ADJUSTMENTS.
Humpty.Dumpty.

The Humpty-Dumpiy specially troupe
which appears at Leubrie's Theater to.nigh!
10 lndorsed as follows by the Savannah Times
Mr.. Nick Roberts ia noted for giving good
shows, and he added somewhat 10 that envia-
BILE reputation by the entertainment. which
he gave last evening. 1t was HUmp4y- Dsrmpts
considerably revised and improved. The
rendition of the pantomime was very fine
indeed. All of the several characters were
well sustained, and although Runpty has
been presented several times in our city, the
comicalities and continuous devilmenr of the
three clowns, "Grimaldi," "Dromio" and
Pedro" kept the audience in a continued
laugh. The specialties introduced during
the play are certainly some of the best and
most daring ever seen on our boards, and
taking the entertainment all in all, it GER
tainly ranks as one of the best and most
enjoyable ever witnessed in our city. Don't
fail 10 see it tonight, as it is their last APP
pearance in this city this season."

No purer man ever lived in Tennessee,
and no sbier lawyer, than Judge R. L. Ca
ruihers, who impressed himself with more
force on the law and its practice in the State
than any jurist or publieis, it has yet pro-
duced. Independent in all things, he brought
10 the Offices which he accepted at the hands
of the people the best gifts of integrity of
purpose, capacity and industry. He was an
example MT only to his profession but 10 the
whole body of the people of the Safe. His
uprightness of life, his irankness in the state
ment and great ability in expressing his
views, his oiearDe and power as a speaker,
and his conservatism, were all forces that he
had at ready commsnd, and he used them az
occasion called with telling effect He was
a living rebuke to time-servers, to his office
seeking and grabbing contemporaries,
and especially to those who, eager for
public place and the ephemeral eclat that
attaches to public affair, yield to every wind
of doctrine and are everything by turns
and nothing long" He will be mourned by
the people of the State, who are thankful
that he lived and are grateful for his work.
Judge Brien, of Nashville, speaking on
Tuesday, at the bar meeting held in that
city to express the sense of loss Tennessee
has sustained, said Judge Caruthers "was
essentially brave man. He was not onlv
great in intellect, but great man in every
way. His career was a remarkable one
He was prentice boy; be was a self-taught
man- He was learned lawyer. No man
.ince Blackstone had gained such triumpts
as had Judge Caruthers. The most brilliant
CANVASS ever witnessed in the State was be-
tween Judge Carutbers and A. o. p Mich

NASHVILLE, October A most distress.
ing accident occurred here this afternoon.
Gen. Chas. D. Porter, Miss Lady EnsIey, OF

within two hours. George Burton jumped
out 10 go to her assistance and received a
compound comminuted fracture of the leg
below the knee. His leg will probably be
amputated tomorrow. kilograms were sent

The Louisville and Nashville Railroad
Company made great mistake when it failed
to seize the opportunity offered it TO cross the
Mississippi at Memphis and compete Tor the
vast growing traffic of the trans Missi.sipni
country. Instead of doing SO it bought
leased and baiit new lines in territe,v al.
ready covered by other and COMPLETING lines
and 1t permitted its stocks and bonds TO be
made the basis of speeuIations beyond its
ability to answer in dividends or growth. and
the result is Today floating deb. of s., 900.
GOO, with 100000 additional soon to

tai stock of SI2,OOO,OOO. That it will
survive this Encouragement 10 not certain.
Railroads can only be governed by The
strict Observance Of certain laws as well de-
lined as those which govern the political
or social wor d. Defiance OF these cannot
Hall TO bring disaster. This was threatened
lew days ago, and has only at best been
erIdged by the extraordinary expedients
OF almost doubling the capital stock-a
movenent which is always attended with
deprecialion-and increasing the floating
debt of 100000 by as much more. The
Louisville road may survive this sort of |
management, but it is, at the best, doubtful. |
Another prosperous year may bridge the !

over ninety per cent. of the votes cast. The
Stale senator and members of the lower

NEW YORK feIictaies herself ON her pres.

In many instance, in perfectly reckless

OF the sewer are as likely to flow one way as

the southeast portion of the city from April
