his entertainment.
The constitution and laws of oar
State forbid all kinds of lotteries
but heretofore travelling shows of
every description have run rough
shod over the law, and the citizens
of the State have gradually been led
into gambling in its most enticing
form. The arrest and binding over
to Court of De Castro, we hope, will
put a check to this Wholesale viola
zion of law. We also hope that 9th
er officers whose duty it is to see the
laws faithfully executed, will follow
the example of Mr.. Williams.

IN ATROCIOUS MURDER And
An OUTRAGEOUS LYNCH
ING IN NASHVILLE.

On the 80th Of April negro man,
who was cruelty beating his wife,
killed policeman Frazier when in the
act of arresting him. The murderer
attempted to escape, but in forty
minutes after the murder, was appre-
hended and put in Jail.
That night he was taken from
prison, shot twice by the mob. and sus-
pended by rope from the bridge
across the Cumberland. The rope
broke. and the negro fell into the
surging river, and at the latest adj
vice the body had not been recovered.
The murder was an unprovoked
outrage. The policeman was a man
of excellent character. and distin-
guished for firmness and GOODNESS in
the discharge Of duty but the lynch
ing was objectionable, an outrage
upon our civilization, and terrible
blow at the majesty and supremacy
Of law in Tennessee. A little firm
ness on the part of the poIica force
woufd have saved the city from dis
grace, and sustained the law in tact.
