Fresh Charges Against HilIsman.

The Unions Washington special says,
"There are fresh evidences of fight
against Capt. Hillsmans confirmation.
A number of charges have been filed
with the senate committee, some OF
them a renewal of those made against
him when he was candidate, and 9th.
ers more recent. One point made is
that he bartered the government bust
ness Tor his official bond 1t is alleged
that he had great difficulty in giving his
bond, and finally made an agreement
with the officers of national bank that
if they would so on his bond he would
transfer his deposits as collector to that
bank, and that by this plan only was he
able to give a bond. This fact alone is
said to have led to the statement by
senators that they would oppose his con-
firmation. He is expected here soon in
his own behalf"

WHO WAS ELECTED.
FULL RETURNS FROM THE CITY ELEc-
TONS.


The municipal election was held Sat
urday at the Court House, the library
room in that building being used for a
polling place.
The halls OF the building were throng-
ed all day with noisy crowd. The
policemen this morning placed table
in front of the door where the voting
was going on leaving space in which
the throng of voters could pass in file.
The efforts to preserve order we're in a
great degree efiectual. The various
candidates and their friends were on the
grounds working like beavers and when
ever either side trumphed in securing
voter, considerable cheering was in
dulged in by the victors.
There were some colored soyereigns
about the polls who appeared to have
been slightly drunk on the excitement
the occasion afforded. Theirintoxicant
could not, of course, have been any
thing stronger, on election day

SPRINGFIELD Correspondence Spirit
of the Farm: Several dealers
in loose tobacco have been riding
for few days past, looking at the
crops, and buying some of the finest
crops for wrappers at from 81 to cents
around. Crops that are suitable for
wrappers are scarce, and some OF them
are held at 8 to 10 cents. The common
and medium grades are not dealt in to
much extent, as the buyers and sellers
are yet too far apart in their views.
Buyers are offering 4 to 5 and 81 cents
for common and medium crops, and
planters are holding about l to u cents
higher, The crop will be slow to move,
as very little stripping has been done
yet.
Wheat is looking very well; it was
generally put in well, and is a fine
stand. f"

OF Maury county, is IN for life, but
hopes to get out next year by the grace
of His Excellency, the Governor. No
one ever served SO long in the State
Prison. He has been following the
machinery OF the shops, and has done
much hard and useful labor. He says
mighty few come and go but there's a
change for the better, a reforming in
their opinions. The prisoners talk
constantly of their time" and wish
for its expiration continually. Some
get fretful, but it don't continue with
'em long. They learn to bear it. "We
count the days Ny time is up in sew
enteen months and seventeen days, and
tomorrow it will be sixteen days. Most
of them that goes out o. here know to a
day when their time is up" Coming
back to the ante room a blithe looking
woman asks to see prisoner. He is
brought in and meets his wife, her face
smiling and tenderly she talks out the
ten minutes given for their interview.
There are ], 1863 State prisoners, Of
which $50 are within the walls aside
from the women. OF these $50 are in
for murder, twenty for involuntary
manslaughter, eighty for assault to muir.

The prisoners know everything going

informed at the close Of the day of the

are very sensitive to any remarks
about them in the newspapers, said
Mr.. Grass.

SPIRIT OF THE FARM: A decis-
ion was rendered a few days since
in the court of law and equity IN Louis
vile, in which the principle involved
will be of interest to bankers, commits
sion merchants, and tobacco buyers.
The facts, as we understand them, are
these: A tobacco buyer on the Louis
vile market, whom we will call Mr..
A., bought Of a warehouseman, whom
we will call Mr., r., at public auction,
a number Of hogsheads Of tobacco, and
paid for the same. 1t afterwards trans
pired that bank of that city had loaned
Mr.. B. money, and held a lien upon
this tobacco as security, and that the
money loaned had not been repaid to
the bank by Mr.. B. either before OF
after Mr.. A. purchased the tobacco at
public auction and paid for it. The
bank brought suit for the property to
satisfy the lien, Mr.. B. having failed.
The decision of the court, after consid-
cradle delay, was adverse to the CLAIM
of the bank.
The decision seems a proper and just
one, the tobacco having been purchased
at public auction, in the usual manner,
without any notice of the hen or means
of obtaining a knowledge of it, mas
much as the bank only held the ware
house receipts OF Mr.. b., and there was
no public record to show the existence
OF the lien. Large amounts are loaned
on the different markets by banks on
similar security, and their confidence
is very rarely taken advantage Of.
