Of the count has been dispatched rapidly,

The subject of interest on the streets

Congressional honors. Judge Gillenwa-

MYsTERYoF THE COVE.
A " oman Found Dead on I'll,
Road.

Our MaryvilIe correspondent writes, un>
der date of Saturday night:
L hear it reported this evening. that a
pension woman 10 Tuckalecchee Cove
(namc forgotten by party reporting a day
or too since, was founl deadly tie side
of the road, under rather strange cir,um>
stances. She was on her way to a store
and when found, was lying by the side of
the road dead, with her pocket-bcok and
knife in her hand, and her horse standing
near her blood was strewn around on
the ground, but there were no wounds on
the person of the deceased, except the ap.
pearancc of having been choked. We
will probably learn the particulars in a
day or two.-PrcSS and Hcold.

Wildwood, Texas, March 22d, 1874.

Messrs. Editors; Having just re,
turned from a short tripto Greene county,
| think Jour readers may be interested in
knowing how things look along the Nola.
chucky and what the Furnaces down there
are doing.
Wheat along the entire distance from
Embreeville to Hayesville looks beauti,
fully, and, if present prospects are real,
lied, the wheat crop this year in Wash
ington county will be worth recording.
l don't know that more land is planted in
wheat this year than before but appear
ances indicate such to be the case,
The greater majority of the fruit trees
were in blossom, and, if the frost will only
leave the trees alone, the scanty crops Of
tho last two years will be more than made
up. | fancy the owners of fruit trees, in
the section of country through which |
passed, would make money if they were
to prune their trees more thoroughly thun
they do.
In a few places oats were up and look>
ing we'll, though there was not enough to
prognosticate on, still from the amount
sown, | presume there will be good feed
for horses this year. d. Y. of course!
The Unaka furnace has been ia blast
since the I'd inst, and is now making
about eleven tons Of fair No. 9 foundry
iron per day. Mr.. Gleason is not selling
any, preferring to hold on rather than sell
at low figures, and has at the furnace and
at Greeneville some 500 tons Of metal.
All hands at Hayesulle are busy either in
the tunnels, the coalinggrounds or around
the furnace, and indications Of a long and
successful blast are good.
In a new tunnel, about one hundred
feet from the bottom Of a shaft eighty,
FIVE feet deep, the miners have struck a
vein Of the ore that was used some three
years ago. Excellent iron was made
Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1874-04-02

from this ore, and when. enough to run
the furnace steadily can be depended
upon from this bank, the grade Of iron
will be greatly improved.
The Pottsdalo furnace has not been 10
blast since the Goth Of last January. The
masons are busy cutting and dressing a
new hearth, which will probably be in
place in about a fortnight. During last
blast, from September 9th, 1878, the av-
eruge yield per day was six tons. This
for a cold blast furnace is very good.
The owners Of this furnace bave six hun.
dred and forty tons Of metal in the yard
at the furnace, having sold none for some
time, aud like the Uuaka owners, are
hanging on for better times.
l would recommend any person, pur-
posing to travel along the valley of the
Nolachucky to secure the services of a
guide, or else provide themselves with a
pocket-m'p, for if they don't do it they'll
lose their way. 60 two miles where one
will do, and get on the worst road every
time. If they don't as Mr.. Weller saws,
"Fm von Dutchman and you're another,
Sammy, and that's all there is about it."
The Temperance tide is already tapping
the foot of that region. Meetings have
been held at both Hayesulle and Potts
dale, and considerable interest manifested
by the people. I believe some seventy
live or one hundred persons have signed
the pledge at the two places.
don't know that I've given you any
news, but Of that you and your readers
must be the judges, if l haven't just ats
tribute it to the fact of my being an
AMATEUR.

Sumner IS Grave.

Summers grave lies near the westerly
confines of Mount Auburn Cemetery. A

hangs it,. On one side stands an ivy

from the church in procession, was placed
beside the grave. 1t was twelve feet in

A prominent republican of Hawkins

SHALL WE NAVE ANY MORE
SALARY GRABS!

Had the members Of Congress who
voted for the Salary Grab anticipated in
the smallest degree the intense feeling of
indignation which their action on that oc.
casion would arous among the people
they doubtless would have repudiatcd the
meastr re at once. But their experience Of
the peoples forbearauce in submitting to
outruges Of a like character in which
Congressman had received a liberal share
Of the spoils gave them courage to once
more tempt fate and risk the consequences
With their constituents. Unfortunately
for them in this case the whole netarious
proceeding was forced to become a part
of the political history Of the country and
there was no possibility of Its escaping
the scrutinizing examination Of an out
ragged public. The natural result was an
overwhelming storm Of just indignation
on the part of the taxpayers from one end
Of the land to the other. They had pa
sient'y subr lifted to a system Of taxation
which in some instances amounted to al.
most prohibition in order 10 defray the
necessary expenses Of the Government
and to discharge the National debt; but
when the men' whom they had elected
under the most solemn promises that re-
trcnchment and economy would be their
vatchword In managing the affair, Of the
Government seized the first opportunity
to gil their own pockets at the expense of
a tax ridden people they, arrived at the
conclusion that they had been betrayed
and were not slow to stamp the action of
their representatives with the seal Of their
unqualified condemnation. At the next
meeting Of Congress the members at
tempted to atone by repealing the law
believing they could still get along on
five thousand a year, but their repentance
came too late. They committed a wrong
which they have themselves acknowledged
by an attempted reparation and the PEG.
pie will hold them accountable for it.
Now the question is shall we have any
"L .|
more Salary Grabs in the future? What
assurance have we if we send these men
back to Congress that they will not repeat
the same game. 1t lies in their power to
increase their salaries to an unlimited
amount and what further or better en-
couragement will they need than the en-
dorsement Of their constituents who by
that act assume all the responsibility of
the increased pay. Are we as a people
prepared to do this? Can we afford 20
do it? Noone pretends to deny that the
act increasing the salaries was o wrong
and an outrage. Now shall we take
upon ourselves the burthen of that res
possibility OF leave it where it legiti-
mately belongs: on the shoulders of the
Grabbers themselves? This is the ques,
ton our people will be called upon to de-
eide at the next election. How shall we
decide it?

The New Gas Company.

Our report of the meeting at Tenn
pies Bank, in yesterdays paper, shows
that a good feeling exists toward this
new enterprise, and we are glad to be
able to state that the committee ap-
pointed to solicit subscriptions are
meeting with encouraging success.
They were at work yesterday and with
q laudable ambition to interest every
consumer of Gas in the new works, are
masking II thorough canvass. There
is, however u little too much modesty
on the part OF our leading citizens. We
have men Of capital and brains in our
city, and the careful and intelligent
manner in which they have conducted
their own business is good evidence of
their competence to manage affairs of
public moment. They are, however,
Il little inclined to stand back and
wait for others TO take the lead, and
our Interests sometimes suffer on this
account. We hope that no indisposi-
ton on the part Of our leading citizens
to put themselves forward will he al
lowed to defeat this enterprise. 1t is
one o. the utmost importance to the
whole city, and promises to be very
profitable. to those who invest their
money in it. The shareholders will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
while their money is bringing them in
a handsome revenue, they are at the
same time comforting II great benefit
on the public, and this should stimu-
late every one to make an extra eXer-
ton.
