Some Plain Words to the Citi-
zenS of MOrriStOWn
To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
Several years ago a number of our
citizens combined themselves into a
company, and bought from James P.
CarrigeF the piece of ground now called
The hOrristown Cemetery"
They executed the note of the COM
pany for the price of the plat-$500,
They caused the premises to be laid
of into lots and put them upon the
market.
They caused an excellent fence to be
put up around the Cemetery.
A good road was opened to it.
A number of our citizens bought lots
and have buried their dead on those lots.
Whatever else kRa been done, the
original purchase money has not heen
paid. There is now due to AR. Oarriger
about $500
He tells me he cannot-aoiN aOt-wait
longer about this matter. Mr.. Carriger
does not demand payment in full now 1;
but as things are being conducted, he
sees no prospect of payment.
What l want to say is Just this IN
less some proper action is taken by those
who are Interested, and who ought to be
interested, about the Cemetery, it will
be land ought to beg closed up.
take the liberty TO call a meeting of
all the lot owners, at the Court House,
at candle-light an Thuraday evening
next, (alst inst, to take action in the
premises.
Be sure and remember the time and
don't forget to come. LoT OWNER.

- A writer in the Bristol Courier
says Hawkins county is very modest
in presenting candidates for office,
therefore she has only one for Chan :
cellor-F. M. Fulkerson. Esq. Let
justice be done Mr.. Fulkerson in
this matter. 1t was his own person
al worth and his commanding legal
talent, his eminent fitness for the
position, which has brought his name
before the people, and no trigger
ing on his part. The people of
other counties. knowing the man and
approaching his high qualifications,
have had much more to do with the
matter than those of Hawkins. This
old county is justly proud of some
of her sons, and she can afford to
smile quietly when envieus, Jealous
fellows look up at them and howl.
If Mr.. Fulkerson should be chosen
Chancellor, he will make a splendid
officer and the people will be the
gamer. If he is not elected. he can
make as much money as he needs
practising law.

JUDGE JOHN 4. RK1NNEY.
From the Sullivan Landmark

We desire to call the attention of
our readers. this week. to the an
nouncement of Hon. John A. Nc
Kinney as a candidate for re-elec-
ton to the Office of Circuit. Judge.
At the last election to this impor-
tant position, as our readers will re-
member, Judge Mckinney was
elected by ahandsome majority over
the Republican nominee, Hon. r.
r. Butler, and, also, Col. John
Netherland, who made the race as
an independent Democrat. Kind
and gentlemanly, yet decisive and
impartial, Judge McKinaey's rul-
ings since hi 5 elevation to the bench
has been highly commendable.
The business of the Circuit Court
has been rapidly dispatched. and
this has made him many friends,
regardless of party Affiliations, and
in this he has shown his skill and
ability as lawyer. The Judge has
also a good deal of that which is
called magnetism, and this, of itself.
is a great element of strength. be-
cause it draws to ones aid all the
power and influence of friends. 1t
is useless. too. to disguise the fact
that he Yields a great influence in
this circuit, by reason of his I'M
bounded popularity with the masses
of the people. And we want no bet
ter evidence of this fact than the
manner in which some Republican
journals have been lately assailing
him. The enemy always directs the
fire of his artillery on the position
he deems most impregnable. The
reader will understand the applica-
tiCn. Let us take all these facts
into consideration when we select a
man for this important office let
his ability be only equaled by his
popularity-both are essential to
success.

A RED-HOT CABINET ROW.
Key Threatening to Resign in
Case Of Interference in
A correspondent of the Cincir


A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, writing from Washington
on the 14th, gays that the Cabinet
discussion that day over the Return
ing Board trials, waxed so warm that
the President was obliged to sum-
marily end the session to prevent an
open rupture. Key. who has hither--
TO been a very passive factor in the
Cabinet discussions, took a very ac-
tive and positive part in the de-
bate. He took very decided ground
in opposition to Sherman and Nc
Crary. These two worthless were
eager to interfere at opee-fayored
putting down what they were pleased
10 term mob violence in New Or
leans, and a resurrection of the rebel
spirit, by the strong arm OF the mill
tary if necessary. Key opposed this
doctrine vigorously, and asserted
that the affair was State affair, and
that neither the President, the Cab
met nor Congress ought to interfere
with the course of the law in Louis
lana. The discussion was very heat
ed, and may result in a change in
the Cabinet. Indeed. Key intim ated
that If the cid policy of Federal in
reference was to be revived, he |
could not remain in the Cabinet.
The President is reported as hav-
ing said to DR.. LorIng, of Massa-
chusetts, that these prosecutions
were inspired "by the devilishness
Of the worst elements of louisiana
politics" He added that he should |
give the subject instant considera-
ton, and that he would resort to
every legal expedient to arrest any |
further prosecution of the gentlemen
to. In a conference with
several other gentlemen, the Presi-
dent expressed himself with great
and said that he was
willing to use all peaceful means to
arrest this injustice. but absolutely
refused to entertain the idea of en-
ploying force.
A telegram was received from
Gov. Nichols, disclaiming all SYM
oathy with the movement against
he Returning Board, but admitted
hat he was powerless to interfere
% prevent those who have assumed
control of the matter from carrying
1ut their purposes.

According to the vote cast for Messrs.
Randolph and Mcfarland for Congress,
at the last election, the Conservatives
are in a minority in the First Judicial
Circuit between 900 and 1000 votes.
Their minority in the First Chancery
District is still greater, being over 100.
Now in view of this fact, we would adj
wise every county in the Circuit and
District to bring out at least one candi-
date for Attorney General, Circuit Judge
and Chancellor. The prospects of over
coming the majorities against us are so
bright that we should GO crazy over the
matter and hold two or three conven-
lions and stir up all the party strife pos
sible. Then we will elect every one Of
our men--to stay home.
