DIR @. T. MAGEE.

On Thursday of last week, DIR. G.
T. Magee left our town for his new
home in Monroe county. His family
haye not gone, but are to follow the
Doctor in few weeks. DR.. Magee
has lived in our communityfor twelve
or fourteen years-long enough for
everybody to learn that he is gen.
tleman in the very highest sense OF
that term-long enough for every
honest man to learn to respect and
love him as a friend and neighbor-
long enough for every christiansto
learn to recognize in him an earnest
co.worker. Sc long, indeed, that his
departure leaves a vacant place here
that will not be filed as he flied it
in long years to come. As a physi,
clan he enjoys in this community an
reputation, and as a citizen
no man stands higher. His depart.
ure is universally regretted. 1t is
useless for us to bespeak for him a
favorable reception among his new
leighbors, for it will not be long till
hey will have learned of him what
ais neighbors here all know.

ORR BOB's FIRST SPEECH.

In the House of Representatives,
on the 18th, in committee of the
whole on the legislative bill, the
pending question being on Mr..
Bragg's motion to insert clause re-
pealiDg the law creating the South
ern claims commission and the sub
stitute therefor, offered by Mr..
Young, ofTennessee, abolishing the
commission, but transferring the
claims now pending before it to the
court of claims, Mr.. Taylor said:
1 represent a constituency which was
as true to the Union, as true to the flag,
as the constituency represented by the
gentleman frem Wisconsin Bragg. If
he means to intimate that the people of
East Tennessee were not loyal to the
flag, and that they were enemies to the
Government, then in the name of the
80, 600 soldiers who fought under the
Union, and in the name of the people
whom ! represent, I hurl it back in his
teeth. Laughter and applause

Cleveland. Banner: The farmers of
East Tennessee should be content with
their situations-they have good coun-
try, if they but knew it. 1t is true we
have some poor land, but where is the
country under the sun that does not
have poor land, and many of them twice
as much as East Tennessee :? East Ten
nessee's prospect for good wheat crop,
excels that of the two other divisions of
the State-her grass and clover crops
are abundant and look promising. We
can grow everything here, like provis-
ions, and if we do not have so much
as. other sections, we do not have
need for as much. We have plenty of
good horses, mules and cattle, and plen-
ty to feed man and beast, and some TO
spare. This being so, we would like to
knew where a man can find a better and
more plentiful country to live in than
East Tennessee. Let well enough alone,
md stay where you are, is our advice to
Ill.

A gentleman travelling with Gener
al Grant, writes home that the gener-
al says that he will not be candidate
for President under any circumstan-
ces. He is aware that his name is
freely used in the American papers
in that connection, but not in a way
that he thinks at present justifes
him in making public declaration
of his intentions. When the time
comes, as this gentleman believes,he
will decline in such a way that there
may be no installing his meaning.

There is one point which the stalwarts
overlook but which is very significant.
| After a close search through the long
list of Southern newspapers for express
sions of crazy lnalevolence and section
al spite but one such expression has
been found, and that in an obscure vii
lage sheet edited by a confidential cor
respondent of Congressman Frye, of
Maine, who is strongly suspected of be-
ing pensioner of the Republicans. On
the other hand, the widest outbursts of
the Okolona Southern States are tame
compared with the language and senti-
ments employed and cherished by a
great majority of Northern Republican
papers towards the South. In modera-
ton and dignity the Southern Demo
cratic statesmen and editors so far have
decidedly the advantage of their Repub-
lican brethren at the North. Only yes
terday in the House Mr.. Chalmers, of
Mississippi, moved for committee of
Union soldiers, majority of whom
should be Republicans, to investigate
and report whether he had or had not
been guilty of conduct unbecoming an
officer and a gentleman at the battle of
Fort Pillow. His reason for this was
that in the Cincinnati Gazette he had
Just found himself described as zone of
the notorious and bloody-handed MUIR
deTers of the forever Infamous Fort Pill
low massacre" Now the Cincinnati
Gazette is not, like the Okolona States, an
obscure journal of small circulation in
an Out-Of-the way corner of the country.
1t is a journal of Importance in a great
city. Fortunately for Mr. Chalmers
this attack has afforded him an opportu-
nifty, to which Mr.. Garfield had the can
dor to admit he was entitled, to call for
a thorough review of report made in
the heat of the civil war by a commit
tee of the Thirty eighth Congress, and
it may therefore lead in the end to clear
ing up false and mischievous impress
sions. But was that the object with |
which the Cincinnati Gazette used it p
NeC York WOr'd.
We have not a word to offer in de-
tense Of Mr.. Chalmers. He stands
before the patriotism and intelli-
gence of the country Bayard-sans
oear ct sans reproche. But we will
say: IF some patriot would put a
half pound dose of buckshot in the
carcass of the crazy carpet Dagger
Who edits the Okolona (Miss.) States,
oosterity would call his name bless
,d-even if he were not cauonized.

Perhaps as romantic and remarkable a
marriage as ever occurred in the country,
took place on the 10th instant, at Glosta-
bury, Connecticut. Miss Julia f. Smith,
sole survivor of the Smith sisters, ia
nous throughout the country for the
repeated sales of their Alderuey cows to
meet taxes, which they refused to pay
because they could not vote, was mar
ried to Amos G. Parker, of New Hamp-
shire. He was n widower, is lawyer
by profession and Of the same age as his
bride-eighty-six years. The affair has
created much talk, and the only reason
assigned is that Miss Smith, having lost
all her relatives, did not wish to be left
dependent on the kindness Of strangers
in her closing years. She has a large
estate, the accumulations of the entire
family having come into her hands as
the several members successfully passed
away. Mr. Parker is represented as hale
and hearty, while his bride is sallow,
wrinkled and bent with the weight Of
years.

Introduce to the intelligenta and ignorant
people of this town-if there be any OF
the latter-the best selected and most
complete stock of family groceries ever
offered this community. The price will
be so astoundingly low for the superior
quality of the goods, that you would
rather ask him to give a bill of sale 10
you for nothing than ask him To knock
off one cent from his marked price.
Don't forget to call on him and examine
his stock of coffees aud sugars, teas, salt,
flour, bacon and lard, candies, canned
fruits, and everything found in a first
class grocer's store.

In company with several others from
Morristown, we had the pleasure of at
tending an entertainment given last
Saturday night at Messy Creek by the
Star Minstrel Troupe, a company Of
amateurs composed of the young men OF
that place. Though the evening was
very unfavorable, nevertheless quite
respectable house greeted the troupe.
AS a minstrel entertainment, and as
minstrel performers, the young men
made quite creditable effort, and many
were the times the audience was brought
down ia roar after roar Of laughter. All
in all it was irst-rate entertainment,
and afforded much amusement TO all
present. We understand that the Com
pany contemplate coming to Morristown
before long and doing" the town for a
night or two. We do not wish to dis
courage the boys, but would not advise
them to come just at the present time,
as the memory of poor Clark--the fun

might fail to give that patronage which
would insure the affair success We

ing help to return home. All Of them
will be similarly enlightened when they
reach their journeys end" The ST.
Louis Globe Democrat, good Republican
authority, also reports that some of the
victims of the Kansas fever are very sick
of it already, and are longing to Ego
home" again. Three Of them returned
to their former residences in Madison
parish, La, few days ago, the means
having been furnished them by their
lale employers. These denied that they
had been i'll treated in Louisiana, and
said that they habitually voted the re
publican ticket without molestation.
These men had voluntarily called on a
firm of St. Louis cotton brokers and
asked to have their passages paid for the
homeward voyage. They said they had
no particular reason for leaving the
South except that they'd "hearn tell'
of Kansas, and "as de people was.talkin'
about comm" they 'jest bundled up
their things and come along They
had been sick ever since they came to
St. Louis, and were very eager to get
back. One of them said he meant to
warn "alI de folks" against turning their
faces up the river and looking for Kan
sas. When he was home, he said, 81

and pillow, and everything, and could

Folks in the North don't want you mig
gahs, and don'r you 60" There is in
deed proof that "folks in the North" do
not want the colored emigrants, At
meeting recently held in Wyandotte,
KS, where there are twelve hundred of
these expatriated freedmen, destitute
and suffering, it was declared and re-
solved that the community was not able
to take care of the emigrants any longer,
and the State authorities were called
upon for aid, OF course there are no
Government lands in any accessible sec
ton for these people to take up, and the
claim of the "Colored Colonization So
ciety" of Topeka that quarter sections
of good soil are in its control for gratu-
itous distribution III close proximity to
that city is as utterly false as all the
other statements made in the circular.
