AMONG THE CHURCHES.

F. E. MOORE, Pastor

We are greatly encouraged by
large attendance which marks our
Sunday school and church services
In spite OF sickness and wintry
weather.
At the request OF the Women's
Council We will unite in mass
meeting in the interest Of the pro.
posed Blount County Industrial
Home, which is to be held in this
church next Sabbath evening at
6 80 o'clock. Let this worthy chris
tian enterprise have the prayerful
cooperation of all.
Miss Susie Baker writes from the
Choctaw Nation, Tamaha, Indian
Territory: ~ have organized the
first mission school among the
Choctaws, and have sixty names
upon the roll. We also have II
thriving Sunday School. l am
much impressed with the simplicity
and earnestness of these Indians"
We have a church of forty mem
bers there, and u revival meeting
is to begin in February. Let US re-
member Miss Baker, her school

The pastor has just returned from

valuable assistance in cond uctine

professions and renewals were
made and fifteen united with the

several others will unite at thei

gress. il this measure becomes a
Law, the demand for labotfn all pro.
ductive employments in this country
will be decreased. This will re-
duce the wages and earnings Of
every man, woman or child among
US; and reduce the purchasing pow

tute the great consuming force in
this land.
Every person, rich or poor, high
or low, old or young, who is not in
favor of lower wages and less COM
fort in life, should at once write a
postal card to the Congressman from
his or her district protesting against
the passage Of this bill and demand

unchanged. Write postal card to-
day, and urge every friend of yours
to do the same. Perhaps your &C

EDITORIAL.
IMPORTANT PENSION LAW.

Last December while John Houk
was duck hunting on Powell river,
one of the most important pension
laws was passed by Congress, max
ing "pension a vested right" and
also providing that "no pensioner
can be dropped without trial" This
is the way John Honk looks after
the interests of the old soldiers of
this district.
What if all who took interest in
the veterans took the same kind of
interest that John Houk takes?
Why, they would also have gone
duck hunting and that law would
have never been past last December,
and Hoke Smith would still be
dropping pensioners by the hundreds
every day. Why wasn't John Houk
IN Congress to help pass that act!
Because he don't care cent for old
soldiers and the common people only
on election day. He prefers seek
ing his own ease and enjoyment
rather than to be at his post looking
after the interests OF the people who
elected him.

COURT OF INQUIRY.

The members OF the court, before
which all the evidence was taken in
the Gibson case, have each written a
letter saying that if they had been
allowed to decide the case they would
have decided in Judge Gibson's ia
vor. Also the sworn prosecuting
attorney in the case has written a
letter in which he makes this state
meat: "While there might be room
fox argument on the question of the
eligibility of Henry R, Gibson in
the Grand Army of the Republic,
There was absolutely no evidence to
show that he had obtained his mem.
bership in Ed Maynard Post by
fraud or deception"
IL is rare case indeed where q
defendant is acquitted by both the
JUDGES and the prosecuting attor'
neg, but such are the facts in this
enc that they, as honorable mer
sworn to try the case, have to &C
knowledge the business of Judge
Gibson's claim. Who knows how
maay changes were made in the
record sent up to the commandcr-in'
chief by Frank Seaman? Even i

JUDGE H0UK'S LETTER.

Following is letter from Judge
Houk, and it will be noticed that it
was written from the House of Rep
resentatives and not in a boat while
on a duck hunting expedition:
"HoUsE OF REPRESENTATIVES,,
WASHINGTON, June rs, 1880.
"Honorables Justin s. Merrill and
Angus Cameron.
Gentlemen: | beg leave to ad-
dress you on the subject of the con-
6rmation Of Hon. Henry r. Gibson
as supervisor Of the census for the
first district Of Tennessee. And in
opening this matter l wish to lay
down three propositions for your
consideration;
First. No man can call his
private and personal character In
question and tell the truth.
Secondly. A man of superior
qualifications for the peculiar work
to be performed could not be found
in the United States.
"And thirdly, while he is and al
ways has been consistent Union
man, and a republican of rather a
strict order, yet as a member of the
constitutional convention. of the
state and both branches Of the legis.
lature thereof, his course has been
characterized by the most liberal
and bipartisan conduct.
'These three propositions are
true. The only charges | have heard
brought against him are two: That
he is a partisan and that he was not
born in Tennessee.
"To the first / answer, that if be.
ing a republican and having battled
honestly for republican principles
makes him a partisan, then, as hi,
friend, l admit that he is such. But,
if it is intended to convey the charge
that he is capable of being inau-
enced to commits wrong in the dis
charge of public duty, by reason of
his political prcjudices, deny the

accusation and refer to his whole
public record as conclusive evidence
that such charge is false.
True he has from time to time
denounced certain plundering
schemes of rings and other improper
combinations formed to prey upon
the rights Of the taxpayers OF Ten
nessee, such as the great railroad
swindle by which the state lost mil
lions by the forced sale of its inter-
ests in large number of railroads.
By this he has no doubt incurred
the displeasure of those who were
engaged in the giant fraud. Moro
recently he ably and periodically
opposed the reputation schemes Of
all parties and factions engaged in
them. But l do not see how any or
all of these things make him a par
tisan in any improper sense. Here
follow some references to men, some
living and some dead, not proper tc

Congressman been2 Why, at home,
duck hunting and trying to be-
smirch the character ofo our best
and ablest men. Not here fighting
against democrat, but trying to
drag the character of republican
down. The result of the vote on
this free trade bill was sent out and
printed ali over the country In the
daily papers, and we looked in vain
to see the name Of our Congressman
among those gallant republicans who
recorded their sentiments against it.
In that vote the Second district was
not represented. The man we
elected to show our sentiments on
such questions drinking and duck
hunting! Silence is always taken
for consent, so this Gibraltar Of re-
publicanism goes down as consent
ing to the passage of that free trade
measure. Are the people Of this
district going to stand this kind Of
Misrepresentation longer and again
elect such man as we have just be-
cause his father was good Con,
gresham? No, they will not.
Where would Judge Houk have
been with such an important m cas-.
ure to vote upon? He would have
been at his post of duty making
speeches against and voting agains
such bill. He never would hav,
let his people 60 unrepresented on
such matter. But we cannot af-
ford to elect his son on account o
his memory when that son goes
against the good example OF hi
father. We want and we are goinl
to have a man who will stay at hi
post.

Why johnson is a Free Trader.

. why Johnson IS a Free Trader.
! When the Hon. Tom Johnson,
the free trader and single taxer
from Cleveland, arose in Congress
just week ago and delared his de-
sire to see "steel rails put on he
free list although he himself was a
manufacturer ofsteel rails" the i'm
preston he conveyed to the country
was that he was II manufacturer OF
of such rails as are made by the
Carnegie, Illinoise, Cambria and
other companies, and that he,favor.
ed the entry of such rails duty free.
The Hon. Tom Johnson is "a
manufacturer of steel rails" but he
does not manufacture steam rail-
road standard rails, the variety Of
rail around which his controversy
with congressman John Dalzell
turned. His works at Johnstown,
Pa, are operated solely on girder
rails for street railways and lum-
Der roads, none of which exceed
twenty five pounds to the yard.
Mr.. johnson did not mention that
the price be gets for these rails is
$4S ton; that all his rails are
protected by patents taken out in
the name of A. ]. MaXam, presl.
dent of the company, or that his
company enjoys complete monop-
oily of the street rail trade of this
country. The girder rail of this
country is not manufactured out Of
it, so the Hon. Tom Johnson's com
pany has nothing to loose by the
free entry of rails. The only plant,
capable of making the standard
steel rail used by the steam road,
are the Bethlehem Iron Company
the Lackawauna Steel and Iron
Company, the Cambria Iron Com
pany, the Carnegie Steel Company
and the Illinois Steel company
The products of the Pennsylvania
Company, and the Maryland stee
company has been bought out b!
