lowing plan by which they could pay

"Bar-keepers in this city pay, on an

buy gallon of whisky for a beginning
and every time you want drink go 10
her and pay ten cents for it, By the

have $3.50, or enough money to refund

Under this head the Knoxville

Uuder-this head the Knoxville
Chronicle alludes CONNIE ndably to
an editorial ia the last GAZETTE in
regard TO reported efforts in this
division to impeach or remove Chan
cellor Smith; but asserts that the
movement against Smith originated
with Democratic lawyers in this dis
tricr. A well Informed and reliable
gentleman, who occupies q position
enabling him to gather more informa
tion on the question al isshe~than
we profess to have, sends us a COM
munication on the subject, from
which we copy so much as goes to
disprove the charge of Partizan
Meanness &" in the sense the Chron.
icle would have it.:
For the information of the Chronicle
and others concerned will say that the
Democratic members of the bar are as
far from giving countenance to such
movement as Republican members, and
/ assert that, as fact, the Chronicle can
not produce the names of a half dozen
respectable Democratic lawyers who
signed the petition to the Legislature
for Judge Smiths removal; but, on the
contrary, more than that number in the
town of Morristown and county Of
Hamblen, among whom is Hon. James
G.. Rose, of Democratic proclivities
signed a counter petition and wrote
strong letters to tine members of the Leg
islature requesting that body to take no
action whatever looking to the removal
of Judge Smith and endorsing him as
an honest, upright and efficient Judge.
If the ChrOnacJe will take a little pains
in getting the proper information it will
find that the move, if it can be called a
move at all, originated with about three
Republican sore-headed. lawyers, two Of
whom have been beaten by Judge
Smith-one before the people and one
before a Republican ConventioD-and
the other one not more than thousand
years ago defeated for Congress in the
First District And these three could
only get about six almost unheard of
lawyers to give them any encourage
ment at least four of whom have never
been known outside of their own coun-
ties. Not "Partizan Meanness," Mr..
Chronicle, but very small little person
al meannees of men who we are happy
to know are very sad and sore over their
failure to get any responsible number
of either Republican or Democratic law
yers to help them and, if reports be
true, have been snubbed by the Legis
maleyOlent designs thwarted.

EK-SecTetary Upsher, of Lincoln's Cab

aud he says that the Southern States
have not behaved with sincerity, that
they will not prosper until they are pa
triotic toward the whole country, and
that solid South eau never get along
alone. Mr. Upsher's opinion is that only
Lincoln's greatness could have pacifed
the South so that neither white nor black
should have suffered. Lincoln, accord
irg to Mr.. Upsher, had more respect for
Seward than for Chase. Mr.. Upsher is
with the Kansas Pacific Railroad. lie

Without disparagement to the other
twenty-five, it may not be uninteresting
to the general reader to learn that, by
those who know the outcome there is in
the men, three members Of the present
Senate are regarded as absorbing most of
the brains Of that body. While the
Honorable Richard G. Samsell is
not, perhaps, as handsome in facial ex-
preston and sdornment, nor SO imposing
in personal and moral pretensions, AS the
Honorable z. W. Ewing, nor so full Of
frolicsome, Pharaohtic gambolings as
the Honorable John HI. Savage, yet it is
conceded that in the gladiatorial con-
fiict of Senatorial intellect he may be
fairly clsssed as the equal of the latter
and the superior of the former. And it
is the fear that this astounding revelation
may induce the virtuous little Sunday
school boys and girls who have been
gathering their morals at Mr.. Ewing's
feet to suspicion him of being nothing
more than a Senatorial failure and
Sabbatarian fraud that keeps US mourn

upon Mr.. Hayes last week and presen-

cision of the Supreme Court in relation
to polygamous marriages, and TO the
effect of enforcing the act Of 1862,

Mrs. Williams and Mrs. Wells make out
statements in writing and submit them
to him. He wanted all the information
on the subject he could procure. They
promised TO do this, and Mr.. Hayes then
asked them how he could serve them.
The reply was, "By vetoing any bill to.

The Charlotte Observer gives the fol-
lowing information of the progress of
the work on the Western North Caro-
lima railroad. There remains totbe te3
moved, before the roadway is graduated
af0Ezthe- track, about I'VE thousand cubic
yards. of earth, and this consists almost
entirely of land-slides that have fallen
in on the road bed. If no further slides
occur the roadway will be ready Cor the
track to the mouth of the Swsnnanoa
tunnel in two weeks more. All the
temporary and permanent trestle work
is done on the mountain section except
one, hundred and fifty feet long, and
another of about equal length, nsarly
finished, and both will be completed in
week r
In the Sw&nnanoa tunnel there re-.
mains a hundred and fifty lineal feet of
the heading to be taken out before day
light is let through. Then the bench,
for two hundred and fifty feet, taken
out, win complete the big tunnel. They
are progressing at the rate of twenty
five feet a week with the heading, and
the whole can be completed in from six
weeks to two months. AS soon as the
track-laying reaches the Swannanoa tun-
mel, a tramway will be lead on the
bench, and iron transported through on
it, and four miles of track laid on the
road now ready on the western slope,
toward Ashville, and by the time the
cars can pass through the tunnel there
will be six or seven miles Of track laid
in Buncombe, so that by the 1st.Or mid
die of March passengers and freight can
be. transported at Stepp's House, in the
neighbOrhood OF Black Mountain Sta
ton Fears are entertained, however,
of further sliding, as a movement has
been going on for year past involving
five or six acres of mountain slide at
Mud Cut, and the track has several
times been open only to fill up again.
The work already done on land slides in
the mountain section would, it is said,
have graded the road to Asheville. But
if the cars sre once got to running
through the sliding cuts, the force of
hands will be able, with the help of the
construction train, to keep the roadway
open. The work of grading is progress
ing quite rapidly. beyond the ridge on
toward Ashevllle, and once across the
mountain there are no serious obstruc-
tions in the way of satisfactory pro-
gress of the Western North Carolina

A contemporary propounds q few
questions to the young man who has not
yet turned over a new leaf' as fol-
lows: young man, how much money
have you spent during the past year
foolishly? Can you count up on your
fingers the number of dollars you have
extravagantly thrown awayY If you had
in hand the amount of money that you
have spent for cigars, wine, oyster sap
pers, and the like of that, what could
you buy with it now? Do you propose
to follow in the same old groove or do
intend with the New Year TO begin in
reality a different mode Of lifeg What
satisfaction do you resp from these in
dulgences when they are all gone, and
how long do such pleasures last your
