~ This, from the pen of DIR. S

- This, from the pen of DIR. Sc
vier, of the Jonesborough JOnnaL,
has the clear silver ring of the true
coin: We are happy in the belief
that the repudiating sentiment of a
portion of our people, in other parts
of the State. is growing sensibly
weaker and less common. We con-
not imagine what sort of infatuation
it is that occupies the minds of those
who advocate such an ignoble aban-
donment of all that is honest and
manly-who are willing to surren-
der the glorious prestige of State
credit and character-and who would
have our people discard all of their
traditional adherence to the princi-
pies of justice, honor and truth and
plunge headlong into an abyss of
darkness, infamy and ruin. The
mere idea should be abhorrent to
the humblest citizen of the State:
for the shame which would attach to
us for a crime so fragrant and often
sive, in the eyes of the civilized
world, would prove lasting as our
own OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES by all
the rain in the pure heavens which
may fall in the centuries to come.
1t is, and should be q matter of the
most sincere regret that our Legis-
lature did not promptly accept the
offer made by the bondholders last
winter. The offer was, in every
sense, generous one inasmuch, as
it RENTED to our people some eight
or ten millions Of their Indebtedness.
Let our people, Of every party. see
to it that no one who is willing to
degrade his State and dishonor him
self by the open advocacy of the
vile doctrine, shall occupy the seat
OF Senator or Representative from
East Tennessee, in our next General
Assembly.

A line or two in our last issue amour
ced the sudden death of citizen of
Knoxville, Sunday, 18th. From the city
papers of the 18th we learn the name of
the deceased was J. T. Woodward, of
Dinwiddie county, Va. The Tribune
gives these particulars He appeared in
good health and spirits Sunday morning
and attended church, as usual. After
returning to the drug store in the after
noon, and while in company with DIR.
A. j. Campbell, in the rear of the
building, Mr.. Woodward complained of
an unusual sensation in the eye and
head, when he was advised by Dr. G.
to retire and rest. In turning to go into
the building, he fell suddenly to the
ground and remained in an insensible
condition for about three hours, when
he breathed his last. Deceased was
forty six years of age, and unmarried
He was Past Master of Blanford Lodge,
No. F. and A. NJ, of Petersburg, and
the remains were taken in charge by

Some unknown contemporary, who
knows exactly the facts in the case,
says that editing a paper is nice bust
ness. If we publish jokes, people say
we are rattIeheaded. If we omit jokes,
they say we are an old fossil. If we
publish original matter, they blame us
for not writing something they have
not read in some other paper. If we
give complimentary notice, folks will
say we are jealous. If we do not cater
to the wishes of the ladies, the paper is
not fit to tie up a parcel or make into a
hustle. If we remain in our office and
attend to our business, folks say we are
too proud to mingle with our fellows.
If we go ont they say we never attend
to our business. If we wear poor
clothes, folks say business is bad. If we
wear good clothes they say we never
paid for them. Now, what are we to
do?

AS to the State debt, 1 am opposed to
reputation. l would not have such a
stigma cast upon my State any more than
would upon my private fame. But
whilst am thus opposed to reputation,
