from Practice Before the Pen.
sion Onice.

The following from the Washington Ma
tiopal Free Press is another milestone, says
the Vicksburg Herald, on the high road that
leans to the inevitable dowzfall- of pious
old fraud, who at one time roamsd al large
in this part of the world, swindliDg and
practicing any character of deception on his
urisuspecting fellows:
DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR, !
PENSION OFFICE,
WASHINGTON, D. c., February l6, 1855. J
To Commissioner of Pensions:
SIR-The recommendation contained in YOU
letter of the 9TH instant, that Gilbert Meyers, o
Memphis Tenn. and Washineton, be no longe
recognized as an attorney before the Pension
Office, for the reason that he has wrongfully with
held pension money, is approved. Very respect
fully, II. N. TELLER, Secretary.
Gilbert Meyers, it will be seen, has beer
deoarred from practice before the depart
ments, the charges being for retaining pen
siOners' money. We learn numerous com
plants have been filed against him, and tn.
department could not fail to take notice O
them. Claimants will see that his service,
are OF no further utility 10 them, and, there
fore, will not trust him with their business
This is disbarment entirely from practIc
| from and after February 16, 1888. We un
derstand that Mr.. Moyers's friends claim
| that his other interests in claims is all b,
cares for, but we beg 10 inform them that hi
disbarment has a wide scope, reachin,
through all the departments. This beinJ
the case, it would appear to an ordinary OBJ
server that his claim career is wholly ended

In the Legislature.

NASHVILLE, March 2.-In the Senate this
morning the House bill autborizing clerks
Of county courts to issue license by the qusr-
ter ss we'll ss by the year came up.
Mr.. Thompson opposed the bill. He said
i was fer the benefit Of little fellows who
wished 10 start doggeries and demoralize
society. 10 his town (Lebanon) these dog
geries had we'll nigh ruined the schools
Lebanon was once considered the Athens Of
the South. The people had finally got rid
OF the little hells and sinkholes, and the
schools had increased in the number Of
pupils more than 100 in single season.
Mr.. Bibb differed with the senator from
Lebanon. He did not believe the passage of
the bill would increase intemperance. He
thought the Legislature ought 10 pass the
bill.
Mr.. Thompson moved 10 amend by pro-
viding that he bill shall not apply to sellers
Of Intoxicating liquor.
Mr.. Agee said whisky dealers already
could take out license for quarter. That
Was the law, but other small dealers could
not
Mr.. Champion favored the bill. Wherever
whisky was allowed 10 be sold, il would be
sold, doggeries or no doggeries. He thought
the bill would benefit email dealers in any
merchandise.
Mr. Thompson asked if the law allowing
retail whisky dealers to take out quarterly
licenses had not been repealed.
Mr.. Agee replied that it had moi.
Mr.. Cooper thought the passage Of The bill
would increase the revenue Of the State.
Mr.. Thompson withdrew his amendment
He said that after considering the matter he
thought the bill ought 10 pass.
The bill passed the senate-yeas, 20;
naJs,5
Mr.. Dodd introduced bill 10 make rail-
roads liable for injury to employer.
Mr.. Cooper, rising 10 question of privi-
lege, said he had been reported as saying
Nashville had no ntei of additional rail-
roads. Senators would rem ember that he
did not undertake TO determine The fact
whether or not Nashville needed additional
railroads. He stated, in discussing the ques-
ton, that if Nashville had enough facilities
already he did not see any reasons for addi-
tional railroads.

Knoxville Tribune, 10 that position.
The House considered the Senate bill 10
amend the laws for the organic alton of cor
porations so as to provide for the organiza-
ton of jockey club companies.
Mr.. Patterson and Mr.. Berry held that
jockey clubs were beneficial, as providing
means for polo and other athletic sports.
Mr.. Macon opposed licensing little betting
concerns all over the State. II The young
men get this start they will wind up in the
"bucket shops" OF Nashville. He thought it
would be better if half the blooded stock in
