About the Decoration Day Exercises

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Great crises in HUI
man affairs arrive often in rapid succession.
In this year of Grace 1874 we have had the
Mississippi floods and the Massachusetts,
flood, and the sham volcano on Bald Noun
tain, the Civil Rights Bill and now, is if
that were not enough TO distract the souls
of this generation, few little girls just out
of babyhood must needs ride through the
streets of Knoxville singing an old Union
army song on Decoration Day One would
have thought that the stones would have
cried out and the sun have turned pale at
the horrible deed
Seriously, Messrs. Editors, | heard that
music of childish voices, and regretted that
they had fallen upon that particular song
| expected that some Northern sneak who
had to bark for his bone, would have his
yelp about it, but did not expect that any
"eX-reb." would be mean enough to do it.
EX-reb" is probably "Teb " without
the lex" but we are safe in assuming that
he was not in the rebel army. He was
probably one of those charming darlings
who parted his hair in the middle and
danced while othersfought. Brave men who
fought as the magnificent soldiers of the
Confederate army fought, do not go about
our streets to-day whining and sobbiDg at
the freaks of little girl babies. Small ami
mails and small men are much more easily
insulted than large ones.
At the decoration services of our Confed-
crate friends rebel airs are played, and the
"lost cause" glorifed in speeches, but l
am glad that no Union man-much less
any Union soldier, was ever mean enough
to take offense and rush into print about It.
have nothing to say as to the good taste
of singing music Of the kind spoken Of on
such occasions. But if it be demanded as
right that the music TO which our dead
soldiers marched be not heard on DeCOrA-
ton Day, passibly the Union men of East
Tennessee may think it would be better
not to accede to the modest demand of
"Ex,rebn that the brave men who died
for the "lost cause be buried inthe,Nation-
tional Cemetery, till rebel music and rebel
oratory be suppressed also.
To the mean suggestion of "Ex-reb ~
against the gentlemen and ladies who made
the preparations for this celebration, that
the singing was part Of the programme, ii
Wilt my opinion, be time enough TO reply
when some respectable person is found with
courage enough TO make the charge over
| his own name. UEIoS.

Food and Digestion.

In dyspepsia the gastric juice which should

IN THE I7rH DISTRICT.
Remarkable Achievements of Two
Brilliant Young Men

We learn that the Democratic candi'
date for Sheriff in this county distin-
guished himself Saturday by deliver
ing an eloquent disquisition on
constitutional law in the 18th civil
district, and closed with an earnest
appeal to the voters to elect him Sheriff
and save the county from eternal
destruction, world without end. The
speaker was much affected at his own
remarks, and tears rolled down his
cheek as large as chestnuts. He took
out his big red baudana, and unfurling
it AS token of his plel ian extraction,
wiped his forehead and took his
seat, groaning audibly.
When he had concluded, Tommy
Williams, Clerk of the District Court
of the United States, aud a brother of
Jimmy, the same, who is Attor-
ney General, and candidate
for reelection, got up and stated
in an impressive manner that the au-
dience would hardly expect that one
of his age could make so fine a speech,
| but he would show them better. He
then read from Blackstone on carpet
baggers, and made the point very clear
| ly that no man ought to hold Office
who had no more control of his own
destiny than to have been born north
of the Ohio river. This important
| question fully discussed, he turned his
attention to Sheriff Gossett, and show
ed that his reelection would be pub
lie calamity, much more to be dreaded
than the eruption of Bald Mountain
or the unfolding of the Hobbs mystery
He smilingly took his seat, satisfaction
and perfect delight beaming from his
eyes and oozing through every pore o.
| his skin.
Tom. Nelson happened to be present
and had the temerity to insinuatt
that the county would be safe even i
Gossett, McGuffey and other Republi
cans were elected. A large proportion
of those present seemed to think sc
too, whereupon the first two speakers
looked severe, and left for the city
Arriving in Knoxville, they were
received with great enthusiasm at the
recherche establishment of Mai. VIM
Beard, on the northeast corner o.
Cumberland and State streets, where
in the presence of an admiring audi
ence the achievements of the day were
related with irresistible gusto.

THE CHRONICLE ENIARGED.

The proprietors of the Knoxville
Chronicle have enlarged the daily to
even columns, and also propose TO
enlarge their weekly. To do this, they
awe procured new ana larger press,
and made other additions to their office.

prosperity, and coming, as it does, in

When we received the Knoxville pa
uers "Wednesday morning, we thought
AZ first sight that something had

a closer inspection discovered to us that
We were not mistaken. We found
hat the enterprising proprietors of this
-prightly and wide.awake paper had
placed new Cottrell & Babcock
steam press in their office and had en-
,srged 10 twenty-eight columns, to
meet the pressing demands of their in
creasing business. Shortening the
measure was a happy hit, and the
mechanical execution presents most
1eautiful display of artistic taste and
kill. The Chronicle is well posted and
outspoken upon all vital questions and

interests of the country. 1t stands pre-

THE MEcHANIcsvmLE SCHOOLS.

The Mechanicsville schools closed yester
day evening with the usual examinations.
The County Superintendent Mr. T. c..
Harms, and Mr.. VIM. Cooper. of the Board
of Directors, being present. The average
attendance at these schools during the past
session has been about thirty-fve for each
class, or one hundred and forty in total.
The schools have been conducted by Messrs
A. Lonas and j. McLemore, and Misses
Jeffries and Brain. The examinations
proved creditable to both the teachers and
the students the latter having progressed
favorably with their studies. These schools,
being in the 18th district, are not classed
with the free schools of Knoxville proper,
but being suburban schools, we mention
them in connection with our city schools.
Knoxville may well boast of her ed
ucational privileges. Few cities in the
South enjoy superior advantages. The
East Tennessee University has n corps
of Professors and Instructors that
would do credit to any institution
North or South. The course of instruc-
ton is thorough. What is wanted is
more room and more apparatus for
teaching. These will be supplied at
an early day we trust For the year
Just closing, over three hundred stu
dents were enrolled.
The city schools during the year,
have been attended by over eleven
hundred pupils, and have accomplish
ed glorious work. They were never
so popular as now. Their manage
ment has been admirable-not perfect,
but as near so as circumstances would
permit. They have been patronized
by the best families in the city, and
the progress made by pupils has been
most gratifying. These schools are the
just pride of the city.
In addition to these We have the
East Tennessee Female institute, under
the management of Prof. NJ. C. But.
| Ter. His character as an earnest edu.
Gator and an enthusiastic friend Of
education is we'll known. 1t is female
school Of which any city might fee
proud.
The Select School, kept by Mrs. NJ
a. Richardson, is just closing a most
prosperous year, both as to attendance
and the character CT instruction given
| Mrs. Richardson possesses the happy
faculty of controlling her pupils anC
enforcing discipline, by gaining the
affections OF her pupils. This, in ad
dition to her other accomplishments
makes her most successful teacher
it is and no wonder she succeeds.

AN OLD WAR SUIT.
Important Litigation ia the circuit
Court.

Court.
There is now being tried in the Cir
cult Court, before Hon. +. II. Hall aud
a jury, an ejectment suit, involving
the title to the old Reynolds farm,
about six miles south of the city, now
owned by Gen. Jos. A. Cooper. The
land was bought by Gen. Cooper from
Senator Brownlow, who bought it at
an execution sale under judgment
he recovered against Reynolds and
Others, for arrest and false imprison-
ment during the war. Judgment was
given Senator Brownlow about 1865,
for the reasons above stated.
Reynolds claims the proceedings in
the original suit were defective, that
the attachment upon the land which
was in lieu of personal service was de-
fective, and hence the judgment void.
| The Supreme Court of the United
States have decided that the Judgment
and original proceedings were regular
and valid, but the present Supreme
| Court of Tennessee hold differently
The question is, which judgment will
| finally prevail?
The question now is principally &
| legal one and under the charge of tn,
court the case will go to thejury to-day

a SAD AFFAIR
Two Ladies' Thrown FROM - vehicle
and BADLY Hurt

Friday morning, as Mrs. Isaac
Hutchinson and Mrs. John Keziah,
two widow ladies, living in the west
end of the county, about six miles from
the city, We're coming into market with
baskets of eggs, &C., in a one-horse
vehicle, one side Of the shaft came
loose, while on the Clinton pike just
beyond DIR. Crozier's. frightening the
horse which ran away, and of course,
as one side of the shaft was loose, the
vehicle was soon turned over and the
two ladies were thrown out. Mrs.
keziah was badly bruised about the
face and head, her arm broken above
the elbow, the bones protruding from
the skin, and, 1t is thought, received
internal injuries /; while Mrs. Hutch
inson for time was lying in an insen-
sible condition, with a frightful scar
over one of her eyes. The lady who
had her arm broken, got up and walked
into Dr. CroZier's office, where she was
followed by Mrs. Hutchinson as soon
as she revived, when IL was found that,
aside from the bruises mentioned, she
received other serious injuries in her
breast After receiving the proper
medical attention, Drs. French and
Deaderick having been called in, the
ladies were taken to their homes in a
vehicle, by a fIiend. 1t was reported
that one OF the ladies had the whole
side of her face mashed in, and was
dead, but such was not the case, al
though her face was considerably
bruised, and the blood mixed with the
broken eggs, made them appear worse
hurt than they really were; yet it is a
serious affair, aud it is impossible, at
present. TO nredict the result.
