1t seems quite an age since Sam
Slick has put in an appearance in
the GAZETTE in the form of rip
ples," but l presume he is venial
since nothing but ''snow, the beauti-
full SNOW" has met his ocular darts
when hurled over the sylvan hill and
dale for the past month. News
items have been covered up by the
snow, and the only alternative has
been for him TO hibernate, and suck
his paw, like an old bear.
Another attempt to break into the
Post-office was made a few nights
ago. He is an interchangeable house
breaker, for he has attempted it at
the Post-office at least half dozen
times since the election. Perhaps
he is a member of the Returning

with a double-barrel fuzee, loaded
buck-shot, and If he (the thief ever
attempts to pillage a private letter
he ought to aim at that white spot

If you wish to see the playful

him, and he'll run SO fast that a

Home Manufactures.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Every person is complaining of times
being very hard and money very scarce.
What makes times hard here, when mon
ey is plentiful in the Eastern States ?
The money is all sent there for manufac-
There is plenty of raw material of all
kinds in East Tennessee, but there are
no factories. Build factories and save
the expense of sending the raw material
by railroad at a heavy expense for
freight, for you not only have to pay the
railroad for transporting the raw mate
rial, but you have to pay it to bring back
the manufactured goods, and also pay
the commission merchant, the manufae-
turer, and the wholesale merchant a
profit. All of these profits and the rail-
road charges might be saved by building
factories and making the goods at home,
and give employment To a great many
poor people. What has built up the
New England States Echo says, faeto-
ries. What is building up the State of
Georgia? Echo says, factories. Why
not build up East Tennessee in the same
way?
I have seen reports from a number of
Georgia factories, and am personally ac-
duainted with some of the owners, and |
they all declare dividends from Is to 80 |
per cent per annum on the capital in /
vested. There might be a great many |
factories started in Morristown If the /
citizens would assist, and encourage in |.
every way the starting of them. IF two /

man to work it up they could make it
very profitable Some enterprising man

IN the United States A plough factory

SENATOR COMBINES LATE
SPEECH.
ISHO WING THAT HE WILL RAISE
ABOVE PARTY IN THE PRES
RNT POLITICAL CRISIS


In presenting the petition OF the
New York merchants and bankers
on the political crisis in the Senate
Thursday last Mr.. ConkIing said:
l have been requested to present
a petition. weighty by reason of the
subject to which it relates, and by
reason also of the number and char
acter OF those who sign it. The Pc
titioners are citizens of New York,
distinguished not only for their
prominence as members of society,
but for the large and varied interest
they represent. They are men
prominent in each of the great po-
liticai parties OF the country. | OBJ
serve among the signatures names
which at the recent Presidential cleo
ton were found on opposing elector-
al tickets. | observe the names of
eminent bankers, merchants, manu-
facturers, shipowners, scholars. pro-
fessional men, and other names
long and honorably associated with
leading enterprises and industries.
1t would be difficult TO select in
any State Of the Union $50 individ-
uals and firms who represent a
greater sum of property, intelligence
and character, or who, as petitioners,
deserve more consideration. The
petition is brief. and I will read it.
Mr.. Conkling then raed the petit
ton, and continued:
In laying this petition before the
Senate it may not be amiss to add
an avowal OF my sympathy with its
appeal for orderly, lawful, and pat
riotic action. In executing the Con-
stitution in any instance, and especi-
ally in an instance SO grave as the
one referred to, partisan feeling as
a guide and rule or action can right
fully have no place. Obedience to
law, observance of the Constitution,
and the maintenance OF truth is not
party question or proceeding it is
beyond party and above party. Par
ties may contend, and / believe it
is wholesome in free Government
that parties should contend, over
measures and candidates, but when
the contest has been submitted to
the ballot box, the final arbitrament
of popular contests known in our
system, the only duty, the only law
full proceeding connected with it,
which remains is to find the honest
and true result, to declare it, and
stand by it. That is the duty of
the hour. 1t rests on the two Houses
of Congress, It rests on the nation,
it rests on every citizen of the re-
public. That it will be done. and
done peaeeably, decently, and in
order, these petitioners do not, /
think, disbelieve. They in common
with all men, may derive confidence
from the fact that interest and ex-
Pediency, not less than patriotism
and honor, point to one direction
and teach one lesson. Whosoever
stands on the right and truth will
not fail. Whosoever attempts to
stand on wrong and falsehood will
be overthrown. / move reference
of the position to the select commit
tee to which it properly belongs.
1t was so ordered, the petition be-
ing referred to the committee of sew
en- Senators to devise means for a
proper count Of the electoral vote.

B1 Here is how the whole thing
happened, between Bennett and May.
A special to the ". Y. Times gives
the statement Of farmer, who wit
messed the affair. He says that the
pistols were loaded from a small
flask. This was succeeded by a
short parley between the gentlemen,
after which they walked to their
principals and handed over their
pistols. Again withdrawing one of
them called out: ''Are you ready 2"
The same man who had propounRled
this Interrogation called out in
solemn tone, Zone, two, three !" and
instantly the report, sharp and quick,
rang out. This. was repeated for
the third time. Neither principals
moved from their positions for a
minute or two, and then there seem
ed to be a consultation, at the con-
cluslon Of which the entire party
left the grounds. Neither appeared
to be in the least hurt, for each
walked off without any assistance.
The place of meeting, where the
three shots were exchanged, was
in Maryland, at Marydell.

PETER KERN.
One of the Self-made Men of
Our City.
From the Knoxville Daily Age.


From the Knoxville Daily Age.
But few men of this city, of any
class or profession. deserve more
credit than Peter Kern, the prince
Confectioner of Knoxville, He came
here a poor man, stranger, and
without influential friends to back
him. He was a shoemaker. by trade,
and, if we are not mistaken, was q
journeyman under Mr.. John S. Van
Glider when he was in the shoe
trade. He was an excellent work
man, and as faithful as he was ener-
getic. Having continued with Mr..
Van Glider for some time, he finally
opened bakery on Main street not
far from the old Bell House, where
he conducted n successful business.
Here we lost sight of him till after
the war. when he turned up as ba-
ker and confectioner, and, in a
short time. became exceedingly pop
ular as such with all classes of our
citizens. He was not only master of
his profession, but petite, accommo-
dating aud genial to every one with
whom he came in contact.
Hence it was not long till his bus
mess began to grow and expand.
His trade spread over the city. and
his house was filed with paying GUS
toners. In the meantime he made
q bulge for the country trade,
and luckily grasped it. Thus, from
one step to another, he steadily adj
vanced, charging his trade and &C.
quiring new friends all around him.
With a well poised business mind.
sagacious and careful, he was en-
abled to control. TO excellent advan-
tage. his rapidly increasing trade.
For series of years he carried on
his business in a small brick build
ing on Market Square, where pros
perity still chung to him, and the
goddess Fortune smiled upon him.
But the browning act 'of his enter
prise was the erection of a magnifi
cent building on Market Square
where he is now located. 1t is an
to the city, and monu
ment to his energy. On the lower
floor his extensive business is con-
Quoted. Here the visitor will find
splendid display of everything in the
confectionery line. and, especially
now, as he has the finest assortment
of goods, perhaps ever brought to
this city.
The second floor is fitted up for an
ice cream saloon in the most gorge
Gus style.
The third floor is the hall of the
Odd Fellows.
Mr.. Kern is one OF our best citi-
zens, and we can see exempliied in
him what energy. economy and good
sense can accomplish.

family requested him to pull of his shoes
and warm his feet by the fire. In at
tempting to take of the shoes it was
found they were frozen fast to his feet,
and knife had to be brought into re-

was called in, and it is said not less
than quart Of water came from each
