ELEVEN YEARS.

The present issue of the News
completes its eleventh year as the
servant Of the public In this
day OF journalistic mutations it is a
creditable thing to say Of Bristol
that it has sustained a paper for
this length Of time. But it will
not do for Bristol to assume that
her local press is Independent OF
financial tronblc. Since TIE great
monetary depression Of 1873 the
country newspaper press has had
tribulation which it could not now
again pass successfully through
We appeal to the people for a more
generous support than we have re
Gently had. The local press is a
public necessity. 1t is us much a
public institution as the School
system, and it has right to ask,
and it must have public aid in some
shape. 1t will not do to rely on
the journalistic itch which is flood
ing the country with an overdose
Of editorial pabulum to be spowod
up at short intervals for the relief
of the public stomach.
A town like Bristol needs an
old, established newspaper, school,
ed and trained in its service and
skilled in the work of its develops
mont. Very good here goes into
the twelfth year. Docs the public
want the Bristol News continued

THE NEW DISTRICT IN THE
COUNTY.

Judge Page has redistricicd the
upper end of the County 50 as to
create an additional district called
Holston. The territory lying be-
tween Walkers Mountain and the
Railroad has been taken from Salt
vile and added to Glade SPRING
The territory south Of Middle
Fork has been taken from Glade
Spring, and out of it the new Dis
trict has been created. SO that
now there are seven districts in the
county. This increases the power
of the County, in all Conventions,
onc-sixth. Instead of twelve dele
gates in the Abingdon Convention
tomorrow the County will have
/ fourteen. The old officers OF Glade
Spring become the officers fol
Hol5ton, and the following appoint,

THE President has determined
to take the advantage of the indis-
position of the people to impeach
him during the remainder Of his
term. The entire Nation would
prefer to bear with his outrages a
while longer rather than admit to
the world that the "Conquer Of the
Rebellion" is unworthy to govern
it. He makes the mistake Of re-
garding this as unbridlod license to
disregard both the law and the
Constitution. His latest and bold
est act is his declaration to Con-
grcss that he will withhold certain
appropriations ordered by that
body to be expended upon certain
rivers. 1t is evident that among
those he refers to are the appro~
priations for the improvement of
New and Holston rivers. He
ayows his intention Of using the
money so withheld to make good
certain ovcrieXpcnditurcs lie wish'
es to make in other departments.
Two thoughts occur to us. Gov,
Tilden is Thus shown to be right in
his recommendation of constitu-
tional amendment preventing APP
priations being transferred to dc,
partmcnts for which they were not
voted. Gov. Tilden is the man
now demonstrated to be necessi-
ty AS the President of the Union,
and his defeat cannot be permitted

THE WE EDITORIAL.

The Bristol NClCS insists that "wen
means the journal and not the editor.
Then the editor is the journal and not
himself.-RichmoHd Dispdtch.
Editorially the editor Is the
journal, unless there be moro than
one editor on the journal, in which
case the editors ARE the Journal
Instance the following from the
same number of the Dispatch
Italics ours
We would ask The State if its idea of
courtesy is satisfied when IL writes as
Il did concerning the Dispatch yester-
day, and says not word II let its
readers know that IL was engaged in a
controversy only with our local repor-
ter?
Here is plain, and we think, an
unavoidable admission that cdito-
torially it is the STATE that
"writos." Personally, every one
knows, it was Chamberlain who
did the writing.
Again the DIsPATcH says:
We said that the state was engaged
in n controversy "only with our local
reporter" and not with US.
In this controversy between the
STATE and the DIspAroH everything
said by the STATE is said under the
editorial "We." Yet the Dsr ArcH
in every instance says it is the
STATE (thc iournal) that speaks
and writes.
To sum up, the editor of the
STATE, in every instance, says WE
tell the Dispatch so and so, and
the Dispatch invariably replies that
the STATE says so and so.
Ergo the editorial "we" of the
State refers to that Journal aud not
the editor, and we take the Dis.
patch as the proof it.
1t should be borne in mind that
from the first we have said the odi-
torial wEmeans the journal and not
the individual who edits it, and we
instanccd the horrid habit of some
editors in saying "wo will preach
at --- on --- day" or "wo will
address the people of DE.
Take the first class dailies of the
world, such as the London TINES
or N. Y. HERALD. These are
conducted by board OF directors.

AT least we have so understood.
The writers are often mere literary
machines, and are told what sub
iects to write up and the manner
in which those subjects are to be
treated. They write those articles
under the editorial eve Is it
not plain flat the eve in such in-
stances means the journal and not
the irresponsible writers who are
paid for their work, and though
called the editors, are not a whit
responsible for what they may SC
write

EEON. W VI. TERRY.
Lettcr from Esqr. q. q. Campbell

TO the Voters Of the 9TH Congressional
District.
GENTLEMEN II would prove re-
creant 10 the better instincts of nv
nature We're | to fail to speak of the
peculiar services and distinguished
merits Of your present Representative
in Congress. Gen. William Terry. /
went to Washington in November last,
Tor the purpose of tlansacting some
business before Congress during its
sessions. | was there when it con-
yened on The lst Monday in December,
and | remained there until the day be-.
fore The adjournment OF that body. 49,
My business WIS o" such CLaTaCt.:
as to bring Inc often into contact with
our Representative, who at all times,
and under all circumstances, met me
as II gentleman who realized the fact
that his promotion to that high and
distinguished Office emenated from the
people Of his District, and that they
held just claims upon him for his very
best services, which he upon his part
most cheerfully rendered. General
Terry is an able Statesman and faith
full Representative, During the long
and protracted session Of Congress,
| covering space Of eight months and
| a few days he mover was out of his seat
in the House of Representatives except
for fouT or five days, when he visited
his family on leave OF absence, That
there are other gentlemen high in at
| tanments and worthy in character
aspiring to fill the Same distinguished
Office that he now ills with such
ability and credit to the district, no
one will doubt. There is no one who
has n higherapprcciation of the gem
| tlemen who are candidates before the
! District Convention to be held in
Abingdon on the pa day of August,
| than myself, But this is not q time
for changes. Rotation in office is very
pleasant to political aspirants, but a
! trial sound in Judgement with ex-
| perience is better safeguard to the
interest Of the people. The journals of
! the House of Representative will bear
me out in the assertions that Gen.
Terry has no superior among his
Democratic brethren rs a faithful and
Jealous worker.
Very respectfully,
CHAs. c. CAMPBELL.

Probably the largest crowd Of voters
that ever assembled i'm Goodson Dis
trict met at WalIncc's Switch last Sat
urday to nominate delegates to the
Abingdon Convention tomorrow and
to elect two members of the New
County Committee. a train had
been chartered by few individuals in
this town, and it soon become noisCd
abroad that none but those in sympa-
thy with the parties who had procured
it would be allowed passage thereon.
This was promptly set at rest before
the assembled crowd, by Col. Fulker-
son, who stated that he was authorized
by the parties to invite The entire
crowd aboard free Of expense. On
the arrival at WallGce's u very large
crowd from the country had already
assembled, and were awaiting the ar
rival Of the party from town to partici-
pate in the raising of The first
TILDEN AND HENDRICKS FLAG
in the county. The crowd Mt once as
sembled around thCpole, a magnificent
ninety foot one, mounted with n broom
10y way of significance, and calls were
made on the Editor Of this paper for
a speech. The day was exceedingly
hot and the speaker was brief for that
reason. At the conclusion Of his re-
marks, the handsome blue and white
flag was run to tue summit of the pole
aud given TO the winds amid the cheers
Of the assemblage.
Col. Fulkerson was then called fol
and made a speech both pointed and
amusing. Esqr. c. G. Campbell ap,
peared in response to calls and made 4
few remarks favorable to Gen. Terry
