In Memorv Of Elias r. smith,

Who was born in the State of New York,
the 18th day of October, 1851, and who died
at his residence in the city of GAINESVILLE,
Tenn, at 2:30 o'clock a. m. the 18th of Sep
tember, of cerebro-spinal meningitis.
The subject of this notice came among us
more than four years ago, as an employe OF
the L. & n. r. r., and by an honorable and
faithful discharge of all the relations of life,
endeared himself to all those with whom he
came in contact. He was courteous, affabIe
and generous; in every sense man in
whom the community had confidence, and
of whom his friends and kindred might
well be proud.
The societies knights of Honor and Ma
sQns) of which he was faithful and devoted
member, have sustained an irreparable loss,
the L. d n. II. r. an earnest and conscien-
tious servant, and the community an hum
BILE yet honored person, who, while living
here, secured for himself good name, w hich
is far preferable to great riches.
1t IS with sincere sympathy that we turn
to the grief-stricken widow and child of our
departed brother. We commend them, in
this, the time of their greatest trouble, to
the care of Him who tempers the wind to
the shorn lamb, and entreat that this dis
pensation of His providence may result in
good to them.
Resolved That the usual badge of mourn
ing prescribed be adopted By our lodge, in
token of a kindly remembrance for our
brother; that copy of these proceedings be
furnished the city papers for publication,
and aeopy forwarded TO the family Of Broth
er Smith. TH0S. NJ. ATKINS, Chm.

1t will be inferred from our lead
ing editorial that we are now return
ing to the systematic discussion of
the political questions of the day /;
in short, that we consider the cam
paign for the next Presidential
election commenced, and are pre-
pairing to take our part in it. Ignor-
ance of the great constitutional
questions now at issue, or inatten-
ton to them, can only be persisted
in at the imminent peril of our lib
critics and OF all that is left to us OF
a constitutional, representative Gov
eminent. We therefore urge upon
our readers, and en- all whom we
can reach who at present are not
our readers, to commence with us
the serious study of the momentous
issues which will be decided by the
vote of November, 1880, so as 10 be
prepared to appreciate intelligently
their vast importance. The CHRoN.

THE TROUBLE IN COLORADO.

The massacre of Major Thorn
burgh and his command seems to
arise from the same cause as all 9TH
err events of the same kind. Indians
have lands assigned to them which
are secured to them by solemn treat
les; then, the secured lands being
found valuable, the white settlers
lawlessly take possession of them.
Then troubles, quarrels, murders be-
tween the two races; then the army
is called in to back the lawless
whites, and massacre results. And
now the people of Coloradoare clam
Oring that the Indians must go,
treaty or no treaty. So in CalifOr-
MIA it is contended that the Chinese
must go, treaty or no treaty. Cali
fOrnia and Colorado are both Re
publican States; both turned up
the whites of their eyes, because
civil rights were denied in the
South to all but white men; they
are doing exactly the same thing,
and, moreover, multiplying treaties
and laws of the United States. Cor
ollary: Republcanism is a hum
bug, if that needed demonstration.

Quarterly Meeting of the County
Court.

\ very full meeting of the County
Court took place on Monday, the
9th inst. As the question of the
bond to be given by the Judge of
the County Court as financial agent
of the county was by far the most
prominent matter before the Magis-
trates, we propose to pass over most
of the routine business transacted
and to give our attention to that
question.
The issue made was on the ques-
ton whether the Judge of the
County Court ought to give bonds
covering all the funds which come
into his hands as financial agent OF
the county, or simply such as would
cover his responsibility as County
Judge, leaving the large funds in
his custody as financial agent unse-
cured. As much warmth was ellie
tied during the discussion, which
we could not help thinking out OF
place in a question purely of law,
we think it best to lay before our
readers the statutes upon which the
Law in the question depends, to-
gether with the action of the court
in the matter.
The law in reference to the mat
ter down to the session of the last
Legislature in the present year was
comprised in Sections 421 and 42fa
