before Justice Wilkinson, but the testimony

Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad.
Receivers Gin drat and Wofford announce

Rongb Joke on a Hotter.
In removing to a new place of business
the remnant of his stock left by the great
fire at Chattanooga, last Sunday, a dealer in
hats discovered the agonizing fact that one
of his cases contained twelve old hats, their
owners in the hurry of business having left
them as substitutes for the new ones which
they wore off. lie insists that if the sub
stitution had occurred under any other cir
cumstance he would be forced to the con
clusion that some slight stealing had been
going on.
Knit for Damages.
Suit was yesterday instituted in the Cir
cuit Court of Davidson county, by Bailey,
(Jrdway Co.. against l h. Mchol, W. J,
Taylor, "W. L. Murfree, H. H. Harrison
and F. R. Cheatham, for damage in the
sum of $15,000 alleged to have been sus
tained by the firm mentioned in consequence
of the refusal of Mr. Nichol, while acting
as County Court Clerk, to take Bank of
Tennessee money for taxes. The trial of
the suit will involve some interesting facts
and intricate points of law.
A Cool Transaction.
About the coolest transaction of recent
occurrence was the sudden change in the
weatner early yesterday morning, accompa
nied by a lively fail of snow and an almost
tunous gale, which continued throughout
the day. The only redeeming feature of
tne occasion was me snow-storm, the ten
dency or which was to remind the thought
ful of the famous production commencing
in tue laminar couplet
"The snow, the snow, the beautiful Enow,
How gently down Its fleeces flow."
County Court Loqnadty.
The business yesterday before the County
Court embraced matter of more than ordi
nary interest to the people of the country,
and if there was more than necessary talk
ing done on the occasion, it is consoling to
know that it was with good intentions, and
not accompanied by any damaging results.
People will talk, and members of the County
uourt are as much entitled to that privilege
as any other class or their leliow-citizcns.
That tribunal does not assemble very fre
quently, and although many and lengthy
speeches to some extent retard the business
of the Court, we would not willuigly see
their liberty of speech restricted, or the
pleasures of animated conversation denied
them.
Ifashville Opera House.
Notwithstauding the inclemency of the
weather there was a good attendance
at the Opera House to hear Cag
liastro, In which there was much
to admire anfl more to enthuse an
audience with the enrapture of all tliat
is touching and lifelike in the brilliant pro
duction of a grand and impressive tragedy.
The expectations of our citizens as regards
the eclat of C. Harry Franck as Cagliastro
and other characters were not attended
with a satisfactory realization. Mr. Franck
may be, and doubtless is, an actor of no
mean merits, but while his intonation is va
ried enough to be forcible, and at times
thrilling, yet his utterance of words has not
quite enough of alarmed fervor in itself,
and we must with Keates say
"O. how unlike
To that large utterance of the early gods"
who stamped the stage of yore and shook
applause from every corner. However he
is a good actor: still we thought Grey, as
Duke de Fronzac,- made a-more favorable
impression, especially in those sceneS'where
phrenzied grief and the ravings of despair
aronse deeper and more passionate feeling.
Grey managed his part well, and ins ir
tion was as godly- done as was his potion
"excellent," Mrs. Grey as Marchioness ilc
Montelieu, and Mrs. Kent as Annetta, were
weii received, in the dying scene
Mrs. Grey adds that intensity of pathos
to her voice which fuses an audience with
deepest feelings of sympathy for one whose
piteous accents were "too late for love and
too late for life." Kent held his own free
and gracious style, while others knew when
and how to move and speak. Altogether
(veuniiKjur. uruy wm he aoie io gainer
crowded houses so soon as the weather be
comes more favorable, for not the least in
dication is that there were so many of our
best, most elegant and fashionable ladies
present last night. To-night Cagliastro
will be again presented and we doubt not
but there will be a large audience.

VISIT TO MRS. POLK.
The Members or the legislature Call
Upon thoVTldow oftheEx-PresIdent
1b a Body.
A Pleasant Ke-nnlou.
Pursuant to 'a tlolnt resolution of TJoth
Houses of the General Assembly, both
branches adjourned at half past two o'clock
yesterday evening, and proceeded in a body
to the, residence of the honored widow of
ex-President Polk.
Mrs. Fallj who officiates on such occasions,
had invited a few friends to be present,
among whom wo noticed Mrs. .Gov, J.
C. Brown, Mrs. Dr. Van S. Lindsley, 3Irs.
John O. Ewin, Mrs. Connor, of New Orleans,
Mrs. J. D. Horton, Mrs. A. J. Duncan,
Mrs. McGuire and Miss Julia Putnam.
There were also a few gentlemen, including
Gov. John C. Brown, Col. R. B. Cheatham,
Anson Nelson, A. J. Duncan, Col. John O."
Burcli, T: D. Craighead, S. W. Childress,
FelixDemoville, Bruce Buckner and A. G.
Adams, occupying the parlors previous to
the arrival of the members of the Legisla
ture. As the members entered the parlors, they
were introduced separately, and cordially
received by Mrs. Polk. A half hour or
more was spent in conversation, when the
guest s were invited to partake of a sumptuous
repast prepared by the hospitable lady of the
mansion. The tables were filled with
choice viands, fruits and confections, and
wines in variety. A half hour more passed
by, around the festive board, when the Le
gislators returned to the parlors. At this
juncture, the Speaker of the House was
selected to return thanks for the courtesies
extended, and in compliance with the
solicitation of his brother members,
Mr. Speaker Richardson saidi Mrs.
Polk: Upon me lias devolved the very
pleasant duty of presenting to you the
members of the Lower House of the Thirty
Seventh General Assembly-of the State of
Tennessee, who have called -upon you to
day to pay you their respects not, as a mere
matter ot lonn and m compliance with
custom established and acted upon by our
predecessors for many years, but as a mat
ter of choice, and of sincere gratification to
each member lor the opportunity thus af
forded. We have called to make your ac
quaintance, or to renew an acquaintance
already made by many, and to express
our best wishes for your happiness
and prosperity and of our most
profound veneration and respect
for the memory of the illustrious dead
whose honored remains repose in yonder
tomb, and. whose spirit lias gone to God
who gave it. Allow me to assure you that
yon have the best wishes of each member
of this Assembly, and that we most earn
estly hope that yon may yet be spared many
years of happiness and pleasure to yourself
and or comlort to your mends, and that
many succeeding Legislatures of a State
not rendered the more famous by reason of
the ability and wisdom and chivalry of her
sons, than the grace and dignitv and gentle
ness' of her daughters, may enjoy the happy
privilege ol calling upon you and partaking
of the like generous hospitality you have
to-day extended to us.
Following these remarks of the Speaker
ol the House,
Senator Ridley said: Mrs. Polk: It is with
pleasure as a representative of the Senatorial
body to whom I belong; it is with heartfelt
pleasure that I extend to you tho hearty
wishes and cordialities of each and every
member oi that oody. it is a consolation
to myself (and I take it that it has ever con
soled you) for the distinguished association
and cheering recollections of him to whom
yon were allied by affection and devotion,
that by the kindly interposition of Provi
dence, he was called to his home long be
fore the recent struggle with its blood, war
fare and desolation which visited this na
tion. We regard you as a bright link that
connects the past and the present, and sad
indeed will be that recollection, in common
with the whole people, when God in his
providence sliall call you to His home, and
the link shall have been severed. In part
ing with you this evening, and thanking you
for these cordialities, we thank you as abody,
eacn and every one oi us, and hope you
may live to see many occasions like this,
and that your life may be as brilliant as it
lias been usefid and good.
Col. John C. Bnrch, of the Union and
American, at the request of Mrs. Polk,
said:
Gentlemen of the Senate and House of
Representatives: I am requested by Mrs.
Polk to return to you her sincerest thanks
lor the compliment which you have paid
ner. ano leeis, and i douoiy leel, that no
language can express the gratification that
your visit is to her on this occasion, she
feels, and I doubly feel that Tarn but a poor
representative or her to-day. bhe has been
the recipient of favors of a similar charac
ter on many previous occasions, but I am
authorized by her to say that on no occa
sion has it made a deeper, nor will any ever
make a more lasting impression than this.
I am also authorized to say for her that
when these receptions come, there is
in the mind of the general public,
perhaps an idea of formality that she desires
to have removed. Whatever of formality
there may have been in your visit, be as
sured that in the reception it was cordial
and heartfelt, and while you have alluded
to the past, she, too, looking back over the
bloody scenes to which' you have referred,
that mar the picture ol our country, re
members the bright past, and hopes with
your assistance, and with the assistance of
future legislators of Tennessee, and of the
nation, that the future may be still brighter
than everthe past has been.

The Lessons of the Tire.
Tho Cliattanooga Times of yesterday has
an article under the above heading, in the
course of which that paper says:
I he city of Chattanooga is taxed as heavy
as any city of its size in the country. With
no bonded debt worth mentioning, a tax
is levied and collected of at least $2 on every
$100 worth of real and personal property.
The taxable property of the city is returned
at over three millions. Now what do the
tax payers receh-e for tho enormous sum
they are compelled to pay? What protec
tion in person and property is afforded
them? Is it worth while to contribute two
per cent, of our property annually for the
bare privilege of having our place of resi
dence and business called a city with a
Mayor and Alderman, and a Recorder and
a police force? Yet that is all we have been
receiving for the past six years.
ir we can liave no organized lire depart
ment, no efficient police force, no protec
tion to persons and property,no water for use
in case ot lire, no street lamps to lighten the
darkness, under cover of which tliieves and
murderers pursue their infamous calling
with impunity, we submit that it would be
just as well for our reputation and better
tor our purses, to ask the Legislature to
repeal our charter as a city and become
simply a collection of civil districts under
the general laws which govern the State
and county.
Five New York clubs have succumbed
beneath "the chances and changes of this
mortal life" within the lastfouryears. This
speaks well for the cultivation of the do
mestic virtuesand married felicity. It Is a
good sign in the social game of life when
hearts trump everything, the clubs included.

OBJLCTS OF TUB-MEETING.
Judge Glenn stated the object of tho
meeting to be action in reference to tho
proposed contract between the David
son County Railroad Commissioners and
the, American Contract Company, by which
the interest of Davidson county in the
Edgefield and Kentucky railroad will be
transferred to the Contract Company.
Judge Glenn also stated that any other
business could be transacted at this meet
ing. MOTION TO CONFIRM.
The terms of the contract (as published
in yesterday' paper) having been read,
Justice Maxey moved to ratify and confirm
the transfer of the property as soon as the
party of the. second part had complied with
the conditions of the contract. Action on
Justice Maxey's motion deferred,
TO PREVENT TRANSFER' OF THE SCHOOL
FUND.
The court-being in waiting for the official
report of the' Railroad Commissioners, Jus
tice Claiborne offered the rollowing pream
ble and resolutions, and made a few perti
nent remarks in support or the same:
Whereas, a bill lias passed the Senate of
the General Assembly or the State ot len-
nessee upon its third reading, removing the
school fund from the hands of the County
Trustee and placing it m the hands of the
County Superintendent of schools for dis
bursement; now, thereiore,
Resolved, that this County Court respect
fully memorialize the General Assembly not
to remove said fund from tiie hands of the
Trustee: and further
Resolved, tliat the County Court Clerk be
instructed to furnish a certified copy of the
action or this court to our rtepresentatlves
in the Legislature, and respectfully request
them to oppose any change in the present
law, so lar as the disbursement or the school
fund is concerned. Further,
Resolved, that a committee of three be
appointed by the County Judge to present
this memorial, and to use any influence
they may have in preventing the passage of
the act referred to.
Justice Maxey supported the resolutions
and read some law denying the right of the
Legislature to transier a trust tuna irom
one officer to another. He regretted that
the Senator from Davidson had advocated
the removal of the school fund from the
possession of the County Trustee into the
hands of an officer neither elected by the
people or this Court.
Justice Dortch said that Senator Merritt
had, in his action in this matter, been actu
ated by none but pure motives, and with a
view to tho best educational interests or tho
people.
Justice Maxey disclaimed any intention
to impugn the motives of the Senator from
Davidson, but merely questioned the wis
dom or prudence of his course.
The resolutions of Justice Claiborne were
adopted by unanimous vote, and Judge
Glenn appointed Justices Maxey, Paul and
Walsh a3 the committee to memoralize the
Legislature against the proposed interfer
ence with the school fund or the county.
TERMS OF THE SALE.
The Railroad Commissioners submitted
in official form the terms of sale of the in
terest of Davidson county in the Edgefield
and Kentucky Railroad to the American
Contract Company, and the whole matter
was fully and distinctly explained by Gen.
George Maney, who in answer to questions
on the subject, gave it as bis opinion that it
was proper for the County Court to ratify
the sale, and tliat Judge Glenn anthorize an
election by the people to ascertain whether
or not they will approve and conhrm the
action of the Court in ratifying the sale,
according to the terms ot the written con
tract. REPORT OF THE-RAILROAD COMMISSIONERS
The report of the Railroad Commission
ers as to the sale ol the county's interest in
the Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad, which

To the Worshipful the County Court of
Davidson County: The undersigned Com
missioners respectfully report that, in pur
suance or a resolution oi the worsmptui
court, $71,400 of the accumulated stock of
the Louisville and JNashvuie itaiiroad was
appropriated to secure the purchase of the
county's interest in and control of the
Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad. From
this appropriated stock there was realized
by sale made through the First National
Bank of Nashville, $52,262, and with this
cash amount as margin, 225 State bonds
were procured for the first requisite payment
to the State.under contract with Winslow
Wilson, of Jew York. (This contract is
submitted marked exhibit A, and is referred
to for particulars.) Your Commissioners
further report that they are informed by a
competent engineer and officers designated
temporarily to manage the said Edgefield
and Kentucky Railroad, that its condition
is bad, and will require perhaps an imme
diate expenditure or not les3 than one hun
dred and sixteen thousand dollars upon the
road-bed, trestles and bridges, to place the
same in a safe and serviceable condition, to
say nothing of a much needed large addition
to its rolling stock equipment. Under this
state or facts, your commissioners have in
vited propositions for the purchase of said
Edgefield and Kentucky Railroad, with the
view to affording your worshipful body the
fullest information and opportunity of serving
advantageously the county s interest, and we
now respectlully submit the accompanying
proposition from E. G. Sebree, agent of the
American Contract Company. This propo
sition was only procured upon careful
negotiations conducted under the effective
assistance of Chancellor E. H. East and
Hon. A. L. DeMoss. The proposition
affords the county and its associate stock
holders a clear profit and bonus of 5225,000
payable in bonds of Tennessee at par, and
considering the condition Of the road and
the fair price offered, we respectfully recom
mend the acceptance of the proposed pur
chase by your worshipful body.

A Soldier Discharged.
The-case of Rufus Dowdy, formerly a
captain in the t irst itegiment Tennessee
Mounted Infantry, came np before Judge
Trigg, yesterday, on a writ of habeas corpus.
Dowdy was indicted in the Circuit Court of
Overton county for the murder of Reese T.
Hildreth, The circumstances of the killing
were these T In 1864 General Stokes com
manded Captain Dowdy to take a sufficient
number or men and make an exploration
into Overton county, to capture some arms
concealed there, and to retake some Gov
ernment stock which had been run off by
guerrillas. liowdy obeyed. This was
shortly after the July order of General
Milroy, commanding the extermination
oi" guerrillas. A portion of Dowdy's
men chased some guerrillas from
tlte house of Hildreth, where they had been
entertained and fed; and in the pursuit lost
some of their dothing. The day afW,
Dowdy with his whole force visited Hil
dreth's to recover the lost clothing. Hil
dreth was not at home. His wife would
answer no questions about the clothing and
was abusive, but upon a threat to burn her
house unless tho clothing were restored,
she made a negro woman procure It from a
place of concealment some fifty yards from
the house. While the parleying about the
clothing had been going on at the house,
some of Dowdy's force, going .off, had cap
tured a notorious guerrilla named
Jonathan Padget, with some Govern
ment stock in his possession. Padget
being about to be summarily dealt with,
disclosed that he acted only as a hireling of
Hildreth, which was confirmed by a negro
boy who was with him. In Hildreth's sta
ble had been found the horse of a slain
member of Dowdy's company. Dowdy
now commanded the arrest of Hildreth,
who was some half a mile off. The men
who went off to make the arrest, killed Hil
dreth in bringing him to the house. It was
not disclosed why they killed him. Dowdy
was not present when he was killed. For
his alleged implication in this killing, the
indictment aforesaid was found against
Dowdy. The prosecution was transferred
into the United States Circuit Court here.
Afterwards Dowdy was surrendered by his
bail into the Marshals custody, where
upon he sued out a writ of ha
beas corpus, and asked to be dis
charged. The act of Congress of 1807 con
fers upon the U. S. Courts and Judges pow
er to discharge from custody any person de
prived of his liberty in violation of the Con-
r 1 "I I u
suiiuiuu ur nuy law ui ma umieu otaies.
Another act limits the time during which any
person may he prosecuted lor any wron:
done during the rebellion, under authority
derived irom the President or any act
Congress, to two years. Still another act
provides specially for the punishment of
murder, etc, when committed by a soldier
ol the United States, by a military tribunal
It was urged that Dowdy was deprived of
his liberty in violation or his right of ex
emption, after two years from 18S4, from
such a prosecution. Also, that he was in
custody under a State prosecution for what
was, under an act or Congress, cognizable
only oy a military triDunal.
The Court after hearing the testimony in
the case, decided that Dowdy, being at the
time of the killing a captain in tho United
States army, actively engaged in the sup
pression or the re Demon, his onense, ir anv,
was only cognizable by the military tribun
al provided under the act or Congress: and
that, being m custody under a state indict
ment, found contrary to his right or ex
emption under said act of Congress from
State jurisdiction for such offense, he was
deprived of his liberty in violation of a law
of the United States, and accordingly he
was discharged.
The prisoner was represented by the
District Attortey and by Gen. William B
Stokes, his former commanding officer.

Joshua Marvel is a new story by B. J,
Farieon, the author of Grif. Joshua the
central iigure or the history becomes an
errand boy in a weekly newspaper. Wages,
four shillings a week. Time, from eight to
eight an hour to dinner, half an hour to
tea. He goes with fear and trembling to
the office, finds his way to a dirty room, is
told to come in, and the occupant of the
room says: "Who are you?" Joshua re
plies that he is a new errand boy, and what
follows is thus told b y the author, whose
language we adopt, to give our readers
specimen of his style
"Oh, very well, take this prool up stairs,
cut along, look sharp."
Going up to a red-headed youth, Joshua
a3ked to whom be should give the proof.
"To snooks;" and he round snooks and
upon him he bestowed the manuscript.
.One of the workmen, walking to a slab
of iron placed in the middle of the room,
took therefrom a sheet of manuscript and
looking at it negligently shouted ".Num
ber Three!"
Another voice at the other end of room
cried out "Awful collision!"
Joshua stopped in the midst of his sweep
ing and waited for the shock. None came-
and he thought the second speaker was,
crazy. Meantime dialogue continued:
"End a break."
"All right."
"What type?"
"Minion."
"How long before this 'Dreadful Suicide'
is finished?"
"Done in five minutes, sir."
"Who's on the inquest?"
"I am, sir."
"Make haste then. How long is his
Chancery Court' to remain opsn?"
"Close it up m ten minutes, sir."
Joshua gazed with a kind of wonder at
the individual who spoke as If it were as
easy to close a 'Court of Chancery' as to
close his hand.
The Overseer continued to issue his
strange orders, and during a slight cessa
tion in the hammering he ordered the
workmen to "lock up that Escaped Lunatic;
and to lay the Female In Disguise on the
stone."
Joshua started and looked round to catch
a sight of the Female. He tumbled against
a workman who held a column of typo in
hand. The type fell to' the ground, and in
an instant the whole office was in confu
sion. An enterprising.Yankee has just opened
