The Morristown Gazette.
WEDNESDAY, MAR. 81, 1875.
4 WORD PERSONAL.

Something near three months ago,
when the editor Of the GAZETTE was
called away-from the personal super
vision OF its columns. with much hes
Ration and many doubts we confded
Ss management to the hands of 9th
ers. But now, upon once again as
Stunning the editorial management,
we feel that no apologies are neces-
sary to be made to our readers for
its contents and conduct during our
absence. With the exception, per-
haps, Of a paragraph or two, which
we would not under the mellowing
influences of a christian sympathy,
have published, the paper has been
managed 10 meet our approval.
1t has always been our endeavor
to make the GAZETTE live, reada-
BILE, newsy paper. And it has been
a source of gratifcation to US to know
that it has so ranked in the estima-
ton of the reading public. We are
proud to feel that in the last three
months it has made no retrogre5sion.
To the gentlemen, old and young,
who haze assisted in the manage
n-ent in the time Of our absence, we
tender our earnest and sincere
thanks, and heartily congratulate
them upon tho success of their eff
forts.
We salute our readers, and prom.
Use that in the future. as in the past,
we will spare neither pains nor ex-
pense to please. 1t is our honest
intention that the GAZETTE shall be
the newspaper of Upper East Ten
nessee; and with the continued sup
port and confidence of generous
public, we entertain no fears of a
failure.
a. 1t is not in the power Of mOrtals
to command success:
But we'll do more-wE'LL DESERVE 1T. "
With thanks for past and hopes
for future patronage, we slide into
the traces and proceed to business.

"a. A LIEN ON GRowINe CRoPs.
Landlords, in addition to liens al
ready given by law, have further
lien on growing crops for supplies of
food and clothing furnished tenants.
20. ANTI-CIvIL RIGHTs. - The
new law in regard to hotels, res
taurants and places of public amuse-
ment, simply abrogates the common
law and allows persons who engage
in such business to receive or refuse
guests, at their option.
There are other general laws but
these are the most important. The
legislation of the session will disap-
point many. and offend many more.
But it is the best could be done, and
better than the average of such bod
les. The majority of the members
of both Houses were good men and
worked day and worked hard
and disinterestedly, Many of them
are now sincerely anxious that 9TH
ers with more pretensions should try
it in 1874.
IMPORTANT BILLS THAT FAILED.
Among the important bills that
failed to pass were the local option
bill, railroad discrimination bill, Sun
day liquor bill, and what is known
as the Flippin bill. which gave mag
istrates exclusive original jurisdic-
ton to try all misdemeanor cases of
fraudulent appropriation of proper
ty under $25. There was a. consid-
cradle parliamentary wrangling over
this last named bill in the House
but it at last failed to reach the
Senate in time to be enrolled. Bills
to repeal the funding act, conven-
tional rate of interest law, to pre-
vent State officers from making loans
to meet temporary necessities Of the
State government, also failed.

u 1t is remarked as somewhat
singular that President Grant doesn't
speak to Senator Johnson when he
meets him on the street in Washing
ton; but we see no reason why it
should be so regarded. Grant is
not much Of a taIker anyway; and
he knows very we'll that if he should
say anything Johnson wouldn't be-
lieye him.

OUR LEGISLATORS.
SENA TOR HODGES IND REPRE-

6ENTATTYE LEEPER.
The thirty-nfnth General Assem-
bly, adjourned last Wednesday, at
The expiration of the seventy-five
days allowed by the Constitution for
its session. Although there has been
adverse criticism freely bestowed
upon the labors of the body. we be-
lieve that it deserves well the APP
prevail in the main of the people, as
the legislation will be greatly bene-
fetal to the material interests Of the
State. IF the work accomplished,
however, does not find favor in all
quarters, it can at least be said that
it will come up to average expecta-
ton, since more sources of revenue
were brought into play, with less ex-
pense to be incurred in running tile
State Government and it should be
borne in mind that the financial
troubles of our State, like those of
every other portion Of the country,
have their principal sources in the
legislation at Washington, and we
must not suppose that they can.be
corrected during short session of
our legislature. We repeat, we can
not believe that the legislation per-
fected will utterly fail to meet the
just expectations of the people. 1t
is conceded that there were able and
efficient men in the body; and it is
in no spirit of fiattery but the hon
est conviction of personal knowledge
that prompts us here to declare that
no county or district in the State
had more laborious, faithful, honest
influential and respected represen-
tatives in either branch of the body
than Hamblen county had in the
persons of Hon. James G. Hodges.
of the Senate, and Hon. L. +. Leep-
er of the House. Always at their
post, not a good measure was pro-
posed that they did not cordially es-
pouse and work for its passage, and
as fearlessly oppose and labor to de-
feat those OF a questionable or OBJ
noxious form. A member of five of
the most important committees of
the Senate, Capt. Hodges labors
were constant and arduous. On ev-
cry important subject discussed his
voice was heard and his practical
and judicious amendments with the
rarist exceptions elected the appro-
val of his brother Senators. Pro
badly no member left the impress of
his matured ideas of the legislation
necessary to meet the expectations
Of his constituents more indellibly
fixed upon the laws enacted than
Senator Hodges. We do not par
ticularize our immediate representa-
tives invidiopsly. Their coadjutors
were in the main better than the av-
erage legislators since the war, and
whether their legislation will prove
satisfactory or not, at any rate let
MS accord to them the praise that is
due to an honest desire to do what
is right, and await the practical
workings of the laws they have en-
acted.

Mlle.s- Diane is a very romantic
young lady, with ataste for the plays
and novels of the younger Dumas,
and especially for the Dame aux
Camelias.- So she was not surprised
when one day the card of the Count
de X-,the father of the yiscount
in question, was handed to her, and
an elegant elderly gentleman. fault
lessly dressed and with the red rib
bon of the Legion of Honor at his
button hole, was ushered into her
boudoir.
~My son loves Mademoiselle, y

So down Diane sat and penned the
following epistle:
'-DEAE HENRI love you no

The Count took the letter, inspect
ed it carefully, and placed 1T in his
pocket book, from which he then
drew a check for the amount named.
which he placed in the lady's eager
hands.
'sAllow me, my child, to raise to
