In Squire Martins Court.

Last Monday morning John Will
liams, Walter Mcqueen and Henry
Howard were up before Squire Martin
on charge OF stealing a suit Of over
alls and coat from John Montgom-
cry, the whole outfit being colored.
Montgomery is ], E. Crandall's coach
man and man Of all work around the
premises.
On Sunday Montgomery bad dofIed
his overalls and left them in the sta.
BILE on Mr., Crandal's premises. On
Sunday afternoon about three o'clock
these things were taken from the sta
BILE and, as result, the parties above
named were arrested as being the par.
ties who stole them. Williams and
Mcqueen swore that they watched
outside while Howard entered the sta
BILE and stole the goods. Williams was
wearing the overalls during the trial
and swore that he paid Howard a
quarter for them, as they would not
fit Howard, and were, therefore, of no
use to him. Howard swore that Will
liams went in and stole the things,
and Williams swore that early in the
morning Howard was wearing the
coat, but later in the day hid it he
(Williams) knew not where; and so
the case went, one swearing against
the other. Sufficient proof was ad-
duced to show that the goods belonged
to John Montgomery and were found
in the possession of Williams. They
were both sent to Jail, in default Of
$500 bond.
Mcqueen was suspected of having
stolen pair OF shoes, but he proved
that they were given to him, and he
was allowed to go free.
Howard and Mcqueen claim that
they went from Knoxville to Bristol
with the circus and were returning to
Knoxville when they stopped in john
son City and were joined by Williams,
who says he was gong along with tho
ther two to see his sister, who lives in
Knoxville.

HON. JOHN NJ. TAYLOR
Rips RepublIcanism up the Back and
Makes the Fur Fly.


Hon, John NJ. Taylor, of Henderson
county, addressed large and intclli.
gent audience, consisting of ladies'
Democrats and good number of Re
publicans, the latter having been
especially invited.
Mr.. Taylor wad d into his subjects
and handled them from start to finish
without gloves. He is q powerful
speake er and splendid reasoner. HIS
speech consumed about one hour and
a hall, and he used plain. sold, logical
arguments in maintaining the posi-.
ton OF the Democratic party before
the country, explaining and citing In
stances where, as party, it had heen
of incalculable benefit to the whole
country since it assumed control oi
the government having kept its
pledges ard promises in the face
of opposition from Republican and.
Populistic sources, and would
continue the bestowal OF benefit to
the people in wise, sagacious and eco
nomical legislation,
He pitched into the Republican
party aud proved it to be one Of op-
| p, ession and ruin. He showed that
the Democratic parry at present was
in a position to win in the contest
which is about to take place, and
urged every Democrat to 60 to the
polls on Tuesday and show his love OF
country by voting for old Peter Turney
and the balance Of the Democratic
ticket
He failly skinned that delectable
and sweet scented individual, h. clay
evans, who thinks the people of the
South need discipline, especially Of
Tennessee. He showed this man, who
dares to aspire to Old Pete's position,
to the audience in his true light, and
proved by that fellows own record
that he was totally unfit for the la
borer or any other class OF people, who
love freedom and despise tyranny, to
think of hosting to the high Office OF
governor. He showed that while b.
clay evan was a clever and nice man
in some particulars, he would issue
scrip as he had done, that was worth
seventy-fve cents on the dollar il he
got the chance.
Mr.. Taylor dealt with all the issues
of the day, giving clear and sound
reasons why the Democratic party
should govern this country, and he
also showed that the Republican party
had shown its utter inability for thirty
years to give the people an honest and
economical administration but that it
was the best party on earth to run the
government in debt at the expense oi
the people, both white and colored,
who placed it in power. Mr.. Taylor's
speech was powerful defense ef Dem
ocratic principles, and he made a
manly appeal to the Democrats to
stand firmly by these principles, and
to repulse and drive back their enemy
the evil designed Republican party
and completely snow it under at the
ballot box. which could only be done
by united effort and harmonious ac-
ton in the ranks of Democracy. The
Democratic party had shown its ca
pacity to withstand the Internal and
wanton abuse in the past and present
and it had the manhood and capacity
to likewise overthrow and subvert the
schemes Of the Republican party to
/ wreck--and ruin good government,
, which it had so effectually done when
in power.

During the past social season a certain
young Englishman has been conspicuous
among the very fashionable set and a
frequent guest at the arlstocratic clubs
Of the city.
He posed as a great swell and had in
Productions to a number OF the best
families among the Four Hundred. Not
a few envied his popularity while the
season was at it's height, but now public
opinion has changed in regard to him.
He left New York suddenly on Satur-
day last by one Of the outgoing steam
ers, II he went away, 1t is said. under
a very dark cloud. In fact, he was
tee of his indignant fellow-coun-
trymen, and he did not have time even
to leave cards with those who had SO
generously entertained him during his
stay in New York or to e regrets to
teas, dinners, and parties to which he
had been invited.
said to have been the discovery that the
young man was either a confirmed thief
or a hopeless kIeptomaniac; Money,
jewelry n other. valuables belonging
been disappearing mysteriously all Win
ter long, and 1t was not until a few days
ago that this systematic thieving was
traced to him.
Then there was an explosion. He was
visited last Friday by n vigilance COM
mittee, made a full confession of his
guilt. and was told that he must get
out of town within .twenty-four hours.
This he did, only taking an hour or so
to pack his gripsaclt. Since this expo
sure, II has been learned that the young
man had by 10 means a savory repu .
tation in England. and that he had been
guilty of the same dishonest practices
in London. 1t appears that he was re-
ceived in New York entirely on trust.
Z n nd come loffaru Of tnfrNIttoftnn which
have been spurious. AS he was of
good address n polished manners, his
, sponsors among the o Hundred were
easily deceived by his wiles, n he has
left them all in a very embarrassing
position.
