Gov. Hawkins is meeting with
some harsh words at the very begin
ming of his administration, and, from
what we can learn, he deserves it.
He has appointed his own son as
Private Secretary, and it is thought,
will appoint his brother as Commits
sioner of the Bureau of Agriculture,
Statistics, Mines and Immigration.
-R0qerSUiHe Spectator.
Which reminds US that while at
Nashville, not long ago, q State Off
cial informed us that one of his prom
inent Republican friends had just
had private interview with Gov.
Hawkins, the object of which was to
induce him to abandon the purpose
of appointing the person named by
the Spectator to Killebrew's Office,
if he had ever entertained it. The
Governor listened cautiously to the
arguments and suggestions of the
gentlemansuntil he had finished and
then blandly replied: Certainly,
at this late day, neither my Repub-
lican friends nor my Democratic en-
emies will have the efrontery to
complain or censure me for following
a precedent inaugurated by SO good
a Republican as Gen. Grant and af-
frmed and maintained by so ortho-
dox a Democratic body as the Su-
preme Court of Tennessee. ] don't
think that either party could do so
with that show Of consistency that
honest men ought to maintain"
The interviewer couldn't think of
anything further he particularly
had to say, nor, under the peculiar
and sensitive surroundings of the
case, can we. If the Governors
brother is competent to discharge
the requirements of the office. no
criticism as to nepotism viii come

houses ought not to introduce the

In the bribery investigation case
at Nashville, the committee have
made slow work-in fact developed
nothing new or tangible. The re
calcitrant witness, McGlothlin, was
finally brought before the committee,
but insteadOf sustaining the charges
of Littleton he proved, in the lang
.uage of the Chattanooga Times, "to
be as great a fraud as a witness rs
Mr.. Littleton showed himself to be
in the roll of informer. He t'ipped,
lyed, convicted himself of lying and
generally acted like very clumsy
rascal. If the results of the investi-
CATION of bribery charges in the leg
islature depend on him it will end in
a pitiful farce. He is no doubt the
kind of scoundrel likely to tempt
the citadel of legislative virtue with
a roll of greenbacks He is likewise
the sort who would perjure himself
if his safety or convenience suggest
ed that as the best course.

Nearly two years~ago Judge Elliot
of the Supreme Court of Kentucky
rendered verdict which was against
the interest of one Thomas Buford
whereupOn the latter murdered him
in cold blood -one of the most hor-
rible assassinations that ever dis
graced this country. The case has

Of venue was granted, and finally,
after four weeks trial, jury ac-
quilted him at Owenton, KY, on
the 29th January. On the first bal
lot the jury were equally divided,
but the argument was brought for
ward in the jury-room, that if the
wanted to go homo and spend Sun
day they must agree to acqNit him,
and they did so, and the assassin
was acquitted, on the pretext of in
sanity. 1t was thought the Judge
would order his confinement in the

Jackson Tribune and Sun: The
Hon. Howell E. Jackson our distin-
guished Senator elect is in the city
receiving the congratulations of his
friends. We do NOT exaggerate when
we say that he has more friends
than any man in the county, and
that the expressions Of qualification
at his election arc almost universal
without regard to party distinctions.
The comments Of the public men
and of the press of the country on
Judge Jackson's election and his
remarks after the election are of the
most fattering character. He will
enter the Senate under the most
favorable auspices, and'will prove q
worthy successor to that eminent
and able statesman, Hon. JAS. E.
Bailey.

MANUFACTURERS OF AND DEALERS N
STOVES, TINwARE, PRESSED WARE,
HOUSE FURNISHING GOODS, HARD
WARE, &C.
1t is only necessary to point to
the above heading to show at once
what an important part Mossrs. ID.
p. Rowe a. Co. fill in a mercantile
and manufacturing point of view in
our town, and an inspection Of their
spacious warerooms and work shop
will show how ably and systematic
ally they conduct the business. A
few days ago we called on these
gentlemen and were kindly shown
through their commodious building,
situate on Main street, a few doors
east of the corner of Main and Hen
ny. The opportunity was a good
one for an examination Of their
stock and an introspection Of the
"insido workings" of the establish
ment. Stepping in at the main en-
trance, which fronts and opens di-
rect on Main street, we enter the
first room on first floor, which ex-
tends two thirds of the length of the
entire building. This is the sales
room. and here we find samples of
the immense stock Of goods manu-
featured by them, also stoves, i'm
ported ware, shelf hardware, cutlery
and thousands Of other useful ar
ticles classed under the head of
house furnishing goods. The citi-
zens here and throughout this sec
ton are however familiar with the
splendid stock handled by them, as
they are the recognized leaders i'm
their special lines. Continuing on
through this department. we were
conducted into the second room at
the extreme end of the first floor,
where we find most Of the heavy
class Of goods, consisting Of heavy
hardware, package and bulk goods
&c. From this room we ascend a
fight of stairs and are on the second
floor, which is partitioned into two
rooms the first is used rs a storage
room for stoves and bulk stock /.
from here we pass to the second
and last room OF the house, but are
already very forcibly notified of tho
nature of this department by the
continuous clatter of hammers on
metal and the noise of machinery.
Here a number of workmen are
busily engaged in manufacturing
all grades of tinware and executing
all kinds of job work This busy
scene is certainly a pleasing sight
and speaks louder than words for
the firms energy and enterprise
Their hardware business is Il
speciality, and they keep n full Eand
complete stock ofSverythingpertain-
ing to the line. They are the sole
agents for the celebrated Farmer

Eastman Business College, Pougl

Eastman Business College, POugh-
keepsie, n. Y, refused last week to
admit a colored pupil, Fred. c.
Dickinson, of Newport, to its course
of instruction, after he had come to
the town and bought his ticket of
admission to the school The pres
ident of the school, when Dickinson
presented himself for admission, told
him politely that it would be i'm
possible to admit him, as colored
students had never been admitted
into the college, and that he was
not aware that cOIored students
were admitted to any of the private
male or female colleges of the city.
Mr.. Dickinson was evidently dissat-
isfed, and regretted that he had
been to the expense of coming.
Thereupon Mr.. White refunded his
money and presented him with S25
to defray his travelling expenses.
And yet the Northern stalwarts do
not howl over the rejection of the
negro by this college as they would
have done had one been treated the
same way by Southern institution.

entirely reliable. The sample of
coal sent is undoubtedly camel coal
of a very high quality. It burns

and clear as a gas jet We thank

hope that he will write again, and
that others having knowledge of the

ample and give us the facts:

Imail you to-day a sample of can
mel coal, taken from the spur Of hill
where it cropped out, and l wish to
add that the whole country in which
I reside is one east coal feLd. The
strata varies in thickness from one
foot to fifteen feet of pure carbon,
anthracite and bituminous coal. In
making these assertions l invite an
investigation of my veracity, and
win cheerfully abandon my place of
business, at any time, and personal
ly escort any agent your people may
send into this country to see wheth-
er my picture is too highly colored.
We have white oak ship knees by
the thousand, coal by the hill full,
whoop poles by the millions, tan
bark by the cord, stave timber by
the acre, cross-tles, granite, marble,
salt, iron-everything in fact that
could make a people prosperous and
happy-if we only had railroad
from MOrristown to Cumberland
Gap. A direct line is wanted from
Liverpool to Charleston aud from

publish this letter and mail me your
