IA AM dA1HI ~CS' 49, AO'os
Mr. EDITOR; Chancery Court has
been in session this week, his Honor
w. B. Staley, presiding. The docket
has been passed through and cleaned
up pretty thoroughly. The Chancel-
lor is an industrious man and keeps
things going, besides he is one Of the
finest judicial officers in the State.
This Chancery Division may feel
proud in having one of so much learn
ing and ability on the bench. -..
Wednesday evening our people were
somewhat surprised by the arrest of
Mr.. R. P. Chandler, late Revenue Col
lector for our county. Ii appears that
he is a defaulter t. a Considerable
amount, aud bis sureties have paid
large sums for him, so they had q
warrant issued charging him with en-
b zzlement, which was placed in the
hands of Constable John T. Anderson,
and the arrest was made Wednesday.
The hearing is pr stponed to future
day, until which we can not express
ourselves in this manner as to his guilt
or innocence.
How about the " body snatching"
call If the Legislature Just think
of the immense expense repudiating
Memphis, with her Democratic allies,
are placing upon our State, and yet
they claim to be I" the people, Now,
let Us have "Ieform." The party of
reform" where is il? Convincing
the<peopls tn It State indebtedness can
not be paid by emptying the Treasury
in search of "bedy snatchers," and
aiding Memphis in an attempt to 1e-
pudiate her debts. w.

Says The Nashville american of
Wednesday
The stock holders of the Nashville,
Chattanooga and st. Louis Railway
have concluded the contract for the
purchase of the st. Louis aud South
eastern Railroad, between ST. Louis
and Evansville. This gives the Nash
Vile. Chattanooga and st. Louis Rail-
way Company the shortest route from
St. Louis ard Chicago via Evansville,
Owe lsboro'. Nashville and Atlanta to
the southern Atlantic seabord. Col
onel Z lie is very reticent as TO the
objective point on the sea, but many
believe that it is Savannah, that being
fiourishing city, and there beiug but
one line to pass over from Allan a to
Savannah, while the Georgia Central
Railroad Company has already several
fine steamers. Nashville is greatly
indebted to the energy, enterprise aud
promptness Of Colonel Cole in secur-
ing to our city another QUILT to- the
west, north aud south.

Appointed Missionary to Japan,

AS we learn from the Atlanta Meth
odist ADVOCATE. Rev. G. e. Long, who
has lately been made Principal of the
Powell's Valley Seminary. at Well
springs, Campbell county, has been
appointed missionary from the
Methodist Episcopal Church to Japan,
and has accepted the appointment.
He and his wife will probably sail the
first OF next year. Mr.. Long is a
promising and 'alous young minister
OF the Holston Conference. Statistical
Secretary of the same for some years.
He will no doubt make a successful
and usefur missionary, and will be
ably assisted by his accomplished
young wife.

The Best Test.

A man appeared before Bismark,
some years ago, with an armor which
be said was bullet proof. The states
man inquired. "Are you sure?" COB.
yes; perfectly sure was the reply,
"You may let one of your soldiers try
it," mo, l have better plan than
that" said the shrewd politician, "Pus
it on yourself; and doyou, turning to
a lieutenant who was in the room,
"take him down to the barracks and
fire six shots at him at short range. If
he is killed l don't want his armor !;
if he isn't I'll report the matter to
His Majesty.
The inventor was so pressed for
time that he couldn't possible com
ply, and the armor is still seeking a
purchaser.
