ROaue County,

A correspondent from Kingston
writes:
The tidal wave Interested with the
foam of Civil Right swept over Roane
county, as in Knox and elsewhere,
and the local ring" though composed
of some of as good men as there are in
the county, were defeated badly. 1t is
" mighty warm" as Tom Lewis says,
and man must be like Caesars wife
on this question if he wants office in
this part of the moral vineyard, WHICH
is presided over, partially by Revs. G.
w. Coleman and James Schultz, late
of Knoxville. The former has journ-
alistic aspiration and has negotiated
for an interest in the Valley News,
which transaction was cOnsummated
this morning. Morality and sobriety
are popular here, and temperance will
be one of the featurers in the next
canvass.
Kingston is an old town and bears
the marks of age, but is said to be
picking up !" some, every house in
the village being occupied.

Every body is busy drying apples.
The apple crop is fair, though badly

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday

Sorgum will be abundant in this

The 10Th District Homicide.

Our informant who gave us the state
ment upon which was founded our
article upon the killing of Joe. Tod, by
Lewallyn in the 10th district of this
county, on Sunday, called on the llth
to correct some of the statements first
furnished. He says Tod was accused
of stealing clothes from colored wo-
man and that his wife having quarrel
with him came to Squire
Lewallyn for warrant.
This was issued and his son deputized
to serve it. He took five others with
him. They surrounded the house,
when Tod tried to escape. Squire
Lewallyn informs us that the evidence
at the inquest showed that while at.
tempting to escape Tod approached
one of theLewallyn's with an axe when
James Lewallyn, the deputized officer,
to save his brother from danger, shot
Tod through the head. The verdict OF
the jury at the inquest was, we are
told, that the killing was justitiable
and done in pursuance of duty. James
Lewallyn has not run away as report
ed, but is ready to answer for the shoot
ing.

DoUGHERTYvILLE, Aug. II, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: The election
of county officers in this county last
week passed Off quietly, resulting in
the retention in office of all the old
officers, with one or two exceptions,
Democrats and Republicans.
The farmers in this section are just
now threshing their wheat, and while
the yield is not as large as some ex-
l,ected, yet the quality is good.
The late rains have revived consid-
erably the growing corn crop, and the
prospects now for Il fair yield are more
flattering than some weeks ago. While
the Irish potato crop was failure, the
sweet promises to be a success, since
the late showers administered to their
wants.
The good people here are having a
large frame church erected, aud while
the principal donators and workers are
members of the NJ. T.. Church, South,
the church will be open to other pro-
testant denominations. Mr.. Ed.
Dougherty, of Philadelphia, who owns
and is working the great variegated
marble quarry at this place, proposes
donating the bell and other necessary
hardware to the church, which is GER
tainly very clever in him,
! A great many say they intend sub
scribing for the CHRONICLE as soon
as their subscriptions to other papers
run out.

Sentenced TO 81 Years In the Peniten-
ttary,

Clint Loudermilk, the notorious
desperate and horse thief, whose deeds
and capture furnishes wonderful
chapter in the history of crime, has
just been sent to the pententiary for
81 years by Roane county jury. He
was tried for stealing Welker's horses
in the great raid which resulted in his
capture, before Hon. T.. r. Hall and a
Jury. Not being able to employ nm at.
torney, Judge Samuel l.. Childress
was assigned by the Court
to conduct his defense. Hon. Geo.
Brown was suggested rs a suitable
person flor the defense inasmuch as
Loudermilk had tried to raise fee for
him, but the Judge declined in char
acteristic speech on the ground that
such work belonged to the " local bar"
During the trial Loudermilk main
tanned his bravado air and in open
Court threatened an Attorney assist
ing in the prosecution with violence
when his term should expire i'm the
penitent iarv. The jury evidently were
thinking of hanging him under the
late statute allowing that severe penal
ty for horse stealing, for they came into
court for instructions looking that
way. Judge Hall evidently did not
want the extreme penalty to be first
inflicted by his court, for we are told
he hedged against such a verdict.
Twenty one years will likely carry
Loudermilk about to the end of bis
life, for he must be well into the thirties

Notes From Coal Creek.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Business at
Coal Creek has been very dull for some
time, but has commenced to get better
within the last few days.
| see from the CHRONICLE that
Thornburgh and Houk will speek at
this place on the 9th of this month.
The people here are well pleased with
Col. Thornburgh's course in Congress
generally, and especially do they like
his course in regard to the Civil Rights
Bill. The Democracy will have no
chance to misrepresent his position on
that question.
Mr.. ]. c. Flanders, candidate for
Floater for Knox and Anderson cOun-
ties, will get the vote here as near solid
as it is possible for a man to get it.

Personal,

Rev. r. d. Black, A. NJ, passed
through our city on the 10th inst, en-
route for Indiana, in which State he
proposes to make his future home.
Rev. Mr.. Black has been faithful
pastor of the Greeneville M, E.
Church, where he leaves many warm
friends. He has been a warm friend
of the Temperate cause, and himself
and lady headed the crusade at Greene
Vile, which lasted for months and re-
suited in the closing of two of the four
saloons, and in receiving the sigma
lures of thousands of persons to the
temperance pledge. In fact Mr.. Black
has made many warm friends during
his connection with the Holston Con-
ference, and we feel sure he will soon
gain the affections and confidence of
the people among whom he proposes
to make his future home. Mrs Black
is a warm hearted Christian lady, and
as above stated, was an earnest worker
in the Temperance cause at Greene
vile. She also leaves many warm
friends in East Tennessee.

" SEWER" does injustice to the District
Conference of the M. e. Church,

merely an advisory body; and the
resolution, in reference to Union
Schools, was rather advisory, or sug-
gestive certainly not condemnatory.
Mr.. Long said in his remarks, that
he believed the time would come,
when it would be best" for the
Church South to have deuomiuational

not pretend TO say, that the time had
come yet He expressed himself high
