Jan. 1.-THE continued closeness
of the weather, the snow, rain and
cold, of which we have had a super
abundance for winter in this section,
make business dull we meet at
the corner stores and talk over the
weather and events that are trans
plring in other sections, read the
newspaper, wonder who will be the
next President, and wonder if the
disease of dishonesty that has lately
broken out at the State Capitol, in
the case of ex-Treasurer Polk,
will spread and become contagious
in this section; we hope otherwise,
and recommend that Morgan county
be thoroughly quarrantined against
the disease, and that we look well
to ourselves and our neighbors, that
the system is in proper condition to
withstand all temptation.
Old Mr.. Peter Simple, after a
diagnosis of the disease, found that
it originated in having too large a
brain, and that the distemper might
be cured by a smiths vice and
screw; if he was unsuccessful in
the appliance in his day, it requires
at the present time, perhaps, only
another turn or two of the screw,
especially where the disease has made
itself manifest.
Commercial travellers visit us,
however severe the weather, and
keep their patrons supplied. Our
genial friend Mr.. Gooding, of War
rem county, stopped a day or two in
transition, delayed by stress Of
weather and impossible roads. His
good friends here gave him a hearty
bumper. Why do you give Climber
land county the go by, it has nc
newspaper, and is in this Judicial
district? There are people in
Cumberland county that would
patronize our paper if they were
informed of its being their legal
representative. u.

SENATOR AND TREASURER.

"Harris was elected on the first
ballot" was the news sent over the
State and the country on Tuesday.
His record is universally admitted
to be a good one, and he and Ten
nessee have kept close together for
many years in a union that is only
likely to be dissolved by death. Mr..
Harris was Representative in the
Thirty-first and Thirty-second Con-
crosses, and was Governor of this
State for three successive terms.
He was first elected to the US.
Senate in 1877.
Hon. Atha Thomas, a prominent
lawyer of Franklin, was, on the 18th
inst, elected State Treasurer. He is
fifty one years old. lie has never
been a very public man, but he
entered as a Democrat the first
Democratic Legislature after the
war, in lS69-70. His business
abss;tgy-is aaab to be very afle, E Tiiiia
his CHARACTER, generally, is unim-
peachable.

EX-TREAsUaEa POLK.

Polk, the defaulting Treasurer, is
once again in Nashville, but N Jail,
and awaiting the decision Of his
fellow-citizens. Opinion is con-
siderably divided as to his culpa-
bility and the punishment he de-
serves. He is said to be more
sinned against than SHINING, and
that at heart he is a we'll meaning
man. We have not the least doubt
of all this, and where the law can
reach let it touch those who in
Auenced Polk to forget his high
responsibilities; but ii there is any
justice or love of law and order i'll
Tennessee, mere sentiment will not
stand in the way of melting to the
fragrant defrauder the penalty Of
his crimes. We are very doubtful,
however, if there is sufficient author
ity to sweep aside the corrupt and
interested and culpable influences
surrounding the prisoner, and, upon
conviction, sentence him, and see
that the sentence is carried out. II
Tennessee is strong enough to do all
this, both the friends and the de-
tractors of the State will be surprised
and pleased.

HAWKINS AND BATE.

AT Nashville, on Monday, Govern
or Hawkins, in a graceful and
dlgnltied speech, laid aside the tolls
and responsibilities of office, with a
feeling that he had honestly done
his best to deserve we'll of his State.
We believe history will endorse his
policy, generally, as sound. His
successor, Governor Bate, who takes
up the greatness thrust upon" him,
is from his past record, deserving
the support of honest and earnest
men, and every one interested in the
well-being of the State should work
and pray that the public veal only
will be the first consideration of the
''powers that be-"

The large circle of friends in
Rugby, and Scott and Fentress
counties, enjoyed by Mr.. and Mrs.
Cyrus Clarke, and the members of
their family, will be panied to hear
of the death of Mr.. Cyrus Clarke,
jr., which event occurred on Tues
day, at Allegheny City, Pa. The
deceased gentleman was educated at
Allegheny College, and graduated
with honor. At the age of twenty
years he entered the Tradesman' S
Bank, Pittsburg, as Cashier, where
he remained till the time of his
death-sixteen years.
The warmest sympathy will be
extended to the widow, the four
children, and the family, so we'll
known in this section, upon their
great loss, and the loss to the COM
munity of man who was, by uniyer-
sal consent, honest all round: and
no higher tribute can be paid a
man.

The Bonapartists have been giving
a feeble kick at things political and
things governmental as they find
them under the Republic. Prince
Napoleon has suddenly come to the
front with a manifesto declaring
how things all around, from the
center of society to the circum-
ference, are incompetent to carry on
a sound existence. The placards,
some six thousand, we're speedily
torn down by the police, and the
ayowed offender arrested and driven
off to the Conciergerie, where,
thinking of his fate, he probably
exclaims with another prince:

coINcIDEN! OPINIONS.

Mr.. Compton's letter, in another
column, is just to the point, and
comes from one who knows what he
is speaking about. He is a practi--
cal man and an intelligent farmer
one of those PIONEER uen so ab,o-
lutely necessary in all new countries
and conditions of life.
He has every confidence in the
soil of the plateau, both theoretically
and practically, and has no object
in pushing this section, other than
a genuine desire to see the country
open up, and have all its real and
great worth intelligently utilized.
His is an independent opinion Of
the soil and its CAPABILITIES. the air
and the climate. He is between
two great interests of landowners,
the Morgan county people and the
Fentress people, and is on a sort Of
Tenn Tiddler's ground, Tl,eresis
one important coincidence, however,
and that is the exact agreement Of
Mr.. Compton's opinions with the
assertions made by both the Board
of Aid and the parties concerned
with the disposal of the Clarke
lands.
