CITY I'OLITICs.

Nashvile's experience, in a corporate
capacity, since the war, sufices to i'm
press on all good citizens the impor-
lance and necessity of looking after
their municipal interests, as well as the
evil results that attend neglect. The
election of next month acquires double
Importance from the fact that, under
the new Law, the Mayor and half che
council will hold Office for two years
double the term heretofore.
Experience has also demonstrated
that our citizens must combine, if they
would control their own affairs. In the
mingled population'of a large city, it
is seldom that any one man, however
excellent his character, possesses suf-
fcient acquaintance and popularity to
achieve success, without the assistance
of organized support. The elections
of the past ten years prove two facts.
One is that, by systematic cooperation,
the honest citizens of Nashville can
render certain the election OF good Off
GERS. The other fact is that, without
such cooperation, they cannot. For
these reasons we hope the call from
the Democratic Executive Committee
this morning, viii meet a ready and
effective response from all.
As the coming election marks the
transition from the.oid one-year system
to the new one of two-year terms, with
half the aldermen and councilmen
elected in alternate years, we give
below the section OF the law passed by
the last Legislature, bearing on this
matter:
Section 5. Be 1t further enacted,
That at the next general election after
the passage of this act, one half Of the
councilmen shall be elected for one
year and the other half for two years;
and in the wards designated by odd
numbers, the aldermen shall be elected
for two years, and IN the wards desig-
mated by even numbers they shall be
elected for one year; and annually
thereafter the aldermen and council
men elected 20 fill the expired terms
shall be elected for two years; 1t being
the In tentiOn that one-half the number
Of couneilmen and aldermen shall be
elected annually, and to serve for two
years"

Rich Discoveries OF the Precious Ore.
ST. PAUL, Aug 1S.-A Pioneer special
from Bismarck to-day, says adyiceS from
the Bismarck Black Hills party received,
note their arrival. The Indians attacked
the party near Bears Butte. No lives lost.
The roads were splendid. They report
gold in large quantities found in French
and other gullies; also gOld-beaTing quartz
in large quantities. Hundreds Of miners
were pouring in. The miners were ordered
nv Gen. Cook TO meet at the stOckade at
Clusters Gulch, August 10, TO
make laws for the regulation Of claim
tal,ipe: the miners TO leave the hills until
a tr.aty is made with the Indians. The
Indians won't treat until ali the miners de-
mart. MANY will return via Bismarck. 1t
Is conceded to be tue best route to and
from the bills. Great excitement exists
ana all gold bearing lands yet discovered
have been staked, and claimed. Fifteen
miles of French's gulch have been taken,
and large parties are at work on all the
streams. A nugget was taken from Gus
ter's gulch weighing eighteen dollars.
Thirty to fifty dollars per day have oeen
taken from that gulch. Prof. Jenny found
one nugget Of thirty-six dollars. Implicit
confidence of our citizens is placed in these
statements anu reports made By Bismarck
citizens.

Capture Of Two Of the Franklin County
III Band.
DUQUoIN, Ill, Aug. 1S.-The latest
news from the seat Of war in Franklin
county, was brought in by a hack-driYer,
who arrived here from Benton This after
noon. Two arrests had been made since
the fight of night before last. The names
of the parties arrested are Green Cantrell
and Aaron Nett. Both men live in Frank
lin county, in the vicinity Of Benton. Sus-
piciOn was first aroused which led TO the
arrest Of Cantrell by attention being at
tracted by parties going TO and from his
house carrying ice, and by seeing the doctor
visit his residence. These facts were
made known TO some officials, who
upon entering his house found Can
trell in bed, seriously wounded.
The wounds, no doubt, are the fruits of his
last encounter with Sheriff. Neil is rather
an UnimpOrlant member Of the Ku-kluX
band. Cantrell is supposed to be an &C
tive Ku-kluX, and member of some i'm
pOrtance. His arrest is the cause of much
excitement, as no one ever thought Of him
as being connected with these white-robed
gentlemen. Great excitement still pre-
walls in and around Benton. The Sheriff
is still in close pursuit Of the remainder Of
the band, and hopes are entertained that he
will succeed in capturing and bringing
them all to justice.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-A Journal special
from Whitehall, Mich, says arrangements
have been made for the disinterment Of
GrimwOOd's body, and for forwarding it to
Chicago, so that it will arrive tomorrow
morning. Notes and papers will also be
sent for publication. The towns along the
east shore are much interested in the mat
ter, and are sending out parties to search
for DonaldsOn's body, which it is expected
will drift ashore near the point where
GrimwOOd's body was found. A fOater is
said to have been seen Off the shore north
of this place, and other rumOrs are current
that the balloon has been seen on the lake,
but they are doubtless without foundation.

In exercise of the power conferred
on him by the Constitution, Gov. POr-
ter has appointed Hon. David McKen-
dree Key, Of Hamilton county, Senator
in place of the late Andrew johnson.
While endeavoring to keep the people
Informed Of the various movements on
foot during the past few weeks IN favor
of numerous aspirants, we have re-
Trained from the expression Of any
preferences we might have, centent to
leave the appointment and the responsi-
biIitvwhere the Constitution prescribed.
AS the appointment is only pro tenn
Dore, it calls for little of extended COM
ment or criticism. Through their
chosen representatives in the next Leg
islative session, the people will be re-
quired to name the person who shall fill
out the unexpired term Of the deceased
ex-President.
For Judge Key we can say, however,
that he IS a gentleman without reprOach,
who viii never occasion discredit TO his
State IN the Senate or elsewhere. Of
unobtrusive but dignified department,
quiet in demeanor, but firm IN purpose,
decided in his opinions, possessed Of
rare abilities, and thoroughly Demo-
cratic in his views, be viii appreciate
his position and devote his talents to
the interests Of the whole State and its
entire people.
Curiously enough, Judge Key was
born in Greene county, the lifelong
residence Of his illustrious predecessor.
His father was a Methodist minister,
and his second given name was confer
red in honor of the veneratei Bishop
McKendree. He was reared In Mon
roe county, East Tennessee, and after
reading law located in Chattanooga in
1852. Previous to the war he was
Democratic Congressional Elector, and
in 1872 was the Democratic
nominee for Congress in his
district, but was defeated in the gen.
eraI rout Of that year by William
Crutchfeld. During the war he took
an active part on the Confederate side,
being Lieutenant Colonel of Col Gil
Iespie's East Tennessee regiment. In
1870 he was a fellow member with
Gov. Porter, Of the constitu-
tionaI convention, bearing a
conspicuous part in its public
discussions and more important COM
znittee work. Judge Key has, we be-
Heve, never participated in any other
parliamentary assemblage. A lawyer
of decided ability, he was elected chan
oellor by the people of his district at
the last election, from which position
he Is now invitedto step into the Senate
of States. His ageis about fifty years
