1t seems that the memory of this wo-
man like that of her renowned husband,
is likely to be kept alive to the end of
time. She is said to have possessed a
very irritable temper, and her name
has become synonym of vixen" or
''scold." 1t is more than possible how
ever. that the judgment passed npon her
by mankind has been too severe. A
more charitable disposition would un-
doubtedly have discovered in her, many
good qualities, and have attributed her
failing more to physical infirmities than
to moral obliquity. The party most
intimately acquainted with her and
therefore best able to form correct
opinion, gives her credit for many do
mestic virtues 1t is now we'll known
that many of the diseases to which wo-
men are subject, have a direct tendency
to render them irritable, peevish, cross,

eE- On Monday and Tuesday of last
week quite a number of cases were dis
Dosed Of on the State docket in the Cir
emit Court at Rogersville. After clear
ing off the smaller offences, the Court
entered upon the serious work of the
term. Pettigrew, the man with many
names, who broke open Mr.. Anderson's
store on Clinch, did not stand Il trial
hut submitted and was sentenced to the
Penitentiary three years. Dick Hughes,
who stole Dewolfe Miller's fine mare and
took her to Kentucky, was next tried,
convicted and sentenced TO the Peniten-
4iary for 21 years. Eight of the jury
men. we understand, were for enforcing
she extreme penalty of the law in this
case, and favored hanging Hicks by the
neck until lac was dead ; and this is proba-
bly, what ought to have been done.
Horse stealing must stop in our country.
This is the decision of all the good peO-
pie of the country, and if this decision
is disregarded by rOgues somebody will
Have broken neck to take 70 the grave
with him before long. -
After disposing Of the Hughes case
the Tarter barn-burning case was next
taken up This is the heaviest one on
the criminal docket here, and has been
before two Juries heretofore, who failed
to find a verdict Up to the present
friday counsel are still arguing the
case, which will probably go to the Jury
this afternoon.
The second week Of the term will be
devoted to the civil docket, which it is
to be hoped will be cleared off, as there
are a good many old cases which ought
by all means to be disposed of.
The Attorney in the Hughes case, we
learn, intends taking an appeal to the
Supreme Court, which is useless, as the
man undoubtedly stole the mule. An
appeal is only putting the people to ex-
49,. use for nothing.

~ Circuit Court convened at Rog-
ersville on Monday last, May 22nd, the
Hon. John A Mckinney presiding.
Judge Mckinney wears the ermine grace
fully, presides with becoming dignity,
acts promptly on questions of practice,
renders his charges in brief, lucid and
ineligible style, demeans himself with
patience and courtesy towards the bar,
though his manner of conducting the
functions Of his office evince determi-
nation to transact the business of the
Court with all practicable dispatch.
From close observation we are of the
opinion that he impresses the public IA
vOrably. Indeed, we have heard men of
all shades of political opinion and all
grades of intelligence speak of him in
the highest terms of commentator, and
we are sure we but express the universal
sentiment of osIr people when we say he
is filling the high office to which he has
been assigned with ability and thorough
efficiency-giving entire satisfaction to
all classes of people. The man suits
the place, and the place suits the man.
We are glad to know that we were not
mistaken in the estimate we placed upon
Judge McKinney's abilities when he first
received the appointment.
Several aspirants for Judicial honOrs
have been in town this week, for the
purpose, we suppose, of exchanging
views with each other and with the SOW
ereigns of the county. First, we have
Col. John Nctherland, whose character
and ability are known to all who are ia
miliar with the history of our country;
Col. John A Mckinney, of whom we
have above spoken, and Mr. Charles Il.
Vance, of Bristol, who, by the way, is a
gentleman Of fine legal ability, and one
who in the past, while acting as special
Judge in cases of importance, has given
ample proof of his fitness to meet any
emergency that might arise in the dis
charge of his Judicial office, should Ire
be the next Judge of the first Judicial
circuit. These gentlemen are represen-
tatives of the Democratic side of our po-
litical family, and are all, we presume,
subject to the choice of a convention of
that party, which will no doubt be held
between now and the August election,
as we are informed.
BY representatives of the Republica.l
party we were honored with a visit from
Col A. j. Brown, of JOnesbOrO', and
Hon. r. r. Butler, of EliZatethton.
Col. Brown is said to be lawyer of lib
eral legal culture-an honest, heightened.
self-made man, and should tho Republic
can party be successful In the contest
next August, we do not know of any
one IN their ranks that we would rather
see occupy the position of Judge. Hon.
r. r. Butler is known to all. Even the
little boys on the street know him and
call him /" RodeTick," Heavy charges
have been made against him as a politi.
clan, and he has many bitter enemies,
but in an election that same Roderick !:
a wheel-horse. He knows how to work
how to manage, and how to make all his
strength available We don't suppose
he is much of a lawyer, but if his cppo
nents do not manage things with judg
ment aad prudence R0derick win be the
next Judge of the First circuit.
