The Bridge Across the HOrstOu

We are satisfied that the appropriation for the
construction of a bridge across the Holston at
Knoxville is ample, and that the committees
appointed by the Court to superintend the build
ing of it will do their duty And it is demon
strated, in a circular issued July 18th, to the
voters of Knox county, that the income from
the bridge will greatly lesson their taxes.
Will Knoxville be benefited by the bridge
We answer, yes because the facilities for
reaching it are increased. But does the i'm.
provement of Knoxville benefit the country
1t does; for the sand, lime, cement, lumber and
almost everything that is used in the construc-
ton of buildings comes from the country, and,
therefore, gives employment to people in the
country and cirCulates money among them, be-
sides the buildings which will be and are now
being erected are to be occupied; the occu-
pants are to be fed, and must get their supplies
from the country Nor is this all. Such man.
moth buildings as that of Cowan, McClung s.
Co., and others that equal it in elegance Though
not so large will impress any one at once with
the idea that the grounds on which they are
erected and the adjacent lots are increased in
value This increased valuation will 60 into
the common treasury, helping to defray the
expenses of the county, while it will lessen the
amount to be raised from our friends in the
country.
Will the income from the bridge be applied
for the benefit of the people? We think it will,
from the fact that the county has entire control
of the bridge. There are forty-four magistrates,
forty of whom reside in the country, who have
been selected by the different districts as good
men TO represent their interests, and as every
thing of the kind has to go through human
hands, l can think of no plan that would better
guard them.
Let our people not forget to attend the polls
or vote on the day Of the election

The Register is published in book form, on

interest to every one interested in the growth
and prosperity of the country, more especially
as it will be gratuitously distributed to large
list of correspondents now on the books of the
firm from their extensive advertising at home
and abroad, and no doubt many persons will be
induced to locate amongst US from its repre-
sensations.

selves known TO those newcomers who will To-
cate amongt US and who will add greatly to the

OUTRAGE ON THE RIVER.
lneipient Piracy Boat Halted by
Drunken ROwdies.

We were informed yesterday by Mr.. Gilbert,
oil an outrage that smacks more Hk the deeds OF
the wharf rats of London as portrayed IN yellow
back literature, than anything occurring IN our
usually quiet city.
On Thursday night, about eleven o'clock,
Messrs w. H. Gilbert r. H. Ellington and w.
@. Hutton, who live south OF the river, were
actors in drama which, for while, approx
mated tragedy too closely to be agreeable
They had entered small boat owned by one of
the gentlemen, and were about thirty yards
from the bank when two men came out of the
shadow of Atkins mill, and walking swiftly to
the waters edge, rudely accosted the occupants
of the boat and ordered them to come back
The gentlemen replied that they were in their
own craft and wonld do no suciSthing, and they
proceeded on their way
At this one of the fellows on the shore got
exceedingly wroth, and drawing q pistol, with
terrible oath, threatened to fire at 1.-THE
bunch, so designating the party in the yawl.
bis companion seemed to be demonstrating with
the man who made the threat and started to-
ward him. but the latter ran around him and
proceeding to the bank of the river, repeated
his savage threat in more bullying tone:
Being unarmed and only short distance
from the bank, and within easy range, the
gentlemen did not relish the idea of making
targets of their bodies for drunken desperate,
and deemed it good policy to put back, which
they did, running close in to where the men
were standing, one of whom, Bill Allen, seized
the boat by the bow, and after taking good
stare at each of the occupants, showed it out in
the stream and allowed them to proceed Allen
was recognized as the person who halted the
boat but his companion was unknown. The
three gentlemen then went home, indignant at
the outrage they were compelled to submit to,
and musing on the danger of the adventure,
for if q shot had been fired, it would have been
bad marksman indeed, who would miss them

JEFF. DAVIS plantation, in Mississippi,
is now managed by a former slave. Of
him correspondent writes: 'Mr. Mont
gomery, the present proprietor by contract
of between five and six thousand acres of
land, has one of the most interesting FAM
lilies that have ever seen in the South.
They are building up future, which if
exceptional now, hope will become more
general hereafter. Every member of his
family is adding its quote to the success of
this experiment of colored man both
trading and farming on an extensive scale.
Last year his wife took on her hands about
one hundred and thirty acres of land, and
with her force she raised about one hun
dred and seven bales of cotton. She has
number of orphan children employed, and
not only does she supervise their labor but
she works herself. One daughter, an in
teligent young lady, is postmistress, and,
/ believe, assistant book-keeper. One son
attends to the plantation interest, and an
other daughter attends to one of the stores.
The business of this firm of Montgomery
& Sons has amounted, I understand, to
between three and four hundred thousand
dollars in year"

The Gas Company Suit.

The Chancery Court room was filled yesterday
morning by citizens interested in the pending
suit concerning the Knoxville Gas Companys
works.
The hearing yesterday was before Chancellor
Temple at Chambers, upon the application of
r. r. Swepson, and 7. S. Webb. Administrator,
&c, for the appointment of Receiver to ope-
rate the works pending the litigation. The bill
was filed by compliments against G. NJ. Bran
ner, President of the Knoxville Gas Light Com
pany, and others. 1t alleges serious frauds and
irregularities, and upon the charge that the
stockholders interests are ieopardized by the
present management they ask for Receiver
The motion was heard upon the bill, afidavits
and certain books of the Company filed by
order of the Court. Col. Jno. Baxter appeared
for the motion Messrs. Cooke & Henderson
and Judge Geo. Brown contra. The complain
ants having submitted their case and made the
opening argument, the further hearing of the
cause was adjourned until this morning at s
O clock, upon the application of respondents
counsel to give them time to determine their
line of defense and whether or not to file an an
swer.
As tho cause involves large amount of prop
erty and the charges of fraud and mismanage-
ment made in the bill affect the character of the
respondents, who, it is proper to say, have not
yet been heard in reply by answer or otherwise,
it attracts considerable attention and interest

The ELECTIVE Franchise.

There are some men who labor under the de-
fusion that in order to be allowed to vote they
must exhibit tax receipt duly signed, befo re
exercising that privilege. This is mistake.

and requirements, specially declares that thew

MOB RULE IN NEW YoRK.-A handful
of men with bitter anti-Orange sympa-
thies are jealous just now in pushing for
ward movement for the organization Of
new Irish militia regiments, and mass
meeting is determined on in aid of the
enterprise. 1t is scarcely possible that the
authorities would for moment listen to
any proposition for the enrolment of riot
ers or of mob sympathizers among the mi
litia; but the movement is sufficiently adj
vanced to make it worth while for the
public to keep sharp eye on its animus
and further developments.-N.Y Y. Tribune.
