We are proud to see the Herald and

date for Congress, for we feel sure there
is no more worthy man in u district
than Col. Brownlow, and the fac. is
conceded by all that there is no man

eminent in its working details as is
Mr.. Brownlow, consequently there is
no one that would be half so well
qualified to do that which u people
need and want done: and more, no
man in our district has done more for
the promotion of the grand old Repub-
lican party in the way of building it
up and of healing dissatisfaction.
Therefore we think that it would be
nothing but right for our party to
nominate aud elect W. z. Brownlow as
our next Congressman. Our farmers

THAT SHOOTING D

Judge Snodgrass of the Supreme
Court is a pistol toter himself" al.
though our statutes speak of it as a
very grave offense. As a law dispenser
he has taken a solemn oath to discharge
his duties, and if any man is supposed
TO obey the laws implicitly, both IN
their letter and spirit, and to have Il
sacred regard for them, it is the man
who occupies Judge Snodgrass' exalted
position. He stands before the people
Of Tennessee and the entire country az
II wanton violator of the very law that
is intended to guard and protect the
person from the assaults of the vicious
and those who hold life in light es.
TEEN.
When the Judge used his gun he
attacked IN unarmed. enfeebled and
defenseless man. much his inferior in
physical strength. He may not have
been seeking his victim, but TIE facts
show that he was unlawfully prepared
to take his life or do him great bodily
harm when he did meet him. And so
the accident of meeting Johu r. Beasley
on the same day that Beasley com
mitted the alleged offense against His
Honor is not in the case at all.
Judge Snodgrass may be q finished
lawyer, ana he may be a gentleman as
long as people refrain from adverse
criticisms, but his attack on Beasley
and his attempt to take his life without
the least justification shows hat he i:
lacking in the essential qualities of q
safe jurist and a good citizen.
We say it with regret that he has
not only displayed his u~niitness for
the position he holds but has brought
an ~ineradicable shame, and disgrace
upon the State he serves, and upon the
other members of the court if they con
tinue their official association witt
him.
In this day and time there is no oc.
casion for any peaceable and law abid
ing citizens to carry a deadly weapon
much less to use one. And if til
