colored. people without passing this
BILL? The passage Of any measure
that will be considered as directed
against a particular race would be
most impolitic.
Mr.. Youmans-Within the last
ninety days men have barely escaped
with their lives, out of buildings set
on fire.: by 3,incendiaries, and, while
before the war var. we raised our own ba-
con and had plenty Of milk and but
ter, now we have TO do without them
or send off to other parts OF the
world to get them.
g Mr.: Hamilton-I know that the
majority of crimes committed in this
State are committed by colored men.
But they were encouraged not only
by the chief executive Of the State,
but by the President of the United
States; to commit them, to dc. any
thing in; order to- accomplish thetc'
political purposes. But those tnsn-
are nowout:oe Office. and there IS no
a law as The radical Republicans
want you to pass, because it would
look like you\ were jeopardizing the
rights of the laboring classes.
Mr.. Aldrich-All the bill does now
under the amendments recommended
by the committee is to make burglary,
arson and rape capital felonies. And
l think that men who commit those
crimes are unfit to-live.
The vote on the striking out the
enacting clause was As ayes, 4S noes.

The ChanceIIOrShip.

We regret to learn, and we think
that the whole bar regrets to learn
that Chancellor Lurton has an
nounced his intention of resigning
his position some time this winter.
1t is vacancy easier made than sup
piled, for the slender remuneration
paid to judges renders it very diff
cult to secure first rate ability on the
bench. We learn however, that
there are several candidates in the
field for the office when vacant /;
among these our attention has been
directed to the candidacy of Capt.
Andrew B. Martin, of Lebanon
Tenn, of. whose abilities as a lawyer
and qualities as a gentleman, we
have the highest assurance from
friends whose Judgment is much
more reliable in such matters than
our own. We take no partisan
position in the matter, and will only
say that if the successful candidate
fills the position with anything like
the ability of the present incumbent,
he will leave us nothing to desire /;
but he must get up very early in the
morning to do that.

Ice Cream.

The ladies of the Episcopal church
give one of their elegant ice cream
and conversation parties, at Mrs.
Stacker's on Thursday next, the
23rd inst, from six to eleven p. NJ.
There is no residence in GAINESVILLE
which furnishes better facilities for
party of this sort, as that of Mrs.
Stacker, and we do not doubt that
young GAINESVILLE and his sweet
heart will be there in full force.
In consideration of the waning
summer, coffee and sandwiches will
be added to the ice cream and cake
usually furnished.

State Teachers, Institute.

We earnestly hope that the sub
ject of education in Tennessee, will
receive the attention that its trans
scendent importance demands, dur
ing the session of the Teachers In
stitute in this place next week. The
exercises commence next Wednes-
day, and continue through the two
following days, at the Female Acad-
envy addresses on topics relating to
education will be given by Prof.
Joynes, of Vanderbilt, University,
Prof. James E. Scoby, of Murfrees-
boro, the Hon. James E. Bailey,
United States Senator, the Hon.
John F. House, M. c., President
J. B. Shearer, and Prof. James
Dinwiddie, of the Southwestern
University, the Hon. Thomas ].
Freeman, Judge of Supreme Court,
Prof. j. III. Hamilton, of Nashville,
Prof. James A. Tate, of Hampton's
Station, and others.
The whole is organized under the
auspices of Col. Leon Trousdale, the
State Superintendent of Public In
structiOn, whose valuable efforts in
behalf of public schools in Tennes-
see cannot be over-estimated.
The more weighty business of the
meeting will be relieved by singing
of high character, executed by
volunteer choir composed of all the
best amateurs in GAINESVILLE. A
large delegation from Nashville will
be here and from other parts of the
State, who will be entertained hos
pitably by our citizens. We pro-
pose to return the visit next week
when the Scientific Association sits
in Nashville.

Louisville Industrial Exposition.

Louisville Industrial Exposition.
We have to acknowledge the po-
likeness of the secretary in enclosing
us a complimentary ticket to this
very attractive exhibition, and hope
to avail ourselves of his courtesy.
Those of our citizens who have in
former seasons visited the Louisville
exposition, and their name is legion,
do not need our counsel to go again,
and those who have not will do well
to begin now. AS a proof that the
managers have not slackened in
their efforts to give this exposition
a place in the first rank of such en-
terprises, we subjoin their prospectus
for the present year:
Louisville opens her Fifth Indus
trial Exposition on the 4th of Sep
TENDER, and continues it until the
10th of October. We are informed
that the coming exposition will far
exceed any of those of former years in
variety, attraction, and pleasure.
During last year agents of tbs Louis
vile Exposition visited the Centen-
NAL and secured there many contri-
buttons for the coming Fall EXPOSE
ton. The railroad and steamboat
lines leading into Louisville will
materially reduce their rates during
the exposition, and thus place it
within the reach of every one to
visit Louisville during this most de-
lightful season. The exposition Of
fers a brilliant, instructive, and ever
entertaining feature to all classes.
All the inventions Of master minds
which have been adopted by practls
cal men, novelties in machinery of
every character, vast quantities of
rare natural products, the work of
skilled hands in various branches of
art and mechanism, all combined,
make combination that can not
fail to attract every one.
The art department Is said to be
especially rich in the works of our
best masters, and will present finer
collection of American art than was
exhibited at the Centennial. Con-
slant Mayors masterpiece, "The
SunS VI titp Pll4lty Will dlOIlS IIdhC
the exposition worthy Of q visit, and
grouped around it will be found the
works Of all the greatest American
artists.
The natural history department
will contain this year the contribu-
tiOns of some of the most valuable
museums in the country.
Some novel entertainments never
before exhibited In the United States
will add to the pleasure of this grand
exposition Of art, science, machin-
cry, and manufactures.
The natural beauty of Louisville
at this season of the year, the excel
lence of her hotels, and the cheap
rate of transportation, will make a
trip to the exposition both desirable,
pleasant, and profitable"

AT dinner given at GOOdletts-
vile, near Nashville, the other day,
at which three thousand persons
were present, Governor Porter, made
a speech, in the course of which he
said that
Tennesseeans should be cOntented
with Tennessee. This was the les
son for them to teach their sons and
daughters. They should remain at
home. There is no land on earth
more inviting to the reSOlute, indus
triOus man. Her laws were equal,
and the humbleSt of her citizens
could demand their protection with
the most perfect confidence; her eli
mate was unsurpassed; her soil was
fertile; her productions abundant
and varied, and nowhere was mere
living so easily made If educa-
tional advantages were wanted,
Tennessee afforded the highest adj
vantages in science, in letters, in
law, in theology, in mechanics, in
agricultural, and in medicine, and
furnished one of the most beneficent
and paternal governments now in
existence.

Clerk and Treasurer


1t is only two weeks since we
pointed out the deplorable preva-
Ience of the Juvenile crime in our
great cities, and urged the necessity
of some Legislative procedure to
meet the evil. 1t came rather
as a surprise upon us this week
to meet with similar case in
our own little town. A youth
about sixteen years of age was
brought before the recorders court
ON a charge of obtaining whiskey
under false pretenses. The follow
are the circumstances
The youth went to McCauley's
drug store and represented himself
to be -- Ga boy of highly
respectable family and said that he
was sent by DIR. Larkin for pint
of whiskey. He had got pint a
few days before under the same
name, DIR. McCauley not knowing
the youth whom he persOnated but
this time it was Geo. McCurdy, DIR.
MS clerk, who was applied to, who
knew ----W well. McCurdy
had given him the whiskey before
he stated who he was, suppOsing he
was going to pay for it, and on his
giving the false name was going to
detain him, but had to wait on an
other customer and the boy got off /;
he was soon arrested and it was
found that he had committed other
depredations under the same name.
The recorder held him to bail for
$500 and the matter rests there for
the present.
We withhold the name of the boy
whom he persOnated, though there
is no reason for suppOsing that there
was any real association between
him and the prisoner.
The thing to be most lamented in
such cases is that we have no pro-
vision for dealing with such cases !;
the penitentiary is no place for boys
like that, they cannot be allowed to
go loose, and we have no where else
to send them. Is there no remedy?
