Four witnesses were examined and the prose-

The law in such cases is made and provided
that an averment to an indictment must speci-

case under consideration, and on account of a
mere tcchnicality, one of the plainest possible
cases was decided not guilty according to law,

doubtless have caused different result.

The sheriff. Election.

a paper was circulated on the streets yester-
day, with no name attached intended to inhu-
ence the election for Sheriff. The idea sought
to be sneabingly conveyed in this circular, so
low that no man claims its authorship, is that
Sheriff Gossett has disqualified himself from
holding Office by n violation of the law that for
bids giving any fee, gift or gratuity in procuring
any such office. In evidence of this,a card with
six signatures is published, the genuineness of
which has been denied, the proof demanded and
not furnished. The typographical appearance
Of the document shows that it emanates from
the Press and Herald Office Whether
Sheriff Gossetts opponent will acknowledge the
paternity of this little paper or not, we are not
prepared to say, but if this is the mode of war.

we are talking about, when we say that Mr..
Gossett is prepared to carry the "war into Afri-

such charge that will be striking exempliR.
cation of the old adagc, that ''men who live in
glass houses should not throw stones"
The idea seems to be, to divert the minds of
the people from the issue that affects them, and
the principal ISSUE to-wit the capacity of can
didates for filling the office. As we said last
week, electioneering stories are easily invented
Charges are easily made.
The tongue of SANDER travels swiftly, and he
who aspiros to public position can not hope to
escape its internal attacks. But on this question
| of capacity any one may satisfy himself Cos
sett has been sheriff two years. Hudiburg once
served as deputy sheriff, and filled other public
offices. Let those who have any doubts on the
subject 60 to the records of our courts and exam
! inc for themselves. If any candid man who
knows the qualifications of the two men, whether
for promptness, courtesy, courage or business ca
pacty, will state that Gossett is not capable and
well qualified for the position, we will abandon
him, and the people should abandon him.
He has lived in Knox county all his life He
is well known by men Of all parties. No mar
| who knows him will deny that he is honest
| No man dare to say to his face, or over his owr
signature, that he has perjured himself, rs is in
timated in the cowardly, sneaking paper that
was circulated on the streets yesterday. Unit
some responsible man will come out over hi
own signature and charge Mr. Gossett with vic
ating his oath or committing dishonest acts
the people will consider the vile source from
whence such charges emanate, and will credi
them accordingly. Unless this is DONE and !
never will be, the people will look only to hi
capacity ms an officer, and for that reason h
will be triumphanty elected.

cordance to resolution of the County Repubi

received from the Committee in that district.
Stops were taken for a thorough organization
of the party in the country, preparatory to the
State and National contest. This committee is
composed of the very best men in the county
men who are actuated by pure motives in poll
tics as well as in the common affairs of every

Blanks were distributed in every district pre-.
paratory to the formation of Grant and Wills or
clubs and in few days the honest people o.
the country will speak in such way as to lay
in the shade all town meetings, the principle
feature of which is burning tar barrels, music
by brass bands, chivalrc yells, &c.
We call upon Republicans in every part OF
the county to join with these gentlemen an
push forward the party organization.

formerly in the employ of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad, died in Chstta-
nooga of excessive hemorrhage. He had been
an attack of yellow jaundice, and the day he.
fore was able TO sit up. when he was attacked
with hemorrhage from the nose which was cop
iousas TO cause alarm. BY the exertions Of his
physicians the flow was stopped, but in a little
pores of the skin, saturating his shirt and all
coming in contact with his body. He lived
hut a short time after this second attack.
