tailed to qualify. We therefore RECON-

Pioche.
COUNTY COMMISSIONER.
1t is our duty to call attention to the
present unsatisfactory and inefficient
condition OF the Board of County Cou-
missioners. One of its members has
been absent from the county AID State
for some time--we believe for over three
months-while another member is also
absent, but we believe only temporarily.
The eff, ct. however, is to materially ob-
struct the business of the county and
perhaps to cause loss; for the Cominis-
missloners, acting as Board OF Equal
ization, ought by law to be now in daily
session, passing upon the assessment
roll; but III consequence OF tn absence
of the said members the Board is with
out quorum and cannot take tIe neces-
sary action, much to the Inconvenience
Of the tax payers and to the possible Pc
cuniary injury of the county.
We also cannot too strongly reprobate
the practice adopted in many instances
| by mining companies ana corporations
| who, instead Of settling their disput
concerning their property in the courts
| Of the country. set the laws Of the State
| at defiance. and outrage ali good citizens
by hiring bullies aud ruff tns to defend
the said companies real or imaginary
| rights by force of arms. Better things
than this should be exp ,cted from the
character of the parties interested, and 1t
is to be hoped that in future there will
be no more Instances of such tlagrant
violations of the laws, but that if such
do occur the offenders will be severely
punished.

we're in the North. In addition to the facts
given in our dispatches Monday and Tues
day, we find from our exchanges the fol-
lowing additional items At Albany the
thermometer stood at fifteen degrees below
zero; at Toronto, Canada, twenty-five,
and at Hartford four and one-half.
Of the New York ferries the exchanges
of the 9Th say the weather continues in
tensely cold, and ice is increasing in the
rivers and harbor. The South and Ham
ilton ferries to the southern part of Brook
lyn have ceased running, and the other
ferries are much impeded.-The North
river has large foes of ice in it, and YES
sells arriving do not anchor in the stream
for danger of being cut through. The eff
fects of the cold are severity felt here by
the poor people, drivers of teams and 9TH
ers obliged to be out of doors.

A wedding,

a gentleman who has seen something more
than twenty summers, accompanied by lass of
I" sweet sixteen arrived on the eastern train
yesterday afternoon, all sunshine and smiles.
They went to boarding house kept by Nelson
Mynatt, north of the railroad, and secured q
lodging place, Later in the evening the gent
communicated to Mr.. Mynatt the cause of his
anxiety. He proceeded forthwith to 10 BLANC,
who furnished him with certain papers. John
Gibbs, who is always willing to oficiate in such
matters, secured the services of Milton Norris,
Justice of the Peace, who went Overland the
twain became one-were made happy. They re-
mort themselves as hailing fromJ onesboro'. Their
names are Alfred A. Buckner and Rebecca j.
Grant. It would be ungenero4s to, conjecture
that some rude parent objected, and that they
were thus forced to the expedlent OF coming to
our town to have the nuptials celebrated.

RObheFfeS.

We understand that two young men have
lately been engaged in committing a series
of robberie8 in Meigs, McMinn and Roane
counties. Thomas Odom, who lives in Nc
Mimi, had some tools taken and blacksmith
shop in Ten Mile Valley, Meigs county, was
robbed Of tools. The dwelling house of Mr.;
Tobias Mcmillan, in Meigs county, was robbed
last Sunday, during the temporary absence of
Mr.. Mcmillan and his wife, of q quantity of
clothing, quilts, knives, forks and house keep
ing articles generally. y portion of it was
found near Tennessee river, several miles dis
tant and recovered. This was in the vicinity of
the residence of a brother-in-law of the Grays,
who it is thought harbOred them and secreted
their stolen goods. One of the thieves was ar
rested on Wednesday and the other on Thurs
day, as was also sister. but she was not closely
watched and walked off. Their trial had not
come of when our informant, Mr.. Maupin, of
Erie left, but of their guilt there is the strong
est circumstantial evidence, they having been
seen to enter McMillan's house by two men,
and proof can be made of their having offered
some of the tools for sale. \ great deal OF
stealing has been going on in that neigbbor-
hood, we are told, and honest men viii rejoice
when it is put stop to.

Convention Called to Meet May 10th.
The Republican State Executive Com
mittee, composed of the following menu
bers, met in Judge Andrews room, No.
40, Maxwell House, yesterday morning
and afternoon:
East TenueSsee-Judge Andrews and
Xenophon Wheeler.
Middle TerlneSsee-Judge Horace II.
Harrison and Moses r. Johnson.
West IerneSSee-L. B. Eaton and Judl @
John Norman, the latter acting for W..
NJ. Murray.
The political situation was discussed in
all its bearings, but no outsider could learn
much as to what was said or done.
Colonel Waters, of Nashville; w. Y
Elliott, of Rutherford, and ex-senator Fu-
son Of DeKalb, were the only Republicans
we heard of as having been in cOnsulta-
ton with the committee.
The committee, as the result of it's de-
alterations, decided to call State Repub-
lican Convention for the 18th of next May,
recommending that the County Conven-
tions, in the selection of delegates to the
State Convention, should take the Repub-
lican vote in the last Presidential election
as a basis of representation, and that each
county be allowed one delegate, and one
for each additional 800 Republican votes
and one for each fractional portion of that
number; the new counties formed since
1868 to be entitled to one delegate each.
The committee adjourned subject to the
call of the Chairman. Messrs. Eaton and
Wheeler left for their homes last night

Grant and the Republican Party-The Pres
ident and Ills TraduCerS.

United States Senator, Henry Wilson,
of Massachusetts,, delivered all able adj
dress to a meeting of laboring men at
Great Falls, n. H., OH the oath ultimo. We
subjOin some interesting extracts:
WHAT HORACE GREELEY CALLS A . BAD
RECORD
The Administration came into power
with the pledge to maintain the faith ana
honor of the country, then wickedly as
sailed. During these last thirty-tive
months there has been paid $2S7, 100000,
saving nearly S1S,000,O00 a year in inter-
est. This money has been mostly saved
on the one hand by an honest COLLECTION
of the revenues-for we collected the first
fifteen months of General Grants admin
istration $67 900, 900 more tnan was collect
ed under the same laws in the last fifteen
months of JOhnson'S administration and,
on the other hand, by a reduction of the
expenses of the Government. From these
two sources we have paid this two hundred
and eighty-seVen million dollars. Through
out the financial world it is matter of VOL
der and amazement that the financial policy
of the United States should be so success
full. We elected General Grant, pledged to
maintain the faith of the nation, to make
our debt sacred, and what is the result?
Why, theseven hundred.milliOnso of curren-
cy is worth to-day hundred and forty mil
lions of dollars, twenty per cent. more
than it was three years ago. The laboring
man who has earned two dollars to-day has
received forty cents in real gold value
more than he would have received three
years ago this day. There has been added
twenty per cent. to every dollar the labor
ing men of this country have earned, and
it has been added because of the signal fl
deity and ability with which that pledge
has been kept, to maintain the faith of the
nation, honestly collect the revenues, re-
duce expenses, and extinguish the nation
al debt as fast as he could. ........ e
