Was there ever IAN instance of more

DO It Injustice The brute htne1its the
death of one Of its kind, let it be as poor
and dejectedas it may, but such IL not the
ease with the fourteen Jnstices ofthe Peace
for Blount county. One of their kind die
without property or friends ,alld they pro-
pose. to let him be de7otlred by animals, or
takes him.; This action, has dis
gdstetl every person Of decehcy Even Cal.
Mccoy, the great champion of Democracy,
IS. digusted with it. Should d poor man
be stricken With Paralysis, or otherwise
suddenly die here IN the streets of Mary
Vile without money in his pocket tesde-
fray his personal expenses, what is to be
done? Wen say no nlore-we can't say as
much against such proceedings, as they
say against the Court that enacted them.
The itizens of the fractional parts of
civil districts left in Blount, while the re-
prainder ofthe districts with voting PLACES,

titioned the court to have Voting grounds
for their benefit, as they were
Justiees Of Tie Peace and voting
grounds. Capt Sam p. Rowan and c.
T. Gates appeared IN favored the petition
ers and finally succeeded i'm scretcing atp
sense of shame on the part of enough of
the Democratic (?) Justices to. let the
thing go and give the new districts to the
petitioners. Il few of the brazen faces
fought the petition with all their strength,
supposing That this would.add- four Radi-
cal Justices to, the. court, but many sat
silent and did not vote. r. n. Hood,
however, feels that he has been aggrieved
by this action, so he appeared the next
day, asked to be made party to the case,
and data appeal Ito the Circuitl Court be
granted, which was done by Mr.. Hood
