We recommend Mr.. Mcclellan to the good

During his stay in this city ne has painted a
very great number of portraits of citizens,
and has never failed in any single instance
TO produce excellent and striking hkenesses,
whether his subject may have been ofmature
age or a mere infant. He has a faculty of
selzing upon and transferring to his canvass
every characteristic point. even the least sail
ent, IN the face of his sitter, and never fails
either IN coloring or naturalness of express
Ion. Besides portraits, he has painted many
beautiful landscapes, and historical and fan
cy pictures while with US, all of which have
been readily disposed of to wealthy citizens
OF BY rattle at good prices. ewish Mr.. Nc
Clellan every success in his new home, which
we are satisfied he will find a pleasant one,
and hope We shall fnd his order book full to
overlooking when we have the pleasure of
visiting him in his new studio at the State
Capltal.-Enteprise
Mr.. Mcclellan is an old time friend of

to have their portraits painted in the |
most satisfactory manner.

enc was sleeping in the adjoining shed

there was no FIRE in the house since

IHE CASE OF THE STATE EX REL. RICE
-. DISTRICT ATTORNEY WELLS was
called yesterday in the District Court.
Judge Hayden presiding. Wells was
rreseut and had the assistance of Clay
ton 4 Davies. Ellis conducted the case
for the State. The defense made and
argued a motion to dismiss the com.
plant. The motion was denied. Then
they submitted a demurrer and after
much discussion pro aud con, Wells
told the Court that be had had no time
in which to file an answer, and he was
granted FIVE days time to file one in.
Inasmuch as the regular term of the
Court expires to-day, this granting of
five days is, We suppose, equivalent to
the postponement of the case until the
next term. The complaint was filed
more than two weeks ago, and it is a
little remarkable that the District At
torney has not been able to find the
time to file his answer One would
suppose that an officer laboriug under
the serious charges which have been
brought against Mr.. Wells would wish
to hasten the Investigation thereof, aud
not stave il off by employing the techni-
cali'ies of the lawyers practice. If
tuis case is ever brought to trial we
will endeavor to place the facts devel. |
oped before our readers. We prefer to
wait until j, is decided, if the defen dant
will, within a reasonable time, permit
tito be tried. If be is acquitted be
shall have the benefit of the statement
if the charges against him are proven
we shall place the fActs before our read.

At the Capitol.

In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. Etheridge's
motion to reconsider the vote tran;mitting
the bill to raise the tax, to the House, was
taken up and rejected. Senate bill to a.
mend the act of 1870, chapter 70, for the
sale of the interest of the State in delin-
quent railroads, passed its second reading.
In the House, quite a number of bills,
mostly of an ~unimportant character. were
introduced. A resolution was introduced,
which lies over, providing for adjournment
on the 23rd inst, to convene again on the
18th of January. Senate bill to establish
the county of Virginia was amended SO as
to be called the county of BELL" and

HARD ON THE DEMOCRATIC

The Jonesboro Herald and Tribune.
which, being a republican paper, no doubt
speaks shy the card" insists that the Hon.
Henry Cooper United States Senator elect
to succeed Mr.. Fowler, will undoubtedly
take his seat in the Senate, that he was
duly elected and has a vested right to the
office which he cannot be deprived of.
The Cincinnati Enquirer, Democratic, is
of the same opinion. 1t was a frivolous
question to raise in the beginning, and has
never been seriously entertained in intel
ligent political circles
We are glad to see SO intelligent and
influential a Newspaper as the Banner
taking SO liberal and sensible a view of
this matter. But what will the Demo-
cratic press of Knoxville and other local
tiles think of this decidedly cool criticism
of the Banner. Will they be content to
be classed among those outside of ''intel-
ligent political circles?'

THE PRESENT LEGISLATURE.

1t is unavoidably obvious to all impair
tial and intelligent reflection, that this
body is doing little more than to repeal
the legislation of its predecessors, which
were Republican, overlooking in its mania
the demanded rights of the present. and
the benefits that might accrue in the future
by a liberal and unpartizan course.
They have attacked the palisades of Re-
publican legislation IN every quarter
They have laid the ruthless hand of vio-
lence upon all its e~nactments, seemingly
neither knowing or caring whether right or
wrong, beneficial or pernicious, shifting
down the school system, thus beggar-
ing that portion of the children of the
State who had no other means provided
for the attainment of a common education.
In thus doing they have placed a ban, an
incubus upon honest poverty. 1t was not
because this Legislature had any special
objection to the school law under the State
system of public instruction, but to fell
the golden-leafed tree of knowledge that
had sprung in stately g~randuer from the
congenial soil of true Republicanism,
and from whose pendant boughs the bright
eyed boys and girls from hills and plains
were plucking the richest fruitage, but
simply from the ignobie and disgraceful
fact that 1t soas q measure Of Radical
endorsement and adoption.
What has this Assembly of Solons offer
ed in lieu? A poor, miserable and dis
graceful county system of public ~instruc-
ton which is t%antamount to the adjourn
ment of the whole case.
Next, these war-ehiefs applied the scalp
ing knife to the head of the Tax Law
They hung its CORY locks upon the outer
walls of the Capitol and laid its corpse
amid the ruins of Republican law. But
now adepleted exchequer meets their ap-
paled gaze under their own administration.
They now are endeavoring to pass a Tax
Law still more exhaustive aud oppressive.
Clinging as b~arnacles to the ship of
State, they would chide the fish that had
fed upon the crumbs that had fallen from
its boards. The people heard the ding
and dong of Radical extravaganza from
these consistent ~examplars of retrenchment
and reform. until it becomes a tedious tale
beat per force, into the wearied and drowsy
ear. but now. after having confded their
trusts in a conservative Legislature, they
find themselves enveloped in aweb of inan-
cial complications more embarrassing than
before.

Deutch, at the foot of Missionary Ridge,
near Chattanooga, on the 9TH day of No
vember, 1870, on Friday last expiated
his crime on the gallows at Harrison, the

THE WOODCOCK.

Quite an excitement was raised in our
town last week by the announcement that
there was on exhibition a Woodcock that
had rarely been seen before. The show
was a free one and consequently well pat
ronized. Capt. Henry Lyle, of Bristol,
was the exhibitor. He carried his pre-
cious little woodcock around town in a pa
per box with holes cut for air, but when
the fragile lid was raised, only was reveal
ed a wood-cock, used for the vent of mo-
~lasses, coal oil, or any other kind of fluid.
