LETTER HRoM CLAIBORNE.
HORNE COUNTY, TENN.


--aA4A- 49, Sept. 10th, 1878. @.a.--
To the Editor Of the Morrlstown Gazette:
Our Circuit Court met the list Mon
day. A large crowd in attendance. Mai
Pettibone was on hand and endeavored
to convince the sovereigns that he was
the proper man to represent them in the
National Legislature He failed miser-
ably The citizens of Claiborne are
tired of the everlasting 'ebalderdash" of
blood and war. We had hoped, from
what we had heard Of the Major, that
he would not wear the ''5lood stained
garment.p but--well. they all do it.
Henry Patton was on hand, and let
me say here that he is as popular as
ever. know leading Republicans who
win support him, his course being such
that he is ever adding to his list friends
that are true. We had hoped that r.
L. Taylor would be on hand, but he
failed to put in an appearance. But he
will be our next Congressman. Mark
that. I think from present indications,
that we have good thing in this Con
gressional district So far as my obser-
walton extends, the people are satisfied
with Taylor and will give him their
hearty support. sesfF 8, 5egne
[ know that Henry Patton is the
choice of the people for Senator. He is
certainly gaining strength daily. By
his gentlemanly department and upright
dealing with his fellow citizens, he has
endeared himself not to the Democracy
or Republicans, but to the people, ire
spectiye Of party. and in November
they win give an emphatic expression
of that sentiment. Don't be mistaken.
1t is to be Taylor and Patton this time.
No mistake.
We have nothing stirring in our eoun-
ty at present There is considerable
excitement over the murder of Edward
Jackson, who was killed fortnight
ago, across the line, in Whitly county,
KY, by parties from Tazewell.
There has been a great deal of SICK
ness in this county during the last
two months, and many deaths.
1 will give, you an occasional letter
during the canvass. CLAIBORNE.

The Governor of Ohio has called
on the people of his state to observe

in sackcloth and ashes for the same
purpose?

General Assembly Mr.. Shelly is clev-

it not for what he calls his devotion to
orthodox Republicanism-which means
up this way fewer greenbacks and more

become their representative, as he has
already filled positions of as much re-

Tennessee, accompanied by some trusty
men, set out last week to capture Adam
Wilson, oneof the Afnarine gang of IL
Iicit whiskey outlaws, and connected
with the murder of John Cooper After

prising Wilson at the house of q Mr..
Fowler, in Graham county, NJ about
five miles from the Blount county line.
When they come upon Wilson he was
engaged in bottoming a chair. Mr.

was SO taken by surprise that, although
he had pistol buckled around him, he
made no show of resistance The pris-
oner was taken to Robbinsville and
placed in jail. Mr.. Webb is the man
at whose house John Cooper died. He
knew Wilson well, and there was no
difficulty as to. ibis Identification. Will

aa Sept. II, 1878.
To the Editor of the ATorristown Gazette:
Last Tuesday night, Sept. 10th, saw
what was to me, new and strange phc-
nomenon, to-wft, rasn56ao at eight O'Clock
at night
You will remember that on that night
the moon was nearly full, and except
ing few scattering clouds, the sky was
clear. About s o'clock in the night,
there occurred right sharp shower Of
rain from a small cloud, and the moon
still shining so bright, caused me To
look to the west, with the thought, that
if a rainbow at night was possible, /
would surely see one, when sure enough
there it was not a bright, brilliant CO.
ored bow as it would be in the day
time, bnt a dim, pale streak, bending
across the Heavens, perfectly in the
shape of a raiAbow. The shower Of
rain lasted only a half minute or so,
when my strange rainbow faded away,
and was gone. Being no astronomer, I
have 40 comments to make, but can
only vouch for the facts. E 81.
Respectfully, CLINcH.
