''Katie Moore" and four or five color
ed damsels were arraigned before Esq.
Dickinson last week for indulging in
free hand hand fisticuff. The office
presented lively appearance through
out the trial, as the lie was given freely,
with mixture of the latest slang quota
tions, and at one time there would have
been a spontaneous collision if parties
had not interferred. Esq. Dickinson
was worried for some time, but finally
after taking into consideration that the
cornbatants were worth nothing and
that if they were put in Jail would have
to be fed at the expense Of the county.
he dismissed the case, and advised them
to 60 home and behave themselves. ''

~ A Washington special to the
Cincinnati Commercial says: There
is strong pressure from Tennessee
and the adjacent States in favor Of
Hon. John Baxter Of Knoxville, for
Justice of the Supreme Court. The
papers in the case were presented
to the President tonight, and he re.
marked upon their exceptionally
strong character, but did not indicate
what his action would be. Among
the recommendations was letter
from Brownlow, the last one he die
tated before his death"

A gay young widow of Baltimore the
other day gave out that her sister was
dead, and, accordingly, the house was
darkened and no one presumed to in
trude upon the afflicted widow. Several
days elapsed but there was no funeral.
Finally the landlord went to condole
with his tenant, but had to climb the
back fence to gain entrance to the pre-
misses, which he found totally deserted.
The afflicted widow was in arrears for
rent, and under the protection of black
Grape and darkness had carried off her
household effects to part unknown.

Porter Rifles, Of Nashville, and the
Chickasaw Guards, Of Memphis, that
was to have come off at Huntsville, Ala,
last Friday, turned out complete failure,
owing to misunderstanding between
the companies as TO the minatial of the
nauoenvres on fhei field. The Porter
Rifles insisted that the drill should in

drill. The Guards declared that these
were fancy exercises and not a part of
the Company drill, and not in the or

Guards also claimed that no notice was
given them of a change of the pro-
gramme agreed to in the former contests,
and they had not made themselves pro-

misunderstood ing that brought about
the failure of what was expected to be
one of the most interesting events of the
year, was the subject of much indignant
comment from the five thousand visitors
drawn to the city.

The general impression seems now to
be that the pension agency for Virgin
la, North Carolina, Tennessee and West
Virginia will be located at Knoxville.
a press dispatch says that the president
favors Knoxville and Mr.. Schurz favors
Richmond. The contest for the agency
is said to be between Gen. Harris, of
West Virginia, and Col. Ralston, of Yir
ginia. we not only hope it may be de-
eided in favor of Knoxville, but would
be pleased to see DR.. Boynton re-appoint-
ed as chief of the agency. That the Of
foe in right and justice should be locat-
ed at Knoxville is demonstrated by a
comparison of the disbursements of the
several agencies consolidated, and as we
believe in the maxim of g to the victOrs
belong the spoils," we know of no Re
publican more acceptable to the people
he is thrown with or more competent to
discharge the trusts of the office honest
ly and satisfactorily than DR.. Boynton.
Those who are familiar with his manage
ment of the office, or know him person
alIy,Would regret to see him superseded.
Later intelligence from Washington is
to the effect that the Cabinet has decid-
ed to keep the pension agency at Knox
vile instead of Richmond, and the Pres
sident informed Virginia applicant for
the agency that if it went to Knoxville
a Tennessean would be placed in charge
of it, DIR. Boynton is the only applicant
for the office, we believe, from this State.
The Commencement Exercises at East

There were sixteen graduates who de-
livered excellent orations on popular
subjects Next in ordor was the award
ing of the famous Dickinson Medal, :"
which is the annual donation of Hon.
Pere2 Dickinson, and is always offered
as a reward for excellence in Mathema-
tics and Engineering. The contest was
among the members of the Junior Glass,
which numbers this year, nineteen, and
of that number, John B. Croker, of
Lauderdale county, was adiudged the
man entitled to received this medal. The
regular annual meeting of the Alumni
Association of East Tennessee Univer-
