e. General Gideon ]. Pillow

ma General Gideon ]. Pillow is
an applicant for the position Of u.
S. Circuit Judge to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death OF Judge
Emmons. Certain Radicals who did
no fighting while the war was going
on, denounce Gen. Pillow as a traitor
and protest against his appointment.
We don't care a six-pence whether
Dir. Hayes gives him the place or
not. He might do so without any
discredit to his administration. 1t
Is true Pillow was a soldier and a
General and a Southern man in the
late war. It is also true that he was
a soldier and General in the Mex
lean war. He led the most desperate
and daring charge that was made at
Cerro Gordo, and staid in the very
front Of the red-hot battle until the
American Eagle was placed in tri-
umph upon the Palace of the Mon
tezumas. These little yelping fell
lows who never smelt sulphur. except
when they had the itch, can't dam
age such a man as Gen. Pillow. The
American people know him.

~ Post Master General Key has
made a discovery, and publishes it
TO the world. The discovery is this /:
1.-THE United States Postofice is
not political machine" That De-
partment has been run as party
engine for SO many long years that it
is hard for the people to understand
how Maj. Key can now set up the
old thing on business principles. I"
"Serve your masters or de-" has
been the rule not only in the Post
Office but in all other Departments
for many years.
The Superintendent of the Ma
tional Printing Office at Washington,
also announces that that establish
ment is not religious political or
charitable asylum" and that work
men will be employed there who are
sober, Industrious and efficient, with
out asking any questions as TO which
church they believe in or which party
they belong to. It seems as if the
United States Government was COM
ing to its senses at last. Hayes is a
right useful sort of a Fraud after
all.

LETTER FROM KNOXVILLE.

70 the Editor of the MorristOwn Gazette:

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
You have no Knoxville cores
pondent, have you? Why is this /?
How can you afford to publish ru-
raj paper and have nothing in it from
the great { p metropolis of East Ten
nessee? II you had just limited to
me that you desired some one to act
in this capacity, it would have been
enough. This is a rare city and it
contains a rare people, take them
altogether They know to a frac-
tion just how to build up city-to
multiply It's commercial resources
to extend manufactures and to build
railroads! They have a happy way
of throwing cold water upon every
thing Of the sort, and then wouder
why Knoxville is not the creates
commercial center in the world. If
some one should presume to take the
lead in the prosecution Of some pub
lie enterprise he is set down either
as most consumate fool. or afaict-
ed with disease known in horse
ology as the big head They say
he is getting too big for his breeches
"a little too smart and ought to be
taken down a button hole or two.
Everything of the sort must origin
ate NTH certain folks, or it is.no go.
The small fry must hide their con-
temptible little heads and let the big
fry do the frying. So you see we
are all a very happy people and run
together much after the way oil and
water run together.
The contented denizens of Norris
town can form no conception of the
liUelg times we have here in business.
All is hustle. 1t would do them
good to see Gay street crowded from
one end to the other with country
wagons, filed with all manner of
struck and turn~over." and to find
our mercantile establishments whole

cash customers! Don't, / beseeeh
you, treat this as q joke. ~ ~A-j

Opera House has recently been
thrown into BIount county, together
with all that part Of Gay street south
OF it towards the Tennessee river.

holy SANDER on the "city of hills"
ought to have his leather-head sous

is a downright burning. shame.
Staub's Opera House in Blount coun-
ty! A similar wretch has intimated
that at least two blocks on the south
ern end Of Gay street, running up as
high as Church street, are as dead
as mackeral. Now what I ask,
ought to be done with such scape-
goat? You, sir, we're born and rear
ed in the lap of this beautiful city.
How can you tolerate, for a moment,
such libel upon her. Sharpen the
nibs of your trenchant pen. dip it in
to vinegar and gall and let it loose
upon the siandereF. A veritable
scamp had the impudence to say in
my presence no longer than yester.
day that Gay street had the appear
anee OF Sunday. What dill he mean
by such a scurrilous remark? Did
he mean to say that business was
FUSED up on Gay street? Kick him
out. He is q monster in human

where the Russians crossed on
large number of RATS and small
boats until a position was secured
on the south bank. This accounts
for the comparatively small loss suf-
fered by the Russian troops, as the
passage was effected in small de-
tachmeHts. who were scattered on
the river and advanced towards the
