A GENTLEMAN.

1t is said that Mr.. Leonard W. jerome
has given $4,000 in United States bonds
to Princeton College, the interest of
which is to be expended annually in the
purchase of medal, to be awarded to
the graduate who shall be declared each
year, by vote of his classmates, TO be
the first gentleman in his class. In
his letter to DR.. Mclean, President of
the College, Mr.. Jerome observes that
he has not forgotten remark made by
the doctor to Mr.. Jerome's class whilst
the latter was in college, when the doc
tor said, Young gentleman, with all
your getting l advise you to get little
manners" This remark, Mr.. jerome
thinks, is still applicable, and that the
most pressing necessity Of Young Amer
lea just now is the article then recon-
mended by DIR. Mclean. AS to what
constitutes the character of gentle
man, the donor of the $4,000 says that
due regard for the feelings of others
lies at the foundation of it.

PROGRESS oF CATHOLICISM.

The Philadelphia Ledger, pretty good
authority, observes that ever since DR..
Pusey commenced his great reactionary
movement in the Episcopal church, the
tendency to restore ancient forms of
worship wherever the English language
is spoken or the Protestant religion has
spread has been one Of the marked char
acteristics Of the time. Prior to this,
men Of different spirit had it all their
own way. A supposed Unitarian was
the Archbishop Of Canterbury. Nor was
il until the trial of DIR. Hampden that
that tendency was stopped. But since
then the two antagonishc forces Of
authority and science in religion have
stood face to face, confronting each
Their. Authority, antiquity, ritualism,
have seemed TO sweep everything before
them, while yet antagonism to old forms
has become more bold, more aggressive
in its claims, aud more powerful in its
opposition. In the Episcopal Church all
this is easily illustrated. The restora.
ton of Gothic forms of architecture, an
cieut liturgies and robes and ecclssias
teal orders, confession and absolution,
show the tendency of one Of these forces,
so that while the Pope is losing power

The New York World closes up an

belligerert sentences. The question
arises will the people of the North who
are not Radical stand up TO them. If
they do we may have another unpleas-

Radicals back down: 1--WE have not
only the President and the Supreme
Court on our side, but large majority
Of the whole people. If our institutions

moulded, the majority possess the right,

DAMAGES BY THE WAR.

The Hon. Joshua Hill, of Georgia, il
is announced, has presented Congress a
claim of several thousand dollars for
losses and depredations which he alleges
he suffered during the war, from the
Union army. Mr.. Hill states that his
claim rests upon different basis from
other Southern claims for damages, and
that it is more meritorious than they,
because, in consequence of his undis-
guised Union sentiments during the pro-
gress of the war, he was granted by the
Union Generals a safeguard, notvith-
standing which he was a sufferer to a
large amount from the raids and depre
dations of the Union troops. No action
has yet been taken on Mr.. Hills claim.

When Moslem is praying and
feels disposed to cape or yawn,
it is the discipline Of his creed to try to
suppress the desire and to close his
mouth, for fear that devil may enter
and take possession Of his person. A
similar discipline is said to exist among
the Hindoos, who always twirl their
fingers before their mouths while yawn-
ing, to prevent evil spirits from gaining
entrance into their bodies. We suggest
to those churches that have dull minis
tiers, similar rule. There are many
things which Christians might learn
from the heathens. Let our churches
adopt the motto Down with yawning

VIOLENCE AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.

If we take up Northern paper, it is
quite impossible to escape a grand dis
play of types announcing one or more
atrocities committed upon unofiending
manhood and defenseless innocence.
The sound of the horror goes in at one
ear of the North and out of the other.
Indeed, crime follows crime so rapidly
in that section, that no time is allowed
the public to dwell upon any particular
instance. Like pebbles cast into the
water, they make a ripple upon the sur
face, and then disappear forever 1t is
not thus-it is not permitted to be thus
in our section. An outrage here rings
all over the North, reverberates through
the churches, and finally settles down in
the halls of Congress There it becomes
a basis of angry legislation, and all over
the loyal part of the country, material
for party capital Our own misnamed
Legislature has been thrown into convul-
sions by the murder of Case and King.
man, and is making that pretext for
hostile legislation. Here is dispatch
from Nashville under date of the 10Th:
On Saturday after the assassination of
State Senator Case, Deputy Sheriff King
man, of Obion county, Tenn, was shot
down in the public road by some of the
same murderers. Roland Green, and
other Deputy Serifs in Obiop county
have been notified that they will be driven
away if they dare TO hold another SEES
sion of the Union League.
These murders have intensified the
feeling in the Legislature, and have
driven all hestating members into advo-
eating the passage of the armed militia
law, and a law enfranchisiDg freedmen
is certain.
Viewed in its political results more
fortunate occurrence could not have
taken place for the Republicans than
Senator Cases assassination. Grape has
been hung on the doors Of the Senate
Chamber, and the vacant desk and seat
have been draped with national flags and
a badge of mourning.
None more than ourselves can con-
denim and detest outrage, and none re-
greet this circumstance more. These
murders should be avenged, but not by
Brownlows militia. The guilty wretches
should be hunted down and punished by
the civil tribunals. Every virtuous man
in Tennessee should set his face against
crime. Our situation demands it. If
Union man is killed, it is made pretext
for clothing the negro with the ballot. If
a Southern man is butchered, there is no
noise made about it at Nashville. The
more, perhaps, the better for loyal ma
liOnants

COMMERCIAL FAILURES.

By q report made by commercial
house in New York, it appears that
during 1866 there we're 632 commercial
failures in the Northern States of the
Union, of which the total liabilities
amounted to $l7 $4,000. This is a
greater amount than has been lost by
failures in the Northern States during
any year since 1861. In 1865 there
we're $50 failures, with $l7,625, 600
losses. In the entire country during
1865 there were 1906 failures, with
$50, 7s3, 900 losses.

following point: Although you may

trust that upon an occasion like this you
will not refer to such body for paria-
mentary rules, and will confine your

that each voter should pay poll tax OF
twenty five cents TO defray the expenses
Of the delegates to Washington.
The Bureauites beat the Independents,
whom they call "rebs," all TO pieces, the
Independent man getting only ll5 votes,
against 202 for the Bureauites. In honor
Of this victory il is said that the United
States flag was flying over the Freed

however, not being inclined to yield the
field, concluded to purge the polls, when
upon examination only fifty dollars were
found in the pol-tax book. This was
conclusive proof that two hundred legiti.
mate votes had been polled, whereas the
Bureau man alone got over two hundred.
OF course such swindling on the part of
the Bu.roses upset the whole arrange

Montgomery from being represented at
Washington. As Gen. Howard is in the

that we published, year or more ago,
the statement of one of our townsmen
that he stopped chills by taking good
apple vinegar. Perhaps the virtue
of the composition recommended
by the Dawson gentleman is
found mainly or entirely in the
vinegar. Here is his remedy: "For an
adult, take a tablespoonful of prepared
chalk, put it in little less than half a
tumbler''of good vinegar, and drink while
it effervescss. Take one such dose the
evening before the day you expect re-
turn Of the chill, and another next day
