NEWPORT, Feb. 5, 1872.
This county has usually been behind
other counties IN East Tennessee in way
Of news, but is now ahead. On to-day we
had two County Courts held in this coun-
ty. According to u recent act of the Ten
nessee Legislature, courts were ordered
to be held at Newport Depot. in pursu-
ance of that order, the County Court add
iourned at Old Newport on the lst Mon
day III January to meet at Newport Depot
on the LIST Monday in February. Accord
ing TO the order, the Clerk. Sheriff and two
Of the quorum were on hand at the hour
81 calling the Court. Court having been
opened in the usual way they, proceeded
TO business, appointing u Chairman pro-
tenn and one for the quorum.
AT about u o'clock the following order
was received from Old 7ojcp:

The clerk not being willing to rebel
against an act Of the Tennessee legisla-
ture, and also an order from the County
Court of a month ago, was like the boys
mule, "he dldnt go hardly any. AS con-
sequence of his stubbornness the Chair
man being either without record or clerk,
proceeded to business, appointing clerk
pro tenn and two for quorum. Owing to
the lateness Of the hour and the press of
business, and the clerk being wholly I'M
acquainted with keeping record, J, G.
Larue vas called in as an assistant, he
having heretofore been q sort Of clerk.

certain ones who were ticketed were ordered
to fall as ii wounded with greater or less

William Presco.t s,nith.

The New York Times of Wednesday
says:
brief telegram from Baltimore states
that William Prescott Smith, master of
transportation of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, died in that city at a late hour
last evening. In the death of this gentle
man the railroad interests of the country
have sustained severe loss, for few men
nave done more for American railroads than
Mr.. Smith. He was born in humble cir
cumstances in Baltimore, and was about
fifty years of age. In 1850 be became a
clerk IN the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
office, and step by step rose to the position
OF master of transportation, the actual
manager of the vast working interests of
the road. During the war he was notable
tor directing the transportation of MANY
thousands Of troops over the road, which
carried more than any other in the United
States. In this connection he won the
friendship of Mr.. Lincoln and Secretary
Stanton, which continued warm and nm
broken until the death of both of those dis
tlnguished men. A disagreement with
President Garrett led to his retirement from
the road for a short time, and he was APP
pointed collector of internal revenue in
IN Baltimore, but resigned it to become
manager of the New York and Washington
through line, which he organized into its
present efficiency. Politically he was are
publican, and as far back as 1913 synrpa-
thlzed with the free soil movement So
orally he was one Of the most pleasant and |
witty of men, and his gentleness of dispo- |
sltlon had much to do with his great sue
cess during life.

The Reese DefnIcntfon.

A special to the Chicago Trt5une reads
thus:
WASHINGTON, October 2-The amount of
money lost by the defalcation of Major
Reese, the nephew of Senator Sherman, is
stated to be $4,000 The latter, who is now
in California, was teIegraphed TODAY that
his relative was in trouble, and asked what
should be done with him. The Senator re-
sponded that the government should prose
cute him. The departments here are taking
unto themselves great satisfaction in the
early discovery of this defalcation, and be-
fore it had reached any larger figures. 1t
is explained that this is the result of the
adoption of the system of checks and bal
ances, which was put in motion during the
war, but which was subsequently discarded,
and readOpted when the Hodge defalcation .

damage as f., quarantine would necessarily
entail. The papers and dispatches from
New Orleans do not show any increase of
fever and no one Will be so insane as to de-
mand isolation from city when the deaths

not average one day out of population Of

Davis directs quarantine to be established,
