Progress Of Civilization In Tennessee.


Tennessee, under the Governorship Of Parson
Brownlow, seems to be progressing towards
civilization in very crab-like fashion. The
violence which used to mark the bitter family
feuds in our border States was aggravated by
onr late civil war; and although the war has
been extinguished its "wonted fires" still burn
beneath the embers and burst forth once in
while with lurid glare. Thus special tele-
gram to the HERALD gave yesterday the details
of a terrible affair at Dyersburg. in East Ten
nessee, which Corsica itself could scarcely
surpass. A sheriff attempted last Tuesday to
arrest an old man named Duncan in the street
The old man drew pistol and fired, shooting
off the thumb of the sheriff. A son Of the
latter then fred pistol, killing the old man,
whose son, coming up at the moment, fired,
instantly killing the son Of the sheriff, who at
once shot young Duncan through the heart.
AS all the parties engaged in this murderous
affray have numerous relatives still further
trouble is apprehended. The same telegram
which brought this news announced that in
Memphis on Tuesday night Jim Burns, a noto-
rious thief, who was arrested while breaking
into store and was conveyed to Jail, fell upon
another prisoner named Mccarthy, lying asleep
in his cell, and nearly strangled him. Aroused
by this attack and frenzied with pain, Mccarthy
assaulted Burns in return, and before the
guards could interfere "gouged his eyes out
of their sockets" When Parson Brownlow
breaches again in favor of sending mission
aries to foreign countries would it not be well
for him to recommend also the cause of home
missions?

Peter Cooper and the Board OF Education.
Peter Cooper is out again with protest
against alleged excessive expenditures. This
time the chairman of the Citizens Association
denounces the Board of Education for what he
charges as their dishonest manner Of estimating
the amount necessary for the support OF the
public schools. Without going into the de-
tails of his indi,tment, we may mention that
the main point in it is the statement in the
estimate Of the Board that the whole number
of pupils taught in our public schools in 1867
was 207, $40, and, consequently, the sum Of
nearly three million dollars is required for
1868; whereas, in fact, AYERS Mr.. Cooper, the
number of pupils was only about ninety
thousand. Even at the annual per cap;a1 allow
ance Of ten dollars, TO which figure for each
pupil the amount has risen from four dollars in
1862, three millions would, Of course, be an
excessive estimate fox ninety thousand pupils.
"Ii," Mr.. Cooper says, 3the expense of public
instruction is to increase in the same ratio in
the next five years as it has increased in the
past-namely, from sL50o,00O to S2,900,0 1000
the expense, which woull then be about
$4,000, 900, will be very difficult to be borne"
We have strongly advocated the most liberal
provisions for public school instruction, but
taxpayers of all classes are deeply interested
in knowing whether the increased demand
upon the Treasury for educational purposes is
based on false estimates or not. The striking
discrepancy between 2o7, $40 pupils, according
to the Board Of Education, and ninety thou
sand, according to Peter Cooper, certainly
justfes US in calling upon the Board for a full
and explicit answer TO the serious charges
brought against them by the Citizens Asso-
| ciation.

V~S Azosoes MOVIE IEV@ GuEVVOe
In yesterdays HERALD we printed a. tele-
gram from Berlin to the effect that Count
Bismarck, at q conservative dinner in that
city, had pronounced war between France and
Prussia phantom. Some few hours before
we had learned that Napoleon's address on
New Years Day was accepted by all the
governments of Europe as pledge Of peace"
We have been so often cheated with the words
"pledges of peace" in the mouths Of European
rulers, that we have come to consider such
pledges as assurances Of war;" The tele-
grams Of previous day have about them
moro the air Of truth, for the simple reason
that they are more warllke.
Lord Stanley, we are told, is opposed to
Russian policy in the East The Ottoman
Porte has addressed notes to France and
England protesting against Russian intrigue
in provinces forming integral parts OF the
Turkish empire. What France intends to
do we know not as yet The English
government, it appears, sees its duty and
is prepared to discharge it. 1t Is undeniable
that the policy Of Russia at the present mo-
ment in regard to the affairs of the Turkish
empire Is meddling, unkind and unjust in the
extreme. Since the close of the Crimean war,
in 1856, the Porte has tried to act an honorable
part and to the extent of lis ability has sought
to discharge its pecuniary obligations. This
much cannot be said for Greece, which has
notoriously failed in both these particu-
lars. II has neither paid its debts
frsn - Ia II
and proper result is thai Turkey has the SYM
pathy of the Western Powers and that Russia
clings to Greece. The reason is obvious. The
Western Powers have no reason to wish Russia
dominant in the Dardanelles and the Adriatic,
but they have a wish to be reasonable to an
honorable though weak ally. Russia, under
the pretence OF being the friend Of the Chris
tan population in The East, pursucs most
selfish policy. The Western Powers see this
and they will stand by Turkey to the last
France, it may be taken for granted, will
agree with England in this matter Both
Powers are prepared to oppose Russia in
any aggressive policy she may pursue in
the Eas. Austria is certain to join them
1t is in the power of Napoleon to ar
range matters in regard to the Italo-
Roman question in such manner that Italy
will be compelled to join the Western alliance
Il Russia remains doggelly and stupidity per-
severant another Crimean, war is certain, and
the humiliation of RUSSIA for at least another
time is inevitable. Russia is totally unfit for
another struggle with the Western Powers.
Meanwhile she is full of self-conhjence, and
we cannot help saying that another Russian
war is not improbable.

taken from New York. For instance, should
the President appoint Collector smythe, man
well fitted for the position, who could doubt Of
his confirmation! II we rightly remember he
was confirmed for the post Of Collector, post
of great importance and value, by unan-
imous vote Of the Senate. II is said, too, that
q majority Of the Senators are favorable to
him. We can understand very we'll that this
may be SO, for he could not be obnoxious per-
sonally or in party sense. But it matters
little who the man might be If he should make
an efficient Secretary. That is what the coun-
try wants. AT all events, Mr.. McCulloch
should be displaced and the financial affairs of
the republic be placed on good footing.
Mr. McCulloch is a positive weakness to Mr.
Johnson's administration at time when it
should be strengthened in every possible
way.

Galignaai quotes from an italian
journal an account of recent ope-
ration to save life by the TRANSMISSION
Of blood. It was performed in Pa
lermo, at the Hospital della Concezi-
one, by DIR. Albanese. A young
man had q leg amputated for bad
humor, while in very low state; but
the operation reduced him to worse
state than ever, and it became appa-
rent that he was fast sinking, the
pulse being imperceptible and the
body cold. In this emergency, the
TRANSMISSION of blood was proposed.
Two assistants of the hospital offered
to have their veins opened for the
purpose, and thus, at two different
intervals. 220 GINS. of blood were in
troduced into the patients system.
After the first time he recovered the
faculty of speech, and stated that,
before, he could neither see nor hear,
but now felt as if he were flying in
the air. At latest dates he lyes re-
ported in fair way to recovery.
