THE E2LlCTEONEEIlENE
,IETE1EEE.

In his speech last week at
Blountville, the Reverend Judge
Gillenwaters alluded to his Con-
gressional competitors, Mcclellan
and Butler, in a rather revolving
and shameless manner, by telling
an anecdote of a certain man who
during family worship prayed so
long that his wife told him he had
better stop, as he had gotten Lis
prayer in "such a devil Of a fix
that he had better quit. So he
said Mcclellan and Butler had
gotten their speeches in such a
devil of a fix they had better stop.
Now if his candidacy for Office,
while he is Judge OF his Circuit,
causes him to forget his char
acter rs minister of God,
so far as he evidently did in telling
this anecdate, how is it likely that
he will not likewise forget the pro
prieties and decencies Of the judge
ship in his greed for office.
For ways that are dark and for
tricks that are vain, the political
preacher is peculiar.

As there are seceateen Conserva-
tive candidates for Trustee Of Sulli-
van County. and only taCo Republi-
can candidates, the election of a Re-
publican is certain, unless the. Com
Seryatiye voters take the matter in
their own hands and concentrate on
the most available Of the Conser7a-
tive nd'dates This the people
ought to do. It would be a listing
disgrace to the Conservatives of the
County, were they to allow parcel
Of bead-strong aspirants for Office to
bring defeat on the party. If the
throng of candidates for Trustee,
hav'nt patriotism and love of party,
sufficient to cause them to settle the
matter among themselves, the people
should take them in hand, concen~
tTatc their votes on one candidate,
and thus teach this army of candi-
dates, ard future aspirants for Office,
that they cannot destroy the party.
1t is not too late to elect a Jonser-
vative, if the people at the several
precincts viii be active and unite
their votes.

GONE AGAIN.

Judge Gillenwaters could not be
held longer than two business days at
Blountville. On Monday he charged
the Grand July and adjourned for din
ner, after which the remainder of the
day was devoted to campaign
speeches. GilleEwaters himself taking
part. Tuesday and Wednesday he
sat on the bench and during the re-
mainder of the week Mr.. G. J. St.
John was, by his feilow-memb ers of
the bar, put on the bench as n substi-
tute, and then The business went along
XpedItiously and well. AS for Judge
G!llvnwaters he said he had very ur-
gent, private business of a public ma
ture," and he straddled his horse and
left. In one sense il would be pub
lie blessing to get such man perma-
nently oil the bench, by sending him
to Congress, but the people are deter
mined to make an example of so faith
less a steward, and they will decline
10 add to his honors.

was out few minutes until the next
street in many places were impassa-
bic; water swept down the cutters
like roaring torrents; the broadest
avenues were solid sheets of water
while from the hilIsides poured a
delnge which tore rocks of tons
weight from their foundations and
gqshed and scanned the earth as il
it had been Iiven by an earthquake.
Nothing could resist the awful vol-
ume OF rushing, seething water
Substantial brick houses crumbled
when it struck them as if they had
been made of sand, frame buildings
were lifted from their foundations,
borne along on the angry current,
and dashed to pieces against other
buildings which vainly obstructed their
course. In some instances fjunda-
tons were undermined and buildings
sunk down 10 sand and debris to tie
second story, So restless was the
torrent that nothing in its path es-
capped observation-disclosures, fences,
bridges, trees, all going down befoIe
it, and combining to constitute q
scene of ruin such as none had never
witnessed before, and such as we
hope we may never look upon again.
But great as was the destruction OF
property, it is nothing in view of the
loss of human life. OF those who
retired to rest OH Sunday evening in
the stricken districts more than two
hundred were Pailid corpses when
the morning light broke upon the
dreadful scene More than a score OF
little children, who on Sunday night
kneeling at their mothers kuee,
lisped Now I lay me down to slaep,"
realized the full significance OF the
petition ere morning broke, their
bodies when foAnd being in many
instances drcadfuily dl5Ggured, their
delicate limbs gashed and broken,
their beautiful trcsses dislereled and
intermixed with loathsome accre
tons, Oh! it was aspectacle to make
strong men weep and sympathetic
women tremble and turn, lainting
away. In some cases entire families
were swept from their beds, their
houses falling in ruins upon them,
and all lost together,
The scene early Monday morning
surpasses the power of language to
adequately describe. Thousands Of
people, many of whom bad been be-
resved during the night, .iiocked to the
scene OF disaster to survey the ruin,
and if possible to recover the bodies
their wives. husbands. children. or
friends. Hundreds of willing hands
were soon at work removing the
debris, while hundreds of others,
with bated breath, hoping against
hope that Their missing ones had es>
capped, awaited the issue. As body
after body was taken from the ruins
and VAS recognized. men sobbed and
women walled, while the spectators
stood with uncovered heads as it was
borne away.
