..HONOR.. TO .WHOM HoNOR."

On our first page will be found the
proceedings of the stockholders
meeting of the E. T., Va, and Ga.
Railroad Company, with the report
of Superintendent and Vice Presi-
dent Jaques.
The exhibit made is of a crafty
ing character, and shows the road to
have been well managed. In closing
his report, R. T. Wilson, President,
says: We beg to make most IA
vorable mention of the very efficient,
economical, and satisfactory manner
in which your able Vice President
and Superintendent, Capt. Joseph
Jaques, and your able Vice Presi-
dent, G.. NJ. McGhee, together with
the other officers and employees of
your company have operated the
road during the past year, to whom
we return our thanks The tribute
which the President pays to those
connected with him is we'll deserved.
The urbanity and faithfulness of
Capt Jaques is known to all, and he
has so impressed himself upon those
with whom he has to do, that the
employees Of the company are re-
cognized at once as gentlemen.
It has been our misfortune to know
some railroad officials, whose lack of
pofteness was only equalled by the
length Of their ears. They always
seemed delighted if they could delay
giving asked-for information and
never appeared perfectly happy, I'M
less some humble individual we're
standing in their presence with head
uncovered. Such men are disgrace
to humanity, and dishonor their po-
sition.
So far as we know, no such indi-
vidual holds office or position of any
kind under Capt Jacques, and we are
heartily glad that such is the case.

IL We learn from the Chronicle
that Col. George b. Mcclellan, of
Sullivan county, has accepted the
appointment of Chief Marshall of
the Eastern Division Fair, rendered
him by President Payne. With W.
III. Turley as superintendent, and
Col. Mcclellan as Chief Marshal, ex-
hibitors at the fair have the assur-
ance that those two important de-
partments will be faithfully and i'm
partially looked after.

The FLOYD FAMILY.-There was
one death in our city yesterday
The last one of the Floyd girls died
yesterday morning of cholera, after
something over twenty-four hours
illness. There were eight in the
family that bore the name of Floyd.
and one that bore the name of Girls
ham, being the adopted daughter of
the late Col. George Edgar Grisham.
The father, mother and two of the
girls died in Jonesboro'. The re-
mainder coming here, were taking
down with the same disease, one of
them on the way here, and two of
them died a month or so ago. Yes
terday witnessed the death of the
last of the sisters that bore the name
of their father. A small brother
and the adopted daughter of Col.
Grisham are all that remain of the
family. There is no other cholera
case in the city that we could hear
of.-Kno10ille Chronicle, Sept. 9Th.

U We send specimen copy of
the GAZETTE to a number of old
friends in different parts of the coun-

accounts probably for their names
not appearing on our subscription

them-to enter their names as paid
in advance-and to visit them regu.
larly as long as they may elect.

DAYS. Us. LEE.

Jefferson Davis delivered speech
at the recent meeting of the South
ern Historical Association, at the
Montgomery White Sulphur Springs,
in which he is reported as saying:
I'VE have been cheated rNher
than conquered, and could we have
foreseen the result of the surrender,
we would have been free to-day. The
time has come for us to Vindicate
the truth for the sake of the unre-
corded dead who fought for truth
and died in a patriotic cause. These
scraps of truth do us injustice. We
must collect the material for the fu-
ture historian. 1t may have been
well to wait until passion and feel
ing should subside, but we should
delay no longer. Do we not see
decadence in all that makes people
great and happy! Therefore the
higher duty is on us.
Ladies', have often said in you
was my gratest hope for the future
Of our country. have never seen
a Southern woman who had been re-
constructed. The men of this day
yield the principles for which they
contended. but the children who sue
coed them will cherish and perpet-
uate Them
Patience ceases to be virtue
when listening to such reasonable
and ridiculous prattle. Whatever
Mr.. Davis may have been, he repre-
sents now, we are proud to believe,
not even respectable portion of
those who were once known as "last
ditchers" and "fire-eaters." They
are content and anxious to have a
united people and common broth
erhood. But before this can be had,
such fomenters of strife, malcontents
and fossil hacks as jefferson Davis
must learn lessons from past expert
ence.
How much more ennobling and pa
triotically Washington-like is the adj
vice of the immortal General Robert
E. Lee. 1t is said he made the fol
lowing remark to a lady who declar-
ed in his presence a determination
never to be reconstructed, and to
Undue her children with similar feel
ings of hostility.
mo, madam, do not instil into
the minds and hearts of your chill
dren any other than sentiments OF
fidelity and love to your country and
it's flag. Teach them to cherish their
country and it's institutions, for they
have but one country and but one
flag, and that is the country and the
flag of our forefathers."
The Virginia Sentinel, commenting
upon Davis's speech, says: I'VE
reject and denounce this interfer.
ence of Mr.. Davis in our affairs as
warranted and pernicious. We de.
ny his right to speak for the South
ern people, with whom he was never
heartily in accord in peace or in war,
and we repudiate all responsibility
for the utterance of this week, vain
and unfortunate old man. We have
other things to think of and to do
than to discuss, abstractly, what Mr..
Davis might done in 1865, if he had
known as much then as he thinks he
does now. To our mind, he is pro.
crossing backwards in learning"

HEALTH OF THE CITY.-In the
last two days and nights there have
been three deaths in the extreme
eastern part of the city from cholera
ic disease. Two of the cases have
been in bad health for some time.
The deaths were attributed to impru-
dent causes and no further trouble
is apprehended. We could hear OF
no other cases yesterday or last
night. Mrs. Harms and Mrs. Wilton.

10 On the morning of the 4th the
prisoners in the Knoxville Jail made
another desperate attempt to escape,
which, after the usual fighting, chas-
ing and blowing. was frustrated. If
it wasn't for that Jail and Toodie

have a hard time; but as it Is they
are enabled to come to time hand

IMSuGRANTs.-The Southside train
yesterday afternoon brought in ten
or q dozen French immigrants. who
were en- route for Knoxville, where
they will make their future homes.
They were induced to come over by
a French citizen of Knoxville, tail
or, who has had great difficulty in
procuring reliable hands. Hereafter,
we can order the latest styles from
Knoxville instead of Paris.-Lynch-
burg Republican.
The gentleman referred to by the
Republican, as inducing this acces-
sion to the industrial population of
the metropolis, is probably Mr..
Cuquil, of the well known and popu-
lar house Of Cuquil & Pillett, mer-
chant tailors and clothiers, Knox
vile.

THE SUPREME COURT.

We learn from the Chronicle Of
Tuesday that the Supreme Court
met on Monday and without taking
up any business, made the announce
ment of its adjournment till some
time in November. Of course this
action does not please the Chronicle.
and it grumbles and throws all of its
ability in to the creation of such
whitening sarcasm as follows:
"THEEE has been just about enough cholera in
Knoxville in the past ten days to make lively
stomach ache, if parceled out among six well fed,
well paid servants.
A CASE of measles at Chattanooga would force
the refugee court to abandon the railroad and make
a trip overland, through Georgia and Alabama to
get to Jackson.
THE prisoners jail awaiting trial think that the
Supreme Court might have thought of THEIR chan
ces before cutting out in such hot haste to jackson.
THE Supreme Court has adjourned to meet at
Jackson, provided the whooping cough does not
make its appearance"
Now we doubt if there was so
great 8 necessity for the assemblage
of the Court that a few weeks or
months delay would play such havoc
to the business of lawyers aud liti-
giants as the Chronicle would have it's
readers believe. We even doubt if
the Court could have long continued
its labors on account of there having
been but little, if any, legal business
transacted in the inferior courts Of
East Tennessee during the past sum-
mer. Court officers and attorneys
have been as much demoralized by
the cholera panic that has swept over
our section as other classes of bust
ness men, and we seriously doubt if
transcripts, records, returns, etc., to
the Supreme Court were in such con-
dition at this time to allow the dis
patch of much business by that body.
In brief. the Chronicle makes a great
blow, and as usual, gathers very lit
tie wool.
