DIR. ShipIeY to Contest.

Mr.. EDITOR: A sensation has it
that DR.. E. G. Shipley will contest the
seat of Mr.. Caltsr, who, it has been
TODD, was elected to the senate
from the sixth district.
The grounds of contest are said to
be that Monroe county had no legally
qualified sheriff at the time the elece
ton was held. In other words, the
sheriff who assumed to act was not
indicted into office until the 18Th of
November. Assuming that the facts
are as giver, there can be no doubt Of
the election of Shipley as Gait RS ma
jority in Monroe county was over 300,
which if rendered Void and thrown
out, would elect Shipley by over 200.
Since writing the sensational"
may state that have just seen a let
ter from DR.. Shipley, addressed to our
sheriff, stating that it was his purpose
10 contest, on the grounds indicated
above. Hurrah for MAYNARD!

THERE are quarrels, for which, in
common with mankind in general,
We must confess we have an admira-
ton. One of these is that now
going on between the opposing fac
tons of the democratic party in
New York. Samuel J. Tilden was
not slow, when they first ascer-
tanned that Gen. Hancock was de-
feated, in attributing the pleasing
result to John Kelly's influence.
Not satisfied to enjoy such an honor
all alone, Mr.. Kelly reciprocated
and gave the credit to Tilden and
his friends. He presents an ex-
haustive analysis of the vote of
New York in support of his theory.
In quite an elaborate letter just
published in the New York papers,
he shows that he is not the "traitor"
to democracy that he is charged
with being. Neither Mr.. Kelly nor
his enemies have given the reason
why Gen. Hancock was defeated,
but the quarrel is pretty one, and
there is no reason, SO far as We
know, why it should not be kept
going.

rs the Exclamation OF all Who En-
ter Ogden Bre.'s Book Store.
Never before in the history of this
house, though always a good place
to get Christmas presents, have they
made such display as this year.
There is something beautiful and
useful to attract the eye, no matter
in what direction of the room it may
be cast. The very first thing that
attracts your attention when enters
ing is the fine display of the very
handsomest and costliest of steel
engravings, the finest selection ever
Witnessed in Knoxville. Then cast
your eyes upon the counters, and
behold the rows and stacks of
beautiful books for the hoi-
day trade, books of a grave
and profound nature, humorous
books, books for the young
and for the old, in fact for all class
es. Then their immense stock Of
Photograph and Autograph Albums,
Scrap Books, Gift Books, Russian
Leather Pocket Books, and other
Russian Leather Goods. Then their
display of Papeteries, all styles and
qualities, Gold Pens and Pencils,
and goods of that style, Silk Velvet
Picture Frames, mounted in silver
and gold, and many articles in that
line. Then they have large stock
of all kinds of Parlor Games to
amuse young and old, Picture Books,
and a certain class of Toys for
children. In fact you can find a
present there suitable for any man,
woman or child, and feel assured you
will please the recipient of the same.
We advise our readers all to give
them call, feeling confident that
none will regret having done 80.

LINDSEY'S PHOTOGRAPH GAL-
LRKY,
And His Specimen of work.

Mr.. It. Fl. Lindsey's AIT Gallery, on
third floor, over Ogden's book store, is
an interesting place to visit. You can
spend an hour there very pleasantly
in looking at familiar faces, specimens
of Mr.. Lindsey's work in his chosen
profession, and you can not help but
admire his skill as an artist. His
photographs are very fine indeed, and
he makes them all sizes and styles,
thin Porcelains. Pearltypes and Gems
are sPecialties with him, and Crayon
Sketches are not out of his line. He
has beautiful stock of Photograph
Frames, and we were compelled to es-
pecially admire the silk and velvet
frames. Call and see his specimens
Of work, and If you want a good pic
ture, leave your order.

THURSDAY, DEC. %. 1880.
THAT CONFEDERATE MONEY.

In opposing the payment of the
4" Torbett issues of the Bank of
Tennessee we are met with the arr
gument that this is purely legal
question that it has been before
the courts !; that they have virtually
decided that these notes are charge
upon the state, and by the terms of
the charter Of the Bank of Tennes-
see, they must be received in pay
nent of taxes. We deny that the
facts are that way. A case went to
the supreme court from Jackson,
we believe. AS attornies for the
state, Messrs. Wilson and Savage
made about eighteen issues, One
of these was that the notes Aad been
issued in aid of the rebellion. The
case went to a jury, and a verdict
was rendered upon nearly all the
issues, against the state and in favor
Of the new issue note-holders. But
upon the issue that the notes were
issued in aid of the rebellion there
was no finding by the jury.
Now, we insist that this question
must be decided. 1t is the paras
mount issue in the case. Let case
be made up in Eastern Tennessee,
where the sympathies of the people
were against the rebellion. Then
let all the facts be developed. Let
the case be managed BY some law
yer of ability, who is willing to
elicit proof that these notes were
issued for unlawful and rebellious
purposes. Then have a verdict
from an impartial jury. Before the
case goes to the court of last resort
We insist that all the facts that can
possibly be brought out shall be de-
veloped. If this can be done, we
are certain that the courts will de-
eide that these "new issues" are
null and void, having been issued
for an unlawful purpose, and thai
the people are not bound to pay
them.
The people of East Tennessee are
ayerse to their payment. They DE-
not relish the payment of deb
created largely in expressing then
and hunting them down becaus,
they would not join in a crusad,
against the government they loved
They are opposed to the paymen

THE CLOTHING EMPO-
RUM OF KNOXVILLE.
A Visit to the Largest Cloth
ing House of East
Tennessee.
Robert Vestal & Co.

While looking over the immense
stock of Clothing now on hand at
this Emporium of Fashion, we were
at loss to know where the custom
ers were to- come from to exhaust
the supply, but when told of their
wholesale trade and over what ex-
tent of country it extended, the
mystery was at once explained.
THEIR TRADE
extends over not only East Tonnes
see, but southwestern Virginia, North
Carolina, and portion of Georgia.
MR.. RoBT. vEsTAL,
the purchasing member of the firm,
makes several trips east during the
year, thereby insuring constant
stock of the latest styles. At pres
ent they have on hand very large
stock of Overcoats, Dress Suits, &C.,
that they offer at exceedingly low
prices. At prices that will compare
with the eastern houses.
PRICES.
Mr. Vestal informed us that until
January the first he would sell at
very reduced figures. He says he
means business and will sell.

partner of the firm. He
adapts himself perfectly to the
business. being patient and courte-
Gus to all. III ....-.
MIR. WILLIAM vESTAL

establishment, and is one of the most
obliging statesmen of our city.
MR.. JOHN t. SMITH,
who has been engaged for several
years in the clothing business, is
now at this house, where he will be
glad to receive his friends and take
pleasure in showing them through
the stock. Mr.. Smith is one of our
most popular salesman, and is fast
becoming a favorite on account of
his perfect afability.
JNo. G. BROWN,
recently of Cleveland, Tenn, is also
engaged at this place, and will take
pleasure in showing the people
around.
MR.. VIM. BAUM,
young man of Knoxville, who has
recently become engaged with this
house, is ready and anxious to ex-
hibit to all who may call the immense
stock at hand.
THE Furnishing GOODS,
consist of every thing to be found in
frst-class Gentlemen's Furnishing
House. They have a very large
stock of shirts which they will sell al
very low prices up to January LIST
The prices, we are sure, will aston
ish any who may be pleased to cal

THE scene in the house of repre-

The scene in the house of repre-
sentatives on Tuesday, a brief res
port of which appeared in our dis
patches yesterday morning, was
disgraceful in the extreme. It has
the appearance of converting the
hall of the house into prize-ring,
where roughs and DULLES may test
their muscle by pounding each other.
The members of the house who
have respect for their own honor
and the honor of the people they
represent, should see that the offend
ing members are expelled at once.
People can not have respect for
laws passed by body which allows
scenes to go unn oticed that would
disgrace ffth-rate bar-room.

University of Tennessee.

A private letter to gentleman con-
nected with the University, from q
membe of the board of visitors, gives
the gratifying information that the
report of the visitors to the governor is
highly com mandatory OF the present
condition and prospects ofthe Univer-
sity, and that the board were earnest
and enthusiastic in their work. We
learn that the biennial report of the
trustees is also favorable and progress
sive. We hope that the governor will
also unite in commencing the interests
of The University to this general as
sembly and the people of the state.

ON the subject of a cabinet officer
from the south, the Chicago Tribune
says:
"The appointment of a cabinet
member from the south is believed
by republicans of position and inf1u4
ence to be almost a matter of course.
The selection of the man will be, per-
haps, the most difficult problem the
formation of the cabinet shall present.
1t is not doubted. however, that the
southern place will fall to some one
whose republicanism is beyond dis
pute. Any native southerner who can
bring that necessary qualification,
allied to the necessary ability and
fitness, will probably have 3 decided
advantage. The south will not be
backward with suggestions"
