THE RORRlSTOWH GAZETTE,
NTGRTH YEAR.

The GAZETTE has been, for seven years, the
most regularly Issued county Newspaper published
in East Tennessee-having never missed regular
Issue since its northumberland its columns each
week, have contained LARGE AMOUNT of County,
State and General News of interest to every citizen
of Hamblen, Hawkins, Granger, Cooke and Jeffer-
son Counties, PARTICULARLY and now appeal
to them to come forward and give the GAZETTE a
more liberal support-give it a patronage common
surate with ITS MERITS. Aside from the value of
the paper az a NEWS DISSEMINATION its Iabors have
been devoted to the interest and advancement of
every enterprise that had for it's object the building
up of the material prosperity of this Immediate
ton. The Farmer and the Mechanic have ever
had, in the GAZETTE, fast friend and stanch
advocate. The Merchant and those engaged in
Commercial pursuits have not been neglected, and
their interests have been carefully watched and up
held in its columns.
Referring to it's the past as the best in
dex CT the spirit which will control its future
agement, the GAZETTE is encouraged to promise It's
readers marked advancement, in every particular
that constitutes live newspaper, for the year to
come. With such sigral evidences of vigor and en-
terprise may be found in the pages of its files,
perfect confidence is assured that energy will be
relaxed to add to the numerous features which
have already made it prominent among the country
papers of the State. As stated in his saiutatory
upon taking charge of the paper, the GAZETTE Will
be devoted to the interets of the people OF its
ton and in politics it viii be neutral, but at proper
times will discuss State and National affairs with
out prejudice, and with desire to tell the truth,
" the whole truth and noting but the TRUTH" The
paper, far ability and experience warrants
will be live newspaper and issnot for sale to any
" ring in Church or State, but will keep its
columns open to the people for the discussion Of
matters Of general interest provided the articles
sensibly written aud free from abuse"
We intend to improve the GAZETTE. We intend
to add to its attractions. No pains expense will
be spared to make it in every respect general
and local paper the best ekly publication III
the Country. The popular and iIniIuatabo letterr
of our Knoxville correspondents a u. b. Down
and g John J. viii be continued. More attention
win be paid to market reports, while every
week we will give yaiuabloreorrespondeucc from
the neighboriug towns and localities with whose
business relations readers most interested.
During the coming year intend to make the
GAZETTE stin more valuable to its patrons. We
iRtend to give to the people Of this section the

THE Jackson Herald says of
McCrary's bill. now pending in Con-
gyess, to regulate railroads by means
of commission:
sit is thought the Southern and
Eastern members will oppose it, be-
cause the effect in their estimation
will be to transfer the entire control
of railroads to Washington City.
They say the title of the bill shoukt
be a bill to give the railroads con-
troll of Congress- We expect that
would be about the way of it.

LOUISVILLE, March IA deficit
Of at least $4,000 has been found
in the accounts of Adolph Hammers,
late Tax Receiver OF this city, who
died very suddenly and under sus-
plcious circumstances on Monday
morning last. The Finance Com
mittee Of the City Council are still
engaged in an examination Of the
accounts, and other deficits may yet
be found. An inquest en- the body
has been postponed until the con-
tents Of tile stomach have been fully
examined and a report made. Ram
mers was possessed of considerable
property. besides an insurance of
$4,000 on his life, which will
probably be contested.

DcansEa of Hon. Charles suunnner.

WASHINGTON, March 1o.-Yester-
day. in tie Senate, Mr.. Sumner had
4 slight attack, affecting the nerves
of the heart, but when he returned
home was sufficiently well to enter
tain two friends at dinner. at the
close of which he made allusion to
the condition Of his heart, and be-
tween Q and 10 o'clock he was ia
ken so sick as to require the atten-
dance Of physician, and an hour or
more thereafter lie had a second at
tlct of his old disease. At 2 IA
Sumner was fast failing.
Senator Schurz, in leaving Sum-
ner's room, at half past twelve, took
Sumner by the hand and asked :
do you know me" Sumner re-
piled '' Yes, but 1 cannot see you"
At once Senator Sumner fell into an
easy slumber, which encouraged
some of his friends to believe he was
somewhat better. but consultation
Ofphysicians held about that time did
not establish any reason for such
Impressions. a
AT z, Senator Sumner was still
sleeping, though at intervals he
would awaken, at which time he was
in great pain. He was perfectly
conscious when awake, and knew all
his friends, occasionally rallying to
the effort of saying few words.
Senator Sumner died at quarter
to three. He passed away calmly,
without a struggle. During the last
two hours his intellect seemed TO be
much clearer, and he was perfectly
conscious to the last. This 'condi-
tion was doubtless the result of his
recovery from the effects Of the NOR
phine which had been freely admin
istered to him this morning. His
sufferings towards the last seemed
to be intense, and he several times |
81 want quiet; / am tir-
ed" He recognized friends who |
came into the room. Ex-Attorney-
general Hoar was the last he spoke |
to. to whom he said, take care of |
my civil rights bill" About quar-
ter before o'clock, he was attack
by a slight spasm, ia which he died. |
Fhe only relative that Senator Sum
ner has, a sister, the wife of physi- /
clan in San Francisco. and to her |
the sad news was telegraphed i'm
after his death.

Iowa has All army of wome1fgrang

thousand women in the eighteen hun
bred and eighteen Oranges Of that
State, each woman having q vote
equal to q man in the managerial

TIE Indianapolis Journal, the Re.
publican organ at the capital of In
diana, warns the members of Con
gress from that State to take care
how they vote in the proposed CEN
tennjal appropriation, and adds
There is a storm brewing in that
quarter, and if Congress appropri-
ates any such sum as is asked for,
or any sum whatever, it will see
something that will remind it of the
salary-grab hurricane" If the storm
that is brewing should be Of q char
acter similar to the ''salary-grab hur-
Ticane," it will mot scare worth

gress believe that 1.-The people will
not tolerate such reckless eXtrava-
gance and downright tom-foolery."

DEATH OF DIR. SUMNER.

While the telegraphic wires were
busy in announcing the action of
senates and legislatures, taken in
honor of Mr.. Fillmore, the country
was startled by the tidings that
another great name had been strick-
en- from the roll of American states
men. Charles Sumner, of Massa-
chusetts, died in Washington city
on Wednesday last, at 11.45, a. m,
after q very brief illness. This an
nouncement will cause profound
regret in all English-speaking lands,
Cor Mr.. Summers reputation was
even more than national.

EAST TENNESSEE MARBLE.

The Lynch5urg 6dp"blican, Of the
Srd inst, says: The marble Of East
Tennessee seems to be attaining
wide spread popularity. Immense
blocks of it are frequently seen on
the freight trains passing through
this city, destined for New York
Boston and other Eastern cities,
where it is worked up into beautiful
mantels, etc. The superintendent
OF construction of the Lindell House,
st. Louis, expresses a preference
for the marble, and CHEF Architect
MulIett declares that Tennessee
marble is unsurpassed for durability"

~ Simultaneous with the an
nouncement of the death of Charles
Sumner, appeared paragraph stat
inc that Mrs. Alice NJ Sumner, from
whom her then husband, Senator
Sumner, obtained a divorce for de-
sertion in 1873. had petitioned to the
Supreme Judicial Court Of Massa-
chusetts for leave to marry again.
His timely death will probably save
her much newspaper notOriety.

THE death of Senator Sumner,
says the Nashville Banner. compii-
Gates the political situation in Mas
sachusetts. and brings the TaIley-
rand of the hour, Butler. to the front
as candidate to fill the unexpired
term of the dead Senator. The
Massachusetts Legislature is now in
session, and, we suppose, will elect
Summers successor. There will be
no lack Of candidates, but It is quite
probable that either Dawes or Butler
will succeed to the vacant place.
