From lhe French.]

From the French.l
While the tottering ruiDs Of the old
opera house we're yet standing, a curious
Yankee climbed upon the wall to obtain
a better view. There was q rumble and
tremendous crash. and when the dust
cleared away the Yankee was observed
standing on a fragment Of the wall that
had miraculously remained mistaken.
1t was just large enough to affosd him
footing, and was forty feet from the
ground. A police officer runs up and
interrogates the unfortunate man, who
using his hands as a speaking trumpet,
explains
"Well," says the officer, "you have
clearly violated the law, but as you didn't
mean any harm | sball take no notice oil
the infraction. Only move on, and
don't attract a crowd"

A Caucus the cheapest and Rest

Upton County Record.l
On the first Monday IN January next
the General Assembly Of the State con-
venes at Nashville. IL we are not very
much mistaken 10 the character of a ma
jority Of the members Of that body from
this section, they propose to work early
and late for the very best interests OF the
State at large. Parliamentary f~ustain,
'Grampian Hill" rhetoric and Chinese
jugglery will not be tolerated. We have
expressed our preference for United
States Senator, but il there is one thing
in existence or out OF it that would
prompt us to a change it would be a
REPETITION of the unseemly wrsngling
and inexcusable waste Of time and money
which characterized the first portion Of
the last session Of the General Assembly.
Could not the members Of that body
meet in caucus and in q spirit Of comfy,
concession and perfect fairness, having
the welfare OF our people alone in view
settle the question Of United States Sen.
ator2 Could not the two houses dispose
of much Of their separate preliminary
business in the same way, SO as to clear
the decks foT the more serio1s question
Of What must we do to be saVed2'

Portsr has made another unexpected
raise. Those who have coupons can
send them on, bat they may not get any

ages our State affairs can perhaps tell if
he will. We will owe on the lst of jan

No GNE will be surprised to learn that
the Florida Canvassing Board refuses to
obey the order Of the Supreme Court to
the votes. The call Of Mr..
McLin, one Of the members and Secre-
tary Of State, was diIregarded yesterday
by the other members, and recalled by
him. He doubtless saw Governor stecrns
again and heard from the hatio7rt TX
e~cutive Committee. At all ever, he
changed his mind. Attorney General
Cooke, the only decent man On the
Board, although q Republican, has re
spect enough for himself and the laws Of
the land to proceed with the count ant
file the result in the Clerks Office, as or
dered by the Court. This may not make
Drew Governor, but it will show 10 the
world that the most villainous means
have been employed to defeat the will o
the people in Florida. The action of th'
Court aud Of Attorney General Cooke
will stand out in singular contrast witt
the course Of Southern Republicans gen
orally in the three PROSTATE States. TIT
public has come to look upon tkem as
class as a set Of unmitigated scouudrels
and even those who astter aud use then
now will have no respect for them whel
this occasion has passed by. tx Altos
ney General Williams arrived at ITALIA
hassee yesterday morning, and the Boar
stifened up to lis work. We have littl
to hope from the Florida affair. It is
msrs ripple, which will subside in a da
or Two, aud be heard Of no more unit
discussed in Congress.
