REVENUE PANPHLET.-Hon, w. II.
Gibbs, Auditor of Public Accounts, and
Col. j. S. Hamilton, Deputy Auditor,
have had printed and distributed to the
revenue officers of the State, handsome
pamphlet of ia pages, containing all of
the laws appertaining to the public rev.
enues, with full instructions as TO the con-
struction of the laws and the duties of the
officers. 1t will be of great assistance to
tax collectors, and others directly con-
nected with the financial department of
the State.

We received a letter from Hon. W.
III. Gibbs, Auditor, calling our attention
TO a paragraph noticing the failure of
Meyer * Co., of Canton, and speaking
of Dan Meyer as former "henchman"
of the Auditor, which our friend Gibbs
excerpts to, and perhaps rightly. We
always take water" cheerfully when
wrong, and we say to the Auditor that
certainly no reflection was Intended upon
him, and that the adjective was hastily
applied. Auditor Gibbs has so conduct
ed himself in office as to exort full
praise from even his bitterest political
opponents, and his friends in this county
feel gratifed to have furnished to the
State such an officer under an admins
tration not remarkable for its purity.
AS to Mr.. Dan Meyer the least said the
better.-Woodville Republican.
We know nothing of the merits of the
former employee alluded to, but, though
differing in politics with Maj. Gibbs, we
desire unequivocally to endorse what is
said of him by our Woodville cotempo-
rary, as an efficient and meritorious off
Ger. He deserves commentator for his
appointment of an able and competent
corps to preside at the several desks in
his department They have given gen.
eraI satisfaction in the discharge of the
duties devolved upon them and with
out intending to be invidious, we wish to
bear testimony especially to the qualif-
cations and services of Deputy Auditor,
Col. Jones 8. Hamilton, who was prompt
on all occasions to impart useful infor-
nation for the guidance of the Legisla-
ture in framing laws in reference to the
finances of the State. 80 ]

The Mississippi Democratic Rep
resenGatiVes I'm Congress and the
Investigating Committee.

Gen. Ames' testimony before the In
vestigating Committee is condensed in the
New York Times. It is tissue of the
grossest misrepresentation and calumnY,
and has gone forth to do its work of as
persing the character of our people, and
furnishing capital for the party, which
lives and thrives by keeping alive the
hates and animosities of the North and the
South. Under the circumstances, our
people have right confidently to expect
that their Representatives, who are on the
spot from which these falsehoods have
emanated, Will take prompt measures to
vindicate them, and to prevent the injury
which must result if their calumnatOrs are
not Immediately and efectually answered.
swered.
Having been eye-witnesses of the NAL
administration of the carpet-baggers, and
participants in the late canvass which
resulted in the triumph OF Reform, they
are prepared to give testimony that will
put to flight these unsupported charges,
and vindicate the good name Of their
constituency.
The speech of Morton, teeming with
r IL ohov aala
scandals, has not been refuted; and now
it is supplemented by the Munchausen
stories of the late Governor, who ADAM
doned his office to escape the penalty OF
his crimes, and who pretends to speak by
the book, and from knowledge obtained
in his official capacity. Our members OF
Congress have right to be heard before
the Committee, and through that me-
dium, by the nation and their constlt-
uents are looking to them, as the chosen
sentinels on the watchtower, to protect
their names from the murderous accusa-
tiOns of their unscrupulous assaAanls.
As witnesses having knowledge Of the
matters whereof they will speak, we trust
the Mississippi delegation Messrs. La
mar, Singleton, Money and Hooker
will, if they have not already done so,
demand hearing upon the various
points within the scope of the investiga-
ton, viz: The late election, its fairness
and legality; the obedience of our peo-
pie to law the corruption and dishon-
esty of carpet-bag rule, its extravagant
expenditures and the prohigacy and
wastefuIness of its financial system. 1t
is time this vindication was made; and
for the good name of our people and the
cause of right and justice, the sooner it
is made the better.

-DEATH az LAMES WOODS.

Last Wednesday morning, August 9,
JAMES WOODS, an aged and respected
citizen of this county, was found dead
in his bed We learn that he had retir-
ed the evening before in his usual health,
but had complained of feeling unwel.
Nothing serious, however, was appre-
hended until one of the family attempt
ed to wake him, the next morning, for
breakfast, when it was ascertained he
had breathed his last-''his spirit had
returned to God who gave it"
Mr.. Moore was born and raised near
Lynchburg, Va. He removed to this
country a great many years ago, and set
tied in this community, where he has
lived ever since. Mr.. Woods was in his
SD year. He was a consistent member
of the NJ. E. Church, South, and had la
bored number of years as a licensed
exhorter, earnestly endeavoring to build
up the Masters kingdom in the world.
Peace to his memory. P.

no the Editor Of Hawkins County Department:
Three miles east of Rogersville, in
Hawkins county, exists one of Natures
curiossities, which stands wonder to
the curious. 1t is strange that while we
boast of our stupendous waterfalls, Ma
tural Bridge and Mammoth Cave, that
we pass by unnoticed this quiet little
wonder, pouring forth its floods of chris
tai waters - Natures hour-glass. The
phenomena of its action is explained up
on the principle of reservoir and ST.
phon When the water has accumulated
until it rises above the highest point in
the siphon, it begins to flow, and con-
tinues until the reservoir is empty or re-
duced below the short arm of the siphon,
at which time air is admitted into the
aqueduct, and no more water can escape
until it again reaches the highest level.
The reservoir is sufficiently far from the
spring or point at which the water reach
es the surface of the earth, that at no
time docs the water entirely cease to
flow, but each hour it makes the follow
ing variations: At food-tide there is
being discharged about 100 gallons per
minute, which continues fifteen minutes,
when ebb-tide is established, and when
the minimum volume is being discharg
ed, it would not exceed twenty gallons
to the minute This time is reckoned
from the beginning of foed-tide, or at
that time when the waters first begin to
rise.
The waters are pure and clear; they
contain a small per cent of calcarious
matter, and evolve just sufficient car
bonic acid gas to render them sparkling
and delicious. At all seasons tempera-
ture of 40deg. Fahrenheit is maintained,
and no meteorologic influence effects
their qualities.
For beauty of scenery, one has but to
look to East Tennessee, with her pleas
ant valleys, fern-covered rocks and dom-
ineering hills, to get of this picture of
beauty. What nicer invitation viii you
have to spend pleasant summer day?

KNOXVILLE, August 18th, 1871

KNOXVILLE, August Itn, 1915.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Happily, we are through the county
elections, and can now proceed to ex-
anime into the claims of the nominees,
for Federal and State officials. 1t is con-
ceded on all sides that reform is the one
thing needful, or that the great repub-
Iic'' ceases to be a republic. We have
had Republican rule, so called, for many
years, nearly sixteen and what has it
brought us? Why, the last seven years
has brought the national character to so
low standard that, unless something is
done and that right speedily, we are I'M
done as a government of and for the peo-
pie. The remedy is in our own hands to
rectify the errors and corruptions of the
past The two parties have entered for
the contest, their candidates; the Radi-
cal party present a man for the presi-
dency, not in ability up to mediocrity--
of such plastic temperament that he can
be easily controlled, by the old joekies
of that party. He possesses no force of
character, to stem the corrupt tide,
which rises at Washington, but if elect
ed will reinaugurate the villainies, which
has well nigh destroyed our govern
ment
The Democratic party, on the other
hand, have put forth candidates of ac-
knowledged ability for craftsmanship, !
and unfolding firmness against eorrup. |
ton They have a record, of which |
they may well feel proud; a record,
which is a guarantee of what may be |
expected of them in carrying out the |
reform in the government,
and bring it back to the good old ways
of our better days. Tilden is great re-
former. Look what he has done in New
York in the last three years. This fore
shadows what he will do when he gets
to be President The big stealers and
the little stealers will be taught humili-
alton The double-fee grabbers, as well
IS the Ring thieves, will be made to dis
gorge. Our Michigan District Attorney,
J Judge Andrews, viii have to give back
MS unlawful gainsi and our clerks of the
Federal Courts will have to make o true
.ecord of all causes in their respective
courts. When man pleads guilty, put
tdown so, and not say came jury, to.

Irews fee. Yes, you may set it down
