embarked, the difficulties overcome and
the profits realized, are given truthfully

THAT $4,000.


The Ledger promised to assist US in
our search after the " School Fund" s
labor in which We were actuated solely
by U regard for the public interest, and
were only anxious TO find out where lay
official delinquency, either on the part Of
the State authorities or on the part OF
the officers OF the Tennessee National
Bank, which institution, so far as this
fund was concerned, became charged
with official responsibility. Instead Of
rs0seming its pledges IN this regard, the
LEDGER has abandoned the pursuit Of
b school Fund.- and turned its at
tention in another direction. Its reasons
for this course are best known to itself.
We will not occupy our space with even
4 surplise on this point. It is enough to
say that Inquiry after the missing
"SchCOI FGnd " has bseH abandoned by
our neighbor, snd Wi attention called
to g fund OF $4,000. We made
inquiry touching this fund Of q respects
bic Law firm of this city, who have
charge Of Il, and investigated the
records OF this Courts and found that il
had DO connection whatever with he
" School Fund" Our inquiries 81 TO
this money $4,000 were responded TO
by the gentlemen Of that firm oheertully,
IS similar inquiry By the Ledger or sDy
other pspe;, If made with usual courtesy,
would hsvs basn. A full exhibit was
MADE, and E complsts detail given OF the
fra1ssctioa, from which It was apparent
thst the State authorities did the very
bsst they could under the circumstances,
and, SO fully as they could, protected the
State il the transaction. O!course, when
these bills were taken, it wss necessary
they should be collected. They we're con-
seqEently put in The hands Of The firm al
iuced 20, who are now pressing the COL
Iections By suit sDd otherwise.
Now, il resp3nse to this, the only an
sver the Ledger makes is In inusndoes
against this firm, s species Of attack we
dislike, and in this instance We think
u~nrrovoked. THe Ledger ksoUs any,
thing wroag in regard 10 this s52 600, or

Il, tgs hope Aot J01lyHdl wiH come out
~sYuarely, give the public their names and
the JGcts q L believes them. We do not
propose to become a party &c : personal
controversy between the Ledger and the
members Of that firm, nor do we desire
that thsy shall be " struck ct over our
shoulder" Oar conception Of Journalism
forbi5s this. Inssmueh, however, 5 the
matter has progressed thus far, We have
tie right 10 demand that our neighbor
csass it's lnuendo, and II it know Of dere-
llcliou In this matter on the part Of the
law firm having cha-gs Of these assets,
that e DIRks It's charges direct and spe-
c.fc, or abandon the isld. One course
or the other we insist on IL common
fairness and cEndor. Whenever a charge
