The destruction of milk cattle in this
vicinity by Texas cattle fever, is truly
a calamity. 1t has fallen upon the poor,
the widow and the orphan, who, unable
to hire pasturage for their cattle, were
compelled 10 Craze them upon the COM
mon, A COW in our streets is now
novelty. This disease has been ter
riLlc scourgc, and the loss does Dot end
with tho mere destruction of the cattle,
but men are prevented by the disease
from purchasing others to supply the
places Of those noS dead. for they
would die within ten days. Thus these
people, comprising fron FIFTY to SIXTY
/ families, while the nuMber is every
day eularged, are deprived Of milk
until winters frost Shall have borne
away the poisons left by the Texas or
Cherokee cattle. I he disease is now

cattle having been lost five miles fiom
Goodson in tue direction of Abingdon.
Mr.. Cunningham, We are now told,
drove the cattle from Bristol to Madison
Beattie's, in the upper end of Wash
ington, near the Smyth line. W hat
was then done with them, We have not
learned, but we may expect the disease
to appear along the entire track where
they have grazcd. AS Mr.. Cunning
ham knew that he was bringing Chero-
kee cattle into the country and endang-
ering the cattle along the entire route,
we would like TO see a test case made

contribute toward one suit for damages,
bring the testimony from those cases

TO the TOters OF SuiiiVam County.

FELLOW C.rIzGSs - Having announced
myself as a candidate to represent you in
the lower branch OF the next Legislature,
and, owing TO my engagements, having but
little opportunity to mix and consult with
you, l deem it proper to issue is circular,
that you may know my views upon tie
questions that are agitating he minds of
the people Of the State from one extreme
10 the other.
That the condition of our State, finan-
cialiy, politically, morally and socially, is
such AS every good citizen deplores aud
condemns, is u sef-evdent fact. Our ate
debt has been, in the last four years, more
than doubled, aud though our taxes have
becn trebled AMI quaarupled, the Comp.
truller announces tie humilating fact th Il
the treasury is empty and further, that
he was unable TO meet the interest on our
State bonds, due on tue LIST instant.
You ask, why all this expenditure? 1
answer; lncompetency aud dishonesty in
the administration OF the affairs of the
STATE unnecessarily prolonged sessions of
the Legislature, multiplication OF Offices
and oil crs TO fill them standing armies
in times Of pr0founi peace; aud last. but
not least, prOdgacy in applopnating and
Issuing State bonds.
Your public servants rode into power
upon the whirlwiud Of passion that sue
ceeded the war; being in, fhey conceived
the idea of retaining their positions by
DISTINGUISHING three iourths OF the inteili-
gence and wealth OF tue State. This up
plies to Middle and West Tennessee with
much more 70. ce than to East Tennessee.
Finding that would not do, that they were
still ia a minority, their next step was to
enfranchise all its ignorance and poverty.
By this, the balance Of power ia n majority
OF the counties, aud in the entire State,
was thrown int, tho hands Of those who
paid 40 taxes, and, consequently, who.had
no interest in an honest and economical nd
minstmtion Of its affairs. Ii We would
regain our lost prestige as state, redeem
is credit W ia the financial world and save
on, selves from utter aud irretrieyable bank.
ruptcy; il we woull enjoy the blessings Of
a republican form Of government, We must
go back to FIRST priuo'p es und acknowledge
aud practice the great truth, that taxation
aud representation should SO bend ia hand.
la oth err words, the taxi aver must be able
to hOd his servaut 10 strict account for
his Stewardship. Therefore, | am in favor
OK enfranohisiug every man of lawful age,
nnconyicted Of crime, in the State.
For the present. until our Frustrated
financial condition can be remedied, am
opposed to the appropriation of another
