LETTER FROM KNOX COUNTY
Nd TIERS THERE
HILLSIDE OF KNOX COUNTY,
Ir1lu II 1875
e Editor Of the Morristown Gazette:

July 81, 1876.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
We are burning with the heat of stold
Sol'' and of political excitement. The
''polar wave" did not last long enough
to keep down that greed for office which
begets lying and thereby exposes the
moral depravity belonging to the genus
homo. We have some bipeds amongst
us that consider all things fair in cleo
ton times, from the buying of votes up
to telling lies to the injury of their OPP
ponents. The canvass in this county
was conducted quietly until within the
last few days, when a stmale's nest' was
found and such a hubhub raised as will
consign its authors to the shades of in
fanny. Our present Sheriff is very
clever, self made man. and has perform
ed his duties IN very genteel manner,
much to the regret and modification of
his predecessor and some pretended Dem
ocrats, who care less for Democratic sue
cess than they do for their own lucrative
gains. Be the result of the election what
it may, the A9e has affixed stigma to
It's good name that will take years Of
contrition and good service to wipe out
This county has had enough of Radi-
calism to convince a reasonable people
that it will not do to trust to it longer.
But we have a mass of voters who can
neither read nor write, and they are gen
orally arrayed upon the side of the Rad
icals, hence no man can tell with GER
tainty, beforehand, whut the result will
be- If we but appreciate the import
ance Of having good, true and honest
public servants elected, Swan and And
erson will surely triumph. We tried
Harris, Tarwater and Mynatt, and what
did this trio of Radicals bring US? Why,
defalcation to a heavy amount, and the
tax payers have to suffer thereby
Reform is demanded in both State and
National affairs. Let us be true to our
selves, to God and our native land and
keep the thieves and swindlers out of
office. Tilden and Hendricks are great
reformers and will triumph over the cor
rupt party now opposing them. Keep
the record of Tilden and Hendricks be-
fore your readers and the honest Repub-
iicans will support them. Keep the
record of the Republican party, for the
last seven years before your readers and
the rout of the latter will be overwhelm-
ing.
Governor Porter ought to be re-nomi-
mated and trIumphantly elected.
Dorsey B. Thomas has let himself
down in the estimation of the public, by
trying to build up party in hostility to
the good old Democratic party, whose
record shows. economy and cheap gov

Our farmers are preparing to sow a
large crop of wheat, despite the bad re-
suit of the late harvest and the low pri-
ces paid for it now.
Immigration does not pour in upon US
with that speed which real estate agents
desire; but as fast as healthy condition
of the country will allow. If we had
large immigration, we should have in
flation of real estate to prices which
would upset economy, let US be con-
tented with natural increase, without
resorting to extraordinary means for
that object. Yours truly,

A LAST WORD!

The best. information we have indi-
Gates the election, next Thursday, of
John A. Mckinney as Judge of the First
and J. G. Rose as Judge of the Second
Judicial Districts. AS a general thing
the people are too careless and inconsid-
crate in the choice of their judicial Off
GERS. 1t is to the most of them the most
important branch of the government.
Rose and Mckinney are endorsed by
the bar as able and learned lawyers and
their purity of character is unimpeach-
able. Are the lovers of a pure and COM
petent Judiciary prepared for the battle
next Thursday? 1t is time they should
arouse in earnest. Let the old men and
the young rally! Rally from every hill
rally from every vale-rally from the
workshops-rally from the felds-rally
from the firesides! Go to the polls and
vote yourself, and if neighbOr or
friend is missing, go after him. Do any
thing fair and honorable to secure the
election of pure and competent men to
preside over the judicial interests of
your districts. And these virtues you
will find pre-eminent in the persons
of J. G. Rose and John A. Mckinney

4 PorENT ARGUMENT.

One of the most potent arguments
advanced by Judge Butler when ask
ing the suf'rages of sur people for
Congress was, that he being Re-
publican, could do more for the Dis
trict with a Republican Congress
than any Democrat. 1t was the
means of controlling the votes of q
very large number of Democrats
who had claims against the Govern
ment. That argument can now be
applied with real force to Republi-
cans as a reason why they should
support Judge Mcfarland. Buffers
we're all mere promises. McFar-
lands are real and genuine. based
upon true merit and actual services.
Mcfarland has done more for his
District in the way of passing bills
for the relief of our people in one
session than has been effected since
the war; he has done more for his
District than any former Represen-
tative ever accomplished and as he
is continued in Congress his infiu-
ence will be enlarged with his ac-
quaIntance and experience and he
will thereby be in position to render
most valued and important service
to our people. Then in all his acts
he has been governed with the sole
purpose of effecting results regard
less of party prejudice; he has la
bored as earnestly and worked as
faithfully for Republicans as he has
for Democrats. the only question
with him, is the claim just, honest
and right. He has done much-has
had more bills passed for the relief
of our people than all others have
been able to accomplish, yet he in
troduced many bills of real merit
that it will require time to pass and
he can carry them through easier and
surer than any new member. 1t is
the interest of every citizen of this
District to have him returned to
Congress.

THE Ga UNTZET T,HRO WV Do WIN.
From, tba Nssbx-i1Ie Ar,arieaD

c.. S. Smith the colored orator, who
stirred up Bob. Harlan and other
disciples OF Morton and Grant in the
National Colored Convention held in
this city last spring, has recently
made q speech in Brownsville. which
appears to have provoked the wrath
of the Brownsville Free Press (Rep.).
edited by Hon. A. A. Freeman. In
reply to the structures of the Free
Press, Smith says:
"While / am not disposed to be
drawn into a political controversy,
yet in order that truth may be vim
dicated, ! will agree to meet the edi-
tor of the Free Press in the city of
brownsville at any time he may
designate to discuss the following
propositions
"a 1. That the war was not waged
on the Federal side for the over
throw Of slavery,
%. That the passage of tbs thir-
teenth, fourteenth and fifteenth
amendments to the Constitution was
prompted by motives involving party
interest, rather than of magnanimity.
"3. That the Democratic. or no
other party. will ever re-establish
slavery in this country. and that any
one who says so, states q known
falsehood in his heart.
"A. That Republicans stole the
colored mans money out of the
Freedman's Savings Bank. and that
the editor of the Free Press has
never demanded their arrest or pun
ishment."
As the Republican politicians have
demanded the support of the colored
race upon the reverse of the propo-
sitions stated here. we now have the
opportunity of an entertaining and
and instructive discussion. if Free
man will accept Smiths challenge,
We should prefer and wonId sug-
gest that the place of discussion be
changed from Brownsville to the |
Hall of the House Of Representatives
in this city. What say the dis
putants.

WHAT My BE LOST

Many claims now before Congress
for the relief Of our people presented
by Mr. Mcfarland could not in the
order Of things be acted upon in
one session. When it is remembered
that he had more bills passed than
any other member, our people who
are still seeking relief should rest
easy, for he will get them all through
that it is possible to have passed.
But it is important that he be en-
dorsed by his people by reelection,
as it will strengthen his influence !;
and besides, should he not be re-
turned, it would greatly prejudice
all these bills, for every time they
are represented and the longer they
are delayed the greater is the diff
Guilty in procuring their passage.
He has the run of them he has the
confidence of ali the Departments,
and be has influence with every hon.
est member of Congress, for they
know he will not ask for what is not
meritorious and right. They know
he will not have a job put up on the
Government. and that a bill he offers
ought TO pass.

a Harvest. of Health

Those who use Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters as means of invigoration and
protection against disease, invariably
reap an ample harvest of health. Diges-
ton, exoretion and secretion are render
ed regular and vigorous by this ruling
tonic and Alternative, and the essentials
of health being secured, that blessing
naturally follows. Nervous disease, in
termittent and renaittent fevers, rheu.
matism, biliousness, and kidney or nlad-
der troubles are speedily relieved by the
Bitters, which are as potent in prevent
Ing these maladies as in remedying them.
And it may almost be said that their
power of preventing diseases is as strong
recommendation their favor as their
power of curing them, especially in To-
calities where fehFile complaints of an
intermittent type prevail, and where the
ordinary resources OF the pharmacOpnia,
such as quinine, arsenic, bismuth, etc,
afford no adequate safeguard.
The Bitters are also highly desirable as
a substitute fer tho ordinary RervineS
and sedatiVes. The hydrate of ehloral
and the bromide of potassium are both
highly perhicious drugs, the first cloud
ing the brain and, ii Ia said weakening
the tonieity of the venous system; and
che latter running the digestion and in
feoting the blood, Hostetter's Ritters
achieves the remedial purpose of both
these medicines, which is to soothe the
brain and nerves, without causing any
hurtful after effects, but on the contrary,
toning as well as sioothing the irritated
The nervous invalid who
uses this superlative vegetable nervine,

and of unwonted vitality as we'll.
The Morristown gazette. [volume] (Morristown, Tenn.) 1867-1920, 1876-08-02

When Mr.. Mcfarland presents a
measure or offers a bill in Congress
its opponents cannot weaken its
force by crying out, "it's q rebel
measure" or Its a bill for the re-
lief of some disloyal traitor" He
has the confidence and respect of
every Southern member, and in the
North no man from the South exerts
a wider influence. AS an evidence
of this we have but to look at the
unparalleled success of his measures.
Every fair-minded man in our Dis
t1ct must admit that he can now do
more for US than any man we could
elect. Let the people look to their
true interests and vote for the man
who has done more for them and
can do more for them than any one
has done or any one else can do.

.REDUCE TIE TAXES II

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Yes, we all agree about that; but the
question is, how can the thing be did?
Dorsey B. Thomas says, Levy only
sufficient tax to run the government (as
l understand him), without paying any
interest; and he and his sort say 90 cents
on the 500, will be sufficient for this.
Let us see. Gaines says the expenses
of the State are not exceeding $500, 900
per annum The privilege and court
taxes amount to about $3.50, 900 or 1915,
000 and the railroad tax TO about $780,
600 per annum. So that to run the State
government, we need no tax on property
at all, much less 90 cents on the 500.
But as 1t is, we pay about an average
! of 81 20 per 800 for all purposes, only
40 cents of this goes to the State. In
other words, we pay Including poll tax
more than twice as much for county and
! school purposes as we do the State. If
we accept Mr.. ThoTnas's idea and re-
duce to 20 cents for State purposes we
must still pay 81 on the 800.
But the cider is leakin' out some
where Let us look at the other end of
the bar'l and see if we can find the
leak
Eighty cents on the 800 appropriated
and used up by the county courts (75
cents in Hamblen) and only 40 cents

and pay the interest on her large bonded
debit The counties are spending on an
average, about $50, 900 each per annum.
Little Hamblen manages TO get through
with fraction over $13 900, as I under
stand. Now, what's the use? What on
airth is goin' with it?
Don't misunderstood me. So far as
Hamilton Is concerned her officers are

But shores your born it's leakin' at this

dollar, why, scale them and count the in
terest paid on them heretofore as partial

THE DIFFERENCE.

Our District was represented eight
years by Republican, with a Re-
publican Congress and yet be never
obtained one cent for the improve
ment Of our great water courses.
Mr.. Mcfarland has been in Congress
only a few months and yet he is in
strumental in having appropriations
for the Clinch, Powell and French
Broad rivers. and a survey of the
Nolachucky and Holston. And he
does this in a Democratic House,
Republican Senate and Republican
President, showing his influence as
we'll as his ability to work and serve
his people. These great works are
not partizan. Our whole people are
to be benefited, our commerce en-
larged, our products conveyed to
market at increased facilities and
cheaper rates thereby benefitting and
enriching our whole people. Is not
this the kind of man every good cit
izen wants in CongressP The adj
vancement of our material interests
the development of our vast re-
sources-the building up of the
wealth of our people is what we all
need more than we do partizan leg
A tree is known by its
fruits. and the only safe way to
Judge a man is by his actions-by |
what he has done. not by what he
promises to do. Promises are cheap |
aud easily made, but acts, like facts,
are stubborn things and speak for
themselves. Let our people take
acts and not rely upon prom ses.

This District probably has mo

This District probably has more
claims against the Government than
any other section of the same extent
in the State. Mr.. Mcfarland has
succeeded in having many of these
claims paid, and he has many others
in fair way of settlement. But it
takes time and labor to get them all
through. He has already had more
bills passed for the relief of our peo-
pie than any other member has been
able to secure. He labors for all
alike; the only question he ask is,
are they all right?
