The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1875-09-15

~ Mr.. Josephus Sooy, Republi-
can Treasurer of New Jersey, who
has recently defaulted to the extent
of nearly 100000, was found in
Philadelphia on Sunday indulging in
a terrible debauch in house of i'll
fame of the lowest kind. Sooy was
one Of those earnest" deeply pious
men of the Radical party, who bab-
ble a great deal about higher law
and all that sort of thing. He is the
son of a Methodist minister, and was
himself a member of that church
and at one time a bright and shining
light. For the last few years, how
ever, his light has cleaned for the
Republican party, and although a
Union Lacquer and an ardent sup.
porter of President Grant, the asso-
citation does not seem to have been
good for his morals. His pocket was
entirely too capacious.

Buy Small Trees.

Thea verage Americanis in great
hurry to realize on his investments.
If he orders a few garden seeds in
January he is anxious to have them
sent Immediately; and if he forwards
six cents for copy of some paper
which contains story of which he
has read or heard he does not for
get to request the publisher to send
it ''by return mail" Patience which
takes the form of quiet waiting is a
virtue of which he seems to be who'll
Iy ignorant. He can not wait the
progress OF events, but must con-
stantly hurry and fret in order to
make nature move a little faster
than her wonCed pace.
This tendency stands out very plain
ly when he purchs ses trees. He finds
them described in the catalogue as
second Glass; medium first
class and "extra." The difference
in these classes is principally, if not
wholly, in the size and height of
the trees. The larger the tree the
higher the price-but the farmer
''don't care any thing about that"
He wants ''good trees or none," and
gives his orders for those OF extra
size and which are four or five years
old. In doing this he thinks he is
acting wisely, but the nurseryman
knows, aud the farmers will find be.
fore long that with equal care. the
small trees grow faster and If q
fruit tree, come into bearing condi-
ton sooner than the larger one.
In half dozen years the tree that
was small when planted will be lar
ger and finer than the other. The
reason for this is obvious. The
larger the roots which it has and the
larger the roots the less fibers there
will be upon them. A tree that has
plenty of fibrous roots will grow
readily if proper care is used in
transplanting; but no amount OF
skill can coax q tree to live and
flourish which is destitute of these
little fibers. The roots of large trees
are all more or less mutilated in
the process of taking up, while the
small trees sustain little injury from
this source. Dealers in trees assert
that experienced men buy small,
thrifty trees, while those who are
just starting are anxious for the
largest ones to be had. Those who
are to set trees the coming season
will do well to learn from the expe-
rienee of those who at considerable
loss to themselves, have demonstrate
ed that small trees are the ones to
buy.

Bloody Riot Between Whites and
Negroes at Clinton.

VICKsBURG, Sept. 6.-An extra
edition of the Herald gives the fol-
lowing account Of the disturbance at
Clinton:
The origin and particulars Of the
riot at Clinton on Saturday evening
have been variously stated. After
hearing all the statements we think
the following is about correct: There
is law prohibiting the sale of liquor
in Clinton. Some young men from
Raymond brought bottle with them.
and while the speaking was going on
Martin Sydney and some of his
friends went short distance to take
a drink. The colored Marshal FOR
the occasion approached them and
forbade their drinking. This order
was not regarded, and when the Mar
shal attempted to take the bottle out
of Sydney's hand, Sydney struck him
over the head with it. Senator Cald-
well, colored, started to settle the
difficulty and was followed by some
20 negroes whom he ordered back,
but about 100 more came rushing on.
Some one fired a shot, which was fol-
lowed by a general firing and stam-
pede. Sydney fred all the barrels
of his pistol and the negroes then de-
manded his surrender. He surren-
dered and gave up his pistol, after
which he was shot and his brains
knocked out. He was then robbed
of his clothing, and finger was cut
off in order to get his ring. The in
fnriated mob found Charles Chiffon
in his yard, and shot and killed him
in the presence of his family. Frank
Thomson, promising young law
yer, was shot from his horse a mile
and half from the scene of the con-
fict, and after falling, the savages
drove their knives into his body in
many places. John Neal was fatally
shot in the left lung, in the town. and
Waddy Rice seriously in the hand.
Four negroes were found on the field,
and two mortally wounded six addi-
tional negroes have died about Clin-
ton since. The white men of Clinton
were organized at once for self pro-
lection, under Col. Harding, and tel
egrams were sent here for assistance.
Fifteen minutes after the receipt of
the first despatch, $50 men were
ready to march, and took special
train, which reached Clinton at z
O'Clock. About 10 o'clock more rein
forcements came from jackson. The
roads were picketed during the night.
but all danger being apparently over.
most of the citizens retired to their
homes at Vicksburg, leaving 80 men
on guard under Capt. w. H. An
drews. Capt. Andrews returned with
the men this morning, and reports
all is now quiet at Clinton and Ed
wards. The train from Jackson Sat.
urday night, with reinforcements for
Clinton, was fired into from the sides
of the road and distractions were
placed upon the track.

BeecIler.
From the New York Sun !.

Mr.. Beecher has conducted him.
self since his trial in manner SO
offensive TO decency so inconsistent
with his sacred calling and so out
of relation to the character he claims
for himself and his partisans ask the
public to believe is his, that We are
not surprised to hear startling re.
ports as to the actions. The follow.
ing however from the White Noun.
tain correspondence of the Express.
is almost too disgraceful for be-
lief:
"The Beecher excitement is quite
died out. At Inst there was a great
rush to see him, and hear him but
how the fun is, over, and last Sun.
day his entire audience did not ex.
ceed 1000 people. He is to return
to Brooklyn this week much to the
displeasure of the Barrons, who
keep the hotel where he is staying.
They have given him his board and
$50 week to stay and preach al
their house. He thinks they are
making too much money out of him
and demands that they pay him
5000 a week. The Barrons say
this is too much, and Beecher says,
All right gentlemen, l go home this
week. If you do, we will sue you
for breach of contract; for. Mr..
Beecher, you agreed TO stay till the
third Sunday in September. !" Beech,
or coolly replies, Sue away if you
like. should think after what you
have seen of my success in the law
busines that you would know better
than to undertake suit against me-
The Barrons are furious. They say
they have done everything for Beech
er that they defended him in the
newspapers, and have petted him
always. But they can't help them.
selves. When Mr.. Beecher makes
up his mind to go. he will start if q
whole regiment opposes"
The previous report that Mr.
Beecher was a deadhead at the
Twin Mountain House paying his
way by exhibiting himself there
was discreditable enough; but the
above is an outrage to honor and
decency that we are not able to be,
lieve even of Mr.. Beecher.

An independent Farmer.

1t is always a pleasure for us to
give the experience of the success
ful farmer, in the hope that it will
incite a spirit in others to profit
thereby. The Hayneville (Ala.) Err
anainer gives this account of one
Rufus G. Davidson, a farmer Of Will
cox county. in that State:
"The war 4eft Mr.. d. like the
greater number of planters, with his
tract of land. He says he has made
money on his plantation operations
every year since the war. Did you
make any in '73" Yes, l made q
little that year. He has never
bought but 40 bushels Of corn in his
life, and that be afterwards found he
could have done without. He Gays
he is so surrounded with thieves that
he cannot we'll raise his meat, but he
expects to kill 20 hogs this winter !;
and he has managed TO use on his

ALL ABOUT A WOMAN.
A Battle on the Prairie.

A terrible affair occurred near
Dallas, Texas. on Saturday of last
week. About twenty wagons met
on she prairie en- route for Dallas.
They combined into one train and
camped together. In the train was
young widow, who in her manner
was sociable in the extreme. A
man who had joined the train from
some quarter, began paying his de-
vOtions TO her, which she rather en-
couraged. He pushed his suit with
vigor, and finally made certain adj
vances which she resented; and in
formed one Of her admirers of the
insult put upon her. He immedi-
ately took up her cause and called
upon the offending party, who ac-
knowledged the fact. An apology
was demanded and refused, and a
fight determined on. The mail
members of the train divided into
three parties. One favored the
lady's cause, another the offending
party. while the third advocated
peaceful measures and sought to re-
concile matters. Finding this to be
impossible, the peaceful party pull
ed up stakes and left, determined to
take no hand in the affair. They
had not proceeded far when the
sound of pistol shots, in rapid sue
cession. was heard, accompanied by
shrill screams of woman. The bat
tie had begun. Both the remaining
parties had taken up arms in sup
port of their companions. and fought
to the bitter end. The fight was
furious, but after a time the plead
ing of the woman separated the
combatants. but not until three men
were mortally wounded, and several
others dangerously. About fifteen
men were engaged in the affray.-

Health of Farmers.

The Massachusetts board Of health
Is out with its fourth annual report,
in which is to be found an interest
ing paper on the longevity Of the
farmers life. 1t says the evidence
collected from country physicians
throughout the State for the last
twenty-eight years, shows that tho
average length of the life of farm
er in That State, is So and fourth
years. This is much longer than
that of any other class of citizens.
The class most nearly approaching
farmers, viz, outdoor mechanics,
live only 81 and a half years on an
average.
The almost unanimous belief Of
those physicians and the compiler OF
the paper is, that farmers might live
much longer than they do, by exer.
cising more care in choosing, cook
ing and eating their food. in avoid
ing overwork and exposure to change
of weather, and the use of foul drink
ing water. Their food consists too
much Of pork. pies and saleratus
bread and cakes. The cookery is
bad, and meals arc eaten too quickly
for good digestion, when work hur-
ries. More vegetables and fruit
should be eaten, and more resttaken.
More cleanliness as regards out
houses, and more care TO avoid leav-
ing cess-pools, sinks, ETC., nearer 10
