THAT BARBECUE.

Why not have an immense barbecue
someWhe ere in East Tennessee? We are
not particular where. We could name
anv point from Chattanooga up to BriS-
toll But, by all means, let us have the
barbecue-a grand old fashioned one
like we used to have in the good old
davs of Harrison, when Senator Brown
low rode through the streets of Knox
Vile on a wagon, eating coon skins. We
can get any number of beeves, pigs,
chickens, turkeys, etc. No use to phi
IOsophize on the effects such an occasion
would have on the public mind. 1t
would arouse the masses from Hamilton
to johnson and swell the vote of all our
candidates enormously.
Will the press of East Tennessee speak
out on the subject? What say you,
brethren of the quill? Are you in favor
of such a move? If so, let as hear from
YOU. We have no doubt but that any
number of able speakers can be procur-
ed. Speak out-RnOrUtl1e Age.
Thank you. brother Charlton, for
the happy thought! BY all means.
let us have the barbecue And for
many reasons we nominate Morris
town as the place. Let US hear from
the press and people, as to the bar
becue and the place.

MINE ELEOTY0N.

A special TO the Boston AdVertiser SAYS:
''The Republicans have swept every
Congressional district Thomas B. Reed
is elected In the first district by 1000
majority. VIM. +. Frye in the second
district by about 1900; Stephen ID.
Lindsay in the third district by about
., 500 majority; Llewellyn Paine in the
fourth district by about 2, 900, and Eu-
gene Hale in the fifth district by about
2, 5OO."
The above Is the Boosting claim of the
Republicans in Maine. Frye and Hale
are old members-were elected in 1872
and 1874, and In those elections James
G. Blaine was also elected. The Con-
gressional aggregate majority of 1879
was Is. 1893; of 1874 it was 1878, and
now the highest claimed II, 900. Now
let us see the majorities of some of the
distinguished men of Maine-those who
have made themselves conspicuous.
Take Blaine's district, in 1872 it was
8, 568, in 1874, 1850 for Blaine; now
$500 is claimed for Lindsay Majority
for Frye in 1872, 4,O95, in 1874, 2,415, in
1876, 1000. For Eugene Hale i'm 1872,
1890, in 1874, 2,469, in 1875 claimed
$500. Now, after Mr.. Blaine's perse-
cution, and excitement and canvass, and
the proceedings of Frye and Hale, how
does this claim of II 900 show for vic
tory?-L ypch6urg Ne,es.

He made very much the same speech he
has heretofore made at various points.
He insisted that a twenty cent tax is
enough to pay current expenses, and
that we ought to pay no interest now.
He said he was forced to become q can

ton was run the interest of a ring and in
disregard to the wishes of the masses.
This was the burden of his speech.
His reply to Porter's showing up of his

he was bought up or brought out by

his race had been totally disregarded by
the Nashville Republican Convention.
He discussed these interests at length.
He opposed Thomas twenty cent doc

THE GREENEHIELB CONVENTION
1t is scarcely necessary for US to
say to the readers of the GAZETTE,
that the Congressional Convention
which assembled at Greeneville,
Tennessee on the 18th inst, to NOM
mate a Democratic candidate for
Congress in the First District, nomi-
mated Hon. VIM. Mcfarland by ac-
clamation. If the Convention had
done anything else than this, it
would have been bIunder, as well
as a surprise to every reading man
in the State.
Such is the hold that Judge Nc
Farland has upon the confidence and
affections of the people that had ev-
cry Democrat in the district been at
the Convention ASA delegate, the re-
suit would doubtless have been the
same, a nomination by reclamation.
This is only the precursor of the
overwhelming victory that awaits
him in November.
Having nominated the standard
bearer for Congress, the next bust
ness in order was the appointment
or nomination of candidate for
District Elector. In this matter there
was also the utmost harmony. The
Hon. II. II. Ingersoll, of Greene
county, was nominated on the first
ballot. Hon. James White, of Haw-
kins, with his usual gallantry, ten
dered his services in this behalf but
when the honor and labor Of thee
yass were cast upon another, Col.
White heartily acquiesced, and in
one of the best campaign speeches
we have listened to, gave the Com
vention assurance that his voice
should be heard whenever and where
yer work for the party and for the
right should be needed. So MARCHES

A DISPUTED WILL.-The will of the late
Charles M. Davis was contested before Judge
Cleaves of the Probate Court, yesterday. The
contestants claim that the deceased was not Of
sound mind at the time of the execution of the
will just before his death in January. In the
testimony it appeared that Capt Davis execut-
ed will in 1873, but during his last sickness,
made the one offered for probate, wherein he
reduced the legacies to his sister and grand
children, giving the most Of his property to his
wife. This will was witnessed by George A.
Wright, Esq, Capt. Albert Marwick and Mrs.
Prince, the sister of Mrs Davis, all of whom
testified to the sanity of the testator The
court decided that the testator was competent
to dispose of his property by will, that this
will was properly executed. and that was no
evidence that his wife exercised, or attempted
to exercise, any improper influence upon her
husband in the disposition of his estate, and
admitted The will TO probate.

THE WRECK OF THE HATTIE EAToN-Mr.
Mitchell, who resides near the scene of the
wreck (Kittery, Me-, was the only person who
saw the vessel strike. Capt. Cook steered for
the smoothest place he coulf find, and came
within one hundred feet of smooth beach,
The Eaton struck stem on, about her length
from the shore, and was wedged between two
rocks, her stern being free. Three cologej sea-
men were below badly rostbtten, and the
mate was in the forecastle with a disocated
shoulder. Capt. Cook went into the rigging
and as the brig listed ran out on the boom.
Mr.. Mitchell ran from the shore to a ledge, and
the two men were but eight feet apart though
there was raging gu'f between. Capt Cook
sent farewell messages to his friends and gave
particulars regarding his vessel and cargo. A
sea lifted the vessel and plunged the boom he
was on far beneath the waves and be was not
seen afterwards. The same wave dashed Mr..
Mitchell backward behind the ledge into the
water, but there being no undertOw he scrambled
ashore. Other men came down to the shore,
and hand in hand rushed to the bows OF the
Eaton and aboard seized mate LeBaron and
rescued him just as wave lifted the stern,
broke the timbers short off and doubled the
stern over upon the bow, crushing the second
mate ana the rest OF the crew, except one stall
