CLARKsY TENN. FRIDAY. u.
STEWART CoLLEGE.

We had the pleasure yesterday Of meet.
ing Rev. Dr. r. B. NJ cMullen, lPresident
of Stewart College, Clarksyille. He visits
Nashville on business connected with that
linstitution. 'hS'" Na'tiA Fh b,"'"
Stewart College has recently been trans.
ferred to the Presbyterian Synod of Ten
nessee. The sum of. one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars is desired to be
raised as an endowment fund. Fifty
thousand dollars have been already raised
by subscriptions in Clarksviile and
it is expected that ether parts of the
Synodical districts in the State. will raise
the balance. The success of the institu
tion does not concern Clarksville alone
Every section of the State is interestedin
it. The Presbyterians have no other College
in Tennessee, and it is to be hoped that
they will contribute literally to the enter
prise Nor. should that denomination be
left alone in the effort to build up first
class College in Tennessee. The friends
of the cause of education of every denomi-
nation should assist in the laudable un-
dertaking. The Presbyterian patronage
with moderate assistance from other denomi
nations would be sufficiently strong to in
sure the establishment of an institution
of learning of which the State might be
proud. Ii2 s'i -'t
DR. McMullen goes into the Presidency
of Stewart College with reputation that
affords sufficient guaranty of an energetic
and efficient administration. Ho is a
native of South Carolina and graduated
in the University Of Alabama, and is
thoroughly a Southern. gentleman in his
principles and education. He has been
the Pastor of the Presbyterian church, in
Knoxville for eighteen years. DR.. Nc
Mullen is also graduate of the Princeton
On J) Theological University ""HA s."
\ Clarksyille is we'll suited for the success
Ct the institution. 1t, is healthy place,
the standard of morality is high and it is
accessible by water the greater part of the
year, and will soon have railroad con
nectiohI With Nashville, Louisville and
Memphis. We know of nothing that can
prevent the success of the Stewart College,
and we commend it to the public as every
way worthy Of their patronage and sup

DEMOCRACY ON DEMoCRAcY.-Geo. ".
Jones is held up by his party in Tennessee
as the essence of democracy, and he has
been one of its representatives in Con
gress hard on to quarter of a century,
The Huntsville Democrat ia no less we'll
established as an exponent of the pure
faith. The following remarks of the lat
ter on the former exemplify the beauties
of party which has no single principle
in common, and is only held together by
the spoils of office. The Democrat says
-.NoSh. Banner. .'..
ellis Jones vote in this case Ton the
Homestead Bill is in keeping with his
squatter sovereignty notions, and his
demagOguism generally, and we hope his
constituents will mark him for it at the
next elcctiony let bthem expunge him
from the Democratic record, lie has fed
out of the Democratic crib long enough,
turn him out to grass and let him wander
off, if he will, into homestead among
the Black Republicans of the North and
West He has separated himself from
the South and the true Democracy in
sentiment and act, h Let him so and herd
with more congenial Black Republican
spirits, and be the Representative of their
views, if he and they choose. The South
is no place for him. The sooner she gets
rid of such citizens the better" ..7.l

AT the word Joke" Monsieur d 'Herbe-
court flew into violent passion, and to
prove how little our theory and practice
ever agree, he, who had written pamphlet
against dueling, challenged Gustave. V
At the idea of fighting, the ladies
thought it time to interpose. Aglae fol-
lowed Monsieur d'Herbecourt, who had
quilted the room to prepare his arms, and
Jenny rushed in, loudly upbraided Gus
tave with wishing to kill her papa q ha'
"Do not alarm yourself, mademoiselle,"
he said II will not raise an arm against
your father, he may kill me ~ at 800.
AS if that was her purpose in this little
schmel Of what earthly use would a

she exclaimed. "Tis far better than kill

Atthat moment d 'Herbecourt entered
with an ominous looking case Of pistols
under his arm he was frowning in a most
determined fashion. Aglae was following
his footsteps, and without a word spoken
she opened the case and showed him his
pamphlet against dueing, which she had
placed in the case in lieu of the distracted
pistols. The blood thirsty d'Herbecourt
looked rather confused, and here Gustave
stepped forward and solicited the honor
of Jenny's hand in marriage. ....s.-
DHerbecourt, delighted with son-in-
law whom he already esteemed, gladly
grasped his hand, and that evening as
Jenny satsat her window looking at the

The Printing Plunderers.

The intelligent Washington correspon-
dent of the Philadelphia North American
gives US some facts connected with the
proceedings of Mr.. Taylor's committee to
investigate the account, of A. G. Seaman,
the late Superintendent of the Public
Printing He states that ''enough evil
dence has already been obtained to prove
that engravers in Philadelphia and else,
where were often taxed twent-fve per cent.
on their bills, and the money paid over to
Mr.Wendell, the public printer. This per
centage was sometimes paid over in pre-
tended loans, but the collusion is too
transparent to escape detection, 1t is
easy to imagine what prices were paid for
to which the contractors willingly sub
mitted, being content with their profits
beyond them, The same sort of work is
now executed under contracts, made by
the present Superintendent of printing,
at fifty per cent. on the prices allowed by
Seaman The testimony shows that large
quantities Of paper, inferior to the samples
BY at least difference of thirty three per
cent, were accepted from favored con
tIdCluIS tHdl lHOusuHuS VI uOCuMGUlS
were receipted for as printed and bound
thst were never delivered that thousands
of yoluminous documents were paid for as
printed which were not printed, and that
thousands Of the most valuable publica
tions have disappeared without any ac-
count.
"Thcsc facts, which of themselves sum
up many hundreds of thousands of dol,
lars, illustrate only in small degree the
profit eacy and corruption which have late
ly grownlpp here.i They plain the man
ner in which the public expenditures have
reached their alarming proportions, and
how men who only few years ago were
needy, bankrupt or beggared, have come
to set up fine establishments, and sport
gay equipages, assume the vulgar airs OF
the new rich, and to affect the society oi
their betters, 1t is DO secret here that
most extensive combinations were made
in and out of Congress, by which these
abuses have been encouraged, under q
graduated system of distributing the spoils
or through other agencies equally crimi-
nal The time has come when these
knaves, some of whom have adrotly kept
in the back ground, should be exposed

DEMOCRACY IN MISSOURI contem-
porary gives the following portrait of de-
mocracy in Missoui--its features are not
unlike the democracy of ether States. The
"family likeness" is .unmistakeable:
The democrats of Missouri have a sim
gular mode of exhibiting their love for
the rights of man, for they propose to
make laws thus: No money received ffora
neighboring States shall be deposited with
brokers--foreign Insurance Agencies shall
be broken up by heavy taxation--no PER-
son shall be able to manumit at any time
slave--no man shall sell vine or beer in
Cape Girardeau county, on Sundays, but
may do so in st. Lous--all notaries shall
not be allowed to pursue their business,
except they are politicians, appointed By
party infuences-no steamboat captain
trading to ST. Louis shall hire free negro
--the money of infant heirs must be In
vested in bank stocks, and not loaned on
real estate securityl This is democracy. /,
