Personal,

We had call yesterday from Hon. III. r.
Gibson, Senator from Campbell and adjoining
counties. Mr.. Gibson has been an active and
faithful public servant, ably representing his
ceive their plaudit well done, good and faith
full servant" In this connection, we give the
following compliment to Senator Gibson and his
associates, from the Nashville Tribune:
THE gallant little band of Republicans in the
State Senate is often subjected to indignites and
affronts, which they have no way of remedying,
except by an appeal to the Democratic remedy
of brute force The rebels in the Senate de-
light to ride over them ugh-shod whenever an
opportunity enables them toshow their power.
In point of talent and learning, the Republicans
IN the Senate are far superior to the Democrats.
The consequence is the Democrats always get
the worst of every fight. Gibson's sharp tongue
makes many a cash into their political skins.
1t was really painful to watch the turnings,
twistings, writings and contortions of the
Democratic Senators from Shelby and Ruther-
ford, under the sting of GibsOn's keen, irony
and bitter sarcasm few days ago. The blood
came to and went from their cheeks by turns as
Gibson exposed the rude discourtesy of the at
tempt of these Senators to set aside the Senator
from Knox and Roane, and to represent his dis
trict for him."
Mr.. Lewis T. Baxter, son of Col. John Bax-
ter, left this city yesterday for Europe to prose-
cute his studies in the universities of Germany.
Our young friend is recent graduate of
Hobart College, New York, where he gradual
ed with high honors. He is possessed of supe-
rior attachments and has promise of brilliant
future. Our best wishes attend him in his la
boTs.
We yesterday met our young friend Mr.. Geo.
Baxter, who has just returned from Sewanee
College, Middle Tennessee. They have mill
tary organization in the school, and we see
from his uniform that George has been honored
with lieutenancy.

company and themselves.
In order to get an unbiased account of the
matter, we have been particular to obtain the
statements of both parties which are given be-

WHAT THE COMPANY SAY.
According to the books there has lately been
a great falling off in the local freights on &C.
count of the stringency in money matters, the
little produce shipped and other reasons, con-
sequently it was necessary to curtail the COM
pany's expenses. Either the number Of hands
in the shop must be reduced or the number of
hours of labor. The authorities considering this
matter concluded that it would be bet
ter for the hands themselves that they all
hours per day with wages proportional
than that any should be dismissed, so on Satur-
day they were notified that on Monday the
number of hours labor would be reduced to
eight.
On Saturday night the Machinists and Black
smiths Union held meeting, and on Sunday
the Master Mechanic received the following

Very respectfully, &c,
}. b. CAMPBELL, Pres,
A. w. ANDERSON, Secretary.
This note was considered by the company as
containing something of defiant spirit, and the
Vice President thinks there must be some mis-
understanding, as his intention was to do the
best possible for the employees
On Monday morning, the whistle blew ac
cording to the new order, an hour later, but the
men were not found in their places.
WHAT THE EMPLOYEES SAY
They had heard a rumor during the week that
the number of working hour. would be reduced
from ten to eight. They called on Mr.. Hixon.
the Master Mechanic, for the facts He said
they could choose the eight hour system with q
proportional reduction of wages or the ten hour
system with reduction in the number OF hands
employed.
At a meeting of the Union on Saturday
night it was decided that they would accept the
latter, that is, that things should go on as form
erly, except that the number of hands should be
reduced, and the Secretary was authorized to
communicate this decision to Mr.. Hixon, which
was done. They are now simply awaiting an
answer from the Company.
After hearing both sides it would seem that
all the trouble arose simply from a misunder-
standing between the parties, and this misunder-
standing lies in the unfortunately ambiguous
construction OF the note to Mr.. Hixon. This
note the machinists understand to be plain
acceptation of one of the propositions made to
them by the Company. while the Company I'M
derstand it to be defiance Of their authority to
control their own affairs.
About twenty-five hands are now idle and the
present condition of things must bring consider
able loss to both employers and employees We
hope that a reconciliation will be effected
at once. ..,. ...1.... --.- 81. cos g. -
