SOMETHING NEW IN KNOXVILLE
And two Enterprising Young Men
Recognizing it's Merits are
P11SInino If
]

A lew months since MIR. Rather, who con-
trolls the patent right of the now justly eel
ebrated Elastic Paint, arrived in Knoxville
and began to introduce the same. Two en-
terprising young men, Messrs. Scarborough
d Earnest, recognizing its merit, first
purchased the right to manufacture and use
in the city Of Knoxville, and becoming now
fully convinced of the unsurpassed qualities
of the Paint, purchased the entire territory
of East Tennessee.
There is not single person who has ever
seen it used but what feels thoroughly salts
fed that it will do just what is represented,
and the proprietors feel SO confident of it
giving perfect satisfaction in every instance
that they offera reward of $50 for any leaky
roof, either shingle or tin, that this paint
will not STOP. 1t is fire proof on shingles
and will prevent rust on tin, and will last
from eight to ten years in any climate with
out cracking or blistering. We have seen a
piece of tin with this paint upon it, Bonded
to and fro until the tin would begin to break
on the side not painted, while the painted
side remained perfectly smoothe. It is said
its equal can not be found anywhere for
painting bridges Or roofs, and the city coun-
ellis of Knoxville and Nashville have author
lied its use in painting the public buildings
and bridges, and so far we have not heard
of a single instance where it has failed to
give entire satisfaction.
The paint has been used in number OF
buildings in Knoxville and Nashville, and
Messrs Scarborough & Earnest refer to the
following parties in Knoxville who viii at
test to the value of the Elastic" Hon Peter
Staub, Capt. S. P Evans, Horace Bradley,
Major John McGrath, S. 7. Logan, Esq,
VIM. Baxter, Esq, D. t. Vestal, and many
others. And also to the following in Nash
vile: Maxwell House, Commercial Hotel
Bishop McTyeire Vanderbilt Univerity),
Morris d Stratton, Weakly & Warren, DR..
Morrow, Col. R. z. Payne, and numerous
others.
AS before stated, Messrs. Scarborough &
Earnest control the manufacture and use OF
this really valuable paint in the entire terri
tory of East Tennessee and have their Office
over Caldwell & Sons law Office, opposite
the Custom House, where they will take
pleasure in showing samples of the work
and explaining the use of the paint to any
one desiring to use roof paint. They will
also sell county rights cheap, and thus giv'
other enterprising young men chance fol
success. These are no idle words, for WI
feel confident that the paint in the hands O.
any enterprising man is bound to go, anC
wherever it goes it is bound to stick. W.
wish the young proprietors abundant sue
cess, for they are deserving young men anG
control deservedly popular article.

ARTISTIC ESTABLISHMENT.
The Photographic and Portrait
Gallery Of McCrary Sc Branson.


In making a tour yesterday of the
places where Christmas goods are to
be found, we happened in at the es-
Enlistment of McCrary & Branson,
and were at once quite fayorably inn
pressed with the attractive and in
yiting appearance presented in this
art emporium There is no place
about Knoxville that offers more fea-
lures and objects of attraction to
the lovers of the beautiful. In the
front room, where is arranged in an
rrtistic manner magnificent display
of photographs of all styles, sizes,
etc. is also to be found stock of
frames, mouldings and all articles
of q similar nature, in endless yari-
ETY., and unsurpassed in quality and
cheapness. There is nothing nicer
or more appreciative for Christmas
present than your photograph, neat
" incased in such frame as McCra-
~ & Branson can furnish.
Passing on, we next reach the re-
ception room. Some valuable i'm
provements have been recently made
here, the walls being treated to a
new coating of gray paint, which
adds materially to the appearance.
The walls are handsomely bedecked
with elegant and ife-hke portraits,
among which will be recognized
many familiar faces, the work of
Knoxvilles rising young artist, MIR.
Lloyd Branson, member OF the
firm. Here is to be seen also some
thing new in the shape of reyolv
ing Photographic cabinet, which
takes the eye at first sight. In the
rear is the Photographic department,
in charge of Mr. F. B. McCrary, of
the firm, one of the best photograph
ers in the country. The second story
contains the portrait department. of
Mr.. Lloyd Branson. There are two
large front rooms, conveniently ar
ranged and lighted, one of which is
his studio, the other for the use of
his students, of which he has large
class now, and room for more. Mr..
Branson has a fame already that is
widespread and is constantly on the
increase, and he is given as much
work as he can do. He has now Or
ders for over 100 portraits from
southern cities.
McCrary & Branson are headquar-
ters for Photographic stock of all
kinds, and they are prepared to sup
ply photographers on the best of
terms. The business department is
in charge of Mr.. John A. Rule, a
courteous and affable young man,
who takes pleasure in showing GUS
toners around. It is a real pleasure
to take look through the many at
fractions to be found in McCrary &
BransOn's establishment.

WORTHY OF SUCCESS.
What Enterprise is Accomplish
ing.

Only about three years ago Mr.. r. I. Sui
Ivan, an enterprising, thoroughly compe-
tent young boot and shoe maker, with scarce
ly any capital but his trade and plenty of
pluck and determination, commenced shop
on small scale, but was not to be long kept
inobscurity His work soon became noted
for its exceIency of material and make and
orders have poured in SO rapidly that now
he is compelled to employ several first class
workmen to assist him, however, always un
der his personal supervision, with careful
eye to keeping up his reputation for good
work.
In addition to his custom work depart.
ment, he keeps good stock of eastern made
work for sale, and his businessis constantly
increasing. Such enterprise and push de-
serves success, and with the growth of the
city we confidently expect to see the enlarge
ment of his facilities until an establishment,
of no mean proportions viii be tho result.

Those who hoped to find in the now
famous letter Of General Hancock to
General Sherman. written December
20, 1876. an expression of reactionary
tendencies will have been grievously
disappointed on perusing the document.
The letter was not written for the pub
lie eye, and conceals no Interior design
on the part Of the author. but it will
carry conviction to the Nation of Gem
eral Hancock's eminent fitness for the
duties of the exalted Office in which a
great political party hopes to place him.
The sentiments expressed are those Of
patriotism in its deepest and broadcast
sense. Although the time was one of
peril, the writer was hopeful, even con-
fidcnt, of peaceful solution of the
difficulties of the situation. He alb
horred the idea of n resort to arms for
the settlement Of civil issue. and de-
clared that 1.-THE army should have
nothing to do with the election or in
auguration of Presidents" He be-
lcvcd. as other statesmen then be-
lieved. and as many still believe, that
the machinery for the contingency then
presented had been carefully prepared
by the founders Of the Government.
and that all that remained to do was to
execute the law. He believed that
should the two houses Of Congress fail
TO agree as to who had been elected
President, the immediate representa-
tives of the people--thc House of Rep
resentatives proceed to select
a Chief Magistrate. s'The Senate" he
said. .'elects Vice. Presidents. not Pres
idents." How much more logical and
consistent is this construction Of the
Constitution than that formulated by
the Republican leaders in Congress at
that time, that II was within the power
of one mans whim OF fancy to choose
a President of the United States. Cen
cral Hancock believed when he wrote
that, IL the House was called upon 70
elect President, as atthat time seemed
probable il would, Mr.. Tilden would
be chosen. How many millions of his
believed then as General
Hancock did? This Is all the letter
contains to support the malicious
charge that General Hancock had cx-
pressed a willingness or intention to
obey Mr.. Tilden as Communicating chief
Of the army before he became Presi-
dent No one can fail to perceive the
utter basclessness Of the accusation.
and the careful perusal Of Genera, Han
cocks letter can only strengthen be-
lief in the sincerity Of the remark re-

written anything he was ashamed or

Mr.. Hayes, il seems after all. has no
idea OF retiring to private life after the
fourth of March next. An Ohio Repub-
lican politician, speaking Of the manner
in which John Sherman was sold out at
Chicago by Hayes, Garfield, Foster and
Dennison, says:
Rutherford II. Hayes Is yet a young man:
too Young 10 70 into retirement and 10
Keep himself before The public lniil the stigma
that attaches to the manner In which he was
made President Is forgotten Il one Of the
schemes ever uppcrmost in his mind. Hayes
ever since he hls been President, has main
tanned the idea that cx-Prcsidents should be
made SenatorS-at-Largc for the remainder of
their lives. with a salary sufficiently large TO
enable them to 1--we in style becoming the dig

He believes that the knowledge acquired by a
term OF the Presidency should, after retire

in the manner Indicated. But this might re-
quirc an amendment 20 the Constitution. and
was Ia getting GARFIELD out Of the way. hence
his object IN printing him with the Presidency
for himself"
Mr.. Hayes, considering the well-estab-
lishcd weakness Of his mind, may, in
deed, have the ambition attributed to
him by his Ohio friend, but il Is doubt
full, for the suggestion Is enough to
make horse laugh. No man who has
been the willing tool Of such conspira-
tors rs those who stole the Presidency
in 1876 is "too young to 90 into retire.
mcnt" There are thousands Of younger
men than Mr.. Hayes in retirement at
various State institutions for offenses Of
less magnitude than that in which he
was participant. Keeping himself
before the public until the stigma that
attaches 10 the manner in which he was
made Presidents forgotten will hardly
have the effect desired. Mr. HAYES will
not live long enough to see that great
crime forgiven, much less forgotten.

Taking the most charitable view pos
sible Of General Gariield's record ia tho
Credit Mobilicr and DE Golyer eases
and he must still be condemned rs unfit
for the highest Office in the gift Of the
people. No membcro OF Congress ought
70 place himself in circumstances Of
suspicion so that any discredit Of tho
body shall arise on his account. In q
free government il cannot be expected
that the people will long respect the
laws If they lose respect for the law
makers. For these reasons il behooves
every man i'm Congress, or in any pub
lie position, to hold himself aloof as far
as possible from all influences; that he
may not only be enabled TO look at ev-
cry public question with an eye only
10 the public good, but that his con-
duct and motives be not suspected or
questioned.
To this standard. even in the estimate
Of his most Jealous advocates. General
Garfield did not conform. He did not
'hold himself aloof" from influence.
On the contrary, he listened to the wiIes
Of the tempter He did act so that his
conduct aud motives were suspected
and questioned, as his most ardent
supporters are compelled to admit. AS
"A lawmakcr. therefore. he lost the re-
spect of the people and prepared the

sanship, the stain of having so acted as
to excite suspicion and question. He

positively into disrespcct.

the particular circumstances of his case
and for the purpose Of bringing polit-
zeal opponent into condemnation. On
the contrary. it is the standard Of con-
duct in Congressional and other public
life set up by Republican committee
appointed for the express purpose Of
dealing leniently with Republicans ac-
cused OF irregular and improper transac-
tions. Every word that is said above
as TO the duty of Congressman in
keeping himself free from suspicion and
aloof from influence is taken from the
Poland report in the Credit Mobilier af-
fair, and was incorporated therein. not
as an abstract discussion of Congress
sional duty or propriety. but as lee
ture to Garfield and the Congressman
who were, with him. the subject Of in
vestigation. And it was in concluding
the lecture that the committee gave
Garfield and his colleagues that most
singing rebuke contained in the COM
mendation TO them, as lesson worthy
of their consideration. the letter writ
