IF the the leading journals through

RESPECT FOR LAW AND PEACE IN EAST
TENNESSEE
Reading the Knoxville papers, the
morning after the fatal tragedy,
which so shocked the people of the
State, we can't help being struck with
the anxiety manifested about the
public sen timent being formed in re>
ference to the community in which
the several terrible scenes OF blood
have been SO recently and so swiftly,
one upon another, enacted
We deplore the condition of things
which, it seems to our contempora-
ries, over the mountains, requires q
defense OF the whole people, but We
assure them that, terrible and deadly
as the Sc eeral conflicts have been,
none who know the people of East
Tennessee, will believe spirit of
lawlessness generally prevails.
These acts of violence were excep-
tlona1 and peculiar, and might have
occurred among any people where
life is not held very high. The peo-
pie at large must not be held to
suffer by them.
Events of like character, severally
strange and unaccountable, often
come together-so much so as to
attract attention, and this has been
the case in all count tries
The people of Eaat Tennessee for
a hundred years, since the Sewer and
Upton war, have been known as a
peaceable and law-abiding people
none more so ON the continent.
In all the struggles of the country,
from Kings Mountain down to the
wars of the States, they have shown
themselves to be brave people, but
at the same time they are peacable
and law~abiding.

More Star Route Indictments.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE grand
jury came into the Criminal Court
this evening, and made three new
presentments in the Star Route
cases. In two of the presentments
Thos. J. Brady and George V. Mes
erale were connected, and in the
other, James B. Price, alias J. b.
Price, and Thos. J. Brady were men
toned.
There were presentments also
returned against Marshal G. Candee
and John III. Wallace for perjury.
The latter charge is connected with
the straw bord cases. Within a half
hour from the time the present
ments the indictments based on them
were returned. The Indictment
against ]. B. Price and Thomas j.
Brady is for conspiracy to defraud
the United States in connection with
route No. 31,148, from San Antonio,
Texas, to Corpus Christi, and route
No. 80, 1913, from Monroe to Shreve-
port, La.
Two indictments against Geo, V.
Mesrol and Thos. j. Brady, make
the same charge of conspiracy,
based upon the frauds committed on
route No. 38,110, from Monument to
River Bend, and route No. 3S,157
from Gardner to Rosetta, Col.
Upon the return of these indict-
ments the grand jury was discharged.
The date of the conspiracy in the
Mesrole-Brady indictments is fixed at
June 23rd, 1879, and in the Price
Brady as upon July 1st, 1879. The
nature of the conspiracy is similar
to that charged in the cases now be-
ing tried, namely: Illegal expedition
and increase of the service upon the
routes.

Mr.. EDITOR: By your permission 1 will
give your readers few words concerning
our little community.
Farmers in this section are reaping their
wheat with bright expectations. Oats are
looking well, especially winter oats. The
prospect for good yield of corn this season
is favorable. The farmers, in most respects,
are very hopeful.
Mr.. l. W. Daniel, the Republican cand-
date for County Court clerk, is now canvass
ing this territory, and receives much en-
couragement. Candidates are humorous,
only six offering themselves for Circuit Court
clerk, The people of our county had better
get their business in good shape to spend
considerable time in shaking hands and con-
versing with these office seekers, or they
will suffer greatly, no doubt, from loss of
time.
The Democratic influence in our COM
munity is very light. 1t putfs itself to such
an extent to make show that the way far
ing man" can see its thipness.

NASHVILLE, June 14.-The Mons
ination of Beasley by the Green
hackers, of which I telegraphed you
Monday evening, is the subject OF
much speculation and comment.
The opinion expressed that he
would command 25,000 votes is sus
tanned by the judgment of we'll
informed parties. 1t is claimed,
however, by Beasley's friends that
they will take their seats in the regu-
lar Democratic convention on the
Goth. They will present substantial
ly the same extreme resolutions
adopted by the Greenback
convention, and they will do this
without and hope of their adop
tion, but as a basis for their with
drawal from the convention. 1t will
be seen at a glance that this move
ment will seriously interfere with
the plans of the low-tax haltebreeds,
and possibly throw the control of
the convention into the hands of the
State credit Democracy.
1t is thought by some that Ed.
Shaw and the low-tax Republicans
of West Tennessee will support the
Greenback movement. The real
probability, however, is that there
will now be three Democratic candi,
dates in the field, creating greater
division of the party than occurred
in 1880, and giving Hawkins a vir
tual walk over.
