of the Administration for Gen. W. B.
Campbell to be inaugurated Governor OF
Tennessee, on the ground that he was
voted for in the various counties on the
LIST Thursday in August last, the day
fixed by law for the election of Governor
in that State since 1885.

is said by these gentlemen, would have
been thrown throughout the State, had
not Gov johnson and his advisers OPP

FIRE-on Sunday night about 8
% clock fire was discovered in an old
building on Vine street between Water
and First The fire bells were rung, not
only calling out the engines but also
calling the people out of church, espe-
.cially the female portion of the congre-
cation, and so frustrated the ministers as
to spoil one or two gond, and perhaps as
many poor, sermons.
The FIRE was extingushed without any
serious damage being done:
1t is said that woman living in the
house had the smallpox, and the house
was set on FIRE TO drive her out. Atleasl
she was driven out into the streets as we

some disease.

on Sunday night and yesterday the wo
man was removed to the pest-boat abov'
