HoE. w. L. LEDGERW0o0 SPEAKEa or THE
HOUSE or REPRESENTATIVES.

Hon. w. l.. Ledgerwood, of
Knoxville, who was on Monday
elected Speaker of the States House
of Representatives, is a lawyer of
acknowledged ability and extensive
practice at the Knoxville bar. He
was born and reared in Knox coun-
ty and is now in his fortieth year.
His father, who still lives, is a
farmer. Mr.. Ledgerwood was
Union soldier and enlisted as pri-
vate. He was promoted to a cap
taincy for gallant and meritorious
conduct and served as such until
the close of the war. He has here
tofore served for several terms in
the Legislature and always with
ability and distinction. He was a
Democratic elector in 1880 and did
valiant service for the cause of
Democracy in that stronghold of
Republicanism-the I'd district.
He was the first choice of East Ten
nessee for Governor in the June
convention. He is conservative,
sensible man, said TO be a good par
Humanitarian and no doubt will
make an able and acceptable Speak

EncYcLopRdLn Britannica.

The book agent, as a species OF
the genus homo, is like the epistles
of ST. Paul, he has in him many
things hard to be understood. No
tice him first when he has his sub
scriber as yet unsecured, he APP
proaches his prey with catlike
softness, patting and stroking it
with the paw of velvet, but once
let the unsuspecting victim sign his
name to the subscription list, and
the claws emerge with results aston
ishing to the victim aforesaid.
The present writer has had some
experience of late with this species.
He became a subscriber year or
two ago to really valuable work,
the Encyclopedias Britannica, on
the condition that the volumes
should be delivered as published.
He has for some time been in pos
session of thirteen volumes, and
there the thing stops. The four
teenth volume has been published
some eight or ten months, but no
agent appears. He probably thinks
it more convenient to wait till vol
ume fifteen is published and then
to deliver two volumes at cnce. He
will find, however, that this ar
rangement suits the agent better
than the subscriber, and when he
comes to GAINESVILLE again. will
have several volumes to lake home
with him, for his subscribers here
have ceased to look upon patience
as virtue, and will decline to re-
ceive mis- goods, preferring to make
other arrangements. The truth is
that it is one main recommended
ton of such a work that it posts us
up on the subjects discussed to the
day of publication, an advantage
entirely lost if a years delay comes
before delivery.
The failure is not an oversight,
for 1 have written to both the New
York publisher and the Western
agents months ago, eliciting nothing
but promises of speedy delivery,
which as yet remain unfulfilled.
The publishers had better make up
their minds whether the Tennessee
is worth attending to.

THE Cincinnati Commercial and
the Gazette, both daily Republican
papers of that city, have recently
consolidated under the style of the
COMMERCIAL Gazette. AS one was
a Stalwart and the other a Half
breed journal the great question
which now agitates the public
mind is whether the Commercial
swallowed the Gazette or the Ga
zette swallowed the Commercial.
However this may be, the CONSOLE
dation of these two old Republican
journals for retrenchment and re-
FORMS sake, and the retirement of
the Louisville Commercial from a
Republican paper to the ranks of
independent journalism would in
dictate that 1882 was not a good
year for Republican journalism.

Death OF Leon GaHbett1. the French States



man.
Leon Gambetta, the great French
statesman and politician died at
Paris on Monday night, the LIST
inst, in the fOrty-fiith year of his
age, after a short Illness. Sew
eral weeks ago he received a slight
wound from the accidental dis
charge of pistol which he was
handling, but this. it appears, had
no immediate connection with his
death. The dispatches only stating
that he died of piemia or blood
poisoning, resulting from suppress
ed erysipelas. Although as yet a
young man, he was looked upon as
one of the foremost men of the
times and, perhaps, Frances great
est statesman. He had held many
offices of distinction and was at one
time the premier of the French
cabinet. He was an ardent friend
to the Republic and had much to
do with the establishment of that
form of government after the fall of
the NapOleonic dynasty. He was
considered a great orator and states
man and a true patriot and was
immensely popular with the people.
1t has been said of him that 'since
the death of Theirs there was not
in France a man who could be COM
pared to Gambetta. He stood, like
Saul, head and shoulders above his
compeers." 1t is not believed his
death will effect in any way the
stability of the French Republic.

Death of Gen. 5. =. Anderson.

The Nashville papers of Wednes-
day record the death of Gen. SaInu-
el II. Anderson, who died at his
home i'm East Nashville on Tuesday
morning, in the 10th year of his
age. In the death of this venerable
man the State loses one of her best
and most respected citizens. He
was widely known and esteemed by
all. DuriRg his long and eventful
life Gen. Anderson has held many
positions of trust and honor, both
civil and military, and in dying
leaves behind him an honorable and
well earned reputation. He was
native of Virginia, but emigrated
to Tennessee in 1920. He was a
Mexican veteran having marched
to Mexico as Lieutenant-Colonel of
the 1st Tennessee Regiment that
marched to Mexico and greatly
distinguished himself at the battle
of MONTEREY and on other fields.
Upon his return to Tennessee, he
was elected cashier of the Bank of
Tennessee, which honorable posi-
ton he efficiently held until APP
pointed postmaster of Nashville by
President Pierce. He held this
position until the summer of 1861,
when he was elected president of
the Bank of Tennessee and held the
position until the breaking out of
the war. Then he went with the
South and was appointed a Major
General by Gov. Harris, he was
afterwards appointed a Brigadier
General by President Davis. We
are informed that the gallant 18th
Tennessee Regiment was at one
time under his command, and he
will doubtless be pleasantly remem-
bered by many of that gallant band
living in this part of the State.
The war over he returned to the
peaceful pursuits of business at
Nashville, and lived quiet and
honorable life. 1t is said Nashville
has had no man superior to Gen.
Anderson as business man, none
more useful or whose death is more
deeply regretted. The citizens of
Nashville held a public meeting
Wednesday and took appropriate
action on his death.

GEN. JOHN b. GORDON, of Geor-
gia, has lately returned from an ex-
tended tour in Europe, and as is
usual with all sensible Americans
he is more than ever pleased with
his own country. In conversation
with reporter the other day he
said, at is enough to make an
American proud to ride through the
streets of London, with its civiliza-
ton of two thousand years, and see
American implements, American
sewing machines, American tools
and American goods displayed on

can watches are being sold in the

can factories beginning to clOthe

SPEAKER OF THE STATE SENATE.

Hon. b. +. Alexander, of Ruth
erford county, was on Monday
elected Speaker of the State Senate.
Speaker Alexander is young man,
perhaps the youngest in that body,
being only 80 years old. He was
born and raised in Rutherford coun-
ty, his father being a native of
Smith county and his mothera Vir-
ginian. He graduated at Union
University in MurfreesborO, after
wards studying law and graduating
from the Lebanon Law School. He
practiced law about two years, after
which he engaged in farming. In
1878, he was elected to the Lower
House of the General Assembly as
FlOater from Rutherford and Bed
ford and in 1880 was sent to the
Senate by the same two counties.
At present he is the Senatorial rep
resentative of Rutherford and Cof-
fee. He often served as temporary
Speaker of the last Senate and
more frequently than any other
man on the floor occupied the chair
during the regular and extra ses-
siOns. He was chairman of the
committees on Claims, Elections
and Rules, and an active, able, eff
Gent member of several other COM
mittees. Though consistent low
tax man, he has ever been conserv-
alive and always Democratic. He
is unmarried. In personal appear
ance, he is tall, slender and good
looking, of commanding presence
and will make an able and popular
presiding officer.

The BoHdhoEders Speak.
Nashville American, Jan. ).


The bondholders in New York
held a meeting dec. %, 1882, and
addressed lengthy proposition to
the Legislature of Tennessee. After
a lengthy preamble, these resOlu-
tions follow:
Resolved, That this committee
respectfully but earnestly request
the Legislature of Tennessee to ex-
tend the time for funding the bond
obligations of the State into her
compromise bonds for two veal 5
from Jan. 1, 1888.
That they earnestly urge and
recommend the Legislature not
only to grant an extension but TO
seize the opportunity to confirm,
ratify and complete this most favor
able compromise for Tennessee, re-
garded in all respects.
That it will be found practicable
and take out of the domain of poll
tics question that has already
engendered in its discussion feelings
which every good citizen must dep
recate, a question, too, which has
impeded the progress of the people
and must necessarily continue to
distract the commonwealth if not
now finally disposed of as hereto
fore agreed upon.
Resolved, That compromise at
a lower figure is not justified by the
of the people of Ten
nessee, hence it should never be
proposed on their behalf and should
not be, and, we are satisfied, will
not be considered by her creditors if
proposed.
Resolved, That the chairman for
ward a copy of these resolutions to
the Governor of Tennessee and to
the Speakers of both houses.

THE New Years reception at the
White House by President Arthur
was brought to an unexpected end
on Monday by the sudden death OF
the Hon. Mr.. Allen, the Hawalin
Minister, who fell dead in the hall
of the Cloak room from a sudden
stroke of paralysis. He arrived
seemingly in good health and at a
few minutes before II O'Clock he
approached the door of the cloak
room to don his overcOat and hat
preparatory to calling on the Secre-
tary of State, when he staggered
and fell and died IN few minutes.
The official receptions by the cabi-
net officers were abandoned on ac-
count of the sad occurrence.

a marriage ceremony could make

The benediction was pronounced,
and we moved down to Esquire
HarDer's, where a splendid dinner
was in waiting for US; and we.
showed our appreciation of the din
ner by long stay at the table, and
busy all the time.
We then jumped into the saddle,
and three o'clock found us at the
widow Mathis, and IN a few min
utes out walked Mr.. J. p. Graham,
and Mrs. Mary V. Hooper, and in
the presence OF large crowd were
made husband and wife, and they
looked as nice as nice could be.
May the sun of happiness and
prosperity never go down upon the
path of the above named parties.
Mr.. Graham is another K.entuck-
ian, clever. modest gentleman. 1
think that Kentucky kinder" likes
our Tennessee girls, and well they
may, for they are intellectual, in
dustrious and social.
Well, the neighbors came in the
other day, and cut and hauled us
large wood-pile, so we are ready for
the winter, and / say a thousand
blessings upon them.
/ have been kindly remembered
by the bend folks these hog-killing
days, in ribs, sausage, backbones
and fresh beef; yes, on yesterday,
nice young lady sent me the finest
old ham and other good things to
eat for Christmas but for making
her blush 1 would mention her
name, but it is enough for you to
know, Mr.. Editor, that she lives at
home, near the river, and close to
the big road, and they have good
eating at that house.
You know cousin Collin; well, he
is as sound as dollar on the beef
question provided there are "sweet
taters" about, some one came near
knocking me clear out of the beef
ring, by putting in basket of sta
tiers" ahead of me, and away went
my beet. But as luck would have
it, the beef was large one, and the
first basket of 'taters gave out, and
my Eaters came in next. then came
the beef. Cousin Collin is as true
as steel, for he brought the beef to
the parsonage, now my fears are
gone, and we are good friends still.

EDITOR CHRONICLE:-The South
side is all alive ON the subject of
matrimOny. My near neighbor,
James I. Coke, was at the Parson-
age the other night, and said 1 must
go with him to GAINESVILLE Wednes-
day, and l complied with his re-
quest, and at one o'clock he and
Miss Sue A. Hale, of your city,
were united in holy wedlock. They
will never look any better, nor
happier, than when they stood be-
fore the hymeneaI altar.
We were then invited in to a fine
dinner, and as soon as dinner was
over, we started, at half past two,
for Mr.. Ben Harris, eight miles
away, to perform another marriage
ceremony at 5:30.
reached the place in good time,
and soon out walked MIR. Theo.
Fox with Miss Mamie Harris by
his side, and in the presence of
nice crowd of gentlemen and ladies,
they were united as husband and
wife. Then the company was in
vited In to sumptuous table, and
everyone eat, and eat, and some of
US got up from the table eating; in
fact, we could not help eating, for
it was good supper. John Prev
EFT was leading in the eating, and
he is the braveSt man in such
fight you ever saw-he leads well
and stands firm at his post.
Mr.. Fox is one of Kentucky's
cleverest gentlemen, and he has
taken one of Montgomery's incest
young ladies. We are glad to have
him an acquisition to the South
side.
/ then dropped down to Brother
John Hargrove's and stayed the
rest of the night. Bro. H has been
quite sick, but is now up and about.
Sister H is quite unwell, but is
better this morning.
/ left early for Mt. Zion, preached |
there that night, and next morning
started for the parsonage. On my !
way home made eight visits, and
reached home at three. Stayed !
there one day and two nights. then

at the close of the discourse, up
walked Mr.. w. B. Harper, (son of

group of walters, and the two were
united in holy matrimony. They
were a nice young couple, and

THE friends in this city of Mr.. C.
w. Crockett, editor of the Dover
Courier, will join with us in con-
graduating him on his election to
the position of Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Lower House of the Legislat-
ure. His election over so many
competitors was, indeed, grand
personal triumph, and we know he
will fill the place with credit to
himself and acceptability to the
Representatives. Crockett is a
grandson of the illustrious David,
and like his distinguished ancestor,
he always "sees that he is right and
then goes ahead" 1t is said that
as soon as those Legislative coons
knew that Crockett was after them,
they came right down to him.
Shake, Charles, shake.
