if The ueena of the Jungles Before Commissioner Stone. As in these times of extraordinary 'financial pressure, corporalipn is as hard run for money "any other maa," it occurred to the city officials to call on the aristocracy of the jangles for their fro rata of contributions to the support of tho municipal government. A' raid was therefore made by the police in the direction referred to, Tuesday night with a most profitable result in a pecuniary point of view. At the session of the Commis- outrageously lnsuueo. ana mjuieu ay foreign despots, as highly culpable and unprecedented; jicsowea, rnai wo cau upon iue congress of the United States now in session, to take such measures as to preserve the honor of American citizenship, for all time to come from all stain and reproach, and all injustice emanating from kings or despot! in any part or tne worm, no mailer what their nretentions or by.

And wnereos, claims tne allegiance of every one born under her flag, and by the operation of that claim, our fellow-citizen Colonel Warren, of Massachusetts, was sentenced to fifteen years penal servitude, tor speeches made in the city of New York, and every citizen of the United States, if having been born on English soil and captured in a war with England, would be liable to the penalty of death; therefore be it Resolved, That we regard the treatment of England toward our fellow citizens whom she has incarcerated in noisome cells, and afterward abused in a most shameful and insulting manner, regardless of all principles of right or decency, as being of such a character as necessitates ample reparation. Be it further Resolved, That it is of the utmost importance to the adopted citizens of the Republic that the Government, and at once, settle the question of allegiance and dispose of the arrogant claims of European powers" in this respect. Resolved, That ill men have the inalienable right to choose for themselves the place on earth upon which to dwell, and the Government under which they their armies adopted citizens of the United States, while they are on visits to the places of their birth, is a wrong which demands the immediate attention of the State Department at Washington, and must not be tolerated longer; that no foreign power has a right, to demand allegiance or military ''service from one who has declared his intention to. become, or who has been' for ears, a citizen of the United States.

Resoloed, Srther, That we request the General Assembly of the State of Tennessee to give the expression of the people, in a 1 suitable manner, in relation to the status of adopted citizens of the United States. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be transmitted to the General Assembly of the St'te of Tennessee, and to our Senators and Representatives in Congress. After the reading of the resolutions, in response to loud calls, Chancellor H. H. Harrison, took the stand.

He fully indorsed, he said, the resolutions just read. They are timely and to the point. It may have been that in lime past our Government has been controlled by a timid and conservative course in its intercourse with other Governmsnts. A prudent policy may have suggested this course. The time has now come, however, and the circumstances are such, that our Government, one of the fir6t, if not the very firs1 on face the globe, must afford ample protection to its citizens in England, Ireland and everywhere else.

Protection goes hand in hand with allegiance. The citizen is bound to maintain the dignity and authority of the Government to which he owe3 alleciancr and the Government is equally, bonnd to protect such citizen, be he native or naturalized, in all his just rights. A foreign war is very much to be deprecated at any time, and especially at the present but with all this, it is the bounden duty of our Government to protect the meanest of its citizens, no'matter where he may be found, even though war shon'd be the consequence. If a foreign wur "snounf would De likely to have one good effect, that of- closely uniting those who had been at war among themselves during the late civil strife. He sincerely hoped that the Legislature, after its re-assemblicg in a few days, would adopt strong resolutions asking the General Government to resent the wrongs of those naturalized citizens who may have been mistreated abroad.

Judge Harrison was closely listened to throughout, his remarks eliciting repeated bursts of applause. Mr. Frank E. Williams was the next speaker. Ho indorsed the resolutions in every iota, considering them quite pertinent and timely at the present juncture.

Strongly deprecating the course of Great Britian in imprisoning and ill using citizens of the Republic, he hoped our Government would assert its power, and protect its ciliz-sns in every clime, at home and abroad. D. W. Peabody, spoke with spirit and fervor of the wrongs endnred by American citizens- in British dungeons, lie named a few of the more prominent ones who were now incarcerated, and hoped that our Government would assert its dignity and power, and peremptorily demand the release of those men. War is to be deprecated, as other speakers have said, but sooner than that our Government should he humiliated by foreign tyrants, in impressing and oppressing Its subjects, war could not come a minute too soon.

Citizens of the Republic must be protected at all hazards. Mr. John Ruhm said that, while Eng land took the unenviable prominence of oppressing American citizens, petty German tyrants have been exercising the saun sort of tyranny. He knew of a number of American citizens who had been imprisoned in fatherland and the time had come, he thought, when the United States Government should come to the rescue -of its citizens. He blamed Mr.

Seward mainly for Ihe non-interference of our Government while American citizens have been pining in foreign dnngcons. Mr. member of the House of Representatives, was the next speaker. Herepeated what had already been said, that the Government was bonnd to pro -tect its adopted citizens, even though war should be the consequence. Mr.

D. Glassie "spoke briefly to the same effect and added that his services would be freely offered whenever the Government should undertake to resent the wrongs inflicted by England. Judge Glenn said that the doctrine, once a subject always a snbject, was simply monstrous. It is solemnly binding on the Government to protect its citizens now suffering in foreign dungeons. A letter was read from Hon.

S. A. Hamilton, member of the House from Shelby County, regretting his inability to be present, (but fully sympathising with the objects of the meeting, Colonel Lawless introduced the following resolution, wnich was adopted That the thanks of this be tendered the House of Representatives for the use of their ball on this occasion. On motion the meeting adjourned. Comralssoner's Conrt.

W. Thompson, a soldier of the 45lh, and recently roleosed from the Workhouse, was fined $50 and costs for assaulting Hattie Ford, and $10 and costs for threatening to shout his wife. Thomas Collinsworlh, arrested for threatening to. shoot Sam. Wilson, failed to appear and forfeited his bond.

A Correct Version of its Origin and Result. The city was filled with" exciting rn- -with reifard to a collision hichbecurred between whites and blacks at Pulaski, last Tuesday, tfrom residents of that place who saw the whole.affair, as well as from letters and dispatches, we get the following details, which are believed to be circumstantially correct During-the early part of last fall a negro named Calvin Carter, entered the family grocery store of Mr. J. C. Lambeth, while in a drunken condition.

Ho behaved himself in a very unseemly manner and was ordered out, but, offering resis'ance, he was first knocked down, by Mr. Lambeth, and then ejected from 'the store. Several times subsequently he was heard uttering threats against Mr. Lambeth, and swearing that' he would have revenge. A few days since he was met by who called him to account therefor, and gave, him a thrashing.

This had no effect on the negro, who grew more in. his menaces. On Tuesday afternoon, about 2 o'clock, he gathered some six or eight of his comades at a drinkmg saloon, immediately opposite Mr. Lambeth's and, when the latter showed himself at the door, fired upon him with a pistol. The latter had nn 'tiwil 'thp nlinr.

part of his friends, who had immediately hastened to. his assistance. A. hot skirmish ensued, in which firing was kept up by both sides for some minutes, and about sixty shots were fired some say more. During the melee, Carter and a colored bricklayer named Orange Rhodes, were 1 mortally wounded.

The latter died yesterday morning and the former was, at last accounts, not expected to survive many hours. With the exception of a Mr. Mc-Lemore, of Spring Hill, who had a finger shot of the whiteB were injured. Four other negroes besides those named received painful but not fatal wounds. By the strenurous exertions of influen tial persons of both colors, order was finally restored; The excitement was intense, hut a strong patrol was placed upon the streets and further demonstrations thus prevented.

It was feared that the frieuds of Carter and Rhodes would renew the con test at night, but such a catastrophe was happily averted by the precautions which were taken. As far as we can learn there was no general disposition evinced on the part of the colored people to participate in the affair. The majority of them were, however, known to be armed, and the whites had also made due preparations in case a "war of races" Bhould develop itself. Mr. Lambeth is known throughout his section of country as a young man -of quiet habits and peaceable disposition.

Carter was, on the contrary, regarded as a desperado with whom it was extremely dangerous to have a difficnlty. AJBTfSTEBIOm AFFAIR. Tne Child of a Nashville Mnnager Supposed to have been Poisoned by its Nurse. From the Louisville Courier of yeste r-day we gather the particulars of a highly mysterious affair, with which parties well known in this city were coanected. On New Year's.

eve a social party was given Mra. Campbell, on-the corner of Fifth and Green streets. Mrs. A. J.

Flynn, who was temporarily residing in the house, joined in the festivities, leaving her infant daughter, a child about seven months old, in the care of a negro woman who had been in her employ for some time. At about twelve o'clock that night the negro took the child up stairs for the purpose of putting it to bed. When the festivities had ended. Mrs. Flynn returned to her room and bed.

During the morning, noticing that the child was breathing strongly, a physician called mrwhn, after an examination, stated that the child was suffering. from an overdose of some opiate. Dr. Yandell and other physicians were afterward called in, and gave the same opinion. The child lingered until about Bix o'clock that evening, when death relieved it from its suffering.

A vial containine a potion of laudanum was found in a closet in the room. The negro girl, when questioned, denied having given the child anything, but stated that she had left it for abont two hours in the care of a white girl who had been serving lor airs. Campbell, and that alter, that time the child cried bitterly. Mrs. Flynn had nothing of the sort in tier possession, and has not the slightest idea of where the opiate was obtained, or by whom administered.

A post mortjm examination was suggested, but the feeling of the grief stricken parents revolted at the idea of the mutilation necessary to such an examination, and the body of the child was placed in the vault at the cemetery. Some of their friends still urge that a further investigation of the affair should be made, and it was probable that a post mortem examination will be made yesterday. Mr. Flynn was absent in this city at the time, and did not arrive in Louisville until after the death of the child. THE PROTESTANT ORPHAN AST-liTJM.

A Few Sensible Suggestions to Small Givers. To the Editor of the Bonner. Would it not be well to remind our citizens and friends in the country, that small gifts are acceptable as donations to the Protestant Orphan Asylum. A supply of provisions from one, 1 OOfrom another, $25 from another, a box of shoes from one of onr merchants, a bolt Of calico from a teacher and pupils, a dozen chickens from a sincere friend, and a package of good second band clothing from another, are some of our Christmas gifts this season. With a groat deal of pleasure we record the acknowledgement of the receipt byTmo of our managers of the following cote and its conterts.

It not only shows the sympathy which prompted the benevolent project, but may incite others to do what they can for the orphans. Mbs. H. G. Soovel, Secretary.

There has been a good attendance and some "spirited The sale will be continued to-day, begin-ingat 10 o'clock, Stirring Speeches Made and Strong Resolutions, Adopted The 'Govern-' ment Requested to Come to the res-cue of its Imprisoned Cltisens Abroad. The meeting at the Capitol last night was large in point of numbers; and remarkably spirited in the way of feeling and enthusiasm. It was called for the pnrposo of formally protesting against the wrongs inflicted on adopted American citizens by foreign powers, and also to appeal to the United States Government to afford protection to such citizens.

The larger portion of those present were Irishmen. The irrcspressible African, strange as it may Bound, was also numerously represented and appeared to enter into the spirit of the thing manifesting plenty of sympathy, as the wrongs of Irishmen were eloquently recounted." About half-past seven o'clock the meeting was called to order by Judge Glenn, who nominated Hon. F. S. Richards, Speaker of the House of Representatives, as Chairman.

The nomination was concurred in, as were also the following list of Vice Presidents A. E. Alden, Adolph Nelson, M. Mc-Cormack, Thos. Connors, 1).

-Brown being loudly called for, came foiward, and in a very eloquent manner addressed fne assem blage. After referring to the object for wn'cn tne meeting was called together, he declared as his starting point that natura'ized citizens had just the same rights as native born citizens. Indeed, at the present time, be jocularly remarked, Irish Americans had rights which a great many of us have not. But that was not the point. He was not awaro of the extent to which foreign born citizens had been mistreated by Governments to which they had renounced their allegiance.

But he had read in the papers of a num ber of such instances, and did not doubt that the accounts were correct. Against these things, all of us, as citizens of the United States have a light, are bound, in fact, to protest. The theory that once' a subject always a subject has been effect ually exploded, and Great Britain has really no more claim to a citizen, who has renounced his allegiance, than she has on any of us born here in Tennessee. England commits an outrage when she inflicts any penalty any degradation whatever on an Irishman who has once declared bis allegiance to. the United States.

Irishmen, al though they cannot help loving the land of their birth, as a general thing loathe the Government of Great Britain, considering it the synonym of oppression and wrong. Numbers of them, therefore, whilo detesting the British Government, still wish to-visit the Ecenes rhildhnnd ilw" Irish or Germans cannot forget their birthplace, and ibis, is why so man; re-cross the Atlintic. Just here is where the outrages originate, against which this meeting is called to protest. A few thousand -years ago it used to be the boost of the old Roman to say "I am a lioman citizen." That was sufficient to secure him protection in every clime and in every land. Why does not the great Government of the United States command the same respect, exercise the same paternal care over its citizens as did the Roman Republic.

This is the question. Citizens of the United States, German and Irish, especially the latter, have been outrageously mistreated abroad, and yet no protection has been afforded by the Government that should have been bound to come to the rescue. It was at least the duty of this Government to see that an international treaty was brought about by which some foreign Governments would have noclaim overour naturalzed citizens. This is what is mainly needed, a binding treaty, which, after all, is better than war. But whether a treaty caa be formd or notit is the bounden duty of this Government to protect its citizens at all hazards, no matter where they may be fouud.

Good faith on part of the Government is necessary to secure the proper allegience, and respect of the citizens. It is a question of good faith on both sides, the citizens, naturalized or otherwise, owing allegiance, and the Government hound afford protection. The fact of it is that this question, be-becoming dclicats and intricate-as it is, must be settled before these foreign outrages can be much longer inflicted. Has it got to this, that our naturalized citizens must be picked up on British soil as icnegades iind thrust into prison? Surely the time for redress has arrived. For one Irish-American, for one Germsn who now visits his fatherland, ten would xecross the Atlantic to visit old scenes, if perfectly satisfied that the Government to which they have sworn allegiance would afford them the protection they are enti led to.

Public sentiment must insist on a chaDge insist that a Government exercising control over thirty mdlions of people, shall protect and do justice to its citizens wherever found. No man can read of the war of 1812 without being afforded a wholesome lesson on the very subject under consideration. British tyranny and insolence run riot; American citizens were snapped up and imprisoned without warning or provoca tion, until at nt our Government could not brook the insult any longer, and war was the result The same provocation may not Have been offered at the present juncture but no matter about that, American, citizens, native or adopted, must be protected under all circumstances At the conclusion of Governor Brown's speech, the following resolutions, which werereadbyMr. McKinley, wereadopted unanimously: Whebeas, It is the duty of the Government of the United Stales to protect its citizens from injustice and wrong of whatever kind or by whomsoever inflicted. And Wheseas, It bos become evident -that-many of our fellow-citizens whilst traveling in Europe have been made the victims of oppressive laws ta which they were not in any way amenable, and were subjected to treatment at once barbarous in its nature and degrading tu the hitherto high character of American citizenship; therefore be it Resolved, That we consider the conduct of our Government in neglcctling to Judge W.

A. Glenn presiding. A petition from Rev. W. E.

Ward, that the State and County taxes be remitted in the' case of his Female Seminary, was at first rejected, but the vote was subsequently reconsidered and the matter referred to Judge Glenn for investigation, with instructions to: strike the lax off if the property be found to be exempt by law. The petition of N. E. Alloway, to the effect that his land in the ISth district was overassessed, praying that half the tax be taken off, and offering to sell his interest in the land for one-half the amount for which it was appraised, was rejected, and a committee composed of Esquires Maxey, Jno. 'Taylor and'yJL Gray appointed to ascertain whether Mr.

Alloway will accept for his interest half of the appraised value. A petition from Hamilton Fulghum, hotel keepers, to have certain taxes refunded, was granted. The petition of M. G.JL Claiborne, with regard to taxes overassessed on his land in the iBth and 9th districts, was referred to Judge Glenn and the Assessor ot the 15th district. The bill of John Ruhm for advertising elections was not'allowed, on the ground that the State was not responsible there- JSsquire maxev onerea a resoiOHon, which was' adopted, authorizing the Jail Commissioners to establish a Work-house for the county.

The same Magistrate also offered a resolution, which which was adopted, for the appointment of a committee of three members of the Court, to act with a committee of the City Council, for the establishment of a joint Alms-house. Pathenia Allen, pauper, was granted ten dollars. Esquire Meacham offered a resolution, which was adopted, authorizing the repair of the tenements connected with the Jail, as recommended by the Jail Commissioners. The petition of Harrington Boyd, proprietors of the old Thomas Hickman ferry, for a increase of rates, was rejected. Esquire Maxey offered a resolution of thanks to Esquire Meacham, for his uni form courtesy and efficiency as a member of the Court, which was unanimously adopted.

The remainder of the session was taken up with the appointment of Road Over seers and the consideration of road cases, among which was one involving the ex tension of Woodland street, Edgefield. jury in the case reported in favor of paying Mr. Blood $400 for damages sus tained in the extension of the street. Af ter considerable discussion the report was confirmed, with the reservation that the county was to be put to no expeose what ever, and that the width of the street was not to exceed twenty feet, as far as the county was concerned. Dnring the debate Esquire Meacham remarked that if the people of Edgefield wanted city privileges, they Bhould get incorporated, and thus take the expense of improvement on their own shoulders, without expecting the county to bear the burden.

Court adjourned to the second Monday in March. Disgraceful Proceedings in the War ren County Convention. The scenes which disgraced the Radical Convention recently held in our city were repeated at McMinnville last Monday, when an attempt was made to nominate county officers. Baker, an officer ot the Senate and editor of the Enterprise, be ing desirous of securing his son's nomi nation as Register, furnished a negro leaguer, as we learn, with funds for that purpose. When the Mass Convention met, one Park, who aspired to the same office, charged that Bjker had been buy-ins up the votes of the party.

Baker retorted that Park was an "infamous liar." The insult was pocketed for the time being, but as soon as the nominations had been completed, and Baker had carried his point Park placed on the stand Baker's negro go-between, who confessed that he had actually thrown out his employer's money' in the manner charged. Park felt that bis opportunity had come. Rising. from his seat he screamed, "I denounce Baker as a dirty, infamous liar, and if I wasn't a cripple, I'd throw him out of the window." Here followed con-fasicn ineffable, and the Convention broke up, to use a phrase, in a row." Abont half of the negroes present, and a few mean whites," immediately called a Mass Convention at the Court-house, when Baker was denounced, his nominations repudiated nnd new candidates trotted oat. From all present indications the Radical party in Warren County bos hopelessly collapsed.

A BRACE OF SHARPERS. Cool Operations in.Stolcn Horses and Counterfeit Money. R. Hess and James Fittman were arrested Tuesday night, on charges of a serious nature horse stealing and passing counterfeit money. Hess 'peached on his comrade, and told about the following story.

They were returning from Law-renceburg to Mt. Pleasant, a few days since, when Hess, who had fallen behind, was accosted by some drovers, with the demand that he "mike good" a $100 bill which had just been passed upon them by his "pardner," Pittman. As the ultimatum was backed by two or three cockek pistols, Hess thought it prudent to fork over, and did so. Their business in Lawrcncs County was, Hess admitted, stealing horses. One animal was left at Columbia.

As he was returning home on foot he met a darkey driving a wagon, behind whieh was hitched a saddle horse. After getting into Sambo's good graces, he mounted the steed and, pretending that he wished to ride ahead to the toll gate, got out of sight and took across the country. He had a con. ference with Pittman the same night and the two attempted to sell the horse, which belonged, by the way, to Mr. John F.

Parr, of Williamson County. In the meantime, the negro had reached town and informed his master. The police were put on the scent and both of the sharp-witted scoundrels arrested. Commissioner Stone sent Hess to jail in default of $5000 bail for his appearance before the Criminal Court. The case of Pittman was continued, as there are numerous complaints against him for passing counterfeit mopey.

He- was committed, security ior bis further appearance. Postponed. The Orownatein perjury case has been postponed to Friday morning before Esq. Wilkinson. THE PITY.
