THE FOURTH AT CAREYVILLE.


At about I clock, A. NJ, we started with
many others on the excursion train provided by
the Knoxville and Ohio Railroad Company for
Careyville, the present terminus of the above
named road. On our arrival at Coal Creek
we were Joined by the Sabbath school at that
place.
At Just half past ten, our train arrived at the
Carcyvillc depot, where we were received and
greeted by hundreds of children, women and
men, who had early gathered in from mountain
and glen'
The marshas quickly put us in column and
marched us n short distance north of the village
to n beautiful grove on Mrs. Careys plantation,
where we found good stand, good seats and
plenty of water.
The exercises were opened by music and
| prayer, when number of capital speeches were
delivered. Among those who addressed the
multitude were Judge Andrews, Judge Houk,
Rev. j, II. Ford, A. Caldwell, Esq, of Knox
vile, and DR.. Marshall of Jacksboro. We
were delighted with the addresses-short, spicy,
unique, no one speaking over ~ minutes. The
meeting was a grand success. Over one thou
| sand persons were present. The ladies of the
| schools and those in the vicinity of Careyville
had prepared n sumptuous dinner, and the eat
ing thereof was one Of the most interesting parts
| of the whole affair. Too much praise can not
be given to the lady committees.
We take pleasure in mentioning the names of
Robert Donelson, j. w. Ault, Col. Queencr
| Frank Kincaid, Jos Wheeler and H. Il. Stone,
| officers and committee of arrangements. Their
| constant attentions to the pleasure and comfort
of all concerned proved that they had been
| wisely chosen. Col. A. s. Mariner, of Knox
| vile, did much to assist in making the gather.
| ing n success.
The music was very good especially that
rendered by the Coal Creek band of singers
! In fact, we have never been more pleased at n
celebration, and we only regret that great
number of our hot and dusty citizens in Knox
vile could not have been with us to enjoy the
| cool shade, the grand mountain scenery and the
cold gushing spring waters that leap from the
! mountain side in the vicinity of Careyvilc

To the Voters Of Knor County.
FELLow-CtT1ZENs By an Act of the Cen
eral Assembly of the State of Tennessee, APP
proved December, s, 1871, ii devoves upon you
ut the election, on the first Thursday of August
next, TO elect an Attorney General for the Dis

people of the State in the Criminal Court of

many personal and political friends, and in nc
cordance with my own inclination and wishes in
the premises, | announced myself some weeks
since, n candidate for that important position
According to what ! regard the duty of every
man who aspires to public confidence and stew
ardship take this occasion, and adopt this me-
dunn of communicating with my fellowciti-
zcns whose suffrage seek, While politics can
have but little connection with judicial con-
test, in the abstract and certainly should
have nothing whatever to do in the
administration of the aw-and such shall
be the guiding-principle of my official action
if elected yet. that no man may act and vote
MISUNDERSTANDING it seems emnently proper
to say that am now, and always have been,
Republican in politics, and although quite lib
eral in my views, | am not liberal enough to
vote the Democratic ticket in disguse-sugar-
coated with Greeley and Brown.
1t is proper, also, to state that my Kepubll-
canism is of no recent origin. Born and raised
and having lived in Knox county the greater
part of my life | was nevertheless taught
from my earliest infancy, to look upon the
institution of slavery ms fragrant violation of
:" The Rights of Man. and am proud to say
that was original friend of the coored race
This mere fact however, gives me no precedence
over those who have come to see the interests of
men in the same light in which l was taught to
regard them from my youth up, and which
views have grown with my growth and strength
cned with my strength. Several very clever
gentlemen are already announced as my COM
petitors, and others are perhaps in allegiance,
against whom l shall have nothing but the kind
words hereditary
nights ne do l seek an election through
the influences of ancestral prestige, but sub
nit my claims to the people, at the ballot box,

many of you as possible between now and the
election,

are as follows, viz 100 feet long by 40 feet wide
to be three stories high and to contain twenty
four rooms, Is feet wide by 20 feet long, each
story to be eleven feet high. Two halls run
ming across the building eight feet wide, with
stairs in each leading to the second and third
floors; each room will be well lighted and venti-
lated and everything done in a manner to en-
nance the comfort Of the students.
The front is ornamented with center projec-
tons, finishing up with gable and raking cor
nice and connecting with the level cornice
which will be Of galvanized iron, finished in a
neat and ornamental style. There will be fifty
six windows finished for galvanized iron caps
arranged so as to give avery fine architectural APP
pearance to the building. The two doors for the
halls will be surmounted by brick arches, these
tilaton of the building. Roof yentilations con-
nected with the halls, add to the comfort ofeach
floor.
The architectural style ofthe building is Gre
clan in design and when completed will be a
handsome addition TO the University and
grounds. The estimated cost of the structure is
about ten thousand dollars.
The design was drawn by our accomplished
Architect Mr.. A. @. Bruce. The contract for
the brick work has been given to Mr.. +. A,
Flanagan; the lumber is TO be furnished by
Messrs. Burr & Terry. The contract for the
other portions of the work have not, ms yet,

tees commence to erect the Library building for
which the requisite amount Of funds should be
furnished by the corporation il they intend TO
come up to their agreement.

Manufactures our Strong Poin!

That the future of Knoxville is greatly de-
pendent upon manufactures, no one who has
given the subject any consideration will dispute.
1t is self-evdent proposition that industrial
enterprises must increase in our city, if it is to
take and maintain its position in the rank of
growing, enterprising and progressive cities. A
fact so susceptible of statistical demonstration
and of such universal admission must at no dis
tant day arouse resident capitalists TO a clos
er investigation of the situation, TO more vigor-
Gus action, and 10 the necessity Of greater di-
versity of industries for the employment of
skilled laborers.
The Lynchburg Iirginidn applies this idea to
that place, and it applies with equal force to
Knoxville. Every year, as facilities for trans
portation are extended and increased, the area
of the districts which look TO this city for sup
plies may be extended and the sale of manufac-
tured goods increased, and in this way, with a
full appreciation OF the value of manufacturing
enterprises, their number should be certain to
increase until Knoxville becomes master of tho
situation and reaps the lions share Of the bene-
fits.
1t has been-snid that Lynchburg is ms large as
tobacco can make her, and hence her citizens
are alive 10 the importance of manufactures,
which is not only the great desderatum of Ten
nessee and Virginia, but indeed Of the whole
South.

IiESITATING.
who ShnIIbe the MANI

We were incorrect perhaps in our statement
yesterday that the "town clique" had condos
cendcd to allow the people of the country to
vote for j. NJ. Yarneli Esq, for County Court
Clerk. We have been informed that Col j. C..
Luttrell was complimented with the clique's MS
sent to become candidate for that position.
Some IF the showing ones were of opinion that
Esquire Garncll was rather obscure TO be hon
ored with their confidence and furthermore
they thought it an easy matter to bnmboozle'
him and pull the wool over his eyes, Whether
he quietly submits or will prove refractory re-
mains to be seen.
We have also heard something of the n,odus
opcrdHdi by which they arrived Mt n basis for
the pretended strength of candidates. A can
vasser was sent out ostensibly for each ward,
who saw Il few of the voters most convenient
and reported that such one was the strong
est man for such u position, thereupon he was
declared the man. We learn that Major Graft,
candidate for Attorney General, was never con-
suited and that he was not voted forvery much,
probably from the fact that he did not wear the
right kind of cloth. Other candidates express
surprise Mt the action of those would-bc mas

The value Of ~ Coed OHicer

The Clinton affair serves to teach the people
the value of n bold, fearless, resoute Sheriff
In case Of an emergency like that he should be
quick to act, mt the same time cautious, prudent
firm. a bloody riot, or ailray may sometimes
be prevented by the bold and prompt resolu-
ton formed in the breast of peace officer, by
which his official course is governed. a slow,
phlegmatic, hestating disposition will give a
mob time to act, ana will inspire them with the
impotence of the opposition they are to OK
peCt from official quarters.
The people of Knox county have been
blest with good sherifis, and they have appreci-
ated such services by retaining them in office, the
full constitutional period. Our present Sheriff
is no exception to the rule. He is brave, hon
est, and capable. He has shown this in militia
ry and in civil life He vas brave and eff
ccnt officer in the army, and Knox county new
er had better Sheriff. If nm official act re-
quircs courage, he has it. If shrewdness or
caution is needed. he possesses both. If the
misfortunes of fellow man require sympathy,
he is as generous as he is courageous. Men of
all parties admit his efficiency as an officer No
one questions his capacity. Is it right that he
should be beaten merely because he has indie
pendencc enough to entertain political scnti-
ments of his own, and dares to express them
when occasion requires Certainly not, The
people will ponder well what they are doing,
before they will turn ont good sheriff, and
risk getting an Indifferent one. Tho voters of
Knox county understand the capacity of men;
and if left to themselves they never err in their
judgment of men. Town clques and secret
caucuses may be actuated by selfish and i'm.
proper motives, but the people, if not unduly
influenced, are always right

Tho CIiaue MIDDLE.

The result of the secret caucus last Monday,
inaugurated by town clique" is still in the
dark. Mr.. King, candidate tor District Attor
ney, bowed gracefully to its edict, and so did
but any further difference is not perceptible.
The clique took the opportunity of saying to
Esquire Yarnell that he wasn't their man"
and feeling that they were in tight place,
sought to put the harness on Col. Luttrell. He
bandly informed them that he didn't propose
to work if he was to be used only in tight places
Or perhaps he didn't consider the compliment n
very high one, when the source was considered.
The town clique had better try it again.
Why is it that they opposed Esquire larncll ?
Is he labOring under anything which the mana
gers of the Democratic party consider in the
mature of disability?
