The Credit Mobilier Committee meets to day
and is to sit with open doors; no longer a white
washing committee. The press of the country
has extorted this justice from a reluctant Con-
gresa. The whitewashing ia at an end and
the Congressmen who received OAkes Ames'
bFibes will have to face an indignant constitu-
ency. All manner Of excuses may be expected
from such immaculate gentlemen as Vice
President Colfax and Vice President elect
Wilson. The latter tries to escape himself by
exposing his wife's faihng,or fondness for money
easy made. But Mr. Wilson can't shut the eyes
Of the people in that way. a truly upright
husband is especially careful not to have his
wife stoOp to SO degrading position. The very
idea thst the Vice President elect allowed Mrs.
Vice President elect to dabble in such dirty
water proves that the household, which the peo.
pie have just bonoTed, is not above reproach.
The names Of Dawes and Bingham are also
connected with the matter. 1t is somewhat
surprising that Ben. Buffers name has not
been meQtioned as one of the recipients
Of the stock. Should he be free of the
stain. he will be apt TO revenge himself on
his Massachusetts, colleagues, and pay off some
old scores. Spooney does not forget his tormen.

BucoIieaI GuIIibiIity.

Yesterday afternoon party of wags put
up n hoax on cultivator of cereals and
escuents, which exercised the latter very
much and greatly excited his indignation.
Mr.. Rustic was not teetotaller and after
disposing of his "tru elk" set out to find a
gin mill where he might invest portion
of his lucre in a drop of invigorating
fluid. Being ignorant of the ways of the
city,. he asked where the liquid beverage
could be obtained, and was directed by
one of the waggish gentlemen to a num-
Der of places which he designated, and
even furnished him with a written direc-
ton as to the quantity and quality desired;
but strange to say at every place he was
told that owing to new law he could only
get drink or BARREL at his option, which
as he wanted pint to take home he was
compelled to decline, greatly to his disgust.
The thought of the outrage made the
sanguineous current in his veins fairly siz-
zle, and he was unsparing in his denun-
citation of the trainers of such odious
laws" saying it was "bad enough
when poor folks in the country, who
raised their own corn, were not allowed to
still little fur use in case of sickness, but
slammed 'em in jail; and now they were
not even allowed to buy bottle full for a
morning dram, which was mighty hard,
for if Teller took drink and never car
ried any home with him, the women folks
wouldn't believe him, but would up with
a skillet and down man 'ud 60"
At a late hour in the afternoon the fell
low had not summoned courage to face the
partner of his bosom without the liquor
he so coveted, and was being condoled
with by his imagined friends for the
nervousness of the claw he solemnly
believed had been enacted by the munich
pal government in direct opposition to
State statutes regulating the traffic.

Letter from jefferson County.

DANDRIDGE, Tenn, March 6, 1873.
EDITORS CHRONICLES: Since my last
note matters have grown more amicable
in the Methodist Church at this place.
The thermometer has been lower at this
point this week than at any other time
during the winter.
Chancery COURTS in session at this place,
His Honor, Judge H. c. Smith, presiding.
The Knoxville bar has been ably repre-
scented in the persons of Col. James Cooke
and Col. Alfred Caldwell, late candidate
for Congress in the battering-ram district.
We had a homicide few days since,
eight miles above here on the farm of
Robert Eavens. The difficulty arose about
some corn meal. A Mr.. Patillo losing
his life at the hands of Mr.. Brady, who
has not yet been brought to justice.
Judge Swami makes his appearance be-
fore Esquires Holtsinger and Carson this
afternoon on a charge of slaughtering a
canine belonging to Parson Joseph Hill.
0. C. King, of Messy Creek, appears for the
plaintiff and Swami for himself
The county poor-house has been let out
to the highest bidder for one year with
the following results: w. n. Hill, S4S
per head; Sheriff VIM. Walker, $40, w.
H. Newman, $50. Although, Mr.. Hip s
bondsmen were worth more than one hun
dred thousand dollars, it was thought the
bids were insufficient, and our worthy
C0dlTIlldH Oh IDe DOdTu Ol COMMISSIONERS
always having the interest of the poor at
stake, made proposition to Mr.. Hill to
sell out, which he did, for the sumo $50, and
as we are informed, the bid was then rails
ed to 500, and given to Mr.. Newman for
three years during life or good behavior.
Our county can beat the world on grand
and magnificent projects. In little more
than year we have projected and survey
ed a narrow-gauge railroad from this point
TO Wolf Creek. Also, grand through
trunk line from Norfolk, Va, to San
! Diego, California, which we have succeed
ed in procuring charter for
| from Clifton to Knoxville. More re-
Gently, more ADLER and sprightlier minds
have conceived and projected plan for a
large and commodious barn to be built
upon the poor farm for the accommodation
of the paupers. This we think good thing
if it could be run on the steward plan, as
the houses we now have, the way they are
now kept would hardly be recognized as
second rate army garden houses.

How Does il Strike You?

EDITORS CHRONICLE: There is a Won
derful revolution going on in the public
mind with regard to the Importance of
Spring Expeditions for the exhibition of
the industrial products of the country.
They are now engaging and absorbing the
public interest in this direction through
out the great States of Ohio, Illinois and
Indiana. There will be this Spring grand
exhibitions at Cincinnati, Indianapolis
and Chicago. The success which has at
tended them, in the past, financially and
otherwise, is the real cause of the profound
feeling which is so strikingly apparent in
the sections referred to.
But you are aware that Tennessee, also,
is engaged in this work, She has has had
two Spring Exhibitions, both of them
marked with the most extraordinary sue
cess. / am told that the last one held in
Nashville was immensely remunerative,
while il was the means of accomplishing
vast beneficial results to the State. Anoth-
er one will be held in May next, and from
the notes of preparation which are being
heard all over the State, the presumption
is, it will exceed in interest and profit the
preceding ones.
Now what is the obvious tendency OF
these expositions Simply that of en-
croaching upon our annual fairs and of Ill
timately elbowing them out of existence.
Neither the Ohio, the Indiana, nor the II
| linois fairs are near so well represented
| since the Inauguration of the exposition
| feature. How is it Tennessee The Nash.
vile fair is a comparative failure. So is
the Memphis fair. II must be attributed tC
the introduction of the other feature.
In view Of these significant facts, have
a suggestion to make. Let the Directors
of the Eastern Division Fair sell their pres
ent grounds and re-invest the proceeds il
the procuring of suitable grounds and o
erecting the necessary buildings in the
heart of this city for purposes of CRANE
annual spring exposition. How does i
strike you? Is it not apparent that i
would, in the first place. be of vast benefi
! to Knoxville? Think of the thousands o
people who would attend. And they woul'
come from all parts of the country. Wha
an advertisement it would give to Eas
Tennessee and'to our growing city Yol
can't realize the advantages which woul'
accrue in this respect, 10 say nothing of til
impetus It would impart TO our industrial
| interests.
