~ A Washington special says
ex-President Johnson and General
Holt are watching each other from
opposite ends of the Capital, the one
revising bitter attack, and the
other putting his statement in
pamphlet with new evidence.
Judge Holt declines to state how
many members of the military COM
mission refused to vote for Mrs.
Surratt's execution. as the laws of
court-mnrtiaI forbid it. He SAYS
Mr.. Stanton, when Secretary of War,
and In accord with President John
son, forbade him to set himself right
In the public prints. Holt, while
combating JOhson on the matter of
keeping back the recommendation
% mercy, continues to hold the opin-
Ion that Mrs. Surratt was a princi-
pal, and was properly tried under
the Articles of War, and he is now
preparing TO show that this was
Johnson's position also, but that he
acted from resentment. while lie
tHoItl merely did his duty. and
Wished 10 saFs the Homan's life.

u A Washington telegram of

fishes four and half columns in the
Chronicle in answer to Judge Hollis
allegations that Mr.. johnson disre-
garded the recommendations of a
majority of the court for communal
ton in Mrs. Suratt's case. Mr..
johnson never saw the recommends

gued that the question of sex ought
not to be considered, and urged an
early execution. Mr.. Johnson's card
is regarded as mastery. Mr.. John
son complains that Judge Holt with

DEAR GAZETTE After leaving
your city on my up country trip
[ stopped off at the city of Jones
boro' and stayed all night in The
bran new hotel-''Eutaw House.
You'd bet we had nice things tc
eat and sleep on, there.
I noticed nothing there Of any
great note, except what l found at 8
good many other places-''h hard
times" 1t is very true everybody
is trying to get married there, and
from what | can learn several OF
them are likely to prove successful.
The thing commences next week and
when it will end no one can tell. 1t
is likely to turn into an epidemic be-
fore the Sc0agge is over. / saw what
was coming, and thought would
leave before | was stricken d0orn
with the malady, for think a marry
ing epidemic is far worse than a
cholera epidemic, except Eve heard
a person was not apt to have it very
badly more than once. l knew if /
took it badly and come back to
Knoxville, it would be sure to break
out here, as several Of our boys are
sick now with it, and one new case
brought from Jonesboro would start
all epidemic that might last till warm
weather.
On Wednesday last. l went down
to GreeneviIle. and there came up a
tremendous storm of wind. rain and
snow. 1 suffered greatly for want
Of my overcoat. which l forgot to
take with me when / left home-the
reason why l forgot to take it was
because ! did not have one to take.
Stayed all night at Rogersvllle on
Thursday night, and the only excit-
ing thing heard OF there, was a
butckered hog brought in and sold,
which weighed, neat. COG pounds.
Messrss Carson & Wells were the
purchasers. They will have a good
greasy time eating ground hog meat
this iyinter--that is, if they grind it
up into sausage meat.
Wheat is looking fine everywhere.
Hope we will have q good wheat
crop next year. We now have wheat.
and corn, and pork enough. in the
country, to bring in a good deal of
money, if it could be cashed. Some
are now being made. from
different points on the railroad.
