TEMPERANCE.

LEE VALLEY, TENN, March 10, 80.
To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette:
While looking over a copy of the Nor
ristown Times of the 9th, inst, found
a communication under the above cap
ton, signed ''Sanssuci," which would
be unworthy of notice, were it not for
the covert and cOwardly attack upon
enc Of the most prominent and hOnora-
BILE citizens of MOrristown contained
therein.
The spirit and language of the entire
article points out clearly who its author
is, Notwithstanding his attempt al dis
guise; also, that it was inspired more by
e5agy, than desire to advance the cause
of Temperance. Such low and malicious
filings at men whose character are above
their weak reproach, do more against
than for the cause, and we are some
what surprised at our friend Of the Times
for allowing them a space in his paper
If ''.Sansoucj7' feels a coll to write, and
will write whether or no, we advise him
to emulate Lieut.. McTeer of the Chronicle,
and give US his "reminiscences Of war
times say, for instance, something
about DEMONSTRATING in Collar, house
burning, &C., 60.
Of course "Sans" is for MajSr Petit
bone-so are all his sort; they think if
they had the gallant carpet Dagger in
congress he would secure them a situa-
ton of some kind-even one in the base
neent of the capitol would be preferable
to shocking corn all winter fol- the
shucks.
By the way, hain't Pettibone got plen-
ty of real Yankee cheek After being
SO emphatically repudiated by the voters
of this district, and SO shamefully beaten
by a bog when he ran upon his own mer
its, he is even now at work packing the
next convention, thinking to ride to |
on the Grant boom.
Pettibone has sense enought to know |
that large majority of the people of the |
district don't want his services in con-
gress, still he seeks 20 force himself up |
on them by cunning and wire-pulllng.

In the list of United States senators
whose terms expire on the 4th of March,
1881. occurs the name of J. E. Bailey, of
Tennessee. 1t ia reported that Gov.
Marks has an eye to the succession, and
his friends are quietly at work pushing
him to the front. 1t appears to an out
slider that the democrats could go farther
and fare worse than to retain the servi-
ces of Mr.. Bailey another term. He is q
gentleman Of fine abilities, and has prov
ed to be in all respects model senator.

We have not time to waste with
bro. Charlton, of the Knoxville Dis

position in reference to parties in
Tennessee. But we have PROPOSE
ton to submit for his consideration.
1t is this: If you will publish in the
columns of the Dispatch all we have
said-three articles-and what we
may hereafter say, we will publish
what the Dispatch has said and what
it may say. Then the readers OF
both papers could be better able to
judge which is the better Democrat

The effect of the recent decisions
Of the United States Supreme Court
with reference to the civil rights ca
ses is, that negroes, when tried by
jury for crime, are entitled to have
jurymen OF their own color in the
jury box. State laws which use the
word white" with reference to ju
rors are consequently in conflict with
the Supreme Court ruling, because
of discrimination. On this same
principle men OF every nationality
can insist upon having a jury com.
posed largely of their swn country
men, unless the privilege is to be
accorded to the negro alone, which
would be 8 discrimination in his ia
Yor unjust to other races.

CLOSE or THE 18TH VOLUME

CLOSE or THE 18Th VOL UME.
The present issue of the GAZETTE
closes the Thirteenth year of its ex.
isteuce, about half of which period
it has been under the management
of it's present proprietor. We will
be excused for saying a few words
on this occasion. We are proud to
know that the paper has made in
that time many warm and sincere
friends. For more than a decade
the effort OF the GAZETTE has been
to prove true and trusty TO the peo>
pie, and though it may have, and no
doubt has, sometimes been wrong in
its comments upon public men and
its expressions of public policy, it
always believed it was right when
ever it gave utterance to an opinion.
Without time to elaborate this sub
ject as we would like, suffice to say
the paper has never been upon a
firmer or more satisfactory founda-
ton than at the present time, nor has
it ever possessed ampler facilities
for usefulness. The GAZETTE will
continue TO be, as it always has been,
DemoCratic-bu it will not be Dem
ocratic in a partizan or reckless in
difference to the fundamental land |
marks of the party as to public and
private honesty. 1t will not be blind |
to what it conceives to be the errors
of it's friends or the merits of its |
political opponents, but will recog-
nize both with freedom and honesty
of intention without Partially. Re-
garding the State debt question we
long ago took our position and we |
shall in nowise swerve from it. We
believe now, as we did during the
late cunvass, that the proposed COM
promise Of the State debt ought to
have been accepted by the people.
A majority of those who voted de-
clared otherwise, and we cheerfully
Concede to them the same honesty Of
purpose and act which We claim for
ourselves, at the same time totally
rejecting the mischieyous heresy
that the people can do no wrong"
A word more: Through the en-
suing year the GAZETTE will contain
the news of the town, county, State
and country, together with the pro. :
ceedings of Congress. Full and &C.
curate market reports, marriages, 2
deaths, the selling price Of country
produce, and especially all the local a
news. We are determined to supply I
the people with a paper deserving t
their patronage and support, and l
with this guarantee on our part, we f
urge our friends and patrons to Toll I
up their sleeves and go to work for t
US. With the design Of materially t
increasing the circulation OF the GA.
zETTE, we have decided to make a o
marked reduction in its club rates, Il
which will from this date be as fol. a
