SEvIERyILLE, TENN, Feb. 18th, 1874.
EDITORS CHRONICLE: At the last term
ofthe county county ,Mr.M III. = Thomas was
appointed administrator to wind up the es-
tate of s. Felker.
The Rev. J. i. Seaton has recently
closed a protracted meeting at Pigeon
Forge. Quite an interest was manifested
in the meeting. There has been about
twenty conversions, and the older MEM
bers have been wonderfully revived. He
was assisted by the Rev. Mr.. Trerenie and
Rev. G. w. Cation.
We hear of quite % number of arrests be-
ing made in different localities for Jacob
Cummings, but none seems to prove gen
uiDe. We are of the opinion that if he
could have the least hope of escaping the
gallows that ho would surrender himself
TO the Sheriff forthwith. He doubtless is
a very unhappy man.
The Murphys and Catletts have lust re-
turned from the South, where theV drove
fifty mules of their own raising, They re-
port times hard out there, though they
sold out in due time. They know the lick
it is done by. Mr., Jas. J.. Catlett has
driven ffty-twO mules to the same market
this season and Gass d Company have
taken the same amount-all TO Anderson,
South Carolina.
Mr.. c. w. Charlton was up and made a
speech in SeviervillC to a large crowd of
people upon the subject of organizing
oranges. After his address he called upon
the original petitioners to meet him in a
private room in the store of l.. y. y. En-
ert, where he organized one. All seemed
to be well pleased with the organization.

ton at the State capitol will fall, on the
peoples ears like the dread fire alarm in
the night. There is singular obtuscness
of the people to such charges they ought
to be aroused, and Mr.. Etheridge is the
very man to do it. For ourselves, We dis
like corruption in the abstract, but still
more so in the concrete. We might pass
a polecat uunoticed at distance, but we
rebel against having it poked under our
nose. Therefore we can tolerate Corrup-
ton in our own party less than in the Rad
ical party. Mr.. Etheridge's charges are
sweeping, but he is surely good enough a
lawyer to know that lie must make speci-
hcations before he can get hearing or
hope to plead his case. Until he does this,
his incohereut "insinuCndoes, as one of
South Cardinals dusky legislators puts it,
deserve only contempt. If he knows any
thing why does he not stand up like man
and tell it in a straightforward way"
The Banner evidently regards Etheridge
an important element in the movement
referred to. The Union and american
feels sore over his illusions to corruption
at the State capital. With this slight diff
ference, they agree. Can not this be re-
conCiled" Let the Bdnncr explain wheth-
or in endorsing Mr.. Etheridge it endorses
what he said in his recent speech about
corruption ct the State capital. fit does
not. there is still chance for it to agree
with its city cotemporary.

WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA ROAD

The Legislature of North Carolina is en-
gagged in vindictive and proscriptiye leeis-
latiOn which is likely to interfere with the
progress of the Paint Rock Railroad. As
near as we can make out, the principal aim
Of the Legislature is to drive out Of the
ROAD its President, Hon. w. 4. Smith, so
that Republican shall not have the credit
for building it. The Rcstlru Erpooitoy
on this subject says:
We entertain a hope that Col. Smith and
Gov. Caldwell will yet come TO the reseue
OF poor, suffering Western North Carolina.

On Saturday night, about II or 70 O'Clock,
the citizens of Careyvillc were aroused by
the alarm of fire, and it was discovered
that the large stable Of Orion & Co,
Charles Seymour, agent, was being rap
idly consumed 10y the flames. The male
portion of the inhabitants at once rushed
to the scene, and two of the mules and the
oxen were brought out of the burning
building, and it was then discovered that
two of the finest mules the Company own
ed were missing. 1t was evident that they
had been stolen, and that the thieves at
tempted to cover their tracks by burning
up the stable and the remaining stock

worth of feed, and all the gearing were
consumed by the fire.
After the fire excitement vas over, search
was instituted for mule tracks. which were
readily found, and the trail kept up as far
as the Buckeye tavern, some seven miles
from Careyville, in kentucky. When our

hoped that the rogues will be overtaken.

THE PERILs OF EDITORIAL LIFE.

neighboring little city, blessed with two
enterprising newspapers, has lately been
the scene of mental anguish of the most
eNcruciating kind. When an editors soul
is narrowed up the neighborhood general
~ hears of it.. His paper tells it either in a
personal explanation or in the dyspeptic
tone of its columns. Not long ago one of
hejournals referred to, being short Of mat
ter for its current Issue, went to
Il religious neighbor paper to borrow
some articles in type to fill out the vacant
columns Of his forms. The religious edi-
toy, being a man of kind heart, gave his
consent TO the use Of the dead matter, and
or political editor went back with his
arms full and his heart light. His paper
went to press and was distributed through
the mails to his eXpectaut subscribers. Now
it happened that the religious journal from
which the matter was borrowed, so far as
its political synpathies are given express
sion, is opposed radically to the political
journal referred to. And it further hap
pened that the particular articles borrow
ed bristled with sentiments very obiec-
tiOnabIe TO the readers OF the paper borrow
ing them. 1t was not long therefore aE-
ter the readers aforesaid perused their pa
pers before the mails carried back to the
editor indignant protests against spread
ing such sentiments broadcast over the
land. The editor examined his paper and
for this first time discovered his fearful
blunder. He will borrow no more matter
from that religious paper.
But this editors misfortune has been
duplicated. Another editor Of the same
young city left his office to min
Gle for a few days in the eXCitemcnts
of metropolitan life. to gathernew strength
for his labors. He left copy enough as he
thought, for the first side of his paper, but
gave authority to his assistant 10 clip news
items enough to make up the deficiency.
There was, OF course, u deficiency. There
alway, Is under such circumstances. The
assistant used the scissors with the usual
Judgment customary when the editor is
away. He scisgored an article headed " 4
Eulogv on General Lee That, he was
sure, would please the absent editor and
his readers. 1t was set up worked of and
sent out to subscribers, who are always
eager for their paper. Bat the eulogy
didn't SUIT, III fact, it turned outnOt to be
a eu!Ogy. 1t proved, in the explanation Of
the editor, TO be not an 'euIogy' 1t all,
but a criticism by some Radical writer on

The New York Pos, of the 22d says the
first celebration of Washington's birthday
took place in 1893, when many of the
members Of Congress desired to call upon
him and express their respect, and a mo-
ton was made to adjourn half hour for
this purpose. Itmet with serious opposi-
ton, however, and was denounced as an
act Of homage which had a tendency to
ward monarchy. Immediately, however,
on Washington's death the day acquired
an importance which it is to be hoped it
viii never lose.

The LIQUOR QUESTION

The discussion of the temperance qucs-
ton seems just now to lie q leading topic
in the newspapers. A correspondent of
the New York EyC,ing Post has been
gathering statistics, from which we make
a brief compilation, According to his fig
ures. which he says were taken from off,
cial records, the amount of money spent
in the United States for intoS icating Ii
quors, during the year 1870, was 81 ,4S7-
100000. Add to this 100000, 900, the cost
of litigation, crimes, prisons, &c, caused
in part by intemperance, and it makes the
enormous sum of 81 ,577, 100000. Compar-
ing this with the cost of living, the cor
respondent alluded to gives the following

Ne gave in former issue OF the CHRoN-

Nardi Gras celebration in Memphis. \
few days ago We gave an account of the
terrible filthy condition Of the streets and
alleys Of that city. 1t occurs to Us, in
view Of the fearful seourge of yellow fever
and cholera that desolated that city last
summer, that the city would better save
the money wasted in such foolish demon
STATIONS by relieving the poor orphans
and in cleaning up their filthy streets.
We imagine that next summer its citizens
would feel that money spent in guarding
against cpidenlics would be spent more iu-
dicioa-y than in Mardi Gras sprees.
