THE F1Rsr JUDICIAL c1RoUIE


In some portions Of upper East
Tennessee Gov. Porter has been Sc
vereIy criticized for appointing sue
cesssor to Judge Gillenwaters SO
so on after the Judges death. Upon
inquiry at the Capitol we are inform
ed that twice since Gov. Porter's in
auguration it was understood that
Judge GiiIenwaters was about to
resign. This induced as many as
seven lawyers of his circuitt to apply
for the position, who punished the
Governor with more than two hun
dred letters and petitions signed by
lawyers and citizens, testifyiDg to
general qualifications of the respec-
tive applicants. These papers were
on file in the Executive Office when
Judge Giilenwaters died. When
the Governor heard of the death of
Judge Gillenwaters he referred to
these testimonials and appointed
Col.=Jehn A. Mckinney to fill the
vacancy. Judge Gillenwaters died
March 27. Judge Mckinney was
commissioned March 81 the day af-
ter the burial of his predecessor. On
the 26th of March, the day after the
death of Judge Gillenwaters and on
the 29th, communications were for
warded to the Governor from Blount-
vile asking the appointment of
worthy attorney of that place. In
addition to the personal acquaint-
atce of the Governor with Judge Nc
Kinney, the appointment was recon-
mended by Col. John NetlIerlard,
j. I. Shields. Newton Hacker j. g.
Rose. j. G. Hodges, and others of
equal responsibility in and ont of
the cireuit. Such are the facts as
we gather them connected with the
OF Judge Mckinney.

~ 2sriIsGToS. d. G., SApril Is.
1876. To the editor of the TEI-
BUNE: l notice in yoHr paper Of
the It'll inst, your Washingtoll cor
respondent. in writing IN regard to
the river and barbor appropriation
bin says, "that il was to the eforEs
of General Dibrell, Seconded by the
address OF General Wilder, that the
people mayrattribnte the appropria~
ton for the Hiwassee and sGHtnel.' -
He says further that " Mr.. Thorn
burgh advocated the Improvement
Of the French Broad and Poacef $
rivers. aud succeeded in Inducing
the committee to recommeHd the
amounts gfarifed for heir Improves
ment.'' This is not true. and II
your correspondent had been cor
rectg informed, he certainly would
not have so written General DID
relt never said 4 word about CIinch
river. He had no interest in it. III
was not In his district Mr.. Thorn
burgll. at no time or place. said a.
word in favor of Tie Improvement OF
Powel,s river. He had no interest,"
in it. It was not in his district.
And all that General Wilder or Mr..
Thornbnrgh said in reference to
Clinehri was in favor of an aps
preparation for the Improvement of
Clinch river to the mouth of Emery
river, a distance Of some fourteeii
miles. The committee agreed tx,
report in favor of giving Clinch riyet
Sf2 600 and Powell's river Sic, 600,
at the instance of General Terry,
OF the Western District OF Virginia,
and myself alone, and we agreed
to these sumo as the best we could
do for our people. The statement
of your correspondent. is so unjust.
and untrue. that feel it due to N.Y.
self and TO the people whom I rep
resent TO state the facts. and /
know that my statements will be
fully eorroborted By both Gen. DID
reIi and Mr.. Thornburgh. Tt is
certainly true thasthe-a appropriation
to the Hiwassee is due alone to Gen.
Dibrell, and that he, by-his Influence,
contributed largely to the appropria-
tion to the Tennessee river, and it
Is also true that Mr.. Thornbnrgas
advocated the appropriations to tue.
French Broad, and wanted more
than was given. As to the survey
of the Holston and Holachncky riv-
ers. no man asked it. or said word
in favor of it but myself
Icare nothing personally, forsthe
statement of your correspondent,
but 1t is calculated to make the int.
preston on my constituents that
the appropriations for the Powel's
aud Clinch rivers was due entirely
to other members, who neither said
a word on the subject, or had any
interest in these rivers.
It is to be hoped that your cor
respondent insthe future, when he
assumes to write. will learn to inform
himself correctly before making
statements of the character alluded
to, calculated as they are to<misleiG
the people and do gross injustice to
members who have been active and
alive to the interests of their con-
stituents. The letter Irefer to APP
peared it your issue of April 14tb.
