Knoxville and MOrristOWn Cir
cults.

The annual session of the Holston Con-
ference of the 81. E Church South, con
vened at Asheville on the 18th and adj
journed on the 21st October. The at
tendance was very large, and the usual
business brought before the body was
dispatched promptly and in the most har-
monious spirit. The next session of the
Conference is to be held at Knoxville,
We copy the appointments for the Knox
vile and Morristown Circuits 1t will
be seen that Rev. J. L. N. French, who
so acceptably and faithfully labored with
his people here during the last year, goes
to the Broad street Church in Knoxville
We congratulate the congregation of that
Church in getting the pastor they do, and
we congratulate Rev. Mr.. French that he
is thrown with so hospitable, generous
and warm hearted Christians as he will
find his new congregation to be. Rev
@. ID. French, who takes charge Of this
station for the ensuing year, had the
Broad street Church last year, and that
Church is largely indebted to his zeal
and Christian labor for the prosperity it
now enjoys He is one of the mostprom-
ising young ministers Of the Conference,
and ranks among the best pulpit speakers
of the body. That he will faithfully dis
charge his obligations to the Church
here we have not doubt, May his con-
gregation be as prompt in discharging
theirs to him The following are the
allotments to the Knoxville and Morris.

Murder and Homicide.

The Cleveland Herald heads the fol-
lowing Murder and Homicide:"
The particulars Of a horrible crime
and swift retribution which occurred on
Tuesday, the eth inst, are as follows:
An old man from some of the Cumber-
land Mountain districts had started to
this part of the country with two wagons
loaded with saddles for sale and hired
two fellows to assist him. After they
had crossed the mountain, coming this
way, boy was out hunting near the
top Of the mountain and found the old
mans body. some two hundred yards
from the road, bearing unmistakable
marks Of violence. The remaining par
ties were pursued and overtaken by an
officer and posse, about two miles from
this place, on the Georgetown road.
One surrendered and the other resisted,
when one of the officers posse shot him
through the stomach, infiicting a mortal
wound. The criminals confessed the
deed and the party started back to the
place where il was committed We
could not learn the names of any of the
parties"

Is Wealth a Qualification ?

am an old line Wing, and my feel
ings are naturally in favor of Boteler
for Congress. 1t was not my intention
to have taken any active part in the
campaign, aud had simply intended to
cast my vote, but the ungenerous and
disreputable course of electioneering
adopted by some Of Mr.. Fanlkners
friends compels me to speak. They
have even gone so far as to electioneer
against Mr.. Boteler on account of his
poverty. Could political degradation
descend lower? They assert that Mr..
Boteler is poor man-too poor to go
to Congress. Now | admit that Mr..
Boteler is poor man, but dare any
man assert that he ever, poor though he
be, abused public trust or broke faith
with his people? That man does not
live who can make and substantiate such
a charge. 1t is not disgrace or dis
qualification for office in this country
to be poor, and every mechanic and
laboring man in the land should raise
his voice and cast his vote in condemna-
ton ofthose who attempt to set up such
a standard. True, Mr.. Boteler has no
money with which to buy votes or in
fluence, if he were disposed to so use it,
but he has brains. In this particular,
at least. he is the peer of his competi
tor. And he has an honest, straight
forward record. If the friends of Mr..
Faulkner were TO confne themselves to
the discussion of Mr.. Boteler's political
record, no one could object, but when
they seek to makeqlis misfortunes and
his poverty an objection to his election,
it is enough to arouse the honest indig-
nation of every right-thinking man in
the District. VIII the hardy sons Of
toll, the hard-fsted yeomanry, the
GREASY mechanic" and the honest la
boring man not resent with vote and
voice the imputation thus sought to be
cast upon a man who happens not to
have land and money and stocks. 1t
is to he hoped that Mr.. Faulkner does
not sustain this pot-house style OF cleo
tioneeriug on the part Of his friends.

HON. c. j. FAULKNER,

Mr.. Editor-As a subscriber, | write
on the subject of the approaching cleo
ton. want to know why Democrats
should feel bound TO support the present
nominee tor Congress | am perfectly
willing to admit that had Mr.. Martin
been nominated by the Convention,
Democrats would have been bound to
support him. But Mr.. Martin to whom
the party was morally bound, was not
even brought prominently forward,
while Jacob stole his birlh-light. Mr..
Faulkner is certainly not the nominee
Of the Democratic party, though no one
else stood any chance in the Conven-
ton. Mr.. Martin wisely does not cry
over split milk, but this does not make
Mr.. Faulkner's position an honest aud
true one. In the first place, is he a
Democrat Did lie not come home
from the very short service he rendered
in the war, and when accosted as "Col.
raise his hands in holy horror and beg
ced that the title be dropped? And
why There were visions Of a promi-
nent place in the Radical party looming
before his eyes, and remembrance OF
such services did not agree with those
aspirations. Again explain if you please
the fact, that, while nearly every lawyer
of West Virginia was debarred from
practice of his profession, at the close
Of the war, Mr. Faulkner was allowed
practice, after swallowing such an oath
as would have caused any other than he
to have shared the doom OF Ananias
Tell your subscribers what party may
really claim this Proteus, for though he
claims to be one of the fold, Grievous is
the wrong he does to Others Of the
flock. Are all the rights of the party,
he at any time proclaims himself a
member OF, to be yielded calmly and
without protest, as though he were re
allv a wolf in Sleeps clothing. The al
leeiance Of the Democratic party to Mr.
Faulkner is that OF the lamb to the wolf,
or the sparrow to the hawk. Lastly,
Mr.. Editor, how can any man who hon
estly fought for what he conceived just
rights in the army, and who came home
at the close of the war determined to
accept the result, vote for this man,
who joins a party only to desert it, and
pirds on the sword and then-thlnks
better of it, and lastly has made himself
n laughing stock in q recent speech, by
saving that had he remained in the army
jackson would not have been killed.

true that the honest poor man shouid
be upheld, and be assigned to offices OF

SCANDALOUS.

Some of the few Faulknerites, (about
a corporals guard,) who are yet to be
found in this vicinity, are becoming
desperate; and as hast attempt to sus-
tain the sinking cause Of their candi-
date, they have, tor some days past,
been busy in secretly circulating all
sorts of lies against Mr.. Boteler, in the
vain hope that some of the voters will
be fools enough to believe them. But
these mendaeious attacks so far from
hurting Mr.. Boteler, will only recoil on
the heads Of his slanderers; for onr PEG
pie, amongst whom he has lived all his
life, are too well acquainted with his
