his faults, yet we believe him to
be possessed of many noble
and generous qualities. The ez-
tract above given does US injustice
and its statements are untrue. Our
reporter made no statement "on
mere rumor," but obtained his infor-
nation from an eye witness, a gen
tleman whose reputation for truth
and veracity will not be called in
question. The fact that after arrest
ing I.arkin at the muzzle of pistol
and hand cutting him, Sheriff Bleyins
himself soon removed the hand
cuffs, and guarded the prisoner in
stead of casting him into prison,
shows decided change of manner,
to the sheriff's credit, we think. !.
The editor Of the Spectator knows,
if he read the CHRONICLE that
we were among the first to SPEAK; out
upon the absurdity of mob in
Hawkins county. He knows that we
spoke in strong terms of the chars
acter of the people there as Being
that of a law abiding people. He
knows very well, If be read orr
paper, and we presume he did, that
we said nothing detrimental to the
people of that county, but every
thing in their praise. The construc
ton he places upon our remarks Is
not warranted by the truth, anC
shows that the editor must be infu
enced by the partisan bias which h
: seeks to lay at our door. We have
no prejudice whatever in this case
We were glad that there were IL
well-grounded apprehensi0ns Of
mob, and never believed there were
We trust the law will take it's course
and if Deputy Larkin has bee
guilty of It's violation, we would no
shield him from the penalty. W
hope only for justice.

SEWERAGE FOR KNOXVILLE

We presume that the fact is now
pretty we'll settled that Knoxville IS
to have water works. We take 1t
that the Robinson contract will be
signed up, that work will be COM
menced in a few wee ks, and that in
a year from the present time, or
little more, perhaps, we are to have
water works in full operation, in a
portion of the city at least. The
settlemt n of that OUT sti0n also set
ties smother. We presume no sane
man will think of operating water
works in city the size of Knoxville
without system Of sewerage,
To turn all the waste water from
w ter closets. and other places
where water is used, out on the sur>
face of the streets, is a thing which
we presume our people will not
think of. If that were done, disease
would be the inevitable result in
summer, and in winter, in cold
weather, this waste water would
make the streets q sheet of ice.
Fortunately for us, orr city is
favorably situated for such system.
With main running down Gay
street, and one each along First and
Second Creeks, with pipes leading
to them, would be sufficient. Or,
perhaps, the sewer already construct
ed on Prince street, from the custom
house, may be made available, and
one on Gay street unnecessary. Then
it will be necessary to construct one
in North Knoxville, running parable
with the railroad, so as to supply
that portion of the city. It will cos
something to do this, but it will b.
an absolute necessity, and not to dc
it will be to invite disease and cpl
denies It is not too early to begll
to think and talk of it.
The city of Memphis has recent
adopted system of sewerage, whlc
is spoken of in the highest terms
both on account of its perfection an
it's cheapness. It will be well TO
the city authorities to examine
closely, and if it proves to b
what we want, to adopt it. Ii tina
system will answer our purposes,
system of sewerage for the city WI
not cost exceeding thirty-tive Q
forty thousand dollars-perhaps nc
so much. But cost what it may, W
cannot afford to endanger the healt
and the lives of our people, and
hazard Knoxvilles reputation as on
o. the healthie St cities in the Uniol
We mention this matter this earl,
and commend it to the close after
ton and careful consideration of OF
people.
