After the adjournment OF Council the
other night, a little scene occurred on
the front pavement and has since ac-
quircd sufficient publicity To- warrant ITS
publication. As the members descended
the steps. the young eagle OF the Sec
ond ward and the "gjlt-edged doctor
were thrown together ami revived a dis
cuS>ion held in the Second Branch Just
previous 10 adjournment. The former
had offered an ordinance in relation TO
selling certain articles in the markets,
and the latter had riliculcd the affair,
which aroused the Eagles ire, and he in
formed the Doctor that he represented
large constituency and was not 10 be
Sneezed at. The Doctor remarked that
he would learn more as he grew older,
10 which the Eagle responded: "Not if
| follow YOU l won't; the older YOU
grow the less sense YOU have, and YOU re-
nothing but a tool, anvhow. You're
under the thumb OF that - here he
described a certain auburn-haired gem
tleman.) The interference OF friends
prevented any bloOdshed.

At the dark hour Just before dawn
Yesterday morning, an attempt was
made. and partially successful, to burg
I,rize the cigar store of +. Gruber, just
above the postotHce. The building Is 4

through which the robber entered. The
door was fastened by a bar AMI staples,
and was considered 10 be secure. But
a'immv had been inserted and iorreap-
piled which 10 tore OFT the lIntels ON
both sides and lett the door open. The
money drawer had been carried Ofwlth
some small change it contained, but the
thief was evidently no smoker aS the
number of fine cigars were untouched.
Gruber was rather surprised TO find his
back door open, but was gratltied to find
his loss confined TO a. little a. 1t was.
Nothing is vet known OF the robbers.

A Complicated Incense Question.


4 petition before Council last even
ing stirred up as much OF Il breeze as
has lately been created in that eXcita-
bile body. 1t was from several members
of the II. Alphonsus Society, and stated
that, having applied to the City Clerk
for a license 10 sell beer ut their picnic
at the Fair Grounds on August 4th,
under the ordinance, he had refused to
issue it, on the ground that matters
were then pending before Council,
which, if passed, would render such
selling illegal Wherefore, the petl-
TONERS prayed Council to instruct the
Clerk to grant them the license desired.
Immediately upon coming before the
Second Branch the question took tenn
peranCe turn, and was so argued, in
stead OF as a question OF right. Mr..
Ewing opposed it on the ground that
the Island people were OPP
posed TO the selling OF beer in
their ward Mr.. Simpson thought
that did not enter into the question
which was simply whether the petition
ers should be granted their prayer. He
thought the clerk should have taken no
cognizance of the matters pending, as,
until an ordinance is passed, it is not in
existence, and cannot, by any POSSIBLE
ity, be considered.
Nlr. Goodfellow thought differently,
In his opinion the clerk had done just
right, and he honored him for it.
Mr.. Larkin took the stand of Mr..
Simpson, as did also Mr.. Kimberley.
Upon Mr.. Ewing's motion to reject,
the ayes and noes were demanded, and
the vote was as follows:
YEAs-Caldwell b. F., Ewing, Good
fellow, Hamilton, Jefferson and Pol
lOCk-6.
NoES-Handlan, Horkheimer, Hous-
ton, Kimberley, Larkin, Meyers, Reeves,
Simpson, Voeckler and Wait-l0.
Several of the members, not wishing
to put themselves upon the record on
ANYTHING that savOred OF temperance,
proved themselves "artful dodgers. So
the motion to reject was lost, and the
petition was granted by about the same
vote.
After the adjournment the question
was renewed, several members arguing
il with the Clerk, but without COnvinc-
inc him. He had the idea firmly fixed
within his mind that ii the First Branch
adopted the pending ordinance the Ii
censcs he granted would be annulled,
and announced his intention OF granting
no such licenses without the order OF
Council. His motives were thoroughly
sincere, but it was the general opinion
that his reasons were rather fallaCious.

DEADERICK BRANNER, a young
mulatto man of Rogersville. was ar
rested few nights ago charged with
committing the robbery at the Hol-
ston House in July. He confessed
the whole thing to one George
Price, another colored man, and was
overheard by Sheriff Blevins. Not
any OF the stolen money has been as
yet recovered and Deaderick denies
any knowledge of the transaction.
He even GAYS he has no recollection
of the conversation with George
Price. Circumstances outside of
ais voluntary confession are strong
against the prisoner, as he has been
quite flush of silver money since the
robbery. Deaderick had been en-
ployed about the hotel as a servant
and had been dismissed only a day
or two before the money was taken.
We hope Messrs. Hamilton and
will succeed in securing
the lost treasure. Seven hundred
and forty dollars is large amount
to lose these hard times.

The Knoxville Tribune suggest a
meeting of the old Sixty-Third Ten :
nessee Regiment at Rogersville some
time during the summer of 1880.
We second the motion. 1t would
be treat to meet the boys Of the
old regiment once more in this life,
and to talk over the stirring Incl
dents of the war time. The truth is
the Esd has never had justice done
it in the public mind in East Ten,
nessee. 1t was fighting regiment,
not Boosting one. There were no
kid-gloved ladies' pets in the com
mand. The men we're in dead earn,
est, fighting for the cause, and not
for the notoriety. 1t went into the
tremendous battle Of Chickamauga,
if our memory is correct, with 500
fighting men. and from there Oh ~
Appomattox Court House, where it
surrendered, and turned over to
General Grant 18 guns. The great
majority of the men were in prison,
in hospital, wounded and sick or
dead on the battle-felds. Next sum-
mer, about August, we should be
glad to see the old veterans come
again in a social reunion.
Col. Fain, the first commander, is
dead; Lieut.. Col. Akin sleeps his
long sleep on the banks Of the
James, at Drewry's Bluff. But Col.
A. FuIkerson, wounded and manned.
and Lieut.. Col. w. Fulkerson, also
wounded in battle, are living. York,
Powell, Robinson, Etter and others
of the Captains are yet among the
living; while the non.commissloned
officers and private soldiers are scat
tered from Bristol TO Cleveland.
Ensign Moses and DIR. McDonongh
are a. Knoxville. All within easy
reach o: RJgersvilie, Come Oh here
next summer, boys, aud we viii have
a good time once more on the top |
side of the earth.
