.AHuge Combination.

Louisville cor. Cincinnati Commercial.
The cause of the sudden increase
in Louisville IL Nashville railroad
stock was made apparent when it
became known that a combination
mad been formed between the Lou
isville d Nashville and the Georgia
Central railroads, to last for years.
This combination is the consumma-
ton of the grandest scheme yet
achieved by southern railroads, and
gives the Louisville d Nashville
the control of every port on the
South A ,lantlc coast, except Bruins
wick. At Savannah the railroad will
connect with lsl ge lines of steam
ers to New York and Liverpool,
and it is their calculation to carry
freight from st. Louis and the 9TH
er western cities to New York
cheaper. and as quickly, az over
the northern trunk lines. The i'm
mense cotton and tobacco crops
that are produced in the south will
by this line reach the European
market without being detain-
ed in New York, and one bill OF
lading will be issued for freight
fIom st. Louis aud Chicago to Liv
erpool. These advantages will, of
course, be doubled by the adyaD
tage OF direct importation. Mr..
Wadley, of the Georgia Central, is
now in New York, purchasing
steamships for his lines. The Lou
isville d Nashville road are working
several thousand hands at their car
shops to get sufficient rolling stock
to carry the immense traffic, and
they will soon be ready to com
mence active work. Vice President
arranged for this consld-
Grafton when he was in Atlanta two
weeks ago, and in an interview with
him be substantiated ali OF these
facts. He is very sanguine OF hav
ing as much business as the roads |
can possibly carry.

Murfreesboro will witness a spec
trail tomorrow which will draw a
larger crowd than a circus with six
clowns and twenty women in tights
sud spangles. Hall and Smith, the
condemned murdererS, will expiate
their crimes OF the scaffold, aud il
is already announced that the place
selected for the execution will &C
commodate the thousands who eX
pect to attend. 1t is sad cons
mentary on our civilization that the
morbid curiosity and vitiated taste
of the multitude is psndered to on
occasions of this sort, and il caunot
be urged that the punishment is
thus rendered more solemn and Im-
pressivo, for it is a notorious fact
that She awful example is entirely
lost on the class OF persons Gho at
tend, most OF whom are usually
drunk, pIUtane, or disorderly. The
horried preliminaries of death by
hanging should be arranged in pri-
vate, and the execution conducted
within tho walls of prison, and in
such e way that the mental and
physical agony of the criminals at
TIE supry me moment OF trial can
not be used to crafty the depraved
baSIe oil coarse and vulgar mob.

Perhaps.

Murfreesboro Newa.
The supreme court of CalifornIa
has decided that under the new
constitution of that state, all bills
passing the general assembly must
be read in full three times, except
in cases of great urgency, when the
first two readings may be dispensed
with. If the same rule obtained in
this state, it is probable that we
would have fewer silly bills enacted
into laws We doubt whether the
average Tennessee Legislature could
possess itsef in patience if it had
to submit to three full readings of
every bill presented, and if such a
requirement would lessen the num-
Der of bills, a great point would be
gained

Hal Halcombe was shot and in
stantly killed at Columbia Thurs
day morning last by NJ. +. (Mit.
Carter. Carter was attached to
Halcombe's daughter and wanted
TO marry her, but her father, who
was a passionate man, vehemently
objected and went in search of
Carter with the ayowed purpose of
killing him. He met the latter in
front OF a store and struck him In
the face, splitting his nose, and was
about to repeat the blow when Car
ter drew pistol and fired with IA
tai effect. Halcombe was regarded
as dangerous person, having al
ready killed three men, one OF
whom was his uncle. Carter, on the
other hand, is said to be quiet and
pcaceable, and his conduct in the
present instance seems to be per
jectly justifable.

A Furious Storm.

storm Thursday night, beginning al
9 P. NJ. and lasting until after mid
night. The wind blew gale, reach
ing velocity of forty miles pei
hour, accompanied by heavy thun
der, vivid flashes of lightning and a
perfect deluge of rain. Signs and
trees were blown down, and loose
shingles, tin and slate were torn
from the roofs and scattered all
over the city, Window panes in
the Masonic Temple were blown
out; the root was taken off the
Cum berland Presbyterian publish
ing house; the roof was taken of
the Burns Block, allowing the rain
to fall in torrents through the
building, damaging q large quantity
of dry goods; the elevator of Rhea
and Son, containing 10000 bushels
of grain. was unroofed, and a num-
Der of houses were blown down in
East Nashville. The Custom House
was considerably damaged The
suspension bridge swayed TO such
an extent as to render travel on it
dangerous. Telegraph wires in
every direction were sadly disar
ranged, only four out of the tairty
entering the city being left in work

of the citizens were simply indie

THE ToRBETT ISSUE
Declared to be Good for all State
and County Taxes.

| and County Taxes.
An important case, involving the
question of the payment of what is
known as the "Torbett issue" for
taxes, was decided in the circuit
court at Jackson, Tennessee, on
Friday last. The case came up as
follows: Clark, the tax collector
for Madison county, refused to re
ceive forty dollars "Torbett ISSUE"
from one Keith, in payment of tax
es. On hearing before the circuit
court of Madison county, the court
sustained the tax collector in his re-
fusal to receive the money so ten
dered. The case was taken up to
the United States supreme court,
which reviewed the judgment of the
court below and ordered q new trial
of the case. On Friday last, at
jackson, the circuit court of Madi
son county, Judge Horrigan presid-
ing, reviewed the case and ruled
that sunless the Torbett issue was
in aid OF the rebellion, it was good
for taxes" and the court ordered
Tax-Collector Clark to receive it.
The case is very important one,
because it involves the legality of
about three million dollars of Tor
bett issue. The case will not rest
here, however; it will probably
reach the supreme court OF the
United States again for final adjudi
catioh. The following counsel were
engaged in the argument of the
case: For the county of Madison
Colonel John H. Savage, Hon. A.
5. Wilson, Colonel E. w. Mumford.
For the plaintiff Keith-Colonel A.
5. Colyar, Hon. Howell f. jackson,
Hon. Alexander Kendall, and
Colonel Cole, Of Paris, Tennessee.
