Over six hundred arrived after market
asst week and went East without being
offered. Such as remain over unsold go
East at owners risk.
The receipts as will be seen above, are
largely in excess of the unprecedented
number of last week, and consist
more largely of the middle grades than
last week, while the tops and those of a
common order are less numerous in pro-
portion than they were then. The de-
mand for them has been very slow all
through, the market continuing later than
it has for long time. Prices arc lower,
and it is likely many will be left over I'M

REMARKS.
Notwithstanding the lighter run this
week prices have been barely sustained.
At our highest figures few sales have been
made, though there have been some Sc
lections made for Philadelphia, which
have even brought shade higher price
than what we quote. Prices towards the
close seemed to be tending downward,
and it is quite as likely that lower figures
will be reached before they go higher.

REMARKS.
The market has been very slow this
week, and while the quality has been
quite as good as it was last week, prices
have been barely sustained, sales being
made at last weeks quotations with great
difficulty. Good stock ewes have been in

Distressing Accident.

Young Moore, son of Henderson
Moore, living in the Sd civil district of
this county, lost his life under the fol-
lowing circumstances
Together with one or two other lads,
young Moore was engaged in cutting
timber in the woods. In telling large
tree one of its branches caught in an
adjoining tree, and thus suspended the
trunk short distance from the earth.
At the same time number of flying
squirrels made their appearance on
the tree, which he was endeavoring to
kill or capture, when the confined
limb suddenly became detached, which
the unfortunate youth, in his eager
ness to secure the squirrels, failed to
observe, and was thus caught under
the huge trunk and literally crushed
to death. The tree fell across his back
and pinioned him to the earth, where
he lay until sufficient force could be
obtained to remove the ponderous
weight from him, But 1t was too late.
The poor fellows bones were crushed
and his body so mangled, that he new
er more spoke, and lived but two OF
three hours afterwards.-EdSt Tennes-

Raid Bank Robbery.

We have jast received the following from
Corinth, Mississippi:
A bold and daring robbery was commit
ted here at 1880 p. NJ. yesterday. Four
well-mounted men rode up to the Tshomingo
Savings Bank. Two entered and locked
the door and two remained outside, They
demanded the safe keys, which President
Taylor refused They then made an attack
upon him with knives, and compelled him to
submit. They took over five thousand dol.
lars in currency, and as much more in
watches and diamonds. Mr.. Taylor was
not badly hurt. A negro man was in the
bank making a deposit at the time, and was
not permitted toyeave until the robbers re-
tired. They were in the bank fifteen min
u,es. People who observed the bank clos
ed, supposed Taylor had gone to dinner.
The bank is an out-of.the,wGy place, and
not much noticed by the public The men
had been lurking about the town and coun-
try for two weeks. The robbers fired sever
Il shots as they departed, and rode at full
speed in the direction of the Tennessee riv-
or. The sheriff with large posse has gone
IN pursuit.-FT.

Col. Jno. II. Savage arrived yester.

is over. 1t can not be doubted that the
Colonel intends to make things lively.
- Union and american.
One of the members elect TO the
Legislature from Madison county, re
ceived the following letter last week
Dear Sir: How are you on the
Senatorial question?
Yours as ever
The same letter was returned by the
gentleman from Madison, endorsed a.
follows:
"Tolerably well, 1 thank you-How
do you do YOURSELF"
satisfactory, that.-IrOy NewS.
In view of the animus of the Sena-
torial canvass thus far, and the devel-
opments daily coming to the surface,
we find no cause, either as a mere
newspaper or as DESTROYS for the selec-
ton of good Democratic Senator, to
regret the policy we have pursued.
We have simply taken the side of the
people, treating all the candidates
dlIht, Dul dAl
so far as it came to our knowledge.
Highly as we appreciate the liabilities
and capacity of several among the
rivals for the position, we can not, In
conscience, throw tire-brand into the
camp by expressing any preference or
antipathy, however strong or slight.
Let each stand on his own merits, and
let the question be decided by the Leg
lslature, with whom the law and the
people leave it, Union and american.
In the State Convention which nom
mated Judge Porter for Governor a
resolution, mplimentary to Cover
nor Brown for his faithful execution
of the laws, was presented. 1t was not
a portion of the platform, but sprung
upon the Convention at a late hour
and, to borrow the Jackson Courier
Herald's language, 1.-The chairmau
declared ii carried. e But we
will say that the Committee on Plat
form and a majority of the Convention
utterly ignored the idea that the Con-
vention endorsed the last administra-
ton of Governor Brown
IT is well known that the only two.
prominent features of Governor
Browns second administration were
the Funding aud Assessment bills.
Neither was endorsed by the State
! Convention. On the contrary, the
low tax " resolution was virtual
condemnation of the funding policy,
in that it opposed the increase in the
taxation rate necessary to enforce the
provisions of the law. Few are so stu
pid as not to understand the meaning
of the resolution,
What was done with the Funding
and Assessment laws during Ithe can
vass that ended on the 9Th of Novem-
Der? These twin measures were kick
ed and cuffed by the candidates OF
both parties from the Virginia line to
the Mississippi river. Judge Porter
repudated them. Nearly all the Con-
sentative candidates for the Legislature
repudiated them. The only funder
reelected was Marshall county man,
whose constituents were not permitted
to hear of the measures.
Yet in the face of all this, we are told
that Governor Browns administra-
ton has been Endorsed by the people
and party This is slightly cool, and
very refreshing.-AUdLanche.

PROSPECTUS FOR 1875
Daily and Weekly
Chronicle.

t is the determination of the Pub
ishers of the CHRONICLE to make it
during the year 1875. one of the very
best,newspapers in the South. They
will spare neither labor nor means to
make it first class journal, worthy of
the highest esteem of its patrons. 1t
viii be an Off Year" in politics, and
not being engaged in an active politi-
cal campaign, we will have more time
and space to devote to matters of sub
stantial interest.
AS in the past, We will make it a
point to assist, with all our power, in
the development of the material resour-
ces of our State. If emigrants seeking
homes in the Sunny South, or capital.
sts in search of profitable fields Of
Investment remain ignorant of our
delightful climate and rich deposits of
coal iron, marble, &C., or our produce
tive soil, it shall be no fault of ours.
The State Legislature meets in jan
U&ry, and it is our purpose To Keep
the readers of the CHRONICLE fully
informed of everything pertaining to
the session that is II matter Of public
interest. A United States Senator
will be chosen, and the contest bids
fair to prove an unusually interesting
one. We will keep our readers thor
oIghly posted as to its progress.
The CHRONICLE will contain a SYM
opsis of the proceedings of Congress
Daring the winter.
n short, we propose to give our
readers the earliest and most 'npor-
tant news from all parts OF the world,
oar aim being to make the CHoNICLE
e-mphatically a NEWSPAPER.
POSTAGE.
IN and after January LIST, the post
aye on both editions of the CHRoNI-
Gle will be prepaid at Knoxville.
Although this will entail considers
ole item of expense upon us, we have
determined to make no addition to
our subscription price. This amounts
really to a reduction to each subscri-
be- over the prices they have been
paying US, of sixty cents year on the
daily and twenty cents a year on the
week size.

The Reaction In Massachusetts.

The result of the city election, Tuesday,
shows both the weakness Of the Democrat
ic and the strength of the Republican par
ty As usual, after short enjoyment OF
power, the Democrats quarreled over d.
vision Of the spoils, and broke to pieces.
The Republicans, warned by recent de-
feats, put forward some of their best men
for office, men worth the support of all
good citizens, and they put forth the nee
essary effort to elect them. The revolution
was effected very quietly and quickly, but
none the less efiectually, and the next city
government will be the strongest and ablest

TELEGRAMS TO THE STAR.
The situation I'm Alabama.

ROSE COLOR VIEW BY A CORRESPONDENT WHO
WRITES FROM HEARsAY.
NBw YORK, October S.-The Tribune has sent
a correspondent to Alabama 20 Investigate the
reports of outrsges on republicans in that state.
His first letter, dated Montgomery, October 4, ,
is published this morning, and contains the fol-
lowing: "I know nothing, personally, of the
condition of the disturbed counties; 1 shall 90
to them in day or two; but as far as have
been able TO investigate l have found that the
administration Journals and administration
politicians have grossly slandered the people of
this state. The party press on both sides Is very
bitter in the controversy, but the republican pa
pers are just as denuncistory of their opponents
as those published in the interest of the demo-
cratic party, and il is not true that the latter
have advised or do now advise their friends to
resort TO intimidation or violence. The authors
OF some of these slanders that are destroying
the credit of the state and driving away emit
grants, live in this city, and don't wonder they
are treated with contempt. They say they are
oStracised, but they pass through the streets
without molestatior or insult, and l have the
word Of high republican officers here that So
clety and in business relations honorable men,
no matter what their politics, are treated alike
except by few worthless fellows, whose society
nobody desires.

NEW YORK DRY GooDs MARKKT.-The mar
ket tor cotton goods continued quiet the past
week, despite a slight improvement, but the
DOWNWARD tendency of prices has been arrested.
The most noticeable feature of the week was
the closing out by the agents OF some surplus
accumulattons OF light brown cOttons at prices
which facilitated their distribution, after which
the goods in question were restored 20 former
figures. WoOlen goods were emphaticslly quiet
with manufacturers agents during the week,
but an Increased distribution of nearly all fab
ries was effected by the cloth and dry goods
lobbeTs. Fancy cassimeres we're IN irregular
demand, and many styles were weeded out By
the agents and offered at a material concession
frem former asking rates. The supply OF wool
en- goods on the market is still large, but as the
production has been curtailed by the stOppage
OF many sets OF machinery, il is hoped that be-
fore the close OF the season stocks viii assume a
manageable shape, although this can hardly be
accomplished unless further price revislOns are
made. The volume Of business transacted by
the importers during the week was only mOder-
ate, but the jobbiDg trade in some departments
was fairly satisfactory, and a large amount Of
goods was distributed through the auction rooms
at prices closely approximsting 10 their current
market value. There was no material shrink
age in values, and goods presenting desirability
Of texture, style and coloring were disposed OF
both privately and in the auctions rooms for
their full value.-N Y. Bulletin, IA.
