at So 400, an average of 400 for each mill

increased 10 800, 900 in 1890, and 1000

The Presidents Des MONIES Speech.

The January number of the Catholic
World contains a remarkable article upon
President Grants speech at Des Moines
Iowa, at the Convention of the Army Of
the Tennessee, on September 20. II pro-
fesses TO find that all Grant said of the reia.
lions of Church and State and Of the con
test which he predicted might occur be-
tween patriotism and intelligence on the
one side, and superstition, ambition and tx.
nOrance on the other" is in perfect accord
with the teachings Of CAtholicism. The
speech expresses" says the Catholic World,
better than many imagine the common
sentiments Of the American people" and of
Grant it declares, ''all must admit that he
is a true American, formed and moulded by
the events in which he has moved, and
truly representing The country and the
times" II afirms that ifGrants recommen-
datiOns in the speech are adopted the
Church will be content The article Is very
ably written, and the process Of reasoning
by which the President is made 10 appear
the champion Of the Roman Catholic
theory Of the common school system Is
really ingenious. But whether the Presi-
dent will accept this argument as the true
Interpretation Of bis speech Is an interest
ing question

Our Politics.

In the future, as in the past, we expect to
wage a ceasing war on the corruptions of
the Democratic party. We do this because we
believe that party is not fit to hold the reins Of
Government in this Land of the Free and Home
of the Brave" We advocate the principles of
the Republican party, because we believe they
are right. We expect to stand by our party and
to work vigorously for its success.
While We do this our eyes are not closed to
the possibility of corruption in four own ranks
Wherever we believe it exists we will strike it
boldly and fearlessly. We will. at all times and
upon all occasions" cry aloud and spare not"
Neither do we expect to consult dictionaries for
soft words we intend to call things by their
right names. fla man is thief. we will cal
him thief. Ifhe is a scoundrel, we will emphat-
ically denounce him as such. If be is a dema-
goEue. we will SO denpminate him. If he is a vii
lain. we will not shield him,

SEvIERvILLE, TENN, Dec. is, '75.
To the Editors Of the Chronicle:
The first session of Prof. CARROTS
school in Sevierville closed on the 18th
instant, with very interesting exercises
at night OF reading compositions and
speaking by the pupils.
AS your correspondent was going
home from the exhibition, on passing
the house of the late Mr.. A. NJ. Cham
bers was called to by his son, who
informed me that there was drunk
man close by who had been calling for
help, but a. he and his grandmother
were all the persons at home he felt
unwilling TO go to his assistance. He
procured a large pine knot and we pro-
ceeded to where he heard the noise,
and found man lying in the road
sound asleep. This was on Friday
night, the coolest night Of the season.
We succeeded III carrying and drag
ging him to the house, and 1t was
something like an hour before we could
get him aroused sufficiently to speak
or even know anything. The clock
struck nine as we took him into the
house-he had been lying in the road
from about dark up to that hour, and
it is thought by some that in another
hour so exposed he would have died.
He was a stranger in the neighbor-
hood and gave three different names,
Braun, Walten, and another name
do not remember now. He said he got
his whisky at Mr.. J. S. Ford's. This
should be warning to all who drink
not to get drunk at such cold time.
Mr.. Tillmau Fox raised one turnip
this season which measured "a inches
and weighed pounds.
We notice the Outlook has come out
at last in favor of IA pike road from
Knoxville to Sevierville, just what the
CHRONICLE has been for all the time.
Surely If both newspapers will use
their influence they will get the peo-
pie stirred up after awhile. l am sure
it is badly needed, and i think the
people of Sewer should hold a public
meeting soOn-ssy the first Monday in
January-and take some steps in the
right direction. Hope Mr.. Charlton
will speak out, together with all the
Knoxville papers. SEWER.

FIELD AND FARM.

A herdsman named M. PLAT is celebra-
ted in the north of France for an excellent
variety of sheep known as "Brebieres, T"
formed by the Dishley and a cross Merino
breed, which be maintains by careful selec-
tons and crossings. The lambs at their
birth weigh from nine to twelve pounds,
and, like their mothers, are objects of stud
led care in the matter of good feeding.
When six weeks old the tails of the lambs
are amputated, and in march castrstion
takes place. The weaving is effected grad
uslly and it is in the happy selection of
lambs to be retained as rams, that NJ. PLAT
excels. With the males, the permanent
teeth commence TO show between the
twelfth and thirteenth month, the animal is
adult at thirty months. For fattening, he
selects the animal having the chest broad
and deep, eye lively, head small, forehead
broad, hind quarter well developed, bones
small, skin fine and supple. During the
fattening, absolute tranquility, demi.ob-
security, and regularity of feeding are OBJ
served,

ElItorld the lnssllIgencrE
One day last week son Of Richard
Kennedy committed suicide BY hanging
himself The boy was about fourteen
years Of age. No cause for committing
the act is known, but it is supposed thai
he took Ofense at q scolding he received
from his father, that caused him to do
the deed.
We understand that he had threatened
taking his life heretofore. The deed is
supposed TO have been committed between
four and five o'clock r. N.
After the boy was missed some time, a
search was instituted and proved fruitless
until about midnight, when he was found
suspended from limb Of o tree, dead.
He accomplished the job by fastening
one end Of a strap around his neck, and
the other to beech limb and jumping
from small cliff Of rocks.
The body was left as found until about
eight O'Clock next morning, when an in.
quest was held over the body, and 1t was
then cut down and removed to his fathers

you We'll know, are longing to see
floods ol unfading glory tossing for
aye their golden crested pillows
around the fai. name of Minnesota,
by reason Of the election of Judge
Mcmillan. man whose character is
as pure as the spotless, judicial Ell
mine, that rests. without receiving the
suspicion ola stain uponhis shoulders.
Nov Chas. Bosworth arises to
explain anddeclares that he will swear
that he was offered money to vote
for Davis, but that he does not think
Davis knew anything of the matter.
Those pure minded men, little
hatchet" statesmen, Ramsey am: Da-
Wis, who live in an imaginary (alas
that it is imaginary,) halo cf honor
and purity fai above the h4ads of
common mortals, seem to be cursed
with low, groveling, impure friends,
who are seriously deficient in *cir-
cumspection. Why do not our
more sordid representatives coming
up fresh from the people throw ove.t
these exalted men. possessing vi
sionary ideas of honor, and take up a
man of less lofty pretentions, like
Judge Mcmillan, for instance?
