The County Judgcship.

In regard to the various Judicial offices
to be filed at the ensuing August election,
there is none more important to the great
interest of the people than County Judge.
This is especially the case with the admin
istration and settlement of estates, and thei-
management by guardians, executors, adj
ministrators, etc. This should require a
man as County Judge of undoubted quail
fications, with kindness, accommodation and
appreciation of the wants of the humblest
of our citizens. 1t is particularly the
claims of p G Silver Perkins to which l
wish to refer, and who has in these re-
spects given the most undoubted evidence
in his life among us and such was the
confidence of the people Of Williamson
county that he was elected to the Legisla-
ture in 1919, and County Judge in 1859,
by fine vote on each occasion over
strong opponents; and such the sat
isfaction given to the bar and people
that most of the business of the
Chancery Court was transacted in his
court, when the two courts had concurrent
Jurisdiction: and such was his devotion to
right that he sacrificed himself in the dis
charge of official duties required of him by
law, though warned of the consequences.
He has never been an office-seeker, and
only asks now that his opponents allow
him to try one term in his native county.
will not say that one of his opponents
through age and infrmity, requires more
ease in his decline than he may suppose,
or is allowed by the duties of County
Judge; nor that the other, through long
/ continuance in office, has had no time to
attain the statutory requirements of being
'Iearned in the law" or even to have prac-
ticed it; but Perkins, though not SO robust
as the one, nor infirm as the other (though
suffering constantly by an old wound, is
now in the full experience OF age and
practice, with the legal attainments Of
| thirty wears of closest study. Nor will /
say that either of his opponents were hold
ing Office by military authority during the
war. or that either has grown rich from the
emoIuments of Office; but Perkins was
deprived of his Office, his house burned,
his little all lost by the casualties of war.
And now having for the first time since the
war "a white mans chance" and having
been so long on the losing side, we think
his hopes of success should not be blasted,
but fully realized by his election to County
! Judge, for which he is SO ''worthy and well
qualified" A VorER.

THE JUDICIAL ELECTION
Important Republican Caucus Last
NIght-The EsRespectabIe'' Rcpub-
cans TO be Brought TO Time, or Ex-
communicated

A caucus of the leaders of the republi-
can party in this Chaucery District was
held last night in a secluded locality in
the southern part of the city. 1t was
conducted with great secrecy but still we
are enabled to give our readers an inkling
of what was done. Among those present,
were Mr. Henninger, G s. NJ, of Bled-
soc county, Mr.. Hunt, G 81 NJ, of Brad
ley county; Mr. Sharp & M, of Ham
ilton county; Hon. ID G Trewitt Mr.
Tomlinson Fort, and others.
1t was decided, as we understand, to
consolidate the Republican party upon
d. c.. Ttewhitt for Chancellor and W. Il.
Adams for Circuit Judge. We believe it
was also determined that the ''respecta-
bic" Republicans should be brought to
time, and that Messrs. Stanton, Wilder,
Rathburn, Wright, Wheeler and others,
should be informed that they must either
support Sharp, Trewhitt and Adams, or
be exeommunicated from the party, and
given to understand that they might ex-
pect no more favors from the party.
The caucus assembled about P. NJ.
and adjourned at half-past 10.
We do not know whether any action
was taken in relation to the Congressional
election or not.
1t is evident that the old leaders of the
Republican party in this county and dis
trict have determined to resume the con-
troll of affairs, and it is probable that the
''respectables" will have to succumt
or be excommunicated.- Chattanooga

Health of IIr. Bright.
A statement on unexceptionably good
authority has been sent to the Daily
NeoOs that Mr. Bright's health continues
improving. There is every reason to
think he will resume his place in the
House of Commons at the next session,
but whether it is prudent he should add
his official and parliamentary duties must
yet remain undecided. The cause of his
illness is tendency to capillary conges-
ton of the brain, and suggests caution.
MIR. Bright has refrained from giving ef-
feet hitherto to his wish to resign his of

wishes of his colleague.

THE FRENCH zoUAvEs.
Their Organization and style OF
Fighting.

France possesses several special or ex-
ira corps entirely distinct from the regu-
lar army, the national guard, or the ma
rines. One of them, and perhaps the
most peculiar and eccentric, are the
zouaves. There are two kinds of you
aves, the African or original zouaves,
who, in times of peace, are always sta
toned in Africa, and whose strength
there is about $4,000 men, and the
zouave imitcs, or imitation zouaves, who
are armed, equipped, and drilled like the
original corps, but do not possess the same
perfection in manGuvering, etc. These
latter are only statieneda q part of the time
in Africa, the greater part they are sta
toned in various parts of France. In
their armament the zouaves differ mate
rally from the regular infantry, particu-
larly il their bayonets, which have the
shape of scythes, and their side arm,
which is the Algerian yataghan, that's, the
peculiar short-sword of the Kabyles. Also,
is so far that they prefer to use their own
private revolYers. No one can become
zouave who is not a born Frenchman,
and very large number of them are
recruited amongst the Paris loafers and
gamins. Their drilling comprises, besides
the usual military eyolutions, more par
ticularly also gymnastics, and no
one can serve amongst them tor
any length of time who is not
an accomplished and perfect swimmer,
Jumper and climber. Their style of
fighting differs accordingly from that of
the regular infantry. They make no
bayonet attacks in closed lines, but spread
themselves out so as TO have more room
for striking out with the bayonet, and
they enter the enemy's lines on the full
run and with large bounds.
One of their eccentricities is their
love for cats, and they prefer as pets the
large gray and black cat of Algeria. The
training of these cats is admirable. They
know not only all the soldiers, but also
their four-footed comrades belonging to
the same battalion, and easily pick out
their own masters under all circumstances.
They are very obedient to them, and, not
only on the march but also in battle, take
up their positions on their knapsacks-
from which position they participate IN
the fight according to their own peculiar
style, by jumping into the face OF the
enemy and scratching and biting in fu-
rious manner. During the Crimean war
the wounds in the faces of the Russian
soldiers from these cats were so serious
and numerous that they had to establish
at Odessa a separate ward IN the hospl-
tai for the better healing of them.
In climbing up and attacking rocky
height the zOuaves command their cats
to the front to lead the way, and care
fully watching the way the cats, take
they follow them closely and take ad-
vantage of every foothold pointed out by
their trusty and agile comrades.

We take the following chapter of acci-
dents from the Humboldt IHdGg of the 22d
inst: A son of Mr.. Brown was seriously
injured last Tuesday by jumping on a
broken bottle. The bottom of his foot was
laid bare to the bone from point near the
center, ranging around and up nearly to
tbe ankle. The driver of Mr.. Elliotts
wagon, lad of IA or Is years of age, was
run over by a wagon loaded with stoves.
From some inexplicable cause he was not
killed, as the wheel passed over his breast.
On wednesday last the son of our senior,
soTommy," was thrown from swing in the
ward and fell distance of twelve or fifteen
feet, dislocating both wrist bones and 9TH
erwise bruising him. The Colonel and
wife were at Gibson Wells at the time the
accident occurred. He, with the others
mentioned, is doing well.
