A PLEA FOR UNIVERSITIES.

In the discussion before the State Teachers
Association Oh Friday, the Rev. DR.. YouNG,
Of this city, spoke urgently in favor Of Uni
vesity education. He rose above the
smoke and stir" about the education of
the masses, and the demagogue appeals Of
which we have heard dd nauseam. He is
reported to have accused the Legislature Of
cheating the Universities Of Knoxville and
Nashville of large sums which had been
appropriated for their benefit. He spoke
strongly in favor of Universities in general,
and particularly of what was demanded by
this State in that way. There had been
too much legislation for the ears Of the poor
by those having political interests to sub
serve. The poor had been constantly
brought up everywhere for consideration,
and as he never expected to be raised to any
position either in Church or State, he would
take the opposite side, and raise his voice
for University for the education Of the
rich and the ambitious poor Boys could
not always remain in commonschools. They
must come out Of the country schools, and
the city high schools, and go into the Uni
versilies if we were ever to reach the true
standard.
We thank DR.. YOUNG for his utterance in
behalf of the highest order of education,
and in this connection take occasion to ask
why the University of Nashville is not in
eperation.

- The election on Thursday, resulted
for CLARK, Conservative, four hundred and
thirty-three, ROBERTSON, Radical, one hun
dred and Conservative majority
two hundred and thirty-seYen. In two of
the districts there was the most barefaced
usurpation and disregard of law by the
judges and clerks, which, if the votes are
thrown out, would increase CLARK's MAORI
ty TO three hundred. In DeKalb county,
the Herald says, 1--WE have heard from only
four districts in DeKalb, and these are the
Radical strongholds CLARK has seventy
one, and ROBERTSON two hundred and TWEEN
! ty-eight, leaving ROBERTSON one hundred
aud ffly-seven majority. In the remaining
districts in DeKalb, It's believed that CLARK
will beat ROBERTSON. There is, therefore,
very little doubt Of CLARK's election. The
election was for State Senator to fill the
vacancy of Mr.. FRAZIER, resigned.

The articie which We print elsewhefs
from the Boston Posi-, is worthy Of ths
thoughtful attention Of the Southern people.
The Baltimore Gazette, Of the same date, has
an article precisely concurrent With that OF
the Post We should not suffer these ad-
monitions TO pass unbeeded. The war has
taught US that an agricultural people must
ALWAYS remain more or less dependent
people, and that the special weakness Of the
South was, and is a want Of skilled labor
in the various branches of mechanical in
dustry, and Of the means aud appliances to
make the labor available. There is scarcely
a State at the South that cannot secure to
itself a part Of those advantages that spring
from the diversified industries b. which
wealth is acquired and all the necessary
wants of the people are amply supplied 1t
is these matters that should now claim the
earnesi attention of the Southern people.

New YORK, Nov. l7.-Government Revc-
nue. officials in Brooklyn, are investigating
a series Of frauds, of a stupendous character,
which have been perpetrated on the revenue
in the business Of distilling whisky and
alcohol. A short time ago, two distilleTies
were seized, one at Bellville and the other
at Brooklyn. They were owned By a COM
Tany Of Germans, Bohen and Angus being
at the head. The matter was compromised
with the Government by the payment Of
$4,000 for the release Of the distilleries.
The owners then went to work ostensibly TO
manufacturing buFing huid, on which there
i no duty. But the Government detectives
have been watching them closely, and yes
terday their distil!eries, as well as two otheFs
in New York and one in New Jersey, owned
by the same company, were seized.
Ii appears thai the manufacture Of burn
ing fluid il was shown that alcohol was dis
titled and then mixed with about ten per
cent Of turpent;ne and other drugs which
gave Is the appearance Of burning iuid. In
this condition il was taken from the disiillery,
and by a simple chemical process the tur-
penline and other mixtures were afterwards
taken from the casks and the remainder wa
alcohol, worth four dollars per gallon. On
each gallon the Government was deirauded
OF two dollars
Il is calculated that during the twenty
days that the firm has been engaged IN the
business It's members have cleared four hun
dred thousand dollars.
Another fraud Of worse character had
come to light IN Brooklyn.
A special Commissioner from Washing
ton will investigate the matter in this case,

Of Radical extravaganza which would open

Universal Amnesty-SuHrage Question
A Story COntradIcted and DOubIy
Ranaafad


A Story COntradIcted and DOubly
Repeated.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 17.-An authoritative
denial is furnished to the story that Chief
Justice Chase had audience with the Presi-
dent last night, in relation to the question of
extending universal amnesty to the South.
in return for partial suffrage. His interview
related to the causes of the delay in the
trial of JEFF. Davis. Judge Chase was not
present last night with the Cabinet as stated.
The Herald's Washington special says
Chief Justice Chase was at the White House
again, this evening, in consultation with the
President upon the subject of the compro-
mise measures, which the leaders of both
principal parties are now urging on Mr..
Johnson. The compromise is said to con-
sist III offering to the South general amnesty
in consideration of their accepting universal
suffrage, either of property or intelligence
1t is believed that this measure will be we'll
received by all parties. The President
seems inclined to give the subject a full and
fair consideration.
The Cabinet meeting to-day was attended
by all the members with the exception Of
the attorney General, who is on a visit to
New York. The meeting lasted several
hours.
The Times Washington correspondent
says: Chief Justice Chase was again with
the President tonight, and remained with
him until late hour, exchanging views with
Mr.. johnson relative to the proposition
mentioned in my last nights dispatch, to
grant general amnesty in consideration for
qualified suffrage. Gov. Swami and several
members of Congress were also in waiting
for an interview with the President, but the
evening being spent in consultation with
Judge Chase, the rest of the waiting visitors
failed to gain an audience. The amnesty
suffrage proposition meets almost universal
appreciation from the representatives of AL
parties.
