grievance which he complains of is the employ
ment upon city work (according to his represent
tatons) of persons who are not citizens and tax
payers to the exclusive to those who are. He
seemed also to think that the chairman Of the
Water Committee should bo personally acquaint-
ed with the 200 employees Of that department,
and that it should be his especial duty to ascer-
tain the circumstances of each employee How
would it do to keep a sort of family record in the

Our roads are in a miserable cOndi-
ton. 1t is almost impossible for teams
drawing loaded wagons 10 get to town.
We hope that strangers will not visit
our county while the roads are in such
a miserable condition, as we know
they would become Disguised and
never return again. There are large
number of farms for sale in thi- couns
ty, but no one who has been used to
good roads, would ever think of ma
king purchase here now.-JOnes6OTO
Herald and Tribune.
This is the cry from every point IN
East Tennessee. Yesterday we were
conveTsing with q gentleman from
Morgan county, aud he assured Us it
was almost impossible for team TO
draw a loaded wagon between Clinton
ana Wartburg, and that he passed
loaded wagons which for days have
been mired in the mud up 10 their
beds, the horses having been taken
out, as 1t was impossible for them to
move the vehicles. And 50 il is every
where i'm East Tennessee, where there
il a considerable amount of travel We
do hope that the Legislature will de-
wise some means 10 relieve Us in this
respect. Good roads would help the
business Of East Tennessee wonder
fully, aud would prove a strong immi,
grafton document.
