The EaII Kiycr SIrIkc.

Affairs relating to the Fall River strike remain
about the same Many operatives would doubt
less return to work but for the fear of violence
from the strikers. Threats have been made in
many misunderstood countenanced, however,
by the union. TO day eight spnners, with their
families, took the train for Boston, en route for
the ''old country" their expenses home being
paid by the union. They were escorted to the
depot by 800 or more operatives male and fe-
male, headed by fife and drum, and bearing a
banner. In Saturdays papers card appeared
from the weavers' committee to the effect that
the strikers were ready and willing to consider
any proposition from the manufacturers having
in view settlement of the existing difficulties.
1t is thought slight concession now on each
side would arrange the whole matter in dispute.

Andy Johnson and jay cooke.

At this juncture it occurred to me to ask Mr.
johnson how he was getting along with Jay
Cooke &Co., if it would not be tresspassing up
on his private affairs. " 1t is no trespass upon
my private affairs for you to ask that question,
he replied. II had $4,000, the accumulations
OF my lifetime, in Henry ID. Cookies banl
IN Washington, and the receiver has
been able TO pay depositors fifty
cents on the dollar. My main object in going
to Washington at this time is to stir those fellowt
up and see If tho victims OF Jay Cooke e. Co
can not get a little more than half of what be
longs to them. L shall try to make it lively fol
that concern in one way or another. l presume
the country will know more about Jay Cooke q
Co. before long than they now know CORES

Michaels (Nld.) Comet says that "for the last
three months we have had an opportunity to
fairly and fully test the efficiency Of the Local
Option system IN our community, and it must
be conceded, even by the enemies of the cause,
that it works we'll, and accomplishes all that its
most sanguine friends could have desired.
Among certain classes of our people, liquor has
become absolutely inaccessible, while othera ab-
stain from its use because it is not conveniently
obtainabe, and the result is that there is de-
gree of sobriety unparalleled in the history Of
our community; and just in proportion as n peo-
pie are led to an observance Of the laws Of tenn
perance and sobriety, so they advance in those
industries that lead to prosperity. If in addition
to the severities of the present winter, there had
been also the ills of the liquor traffic, there must
have been many helpless people thrown upon
beneyolence of our community"

them; glad they can come cheap, and,
they, no doubt enjoy their trip very much,
however much 20 the contrary may be the
experience Of the railroad companies.

LAWING AND BEHAVING.
some Lively Litigation IN Deadoriek
gnwaaa rnnwHa

A rather interesting triEl was in progress
on DeadeTick street yesterday, about which
some of the J. P's and legal lights will be
called upon TO further bother their brains
tomorrow. FOr sometime a woman named
Jennie Claire had been boarding at house
kept by Jennie Taylor, ard few days since
she concluded 70 change her abode, bot she
was in debt 10 her landlady So fer board,
and also SS.75 borrowed money. She pro-
posed to Tgave without settling her indebt-
edness, and her departure did not take
well with the landlady. Claire had made
up her mind to leave, and SIZE carried out
her purpose. But Taylor swOre out an at
tschmeIt, placed the warrant in the hands
Of Deputy Sheriff Wilkinson, and he
levied upon Claire's trunk, containing her
wearing apparel. After having served tie
attachment be left the trunk in possession
Of Taylor.
On leaving Taylor's Clair engaged board
al the house Of julia Curley. She now
got out q replevin warrant for the re-
cOyery Of her trunk and cloth
ing, having it served on Deputy Sher-
if Wilkinson. When Taylor was called
upon to surrender the articles in question,
she refused to give them up, aud could not
be induced to DO so. Claire brought suit
before Justice Brantley against Deputy
Sheriff Wilkinson, on the replegln
judgment, and got judgment in her favor
for $l35, $40 Of that amount having been
allowed for the contents Of her trunk and
the remainder for damages. WIKI
insO1 took an appeal to the Cir
cult Court. Tayo- instituted suit
against Claire before justices
Cassetty & Creighton for the amount the
latter owed her. Judgment vas rendered
in favor Of the plaintiff for the beard bill
and the borrowed money. The defendant,
under the pauper's O3tb, took an appeal TO
tie Circuit Court. C'aire's next step 10
swear out sn ancill3ry attainment aud
d aced it in the hands Of COLsts able Tucker,
Who levied on the trunk but failed to bring
it away with him. Claire's attorneys now
brought suit against Constable Tucker for
the contents Of the trunk and the case will
be investigated tomorrow.
Il is said Taylor wrUte Cu-ley a note and
told her if she kept Claire at her house
she would be indicted before the law Cur
lev, however, espOused the cause Of the lat
ter and refused 20 send her away 1ester-
day warrants were sworn out against Cur
ley charging her with keeping a bawdy
house and selling liquors. The trial came
up before Justices Cassetty and Creighton.
She submitted her case and was fined - snd
costs. Claire swOTe out similar warrants
ssainat Taylor, and she was brought into
court, but waived an examination and gave
bond in the sum Of $500 for her appearance
before the Criminal Court. The suits
were eond ucted il a very lively manner, a
brace Of well known attorneys having been
employed on either side.

Our Chattanooga correspondent, "Jay
Tee" writes:
"The appointment Of Col. William N.
Bradford as the successor Of Chancellor
Key, although very unexpected, gives gen
eral satisfaction, Col. b. being Recognized
by the Bar as a man Of fine legal talent aud
attachments, and by the people generally,
as a gentleman of culture and refinement.
He enjoys great personal popularity. As
our Circuit Court begins the first Monday
in September, we viii soon have an opPor-
tunity of testing his ability as
judge.
Bill C-utchfeld says that he is now the
srbiggest man in Tennessee" He arrived al
that difficult conclusion by saying that
ANDY johnson, while living, was the great
est man, that Judge Key has been appoint
ed TO fill JOhnsOn's place and that he
(Crutchfeld) beat Key in the late con-
gressiOnal race, consequently he must be
the biggest man of the three, and Of course
the biggest man IN the State
