State official Mailing from the First Con

quarter must aspire to the race for Gov

he supposes, shall have ripened into tim.
Der suitable for that distinction. Upon a
basis of the same kind he will oppose the
preferment of East Tennessee Democrats
generally"
In your desire to do me an injury you
have by implication given u%tterance, ed
itorially, to a falsehQod. of which l be-
lieve you to be the Sole author. l now
say that in so far as the extract quoted

purpose or desire OF mine, it is false

Well, well, well! It's too funIyl We
cant refer to any prominent Official with

er men-in fact, there are other men,
though John may not believe it. If there
are doubts of our assertion in The minds
of discriminating readers, there can be
none now. Oh, no, John; we know you
were not a Solomon, but we still gave you
credit for too much d"iscernnent to go
and give your plan away by any "word"
or anything wrote" Some men can't
conceal a thing when they eve keep their

A Trim TO Cranberry.

A trip to Cranberry over the narrow.
gauge railroad is one of the most delight
full rides. The scenery is simply grand,
in som points being beyond comparison.
1t is safe to say that no railroad in the
country has penetrated so wild and seem
ingly inaccessible a spot as the gorge
on this line of road. The track is laid on
a very steep grade and curved and tun-
neled through a mountain fastness that
before had hardly been trod by the foot
of man, excepting a few revenue officers
who had once traversed it on foot in
search of wildcat stills; and they were
glad to get safely out of so wild a spot.
The construction of this road is a testi-
monial to the courage and pluck of the
Messrs. Pardee of Philadelphia, and q
good illustration of the possibilities of the
science of engineering. While taking a
trip through this country last week the
editor Of this paper was the recipient OF
the generous hospitality of the genial
Charles P. Toncray and family of Eliza.
bethton. Mr.. Toncray's residence is To-
Gated on one of the most romantic spots
in East Tennessee. From it is viewed
long and fertile valley, coursed by the
Doe river and fanked by the towering
peaks of the mountains. Mr.. Toncray
and Senator j. @. A. Remine were Of the
party to Cranberry. Both are good Re.
publicans, as everybody knows, and
wheel-horses when the party wagon is il
motion. Both are also fond of chatting
one another. Remine pointed out, as W.
travelled along, with the volubility Of
real estate agent, all the fine points il
Toncray's perpendicular farms, offering
to take the party over them in a balloon
When the train reached a remote corncl
of Carter county, where Toncray was &C
cused by the Democrats of doing tot
much political work-that is, too mucl
for the Dems-attention was directed to
tall, grim-looking specimen of the genu
Democrat and his opinion of Toncray anC
a Republican neighborhood repeated TO
the information Of the party. He declar
ed that at one time when the Lord wa
making men he ran out of souls and pu
gizzards in the lot on hand, and that tn,
"gizzard gang lived over thar, Charlie!
Toncray, having the most gizzard, bein!
the leader of the gang"
We return thanks to Col. Thomas E
Matson, the gentlemanly Superintendent
of the narrow-gauge road, for courtesie
extended during the trip.

A Renaissance.
The Opponents OF DIR. Alexander Go Back
Seventeen Years.

Col. L. G. Reeves led the band of pro
testers against the appointment of DR.
Alexander to be one of the Medical Board
OF Examiners. The beating of the Rev.
Jacob Smith, a minister of the Methodist
Church South, which took place nearly
seventeen years ago, was the strongest
card worked against the Doctor. The
newspaper publications of the occurrence,
we are informed, were filed with the au-
thorities at Washington. From the
Knoxville Press and Herald of April 81,
1869, we condense the following report OF
the affair:
"On Sunday, April %, 1869, the Rev.
Mr.. Smith had an appointment to preach
at Mr.. Peter Brakebill's school house,
near Logan's Chapel and about ten miles
from Knoxville. AS Mr.. Smith was ap-
preaching his place for preaching on
horseback, he was met by a mob, most of
them armed, who assaulted him in a most
brutal manner, accompanying their de-
monstration with r~ufianly oaths and
threats against his life. y y They
first attacked the horse, which they
knocked down with clubs, They then
assaulted Mr.. Smith, beating him over
the head with clubs and the but ends of
their pistols. Becoming fearful of dis
covery they then took him back about
half a mile into the woods, and having
compelled him to dismount they stripped
him to his shirt and proceeded to beat
him with clubs and switches until he was
well nigh exhausted"
Some one discovered the party and con-
veyed information to the waiting congre-
CATION. A squad of men started to the
rescue, but to find the assailants gone and
Mr.. Smith in a f~ainting condition.
A Knoxville paper, printed soon after
this, thus describes Mr.. Smiths appear
ance upon his arrival at Knoxville:
"His head is badly bruised all over by
blows from cudgels. His right arm is
nearly entirely disabled, and his hip is so
badly bruised that it is with difficulty he
can walk. His back and arms present a
horrible appearance. The skin was not
cut, the withes being too large to make
missions, but the bruises upon his person
are frightful and sickening to look upon.
From the top of his shoulders to his waist
the flesh presents a livid appearance, and
indicates a most severe beating"
DIR. Alexander, we believe, denies par
ticipating in the whipping of the preacher
further than being a spectator. Never
theless he, with others, was prosecuted
for damages and judgment obtained
against him. The Rev. Mr.. Smith still
carries the effects of his terrible treat
ment. He was disabled for the ministry
by an affection of the vocal organs and is
now engaged as a colporteur by the Meth.
odist Church South.
The question naturally occurs here,
Will Col. Reeves and his fellow Demo
Gratis be Bourbons forever-never forget
ting nor never learning a~ny,n,ngs The
Republicans long ago forgave Longstreet,
Mosby, Key, and other prominent Con-
federates, but u Democratic brethren
are not willing to forgive DR.. Alexander
for an act committed in his youth and at
a time when mems blood ran hot and
disorder prevailed.

Arrest of a Postma.tof IA, ~oar.yviiie.


Dispatches from Careyville, Tenn, an
nounce the arrest of Col. A. S. Mariner,
postmaster at hat place by o. s. Marsh
al Joe j. Twins, on charge of robbing the
mails. The case was worked up by
P~ostoffice Inspector Chas. E. Dosser, of
this place, during the past two weeks, On
complaints sent him from the department
at Washington.
The Knoxville Journal says: "The ac-
cused man was at one time a prominent
coal dealer and miner and for many years
a citizen Of Knoxville. He came here
during the war, and was nee lieutenant
colonel of the 14Oth Ohio infantry, a reg
iment which was on provost guard duty
in Knoxville some time in 1854. He
has been postmaster at C~areyville, we
think, only year or so.
eve understand that he is charged with
opening and rihing registered letters
which have passed through his office.
This, however, will be a matter for proof.
We presume he will be brought to Knox
vile for trial before one of the
United States commissioners. That a
nan of his intelligence should attempt to
rifle registered letters and hope to escape
detection is un%accountable, and until
more is known of the case condemnation
must be withheld"
