The LouisianA delegation protesting
against the decision Of Judge Durell in
their state matters, not being favorably
received BY the President, have appealed
directly to the Supreme Court for Justice
Brady to repair to New Orleans to hold
. circuit court ia connection with Judge
Woodson, to decide whether a Federal
District judge can destroy one state
government and create another at his
pleasure. 1t is feared by some that the
Supreme Court will attempt to dodge the
question.

Hung Himself.

The Kingston East Tennesseean says that a
man by the name of James Barnett living in
the lower edge of this county, near the Cum
berland line as we are reliably informed, com
mitted suicide by hanging himself on the I'd
inst. Taking advantage of the absence of his
washing, he attached to the rafter a rope, which
was spliced with a comforter, connected to his
neck, and with this arrangement succeeded in
strangling himself to death before he was dis
covered.
The deceased was a man of a family, having
a wife and five children, with whom it was
supposed he lived happily, and being in easy
circumstances, it remains a subject of much
comment and wonder as to the cause for so rash
an act.

Death of an old Citizen.

William p. Crippen, one of the Oldest citizens
of Knox county, died at his residence in this
county on Friday, at IL o'clock, NJ. He had
been confined to his house for some time, and
his death was not unexpected.
Mr.. Crippen was born in the year 1911 in this
county, and resided here up to the time of his
death, which took place after passing his three
score years, and his loss will be regretted by a
host of friends who had long enjoyed his ac-
quaintance. In former days Mr.. Crippen was
an old line Wing and made his first race Cor of
fee under the banner of that party in 1851,
running for Sheriff against Col. Craig, who then
filed the office by whom he was beaten He
run again two years afterward and was twice
reelected, mading all active and efficient of
fcer.
During the war Mr.. Crippen was a pro-
nounced Union man, but after wards acted with
the Conservative party, in which he was also
very popular. He never ran for office OTTER the
war though the choice of a large number o {
his friends, but always took lively interest in
local politics The deceased was a member of
the Masonic fraternity, and will be buried to-
day with the honors Of that order.

Live stock Market.
CATTLE.


A slight improvement is noticeable in our
cattle market The demand for good cattle has
increased somewhat, and we quote an advance
of to cent on all grades. But few cattle are
being received but the offerings for the past
week were of much better quality than hereto
fore. and found ready sale Our quotations are
made from actual sales, and our farmers can
rely on their correctness.
QUoTATIoEs.-A1 fat cattle, 2fa3c good
beef cattle, 2ta21c.; ordinary cattle, 2a2tc,
HOGS.
The receipts of Hogs during the past week
were small, but the demand continues good.
QUOTATIONS. Prime fat hogs, 1T good, A.
SHEEP,
Little or no demand; $200a250 per head.
FAY.
The demand for Hay is unprecedentcdly
good. The market is almost bare, and there Is
very little being brought to town. The preva-
lence of the horse disease throughout the coun-
try precludes our farmers from bringing their
hay to town, and unless shipments are made on
the railroads we fear our city stock will suffer.
The demand continues good at quotations.
QUoTATIoNs.--Sl l0al.2o per cwt; baled,
Sl,25al.35.
Oats are in good demand at $1.l0al.20 per
cwt.
FODDER AND SHUCKS.
Demand good. Fodder, Sl.5oa2 90 per hun

The Gentle bovine at work.

Since the arrival of the dread epizootic in our
city, quite q number of oxen have been used
for draying purposes. The call on the country
people to bring in their bovines has been re-
sponded to with will. and yesterday the mar
ket was fully stocked. We witnessed the sale
of the finest yoke we have so far seen for the
reasonable sum of SIS; other Jokes were of
fered for $50. The prices, as far as we coll6
learn, ranged from $50 10 $S5 per yoke. We
arc glad that the general disposition of the
farmers is to sell them at q reasonable rate, and
Herewith be satisfied. We had feared that
they would take advantage of our. dire neces-
sity and ask enormous prices. Such, however,
with n few exceptions, has not been the case.
Their appearance on the street drawing the
buses and drsys occasioned considerable amuse-
ment at times, particularly to see the frantic eff
forts of the drivers to induce them to back up to
the curbing in front of the stores or to the
platform at the depot We saw one driver, who
had been working with his team in front OF
Cowan, McClung d. Co. for some time, with
out the least appearance Of success finally re-
sort to the measure of tying their tails to-
gether, when, with the assistance of a few men
at the wagon wheels, he succeeded in backing
up. Oxen are frst-rate in their place, but We
long to see the day when the spirited horse will
again resume his functions in this city.

The Coal Question.

The Times says that the matter of a supply
of coal for Chattanooga is already becoming a
serious question. That we should be suffering
from coal famine, right in the heart of one of
the finest coal regions in the world. is strange,
but nevertheless true. We fear that our coal
dealers did not sufficiently consider the fact that
coal is now, practically, the only fuel used here
Wood is too scarce and costs too much
The consumption of coal for domestic purposes
nearly doubles every year. and the supply thus
Jar has failed TO keep pace with the demand
1t seems 10 is that this state of facts and the
Iainty that it will exist again next winter, UNI
less precautions are taken, ought to draw enough
ply up to the local demand at least, and when
that is done, ifthere is n surplus the South will
take il all and more too.

Drain and Produce.

Grain and Produce.
GRAGN-The wheat market has been rather
dull for the past week. with decline in the
price of cents on all grades. The purchaser we
mentioned as having left last week, returned,
but will not purchase wheat at former quota
tics, and is very cautious in his purchases at the
reduced price, scanning the market reports very
closely 1t is very evident that wheat has
reached its highest figures and that future
changes in quotations will likely be on the de-
clning side.
FRUITs.-The market seems to be flooded
with dried fruit, and scarcely any sales are re-
ported. Peaches, in halves, have declined }
cent, and arc now freely offered at cents The
dried fruit market is extremely dull.
FLoUR.-The scarcity of -four continues to
some extent, yet there is no advance on former
prices. The present indications are that Flour
will be easier, the late rains enabling many
mills TO grind, which have, for some time past
been idle. Flour is in fair demand at quota
tions.
OATs.-Dull with no change in quotations.
CoRN.-A shade lower with no activity in
the market.
Eggs have continued to advance, and twenty
eight to thirty cents are now freely offered
for shipping purposes. Some very large lots
in shipping order have brought as much as
80 cents, yet these were exceptional cases, tho
real market value being 28A3Cc.

THE SABBATH SCHOOL
was commenced soon after the organization of
the church, and was generally pretty we'll at
tended. AT the time DR.. Humes resigned the
Kectorship in 1869, the average attendance of
scholarswas about one hundred. After this there
seems to have been a falling off until there
were but thirty or forty in Dec, 1870, when
Rev. j.. Howsrd-Smith became the Rector.
He has labored faithfully in this department,
and soon the number ranged again from seventy
to one hundred and ten, with present average
attendance of one hundred scholars. A good
Sabbath school is the key of success to any
church, for there the youthful hearts are early
trained to fear and love the Lord. The church
is held up to their spiritual eyes in such man
up in all is hdeousness and nine times out of
ten, child properly brought up under Sab
bath school instruction, will not make bad
citizen.
PRAYER MEETING
Is hold every Wednesday night, and is gener-
ally we'll attended. The Rector also delivers n
lecture on that evening. 1t is notable fact
in the histories of all churches, that where the
congregations were faithful in their attendance
upon this means of grace, and fervent in
prayer, that church prospered and its influence
was felt throughout the country.
The Parish now consists of250 parshioners and
l21 communicates Thirty candidates have
been confirmed since Mr.. Howsrd-Smith COM
menced to labor with this people Although
this church is not one of the oldest in the city,
yet the number of its communicates since its or
ganizaton (572) is equal with any, and superior
to some, of the churches the period of whose
organization ante-dsteher, and now, under the
leadership of tho present efficient Rector, is
steadily increasing in her influence against the
powers of darkness.

were getting better were put to work and are

Our markets are in healthful condition,
Trade very active in every department Large
numbers of hogs are being packed. The num-
Der this year will run away beyond any pre-
ceding. Flour is in good demand, the recent
advance stimulating trade in this line. Corn is
less firm. Meats are shading off in prices. The
low price of hogs in the West indicate cheap
bacon this season. In light produce potatoes
are quiet. Onions dull. Apples in good re-
quest, Butter is in fair demand only choice
lots will sell at paying prices.
Eggs are very scarce the holiday demand
has stimulated prices beyond expectation
scarcely any arriving all are picked up i'm
mediately. Dressed poultry has not been
profitable to the shippers this season. More
than two tons have been fed to hogs. Two car
loads were received in one day. Shippers
should operate carefully in this line.
