rewarded by that section for his efforts to aid
the rebellion, at the time Of its inception. The

TWENTY THOUSAND MORE.
An Additional Appropriation for the
knoxville Court House ana Post
once Building

On Monday last, the House Commit
tee on Appropriations agreed to insert
in the General Appropriation Bill an
additional amount of 1900 for the
building soon to be completed i'm this
city. We presume it will be used for
furnishing and protecting the building.
1t is liberal appropriation, and re.
hects credit upon our worthy represent
tatives in the two Houses of Congress
showing, as it does, that they are not
without influence.
We do not know the precise use to
which this sum will be appropriated,
but 1t will not all be required for fur
nishing the building, and completing
the grading of the grounds. Under
the administration of Gen. J. II. Hol-
man, who has acted a. Superintendent,
a great deal of money has been saved
to the Government. The Supervising
Architect was fortunate and Knoxville
was fortunate i'm obtaining his services.
1t is possible that portion of the
sum mentioned might be obtained and
used in the purchase of additional
grounds, adding beauty and conve
nience to the magnificent structure
now nearly complete. 1t will be re.
membered that Mr.. Mullett when here
suggested the extension of Market
Square to Clinch street, and that the
South end of the Square might b used
as a park. II would be n small park
but would nevertheless prove some
thing of which we would all feel
proud.
We do not know what will he ne.
cessary to obtain at least a portion of
this fund for such use, but whatever
Is necessary we ought to do. We can
rely upon the influence of Senator
Brownlow and Representatives May
nard and Thornburgh for all the as
sistance necessary. The tax payers of
the city would approve a small appro-
priation out of the city treasury for
| such purpose, ifbecomes necessary. II
Clinch street can be widened to re
spectacle proportions, and Market
Square can be extended as indicated
it will be a grand improvement.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
anderson County Bonds Declared Null
and Void.

Anderson county, previous to the
war, issued one hundred thousand dol
lars in bonds, to the Knoxville and
Kentucky Railroad Company. The
County Court, about one year ago, act.
ing under the advice of its council, Col.
II. Il. Gibson, decided that it would
not pay either the bonds or the inter
est thereon, Col. Gibson, having ad-
vised the court that the bonds had been
illegally issued, and that the county
was under no legal obligation TO pay
them. About six months ago, John l..
Ross, of Clinton, brought an action of
mandamus against the County Court
to COMPEL the court to levy tax
whercwith to pay said bonds. The
suit was determined this week before
Judge NJ. l.. Hall, at a special term
of the Circuit Court at Clinton, held for
the purpose. The county was represent
ed by Col. Henry X. Gibson and Judge
l.. c. Houk, and the plaintitfby Mr.. w.
G.. Taylor, of Morristown. The suit
was brought as test suit, Mr.. Taylor
really appearing for nearly all of the
bondholders. The argument of the case
was lOllS anu tAlduSllNe, JuuBe I1Ouk
and Col. Gibson especially distinguish
ing Themselves, each having made ar
guments of great power, and demon
strated by the most cogent logic, and
by references to authorities, that the
issuance of said bonds was absolutely
unauthorized, and the court so decided.
The result is hailed with great delight
in the county, and Houk and Gibson
are the heroes of the hour. 1t should
be added, that, according to the decision
of the court, the county has fully paid
the one hundred thousand dollars she
contracted to pay, having paid it in the
shape of interest before this suit was
brought.
This decision saves the county
two hundred thousand dollars in principal
and interest. The county voted to take
one hundred thousand dollars in stock,
payable in six annual installments, but the
County Court issued the thirty years inter.
! est-bearing bonds in lieu of the six annual
installments withot authority of law, and
the bonds on their face refer to the County
Court records for their authority. The
records show an utter want Of authority.
This wa- notice To- all the holders of the
bonds
This railroad tax of about seven thou
sand dollars yearh has been a grieyous bur-
den TO the county, depreciatinG property,
