The Government sohisky officers, in
Knoxville, a few days since, chartered a
two-horse team TO trd1,7sgsr ten gallon
cask Of edptltred ~ sohssEy to the place
where they offered it for. public sale.
Think of 1T Most preposterons and RI
diculous idea of using the peoples mo-
ney so extravagantly, when they could
have carried the cask themselves or en-
ployed a negro boy for the trife of Is or
20 centsi Upright Government pets and
ravishers Of the hard earnings of the la
boring classi Ever since the war, the
whisky men, as they are termed, have
been plundering the hills, valleys, noun
tains and dales of our state, seSfching
like wolves for the precincts of the illi-
cit distillers, and frequently raising con-
fusion and riot among them. They do
not go to the. still houses il the spirit
of reconciliation, nor to explain the law;
but they dash in upon them in bolster
Gus and authoritative manner, backed
by a score of dead beats or worthless
fellows that would not otherwise be EN-
ployed to make an honest living, and
tear down and destroy the stills, capture
the whisky, take prisoners the unfortu-
nate party or parties engaged therein and
march them of to Jail to await trial at
the proper term of the Federal Court.
Instead of enforcing the law as it is pre-
scribed to them and for which they are
ssoor1 to do, they periure themselves by
at least two-thirds of the arti-
cles that pass into their possession. It
is conceded fact that there is no little
swindling transacted by this ring, and
yet there are millions of dollars yearly
by the Government to sustain
them. They ara paid enormous salaries
for their own simple services, and when
they raid" on still house they hire
pack of fellows as described above, at
salary probably from So so to 81 90 per
day and xpenses-throwing them in to
drink all the captured whiskey they can
guzzle down. All the honest and hard |
working people of the land have to bear
their proportion of tax in keeping up
this modest little tea-party of Govern
ment pets. Better, q thousand times, |
that every valley, hook or corner of the
State were planted with stfll-hotse, |
than to encourage such a shameful |
of money. Every gallon of /
whisky captured by them costs the Gov
eminent not less than ten dollars. How

We Travelled on the cars from Athens
20 Loudon last Saturday with John T..
Helms, Principal Clerk OF the Senate,
and editor of that best of weekIies, the
Morristown GAZETTE. He is an affabfe,
genlai gentleman, and about as clever
az man can be aud. act With the Demo
cratic party. The GAZETTE is one of
the most yigoEqrs papers published in
the State, ard ttss mechanical execution
shows that good printer is at the helm.
-L0ud01s Times.
Correct, my lordl The GAZETTE is the
equal of any frst-class weekly paper IN
the State. Both the press and public
seem to be much in love with it. Be
cause it is always neat and readable
paper, speaking with an indepe4dent
tongue upon any subject it may feel dis
posed to grapple. It takes particular
pride in trying to promote the best IN
terest and prosperity in the surrounding
vicinity of its publication, and uses no
little effort in this end We feel that
the people realize and appreciates its
value, because of TIE hearty co-opera-
ton they exhibit toward us as wen as
the many Testimonials Of esteem for our
success that reaches our ears daily. An
other cheering and gratifying feeling
that causes our hearts to swell with pride,
is this: the GAZETTE can boast of having
one Of the most respectable, reliable and
prompt list Of PAYING SUBSCRIBERS in
the State, and indeed we are proud of
them. May they all live to patronize
the GAzET2E for many years to come.

1t is not difcult to alarm the trnid and insAllaa

Of pseudo bitters, stentirely free from alcohJ1s .
have raised false cry against tonic preparations
containing spirits, and ne doubt have frightened
few sick folks into purchasing the fermented rub
bish which they sen, and which is infinitely more
injurious than the vilest drains drunk at tavern
bars. But already tremend 9us reaction has set
in against these abominahle nostrums, which, be-
ing devoid Of the alcoholic basis which alone pre-
vents liquid botanic preparations from turning
sour, decompose almost as soon as made. Hostet-

AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.

AT THE PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. Mr. Campbell, formerly Of .Vir-
ginia, preached to select and well be-
haved audience, at the Presbyterian
Church in. this place last Sunday morn
ing At 101 o'clock. he assembled the
pulpit, and delivered short and feeling
| prayer. He then, read the 18th chapter
of st. Luke as his mornings lesson, af-
ter which, the choir, assisted by the
congregation, sang the 545th hymn
Presbyterian collection, one verse, which
is as follows:
Spread for thee the festai beard,
Pee with richest dainties stored;
To thy Fathers bosom pressed,
Yet again q child confessed
Never from His house 70 roar.
Come and Welcome, sinner, comet
Mr.. Campbell then lifted up his voice in
prayer of much length, and at its con-
clusion, selected as his text the 18th and
18th verses of st. Luke-1st: 'F.T will
arise and 20 to my father and will Say
unto him, father, have sinned against
heaven and before thee" Cd: "And
am no more worthy to be called thy
son, make me as one of thy hired SER
wants"
We regret not having space, to give
the poihts of. sis Sermon, but will say he
did full justice to the parable of the
Prodigal Son, and the very impressive
manner in which it was delivered, prov
ed him to be. a speaker Of impassioned
eloquence, evidently acquired by long
practice:
AT THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
Mr., Pope, Pastor of the Baptist
Church, extended a cordial invitation to
Mr.. Campbell to oficiate in his pulpit
at night, which request was accepted,
and although the weather was very dis
agreeable, especially under foot, a large
audience assembled at the hour appoint
ed. After prayer, a selection was sweet
ly sung by the choir. Mr. Campbell
then read as his text, Matthew, 10th
chapter, 80 and SO verses-1st. 'FWiioso-
ever therefore shall confess Ne before
men, him will confess also, before NY
Father which is in heaven" Cd: ''But
whatsoever shall deny Ne before men,
him will also deny before Ny Father
which is in heaven"
His subject was we'll chosen, and sell
dom do we hear the word of God so
ably elucidated, as was done by Mr..
on this occasion. He has a
rich and full voice, and well deserved
the earnest attention given him by the

Citizens Meeting.

A meeting Of the citizens Of Nor
ristown was held at the Court House
at Z o'clock, p. m. goth instant. Or
motion Of D. Morris, John Murphey
was called to the Chair, and f. G.
Shannon appointed Secretary. The
object Of the meeting was stated by
the Chairman to be to devise some
means for the better government of
the town, and a more economical and
judicious management Of her fnan-
cIal affairs.
VIM. G. Taylor, the present Treas
urer, then made a brief statement.
showing the embarrassed condition
Of the town, and the necessity of the
citizens taking proper steps to Sc
cure better management of the rev.
enue than has heretofore existed. In
this statement Mr.. Taylor showed
the amount of revenue collected
since the year 1868, from the various
sources Of taxes. privileges, fines. &C.,
to be about $l5,O33.79; and the ap.
prcximate amount Of expenditures
to be about s7,954,18; leaving de-
felt of about S5.079.6i that has been
collected. and for which. the town
has nothing to show. From these
figures it was apparent that the town
had been defrauded; but from the
loose and unsatisfactory way in which
the books and accounts have been
kept. it was difficult to ascertain the
particular instances in which the
frauds had been practiced.
RI was also stated that charges had
been preferrsd against certrin par
ties for such frauds as had already
been ferreted out; and on account
of the discord and unfrieidly feeling
now existing between the present
officials, there could not be an i'm
partial investigation of these charg-
ca. On motion OF J. M. Bewley the
Chairman appointed the following
citizens a committee, clothed with
the power 10 inquire into and inves-
tigate the matters brought before
the meeting in reference to the charg-
es of frauds alleged to have been per
petrated upon the town of Morris
town; also to see what could be |
done to harmonic the present town |
authorities; and, if necessary. to call |
another meeting of the citizens, and |
maks their report. The following |
were appbinted on the COM

A petition was also presented by

signed by most Of the citizens pres.

Ths Printer Ahead.

AZ 4 late printers festival the follow
ing toast was given! The printer-the
master of all trades; he beats the farmer
with the. hoe, the carpenter with his
rules, and the mason with setting of tall
columns; he surpasses the lawyer and
doctor in attending to his cases, and
beats the parson in the management of
