Last Saturday night was a jolly one
in old Winchester. The confirmation
of the glorious news that the Demo
Gratis had elected Tildcn and Hendricks
svread like fire in a sedge-grass field,
and it was but natural that a little jolli
ication was at once agreed upon in or
der to show our fealtv to the cause Of
Reform and Honest Government. An
informal meeting was held at the
Courthouse, and q committee, consist
ing of Messrs. Scott Davis, j. II. Mar
tin and W. J. Slater, appointed to
make suitable arrangements. Tom ID.
Gregory was appointed Chief Marshal,
and the above. named gentlemen APP
pointed assistants. A large number
of transparencies were hastily made
and the order Of procession agreed up
on. Soon after dark the people began
to assemble upon the Square, which
was lit up with candles upon every
post of our circular Courthouse iehc
ing, and several tar-barrels were
belching forth lusty flames OF light as
ifthe occasion were one COR especial
rejoicing. Ever and anon a big gun
would drown the weaker efforts OF
small euus and ire-crackers, n the
shouts of the multitude were echoed by
the heavens far and wide. After some
little hurrying to and fro OF numerous
officers and others OF horseback, or
ders to form into column Of two and
two were gwen. Next came orders to
march, with fife and lrum, and transpa
rencies upon which were emolaSoheo
all sorts of notices expressive OF love
for the Union and the Constitution Ior
Freedom and Equality, and condemna
tory of Grantisn and Bayonet kule'
About 600 people joined in the process
sion, which was a very long one,
reaching from the Square to an"
around Mary Sharp College, up to
Mrs. Walmsley's. After marching
throuooh the principal streets, anu re
ceiving Cheers from hundreds OF lanleS
and gentlemen gathered upon the Oa!

Editor Home journal;
Knowing that you desire the local
news OF our county, We will give you
u few dots from this meek of the

The quiet old 18th Is still moving
along as smoothly as ever, uotwith,
standing we are himlull Of the glad
tldings ofthe great Democratic viclo-
ry. We voted solid for Samuel j,
with the exception Of four colored
votes that were cast for Hayes.
Owing to the dry weather, We hear
some complaint about n bad stand OF
wheat, | think we have a little over
an average crop sown.
| think our worthy neighGor, j. II.
Brozclton, can, with propriety, boast
of having the largest hog in the coun-
~, Spectators say he will weigh 800
pounds, Who can beat itY
Mr.. NJ. N. Mathews and j. C. vii.
liams have returned from Texas, and
can talk Texas With sense. And we
would sugges. that those who are
troubled with the Texas fever would
perhaps profit by an interview with
these worthy and sensible gentlemen.
We hsSc had II splendid school,
taught by Mr.. A, +, Handy, who has
advanced our children rapidly, and to
the entire satisfaction of all the pat
rons; aud we chgertulIy recommend
him as a worthy gentleman and u good

Gy The L~ynchburg Sentinel says
there vas not a single white man who
voted the Radical ticket in Lynchburg
at The late election. We'll, there was
only one white man who voted such a
ticket at the late election in Winches-
ter. He had a right to do so, but he
must have felt very lonesome. And
the election of the Democratic ticket
must surely make him feel still lone

ES- 1t appears that the negroes in
Winchester and vicinity are well or
g%anizcd upon the "color linc,' and are
determined that no colored person
shall vote the Democratic ticket. The

o devoted to Radicalism than to the

GS- The Radicnls both North and
South have seemed to take II delight
in charging that when any Southern
State went Democratic it was because
OF mhmidohon-lhat the colorcd peo.
pie were afraid to vote their senti.
mcnts, Now, this charge is entirely
false. 1t may be that n Democrat to
whom some former slave is indebted
for u livelihood aud thousands of
kindnesscs, tells him that if he chooses
to vote 50 and 50 it would be ingrati-
tude, and that h. will no longer EN-
ploy him, &c. There Is nothing wrong
about this, for we have n right to EN-
ploy whom We please, and the laborcr
has n right to work or not, The man
ulacturers in the North exercise far
more authority over their white ser
wants in this respect than the Southern
people do over their black servants.
But to prove that this charge Of intim
idation is only a Radical trick, we
would state that this county Of Frank
lin ia the strongest Democratic county,
we believe, in Tennessee, As we have
said elsewhere, only one white man 10
Winchester, where about 400 votes
were polled, voted the Radical ticket.
There were 81 Radical votes polled,
however, OF course &C of these were
negroes, No one inundated them
They were free, and they acted as they
in voting, and We give their
names below merely to show that they
can be applied to, if necessary, by the
Mortous aud Blaincs of the North

ONE OF THE CONTROLLERS POWERS.

In the suit OF Charles II. Hartman against
the City, Chief Justice Daily Of the Court OF Common
Pleas reafrs decision OF his court that In every kind
f claim against the city the claimant must present his
claim 10 the Controller and give him 30 days in which TO
decide whether or he will pay II, before beginning
suit In this ease the plaintiff driving up Lexington
ave- fen into an unguarded excavation, injuryng his
horse and coupe the extent OF $3.50 One OF the an
sWers of the city wa that the claim not presented to
the Controller 80 days before tho suit brought and
the plauf demurred TO this answer. IL was conceded
l,v him that the law requires any claim a contract
where the amount due be determined by mere cal
cnlotion TO be submitted to the Controller with 30 days
10 consider II before sui could be brought. But the
ruIe WAS wholly otherwise where the question of
damages technically Of tort here the machinery OF the
Controllers Office would be wholly at fault. Since the
first decision OF the Court of Pleas two decisions
had been made by the Court Of Appeals In arising
I'm other counties ny wing similar questions, where that
Court mad decided that the provision that claims must
b. first presented 20 the fiscal officer, applied only TO
claims arising out OF contract ana not 10 actoS IOr
