To the Editor of The Morristown Gazette
The fall rains have come at last
and we are bidding adieu to the
longest drought and most protraet.
ed dust season ever known in this
mountain section.
Everything is quiet and every,
body seems in a good humor. Thi:
is specially true of our Democratic
friends who are still rejoicing over
their late victory.
The American citizen of African
descent for a few weeks after the
election was greatly exercised over
the future of his personal freedom
the right of franchise, etc. He has
quieted down, however, and now
uncle Cesar, aunt Dinah and all the
rest of them are as serene as ever.
That they could have become SO
FESTIVE without any grounds what
ever shows how they have been ms
led and mistaught by those who, for
20 years manipulated their votes
and fixed their political status.
Under proper treatment of Mr..
Cleveland administration they will
have their eyes fully opened as to
who are their real friends and in
the future will SO vote as to disrupt
the "solid South" at least in so far
as that selidity is based on the coler
line. We commend this thought to
the kind consideration of those hu-
name politicians who have been so
worried over the "solid South"
= | never realized, Mr.. Editor, how
much we had escaped in the defeat
OF Mr.. Blaine until l read his Au-
gusta speech. That speech will Ger
tainly pass down int history as the
most unnecessary and disgusting
ebullition of disappointed ambition
that has ever occurred in this na~
ton. Farewell, Jimmie, we are
sorry for you and sincerely hope
that In that retirement you so much
merit you will learn to think better

The career of Cadet John A. Lo.
gan, Jr., son of the would be Vice
President has como to a sudden end
at the Military Academy at West
Point. He resigned recently to
avoid expulsion. On account of his
fathers prominence he was favored
by the officers and upper class men,
and no presumed on these favors
and committed offences which could
not be overlooked. In October he
committed what was called breach
Of confinement, and for this he was
sentenced to thirty days confines
ment in the light prison. He had
been there three weeks when the
officer in charge found that Logan
had gone out The officer watched
for bis return, and on searching him
found in his possession n bottle Of
liquor. The penalty for bringing
intoxicating liquori into the barracks
is absolute dismissal. Charges were
made against Logan aud he was
tried By court martial. There
was nc doubt what the result would
be, and before the sentence was
promulgated be resigned and his
resignation was accepted.

OUR NASHVILLE LETTER.
NASHVILLE. Dec j. 1854.

NASHVILLE, Dec ], 1884.
To the Ed tor Of the Moristown Gazette:
The city has now quoted down
and the only ripple on the politica
surface is that caused by the mo.
tons of the many Office seekers whC
are striking out for the banks o.
Uncle Sam and of the Old Volun-
teer. Candidates for Secretary OF
State continue to increase. l am
glad to see that East Tennessee
seems likely to concentrate her
strength, and that like the tabled
mouse she may step in and get the
meat her two powerful opponents
are wrestling over. ...a
l have heretofore mentioned as a
candidate for State Treasurer Hon.
T. NJ. Mcconnell of Chattanooga,
but he informed me in that city yes
terday that he was not a candidate
and would not be for any one of the
State offices.
Though month is yet to elapse
before the meeting of the General
Assembly, a large number of the
members elect have selected their
seats personally or through friends.
This plan. of choice is detrimental to
the representatives from the back
counties, who come q day or two
before the assembling only to find
all the front seats menopolized and
they may "kick" as much as they
please, for the majority are content
with their seats and will not listen
to suggestions cfany new allotment.
One of the NEST important
measures that will come before
the General Assembly is a registra-
ton law 1t is certainly needed.
1t need not apply except to pspu-
lous towns, for in the country dis
triots and small towns there is lit
tie danger to be unprecedented from
illegal voting, for everybody knows
everybody else. Bet in the cities,
many knOw-their next doer neigh
bors only by sight. A law requir-
ing registration, with previous iden.
the books to DO closed
several days before the election,
would shut off many itinerants and
repeaters. In the Thirteenth dis.
Lrict of this county, at the Novem>
Der election, the polling list showed |
hat more than five hq4dred votes
we're cast than there are voters in |
he district Most of them were |
negroes, who are hard to identify |
,y white men, especially when they
.hange their coats and hats. These |
epeaters always have friends hang
ng around TO tell where they
don't live, in case their vote is
hallenged.
The gambling act and the four
nile law viii be attacked strenu-
usly at this session, but most as
uredly without avail

Gen. w. C. Whitthorne is men,
toned very prominently as Cleve.
lani's Secretary of the Navy. His
long service rs chairman of the
house naval committee and his very
valuable searching Investigations
into that department fitted him
above all others to take up its man
agement and purify the service.
The nation owes Whitthorne ex-
aetly this place The whole power
of the radical administration was
brought to bear to crush him and
decency was defied aud thievery
upheld in the return Of Robson to
the House to meet his accusers with
a brazen "what.are- you going to do
about-it?" Whittho-ne maintained
his ground and despite all opposi-
ton established it Of record that the
of the Navy was cor
rupt and millions were swallowed
up in the pockets of Republicans
and their pets and pals. 1t was one
of the surest exposes made, and one
of the rottenest The man who
probed into those matters necessari-
ly learned the needs and details of
right management, and besides de-
serving the csuntry's gratitude, he
can requlte the reward il thus made
by a peculiar adaptedness TO the
needs of the case. Whitthorne
ought to be Secretary of the Navy.
