him by telegram. "The balmy" came
quickly, and while he was dreaming of
senatorial pleasures and honors his sleep
was disturbed by the announcement of de-
feat. AS to his past hope, he was re-
quested "to be good enough to throw it
down aud dance upon it" He little knew
how much hope had survived within him
under encouragement, until he felt its
death shock. But in the exhaustless cata-
logue of Heavens mercies to mankind, the
editor of the Republican of this city is raised
up to administer germs of comfort, and

WASHINGTON, Feb. 90, 1875.
How like beavers they are working in
perhaps, be better described than imagined.
They are driving through the work with q
coach. and-six, Fastening to redeem, as far
as possible, the misspent time. The house
"pit of Wiglomeration, such as Jarndyce
felt the court of chancery to be. We spent
considerable time there to-day amid the
"dinning clang," and felt that we had wan
dered by mistake into a geological garden,
until the word Louisiana struck upon our
ear, and we found ourself face to face with
the presentation of the Louisiana report.
Succeeding this was the revenue bill, on
which the house went into committee of
the whole but it offered little interest to
49,, uvius a business man, nor dealer in
tea, coffee, tobacco and the like, nor pos
sessed of taxable incomes, bank stock
mortgages and similar blessings and Ills.
Yesterday the senate somewhat reduced
the pile that had accumulated in their
'mendng basket" passing three bills and
almost another Besides the Indian appro-
priation, West Point appropriation and
pension bills, which were passed, they
worked well on the postoflice appropria-
ton bill but hung over the franking priv
ilege in hankering mood for its rcstora-
ton. When the statement was made that
1886, 900 were expended for official stamps
for the postoffice department, there seemed
to prevail wish 81 hadn't voted Tor the
adjustment of the franking system" After
| much discussion an amendment to the bill
was finally adopted to the effect, that from
and after the passage of this act the Con-
gressional record, or any part thereof, or
| speeches, or reports therein contained shall
be carried free of postage and that all
public documents for the use of either
house of congress may pass free upon the
frank of any member of the present con-
| gress until December /, 1875.
Then came the clause repeating the Pa
| citic Mail subsidy, which could not be
voted upon until the report of the judi
ciary committee had been heard, which
was to decide whether the contract made
by the United States government in 1872
granting the subsidy should be considered
binding. That time might be saved, the
astute Conkling moved that the bill should
be considered as passed with the clause
stricken out, but with the understanding
that it should be open to reconsideration
the following day, in order that that clause
might be voted upon after hearing the re-
port from the judiciary committee, which
would be presented the next day. Conse-
quently a lively debate ensued to day, and
seemingly fair one, unbiased by popular
opinion and clamor. The vote finally re.
suited in retaining the clause as it came
from the house, for the repeal of the sub
sidy, Vermont giving its vote in the affirm
alive. The whole bill was then passed

land Gap Turnpike.
DEAR GEzETTE-As there seems to be
some misapprehensiOn about the law
recently passed in regard to the Beams
Station and Cumberland Gap turnpike,
allow me space enough to correctly state
the law. g..
The bill was drawn by Hon. H. r.
Patton of Claiborne, and myself, in
response to petitions from Claiborne and
Granger counties The original bin
contained a provision for gate in Clai-
borne and nome I'm Hamblen It was In
troduced in the House, and amended on
motion of Il think the Representative
from Hamblen so as to provide for a gate
in Hamblen. When it came to the Sen
ate, moved an amendment leaving it
optional with the commissioners whether
they would establish a gate in Hamblen
or not, which was adopted. I left it
thus, believing that no gate would, at
least for years to come, be established
in Hamblen. Certainly none ought to
be for the present, and cannot be till 1876.
copy below the list, I'd and Sd sections
of the act. These contain all that is
needed, of the law, to correct the mis-
apprehensions referred to. EaH#
SEC. 1. Be it enacted, &c, That the
line of said road shall remain the same
as it now is, from the Cumberland Gap
to point in Granger county. Tennessee,
where the Morristown road DIVORCES from
said line, the road from said point to
Morristown is hereby adopted as part of
said road, so as to make the southern
terminus at Morristown, instead of
Cheeks cross roads.
SEC. @ That the Board of Commits
sioners of said road shall be as now con-
stituted, a Board of Commissioners until
the first Monday of January, 1876, at
which date, the County Courts of Clai.
borne, Granger, and Hamblen counties
shall each elect one Commissioner. Said
Commissioners, after being qualified as
now prescribed by law, shall constitute
a Board of Commissioners for said road.
SEC. 8. That it shall be the duty of
said Commissioners to establish a toll
gate at some point between the town of
Tazewell and Cumberland Gap; and they
may establish a gate an the county Of Ham
6Ie'1 at some point to be agreed upon by
said Commissioners. Provided the eiti-
zens of said county of Claiborne shall
not be required to pay toll at said gate;
provided further, that the gate keeper
shall not receive more than one hundred
dollars per annum.
Now, If the Board of Commissioners
have attempted to establish gate in
Hamblen, / submit that they are out of
their duty, until new Board is elected.
And certainly il viii do the road no
good, and viii be directly opposed to the
interests of the people of all three of the
counties Interested.
Yours truly,
J. O. HoDGEs.

week was most distressing calamity.
An the fruit appears TO have been Killed
by it, the buds and blossoms hanging
limp and black. Cover seemed no pro-
lection whatever, as flowers, fruits and
vegetables under cover were destroyed.
All garden truck up has been killed, and
fears. are entertained that the standard
crops have been injured. However,
upon this point all is mere conjecture,
witha wide margin in favor of little or
no damage.
1t is beyond all questioning to doubt
the failure of the fruit crop, at least for
this portion of East Tennessee, as we
have the best of authority that the most
of it was killed as dead as mackerel,
and that Notwithstanding the fact that
some thought the rain, which followed
so closely after the freeze, would be
an advantage, we cannot from general
opinion realize more than a third of a
crop, at the farthereSt.
