Proceedings of the Council.

At meeting Of the Mayor and Alder
men, held Saturday evening, Nov. %,
1874, the following proceedings were
had:
DR.. Michael Carrigcr complained to
the board Of the assessment made of his
property for taxes for the present year;
claiming the same to be exempt from
city taxes, upon the ground that it was
farming lands. Among other property
claimed as being exempt, was his mag
nifcent brick residence on THIRD NORTH
STREET After giving the Doctor a
patient hearing, the board was of the
opinion that his residence and some
other houses that he has inside the cor
porate limits, were not lands used for
farming purposes, - within the meaning
of the city charter, ard accordingly as
sessed the samc for taxes.
A tax of ferry cents in the hundred
dollars was levied to defray the current
expenses of the coming year; and tax of
the same amount was levied to pay she
due interest upon the beaded debt of
the corporation; and the two funds direct-
ed to be kept separate.
The street committee were direceed TO
have stone walk made across jackson
street, on LIST North street, so as to coa-
meet the pavement at the Court House
lot with the pavement leading from
Main street 20 the Female Academy.
The street committee were also direct
ed to have all necessary work done on
Henry street to make it as good as
first class county road.
An Ordinance was introduced to es-
tablish work house, to which shall be
committed all persons convicted of mis-
demeanors who fail to pay the fines and
costs imposed upon them. Which was
laid over till next meeting
The board adjourned till o'clock p.
m, 1st Saturday in December, 1874.

We are glad to note that the base lite
rary critic of that metropolitan journal,
the New York Tribune, endorses the
cheerful critique on Bret Harte which
that child of nature, John Helms, print
ed in his GAZETTE. And now we are not
sure but what we really were quite slug
gish, intellectually, in not approaching
Bret Harte at the Opera House, recently
We cannot insist on our judgment against
both John Helms and the New York
Tribune. Hats off Pres and Herald.
1t isn't the coincidence that the opinion
of the GAZETTE is endorsed by so repu-
table and well known journal as the
New York Tribune, on so insignificant
matter to the public as the merits or
dement's of Mr.. Harte, that initiates US
with honest pride. We have its endorse
ment on a matter of far more Importance
and interest to the people than that ques-
ton can ever be. We are glad the Press
and Herald enables US to call attention
to it. While the gushing editor is
gliding along on the magniicently up
holstered seats of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia road, perchance in
company with the Newport Times and
the Morristown Spy, with no sound to
break the mOnotony Of the hour save the
hoarse croaking of the Annunciator,"
and with no care for distance, as it is Gov
cred by free pass, then he will have, OPP
portunity fully to cuss and discuss this
most libelous ~ assault upon the virtue
and morality of his class. The Tribune
says:
The Legislature of Wisconsin and sew
Graf other representative bodies in diff
fercnt parts Of the country are suffering
under a spasm of virtuous indignation
at the abuses of the dcadhcad system,
and especially at the extent to which
the granting of free passes on railroads
is carried. The corruption consequent
thereupon is generally denounced, and
legislation is recommended
as the only effectual mode of protecting
judges, and other public Of
ficers from their own facsle weakness.
1t is a sclf-evideRt proposition that
railroad managers when they issue a
free ticket to a judge or other public
expect some lllegitimate
favor in consideration therefor So, TOO,
with the members OF our Legislature
Every man in the Capitol has a pass that
will carry him from one end eft the State
to the other without cost. What proper
return can he make for this gratihca- !
ton
Hats off to the Tribune Press and

Went BACK ON Him.

A few evenings since, the following
little colloquy occurred between oae
Of our highly respectable timers and a
professor of the pillow from the rural dis
tricts :
Countryman.-(Addressing tinner) Do
you want 10 buy any hay?
Tinner.-{nervously) What's the prices
Countryman -Scventy-fve cents tper
hundred weight)
After II few minutes of sober refec-
ton, he turned upon the countrymau
and said; II have nothing to eat it, not
even a COW" But, said the timer,
will buy your hay provided you throw
me in the COW to eat it.
(leaning on his elbows
and in deep thoughtl-Agrecd. How
much hay do you want
Tinner.-Two hundred pounds,
At this critical moment, the country
man was so overcome by the last words
that he excitedly drawled out; why,
IL Thought you'd take stack" 1t is
unnecessary to say that the trade was
''split, and that the countryman imme-
diately vamosed the rancho.

OBITUARY.
AUGUSTUS Rice.

This venerable patriarch departed this
life last Saturday, Nov. %, in the eighty
third year of his age.
AT the age of twenty he come to this
county in company with Mr. Orville
Rice, of Hawkins county, possessing
nothing but honesty of purpose and in
domitable energy.
For years he was engaged in the mer-
camille and tanning business, and daTing
that long period, no man could say aught
against his integrity.
Mr.. Rice has been twice married. His
first wife was a Mcfarland; his last a
Jarnagin, and is still living. AS hus-
band, father and citizen, he did his duty
In all the relations of life, he was genial
and kind, but firm in what he believed
to be right. The most noteworthy fea-
ture of his character was his pure, con.
sistent Christian life. He loved the cause
of Christianity; be loved his Church,
For at least forty years, he was rul-
ing elder in ST. Paul's Presbyterian
Church in this county. He Iabored faith
fully 10 advance all the interests OF the
Church, and was ever kind and courteous
to the ministers. They always found a
hospitable welcome at his home.
About six years ago he moved nearer
Morristown and connected himself with
the Church here. he was not able often to
get TO Church, but IL was his delight,
when possible, 90 worship with Gods
people.
His last was peace-yes, q happy tri-
umph. He trusted implicitly in the mer-
its of the atonement through Christ, and
met death without shudder
May the Spirit of God bless this sad
dispensation to his aged widow, his chill
dren and grandchildren. May they ever
revere his memory and initiate his
worthy life. -

Fraudulent Warrants.

number of Sullivan county warrants,
which had been paid and Cancelled, and
left in the office of the Chairman of the

The warrants were cancelled by writing

Sample, teacher. Mr.. s., though labor
ing quite hard, is somewhat ancient in
his methods of teaching and manner of
government. A little too much of the
Ttread-miIP style is found in the school
room. This should be exchanged for
more modern methods.
Now, ell wish TO say about the mat
ter is this, that at the time these notes
were published, Capt. Trent had nat Uts-
tied my sthoOt, consequently he had no
means of knowing anything about my

sort, any further than to correct an in
justice implicitly put upon great men
yet surviving all around u.s. Among the
other distinguished honors to be bestow-
ed upon this leviathan the Chronicle men
tions this, which is susceptible of being
misunderstood by one not thoroughly
acquainted with the republican sympIi-
city and equality of this free land:
"Col. C. NJ. McGhee, President of the
East Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia
railroad, has extended the courtesies of
the road to the distinguished gentleman
and his party"
If this was intended for one thing more
than another, it was to show the magni-
tude of unusual hOnors to be conferred
on the august leviathan. In this, it
is all wrong, and no one knows it better
than thee. 1t is wrong to trifle with
honored ignorance in 80 important a
matter It is better that the leviathan
should know at once the sort of min
nows that float his equal. The Chronicle
knew when it penned its exhibit Of the
magnitude of the honor rendered to the
distinguished victim by the President of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia road, that such marks of personal
and perspective consideration, on his part,
were quite common. That honored and
of noble fame as he was he would only
be placed on an equal footing with other
who had been awarded the
privileges of the road. 1t should not
have suppressed from this leviathan sub
ject of bloated aristocracy," that the
humblest newspaper man, if he behaved
to form, whether his paper was myth |
or reality, had the same exalted privi- |
lege extended to him by the generous
President of the East Tennessee, Virgil !

was to purchase iron by the million or to |
