The following letter is made public to-day:
JEFFERSON. Ohio, April 9.
To W. II. Pdinter, Washington, D. c..
Nv dear Sir,-Your letter of the fifth was duly
received. You ask whether | remember what l
said in favor of President Hayes in my endeavor
to procure his nomination at the Cincinnati Con-
venton. / do remember it, after what has since
trsnspred with Indignation and a bitterness oil
soul that ] never felt before. You know with
what untirug zeal | abored for the emancipation
of the slaves Of the South and to procure justice
for them before and during the time was IN Con-
gress and supposed President Hayes was 40 full
accord with me on this subject. But have been
deceived betrayed and even Illuminated oY the
course he has taken to a degree that have not
language to express. During the hrst monlh OF
his administration We find him closeted WIN TWO
of the most malignant enemies of the colored
ace that can be found in all that slave cursed re-
gion, and consulting with those maefactors how
best he can put these colored people under the
iron heel of their most bitter enemies and reduce
them to a condition infinitely worse than before
they were free. feel that to have emancipated
these people and then to leave them unprotected
would be a crime as Infamous as TO have reduced
them to slavery when they were free, and for
Hayes 10 do this TO the men that had, at the haZ
ard of their lives, given him the votes without
which he never could have had the power to do
this terrible injustice, no doubt he meditates the
destruction of the party that elected him. a con-
temptation of this fills me with amazement and in
dgnatIon. My only consolation is that history
informs me that better men than ever pretended
TO be have in like manner been deceived. Some
have attempted to excuse him by saying that ne

fortunate lad was, last Saturday, en-
cased andlet down into the cold ground,
and covered with mother earth, in the
Morristown Cemetery. The injuries
which he sustained from the turning
table, as recounted last week, were so
great as to prove beyond medical skill,
and at 12 O'clock, Friday night, his suf-
ferings were brought to an end. "A re-
spectacle number of people, mostly
young ones, gathered at the Cemetery to
witness the last sad rites that could be
paid deceased friend. The services
were opened by Rev. t. @. Carroll, in

50 The Man Who Saw Ed. Tate
Dance"
MINERAL HILL.

MINERAL HILL.
To the Editor Of the Morristovn Gazette:
For weeks and weeks have we won
dered who was the witty and learned
correspondent who dated his communi-
cation from Tate Spring, but now we
wonder no more-the problem is solved
the mystery is over and we are happy!
He says he was at a "social hop" at
Mineral Hill not long ago, and witness
ed while there performance which fill
ed his soul with surprise and admira-
tiOn;-it was our proprietor engaged in
the merry mazes of the dance.
We remember the occasion, FORUM
ately for us. Mr.. Tate was our partner,
and we had every opportunity for salts
flying our curiosity as to the personality
of a certain lOng-haired, thin-visaged
individual who stood lOnesomely on the
back gallery and could only be persuad-
ed to take a frightened peep into the
ballroom. We know now who that in
dividual was,-we are glad he ''ssw Ed.
Tate dance" for thereby he bestowed
upon us the inestimable boon of behold
ing him! We were sorry for him then
our feelings since have undergone no
change.
There he stood, ga thing of beauty,
and a joy forever" Six feet, four
inches, we discovered him to be by the
print of his oily tresses upon the wall,
attired in all the grandeur of his "Sun-
day-go-to -meetin' clothes! If his sleeves
were trifle too short for the arms they
contained, and if his necktie was tortur-
ing him beyond measure, where is the
man or woman so diabolical as to criti-
else such trifies of toilet when the ''tout
ensemble" was so imposing. Excuse us,
Mr.. Editor, we do not often air our
French, but the occasion calls for some
thing more than our English vocabulary
affords.
All, he was fair to look upon,
The maidens' hearts did strike
With Cupid's sweet enchantment,
And his name it was B?
In vain did Mr.. Tate seek to lure this
masculine charmer into the ballroom,
but no persuasion could induce him to
leave his safe retreat upon the gallery.
When asked his reason for thus seclud-
ing himself, he answered that "He was
afeard;" and upon being assured that
nothing would harm him, he pointed
with trembling finger to where the
musicians sat and asked ''If that thing
would explode?" The poor creature re-
ferred to the bass violin, which he took
for some explosive instrument OF tor
ture especially invented for the destruc-
ton of such ''Innocents Abroad" as
himself!
Ali Mr.. Editor. it was a spectaclel
and we hope he'll come again, now that
John Robinson has left the State.

1t is Will. Shields who did it. At least
we think it was him, because he has been
all the time talking through the GAZETTE
about the superiority of thoroughbred
stock over the scrub kind, and when a
change occurs in his neighborhood, pro-
ducing more reputable stock, it is chart
table to attribute it to his persistent and
earnest teachings Therefore we put to
his credit the recent purchase, by mine
host, Maj. Thos. G. Cain, of the Cain
House, of thoroughbred Jersey Bull,
named "Eam," bought of Col. VIM. H
Turley, of McMillan's Station, Knox CO.
Mai. Cain, not satisfied with running the
most popular and paying hotel in East
Tennessee, so his invidious neighbors
say, has formed a combination with
Shields, Branner, Yoe, George Folsom
and others, to diffuse and perpetuate pure
blooded cattle in Hamblen county. The
combination is smyth, but the Bull,
"Sam," is a reality, and if any of the
owners Of good mich cows wish to con-
tinue and improve their kline let them
note SANS" whereabouts and act the
part of wise men in developing better
mixers and better calves through him

able stock

AS an item of news, we regret to say
that on Tuesday last, the 4th inst, our
agricultural editor, Mr.. Will. s. Shields,
of Clinchdale, Granger county, than
whom nobler specimen of young and
honorable progressivemanhood exists not
in the State or country, was summarily
elected from freight train, in which he
had taken passage at Messy Creek for
this place, for not having purchased a
ticket before taking his seat We have
not met Mr. Shields, nor had communi-
cation with him since the occurrence
and our information is entirely es-passe.

necessary incidents, whether they are

prayer. At the conclusion, Rev. DR..
Evans, father of the deceased, arose and
said, in firm but trembling voice :.
"Boys, always obey your parents. You
don't know what one day may bring
forth. Some of you were little Willie's
pIay-mates. I think some of you were
with him the day he received the fatal
injury, which has deprived him of his
life, as you now see, and whose body is
now awaiting to be placed in the ground.
Don't do anything against the will of
your parents-be obedient to them in
all things, and God will love and take
care of you. This little boy, my Will
lie, you now see laid before you, was
always obedient to father and mother.
He was never disobedient to his parents
in anything. He never left home with
out consent. The day he met the sad
accident, he asked me to let him go to
visit a playmate. I gave him permits
sion to do so. / afterwards learned that
while IN company with this boy, his at
tention was directed by him to the I'M
safe condition of the turning table, and
fearing some accident would befall from
it attempted to adjust it; and thus in at
tempting to do what he thought was
right he has lost his life. l think he
was prepared to die, at least he gave
good indication. He talked of Jesus,
and said be would soon be at rest, and
that he would meet US in Heaven. Just
before he died, he sang Rock of ages
cleft for me-" At the conclusion of his
remarks, he requested that "Rock of
ages !" be sung" Great feeling was man.
ifested, and tears flowed freely from old
and young. Especially did deep feel
ing of sorrow seem to pervade the minds
of the children present.

The last Bristol Neaos gives the details
Of the capture of three thieves who have
been depre1ating in that vicinity and on
the railroad. The trio it seems have for
some time been engaged in swindling
unsophisticated passengers on the line Of
the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia railroad, between Carriers Station
and Bristol, at the game of three card
monte, occasionally filling a hiatus in
playing by picking the pockets of IN
wary passengers, Recently one of the
rascals attempted to snatch q valuable
gold watch from a passenger, and this
led to the capture of the gang. They
are now confined in the Abingdon, Va,
Jail, awaiting q requisition from Gov.
Porter. Their names are given as Nc
Kee, Green and Stuart, and il is only a
question of time as to when Matt. Swan
will proceed to BlOuntville and deliver
them to the lessees Of the Tennessee
penitentiary.
