~ In the Senate on the goth an
amendment to the silver bill was
adopted, which makes it the duty
of the Secretary of the Treasury to
purchase each and every month a
sufficient amount Of silver bullion to
enable the Department to coin at
least 100000, but not more than
A. OOO,OO silver dollars per month,
and the bullion so purchased is to
be immediately coined. For this
purpose he is authorized and direct
ed to use any funds in the Treasury
not otherwise appropriated, provld-
ed that the total amount Of the u.
S. notes thus employed and drawn
from the Treasury shall not at any
one time exceed 100000. The
amendment is silent as to the dis
position the Department shall make
of the silver dollars, but in view of
the foregoing requirement, and as
thew are to be legal tender for the
payment Of the Government indebt-
edness, the presumption is that they
will be promptly paid out for cur
rent expenses, if not the lntereet on
the Government bonds.

NOT VERY COMPLIMENTARY"
KNOXVILLE, Nov. "A, 1877.

KNOXVILLE, Nov. "a, 1877.
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
In your last issue, under the above
caption, you think it not very compli-
mentary to Chief Justice Deaderick to
suggest his name in connection with the
governor ship of Tennessee, and you in
innate that he is being put forward as
an ''I1ldepe1ade1at" have only mention
ed his honOred name in connection with
this exalted position because of the fact
that it has been frequently reported that
he would, perhaps, be dropped as a can
didate for reelection to the Supreme
Bench, fate he does not desire, by the
way. In the event of such result the
feeling is strong throughout East Ten
nessee, and, / understand also in Middle
and West Tennessee, to take him up for
our next Governor. The people, as you
are aware, have mistaken confidence in
his integrity and ability, and, in these
times when corruption is rampant and
but little regard is had for the welfare
of the great body of our population, be-
hooves every citizen to see to it that we
have at the head of our State affairs
man whose sterling integrity will guar
antee a faithful, judicious and honest adj
ministration of our State Government.
Hence, if it should So turn out that
Chief Justice Deaderick is not re-elect-
ed as one of our Supreme Judges, then
the voice of the people, in every portion
II 4 Ia al -,
Governor of Tennessee. Don't forget
this, Mr.. Helms. You viii find that
have made no false prediction. You
know, as we'll as do, the temper of our
people. They are heartily tired and sick
of running our State Government in the
interest of miserable cliques and corrupt
rings. Now don't do me the injustice
of eliminating this last line. I am re-
sponsible for it, and not you.
One word as to running him as an In
depeRdeRt" This is too ridiculous to
think about. 1t is not proposed to run
him as an "hldependeant. If run at all,
it will be done in accordance with the
time-honored usages of the Democratic
party, and with these you are familiar.
His friends land they are 'legions'') will
carry his claims to the Democratic Con-
vention and there press them vigor-
ously ana persistsntly. In such con-
test, you will find East Tennessee solid
from Bristol to Chattanooga in support
of them. There will be some slight OPP
positions to him from Knoxville, but too
insignificant TO amount to anything,
growing out of circumstances with
which we are all familiar in 'these1
parts" DEMOCRAT.

Hon. Albert Willis, Congressman
from this. district, has introduced into
Congress petition of w. G. Smith, one
of our leading millers. which is also
signed by all the other millers and manu-
facturers of -four in this city and the
State. The petition asks for an iRvesti-
CATION into the circumstances connected
with the reissue of patent No. 5,841 in
favor of Cochran and others; also that
the Attorney General be requested to
institute suit for the cancellation of
that patent, and that the patent laws be
amended so as to prevent the fraudu-
lent issue of patents. The petition was
referred to the Committee on Patents.
This is a matter which interests all mil
lers of the United States. The firm of
which Gov. CT c. Washbarn, OF Mime
sofa; is member, owning the largest
mill in the United States, was sued sew
eral months ago by one Cochran, claim
ing a patent on a certain 'new process
of making four, as it is called, by the
use of certain machinery This suitwas
brought as a test case and decided in the
courts of the State in favor of the so
called patentee, whose claims, the mill
lers assert, are fraudulent, and who, If
sustained, can in reality levy tax. on
every loaf of bread eaten in this couh-
try. The object of the petition OF Mr.
Smith and others can therefore be easily
perceived. e8 =H1aN - fHs

In view of the near approach

In view Of the near approach of
Thanksgiving Day, we present this
very superior receipt for roasting
turkey: prepare stufring Of pork
sausage meat, one beaten egg. and
a few erums Of bread or if sausages
are to be served with the turkey
stuffing as for fillet of veal in either
q little shred shallot is an improve
ment. Stuff the bird under the
breast; dredge it with -four, and put
it down to a clear, brisk fire; at a
moderate distance the first half hour
but afterwards nearer. Basic with
butter, and when the turkey is
plumed up and the steam draws
towards the FIRE, it will be nearly
done then dredge it lightly with
fonr. and haste it with little more
batter fret melted in the basting
ladIe. Serve the gravy in the dish
and bread and sauce in tureen. It
may be garnished with sausages, or
with fried force meat, if veal stufing
be used. Sometimes the gizzard
and liver are dipped into the yOlk
of an egg. sprink.ed with salt and
Cayenne, and then put to the fire.
A very large turkey will require
three hours roasting; one of eight
or ten pounds, two hours and a
small one an hour and hall"

do you speak when you say this? For
the friends of Judge D.? If SO, God
save him from such friends. That
is not the language OF the friends of
His Honor, and we agree with you
when you say his friends "are le-
gion." That is the language Of
men who, whether they intend it or
not, are preparing the way to horn
Judge Deaderick from the race for
Supreme Judge. Does Democrat"
pretend to think that hi; friends are
going to allow this to be done
those same friends who from Carter
TO Hamilton, and from Hamilton to
Shelby, would nominate him for Gov
ernor? Such an idea! No. The
friends Of Judge Deaderick do not
expect him to run for Governor,
either as an independent or as the
regular nominee-for the very good
reason that they expect him to be
reelected to- the Bench next August.
We thought the first article from
Democrat was ''not very compli-
mentary' to his honor. We think
the article published by US this
week, which tries to throw "a tub to
the whale is notonly not compliment
tary-but it is outrageously cool.
That his honor should be told
through the papers--that "you are
to be dropped from the race for Su-
