ON the 9th day of March there
came to the RogersvilIe Postofice.
directed to us, under the frank Of
the Hon. Jas. H. Randolph, M. O.,
one poor, little. sickly-looking pub
lie document. 1t was the first and
only thing of the kind we have re-
ceived since the First Congressional
District has had the distinguished
honor of being represented in the
Congress of the United States by
that ripe. polished scholar and states
man. And this document was a
bloody shirt speech made by Mr.
Jimblain, of the State of Maine. We
ought to be very much obliged to the
Hon. Jas. FL. for sending US this
"dOcument'-bu somehow we amt.
Now, when Roderick was in Con-
gress he used to send US garden
seeds, books, papers, pamphlets and
lots of things, for which we always
thanked him. The fact is Butler
was the best Representative we have
ever had in that line, and we had
rather see him back there than any
in the District. He
never forgot his people and never
his partizau prejudices to
cause him to show partiality.

We don't think the present Legisla-

ness. 1t has been remOrselessly skin
ned by almost the entire press of the
State from the first day of the session to
the present time. This is not just. Let
us all wait until the work is done and
then Judge Perhaps some useful law
will be enacted. There are some hon
orabIe, sensible men in the body-A0T-
T5St0a07e Gazette.
Like the fellows cells, the Solons
are getting used to the skinning,"
and are profting thereby. As to
waiting for results, that would be
like the man who trusted to provi-
dence and an open door, but locked
the barn after the thief had made off
with his charger. There were also a
few honorable men, in Sodom, who
undoubtedly would have liked the
help of the press Of their day. We
have been holding up the honorable
men, in the Legislature, and trying
to give them a chance.-CbGttGtOOgd

of course, mixed with slate, but 1t
looks very much as if Capt. Powell
had really found the vein OF pure
coal. 1t has long been believed that
this article existed in that Valley,
and we hope, as we really believe
Capt. P. has struck the true velQ.
This Poor Valley is a wonderful
country any way. On the same
place where this coal has recently
been found, there is salt we'll, which
only needs to be opened and prop
erly worked to make it fully as val
uablesas the great King Salt Works
in Virginia. During the war the peo'
pie went Herewith their wash ket
ties aud boiling the water made as
much salt as they needed. That
same Powell place in the Valley,
will, some of these days, be Of i'm
mense value. We hope the day will
come soon.

A DEPUTY United States Marshal
went all over Hawkins county last
week and called on every Justice Of
the Peace in the county with man
darnus from the United States Cir.
cult Court at Knoxville ordering the
County Court of Hawkins county to
levy a special Tax on the people and
property to pay a Judgment render
ed against them last July for 81 800
in favor OF one Johnston from New
York or somewhere else. This judg-
ment was for coupons clipped from
railroad bonds. A special tax has
already been levied to meet the in
terest on those bonds and it was
simply putting the county to useless
cost for this "mandamus" to issue.
