THAT srrnEr coNcLAyE.
The Names of some of the Gentlemen
Present.

The Press and Herald of yesterday insinu-
ates that the meeting and action of the County
Committee on Monday was o trick, &c. If that
be so, it will be interesting to know who would
engage in such trick. Every civil district in
the county was represented. Here are the
names of some of the tricksters present. David
Richards, w A A Common, j NJ Murphy, S d
Cole I Burkhart, Il w Kearns. John Lester
w Y G Cox, VIM McCloud, G. w Carnes, Ed.
muud Hall. w Harms, III II Brown. b f
Doughty, W ii Roberts, j w Vents, Gen J A
Cooper, w j Richards, Jas II Nickle, ! r.
Doyle, James w Maloney, J Ford, j G
Sherrod, i CRANBERRY NJ w Hutaker, Jno
II Mcmillan, Homer Gilmore, John
Chumlea, J I Wells, A lookout / d johnson
and John II Houser These were not more
than half the gentlemen present The others
whose names we do not now deem it necessar
to give, are equally honest, heightened and re-
spectacle. If the wreck of man, who writes
editorials for the Press and Herald will come
out and say that these gentlemen are the kind
of men who carry their points by tricks, then
we will give up. But he dare not do it. If he
did, he knows that honest people would not be-
lievc him, The word of \ man who has sworn
to a falschood and then plead beastly intoxica-
ton as an excuse would not amount to much
in opposition to the we'll known character of the
above named gentlemen He who collects money
for charitable purposes and then dishonesty
applies it to his own use, although called upon
frequently TO surrender it, is not the man TO as
sail the motives of such mon ms we have men
toned. We presume this will satisfy this mod
ern Hercules, at whose beck and nod common
men are expected to bow in silent awe, on the
question of trickery. They are incapable of
dishonesty, either in politics or otherwise, and
all the maldictions that could be heaped upon
them by the little crew at that office, from now
until doomsday, would not affect them in tho
least where they or their disreputable assailants
are known

As we stated yesterday, mectingof the Re-
publican County Committee was held on Mon
day. 1t was called tor the purpose Of orgAniza-
ton, being the first meeting held. After the
committee had assembled--every district in the
county save one represented -getlemen present
thought, that in view Of the fact that all the
Democratic candidates for each of the county
offices had been ruled off the track save one for
each position, and in view of the fact that only
a single Republican candidate was running for
each one of the offices except for Sheriff,
that it become necessary for the com
mittee to try to reconcile the differences
between Mr.. Gossett md Mr.. Gibbs, the oppos-
ing Republican candidates tor that position. a
committee waited upon these gentlemen to know
if reconciliation could be effected They each
one came in person before the committee. Mr.
GOssett said he was willing to leave the matter
with the gentlemen present, Mr.. Gibbs was
willing to accept the nomination, he said, but if
he was not nominated he would take the matter
under consideration Thereupon the roll Of dis
tricts was called, and fifteen out of the twenty
one civil districts reported Mr.. Gossett AS the
strongest man in their districts. The other six
were reported in doubt as to. which was the
mously declared it as their opinion that Mr.
Gossett should be presented to the county as the
Republican candidate for sheriff
A committee was then appointed, consisting
of DIR. J. w. Stewart, John NJ. Bishop and Dr.
J. b. Young, all friends of Mr.. Gibbs, to wait
upon him and know what were his intentions
after the action of the committee His reply is
that he will continue candidate till the day Of
election.
We do not question his right to do so. We
do not propose to make any personal warfare
upon him. He is our friend, and we will so
treat him. Bat at the same time, vote cast for
him is q vote thrown away or counts so much
for Hudburg, the candidate of the Democratic
party, selected by the Knoxville clique that legis-
lated Col. Thornburgh out of office, and has
been trying to run Knox county ever since the
Democratic party came into power in this State
Republicans in voting for Gossett, have other
reasons for their course, besides his Republican
ism. He has made q faithful, honest officer
His bitterest enemies dare not assert to tho con-
trary. Then, with good candidate, one who
has been tried and found true and faithful
we should &c to work and give him rousng
majority We appeal to our friends to lay
aside any personal preiudices they may enter
tain, and go to work for the welfare of the coun-
ty. Five hundred men in the county, who do
not agree with Mr.. Gossett politically, but who
recognize his eminent fitness for the position,
will vote'for him, and he will be triumphanty
elected in spite of the tricks and Vaccinations
of his enemies

shooting ARRAY In sevierviIIe.

On Monday, the 18th inst, shooting ARRAY
took place at Sevierville between two men
named Baylss Henderson and Hugh Hroner.
After quarreling for some time, Heendrson
drew pistol and fred at HorAer, but missed,
and the ball struck a bystander, a young man
named Pink Wright in the lower part of his
body, and ranging around lodged under the skin
in front of his bowels, inlcting a painful
wound.
Drs. Hammer and Walker were called in and
extracted the ball. The wound is dangerous,
and while there is a chance for Wrights rccov-
cry, yet it is considered extremely doubtful. As
soon as he fred Henderson off as fast as
possible on foot, and notwithstanding no was
pursued, made good his escape. A warrant
was afterward taken out for his apprehension,
but up TO the time our informant left no other
steps had been taken i'll the matter. Hender-
son and Homer were said to have been drink
ing at the time.

The Sons of Temperance are stronger now
in numbers than for many years past, though
the Order itself has been weakened by the Sc
cession of several influential Jurisdictions in
the South. The negro queston-that prolific
source of strfe-was introduced Into the Ma

though the Objectionable action was repealed at
its meeting in Chicago, it was not satisfactory to

The Campaign Opened-Speechcs by Judge
HouiS and Alfred Caldwell Esq.
SEvIERvILLE, Tenn, July l6, 1872.

SEvIERvILLE, Tenn, July l6 1872.
This is an unusual week of interest in our lit
tie village. This being the week for Circuit
Court quite number of people have been in
hour yesterday morning by his Honor, Judge
Randolph. At the adjournment of court it was
announced by the Sheriff that public speaking
was then in order, and Judge Owens knowing
that the electors were expected to speak, mount
ed the stand and took possession and would not
consent 20 give way, and well he should stand
for if he runs rs well for Congress as he did for
Circuit Judge two years past, he will need good
stand, for as well ms my mind serves me he got
one vote in the county
Judge Houk and Mr. Caldwell then repaired
to the church, where q large crowd of people
gathered Houll made the opening speech, and
it being the first in the canvass, he did himself
great credit. He occupied two hours and was
often cheered by his audience for the manner
in which he described Mr.. Greeley course from
the beginning of the war and what he has said
and and about the rebellion, and what hard
things he said Of rebels, and yet they, some of
them, are willing to swallow him head and tail (;
but all the true Republicans arc for Grant still
and large portions of the fighting rebels are
for him because they love n brave man and q
man that would show his hand during tho re-
belion.
Mr.. Caldwell in his reply did the best he
could, but he thought good portion of the
time that he was addressing gentlemen of the
jury. Io oftan repeated, tientlomen of the
Jury" He is good lawyer, but will not do
for a politician to compete with Judge Houk.
The Democratic party will have to get another
speaker, for Mr.. Caldwell is too honest q man
to fiji the place. He does not love to have to
stoop so low as q man in his place is necessarily
compelled to do. Houk rode all over him and
his party and finally Caldwell left before
either got through. SAN.

We are informed that Mr.. Gibbs complains
that the reason Accommodation, calls, &C.,

WAS that the CHRONICLE would not publish

they are false. The CHRONICLES charges for all

cause they were not paid for, or payment gusran-

and because he ia the choice for reelection of
nine-tenths of the Republicans Of this county.
