circuit Court convened at Elizabeth.
ton last Monday, Hon. Il. L. GiIlen,
waters presiding. A special term of
Chancery Court was also in session, Hon
D. D. kirkpatrick presiding. A large
number CT citizens from the rural dis,
tricts were in town. Many of them had
business in the Courts while others had
come IN to see their friends and hear the
Pol'tIcal news. The people of Carter are
very much interested in the coming Con.
gresslonal canvass aud while there is soma
difference of opinion among the Republi,
cans as to who shall make the race, and
as to who is tie most available man. We
find a large majority of the substantial
Republicans in favor Of Judge Gillen>
waters. If he should be the nominee Of
'he party, we were assured by the friends
OF the ether aspirauts that they would
give him a hearty support. Loyal Ca,.
ter Is going to do her duty this time and
there is no mistake of it.
FOR REPRESENTATIVE.
Many Of the prominent Republicans are
in favor of Hon. A. A. Taylor making
the race and if the proper arrangements
are made for him to enter the canvass he
will make it lively, and in the interest of
the party.
DR.. i, F. Hyder who was the Rep.
resentative four years ago, desires to he
again elected to The honorable position.
The Doctor is goood man. lie aud
Mr.. Taylor are personal friends tni it is
more than probable that they will not
both be candidates. .,N
SUPER AND FAIR.
The ludi S Of the NJ. T.. Church and
trends gave a supper and fair for the
benefit of the church on Monday night.
The ladies of El'zabethton know exactly
how to get up a supper to be admired
and relished. The table was filled with
all the good things" that could be de-
sired or wished for, and the large crowd
that patronized them was an evidence
that the people of the town know how to
appreciate and enjoy such an occasion.
We understand they realized about
$500 cash,
THE WOODEN FACTORIES.
The proprietors of the two Wooden
Manufactures are making arrangements
to do a much larger business this seaso.
than they have done heretofore. They
have bought at a heavy expense new
machinery AID will be able to do as good
work as any Factories in the United
States. The Messrs. Scott have lust
erected a new house, a very large frame
building, and will be better prepared for
their business in the future than they
we're last year. Such Factories as these
are evidence OF thrift aud prosperity, and
we wonder why it is that Washington
County cannot start an enterprise of this
kind.

Politically, Elizabethton is the l~iveliest
place We have visited for a long time
Everybody seems to be well posted, eve
to the children. The Republicans did
their caucusing on Monday, and
on Tuesday night it was understood
that a prominent member of the County
Court and an M. D. would hold e caucus
IN favor of their much esteemed friend
Hon. VIM. Mcfarland. Whether thew
would be able to secure a third man in
order to make the caucus lively and
Interesting, we a. not know. BY the
way 1t was whispered around that the
straight'out Democrats were not going to
allow their dear friends, Conservative
union men, to have all the glory in the
next race, and this is perhaps the cause
of the Tuesday night caucus. But The
Judge above referred to and NJ. D. are
good managers and by their tact and skill
may be able to carry thOir points.

The Baltimore SUMS Washington

Dispatches from Bismarck, Daco-
tab Territory, state that Sitting Bull
and a large force Of warriors crossed
the Missouri river near Fort Peck on
the 9th INST, and that Gen. Terry is
making efforts to overtake them.
The campaign ia Ohio and Indi-
ana is simply immense, and dailyin in
creasing. Both parties are putting
forth their utmost exertions, and The
people have not been aroused to such
an extent since the memorable cam
paign of 1910.
An official report has been receiv-
ed from Col. Carlin that Kill Eagle
and Little Wound, with about one
hundred Of their people, surrendered
TO him on the 18th at Standing

Inc cheyenne agency, under date Of

the hostile's camp, which is near
Slim Butte, $50 miles distant, say
the Indians are very DESTROYS Of sur
rendering.
All eyes are turned to Ohio and
Indiana. The result in these two
states IN October is expected To fore
shadow the result of the President

ry these two States in October the
Presidential contest is virtually de-
cided in favor of Tilden. On tha
other hand if the Republicans carry
Ohio and Indiana in October. II in
sures the election of HAYES in No
vember. But il the Republicans car
ny ONO and Indiana in October, it
insures the election of Hayes in No
vember. But If the Democrats carry
Indiana and the Republicans Ohio
by proportionate majorities, it would
leave the Presidential fight in about
the same position it is now and both
parties would then go to work with
redoubled energy to gain the victo-
ny.

EOr Fair s0unt.

In 1856 the Republican party for
the first time measured its streagth
with its Democratic enemy, 1t met
defeat, signal, decisive defeat, and it
retired from the contest, not broken,
not discouraged, but accepting the
verdict Of the ballot box, and deter
mined to try again. 1t uttered no
protest against the verdict. The peo-
pie had spoken, and 1t was tho duty
Of the Republican party to abide by
the decision OF the popular Will. 1t
was loyal to the country all through
the administration which had been
elected over its votes. And again in
1860 it entered the field, and carried
its victorious eagles in triumph to
the capitol at Washington. The
Democratic party that bad accepted
the verdict Of the ballot box when 1T
announced Republican defeat, sprang
to arms when the same voice of the
people declared in favor Of Republic
can rule. The Democratic party, de-
feated In fair, honorable contest, APP
pealed from the ballot box TO the
sword, and attempted to destroy the
union rather than submit to Repub-
lican rule, and now the Democratic
party Is repeating It's tactics Of 1860.
1t Is determined TO wrest victory
from defeat, by whatever dishonor-
able, unfair and violent means ii :an
use. In order 10 compass its ends, IL
has put forth the most monstrous and
absurd claims TO undoubted Itepubli-
can States, and il intends 10 maintain
its claims by glaring frauds, by vio-
Ience, by destroying the ballot boxes
and the returns, by obstinately main
tanning its fraudulent claims by the
same old defiant bullying and threat
ening that was the most characters
tic Of the Democratic tactics in the
old days OF southern rule before the
war. Now the time for that system
Of bullying and threatening has gone
by. The day is past when the peo-
pie Of the north could be coWed into
submission by rnouthful Of south
ern abuse and threatenings. The
idea that one southerner was equal,
mentally and physically, to five
yankees, was exploded during Lin
coins administration. And the Re-
publican party does not intend to sit
still in tame submission, and see its
own States that Ii has carried for past
years, and in this election, by un.

Election Contingencies.

A correspondent Of the I{dWk-E E'ye
thus answers very vexed questions:
In case Governor Hayes should be
elected by one vote, and one Of the
electors should die, would the cleo
ton be thrown into the house Of rep
resentatives is question that il be-
ing discussed by the people. Section
1877, revised United States statutes, is
rs follows: Each state may by law
provide for the filling Of any vacan-
cies which may occur in its college Of
electors when such college wants to
give its electoral vote.n In our own
state in case vacancy should occur,
the surviving electors choose some
one TO fill the vacancy, and give no.
tice OF the fact to the Governor Of the
state, who issues 10 the elector SO
chosen a Certificate Of the fact, aud he
then takes his place and votes the
same as If he had been elected by the
people.

ter has not been overlooked by any
Of the states Of the Union, and that
