TO THE MERCHANTS

Invited to Visit Knoxville, and All Others
Interested.
There are many points of interest to Wis
itors to this our beautiful mountain city,
and among them are the wholesale houses
of Knoxville The object of this article is
to call attention to one of these immense
establishments in particular. We refer to
the large double store of w. W. Woodruff
& Co., the leading hardware house of the
South. This firm commenced business
few years ago with somewhat limited
capital, but by dint of enterprise and close
attention to the wants and wishes of their
customers, they have built up trade second
to none in their line in the South. Their
stock is simply immense, comprising every
thing in the hardware line, and many CT
the leading agricultural implements, amongst
which are the far-famed Oliver Chilled
Flows. The merchants of East Tennessee,
North Carolina, Virginia, Georgia and Ala
bama and portions of Kentucky who have
favored this firm with their orders, have
become thoroughly convinced by this time
that they cannot do better anywhere else,
and customer once secured, is usually, if
not always, permanent patron Their
large double store-three stories and base
ment- building is always packed from
basement to third floor, with all kinds of
goods in their line, and they have always
marked them down to bottom figures, and
no fancy prices, leaving good margin for
the retail dealer. They have never failed to
give satisfaction to their customers in the
past, and we feel confident they will
always succeed doing SO in the future. We
would urge upon our visiting friends not to
fail TO take look through their establish
ment while visiting the city, as they will
find full force of polite and accommodate
ing clerks always ready to show the goods
and give prices, and they feel confident that
sales will follow, if the goods are at all
wanted.

THE FIRST CIRCUS.
Maybury, Pullman g. Hamilton's Grand
Combination.

Maybury, Pullman Hamilton's Grand
Combination.
The bill boards are covered with posters
announcing the coming to our city of May
bury, Pullman & Hamilton's ssGrand United
Mastodon Shows" on August 3D. From
what we can gather from the press, on the
occasion of their opening in Louisville,
April 9Th, our people can rely on one of
the best entertainments ever given under
canvass, in Knoxville.
The Louisville Post, in speaking of them,
says: 'eThe list of performers includes the
names of some of the most famous in the
profession, and deeds of strength and dar-
ing are performed that are not to be seen
anywhere else. The performance in the
arena is unsurpassed, and much that is in
teresting and instructive may be learned
from one menagerie. Louisville will be
visited by many combinations this season,
but in its combined attractions none will
surpass Maybury, Pullman 4 Hamilton"
The Louisville Sunday Argus says: 1.-THE
performances in the arena are of very SUI
perior character 1t is compact and neat
throughout. Not a single speciality is unat
tractive."
The News says: 'oThe rare animals and
birds were numerous and fine specimens,
but the circus performance and music are
the attractions in which this model compa-
ny excels Every member of this company,
every feat. every performing animal, wheth-
er domestic or wild, which was adver-
| tised either on the walls or in newspa
pers, made their entry and performed every
| thing promised The circus exhibition
elected rounds of applase, and put this
show at the top of the estimation of the
show-going people here. We hope they
will call on us again this season.
Such positive testimonials as the above
coming from the responsible sources they
do, will induce the people of Knoxville t.
turn out en- masse to see the first circus o.
| the season.

Fresco Painting and Dados.

1t may not be known to every one that
ers in the South, but such is the case; Mr..
A. Leinthall is perhaps the most skilful
painter in all the branches of House, Sign,
Fresco and Artistic painting south of Gin
cinnati. Mr. Leinthall employs good force
of workmen and contracts for any kind of
painting or paper hanging. He warrants
his work first-class and the owners of many
of the finest houses in the city can testify
to the skill and uprightness of the work
done for them If references are wanted
we can give them.
Any design can be followed, or original
designs made for Artistic Frescoing.

CAPTURE OF THE VIRGINIA OYSTER
PIRATEs.-For q long time past the waters
of Virginia have been infested with law
less dredgers, whose depredations not un-
frequently extended to the Western Shore
of the Chesapeake bay. These violations
of the Virginia oyster law had become so
frequent and the hardihOod of the depre-
datOrs so great that it was deemed neces-
sarY to call out the power of the State to
suppress then. Consequently on Thurs
day last Governor Cameron issued a proc
lamatiOn setting forth the facts, and di-
recting the organization Of an expedition
against the offenders, and on Friday morn
ing Governor Cameron, with two steam
boats armed with hOWitZers, surprised q
fleet of the dredgers. Some surrendered
at once, others sought TO escape by fight,
and one, the KirkwoOd was only captured
after chase of thirty or forty miles. OF
the seven schOoners taken, with sixty-one
men on board and four thousand bushels
of oysters, it must have been q great sur
prise to their captors to find that six were
from Virginia, and manned by Virginians.
and only one from New York. If they
had been informed in time of the Govern.
or's proclamation and of the fitting out o.
an expedition against them they would
doubtless have quilted their work in the
Rappahann0ck and run up the bay across
the Maryland line, where the Governol
could not follow them. If they should b.
convicted and made to suffer the full pen
atty of the law, they will be sentenced Il
imprisonment for term ranging from on
to three years, and their vessels forfeited

Foreigners" however, 1t Is believed tina
simple forfeiture will be exacted,-BGLt

THERE is undoubted sympathy for the
citizens of Dover throughout Kent County,
and a genuine wish that Lockerman street
may be lifted out of Its slough Of dis
pond" but the citizens in the extreme
limits of the county cannot see that they
should be forced to bear the burdens of
an enterprise designed only for the local
business interests of the merchants OF
Dover. Milford Or Smyrna would hardly
think of such a cheeky thing, but Dover,
like petted and pampered child, never
thinks it is asking too much. Does not
the Levy Court see that in acceding to
their request in granting $500 for a strictly
local improvement in one town that the
other towns of the county can with equal
propriety claim their pro rdtGof the taxes?
The citizens who appeared before the Levy
Court argued that Dover paid 5000 in
County taxes and only received $3.50 from
The County appropriations. Well, grant
ing this to be so, she is exactly on the
same footing as other towns. Smyrna for
instance pays about $3.50 taxes into the
County Treasury but her annual appro-
priation by the Levy Court is only 5000.
If Dover is granted an extra sum of $500
because it has a muddy street, Smyrna
can with equal prepriety claim an extra
$416 and will doubtless do it. And so
will Camden, FELTON,, Frederica, Milford
&c. 1t would seem strange that taxes
levied for the public travel, bridges and
general expenses of the County could in
any way be diverted in aid of local
mercantile enterprise.

LEGIsLETIyE PARALYsls.-The deiibe-

The appearance to matter of fact brsi-

Thus the people are to blame for much of
the fondness for combat, for personalities
and the display of the ''gift of CAB" on
the floor of Congress. Senator Edmunds
has undertaken the almost hopeless task
of making the waste Of time in the Senate
unpopular. The New York Tribune in
discussing this subject says:
Legislative paralysis is the prevailing
epidemic, in Europe as in Amerca. In
Great Britain Mr. GladstOne's Ministry is
confronted with the same problem, and a
dissolution Of Parliament may result from
measures deemed necessary to secure at

In discussion on Saturday in Congress
ON the deficiency bill, providing for un-

Silver certificates to represent the coin

Hon. Abram S. Hewitt pithily said:
There are two dollars by law in this
country-a gold dollar and silver dollar,
the latter worth only 873 per cent as
much as the dollar which is current i'll the
markets of the world Commerce, wiser
than Congress, rejects the inferior dollar,

radically corrupt or essentially the in
strument of Executive power?"
GA South Carolina member has pro-
posed House of 600 members. He
reasons that small bodies are apt to be-
come corrupt. Another proposition is to
abolish the desks of members, which does
not ge to the root of the matter at all.
Mr.. Hewitt declares that the paralysis of
the legislative body is the principal danger
of the Republic, but he merely proposes
to get rid of private bills and to put the
tariff question in the way of settlement in
accordance with his ideas. The fact that
the rules of the House, as they now stand
often operate to prevent dispatch of bust
ness is also noticed, but it is not shown
wherein the House, with its complicated
rules, and the Senate without them, essen-
TALLY differ in respect to dispatch of bust
ness"

admitted. Ifselfgoyernment intrusts law

Mr.. Ednunds urges they may be rendered

this theory is correct, the constituents are
not capable of making their own laws

the other hand, if the difficulty is not
wholly or mainly with the constituents
then it follows that tself-goYernment, other
wise success, is liable to be rendered q
failure by defects of method which we
have not yet learned how to remove"
