civilized Indians" With due re-
spect to Mir. Wilson we beg leave
to say that he must certainly have
been mistaken for the act in the
plainest terms, "Auy civilized per-
son, being a descendant Of the
Chippewas OF Lake SUPERIOR" de-
fines just what class it IS intended
to apply to. BY the way, of late it
has got to be a common practice
here for officers ard other persons
to write TO the Attorney General
about every little question Of law
that arises, and in nearly every
ease the answer Is favorable to the
view Of the party making inquiry !
If the law is a nuI!ity, means
nothing, or is unconstitutional, then
the legislature made great mis-
take in passing, and the governor
in signing 1t, and our two iawyers(0
and the Attorney General are wiser
than all the rest. 4 little time will
tell as to who is right.
We must not be understood as
desiring to Withhold The elective
franchise from civilized persons Of
Indian descent. Oar desire is quite
the reverse. Some OF our best
people are Of this race and no per
sons are better entitled to all the
rights aud privileges Of American
citizens than they. The law in
question does net take such rights
away from them Oh the contrary
il gives them, on their compIiahce
with a very simple form, ali the
rights in regard TO voting at elec-
tions and holding office tEat other
citizens have. But tlrey are not a

We had the pleasure last week to visit
the new brick yard of Messrs. W. NJ.
Wilmeth & E. Baird, located in the flat
west of the Buncombe railroad and i'm
mediately in the vicinity of the Lyle
property. A better site could not have
been selected. A superior abundance
of brick-clay is handy and branch runs
within ten steps of the mill The. yard
for laying out and drying the bricks is
almost as smooth as a floor and is well
sanded. We found Mr.. Baird at the
mill, his sleeves rolled up above the ell
bows, busy at moulding. He kept a
number Of boys moving actively in
omptying moulds and they had but little
chance for circus performances, more
than to trot back to the mill in double
quick time after sanding their moulds.
We noticed in particular that the bricks
were all smoothly moulded and laid out
on the ground with care and precision.
Other hands were engaged in different
kinds of wOrk-carrying water, feeding
the mill, preparing brick mud and haul
ing it to the mill, building kilns, ETC.
The yard presented a business activity
which filled our mind with interest and
pleasure. MIR. Baird informed us that
the yard afforded the capacity for mould
ing 5000 bricks day. We wish these
enterprising men success. A first class
brick yard is a necessity to every pub
lie spirited and intelligent community
as large as Morristown. We recon-
mend Messrs. w. & B. as such, worthy
Of patronage, and bespeak for them the
patronage of those in Morristown and
county who contemplate erecting brick
buildings. They will receive contracts
for furnishing bricks and building, and
will do the same upon reasonable and
terms.

Talking about advertisements not pay,
ing is absurd and false. They are the
best drummers in the world to call at.
tention to a mans business. An ad
vertisement which is inserted in a first
class paper with an established charac-
ter, is received at the full worth of It's
face by the peruser; besides it goes into
strange countries and into strange
hands; it is always on the alert-never
asleep-and is constantly standing open
and in bold relief, ready to catch the
eye of the casual reader for inspection
and patronage. AS an instance show
ing whether GAZETTE advertisements
sleep or not, our energetic merchant,
Will Parker, called us in a few days
ago and said GIVE just made bill of
sale to the amount of 81 by my adver-
tisement in your paper. 1t was from an
old friend residing in Granger county,
and he did not know l was doing bust
in Morristown, he said, until he saw my
card in THE MoRRIsTowN GAZETTE,
to which he was a subscriber"

Mr.. VIM. Van Huss, of this city, has
just returned from a business trip
through upper East Tennessee. While in
Jonesboro' he happened to VISIT the office
of the county court clerk, and in look
ing over an old record book he found
the following ancient document, which
we publish as taken from the book !;
civilian Rawlings estate. Filed Feb
ruary, 1779.-2 negroes, e1962; 3 horses,
e279 los; saddle and hogs, G54;
small lot hogs, e26; rifle gun, clio;
/ hat, So Settlement made by Betsy
Fawling." This exhibit of rates charg-
ed in Continental days shows a scarcity
of the necessaries of life at that period,
but remarkable ability in point of fl.
nances to meet their obligations
Mr.. v. III. represents the corn crop in
most of the sections he visited as look
ing exceedingly fine and predicts the
cTibbing of an abundance of corn in
upper East Tennessee this season and of
a first rate quality. Especially in Unicoi
county he found most excellent crop,
and the farmers are greatly reioiced
over their bright prospect. He thinks
the condition of Jonesboro' is sadly de-
moralized since the surrender Of her
charter and reported mud knee-deep in
the streets.

The Shameful Outrage recently
perpetrated upon a Northern loyal
lady with a sick husband and two
small children at AshevilIe. N. c.. is
copied prominently from the New
York Tribune by Republican journ-
ais, as another evidence of Southern
hostility to Northern men. The Tri-
bune suppresses the fact that the
perpetrator of the alleged outrage
is a Northern man, Republican, was
postmaster at Asheville under Grant
and we are informed is now in the
employ of the Revenue department.
So much for this grist from the out
rage mill We shall take pleasure
in noting the explanations made by
Southern Republican papers for Civ
ing circulation to so foul a SANDER on
the native born citizens of that Sec

ciples upon which The great mass of
the Democratic party are agreed up
on is fundamental and eteraal In
the contest of 1876 the issue was the
restoration of the government; its
practical working and administration
to Tire original ideas of its founders.
The defeat of The popular will as de-
clared in that election, has raised q
vastly greater issue; that it is the
integrity of the system of selfgov-
eminent through election by the
people. This issue transcends all
all others and it would be a betray-
al of the most sacred duty to man
kind to permit it to be sacrificed to
inferior and transient questions"

OLE SCHOOLS.

We call special attention to the
cards Of Prof. Summers, Principal of
Morristown Female High School,
and r. A. Lowry, Esq, Principal OF
Morristown Male High School. Both
of these institutions will open on the
first of September. Each school has
at its head thorough and experience
ed educators, with able and efficient
assistants. They are at our very
doors, and we all see more or less
of their conduct and usefulness ev-
cry day, yet they are not, we are
ashamed to say, valued by those
more Immediately interested as they
should be. They do not receive that
support and encouragement their
worth deserves. This town and
county could. and should, fill both
the institutions without pupil from
beyond the county bounds, No diff
ference if times are hard--the chill
dren should be educated. 1t will
not do to neglect them. Range the
whole country over and no more eli
gible place can be found than Nor
ristown for the education of your
sons and daughters. These schools
ought TO be sustained by Our people.
Thea must be sustained. If they are
not, the disgrace will be upon those
who pretended TO plant and protect
them, and then gave them the "cold
shoulder" in the hour Of greatest

Gen. Ewing, the Democratic can
didate for Governor of Ohio, con-
tends that the public debt of the
United States was never so grew
Gus a burden as it is to-day, in spite
of the so,called reduction, because
1.-The nominal reduction of $1O000,-
600 interest has been accomplished
by adding so per cent. to the amount
of labor or property which it takes
to pay it," That is to say, the
policy Of contraction by which it
was effected has reduced wages and
the value of property TO that extent.

The spirit of building new houses
and improving the capacity of our
town to accommodate new citizens
and visitors is fast taking hold Of our
people. There is not at this time,
to our knowledge, single vacant
dwelling house in our town, and we
venture the assertion that a dozen
would be filed before January if
they could be had. Our friend, Maj.
Cain, of the Cain House, is the first
to break the stagnation that has ex-
listed so long in this particular. He
was busy Monday morning superin-
tending the laying off of new brick
yard in the rear Of the hotel stable
lot, wherein 14O.0 brick are to be
immediately moulded and burnt.
These are intended for the new adj
dition to his hotel now under cou-
tract. The extension will be three
stories high, with railroad front of
80 feet. The work is all under con-
tract, and will be completed at as
early period as the extent of the
work will permit. 1t will add ma
terially TO the appearance of our
town, besides furnishing accommo-
dations 10 scores of visitors who are
now forced to other places for want
ofroom in the crowded house Major
G.. has had all summer.

DRATH or NJ. w p FARLs

His many friends in tins city and
throughout this section Of East Tennes-
see will hear with pain and regret of the
sudden death on the 9TH OF August al
Austin, Texas, of Maj. w. +. Faris.
The news of this event is regarded by
his relatives as reliable, but no particu-
lars are gwen. Maj Faris was a native
of Hawkins county, but removed with
his father to Virginia when quite young.
From Virginia the family went to Tex
as, and there resided until only the Ma
jor remained alive. In our great civil
contest the sympathies Of young Faris
we're with the Lost Cause, into whose
ranks he cast his lot, and won the repu-
tation of brave and gallant soldier, en-
terlng the service as a private and sur
rendering as an officer Of the rank of
Major of Artillery. For nearly six
