Attending Court.

a considerable number of our citizens
went to Knoxville last Monday to attend
the Federal Court, which has been in ses.
sion for several weeks. True bills have
been found against a large number of the
citizens of Monroe county, and We learn
there are more cases pending. 1t was
suggested, by one of the party who went
up on Monday, that it would be a good
idea to have the Court moved to "Hang.
ing-Dog,' SO as that it might be more
CONVEX ilnt to our citizens. This suggestion,
will not, however, receive much attention
from the %"powcrs that be-" as it is doubt,
less the intention to put our people tc
just as much trouble and run them to a
much expense as possible, through which
the Government officials may be enable

money of inofTensive and innocent citizens
