The election lor members of the Tennessee Constitutional Convention took place on Satur day. The utmost indiflerence was manifested in Nashville, and all over the State there was very little interest taken in tho rtsult.

Owinir to the crowded state of our columns on Saturday, we were prcvcntedlpubllshlng a very full and Interesting account or ttie banquet given at tne !imtmrntal Hotel on Friday eventnjr by Potter ijidie. No. 441. A. Y. M.. at which over two humlred gentlemen participated. We cannot refrain, how ever, from prei.en.lng tne following Drier extracts from a most able and eloquent speecn delivered on the occasion, in response to a toast, by Colonel A. London ttnowden. Master-elect of I'lillo Lodge, No. 444. It is a source of regret that the report from which these extracts are taken noes so nttie justice to a speech that was replete with neauty aud power, ana tliat was received wmi me uumt iiuouuiiueueaiiBiB; tion bv all who had the measure of hearing it. After thanklue the Master of Potter Lodge for the lienor conferred by selecting him to represent the irnests present, among whom were some of the most prominent gentlemen identified with the press and learned professions, Mr. Snowden proceeded by referring to some remarks that had fallen from the tins of the (irand Master of theState.who bad precede him, as to the influences that are at work, and the various agencies employed, principally sectarian, to impede or destroy the order. The speaker observed : I for one have no fears for the future of the brother hood we In part represent, jt its past msvory uas not been tree iroin contests, iiemipr is it uaneu oi tho nmt and nrer.inuR fruits of victory.

December tS.-r-At Stockton. three miles from llu.leton, about live o'clock this morning, the ground over a mine which had not been tiped for fifteen years cave way. and one block of houses fell In so quickly, that the two families that were living In them had not time to get away, except one girl, who had got ont of the bonse, but not far enough to escape falling in, and was rescued irom the top ot the houre. The families living in the adjoining block had just time enough to get out before tho whole block ell in. Ten persons went down rlth the houses. Georeo Swank, his wife and four children, and Mr. Ketch, bis wife, child and mother, are tho unfortunates, and arc still in the mine, and must certainly be dead. lhe llazlcton ttteam fire hugine has been throwing a continual stream in tho hole since daylight. The firemen are doing all they can, and have taken charge of the atlair and ex tended ropes around the hole, and allow nojpcr sons inside. Trnlns are running every hour to the scene of dieaster. It will be some time before the bodies are recovered, as the ground is cracked around for some distance and still I.iUinsr in, and it is dangerous td work. near. The excitement in the vicinity is increasing. and families in neighboring houses are moving out for fear they will go next. lucre is also danger of the ruins taking fire. Pottrvim.k, Dec. 17. A despatch to the Daily Journal, giving an account of tho dis aster at Stockton, by which two blocks of bouses, containing teu persons, were. engulfed, says: Immediately afterwards it was discovered that the mine was on lire, and it was believed that they would all burn np. Isaac Kogh and his wife 'and - chilU .and- mother were in one block, and Mr. Sweuk. wife, and fonr children in the other. The fire company of the place was soon on the spot and assisted in putting out the fire.' The girl was seen in the debris and was taken ont with great dilllculty. ino canse oi tne accident was working tne breast in the colliery too near the surface under the houses, there being only about twenty feet space left when they caved in. Only a few days before a couple of persons on a 'truck were pitched into a similar hole, where a portion of the loundation ot the railroad bad given way over some workings that approached too near tne sumce. 1 I3RA7IAT1C.
