WICKED NASHVILLE.

A Committee of Citizens IN be AD-
polluted 10 Confer with Otay and
County Authorities.
Nashville Banner, 3D.
The meeting OF citizens, held in the
Olympic Theater last night for the pur-
pose Of taking some steps relative to the
suppression Of crime and the prevention
from corruption of the morals of the
young, in this city, was we'll attended.
Judge James Whitworth presided, and
Hugh Carroll acted as secretary.
John Lellyett introduced a series Of
resolutions urging the strict enforcement
Of the laws against crime by the city and
county authorities, q personal appeal to
property owners to stop renting houses
and oom to persons who would use
them for unlawful purposes; aud the 10
pointment of a committee Of twenty,
consisting of two from each ward, to ask
the authorities why the laws have not
been more rigidly enforced. The reso-
%lutions were unanimously adopted.
Addresses were delivered by John Lei.
lyett, Colonel A. S. Colyar, Judge S. A.
DuliDg, Judge John c. Ferriss and Judge
James Whitworth, and the sentiments
expressed by those gentlemen heartily
Endorsed.
Colonel Colysr said that Judge Frazier
was too lenient with criminals, and
should exchange places with Judge W.
P. Hickerson, or some one else, who
would get mad when any person fooled
with him.

A MULE.BOx EPIC.
Passengers ActtnE ~ Muie.Drfvern
Over the Neai Street RoUte

Passengers ActtnE ~ MuieD-tvera
Over the Beal street Route.
On last Tuesday evening two street.
cars met at the curve at the intersection
Of Beal and Lauderdale streets. The
cars stopped and the drivers held a lively
colloquy about exchanging cars, the out
going driver claiming that he was eati.
tied to take the incoming car for the
purpose Of getting his supper. The in.
coming driver refused to exchange and
drove on, whereupon the driver Of the
outgoing car deliberately left his car and
walked back to town. The passengers,
among whom were a number of ladies,
had a car and a mule on their hsndsan
knew not what to do with either Or both.
At last a well known physician voluu-
teered as driver, and grasping the lines
and whip, exclaimed, get up" in the
most approved Jehu style. He drove out
Lauderdale and Vance streets, stop
ping at the different crossings to let
passengers get out and putting down
brakes when short curves had to be
turned. When he reached his home on
Vance street be turned over the old mule
and mule'box to a passenger who was
going out to the end Of the track and the
latter gentleman drove on. What be-
came Of the mule and box we know not,
but both were abandoned like a wreck at
the t~urn-table. The street car monopoly
should furnish drivers-cast.iron drivers
if necessary-to whom supper is a mat
ter of no consequence, or if the company
desires the passengers to do the driving
no fare ought to be charged. A passenger
could be reconciled to doing his WI
driving provided the General Council
will compel the street car company to
repair the tracks and for two feet outside
the tracks, in accordance with its char
ter and contract with the city.

Instead of exhibiting him leaning on

itol at Columbus shows that singular can
didate in the act of holding a newspa-
per. HE has just lowered the newspa-

to be General Fitzpatrick.
Moncure D. Conway has turned lie
mailer, and is working for himself. He
has lately found it necessary to come out

the Queens drawingroom and, inslead

and would rejoice if every throne and

has been guilty Of bad and naughty acts
entirely inconsistent with the usages and
customs Of married life.
Sellers Of stoves, cleaners Of stoves,
makers Of stoVe-pipe, coal dealers and
glaciers were pleased at the late cold
spell Of weather. 1T is an i'll wind that
blows nobody good" said Sancbo PaHzs,
the redoubtable and philosophyloving
squire Of Don Quixotte, the famous
knight Of LaMancha, whose history by
the great Cervantes has delighted several
generations Of Americans, as we'll as
Europeans, the history having been
translated from the Spanish into almost
all modern languages.
Owing probably to the Indictment
weather and no pay, a quorum Of mem
bers did not appear at the Common
Council meeting last night, as but nine
Councilmen were present. Councilman
Donovan was made chairman, and al
adjournment was had over to this even
ing. In the Aldermanic Board a quo
rum was present, ready to commence
working on the monthly business, which
is most pressing and important. Indeed
the repeated sdjournments bsd Of lat
have been owing to the absence Of Coun
cilmen and not Aldermen. If member
Of the General Council cannot spar
time to attend to city matters, they eoul,
couscientiously and consistently resigl
and give their places to those who woul,
make the little sacrifice.

GEORGIA MINsTRELs Tonight Cal
lendar's famous Georgia MinstrelS will
open up an engagement at the Memphis
Theater. The troupe has been filed up
with new people, and numbers of new
acts and songs have been added. A late
Nashville paper has the following to say
as to the troupe: "Callender's Georgia
Minstrels gave an enjoyable entertain
ment last night At the Masonic Theater
to a large audience. The gallery was
thoroughly tested, as the largest crowd
that aver crammed into it was present,
the colored troops largely predemin-
ating. Billy Kersands is 6rst-class.
Height can't be beaten on his best steps,
and the troupe, taken altogether, is
good"
The TRoUBADoURs Next Monday
night the regular dramatic season will be
opened at the thOater by Salisbury
Troubadours, or the American VokeF,
The troupe has been materially strength
ened since its last appearance in this
city, and many new plays have beer
added to the repertoire.

The Lnte Froat-Its Enaesa.

The Vicksburg Herald. of the 30, con-
tains the following on the subject Of frost
and cotton:
Quite q number Of persons from the
country, planters and others, informed
US that the cotton was killed even to the
uplands, and in the bottoms all sorts Of
vegetation was killed. The cotton leaves
turned black and shriveled up as soon as
the sun appeared. AS this killing frost
appeared eighteen days earlier than last
year, and very much esrlier than the
average time Of its appearance, the esti-
mates Of the cotton crop will have to be
lessened very materially. If e frost
comes one day earlier than the usual
time, it Injuries the cotton crop some,
and for it TO come with such disastrous
effect, nearly three weeks earlier than it
is due in this latitude, is equivalent TO q
shortening the cotton crop by ct least
fifteen per cent AS the prospect was
not at all iattering for an average crop
before the early frost, we must put this
year down for q short crop Of cotton.
