Agricultural and Seed House.

We have more than once heretofore
in the GAZETTE expressed the hope that
our readers dealing in such goods, would
patrOnize the enterprising business men
OF Knoxville, who are striving to build
mp and make it a business centre. The
advertisement of Judge George Brown,
the first and oldest Agricultural and
Seed house ever opened in Knoxville,
we believe the only one now there max
Gng these features a speciality, is eminent
~ worthy the confidence and patronage
Of the public. He is the sole agent for
best wagon made in the United States
and also for the various agricultural
implements, plOws, mowers, fertilizers,
cane mills, hay bailers, cider mills, &c e,
&c, now offered at greatly reduced
prices. He makes a speciality of Field
Seeds, and sells none but the most
choice, and those at very little profit
We hazard nothing in promising that
Judge Brown will offer merchants or
others dealing with him as strong in
ducements to patrOnize his house, as
they will get from any other. Then if
the merchants or farmers of our section
can get the same accommodation in
Knoxville that they receive elsewhere,
we cannot see why it will not be mater
ally advantageous that they go there to
purchase. We call the attention of our
readers to Judge Browns advertisement
in tO-day's paper.

Catching a Cannon Rail.

Another American has distinguished
himself abroad. His name is Holtum,
and he has lately been attracting at the
FolieS BergeruS, in Paris, by having a
cannon bali fired at him and catching it
in his hands. This prodlglous feat was
witnessed nightly, and although the &C
tors present avowed that there was no
trick, Pierre Veron Of the Mond WUStre
would not blieve il. He said the can
non ball must be thrown To Holtum from
the stage. The latter made bet of
5000 francs that he would perform the
feat under conditions which left no room
TO doubt, and when the bet was taken
Feron designated Mabille rs the place
for trial. All the journalists of Paris
were invited, and they found Holtum
there before his cannon. 1t was exam
ined with minute care, and the heavy
bali was passed from hand to hand. IL
am no longer in my own house." said
Ioltum, 'yOu are master here and you
must watch over all the arrangements. )"
Having carefully aimed and dashed his
cannon, il was charged, and Holtum
took his place against a plank target ten
yards away. This was TO show that the
ball was solid and the force of the pow
der great enough to send II through the
plank. Holtum got the aim of his gun,
and then placed his head in a position
against the plank, giving a command TO
fire. The ball just grazed the hair and
broke through the plank, rolling some
twenty yards further on. The same bali
was picked up by tho journalists, who
again charged the cannon and sent home
the ball, and this time Holtum caught
the ball in his hands a. neatly as he
does nightly on the Stage. lie won his
bet aud no one seemed disposed to ac-
cept bis offer OF 5000 francs toany one
who would pc.orm the same astounding
feat.
The physical force required must be .
enormous, but uoltLm showed his .
strength by tossing up cannon balls as
i they were 80 many oranges. The on
" precautions taken arc very simple
he wears very thick leather gloves, and
overs his breast with many Ihicknesses
+ thin paper TO form = sort Of culrasS.
Tins looks like a very dangerous feat,
md particularly the drst part of it, where
aoltum places his head against the tar
ret halt an inch below where the ball
vail probably strike. If the powder
hould happen TO be defective, some day
here might be IN accident, swapping
lis head verv neatly.

DlB BATE IN THE SENATE, YESTERDAY MORTON 81
LESoEs BAYARD-THURMAN VARY voLUBLE.
Special Di patch to the Nep York Herald.
WAsnIsoroN Dec. 16.-rhe principal feature
Of the Senate proceedings to-day was the dis
cussion OF Senator Morton's bill to appoint a
committee Of five to investigate the alleged
frauds in the Mississippi election. The debate
was confined to Senators Thurman, Morton and
Bayard, and for an hour and half the gladiato-
rial exhibition was quite interesting, compared
with the dull routine OF ordinary business ses-
sions.
The psople In the galleries listened to Mr..
Mortons vivid descriptions of Southern Demo-
Gratis marching through the country, with loaded
cannons and Winchester rifles and intimdating
the black voters, aud they wondered how Union
man had the courage to stay there, much less to
vote. Then Mr.. Bayard talked about constitu
tional law and Senatorial Interference with the
courts in direct violation with the spirit of the
constitution until his opponent seemed to have
% case at ALL But the latter listened unmoved,
and at the proper time ietorted by saying that
when the Democrats wanted to investigate the
Louisiana election frauds Mr. Bsyard was the
first to declare that the Senate would go back
OF such legislation and courts and decisions,
and investigate the frauds committed by the
Republicans, and now, when the Republi-
cans wished to exercise the same right, MIR.
Bayard thought to silence them by defamation
on constitutional law The Louisiana investiga-
tion of 1878 was ordered before the Senatorial
credentials had been presented. He did not
propose revolutionary measures, but to prevent
revolution and to prevent voters from being
trampled down and robbed OF their rights. Here
whisper ran around the gallery that Morton
could not be silenced 80 easily.
MIR. Thurman had good deal to say aud bis
voice rolled through the chamber with volubil-
ity that reminded one Of John Logan at politi-
cal camp meeting. Mr.. Morton paid little atten-
tlon to It, however. He hung his spectacles on
his nose and continued raneacking his papers as
though only the cerk were reading the journal.

business MEETING LAST EVENING" REPLY TO
MRS. MouLToS's LETrER-ofR. BEFcHER WANTS
AN ADVISORY CoUSCIL-DEAcOh VESTS CASE
DISCUSSED.
The proceedings at the business meeting of
Plymouth Church last evening were important.
Mr.. Beecher himself admitted that the " cam
paign" was only just commencing. The meet
ing was called for the purpose Of considering
the report of the Examining Committee, who
were requested TO prepare reply to the letter
Addressed to the church by Mrs. Moulton.
Outside of this, however, letter WAS read
from ex-Deacon West which created quite
stir in the meeting. Brother West had
nothing to retract and no apology to make, and
he spoke his mind in manner not at all pleas
ing to many of the church members. 1t ID prob
able that he would then and there have been ex-
PEELED without trial only that Mr.. Beecher him
self interfered and threw oil on the trobled wa
ters. The meeting WAS by no means large
one, the lectnre.room of the church not being
more than two-thirds full and the majority OF
those present were ladies'. The Examining Com
mittee refused to accede to the request OF Mrs.
Moulton to enbody -four additional Questions in
the call to the Congregational Council, 80 that
there is now no chance Of q mutual council be-
ing summoned. Late in the evening, however,
on motion OF MIR. Beecher, resolution was
passed calling for an advisory council, TO meet
on the second Sunday OF January next for the
purpose of advising Plymouth Church as 10
whether there is anything in the church which
rt oures correction. Mr. Beecher said that they
were baraesed too long by the impertinent IN
terference of others in their domestic affairs,
and be Thought they should take the initiative
in their own affairs from this day forward.
