TIE TOURNAMENT AT John
SON CITY.

The Tournament at johnson City, on
the ith inst, proved quite a success. A
I-rge crowd was in attendance. which,
assembled in a beautiful grove near town
along the border of which, the lists were
arranged. After an appropriate address
% the Knights, by Mr.. E. f. Akard,
in.iges were chosen, and the sport of the
" commenced in earnest. Seventeen
Knights dressed in rather fantastic trap
.,iups entered the lists to contend for the
honors, usually distributed on such oc-
~casions. After a sharp contest, the hrst
honors were awarded to DIR. Morley, who
had evidently-"been there before" and he
was permitted to name and crown the
Queen of Love and Beauty.
The End honors were won by Mr. 1. a.
Faw. who selected the first Maid of Hon
or to the Queen. Mr.. L. T. Hickey, the
3rd. and Mr.. Charles Aiken, the fourth.
The champion Knight, DIR. Worley.~ select
ed Miss Rhoda Taylor, as Queen of Love-
an Ibeauty and Miss Sallie Thomas vas
chosen as FIRST Maid of honor. Miss Moilie
Farnsworth second, and Miss Bell Nc
Clelland the third.
After dinner the closing ceremonies
that Of the coronation oe the Queen ard
Maids of Honor took place. An eloquent
and appropriate address was delivered by
John Allison, jr., after which each Knight
crowned the Lady of his choice.
COL T. H. Reeves, was then loudly
called for who delivered a short but well
timed address which had the effect OF
putting every n ina good humOr.
At the conclusion Of the Ccloners
speech the crowd broke up and all return
ed to their homes apparently well salts
fed with the days sport.
Music was furnished by the Joncsooro
Cornet Band, which added greatly to the
enjoyment of the occasion.
There was no drinking or disorder OF
any kind to mar the pleasures of the day
and all present enjoyed themselves with
out interruption.

We learn that the United States Gov
eminent and the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia Railroad Company have ar
rived at a settlement of the suits brought
by the Government against the Company
for purchases made by the Company from
the Government, at the close of the war.
The basis of the settlement is that the
Company is to pay to the Government
$1S0,000 in four per cent bonds, running
ten and fifteen years and $4,000 in cur
rency, on which conditions the Govern
ment agrees to abandon their suits against
the Company. Attorney General Will
lians telegraphed from Washington yester-
day, instructing q. S. Attorney Andrews
to compromise the suits on this basis and
Judge Trigg yesterday evening made a
decree to that effect and it was entered Of
record. This compromise will prove on
great value to the Company, as it will cut
off a great item of expense under which it
has been struggling for some time in the
matter of costs and interest.-Press and

ANOTHER D-EmOCRATHC con-
Tsf VENTION.

The Democratic Convention which
assembled here last Monday. as will be
seen by the report of the Secretary, ter
minated in another failure to secure q
nomination.
We are informed by Capt. 1. E. Reeves
the Secretary that Mr.. Boreing. early III
the day, expressed his willingness TO sub
NIT his claims to the action of the conyen-
ton, but that Maj. Fine, confident IN his
own strength, refused t do anything OF
tho kind.
Others who were solicited to run
showed their good sense by refusing to
allow their names to 60 before the con-
vention. AS will be seen by Mr. Boreing's
card in this issue, he is still a candidate
and ssks for the suffrage of all classes
both white and colorcd.
Although Mr. Boreing claims to be the
peoples candidate, The following call for
the Convention which met last Monday
will show in what light he is regarded by
the Democrats themselves.
THERE being two or more Candidates
claiming to belong to the Conservative
Democratic party for the Office Of Sheriff,
and these gentlemen being unable to ad
Just their claims satisfactorily between
themselves, and recognizing the fact that
only defeat. can result from this condition
of affairs, a Convention of the Conservative
and Democratic voters of Washington
C~ountyhas been called to be held at the
Court House in Jonesboro' on the 9Th
inst, to determine which of the present,
or 4 pew man, shall make the race. 1t is
hoped that each civil district will be re-
presented in said Convention either by

Bible Class,-Picnfc Of Elizabeth
ERALD y TRIBUNE :

EDITORS HERALD AND TRIBUNE:
Accordingto the adjournment one year
ago, the Bible class taught by Rev. II. G.
Atwater, held tleir second annual Pic Me
on the fourth instant.
In the crowd of all ages present, the
variety of amusements participated in
as well as the bountifnl public table,
which the generous ladies proyided-cov-
cred with everything to tempt the appe-
tite, the Pic Mic surpassed in attractions
(if p~ossible) the one held last year.
At an early hour. crowds from noun
tain and valley, with happy faces, might
be seen vending their way to the splen-
did grounds of Mr.. NJ. Carter, just out
side the village of Elizabethton, on the
banks of the far famed Watauga,
Amusements were prepared SO varied in
attractions and character, that all were
kept busy till a late hour.
Two sets of Ring Toss and Croquet
gave plenty O scope for well dressed la
dies and gentlemen, to exhibit there tai
ents in that direction.
The belle of Watauga valley was there,
also the n from the city of Elizabeth
ton.
But there were no unkind words spo>
ken-or feelings aroused between them.
The beauty of each, was of such a diff
ferent type, the style of dress, and intel
lectual attainments so varied, and each
bad SO many silent as well as open ad-
mirers, that there was no occasion for
jcalously-and all went "merry as a mar
rage BELL"
1t is safe to say, that Carter county,
excels East Tennessee in its number of
beautiful ladies and who are SO ready to
grace those celebrated Pic Mics, with
their presence and favors.
The beautiful and happy day closed
by an adjournment of the Pic Mic to the
fourth of July. 1873, the place to be Sc
lected by the teacher of the Bible Class.
Their next joyful occasion will be ithe
Christmas Festival. The class having
unanimously chosen the Fourth of July
and Christmas as the days in which they
keep open doors, to give their friends a
happy greeting.
Surely no one, who was with them OH
the fourth could for a moment doubt, but
that it has a most happy effect in soften
ing political and sectarian feelings, which
are SO ripe in our distracted state, thus
to mingle and break bread together, and
cultivate the better feeling of our nature.

REPunLTCAN,s =

There is every indication that the Elec-
ton for county officers, which takes place
on Thursday the first day of August, next,
will be- closely contested. and no means
left untried to reduce the Republican
majority, and if possible, to defeat the
party. Republicans should be on their
guard. as there is a strong probability
that more than the usual number of
political lodges will be resorted to, in or
der to secure at least one of the county
ofsecrs. With the majority We now have
there can be no necessity of making any
concessions whatever. The Republican
party can easily elect every candidate BY
a good majority, if they will all come out
to the polls on the day Of Election, and
vote the straight ticket.
No doubt the usual number Of false
reports will be circulated lby designing
men to the effect that such and such can
didates are off the track. Republicans
may rest assured that the present candi-
dates for Sheriff, Revenue Collector,
Trustee and Circuit Court Clerk, to-wit:
Samuel E. Griffith. L. A. Branscom,
George Mcpherson and DIR. c. Wheeler,
will be on the track until the polls close
on the day of the Election. They are
not the style of men who put their hands
to the pillow and turn back. The encour-
agement and assurances of a firm and un-
divided support they have received at the
hands of the party throughout the county
il sufficient to warrant them in remaining
on the track. and they will remain
Their election as matters now stand is
certain, and there can be no reason for
withdrawing from the race. Therefore
let every Republican rally to tee polls.
We have never been defeated ,ave through
our W carelessness or want Of unanimi-
ty. Let there be nothing of this kind to
operate against US in the coming
Election. We have seen the efe ct OF 1T
o ten enough to warn us of the danger to
be- unprecedented from that source. Let
every true Republican lay aside his per-
s,,al feeling, prejudices and antipathics
ID vote his sentiments. If We do this,
vi tory is certain.

On Wednesday morning a wild cat
made a raid on the hen roost of Gen. b. j:
Hill of this place, and the squealing of
chickens; drew the attention of the
General, who went in search of the intru-
der. He had the good fortune to discov-
err and kill the cat. He isa monster

ty inches from tip of nose to tip of tail.
Whether the repeal of tho dog law had
any influence over the cats majesty in in

not, bat certainly he was bold. 1t is the
opinion of Gen. Hill that there is a nest

The Great Race.
Facts About the Horses and BE,

E0CSS ABOUT N Horses ana BctS'
The New York papers are full of de.
tails of the great race at Long Branch on
the I'd inst. Heavy sums were lost by
Eastern men on Harry Bassett. John
Morrissey lost $4,000. Bets when
horses started were $1,000 on Bassett to
$1,000 on Longfellow.
The formers friends claim he was ter
ribly out of condition.
In speaking Of the race a New York
paper gives the following account of
THE FINAL STRUGGLE.
Around they went, yoked together, the
same stride, the same speed apparently.
This delighted the straining assemblage,
who again and again yelled forth their
Joy. There was no break in the applause
now. 1t rose higher and fell lower now
and again, as some new phase of the race
was presented or disappeared, but it never
ceased. The crowd was rapidly becoming
frantic.
Bassett held his own until they reached
the first quarter on the last mile. Then
he began to fall behind. He was a length
there, and six lengths at the half mile.
Here his tail fell, his ears lay back, and
he doubled himself up and appeared as if
kicking. Before he recoyed Longfellow
was twenty lengths ahead.
The spectators were now mad. The
yelling was Undesirable. They jumped
into the quarter stretsh at the imminent
risk of being run down. Longfellow con-
tinued to improve his advantage, comingin
an easy winner in an asycanter. Bassett's
jockey whipped him under the string.
The cheering over the result lasted
without interruption until long after both
horses had been taken to their stables.
One man enthusiastically embraced the
little colored jockey, and coon a purse
was made up for him.
Everybody crowded around old John
Harper who was slowly todding down the
quarter stretch, his ancient visage wreath
ed in smiles. Even ladies ran forward to
shake his hand and congratulate him.
Leonard Jerome, who had been backing
Bassett very heavily, said to him
well, Uncle John, they can't say any,
thing to you this year, can they?
81 guess not" drawled out the veteran.
AFTER THE RACE.
A more thoroughly beaten horse than
Harry Bassett we have seldom seen. He
looked the very picture of distress, with
distended n~ostrils, hcaving tanks, and
great gouts of blood on his sides where
the spurs had pricked him. Jimmy Roe,
bis jockey. said nothing, but his face show
ed only too plainly how deep was his NOR
LITIGATION at having been beaten on his ia
vorite for the first time. 0n-Colonel Nc
Daniels, too, the blow fell heavily, and
tears actually stood in the old mans eyes
as he gave instructions to the boys who
were attending TO Harry Bassstt. II was
certsinly a crushing defeat. and it fell

more heavily from the fact of its having
been so unexpected.
Longfellow. or. the other hand, looked
like a conqneror. With ears pricked and
head erect he walked back to the judges
stand, seemingly none the worse for his
race. He sweated but very Ettle-a GER
