the President decided this testimony could
not be admitted under the notice to con-
testee. Pending a motion for leave TO

Her Celtic fIighness Interviewed by
Catholic Priest.
The KnOruIle Press and Herald of Feb.
p, says: Father Marion left Knoxville on
the noon train, yesterday, for Greeneville.
He informed our reporter that it was his
intention to use his influence to induce
Mrs. Ward TO quit whisky selling. He said
that he thought Mrs. Ward would urge the
plea that no other business was sufficiently
lucrative to enable her to support her
helpless husband and her children. This
he would meet by the proposition that If
Mrs. Ward wOald close her saloon, that he
had no doubt the ladies would establish
her in another line of business, say family
groceries, and agree 20 patronize her. If
nothing better could be done, he was conf
dent the Knoxville ladies would aid Mrs.
Ward and her family in that direction,
should they come to Knoxville. Father
Marion said he should take a room at the
Greeneville hotel, and send for Mrs. Ward,
and would telegraph us the result OF his
conference with her, at night.
DAILY CORRESPONDENCE.
GREENEVILLE, Feb. 24.-The line of ap-
proach so boldly taken yesterday has been
nObly maintained, and tents have been
erected to shelter the amazonian warriors.
When your correspondent arrived on the
tented field early this morning, though the
snow was falling in heavy fakes, he found
that sharp assault on Mrs. Wards works
had already begun-bnt the Milesian de-
fender was not laggard in returning full
brOadsides Of Celtic brogue. The beSiegers
were receiving fresh relays of heated bricks
every few minutes, thus, in measure,
cheating winter Of its dreariness. Within
the besieged citadel there was a noise of
rejoicing. Definite intelligence had been
received that Father Marion, the Catholic
priest of Knoxville, was on the approaching
train, nastening to their succor. Blucher
was not looked for by Wellington
with more intensity of hope than
is Father Marion being expected
by the crusaders. All believe that
under his leadership the victory will be no
longer doubtful, but that he will no sooner
have trained his columbiad against Mrs.
Wards defences than there will be an earn
est Of the wars success. As | write there
are four inches of snow on the ground, and
the fakes are steadily falling. The pavil-
ions are also pitched in front of Gass &
Campbell's saloon, and cetail of the la
dies are still besieging that stronghold,
whose strength will become weakness the
moment Mrs. Wards citadel falls.

The passion which the colored peo-
pie have for getting into courts is
noticed by the Montgomery LAia-J State
Journal If one owes another q dollar
and doesn't pay it on demand, the
creditor forthwith brings suit; and the
costs amounts to greatly more than
the debt. So, too, If one calls another
a liar, there is a suit for defamation,
and one or the other has the costs to
pay. Law, 30 these simple people, is a
new laxury.
