To-morrow the people of this city are called npon to decided whether the streets and alleys of Nashville are to bo ranged uci m me luiure Dy aroves or .ean, lamr. pointed-nosed, slab-sided bogs and. their u- augy piugeny, or to do aevoteu to ine same uses they are in other cities. Let the course of the faithful few la the City Coun cil, who have libored so earnestly in the best interests of the city in this connection, receive an overwhelming endorsement at the ballot box to-morrow. The advantages to be gained thereby are bo apparent that it would be-n insult to the sound sense of our readers to recount them, but wo do wish tho people of Nashville to bear in mind that th? question of "Hog, or No Hog," is to b6 disp. sed of by themselves to-morrow. Liberal. We clip the following from the Memphis Jfeflrirfcr of the 24tb: "Col. J. J. Murphy, of our city, received tho following letter yeaterday morning: 'N-&HviiaLE, Sept. 22, 1873, 41 North Vine street. Col. J. J. Murphy, Dear Sir I inc'ose one hundred dollars, to be ex pended under the direction of tha Howard Association, for tha relief of our suffering fellow-citizens at Memphis. 'Yours truly, Jomr M. Lea.' "Tee generous sympathy of Mr. Lea Is fully appreciated by our citizens, and is a lasting rebuke to those residents who not only have taken themselves away but also have taken all their money with them, en tirely forget'ing or ignoring tha distress and sufferings of their fellow Memphiana." QnallUcatloa of Voters. Tho 16ih section of tha Act of tho Gene ral Assombly, and which was passed as an a-nenJment of the charier, provides that 4 the voters shall vote by ballot, every white male of the age of 21 years and upwards being entitled to voto by tho lawa of this State, who shall havo resided within the city limits six months next preceding tho. election at which he may offer to vote, shall bo entitled to vote; but only In the Ward where he resides." s Tha general law of the State in reference to all corporations (see Thompson & Steger, sec. 1,300,) is, that "all persons owning real estate within such corporation, all persons living therein and who have been residents thereof six months previous to said election and who are entitled to vols for members of the General Assembly, shall be entitled to vote." Non-resident property owners are re quired to own their property six months before election. Personal. Mr. Tom Pritchett, lata of Murfreesboro pipers, and who has been engaged for the past three months as Advance Advertising Agent by P. T.

Casey, Wheeling, West Vir ginia, were among the arrivals at the Max well House on yesterday.. About a Hog. The following biographical sketch, fur nished by a reader of ths Union .nd Amebioan one whose heart is always open to the claims of all deserving crea tures, will bo read with peculiar and solemn Interest by tho thousands who daily draw inspiration from our columns: To the Union and American: Nashville, Sept. 25, 1S7S If anything could appeal to the tender sympathies of the public in tbeir pitiless onslaught upo n the hogs, it would bo the unhappy condi tion of an old razor-blade favorite of ours ui4i -aviate -pattern, with flatted sides, that has for years been a frequent visitor to our alley. She has a wonderful look, and from her appearance of lste, we presume she feels down hearted. 'Tis almost heartrending to be hold her with her ten little one3 hovering around her looking for sympathy. To see her eyes fill with tears when soma bystand er carelessly speskj of the Hog Law, would melt a heart of stone. For years she has piloted tho street overseer to mud holes in the street, and we have seen her many times marching in front of the carts, stopping oc casionally to wallow in tha holes in side walks and gutters and doing all this merely as an accommodation, and without hops of reward. Upon receiving a smile from the street overseer, she would give her tail an extra twist and with renewed vigor would hunt, another hole in which to wallow and wait for the cart, upon the arrival of which she would go for another, and so on. She seems to partially realize the fact that she is doomed, and must henceforth seek the country where there are no sidewalks or gutters. Who will look after tho slops vhen she Is gone? She never injured a soul and there never was a gentler being of her peculiar species So docile and so patient. P. S. While taking her evening nip to day, a black boy whispered "hog law" in her ear, which p'.ece of impudence enraged her to such an extent that ere be could make good his escape she took a chunk out of one of his lower limbs. She will be bound ovfr to keep the peace. The boy was served just right. T. POLICE PICKINGS. Dilsey Davis is tho very appropriate n.mo to which a colored girl, charged with disor derly conduct, answered at the Police Court yesterday. "Dilsey" is a draggled, slip-shod sort of a name, ana uusey uavis is a drag gled, slip-shod sort of a girl, and if she ever had a noble thought in her life,'' she must have felt uneasy until she succeeded in banishing it; but one could hardly believe it possible she ever had any experience of that kind. The special offence she was called upon to answer for yesterday con sisted iu her wafting a rock at a small child a nurso was hauling around in a baby-carriage. Dilsey will wafc rocks at the work house until sho has paid a ten dollar fine. Agnes Shed shed tho briny quite copious ly when asked to explain why she got drunk the day before, and her mezzo-soprano voice trembled with emotion as she stated this was the first time she had ever been brought before the court on the charge of druukenness, tnd upon her making the most earnest promises of reformation, she was discharged with much pood advice. Mandy Clark is a character better known in Nashville Police circles than among tho upper ten of tho city. Sho is a muscular, clnger-colored female, with peculiar talent as a swearist, and abundantly able to take care of herself in a rough-and-tumble fight, and in addition to these accomplish ments, sho is able to conceal about her per son a considerable amount of whisky, without showing any bad effects. Sho was b ought up yesterday on the charge of using abusive language, but the case was con tinued until this morning, on account of the absence of witnesses. THE l'JlIlaOSOPKX OF CHEAP. JSESS. From tho Knoxville Press and Herald. Makwille, Sept. 23 The train on yesterday for tho camp meeting was crowd ed, owing altogether to the half fare rates. Now, why is It, that on all occasions when half fare Is announced the train Is crowded? This is universally tho case. At least fivo to one go who would not if thoy had to pay full fare. Then why not havo half fare all tho time? Let it bo annonnced that our train will run at half fare for one week an 1 at tho end of that week tho amount re ceived will be fivo times what it would have been at full fare. Tho mere idea of half faro is a big thing, and hundreds will go who havo no business, provided they can go at half fare. It is natural for people to buy a tMDg, whether they need it or not, provi ded they aro offered it at bslf prica. Then, wa say, reduce the fare on tho road from here to Knoxville, at least one day in every week, and our word for it the fare received on that day, (if generally known) will far exceed the balance of the week. It is strange tho managers of the road have never thought of this plan. A. Waud.Ji,. THE FINANCIAL CRISIS. It Readies NaglivllIe-SaspeHsloa ef Our National Banks. Considerable excitement prevailed throughout the city yesterday morning when it was mada known-that our four National Banka bad suspended. Before, there was time to reflect upou tha action taken, there was a good deal of unnecessary alarm, but all sensible people upon taking thaBecond sober thought, agreed that It was eminently proper to pursue tile couro they did. When panics occur, such as commenced several days ago In Now Yorlr, and which has extended more or less to the principal cities, confidence is shaken, and tho people throughout the entire country become mora or less uneasy as to the result. Tha first exhibition of a panacy feeling here was no ticed yesterday, when a considerable num ber of depositors In tha Second and Third National Banks made a run on those re spective establishments, and within two hours upwards of $100,000 had been drawn out of the latter, and the cash on hand of tha latter reduced to a comparatively small amount. Knowing what would necessarily follow if such extensive runs were contin ued for any length of lime, tie officers of tho different banks quietly assembled togeth, er and after consultation for a short time, wisely came to tho conclusion that it would bo better for tho commercial relations of Nashville that suspension should follow Im mediately. The representatives of tbo dif ferent banks expressed tho opinion that they were able to stand anything like an ordina ry run, but If a demand was mado for all the deposits in a day or two, they would bo compelled to make great sacrifices In order to meet tha crisis. So quietly had the In terview been conducted that the suspsnslon was not known until tha following notice was found posted on the doors of each of these Institutions: In view of tha monetary crisis and sus pension of the New York, and other city banks, and also in view of the welfare of our various friends and customers, It Is hereby agreed by the four National Banks of this city that wo suspand currency pay ment on all balances exceeding two hun dred dollars. Signed Jab. Whitwobth, Pres't. Jab. McLaughlin, Pres't. W. W. Beiuiy, Pres't. A. G. Ewxkg, for 1st Nat. Bank. The annonncsment, of course, was unex pected and created considerable uneasiness until the people had time to reflect upon the course pursued, when tho unanimous verdict of tha commercial community was in favor of the acticn taken, and quiet and confidence was in a great manner restored. Last evening our business men were to be seen making their deposits as usual, and no one seemed to doubt tho ability of each institution to resume as early as any bauk3 In tha countrv. Elsewhere will ba found the action of the Board of Tradef in which tho course taken by the Banks Is sus tained. CHEAP. Three Hundred and Sixty Boilers for a Husband. About two years ?go a laborer employed by the corporation, was killed while so em ployed, leaving a widow and six children, the eldest of whom is subject to fits, in des titute circumstances. The widow bad her recourse at law, and it is possible she might have recovered damages, but she was in duced by friends to apply for a monthly allowance from the city instead of bringing suit for damages, and for two years she has received $15 per month from the corporation, to assist in raising her family of small children, tha aliowanco being voted by the City Council for a year at a time, the total amount thus received so far, being 300. At the last meeting of tha Board of Alder- men, Mr. Gleaves presented tho woman's petition for a continuance of the allowance for another year, and npon a full represen tation of the facts In the case being mado known by Mr. oleaves, and substantiated by Recorder Duling, to whom she is well known, that body promptly granted ber pe tition. Yesterday tha action of the Board of Aldermen camo before the Common Council for his approval, and that body, in a sudden attack of economy, re fnsd to concur In the action of tho other board, thereby saving to the city the sum of $16 per month for the ensuing twelve months. The facts in tho cise were again fully explained by Judge Duling, who stated that the applicant was a worthy, hard work ing woman who was striving to support lorself and her family of six children, none of whom were large enough to render her much assistance. In answer to the state ment by one of tho councilman, that she had mairied lately and that ber husband was abundantly able to support her, Judge Doling said that she married a widower who had several small children of his own, that he was entirely without means and worked as a day laborer at the Chattanooga shops forS2.2-'5 per day. If this petition had been bi ought before tho Board a month ago, it would have been granted, in all probability, but tho members were in an unusually economical mood yes terday, and sternly voted down nearly ev ery proposition for the expenditure of mon ey brought before it. The esse referred to is one in which tha applicant is justly enti tled to all she asks at the hands of the cor poration, and it is to be hoped some fair minded member of tha incoming City CouncilVill introduce a bill civing her tho sum sha asks for the twelve months ono hundred and eighty dollars. A Sanitary Jleasnre, Among the membors of the Board of Common Council now retiring from public service, none have been more active anu efficient than Dr. Atchison. Ever In the van of Drocress. his actions have been char acterized by a duo consideration for the views of those who saw fit to differ with him, and his course has been such as to se cure him the esteem and conuuenca oi nis brother members, while be has novor faited to look closely after the best interests of not only bis own Ward, but of tho city at large. He has been specially zealous to advoca tinc all measures tending to build up tho city, and attract thereto the riaht class of people from abroad. He Introduced, soma time ago, a bill providing for the establish ment of a syBtein of sewerage, which woma havo baen of immense advantage to Nashville if it could have been carried out, as it will be in tho course of time, but tho bill was re jected after having pissed two readings. Ho has introduced a number of other im portant bills, his Ust days in office being occupied in drafting the following which will be acted upon by the incoming Doara: A bill for the preservation of the public health, and for other purposes: Sec 1. Be it enacted by the Mayor and City Council of Nashville, that it sha !l be unlawful for any person to throw upon Ihe streets, or alleys of Nashville, any garbages, kitchen slops, or vegetables or animal sub stances, but jlhe same shall ha placed In buckets which shall be kept hv each head of a family for that purpose, and said buck et or vessel with the contents shall be placed at or near tho alley immediately in the rear of their respective domicil, to tho end that may bo conveniently removed by carts provided for that purpose. Sec 2. Said buckets or vessels shall be placed at the place designated by or before the hour of ten o'clockjA. m. each and ev ery day. Sec 3.

The contractor sball enter into bond with sufficient security for the faithful performance of his obligations. Sec 9. This act to take effect from and after tho 1st day of Oct. 1S73. THE B0AKD OP TBADE. a-tCoHforeHce with the Baakers of tho 1 City. The Financial Situation Debated. Tho Course or .tho BSBRsIIEnflorsed. A called meeting of tha Nashville Board of Trade was held at 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon In tha office of the Commercial Insurance Company, frefildentH. C. Hens ley jn tho chair, and R. L. Armisleaci Secre tary. President Hensley staled tho object was to confer with the bank officers as to what wa3 bestg toiba;donejmider exlstlcg circum stances. , Judge "Whltwrrth, President of tha Fourth National Bank, being called upon, said tho present ctate of affairs was a novel one to him. He had never seen anything like it. Ha was hero to consult with the business men as to what was best to be done. Tho banks he thought were entirely solv ent and able within a very ehorttime to meet all their obligations, but could not do it in a day without a great sacrifice oJ their means and a total destruction of the Jtrado of the community or tha time. Af er a consultation with all the National Binks it wasj sgreed that they shou'd par tially suspend payment on all balance?; over $200, but with this understanding that all deposits made after' that hour should be paid In full and the business in all respects to far as tbo public was conceived should bo conducted just as it was bsfore tho suspsn sion, trusting to tho collection of means due tha banks and such cash means as they have m bank to pay.olTtheir depositors in full, which be felt confident could be done in a short time. The banks expect to go on as usual and take bills of exchange drawn agsiu3t shipments to the extent of their ability, which he believed would bo sufficient to meet the wants of the mercan tile community. Ha said ha had been ask ed if a check given by a bank here on a bank in New York was not honored, then what would be tha result. He replied up on tho return of tho check dishonored, it would bo taien up and paldiby tho bank is suing it. Tha alternative was presented this day to the banks, as he believed, to tako the course they have taken or to be so crippled by a run of their depositors as to bo unable to afford the mercantile community any facilities in conducting tbeir business or handllni the produce of the country. Mr. Hensley asked the question of Judge Whitworth whether some arrangement could not be made by the banks by which settlements could be madtj between rcer chanls dealing with tha banks by means of certified checks. In reply to which he stated that ha had no doubt it could, but no plan had yet been formally adcptedby the banks looking to that end. And also sail that with an ap preciation of the silualiou by loth " mer chants and bankers, there would not be much difficulty in carrying forward the trade and commerce of the country. Mr. Edgar Jones, Cashier of the Third National Bank, endoraed folly tha remarks made by Judge Whitworth and rerernng to the question of certified checks, said he pre sumed some system would be adapted of that sort, for all settlements between banks belonging to the Clearing House Associa tion in New i: ork were made by ceruneu checks, Mr. John W. Terrass wished to know if the banks would furnish facilities for tho moving of produce as usual. In response to which the ofihers of tho several banks present stated that .that was the ob- jict of the partial suspension, and that every facility in that direction fetba banka could afford, would bo given. Mr. Jas. A. McLaughlin, President of the Second National Bank, in a few brief re marks fully endorsel the statements made by Judge Whitworth and Edgar Jones, Esq. Mr. T. D.,Craighead.offered the following resolutions : Resolved, that tho Board of Trade sanc tion the action taken by the banks to-day, believing it to be the wisest measure that could be inaugurated. " Resolved, that wo continue as usual to deposit from time to time in the banks and render them all the assistance in our power; and that our confidence in our financial institutions remains unimpaired. The resolutions wero adopted by-noola.-mation, without a dissenting voice, and tho meeting adjourned. Tribute of Bespect to the I-nto Dr. J. D. Winston. At a meeting of the physicians of the City of Nashville held on Sept. 25, 1873, at the office of Drs. Brlegs and Niehol, Dr. Atchison being in the chair, Dr. Atchison made the following remarks: John Dudley Winston was born in Louka county, Virgiuia, Oct. 2, 1S05, and emigra ted with his parents to Green county, Ky., In 1810, where he resided until he complet ed his medical education. He attended both his courses of lectures at Transylva nia University, where he was graduated, 1827. As special student of his celebrated kinsman, P;of. Dudley, he enjoyed unusual opportunities, of which he fully availed himself. Ho commenced the practice of his profession in Columbia, Ky., where he eujoyed a large and lucrative practice in medicine and surgery. Ho next removed to Georgetown, Ky., weere he was very successful, until he camo to Nashville in 1853 at tho solicitation of many friends. In this city he became the partner of Chirks K. Winston, M. D., and immediately took a front rank in and with the profession. He was President of tho City Society, and also of tha State Medical Society, of both which Associations he was a very industrious and faithful member. At the outbreak of tha late civil war he was appointed by the Governor of Tennes see President of the Medical Examlniug Board. In all his relations, both public and private, he commanded tha entire con fidence and esteem of his associates. In 1836 he connected bimself with tha Baptist Church. Ha was a favored and ac tive member in the advancement of all christian charities. As a citizen, he was kind and affable, possessing a quiet insight Into all enterprises leading to progress and development, and lending unsparingly his means and his influence to every improve ment looking to tho good of his adopted city, which ho loved with all tha ardor of his ean.est nature. Dr. Winston belonged to that old and nearly extinct school of medical men rep resented by Shelby, Ford, Morton, Mc Nalry, who magnified their office by their devotion to truth, unvarying personal dig nity, and chivalrous professional courtesy. It behooves us as a profession to preserve the memory of our deceased brother, and emu late his virtues, that we like him may mag nify our calling and make it honorable. Other membors followed with feeling and approprate tributes. The following preamble and resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas, We have received the painful intelligence of the deata of our esteemed brother Dr. John D. Winsto n, which sad event occurred at the residence of his son-in-law, Mr. Gordoo, on Wednesday, Sept. 24, at 12 o'clock, Be it resolved, That In the death of Dr. Winston, society has lost an ornament, the church an example of earnest piety and the profession a profound thinker and success ful worker. Be it resolved, That a committee of five be appointed to prepare a suitable memorial for tha Nashville Medical and Surgical Journal and for the Proceedings of the State Medical Society. Bo it resolved, That the profession of the city and vicinity bo requested to attend his funeral at the First Baptist Church at 11 o'clo-k, Friday, Sept. 20. Be it resolvtd, That Drs. Atchison, Evo, J. B. Lindsley, Morgan, Menees, T. L. Madden, Briggs and Nichol bo appointed to bear the pall. Be it resolved. That we tender our heart felt sympathies to tha bereaved family of tha deceased.

The following Is from the pen of a little girl, thirteen yeaf3 of age, and the daughter of ona whose sweet songij havo often been contributed to the press of this city. Be oro reaching tha zenith of her fame as a poetess, and when scarcely out of her teens, she fell a victim to the consumption. Tha following production indicates that the poetic fire which linked her name with tha sQag-blrds of the South, finds a response in" tha only child who eo beautifully handles th-subjac: Tha snow melts, -tha ice disappears, tha murmur of tills a3 they glide onward greet tha ear; the trees resume their verdure, tka air becomes more pleasant, and here and there may be seen a modest violet nestled among the leaves peeping shyly at passers by, while the birds sing sweetly from tree and Bhrub. Then we know that winter is gon3 and spring has arrived. Tha robin's volca Is heard, merrily wdcjailngjpring With her pleasant days and calm, coot nights. Child ren no longer remain Indoors, but wi h merry voices and happy hearts pursue their many sports. All are gay, from the gray haired man, who uncovering bis head, rev erently turns bis eyes to heaven, exclaiming, "Thank God, winter is gone," to the tiny toddler scarce two years old, who sweetly lisps, "Spring Is turn." All are happy, The rich, the poor, the well and tha sick, are thankful, tbat for a time no snow will fell, and no cold winds blow. Sweet, gentle spring, flings garlands o'er the earth, and wrars the woods in splendor. March h soon sbne; then April comes, with her scfr, gen tle showers, which fall upon and bedew the earth, rousing the flowers to raisa their heads and shice forth like gems. All niture is a floral hall and. the earth an exposition of beauty. Queen Flora, wrapped in a robe of softest tints, her fair brow crowned with roses, lilies,d?isie3 and violets, mingled with fresh green leaves, and the same sweet flowers twined 'round her snowy arms and wreathed in her flowing hair, pays ns a long lingering visir, and tben as May dia-ppears and Jure advances, she bids us a tender ifiirfiwsH True! Queen Flora leaves us when June arrives, but sha leaves us a great num ber cf her treasures to cheer and delight us until her return. All the cool, calm days of spriDg are gone, and in tbeir stead coma hot sultry days, when tha sun's torrid rays drive us to the shade of forest trees. We often think that our country is very warm, and that the heat is unbearable, and say all manner of naughty things about it. We do not stop to think it was God who made the heat, and that we sin when we speak ill of His works. Indeed summer Is very warm, but there are many plessures to be derived from Its heat Just suppose what wo would do, say and think, If wa were to have no nice fruit. It Is the very heat of which we complain that ripens the fruits and grain which not only yield to mankind pleasure, but his daily bread. 13 it rot wrong then, very wrong, for us to murmur at what tha Crea tor tioes ? 13 it not onr duty to bear pa tiently the heat in summer and the c Id in rwinter ? Tblrk how when winter was here you longed for the heat, and when it c- mes you are still unsatisfied! Think of how on wintry evenings you crouched around the fire, longing to to to play in the cool green park and seek "the shade of some mighty oak! Spring is lika unto a merry child spend ing is hours in careless sport; lingering in the forest Bhade, dancing on the green and playing on the banks of rippling streams, wearing garlands for her sunny hair and as quickly destroying them and casting them into tho waves, and ending the day's sport by falling asleep on the fresh green sod; its tiny hand clutching some favorite treasure and its fair brow crowned with beautiful flo ral gems. Summer resembles a maiden just budding into womanhood her fair brow not yet crowned with tho cares of life. Autumn is the Dortrait of a beautiful wo man. The bud has changed to a full blown rose. Queen Flora has returned the same gentle creature, but cn her brow Is stamped a more thoughtful expression. The flowers that gleamed in her hair in spring are re placed with'achsplet of many colored leaver. Tho poet has said truly that "October is Queen of the year." O! speak not of May, "With her roses and spray; She is lovely, we own, and charming and dear, But 'IU beauty of face, Not of mind, nor of grace, And October's the soul and the queen of the year." When Autumn arrives tao farmer's labor Is done. Hi3 grsin is stored away and ha has plenty for winter. "The farmer, light-hearted, Look's o'er fields deserted, And f miles at October, tho queen of tho year." The noi-e of thelrills has ..changed to a low sweet murmur. ' 'And the little brook with its mossy grown rocks, It babbles no moro its merry so' g, But it voice has sunk to a low sweet tune That you scarce can hear as It glides along. The grasshopper ships a doleful lay, s And the sunflower bows its head to weep, The vino turns red o'er Tho old stone wall, And the butterfly worm has gore to sleep." Tho bird song is heard and adds to the beauty of ,the scene. But why Jades the splendor? " Why ceases the bird's carol? I can answer In three words, "Winter is como." Cold winter with his triasures of snow and ice has now arrived.- No more playing on tha lawn, no more rambles in the woods. " Old King Winter" has thrown a mantle of beautiful snow o'er the earth. The mur mur of tha brooklet Is hushed, for It la bound with chains; a despairing captive in the State prison w3 never more secure. The air is chill, and the ground frozen bard or covered o'er with its snowy carpet. Indeed we may say that Old Winter has caused the beauties of the earth to fade. (The floral beauties I mean, for there are soma refreshing scenes in winter to those who lika that part of the year.) Ho has wrapped the earth iu its winding-sheet and left us desolate. There is another thing to think of; there are many tbat sutler from hunger and cold in winter. No shoes, ro clothing, except a few tattered rags, and often not a bit of fire to warm them. Is ic not oar duty to help them ? la it not wrong for us to trample over them ? Wo should raiso tbo fallen and help the poor. But if God sends sufferings and sorrows to His creatures, should they not bear them pa tiently? Jesus never snned, and yet, he suffisred, and why should not we ? Bebta.

Owen Davis, who wai taken seri ously ill on the last trip of hia boat between E vans vi lie and Cairo, has been brought to bis residence in Edgefield, and is confined to bis bed. An occasional correspondent sends tho St. Loiis Times the following: "Through the valo ran the Camterland. beanti ful, bright, Where the sycamores steod In their armor of white, And salnt-liko, in sunshine, in prayer rose each form, And as giants and ghosts In the darkness and storm. And wore Winter's livery all Summer time through, The man lo of purity, spotless In hue." All boatmen who have navigated the Cumberland will appreciate tha above po etic description of the sycamore, whose spectral branches bang so thickly over that liver, and so often "go for" a boat's chim neys, and thlugs. This verso is from a song sung by "Buz" soventy-five or thirty years ago. The original lines are in tho posses sion of bis life-time friend, Capt. R. C. Fer guson, of the Mouth of Smltbland. f
