Marshal Grimshaw is said here to be right
in his contention that he has another
year to serve. Members Of the Minnesota
delega ton say he will succeed himself
and that Eli Warner will also be reap
pointed surveyor general. both senators
having made up their mind to this.
General Warner will be reappointed.
because during his second term the sur

be completed and there is no reason why
a new man be named to put on the hnfsh-

man like Warner who has experience

Some months ago Mr.. Eldridge
came to johnson City from Washing
ton through the influence of Mr..
Brownlow, and told our people he
wanted to build sample mile of road
in or around Johnson City. He further
gave us to understand that the govern
ment would furnish the machinery and
a road expert and all we had to do was
to pay the labor bills. The proposition
was accepted, the machinery came
along Mt once and part of it was put to
work on Walnut street. In a short
time there appeared upon the scene an
agent of the makers of the machinery
aud the city has been perpetually i'm
portuned to purchase the same. The

Homer WARTS Case.

Now that Homer d. Ward, accused
of grave offenses at the Tennessee Odd
Fellows home at Clarksville, has been
caught and brought back to Tennessee,
it is announced that desperate efforts
are going to be made by his attorneys
to get him ont of his trouble. 1t is
even said that an effort may be made to
secure a change of venue on the ground
chat the people in Clarksville and
Montgomery county are prejudiced
against him.
There is little douot that q long
struggle is to be made over this man,
and that if he is not saved from punish
ment it will not be the fault of those
who are looking after his interests.
The fact that his lawyers are going to
do everything possible to prevent the
conviction of their client is commenda-
BILE, in a sense, but this should not de-
ter the courts from Furnishing him if he
deserves punishment.
The circumstances at GAINESVILLE,
Wards subsequent fight, and other
acts indicate his guilt If he had been
an innocent man he would not have
run away. On the contrary, he would
have faced his accusers and forced them
to prove THEN charges. A good deal of
time and money has been expended in
effecting the capture of this man. Those
who have devoted themselves to the
cause think he is guilty and that he de-
serves severe punishment. If he es-
oapes, they will have little faith in hui
mainly aud others will feel like appeal
ing in future to Judge Lynch, Nash
vile American.

'No, the matter of the place for the
encampment of the Third regiment is

by Adjutant General Hannah. 1t is a
nice place but we considered the ex-

Johnson City too great. The facilities
for a large number of men to be ac-
