From Hawkins County,
RoGERsvILLE, August 4th.

hoGEHSFll4LE, august 4tn.
Nh. EDITOR: The election in this county
yesterday resulted in Republican triumph.
The entire Republican ticket was elected to
the several county offices, the chief interest
centered in the race being that for County
Court clerk, which entirely overshadowed
all others. This was fierce struggle, the
Democrats being determined to defeat Arm
strong, Republican, the present incum-
bent, with r. L. Blevins, Democrat The
former, however, distanced his COM
petitor by 255 votes, and again en-
ters upon his fourth term as clerk
of our County Court 1t is proper to state
that he was supported by portion of the
best element of the Democratic party in the
county. He is deservedly popular and it
would seem that the majority of the people
think his services as clerk cannot be dis
pensed with during the term of his natural
life. He is now in his sixty fifth year
Last night, between l and 2 o'clock,
while waiting for the election returns, a
portion of our inhabitants became noisy and
boisterous, each faction cheering for its
! favorite. This, as usual, engendered bad
| feeling, and quarrel ensued, which re-
| suited in one III. K. Sans, white,
| shooting Andrew johnson, colored
! twice in a vital part of the
| body, from which wounds his life is de-
| SPARED of, and the physicians say he will
| die. Sans and his friends claim the shoot
| ing was done in self-defense; that johnson
| struck at him with a stick and knife; while
| the friends of the latter say he had no
weapon, and was simply trying to keep the
; peace by parting two negroes who were
| about to engage in a fight. The matter is
undergoing Judicial investigation, conse-
quently forbear commenting on the facts
With this exception the election was quiet
! one in this county.
The Republicans of this section view
with much solicitude the contest
now being waged for the nomination for
! Congress in the Second District of Tennes,
see. That people who We're once 50 well
and ably represented in the councils of the
| nation by a Maynard should now submit to
be misrepresented by SO small man as |. C.
| houk is almost Incredible
| Unless the Republicans of the Second
District repudiate this man, they will not
| only do themselves, but the entire Repub-
| lican party of the South, vast injury; for
! our character as a people will, to a great
degree, be determined abroad by the sort of
men We choose as our Representatives 1t
| is a matter therefore of some concern to us
whether Rule or Houk shall be nominated at
! Knoxville on the 20th instant. More anon.

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, August 5.-The cOnferees
committee on the naval appropriation bill
this morning agreed to only clauses in the
controversy winch were IL regard 10 the
closing of navy yards The Senate con-
ferees receded from their disagreement, and
rs agreed upon, the bill leaves the closing
Of navy yards to the discretion of the Sec
Ietary of the Navy.
The Republican members of the Senate
held Il fully attended caucus to-day aud dis
cussed the subject of continuing the consid-
Grafton of the tax bill. With d few dissent
my expressions, the opinion prevailed that
Congress should not adjourn without adopt
lug IN some form bill to relieve the people
from the present burden of taxation. Sew
eral Senators urged the importance of pass
ing the knit goods BILL as 1t was stated that
vast interests would be sacrificed if the bill
should be allowed to 60 over till December.
On the other hand, 1t was urged that should
the tax bill be laid aside for the knit goods
bill the Democrats would insist upon an
unlimited discussion, and would weigh down
the bill with all the amendments that
have been offered to the tax bill, and that
TO insist upon either bill would result in a
prOtacted party strife and an Indefinite pro
lOngatlon of the session. While the Sena-
tors are retcent as to the ultimate decision
of the caucus, it Is pretty generally under
stood that practically, q unanimous deci-
sion was reached to press the tax bill to a
vote, and if possible TO secure vote with
out the amendments upon the knit goods
bill. This decision, if adhered to, vii
postpone, perhaps indefinitely, any actor
on the House resolution for adjournment.
The President sent the following nomlna
tIons to the Senate to-day: James w. John
ston. of Virginia, collector of customs fol
the district of Newport News, Va; James B
Mitchell, of Virginia, surveyor of customs
for the port of Yorktown, in the district o
Newport News, Va.
The Legislative, executive and Judlcla
appropriation bill was received at the Whit
house to-day, and was almost immediatel,
signed by the President.
The President sent the following nomina
tons to the Senate to day: Ulysses s
Grant and VIM. Henry Trescott to be com
missioners to negotiate commercial treat,
with Mexico; John II. DilIen, of Missouri
secretary of the legation of the United
States III Mexico.
The President has decided upon an en-
forcement of the eight hour law as that Law
was construed during the administration o
General Grant

Sullivan S Speciality.

On Thursday, Nov. %, the great
Irish actors, Mr. and Mrs. Dan Sui
livan with their own special COM
pany of artists to support them, will
be at LaBclle's hall. The Pueblo
Caiglidn Of Dee. q, has this to say
Of them:
The opera house was crowded last
night to witness the entertainment
by Dan Morris Sullivan's Mirror of
Ireland company, and to look upon
the beauties of his wonderful panor-
anna called the mirror of Ireland"
There are few better entertainments
travelling through the country than
this one, and from the rise to the
fall of the curtain last night. the au-
dience was alternately interested and
amused. The dancing and singing
was splendid, and it is seldom that
an audience is better pleased or has
better cause to be, than the one as
sembled at the opera house last
night. The panorama of the beau
tiful scenery of Ireland is true to
nature-not a scene is presented but
is perfect, and the beautiful allegor-
ical picture at the close is a perfect
gem, and should be seen by every
lover of Ireland and her cause.

an increase ofdivine grace. It is the
same blessing enlarged. 1t is the COM
manded duty ofchristians to advance
in the divine life, leaving the princi-
pies of the doctrine of Christ and
going on to perfection, or holiness.
Bishop Peck says, 1--WE leave the prin-
ciples of the doctrine of Christ, as
the builder leaves foundation, and
completes the house upon it, The
house is not separate thing from
the foundation, but the foundation is
an essential part of the house. We
leave the principles of the doctrine Of
Christ a. student leaves the alpha
bet and progresses in learning, ma
king letters into syllables, syllables
into words and words into compost
ton. All the improvement male is
based on the alphabet, and is not a
separate thing from it. We would
think the man a fool who would
lay the foundation in one place and
attempt to build in another. So too
with the student, the alphabet is
part and parcel in every line Of pro-
gress, just so in christian attain
ments; we add to our faith virtue,
and to virtue knowledge; and to
knowledge temperance, and to tenn
p+rance patience, and to patience
Gotlliness, and to godliness brother
ly kindness, and to brotherly kind
ness charity. By the addition of
these heavenly graces we are enabled
to expand in all the fullness Of the
blessings of the gospel of Christ.
This is the way l read. and interpret
the holy scriptures. In conclusion
l would say that the editor of the
Csnt,ml Christian Adrocnte. n confer
ence paper of the M. L. Church,
published in st. Louis Mo. has re-
fused to publish any more contro-
versy on the subject Of the second
blessing. For the present | will
subscribe myself,
Yours Truly,
M. MILLER.
