Chance for Another BlOunt County Libel
MARYvILLE, March p, 1872.

MARYVILLE, March p, 1872.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: Some anonymous
scribbIer has been Iaboring very hard it
seems to circulate, through the columns Of
the Press amt Herald Of the 18th instant,
Il false impression as to the conduct of some
of our county officials. He says that q COM
mittee, appointed to investigate the finan-
cial condition of BlOunt county, has found
81. c. EdmOndsOn, Radical, " our present
tax collector, to be defaulter to the amount
of about So 600 for the year 1866. In an
swer to this charge we will state that for
the year 1866 ?. H. Clark, n Simon-pure
Democrat, was the tax collector of BlOunt
county, and that Edmondson was not
elected rs or appointed " until 1867, and as
for his conduct since that time, we here
submit a statement from the hand of r.
n. Hood, one of the committee that made
the investigation. Here is what he says
"MARYvILLE, Tenn, March -, 1872.
1--WE have just settled with J. G. Ed
nlonson, Revenue Collector of Blount
county, Tennessee, from the year 1867 up
to and including the year 1871, and we
find that the said J. G. EdmOnsOn has
properly accounted for all moneys that
have come inio his hands, on account of
county revenue, tor the years 1S67-8-9-70-
II inclusive; and that he has Overpaid the
Trustee $50, according to our settlement.
There may. be some small errors, but they
will not, in our opinion affect the general
result. This settlement does not include
the year 1866. II. \. HOOD,
Zone of the Committee.
Now as to the charges made against Eli
Num-, our County Trustee, by this same
scribbler, we are not able to speak at pres
ent, as we have not had an opportunity to
see him or make any Investigation in his
case; but we are informed that the charges
are untrue. The statement being false i'll
part, is by fair inference altogether unre-
liable. NJ.

OUR NEW YORK LETTER.
Politics and POliticians-The Recent Move
III Erie-The Era of RefOrm-A Curious
Old Place-ThIngS in General.
New YORK, March Is

New YORK, March Is, 1872
The city of Gotham has been taking an
| extraordinarily large dose, not of croton
water, but of croton oil, or some other
equally powerful purgative agent, and is
fast getting rid of the evils which have so
long been aby-word and reproach. The good
work of reform promises to be thorough
and effective, and the only obstacle in the
way of its speedy triumph is the law and
its delays, the very principle which the
movement seeks to indicate It is rath-
er singular sight to see criminals indicted
in accordance with the regular process of
law, finding their only safety in the in
Vulnerable shifts and devices which men
"well versed in legal lore' know how to
use. Here is our Mayor, for instance,
condemned for malfeasance in office by
the entire respectable portion of the COM
munity, indicted by the Grand Jury, pro-
testing his innocence and demanding fair
trial, yet fighting desperately on every
conceivable occasion and Directing to
everything in the shape of evidence;
badgering Judge and jury with tech
nicalities and giving the lie to his
own professions of innocence
The Mayors trial, temporarily suspen-
ded by the untimely death of juror, con-
tans all the elements for first rate play
1t ought to be a tragedy. 1t is a comedy
and it may become farce. Garvey turn
ed up i'll the nick of time, appearing on
the scene like the harlequin in panto-
mime, all ready to tell what he knew about
SWindling. Just as he was fairly started,
one of the twelve know nOthings who sit
in the jury box must needs get disguised
and die, and now the whole performance
must begin all over again. Of a truth, it
is "linked sweetness long drawn OUT
But we must have some excitement, and
presto, there is music over at the Erie
headquarters. Sickles attacks the ring
and aided by few Vane-like directors, a
new Board of Control is organized, Gould
depOsed and honesty triumphs over cor
ruptiOn' 1t is true that outsiders are in
clined to be suspicious, and it seems rather
strange to find the notorious eX-President |
still retaining his place as Il director and |
sitting by the side of Lane, who first made
him President and then became the chief |
agent i'll depOsing him; but we must not |
be too particular. Erie stock has risen |
from 50 to 43, and that looks as though |
the all powerful street" had confidence |
in the new officers.
Just at present investigation is the order |
of the day. Terwilliger, Clerk of the
Senate, has been investigated" out of
office; Senator Wood has had his bank |
account investigated and il would (no |
pun intended) not pass muster, so he will |
probably be expelled from the Senate, and |
by the by, his fate ought to be shared by |
half a dozen Others, if legal evidence could |
only be obtained.

olden time - even in New York, and it is
right pleasant to find some old place with
