THE SPEAKING LAST MONDAY

THE SPEAhLAG L1doL HOA'Dh1 :
Messrs. TAYLOR and Ingersoll, District
Electors for the First District, addressed
a Large and appreciative audience at the
Court House Monday. Our people seem
alive and interested by their presence
and close attention Mr.. Taylor led the
debate, and showed unmistakable ear
marks" of the ring of eloquence OF his
distinguished father, Hon. n. G. Tay Tor
He Iabored earnestly to prove that Til
den is thief, and unworthy the conf
dence of honest men-was a secessionist
in 1860, and that the late civil war was
not sectional but purely Democratic
war. The main issues of the present
canvass, the most important in the his
tory of our country, were entirely lgnor-
ed by Mr. Taylor. His greatest object
seemed to be to intensity the hate and
bitterness of the sectional war. One
thing can be said 10 Mr. Taylor's credit,
he never referred to the contemplate
charge of perjury against Mr.. Tilden,
made by parties who in 1614'75 praised
him for his integrity, honesty and sa-
gacity as a statesman; and we under
stand so far in the canvass he has never
made the charge. Inhis one hour speech,
Mr. Taylor attempted to crowd too
much matter, to be fully explained and
to crafty his audience. His neglect in
defending the charges of corruptions
against the leaders of the Radical party,
was commented on by many, who want
information.
Mr.. IngersoIPs speech was better ar
ranged, and delivered in an easy digni-
fed manner-lucid, earnest and telling.
His parody on Hoods lode to the shirt, "
was whitening and singing, and salts
fed all that the bloody shirt" was the
sole capital of the Hayes and Wheeler
party in the present canvass. His mas
terly defense of the Democratic party
and it its hOnOred standard bearer, was
peculiarly happy. His 1enunciation of
bayonet rule and carpet-bagism in the
the South, was bitter and forcible-that
the promises and pledges OF Radicalism
for peace was false. His charges of cor
ruption were full, and backed by evil
dence indisputable.
On the whole it was a "field-day" for /
Democracy. His beautiful eXhOrtation
for united action, filed with hope the
hearts of many Democratic breasts the
earnest determination to win inthe com
ing election, and perpetuate the glori-
Gus principles of free government.
At night, after the arrival OF the Bun
combe train, Messrs. w. Rule, of Knox
vile, and James White, of Hawkins,
who had spoken at Clifton, Cooke coun
ty, during the day, were called out by
by a respectable crowd. They spoke on
the street. Mr.. Rule spoke first, occupy
ing about Unity minutes, and hoped to
be able at some future lime to address
he people of this county. While re-
olied in his peculiar camp meeting style,
o the delight of the crowd. He puts in
leayy blows in the right place His de-
cription of the.Freedmen's B0nk swim
lie was terrible to the ears of the man
puIators Of the colored voters. His in
mitable manners and versatility of mat
er make him favorite with all.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22-The New
York Herald says the declaration of mar
tial law again in the South, is among
the new probabilities, and is now under
consideration, if the present state of af-
fairs become aggravated.
We copy the above from an ex-
change. 1t shows the desperate
straits into which the Republican
party have been and are being driv-
en-. In a time Of profound peace,
and without any reason TO justify it,
and in the face of the constitution of
the country Martial Law is TO be de-
clared, and whole section of the
country is to be placed without the
protection of law, and given over to
the mercy of Grants satraps. And
what for? What is the end to be
accomplished? What is the end
sought? There is but one possible
answer. Grant and his party have
determined that the voice Of the
people shall not control in the COM
ing Presidential election. They
know, that with q free election the
Republican party stands not ghost
of chance to succeed. They see
that the bloody shirt will not win.
They are convinced that the people
are so disgusted with the frauds and
thefts of Republican ottice.holders
that they are determined to Gust
that party. They can longer appeal
to the reasonable intelIigence-the
patriotism Of the people. These
are all against them. AS last des-
perate means. therefore they are de-
termined to appeal to their fears an
over awe the voters by the presence
of bayonets.
How fortunate at this critical hour
that there is n Sherman at The head
of the army, to say to his subordi-
mates, You will in no case interfere.
except to aid the civil authorities:
You will yourselves judge of the ne
cessity of rendering aid, and will
only reuder it when the officer ask
ing it exhibits a process in his
hands !"

We refer to the firm of Rowe q
Butt, wholesale and retail dealers in
Stoves. Tinware, etc. For years we
have watched the progress of this
house as il came steadily and per
sistently up from small and care
ful beginning to its present enviable
standing. The firm is now fully set
up in its magnificent new house on
Main street. nearly opposite the de-
pot. This structure is one OF the
largest. and without doubt, the best
constructed and finished business
house in Morristown. Like the firm
has done in building mp its business
and reputation, so it did in building
this house. 1t first went down to a
solid stone for a foundation; then,
with the best Of material, it raised
the structure, and without locking
back, or to the right or to the left !;
onward, was its motto, until its
building was finished in all its parts.
Stepping in, you will find the polite
head of the house at his desk. ready
to show you through the heavy stock
of goods. and to sell you anything
in his line as cheap as any house in
East Tennessee. Passing back
through the magnificent sales room,
you find a corps of employees, busy
as bees, engaged in the manufacture
of all manner of goods in their line,
and turning out large amounts of
work every day, in the highest style
of the trade. We understand that
one of the firm is going East in a

arrangements with Eastern houses
for constant supplies of goods in

of which Morristown may we'll be
proud, is the house of Rowe & Butt.

A MIDNIGHT EXPERIENCE.
Funny EScapade of a Distinguished Lawyer
Who Came Home Late.

A very laughable incident took place
In the experience of a distinguished law
yer and ex.city official few nights ago,
and he has enjoye many hearty laughs
telling it, probably he will not object to
seeing it in print. He started from his
home in New York one morning last
week, for Philadelphia, informing his
family that he might OR might not be
back the same night, but cautioning them
to leave the front door unbolted SO he
could enter with his night key. During
the day his wife's cousins, young lady
and her brother, came to the city, and
were invited to stay all night. After
waiting for her liege lord until midnight
the wife retired, and took her lady Cous-
in into her own room, and the young man
was assigned one of the spare rooms
Fearing that her husband might return
before morning, she locked the door and
pasted piece of paper under the second
hall gas, requesting him not to enter her
room as she had another bedfellow. The
lawyer returned about / a. ra., and quiet
ly entered the house. He failed to see
the notice, but, by back entrance, he
got into his wife's apartment, and pro-
ceeded to disrobe. Ere he had half fin
ished the cousin awoke, and, as the light
was dim, she suspected burglar and
screamed. The wife awoke, and as the
husband, seeing strange woman in his
own bed, retired to the rear of the house,
the suspicious Of a burglars presence
was confirmed. She turned on q burglar
alarm, and raised the window and called
for help, The lawyer was half eonsum-
ed with laughter when the righteousness
of the situation flashed across his mind,
and he essayed to pour oil on the troub-
led waters. In this he succeeded inside
the house, but ontside there was con u

BRENIzER CONFESSES TO ROB
BING THE AKRON EXPRESS OF
FICE.

Many of our readers remember the
robbery Of the Express Office at Akron
last spring, In which SIS 900 Yves abstract
ed from the safe. A young man by the
name of San Jose Brenizer, and whose
parents live in Smitbyile, Wayne coun-
ty, was arrested and tried for the rob-
berry, but his previous good character,
together with public sympathy and
lack Of sufficient evidence, influenced the
jury to acquit him of the charge. After
his acquittal, Brenizer concluded to leave
the country and 90 West, and with por-
ton of his ill-gOtten gains in his posses
zion he started on his western trip
While yet in Cleveland he entered the
the office of the Attorney who defended
him in his trial, and drawing large roll
of money from his pocket, threw it down
on the table with the following remark
II can't keep this any longer; / am going
West and am determined to IefOrm.--
The attorney was dumbfounded at this
revelation, as he had thought himself
that his client was entirely innocent of
the charge for which he had been tried.
The roll of money was examined, and
found to contain about $2,700 besides
some other valuables. Brenizer il the
meantime had left the attorneys office
and proceeded on his westward trip. At
Chicago he attended me of Moody and
SANKEY'S meetings, and there, strange to
relate, made confession, stating that he
wanted to become a christian. But the
thought of having to come back, and tell
his parents that he was guilty was terri
BILE to contemplate, but on Thanksgiving
day he was at home, and in the-presence
of his father and mother, brother and
sister, made the confession. On the 9th
inst, young Brenizer appeared in the
Common Pleas Court Of Summit county,
and plead guilty to the charge Of perjury
for which he was sentenced to three
years in the penitentiary.
