TRENTON.

Circuit Court is in session, Judge
Black presiding.
We dined last Monday at that ele>
CANT hostelry, the Hicks House, one
of the best hotels in the state.
A very large number of people at
tended court at Trenton last Monday,
and we think nearly one>half of them
were candidates.
A county tax of forty cents on each
one hundred dollars was assessed by
the Court last Monday. 1t is thought
this will about pay the county out OF
debt.
Among the distinguished visitors
at Trenton last Monday were Hon.
WV. Vaughn, of Brownsville, Judge
Read, of Bells, and Wis Williams, of
Humboldt.
A county convention to appoint
delegates to the state judicial conven-
ton, which meets in Nashville on the
29th of May, will be held in Trenton
on the first Monday in next month.
The districts are requested to send up
delegates. For our part, We are will
for the lawyers to appoint the dele
gates and make the nominations for
Supreme Judges. They know best
who are competent and it is to their
interest TO have them elected.
The Quarterly Court last Monday
levied a tax Of twenty cents on each
one hundred dollars, one dollar on
each poll and the same on privileges
as last year, for school purposes. In
our opinion, it would have been bet
ter to have levied nothing at all.
The farce Of taxing the people to run
little one-horse schools three or four
months in the year, thus breaking up
worthy private schools, should be
stopped. The public school system Of
Tennessee is a disgrace to the state
and great injustice to Taxpayers
and children.
The stockholders of the Tennessee
Central Railroad held q meeting in
Trenton last Friday for the purpose
of eiecting directors and looking after
the interests ef that corporation. The
following gentlemen were elected;
DR. NJ. d. l.. Jordan. W. y. vii p,
hanson, j. Ii. Glass, W. 4. Cooper,
w. T. Banks, J. +. Robertson and
Albert Lea. We understand that
number Of business men in Nashville /
are willing to subscribe liberally to- /
ward the completion of the road. /
Nashville wonld certainly derive |
great benefit from it, as she would Sc (
cure the trade of Milan, Trenton and .
a large number Of smaller towns. /
An earnest effort, we believe, would |
soon complete this important line to
Trenton.
From the Trenton Mirror.
A fellow by the name of O. \. /
Topped forged the names of Adam
Davis and William Campbell, School
Directors in the fourteenth district, to /
an order on our Trustee, Long, and it
was paid, although Stephen Lett, the
Secretary, refused to sign the order,
The Murphy movement is still pro-
gressing here, and new speakers are
actively engaged in the work, amongst
whom are John w. Cox and G. B.
Hicks. We understand they have
each made several effective speeches
to both white and black audiences.

Our friend A. S. Davis, Of McLe-

He is a beauty, and as gentle as a cat.

string connecting the mouth pieces
was about one hundred and fifty feet

attracted a large crowd. 1t was con-
structed out of two empty fruit cans
fastened in cigar boxes. One end of
each can was covered with sheep skin,
with hole punctured for the string
to pass through.

Drawing . Badger.

Recently one Of the minor theatres was
subjected to the rod Of critical discipline
in the columns Of the Tribune. Imme-
diately the manager stopped his advertise
ment, and was assured in editorial CON-
ment on his conduct that the opinions of the
critic were not to be affected by such pro-
ceeding. He replied that he did not expect
to coerce judgment in that way-he only
hoped for little obscurity-and if he did
not advertise the critic would not know of
his poor little place and would not point out
its shortcomings to the public. Can this also
be the theory upon which the advertisement
of Booths Theatre is now kept out of the
columns Of the Euening Post? Does that
establishment hope for obscurity like the
smaller one on the same avenue? or does
it take the ground that the price
of a theatrical advertisement inserted in
one column entities the payer to one first
rate article, resplendent with puffery, in
another column, and does it mean to fight
the Post terribly on that line? Generally
that is the theory when ''this establishment
does not advertise, &C., and we hope that
no feeble truce will come about through a
misunderstanding. Any real, lively skir-
mish on this point between good theatre
and paper that justly plumes itself on
critical excellence is entertaining to the
public and of great professional interest, and
we hope the Post will not assume that
Booths wants obscurity, and help them to
it through iorgctfulness. We have congrat-
ulated our contemporary on its opportunity
to draw this badger, and we hope it will go
in and show it's game.
The New York herald., 1878-10-08
The War In Afghanistan n.

Jamrood, at one end of the Khyber Pass,
is twenty-six miles from Dhaka, at the other
end and at the latter place some forces Of
the Ameer of Cabul are concentrated, while
some Of England's Hindoo soldiers are at
the former. In fact, therefore, in view Of
this proximity Of hostile forces, collision
may be regarded as imminent, and the re-
port already sent from India, and also
already contradicted, in regard to the storm
ing of Ali Musjid seems to imply that the
Indian troops are on the march to force
the pass. Ali Musjid is q fort in
the pass, five miles from the main
entrance. 1t had been dismantled in
former times and reconstructed; and its
capacity for resistance is therefore some
what doubtful. Should the place be
stormcd the advance will secure point of
Importance in the prosecution of their
march; but i does not follow that they will
be safely through the pass. On the other
hand an Intellectual attempt to storm it
would be an unpleasant incident in a very
precipitate advance. British officers have
painful cause to know the difficulties Of
the way from Peshawur to Cabul, and it
would not seem likely that they should fall
into rash blunders at this time if it were
not we'll known that the experience of
former wars goes for little in cases Of this
nature.

Tho Approaching Opera.

If the public is still ignorant Of the mer-
its and intentions OF the Mapleson Opera
Company il is, so far ms the newspapers are
concerned, the public's own fault. Our

isons, anecdotes and q hundred trifes that
become of interest upon the approach of
so important musical event. 1t has been
