Accordingly she was arrested by of- ficer Burnett for an assault.

American! a Hips | More Pelitical Troubles in Teanessee, The Baltimore Sun, of this morning, pub- lisbes a special dispatch from this city, dated yesterday, saying: ‘The Mayor of Nashville, Tenn, and other officials of that city, sent fo the President to- dav a telegram setting forth that the civil suthorit f the city of Nashviile cail upon the Execu to interfere by orders to we forces of the United States there stationed, to prevent the seizure, by armed force, of their city on Saturday next. They say the cause of this action is, that on Saturday, the 28th of this month, is the day of the regular charter elec- tion, and the lawtully constitated authorities are preparing, as the law directs, to Bold said election under the provisions of the charur, ‘They have appointed judges ef election and designated places. Governor Rrownlow proclims thatthe come miséioners of registrations shail appoint judges to hold the election. All out ablest Inwyers agréé that the Governor has no power to decide the lxw by proclamation, and that his decision is erroneous. This sBonld be a case for the courts to determine, 8nd we will bow to the decision of the courts, thongn all the jndges thereof are appointees o! Governor Brownlow: but we aré not left to take this course. Gen. Joseph E. Cooper has been cent here witb orders to concentrate his State guard, oF militia at this place, and to forcibly prevent the holding of onr elections by the judges ap- pointed, and we are turther informed and be- lieve, that the militia will: be ordered to seize by force of arms upon the city records, archives, public property, and forcibly eject from their positions, the lawfully constituted authority of the city, and indnect into office, those whom he pleases to put im theiz place, ‘We will not interfere with any elestion, or pretended elrctiou, which the opposite party may bold, and insist ‘hat they shall not be permitted forcibly to interfere with the elec- tion to be held by our judges. If itbe illegal the remedy is the couris. The city authorities are bound by law to hold an election, and protect the ballot boxes from interference. If they perform tbat duty it mast result in conflict of arms, and for the preservation of peace we ask the fnterposition of the miiltary force now stitioned at Nashville. The State guard, which has positive published orders thus to interfere with and supercede the civil authorities, is @ standing army raised in our State without the consent ot Congress, and is now to be used immediately to put down all semblance of @ republican form of govern- ment, unless prevented by orders to the Uni- ted States forces here.” «We ask that such orders may be issued by telegraph og shall authorize the commander of the federal terces here to prevent all interfer- ence of the State guard or militia with the Proceedings of the civil authoritic3."” “The party thus sought to be placed in pos- session of our city is a mere faction ef the radi- cal party, whom even Mr. Fletcher, Secretary of State, denounced in his speech on Saturday night last a8 composed of adventurers and bummers, not residents or citizens, but inter- loping strangers.” ‘Tis dispatch came this morning and was considered in the Uabmet. The result was an order by telegraph from General Grant to Gen. Thomas, at Louisville, setting forth the fear of @ collision expressed by Mayor Brown, et al., and directing General Thomas to go to Naehville and remain until after the election, to preserve peace. He 1s instructed that the military cannot set up to be judges as to which ie tof election judges have the right to contro}, but must confine their action to preventing or putting down hostile mobs. The bope is expressed. by General Grant, however, that by seeing Governer Brownlow ana the city officials, the presence and advice of Genera! Thomas may prevent disturbance. The Reported Acquisition of the Bay of Samaua by the United States. The purchase by the United States of the Ray of Samana, in the colored Republic of St. Domingo, for the sum of $1,000,000. now allegea to have been finally arranged, is in harmony with steps taken by some active New York ad- venturers fifteen years ago. At that date {t was propored to place 4,0) or 5,0) American settlers in the country, the popniation of which is esirmated at only about 200,000, and the ob- vious intent was to acquire this Bay with its yaluable coul mines, which owing to the de- velopment to be given to steam navigation in the Pacific by the then newly discovered treasurers of California was regarded as one of the most valuanle properties that conld be opened up. At that period, in order perhaps. to stimulate the national feeling on the ques! ton, it was represented that France had de. signs upon the Republic, and about the same time alro a futile attempt was made to raize in Londen a Dominican loan of £750,000. Sub- sequently the temporary reoccupation of San Domingo by Spain. and the exigencies of the civil war in America, seems to have diverted nittention from the subject. Its resumption at the present moment may im its commercial bearings be regarded with satiefaction. The Bay of Samana is among the finest barbors in the world, and the supply of coal for steam purpores has been alleged to be virtually in- exhaustible, and to be so situated tha’ vessels may even load slongside of the mines. If th= general account of its capabilities be correct the station will. of course, prove of incaicula- ble smportance to the United States ina nayal uteven if the assumption were to be ined that considerations of that kind rather than of commercial utility have opera- ted as incentives to the acquisi'ion we may safely rely that the commercial principle will triumph in the end, and that out ot the facili- ties to be gained by an ample supply of coal tor the steam traffic with Australia, Ualifornia, China and Japan, advantages will be realized for the world, by the side of which any results of narrow antegonism will sink into insignifi- cance.—London Times, (City Ar' Sept. 10. Race without Legs—New Style ef Amuse. ment, ‘The most novel trial of skill on record will come off at the Carthage Fair Grounds, on Saturday, September 2ist, between 4 and‘5 p. m. Itisarace between two well-known cit- izens, Mr. Isaac Reynolds and Wm. Quillins. There gentlemen, of the same age, by an un- fortunate coincidence, were each victims of a railroad accident, in 1852, by which each lost both legs at the hip. They both recovered, and being of strong physique apd sound health, bave acquired most extraordinary powers of Jocomotion by means of their arms. They are men of energy. and over the average intelligence, and in the struggle for livelihood exbibit wonderfui perseverance and cheerfal- ness. Reynold’s weightis 97 Ibs. and (Quillins 129 lbs. ‘The race is one mile for a purse of $1,000. ‘They divide the admission fee between them- selves. Reynolds is quite confident of making it in 20 minutes, and large wagers are being made on thattime. No doubt large sums of money will change hands on this curious trial of skill and physical endurance. In fact the whole affair casts yacht races, bage ball gemes, and trotting matches in the shade, as ‘well as Byron’s celebrated swim of the Helies- pont, vhije the pedestrian feasts of Gilder- sleeve and Jackson, and the skill of Biondon will hide their diminiehed fame before the achievements of these men without legs,— Cincinnati Gaseite, Diezask Amowc Horses—The Norfolk county, Va, farmers are 6 reverely by their constant losses of valuable horses from the effects of the disense known as the stag- gers, which seems etl tan Deemed ad oan alarming extent.

The Workmen's Congress In the London News we find the following synopsis of recent doings at the Workmen's Congress. now in session at Lansane. The subjects discussed were ih rt of men and women in society, the education of child- Ten, education in general, and freedom ofedu- cation. On the first point the Congre: to the almost unanimous conclusion t physiological and bygtenic reasons as on ecomomic and moraigrourds, noth nz -ou'd justify the employment of woman as an ‘n- dustrial laborer. On the subject of education, the Congress were of opimion that scho sbould be at the same time literary and indus- trial. On the question wheter education should be voluntary or obligatory and given by the state there was a difference of opinion. ‘The majority of the French delegutes held that the gratuity of education was an illusion, as the cost was defrayed from the taxes to which the working classes were the great contribu. tors. The following resolution was adopted “Gonsidering that the phrase ‘gratuitous edu- cation’ is nonsense, becatee the expense is de- frayed from the taxes; but considering that education is indispensabie, the Congress only Admits the right of the State to supersede that of the parent when the latter is unable to give education to his children. Religions instruc. tion should be removed from the programme of stady.” The last questions discussed were the posilion and daties of the State. M. Vas- seur observed that at present the nation seemed to be made for the government, whereas the inverse is that which should exist. The government were a board of directors or managers, who bad no existence apart from society. They should merety execute the will of the People expressed in laws. The trans- port service sbould not be in the hands of Private pereons, but m the whole body of the people, and should be curried on at net cost, without a view to profits anddividends. The principal of capital punishment is reeudiated. As to property in land, the French and Italian delegut-s eupported the principle of individual property, toe Belgians upheld that of commen property. the English and Germans took more communistic views Nodecision was come '0 on the subject, which was adjourned til! next year. Bruseeis was fixed on as the next place of meeting esting to the Odd Fellows Among the resolutions adopted by the Grand Lodge of the United States, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, at the annual session held in New York last weex were the following: Resolved, That it shail not be legal to expel or suspend members of this Urder for non-pay- ment of dues.

A Merchant Sets Fire HE CONMITS SUICIDE AFTER EXAMINATZON. At bult pas! four o’clock this morning one of the officers ot the 17th precinct discovered 8 fire 1m the hatand fur store of Mr. Samuel Soucheimer, No. 155 Avenue A. The fire was under a back counter, and ignited in sucha way as to show the officer that it was the work of au incendiary 1t was evidently the iuten- tion of the incer diary to have the fire under full headway before an alarm could be given. After extinguishing the flames, the offiv>r made inguiries of the several persons on tre premiges. and ot Mr. Samuel Soucheimer, the Proprietor of the store, whom he suspected of baving caused the fire, as he was in the prem- ises but a few moments before it occurred. Mr. Soucheimer was taken to the 17th precinct station house, and confined to await anexami- tion this morning, before Fire Marshal Baker, on the charge of having set tire to his premises. Mr. Soucheimer had lately secured a heavy insurance on his stock in the Lorillard Insur- ance Company and in the Greenwich Insur- ance Oompany. The building wasowned by Jobn Black, and was ineured in the Germania Insurance Company for $6,000. At balf-past nine this morning Soucheimer was taken before Fire Marshal Baker for ex- amination. The evidence was strougly against him, and he was remanded to await ® farther investigation. Shortly after his return to the station house he committed suicide by shooting himself through the heart. Mr. Soucheimer ‘was a German, thirty-five years of age, and was 8 man of much respectability -NV. ¥. Post. Aw EXTRAORDINARY DiIvonce Case.—Fran- ces E. Sherman vs. Sidney Sherman. These parties bave been married about four years. ‘The wife sues fur & divorce from her husband on the ground that he has been unfaithtul to her. On their separation the defendant placed their child in the custody of his father, at Coxeackie. Mrs. Sherman endeavored to get possession of her offspring but was met wiih a refusal. She says also that her father-in-law made improper advances to her. Her counsel procured & writ of habeas corpus to produce the child before the Court. On the return of the writ, the father-in-law eet up an agree- ment, by the terms of which the child was to stay with bim until its twenty-first year. This being denied, and the mother claiming right to possession, Mr. Justice Clarke ordered testi- mony to be taker. The evidence of Mrs. Sherman shows that the parties separated about a year ago. That rhe had repeatedly called to see her. child, when her husband's father would attemptim- proper liberties with her. and request her not to tell ber busband about it.

PRACTICAL CHRISTIANITY. — Bi-hop T well preached a sermon lately at S'. Johns, Ham- meremitb, in which he said he must humbly but firmly declare his conviction that if tha masses at home are ever to be won back to the Chureb it must be by communities of both men and women living by rule (for that was the mesning of a canon, very different to the degenerate custom of modern chapters), and working in their midst. Since he had been ateent further secularisation of our ancimnt uriversities had taken place. and the real idea of the collegiate system was almost lost. He trusted the subject would not be over- looked at the approaching Pan-Anglican Sy - nod.

Mr. Ernest Jones recently made 4a speech on ietorm in Dublin. and gave some ures to show bow the land monopolists hold the soil. In the three kingdoms there are seventy-one million acres, and only thirty thousand landlords. The Duke of Uleveland can ride twenty-three miles through bis own estate; the Duke of Devonshire has ninety- six thousand acres in the county of Derby alone: the Duke of Richmond possesses three bundred and forty thousand acres; and the Marquis of Breadalbane can ride one hundred miles in @ straight line through his property from his,own hpuse door. Thirty thousand men say to thifly millions, “Here you shall walk, and here you chall not: nere you shall build, and there you shall not; here you shall live and die, and nowhere else, because it is | our will.” There are only eighteen million | acres under tillage; twenty-six million are un- touched by plough or spade, aud lie waste tor all agricultural and almost afl pastural pur- pores. DgatH oF A WEALTHY Citizen or Lovrsi- Aawa.—George W. Graves, of Ascension parish, La, died on the isth day of July last, aged 52 years, leaving behind him an estate valued at 3176 000. Mr. Graves was a native of Clarke county, Va.,and had emigrated to Lovisiana im 1637, where he lived until the time of his death. Previous to the war Mr. Graves was worth about $1,500,000, but the war caused him heavy losses. He had seven brothers and sisters residing near Sharpsburg, in this county, end another brother in Memphis, Tenn., to waom he bas left his entire ectate, which is to be equally divided among them. Mr. 0. C. Graves, one of the brothers, and a contractor on the Western Marylana Railroad, bas just recently returned from Loutiana, where he had gone to investigate his brother’s affairs, from Whom we bave the above facts.

THE FERspNEN’s VOTRAT RICHMOND.—The first occasion on which the freedmen have yoted in Virginia was on the question whether the city of Richmond should subscribe £2,000,- 000 to the stock of the Obesapeake and Ohio Railrosd Company. The white vote for the subscription was 555, against it 169. The col- ored vote was 2.672 for, 9 against. The legality of the colored vote is questioned by some. but even without it there is a large white majority im favor of the measure. The white vote is the largest ever given on & similar question in Richmond, but is, of course, no indication of the number of the white voting population. In the Presidential election of 1560 the yote of Richmond was 4,222.
