CAPITOL NOTES.

Nashville American. 3Oth.l
Mr.. Maccabe's bill to prohibit spec
ulation in witness and other court
fees, which passed the senate yester-
day, and which has gone to the gov
ernor for his approval, is a measure in
the interest Of needed reform, 1t
will put a stop to a corrupt practice,
of every day experience in our courts,
and largely tend to the better and
purer administration of justice there.
Mr.. Maccabe's bill is one of many
salutary measures enacted by the pres
ent general assembly for which the
public, notwithstanding all the grum-
bling that may have been INDUCED in,
will, in time, give due credit.
Fully three hundred acts will have
become laws by Monday next, many of
them of considerable interest and i'm
p%ortance to the people Of Tennessee.
The house continued in session last
night until half-past Z o'clock.
A few members, tired of legislative
work, left for home last evening.
Thore is so much uncomplcted bus
mess on hand that the legislature will
probably be in session all day tO-mor-
row.
Senate bill, as amended by the
house, to settle the State debt at fifty
cents and four per cent. interest, will
be engrossed tomorrow and sent to
the governor for his signature. II
provides that the proposition must
first be submitted to the creditors for
their approval, and then to the people
for their ratification.

Mississippi and Tennessee railroad,

last night. The company possess
much fine musical talent, and gave
satisfaction here, though more variety
would have drawn finer houses on one
or two occasions when the audiences
we're not large. The railroad agents
about the hour of departure, on Sat
urday, had a time of it getting the
rollicking, feather headed girls of the
troupe off on their journey southwark.

The chamber Of commerce is to be
convened this afternoon to discuss the
river mail service and its proposed

Our merchants are inclined to let we'll
enough alone, and be satisfied with
what they now enjoy.
A number Of persons have had their
minds put in a tangle by the recent
steamboat sale, whereby the mail car
rying packets plying from here down
the river have shufled out Of sight, as
it were. Many arc the questions
asked each day Of those who are sus-
pected of being able to partially solve
the momentous problem. A few days
more and light will develop. The
public should be patient.
Mr.. John johnson was appointed a
member of the Tennessee State board
of health, by the governor, on Friday
last, and in company with DR.. Maury,
of the same board, will leave this
evening for Nashville, to be present at
the first sitting tomorrow. The posi-
ton is worth $40 per day and expenses
while on actual duty. Mr.. johnson
is a strong advocate of a National
quarantine, and will use such infu-
ence as he can to perfect the quaran-
tine system.

Peace and quietness prevailed
throughout the city yesterday, and the
Sabbath day was observed with mutual
esteem and respect by all creeds and
denominations, considering the widely
different up-bringing and tempera-
ment Of the many races and %natiOnali-
ties that compose our population. The

mechanical formality we're enabled to
visit the suburban resorts where wine
and wassail could be INDUCED in with
impunity, while those who adhere to
the strict exactments of sectarian
rules could worship God according to
their own forms in the churches of
the city. The ice cream and soda
saloons were all open and afforded a
chance for visitors to recrcate them
selves where unable to go out to sub

nue.. The house was totally destroyed.
A policy of $500 in the Bluff City

aue is said to be the cause of the con-
~Aagration. Mr.. j. j. Slower occupied
the premises, having moved into the
same only a few days since. About
$500 worth Of his furniture was
burned and no insurance covered the
same, Mr.. Slower having failed to
transfer his policy from the house he
formerly lived in.
A fire occurred in Chelsea, near the
brick church, at 3 am. Sunday
morning, destroying a frame cottage
belonging to Mr.. A. j. Knapp. A
