RAILROAD PROSPECTS.

To thu Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
The inclosed article in reference
to railroad matters. is Of consider
able interest to the people in this
country, and you would do well, per-
haps, to copy it into the GAZETTE.
and make such suggestions on it as
you may see proper. 1t seems to
me that the people in this section
and all along the proposed route
ought to take some action on the
subject; say, to hold public meet
ings and urge all the members of
Congress and Senators from the
States interested, to lend their in
nuence to it. 1t is certainly mat
ter Of very great interest to the peo-
pie of East Tennessee, as she great
ly needs an outlet to the South.
Yours, H. P. WAUGH.
"Among the railroad bills in the House
is one which was considered by the COM
mittee on Railways and Canals last year,
providing for a charter of a passenger
and freight railway from Chicago to
Charleston, s. G. Among the gentlemen
interested in this project are Cyrus H.
Mccormick, of Chicago; Ex-Governor
Beriah Magoffin, of Kentucky; John
Baxter, Tennessee, and General Cling
man, besides a number of Indiana and
New York capitalists. The proposed
route is from Chicago to indianapolis,
thence across the Ohio river through
Georgetown, Kentucky, to Cumberlan
c -, and thence to AsheviIle, N. c.,
and to Charleston, s. c., with branch
roads to Savannah and other Southern
points. This is undoubtedly designed
as continuation of the Spartanburg &
Asheville Railroad, which when com
pleted to Asheville will make direct
line to Charleston. The parties inter,
ested in the project are said to have
plenty of money. and to be confident OF
their ability to put the road through il
the charter can be obtained. Charlotte

BUTLER AND KELLOGG TAKE
THEIR SEAT
From Sundays Tribune


The play is over, and the curtain now
drops upon the two carpet-baggera, Pat
terson and Conover, whose performances
for eight or ten days past have excited
both the admiration and the disgust of
the country. Bya peculiar combination
of circumstances, they became leading
figures in the Senatorial show. They
have played their parts, retired from the
stage, and left us to count up the net
results of the entertainment. Kellogg
is seated-Butler is seated, and Eustis,
being favorably reported on, will proba-
bly, be seated tomorrow. Viewed in
any aspect of the case, the admission
of Kellogg to a seat in the United States
Senate is a gross public outrage. Sena-
tors have voted for him, no doubt, who
last spring would not have touched him.
He has been taken into the Senatorial
family, reeking with fraud, and without
the shadow of State authority now re-
manning to sustain him. His admission
is the boldest challenge that has yet
been given to the Southern policy"
of the Administration and the most no
table fact in connection with the whole
matter is that Stanley Matthews, who
engineered the whole Southern move
ment that led to the abandonment of
Packard and Chamberlain, and Chris
tiancy and other avoWed friends of the
Administrations, are found supporting
Kellogg's pretensiOns. His admission
can not be Iegitimately otherwise con-
strued than as proclamation by the
Republican Senators that Packard was
wrongfulIy abandoned by the President
for Kellogg never had even shadow of
title except the same by which Packard
claimed the GOvernorship. So the ex-
ira session closes not with final triumph
of the bIOody-shirts over the Hayes
policy SO far as the Republican party
interests are concerned. The result
shows either that Hayes is destitute of
influence in the Senate, or is Indifferent
to the treatment of policy for which
he has claimed and has largely received
the Communications of his fellow-citi-
zens. Bat, like all the "triumphs" that
have lately been won by the Republi-
cans, this seating of Kellogg will result
disastrously to them. The respectable
portion of the country had long since
learned to despise the dethroned carpet
Dagger, and to regard with contempt
his bogus claims to a Senatorship. He
can only serve, for short time, to help
retain the very small fragment OF that
once overshadowing majority that yet
remains to the Republicans on the SEN
ate floor Kellogg will hardly serve
out six years in his fouIly procured
seat,

1t is the duty of every person who has
used BosCHEE's GERMAN SYURP to let
its wonderful qualities be known to

ANOTHER DOOMED MANI
THE FATE Of RAPER.
ssGuse Griffey Sentenced to Hang
at Newport January Is,
1920

We take the following from Sundays
Knoxville Chronicle. 1.-THE Circuit
Court of Cooke county was held last
week at Newport, Judge ]. G. Rose
presiding. The most important case
disposed of was that of ''Gus." Gritty
for the outraging of the person of
little girl under ten years of age,
daughter of Mr.. Clark of that county,
something over twelve months ago.
An account of the horrible affair was
published at the time and the details
were of the most outrageous and blood
curdling character, too sick ening and
repulsive to bear repetition, and demon
strated the fact that the villainous per-
petrator was nothing more than fiend
in human shape. In fact, for attrocity
the case stands unequalled. He was
arrested and promptly lodged in jail,
where he remained up to about two
weeks ago He, with several other
prisoners, escaped from Newport jail,
but Griffey was re-arrested few days
afterwards. He was put upon trial last
Tuesday, which was the first trail in
court, and on Thursday a verdict of
guilty was rendered, and the prisoner
sentenced by Judge Rose to be hung
at Newport, on Friday, January 18th,
| 1878, which is the extreme penalty of
the law. An appeal was, however,
taken to the Supreme Court, which
meets in Sept. 1873, and will give him

The prisoner was defended by Messrs.
Jas. NJ. Meek, of New Market, and r.
P. Toole, formerly of our city, and At
torney General J. c. J. Williams, of our
city appeared for the State in the place
of Attorney General Fulkerson. Mr..
Williams, as we learn acquitted himself
well, and made considerable character
in his skillful management of the case.
Capt. O. C. King, of Morristown, as
sisted him.
This is the first death sentence ever
passed in that county, and also the first
ever passed by Judge Rose since the be
ginning of his Judicial career In the
making up of the jury, the first day
eight members had been obtained before
the adjournment and they had to be
kept together, over night until the jury
could be completed, and the trial com
menced, but while they were at theil
boarding house asleep, two of the jury
men stole out of the house violating the
order of the court and the law, and wen
off to get some whisky. The fact wal
reported to the Judge the next day
when the two jurymen were sentenced
to imprisonment and fine and were boil
sent to Jail, but only kept there shor
time. This jury had to be discharged
and another was empanneled.
