Among the stories going the
rounds about Senator Chandler is
one illustrating his bluff manners.
He was much chagrined at the Presi-
dents neglect of him after the in
auguration, and had hoped for a
place in the Cabinet. In his disap-
pointment he refused for many
months to go to the White House.
Finally he went. Shortly after his
return from a trip home as Il private
citizen he met the President, who
grasped his hands warmly, and
with an air of patronage said:
"Well, Chandler, | suppose your
old constituents were glad to well
come you home again"
eyes, Mr.. President" Chandler
replied, 81 met with but one man
who seemed disconnected. He is
an old Republican, and taking my
hand on seeing me, he said: Chan
dler, l believe you are an honest
man: you never did steal anything
but the Presidency, and that, as it
turns out, is only pretty larceny
Confidential relations were not re-
sumed oh that day.

upon, just asfhe Republican party
here welded a solid South so long
as the Southern vote was given ex-
clusively BY negroes and carpet
baggers. Not only then did the
great Wing families find themselves
excluded from their share Of the
great offices of State, but the whole
English and Scotch people found
that the Guelphic Kings could make
themselves as absolute as the Stu
arts had been before them by playing
off solid Ireland against any pre-
ponderance which the opposition
might otherwise attain against
them. Not only the Wing aristoc-
racy, therefore, but gradually the
whole English and Scottish nation
was gradually arrayed against the
system, and in the end there was a
majority for Catholic emancipation
large enough to connterbalance even
the solid Irish vote, together with
whatever votes the Government
could command through their con-
troll of the rotten boroughs. Ireland

Kn0xVille's Business.

A Knoxville correspondent of Brls-
tolls new paper, the Reporter, has the
following to say about our business
prospects, ETC.:
Knoxville merchants report business
as booming. The city continues to
build and improve; the splendid new
Hattie Hotel on the corner of Gay and
Clinch streets is nearing completion.
Knoxville's merchant prince, MI. Jas
D. Cowan, has built a magnificent res
idence in the southern suburbs of the
city, costing about $100, 600. It is q
palatial pile and is no doubt the finest
residence in the South. Work is pro-
crossing on the new Waterworks and
also on the new Gas Works. A move.
ment is on foot to build a railroad from
Knoxville to Emory Gap, to connect
with the Cincinnati Southern Rail
road, which, If done, will vastly in
crease the mercantile and manufacture
ing prosperity of the mountain city.

"Piuafo.e,, ana .Chtmes.,'

Yesterday afternoon the good ship
"Pinafore" sailed into the matinee,
witnessed by a large and admiring
crowd. Captained by Kendall's "Cor-
coran," and under the supervision of
Buckeyes 'Sir Joseph" and his sis
tors, cousins and aunts, with Fay's
" Ralph" in the rigging, Alice Vane's
"Josephine' in the cabin, Isabel
Vane's Little Buttercup" on the
main deck, and with Cranes "Dick
Deadeye'' to keep the whole crew
stirred up, it could not be anything but
a triumphant entry.
Last night there was given a double
bill, the first act of "Pinafore" and
the first two acts of the "Bells OF
Corneville." This presented an entera
tainment well worth listening to. The
actors and actresses 1--WE beg the ladies'

sustained the reputation they have
hitherto gained in Knoxville. Fay's

exquisite, with much emphasis or
the second syllable. Alice Vane was
suffering from the effects Of a bad cold
and consequently not in very good
trim. We have said nothing about the

Mr.. EDITOR Our school closed here
this week very abruptly. On Tuesday
night the teacher and scholars left as
usual, but when they came to school
Wednesday morning, there was no
school house, no books, etc. The build
ing had burned down during the
night, supposed to have caught from
the fireplace. Hope now we will have
a new and better one.
People are now very busy getting
their corn, potatoes, etc., secured for
the winter. Wheat is looking fine.
We are sorry to say one of our best

very low with lung disease; has been
down some two weeks. All are
anxious to hear of his recovery.
