MASONIC FEMALE INSTITUTE,
CLEVELAND, TENN.

Ray. 7. N. Bradshaw, Principal.
YHjE NEXT SESSION OF THIS INSTITU-
| 6on will commence on Monday, the Isl day
OF Ssntember next, under the direction and pro-
fes,a,lsbip of the Rev. Mr.. BRADSHAW, who has
had charge of it for the last ten mouths.
The Trustees, in making this announcement,
w@d most especially appeal to all citizens who
have daughters to educate, to send them to this
ins;tutio1l Mr.. Bradshaw has had charge of the
sebool for the last ten months, during which time
be Has rendered ample, and, we might say, uni
vetssl satisfaction to the Trustees, patrons and
pun;ls There never was a better time for men to
edueate their daughters than now-money is
plenty everything farmer raises bears two
prices, and the Tuition to this School is the same
that it was when everything was at low figures.
What excuse can there be now for a man who
negIects to educate his daughter? None. Be-
cause here, in Cleveland. a healthy locality, we
baye an Institution, with an excellent Instructor
aided by a sufficient corps of Assistants, to in
sruct all who may favor it with their patronage.
Let one and all put their shoulder to the wheel
and build up such School as will be of incalcu-
liable benefit to us and an honor to our town.
We have the building and we have the teachers
the balance devolves upon the people. We hope
they may nobly perform their duty.
The Trustees are thankful to the citizens for the
patronage bestowed upon Mr.. Bradshaw hereto
fore and are glad TO know that under his admin
istration the Institution has not lost any of the
enviable reputation it sustained in the better days
of the Republic"

The Stay Law.

We publish on our first page the late Act Of
the General Assembly, passed for the relief of
debtors. There is no need now to discuss the
question of the proprety or necessity of such
a law at this particular time; it is now the law
OF the LAND, and such it is the duty OF all good
citizens to quietly acquescc in its provisions.
The Legislature yielded to what seemed to be
the commonly expressed wish of the people
aud II, as its advocates conterded, it will bene.
hit the mass OF the people, the few who are
likely to be injured by it, should not complain,
in view of the general good to be achieved.
1t may be pertinent here to observe that
many of the evil effects of a law which in teri
feres with contracts between individuals, may
be obviatcd by the exercise, among the people,
OF due proportion Of prudence aud fair-deai.
ing. Where the experiment of a Stay law has
been made, it has been observed that many in.
dividuals are disposed to take advantage of it
by not meeting their liabilities. even when they
have the power to do so that the law leads to
carelessuess and cxtravagance among debtors,
aud in the end, i'll many instances, has proven
q disadvantage to the class it was designed to
benefit while entailing permanent injury and
loss upon creditors. All this may be avoided
If all men will do they would have others do
unto them. Let every debtor consider his
moral obligation and resolve to pay whenever
he can, regardless of the Stay law remember
ing that this is but temporary reliri. and that
the time viii come when his engagements must
be met, and that they may be enforced at a time
when he is no better prepared to pay than he is
at the present The law having in:erfered for the
protection OF the debtor at the expense of the
creditor, the latter, the restraint is once
removed, is not apt to regard the convenience
OF the former, but will enforce his claims as
soon as the law will allow him. This has been
the result of all former experiments of this kind,
and should be guarded against by every man
hqudating, as far as he can, his liabilities with.
out respect to the Stay law, and preserving
that feeling of confidence and forbearance be-
tween creditor and debtor, so important ut a
time like the present.

The Tax Bill.

The Act to raise supplies for the present

remembers ever to have seen few people in
our streets on SalesClav in January, as there
was on last Monday. The town was almost
as quiet as on ordinary occasions, and but lii.
tie interest was manifested in any business, un.
connected with the war. OF course, no sales
were made. The several Boards met and at
tended to their usual duties.
