DECLINE OF LOYALTY IN AN
DERSON.

We learn from Andrew Knott, ESQ.,,
that at the recent term Of Judge Houk's
court at Clinton, Richard J. Jarnagin and
'other Rebels" were sworn in as jurors,
and that negro was actually tried for
his life by jury with Dick flanagan as
foreman. 1t is proper to state that we
give publicity to this transaction not for
the purpose OF rejecting upon Judge
Houk, Janagin or the negro, but merely
publish it as an indication Of the return
ing sense ofright and justice which has
been dormant for several years in East
Tennessee. WelOok upon Judge HOuk's
ruling in this matter as eminently proper
and commend him for the manly indie
pendence of his course. 1t is high time
that the ridiculous and unfair proscripr
ton that disgrsces our State should be
ignored and the worthy of all parties and
ereeds restored to the full enjoyment o.
all the rights of citizenship in this glorious
old State.-hROGUiUe Press and Her.
