The Commission Repeal.

nashville Banner.
The repeal of the railroad com
mission law in this state has not
only been hailed with satisfact ton
by the great majority Of the people
of Tennessee, but it is also the
subject of favorable comment
among the friends and opponents OF
true progress in other states. Brad
streets the xeli-known trade and
financial journal, just received,
says of the repeal of the commits
sion Jaw:
There seems to be much satisfac-
tion in the state at the removal Of
this vexed question, which has
been a source of contention since
it's inception. The Birmingham,
Ala, Age, a conservative southern
paper, has the following illustra-
ton of sentiment in that section on
the subject of railroad legislation
The southern people are manifest
ly not disposed to move fast in any
attempG to check railroad coRstruc-
tion or hinder railroad prosperity.
1t is a great problem to discrimi-
nate by law between the rights OF
private property to legislate their
own relations to their business.
1t is a problem which cannot be
solved without long and dIspassion-
ate consideration"

Female Poker Clubs.

The craze for playing poker has
broken out among fashionable la
dies in Washington. The doings OF
the army poker club, where the
lives and regulations of so many
others have been blasted are mat
ter ofgeneral knowledge and gossip,
but during lent, when it was so
wicked to dance, the fair danes
have consoled themselves with the
chatter of the chips and the excite
ment of the draw. 1t is stated that
one young society belle recently
lost over 5000 at five sittings.
This is quite large sum in game
where betting above twenty-five
cents was prohibited. The favorite
game among young ladies, however,
is the "penny ante, five cent limit. !"
This is almost exclusively con
fined to ladies who have only a linn
tied or moderate amount of pin
money each week, but there is said
to be heap of fun for the specta-
tors. Very few gentlemen are ad-
mitted to this game. A much more
refined and respectable form of
amusement has been established for
their enjoyment. The poker par
ties where both sexes play do not
use vulgar chips or still more vul-
gar money; that would be carrying
the thing too far. Elaborate and
costly favors are provided, paid for,
of course, by the gentlemen, and
then the entire party sits down to a
game Of "freeze-out.''

Voice from Vermont.

The Rutland (Vt.) Herald (rep.
gives some of its bloody shirt con
temporaries the following to put in
their papers:
'As an earnest radical republican.
as an ex-Union soldier, the writer
is frank to say that the southern
men who are to-day the most pro-
gressive statesmen of their section,
who are disposed to educate the ne
gro and to frown on the race preiu-
dice which would rob him OF his
civil rights, are the Confederate
Brigadiers. A brave man is gener-
ally manly and generous fellew
and it is but just to say that Gems.
Beauregard, Johnson, Heberd, I'm
boden, Colquitt, Gordon, Wickham,
Ransom, Longstreet, McLaws, Mich
olson and Gibson have always
thrown the weight of their influence
in favor of educating and protect
ing the negro. Ii President Cleve-
land must recognize the southern
democracy he recognizes the brains,
its courage and its advanced thought
when he recognizes the Confederate
Brigadiers."

"The National Game"

The so-calIed National Game -
while it may afford amusement to
a few, is, to large and intelligent
portion Of the citizens of these
United States, rapidly becoming a
very large nuisance. The idea of
eighteen or twenty grown men on a
hot evening in July or August,
trifing away their time-time in
which they could make an honest
living for themselves and families
if they have any-doing themselves
or their tellow-beings, not one pos
sible particle of good, is absolutely
preposterous. The work performed
by professional player during the
progress of a game, is as severe
and exhaustive as is entailed upon
man by any kind, of honorable,
upright, manual labor. Yet, we
feel warranted in the assertion that
not single one of these "heroes"
could be induced, even for a larger
consideration, to perform in ten
hours, at some legitimate occupa-
ton, the work that they willingly
and freely perform in two, at this
abominable nuisance. Whole col
umns of our best newspapers are
daily devoted to reports of games
played in various parts of the coun-
try, and some of them attach as
much interest to the probable result
of a game of base ball as they would
to the price of breadstuffs. For
boys at school it may be a health
full exercise, but when three or four
thousand persons will, on a hot day
in summer, leave their homes or
places of business to witness this
internal piece of nonsense, it is re-
diculous, to say the least Of it.

Nose Eaten OFF.

A young man named John Nayes,
living near here, mad an eating cancer
on his face, which had eaten away
his nose, part of his cheat 80 o~-

Gov. Porter's letter concerning
Gen. WhitthOrne, which appeared
in the CITIZEN last week, is repro
duced in this issue together with
Gen. Whitthorne's public reply to
the same. 1t will be seen that
these distinguished Tennesseans are
engaged in a bitter war of words,
and it has been inferred from Gen.
Whitthorne's card that he formally
challenged Gov. Porter to mortal
combat. If this be true, which we
hope is not the case, public senti-
ment in Tennessee will not censure
the latter gentleman for the course
he has pursued. The Banner in
commenting upon the unfortunate
affair, truly says;
"The issue between these two
prominent Tennesseans is not a
question of personal courage, and
their differences could not he set
tied by an appeal to a barbarous
code. No one doubts the courage of
either and the presentation of the
alternative of a passage at arms
would be no test Of heroism on Ell
Their side. Right thinking people
will commend the man who rejects
such test. The personal misun-
Outstanding between Gov. Porter
and Gen. Whitthorne is a matter
between themselves, but in so far
as it involves questions with which
the public are concerned it can best
be lett to the judgment of the peo-
pie who are interested and who are
competent to judge of the facts"

suffered from bronchitis, having ex-
hausted his finances, in order to
make good the deficit, resolved to
ally himself to a comedy, lenient
and docile young lady of the Malay
or Caucasian race. He accordingly
purchased s. calliope, and a coral
necklace of a chameleon hue, and
securing suite of rooms at prin-
cipal hotel, he engaged the head
waiter as his coadjutOr. He then
dispatched a letter of the most IN
exceptionable caligraphy extant, in
viting the young lady to a matinee.
She revolted at the idea, refused to
consider herself sacrifcable to his
desires and sent polite note of re-
fusal; on receiving which he procur-
ed carbine and bowie knife, said
that he would not forge letters by.
