In connection with the little colored boy Charley Commons, spoken of by the Knoxville Journal as a loafar in Knox- ville. we must say in his behalf that his vagrancv is the result of deatituton and the absence of friendly hands lather than vice. His deportment here was un exceptionable, and he was noted for his industry and good habits. He left for reasons satisfactory to himself, and with no taint on his character. He is a genius without doubt; and if some kind hand would aid him he would do distinguished honor to his race, possibly to human kind. Stepping i:.to W. A.

He at tended the session during the day, was taken ill at supper, and died in half an hour. A good man is gone. Reui'ceo Kates. A suggestion comes to us from the tobacco interest of this city that the rail road authorities reduce the rates of fare during the Christmas Holidays begin ning about the "Otn mst. to t ie tobacco centres, Lynchburg, Dany ille, Richmond, Durham and other points prominent in tobacco circles. During the season, many gentlemen connected with the trade are absent from their homes as buyers on the different markets, and wish to rejoin their families during holi day times. The interest is a very im portaut one. We believe the indulgence has been grarjfed before, and hope it will be again. TlIK IXOOMAR Ql ESTION ANSWERED.

Every piece of property for sale should be systemat ically' tabulated, stating character and purpose for which it is best fitted whether for a manufacturing, business or residence site and as fully describ ed may be convenient. Sales could altsmate be' ween the prop erties of different agents as they do be tween tobacco warehouses. The excur sion tickets should run for thirty days, so as to give parties who avail themselves of it tiuieto look around, see the city, and investigate properties. If a united, systematic effort is made, we believe something could be done which would result most handsomely to all concerned and result in brinsing to our city a large avd splendid addition to our population. n hat say our lnends .'

When these prelimi naries had been arranged. NLiekin- ley of Ohio, nominated Ihomas B. Keed, ot Maine, lor spenkT. and the nomination was confirmed bv acclamation.

A fully at tended caucus of the Democratic Senators convened at 12 o'clock to hear Ihe final report of its c mmit tee appointed to outline the policy of the plan of action with regard to the udmission of new Democratic Senators against who-e title some questions have been raised. A com mittee consisting of Senators Pugh, Blackburn. Harris and Vest-reported that.it had carefully cansiclered all the facts in the cases of Senators Tumie. ot Indiana; Faulkner, of West Virginia; and all other new Democratic Serators, and had reached the conclusion that all were fully entitled to their scats. The merits of each case having been dis cussed by the caucus, it was unani mously resolved that t'ae entire list of new Democratic Senators were entitled to their seats, aid that in so far as the Democrats could influ ence the matter, that they should be sworn in on Monday when othei new Senators are called to take theii oaths. Nothing beyond this was detetmined upon in connection with the matter, it being tiie unani mous opinion cf the caucus that no departure from precedent should be made, and that no obstacle to the admission or all the Senatorr-elect should be anticipated. The com mitt?p ai.-o r.-dor'ed that it has ex amiticd jiH cisdentials of the Ri puhiicun Sf-riators elect, and found several upon which objection? could legitimately be based. The facts were, laid before the ti-'tis. ana dircussnl; but as the- defects are merely teohiiicil. it, w.ia .le'erm ined to make no objection unless objectioiis w r nysdz by the Re publican? to the adnii.Mi .n ot the Dsmocrats. An understanding ira? reached, however, that should the admisiio!, of any Dimoc:r,it be ob jected to, tin; party would net as a unit according as circumstance seem to require. The tone of the speakers in the caucus was firm without bfii; bellist-rent. It was made known that the Demo cratic held ai: advantage in the fact trut Senator Jones of Nev-nl i is absent, and is pai, d v.-it I.
