EDITORS CHRONICLE Circuit Court has
been in session here this week. his Honor, JAS.
IL. Randolph, Judge, &c, presiding, The civil
docket was by consent continued until tho next
term of this court. The most interesting case
was disposed Oft being the State of Tennessee
VS. James $. and William Brown charged
with barn.burnng. The defendants were ably
defended by Messrs. Meek, Henderson and
Jourolman, and prosecuted by Attorney. Cen
eral Joel A. Dewey, assisted by Messrs. Wash
burn and Gibson. They were upon trial four
days after which the jury returned verdict of
not guilty, to the great surprise of the commu-
nifty and exceeding joy OF the defendants. So
the Browns go hence.
Speeches were delivered on Monday by the
Hon. Roderick Il. Butler and Rev. VIM. b,
Carter, aspirants to seat in the 43d Congress
of the United States. They were listened to
with marked attention-both of them being
strangers to most of the citizens. Mr.. Butler
made enc of those able speeches which charac-
terize him on every occasion, showing how the
public debt" has been reduced during Presi-
dent Grants Administration. Mr.; Carter was
listened TO with much anxiety by the good citi-
zens Of Union, to hear what course he would
take in advocating the claims of Horace Gree
ley to the Presidency; and they were not SUR
prised to find it was y " let"
1t is estimated that Butler will receive a
majority of at least five hundred votes in this
county, and Maynards majority will be
equally rs large.
The Republican convention meets to-day al
Jacksboro' for tho purpose of nominating .
candidate to represent the counties of Union,
Campbell and Scott, in the next Legislature OF
this State. We hope to get true man.
The Republicans have tho majority in this
county and with it the power, and they intend
that tho little Insignificant class to which the so.
briquet of minority is so applicable, shall be
made very sensible OF the fact on the 9TH day o
Novem Der when the loud huzas for Grant an6
Wilson, Maynard, Butler, ETC., shall resound

Since writing the above, news has reached
us from the Jacksbcro convention. We under
stand that after long and tedious balloting, by
some hook or crook gentleman from Scott by
the name of Duncan was nominated. Nor,

The Prtzo Drawing,

The chief topic of conversation on the streets
yesterday, was the prize drawing which took
place at the court house last Saturday night
In consequence of an unfortunate error, there
were three hundred and fifty prizes drawn in
stead of three hundred and Jorty-nine, which
was the original scheme.
The generally expressed wish of the ticket
holders was for a new drawing, and this was
not confined to those who held blanks. The
drawing in itself was fairly conducted, though
the error is to be regretted, The programme
was somewhat changed from the published an
nouncenent, that. the first number drawn should
be awarded the capital prize, whereas, it
was the last ticket drawn, entirely reversing
what the people had been told was to be the
order of the drawing,
The manner of the drawing. however, is not
material, but it is essential that only the number
of prizes published should be awarded Judge
Temple President of the East Tennessee Agri-
cultural Society, is expected to return to this
city to-day, when a meeting of the Board OF
Directors win be held to determine whether the
prizes shall he paid or a new drawing take place,
TO whose action. the public .look forward with
lively interest.
A supplemental drawing of the tickets not
vet reported has been mentioned, but that
would satisfy but few if any, and will scarcely
be seriously considered by the Board of Di
rectOrs,

To the Voters Of Union, Campbell and
Scott Counties
FELLOW CITIZENS A convention was
held at Jacksboro' on the 10Th inst, to
nominate a Republican candidate to repre-
sent the counties above named in the lower
branch of the next General Assembly of
Tennessee. The convention was organic
ed and nominations declared in order.
Hon. J. =. McNew and myself were put in
nomination. No other nominations were
made, We were called upon to say whether
we would abide the convention. My an
swer was, if you will hold a fair, Just and
honorable convention / will. Mr.. Nc
New announced in the affirmative. No
other persons were expected to BIO put in
nomination. The delegates were called
upon to settle the question whether Mr..
McNew or myself should represent you
in the Legislature the balloting was pro-
ceeded with L received n majority of all
the votes cast for the three counties on the
three first ballots according to the usages
of Republican conventions. Then other
gentlemen were put in nomination and
balloted for who the people did not ex-
pect and who they did not instruct their
delegates to vote for Wholly ignoring the
will of the people by the one man power,
many unfair things were done in the con-
vention and man nominated that many
of the people had never heard of though
gentleman ana HepuDllcan. L nau can
vassed portions of Campbell and Scott
counties. The people had to settle the
question between myself and Mr.. McNew,
not between me and other gentlemen who
might be brought out against me.
Fellow citizens, propose to run on I'M
til the polls are closed on the 9Th of, Novem-
Der next. One man held the controlling
power and controlled the whole conven-
ton. might go on and give many good
and valid reasons why run on as an in
dependent candidate.
Believing that the good people of the
counties of Union, Campbell, and Scott
are not willing that one man should con-
troll your suffrages at the ballot box, pro-
pose to give you chance to vote for the
man of your choice-as every free man
should have the right to do. L am the
workingman's candidate Our interests
are identified. / have had some expert
ence in legislation and if elected will serve
you to the best of my ability. If you
vote for me l sh all be thankful; if you
vote against me L will never murmur OF
complain.
Your ob't. serv't.

The receipts of beef cattle during the past
week have been much larger than for any pre-
vious week ofthe season, and we note consid-
cradle improvement in the quality now being
brought to market. Prices are unchanged, but
an advance may be expected soon, on account
of the scarcity of grass and the offering of better
cattle.

Rts,,ne q May Garry of the Premiums.

Ristine a. May Carry of the Premiums.
Among the most notable features of the East
ern Division Fair just closed, was the magnif-
cent display of furniture exhibited by the enter
prising firm of Ristine 81 May, of this city. They
had on exhibition n very elegant black walnut
chamber suite, of four pieces, together with n
wardrobe, the panels of which are made
of the most beautiful walnut burl we have ever
seen also II secretary book case, which for
design and Workmanship is decidedly superior
to anything ever before manufactured in this
section of country. The door panels, drawer
fronts and raised panels were all made of fine
walnut burl, of East Tennessee growth.
Messrs. Rstine & May received the first
premium for the best chamber set the best
wardrobe, the best secretary book case, the best
extension table, the best bedstead and the best
bureau also for the best and largest collection
of furniture, making a total of seven premiums,
all of which were we'll merited.
The above firm. by their energy and fair
dealing, bave built up business that is patron
lied not only by the people Of our own section,
but the adjoining States. Their factory in
North Knoxville is under the supervision of
Mr. s. A. Scruggs, whose skill as n finished
workman and exquisite taste in designing new
patterns is not excelled in this State

srAUB,s OPERA HOUSE.
Sinr Trenne 10 Arrive.

On Saturday night the Knoxville Histronic
Association. closed their weeks engagement to
a good audience, but we understand that they
will soon entertain their friends again. They
have acquitted themselves very creditaby, and
the public will hail with pleasure their re-
turn to the stage.
We learn that Mr.. Staub proposes to give n
grand Concert on the Both inst, to be composed
of the principal amateurs of the city. We feel
confident, from some of the names mentioned
that it will be great treat.
Mr.. Daniel Hanget is now in our city, and
has made arrangements to hold forth at Staub' ;
Opera House on the It'll of November, with II
star troupe. Miss Fannie Price isconnected with
this troupe, who is said TO be one OF the star
actresses ofAmerica. She has competed, and
some say successfully, with Maggie Mitchell,
of worldwide renown. Knoxville will greet
her with a crowded house
We learn also that Ole Bull, the greatest
volnist in the world, has written here, inquiring
rs to whether he could obtain the Opera House
on the Dist of January, and asking for dia-
gram of the same. The probability is that he
will visit this place ii so; Knox vile will enjoy
"a musical treat the like Of which she has never
enjoyed before.

Larceny.

A correspondent writing from Mount
Horeb, says that on last Saturday night Il
burglar broke into Mr.. j. A. Belts house,
entering the room where he and VIM. Il.
Corle were sleeping with the intention of
robbing them of their money and was par
TALLY successful, obtaining pocket book
and its contents, three or four dollars, to-
gether with some notes and other papers.
The two gentlemen were engaged in
making settlement that evening before
retiringi to bed and were handling some
money, when some one appeared at the
window, but thinking it was some of the
family no notice was taken, till near day
break, when they were aroused by the
robber, who succeeded in making his es-
cape through the window,
The next night the attempt was renew
ed, but Mr.. b. was on the alert and
promptly met the rascal in his lot, and
with the assistance of the moon light and
a gentleman who was boarding with him,
gave him a chase through the woods,
but he succeeded in making his escape.
