THE LEGISLATURE.

Nashville, January 25.-There was moth
ing OF Importance transacted in the Senate
In the House, the proceedings were also
unlmportant, the busin IS being mostly con-
hned to the passage Of private bills.
Mr. Bowes introduced bill to define and
protect the rights Of "loyal' citizens. Won.
der what does it mean.
The resolution TO investigate the affairs
and condition Of the State Bank of Tennes-
see was referred to joint special committee.
House bill creating Il Board of Commits
sioners for Madison county was so amended
as to embrace the counties.of Fayettc, Mont.
gomery, White and Putnam, after which it
passed its third reading.
II would seem from the above Legislative
proceedings, that the County Courts are to
be superseded, aud their constitutional and
legal rights are to be usurped by carpet sack
oummers appointed by the saintod Brown
low. Montgomery is indebted for her share
OF this unauthorized curse TO the petty ma

From the Nashville Union and Dispatch.
THE SACRED SCHOOL FUND-THE
TRUTH LEAKING OUT.

An esteemed and attentive correspondent
at Springfield enclosed US circular sent to
him from Memphis, together with memo
rial to the Legislature, upon the subject of
the school fund. The circular embraced the
proceedings Of the Board of Visitors of the
Memphis city schools, and the report of n
committee sent to Nashville to procure por-
ton of the money due the public schools I'M.
der the laws of The State. The circular is
dated the 10th inst. We extract from the
report of the committee which is signed by
Messrs. W. S. Bruce, H. D. Cornell, James
A. Swain, and ]. II. Barnum--the following,
stating their failure to get the money, and
the reasons therefor. 1t discloses some facts
which will be new and startling to the pub
lie:
"Thc Comptroller received your committee
with great kindness and courtesy, and pro-
ceeded at once to give them all the informa-
ton and satisfaction 10 his power, and from
him and his published report to the Legisla-
ture, we obtained the following points of in
formation:
LIST. That the school fund is greatly reduc-
ed, and its total amount rendered very I'M
certain by most expensive, crcuitous and
incomprebensive system of collecting Gelin-
quent taxes, which is now practiced under
existing laws. BY the operation of this sys-
TEN, or System of systems, as the Comp
troller has been plea sed to call il in his an
nual report to the Legislature, it seems that
some counties, paying quite n respectable
school tax, are brought in debt TO the State,
and instead of increasing the general school
fund, they diminish it. This may seem i'm
probable, but We are assured that it is really
true.
Cd. That the appropriation of. $500, 600
made by an act of 1860, has been SO con-
strned that all other claims against the State
should be paid lirst. So of course, this not
only 'remains undnwn" as the Comptroller
states in his report, but will, in all probable
ity, ever remain SO.
Sd. That the original State school fund,
which was brought back from the South, and
paid over TO the State Treasurer, amounting
TO the sum OF some 5000, 600, has been used
for other than school purposes by the State
officials.
4th. That the Comptroller, in direct viola
ton of section AZ of the school law, intends
to use whatever of the school fund there may
be remaining after all the drains, losses and
deductions, L. pay current expenses and in
terest on the State debt. The Comptroller
told your committee, distinctly, that all the
benefit the general system of common schools
of this State would ever receive from the as
sessmcnt of 1867, former assessments, appro-
prations and accumulated funds, would be
the pitiful sum of $1,000, paid as the salary
of the State SUPERINTENDENT

Cruelty In the Tennessee PenItcn'
tInry

Nashville Dispatch says; Facts have re-
Gently come to light hich prove that in the
most hated forms of slavery there never was
one-half as much cruelty practced us is now
seen in our State penitentiary, There has
been 529 whippings administered To the con.
yicts in the last six months, with an average
of FIVE TO sevcnty-liye lashes at each whip
ing. An unpleasant feeling now exists be-
tween the Warden and the lessees in regard
to the whipping OF a convict. The lessees
advocate whipping, while Mr.. McElwee, the,
Warden, contends that the law does not au-
thorile whipping as punishment The
facts in this individual case were as follows
One of the conyicts was accused Of having
mislaid a PATTERN he denied having
seen it; he was ordered to be whipped
but the Warden refused 10 administer the
whipping, The convict afterwards found
the pattern, and the lessees believing he had
not only mslaid the pattern, bu, he had told
a lie about il, ordered him whipped, but still
the Warden refused 10 carry cut the order,
on the ground that the laws governing the
pcnitentiary d. mot authorize this mode of
punishment

The Fort Smith paper says that the culture
of cotton in Arkansas, this year, has not
only proven Improbable, but positively dis
astrous, Labor, rents and provisions have
been high, and the present low prices yield
ed but meager return, to which must be
added the large expenses of freights, COM
missions, insurance, tax, wear and tear Of
implements, stock, &c. \ well-known PLAN
ter, near Fort Smith who has been cultivat-
ing near 800 acres of land lost $4,000 in
in cash last season; another planter of life
long experience, aud prudent careful bust
ness man, says his losses in farming 500 acres
of land will exceed $4,000. Pursue the
inquiry as far as you will, and the result is
always the same, the measure of ill-fortune
only being determined by the extent to
which operations have been carried.

The Clinton (La.l Patriot publishes an in
'teresting correspondence between Mr.. Davis
and number of citizens of the parish oil

Mr.. Davis TO spend some little time among
them. To this the ex-President replied:
WEST FELIcIaA, La. January, 1868. s
GENTLEMEN: | am deeply grateful for
your very kind letter of this date, and assure
you that It would give me great pleasure to
accept your invitation. Ny engagements
require me to leave for Mississippi so soon
that it will not be in my power to visit you,
and again look upon place associated with
many happy memories. Your sufferings and
losses have been to me ever present, through
all the trials to which you so feelingly re-
fer. The desolation which everywhere pre-
seuts itself in that once prosperous country,
fills every heart with sorrow; but hope
and trust better time W IN soon come to us.
The patient fortitnde, the cheerful energy
and the manly virtue which our people dis
play in the depth of their misfortune, cannot
fail to bring the due reward. ffg 90
Accept for yourselves and those whom you
represent the expression Of my life long de-
votion, and my earnest prayer, which has so
long been daily offerered, that the Father
will restore our stricken land in the way
which to His wisdom seems best.
am, most cordially, your friend,

New YoRK NATIONAL BANKs.--An official
Investigation is TO be had of the affairs of the
New York City National Banks. Charges
have been made of violation of section 20
of the National Currency Act, in loaning
upon fancy stocks and uncertain securities
amounts largely in excess of this limit allowed
by law TO any one firm or person. How
much foundation there may be for these re-
ports is not known, but the Controller of the
Currency has promptly taken the matter in
hand, and directed the Bank Examiners to
inq uire into these alleged violations with a
view to enforce the law if the facts revealed
re suire such action. The defalcation of Le-
werlich has excited some alarm among capt.
talists, and has probably led to the investiga-
-Ne,rdrk Advertiser.

Sion Of the tax for one year and all
foreign cotton to be admitted free OF
duty, The total ruin of the South is
the programme of the Radicals, who
will by this act give a preference to
the slave produced cotton of Egypt
over that produced by the free ne.
groes Of the South, Free trade in
foreign cotton and heavy tax on
that produced at home is in keeping
with Radica mcauness and unpatri-
',,ic ignorance.
