loving extract OF a letter which has be-

Of L Nashville papers. We publish it
for the sake Of the last paragraph, which
we think contains a very sensible sug-
gestioD, which is, in effect, that County
Committees report to their county news
papers for wide spread circulation in other
Democratic prints, the details Of all out
RACES, within their respective precincts,
by Radicals and theirt0Oi5. Ths Rsuub-

Be II remembered, that Governor
BRowNLow, in his paper, the Knoxville
Wig, over his signature ''Senior Ed
tor" stated that he would not call out
the negro militia for fear, as he believed
would be the case, a war Of races would
follow.
Bet remembered, that the Memorial
COMMITTEES" representing the Legisla-
ture before President JOHNSON, asserted
with emphasis that they were fearful,
indeed were convinced, that an inferno
cine wsr would result from the calling
out Of the white militia.
Be it remembered, that In the face of
these admissions by the Governor and
three of the most Radical members of
the most Radical Legislature in the
Union, BRowELow has called out the
''so-ealled" loyal militia, to hold them in
readiness as 8 mesns OF intimidating the
white people and defeating the other.

GRENADA AND HE3EDIAS RAILROAD
A new project has just been started in
Mississippi,-the construction Of g Rail-
road from Grenada to Meridian. It will
be a little over one hundred miles IN
length, and is the only unfinished link
between Memphis and Mobile. An air
line 6ettCeea these tao cities uiU pass ali.
rectly through Grenada and Meridian.
Our Mississippi and Tennessee Road re-
CARDS this Is bat an extension OF its
line, and hence Col. WHITE, the Presi-
dent, and the citizens Of Grenada and
Meridian are earnestly cooperating ia
the steps necessary to begin and com
plete it. Al their solicitation, Col. J. T.
IRRELEVANT, OF this city, viii address
the people at Grenada on Saturday night.
when the first meeting will be held, and
a plan agreed upon for an immediate and
thorough nvsE of the line by him.
We need say nothing about his famili.
arty with this subject; bat we will urge
upon our friends down there TO hold
meetings all through the country. so that
the people may be aroused as TO the im-
portanee Of this enterprise. A few men

fit should aid In its construction. Pop

ian are especially interested for the
trade OF that intervening country will
build up each. In five years after its
completion, these towns would have not
than ten thousand inhabitants.
All interested must put their shoulders
the wheel. The llRe has to be can
and surveys made. This will
take money, for men cannot now work
for reputation only. Let our friends be
In earnest. Little streams make great
and many hundreds soon oount
up thousands. We wish our friends NJ
Grenada and Meridian all success. brt
assure them that nothing but nonfy
builds railroads. They must go into the
enterprise with that conviction, or they
will be disappointed. Every man witbia
fifteen miles of that line can well sff,rd
give one-half his land 10 insure the
construction of the road, for the other
half will then be worth twice as much
Is the whole now is. We will not allow
ourselves to doubt that zach will do what

We feel sure that this road will be built.

THE PERmAEENr sCnooL FUxD.


A few days since the State Superlnten-
dent OF Public Education, in a letter to a
Mr.. BENJAMIN RUSH, which we pub
lished in the APPEAL OF Saturday, made
the following statement, which we re-
publish with a view to lite more extended
publicity as 8 falsehood, deliberately
stated by one who knew at the time be
was penning it that he was not telling
the ruth. He savs:
II you Intended your inquiries should include
he Permanent FU1ld, / nag say thGt IL 1Cas ia ne
Bank Of Tennessee, and shared lis Jats IN Ae rebel
lion Misunderstanding his, as The State Govern
nsent Is conSc1usoH0iy bound Tor the tchole, The
present State Government has already restored a
portion Of Il, and Is preparilg 20 make good abe en-
tire amount This can be eesity done 6y ne sale
Of Railroads, in me construction Of achich he State
has aided, and that are HoD unable % pay The
Interest on The bonds issued and endorsed for them
By The State.
The Permanent School Fund, amount
ing to over $4,000 In g~reenbacks, was
turned over by direction of Ex-Governor
IsHAMG. HARRIS, and we believe, under
the superintendenee OF a guard detailed
by Gen. FORREST, to Commissioners ap.
pointed by Governor BRowNLow, who
went to Augusta, Georgia, to receive and
receipt fer it. Part OF this fund-over
$500, 00O-was deposited in the Tennessee
National Bank of this city, from which
twas stolen by Radical leaders, who have
ever since the closing of the bank main
tanned a damaging silence about it. The
remainder of the SUM wss spent-S325,-
600, by order Of Governor BRowNLow,
in payment of the scallawsg militia of
last yesr-the balance, the Radicals can
best tell how.
This is the truth as to the Permanent
School Fund.- Gen. EATON. And you
know it. You were editing 2 paper here
at the time, andif you dldn0t publish the
confessions Of your Governor, and the cir
cumstances a~ttendingthe suicide of the
State Comptroller and the closing of the
Tennessee National Bank, you read
them in the daily papers of the day.
And after all this theft Of the sacred
fund, held through all the years OF
= IL ASAst 90 nv "a Vi NAC OOFE-
nsnt of our exiled people, We are told
that the accrued interest on the railroad
bonds Of the State is TO be appliSd to its
repayment. And, in the event this inter-
est is not promptly paid, the railroads
are to be sold to make up the deficiency.
The impudenee Of this mar EATON,
out such mischief for cur COM
mercial highways, as @ means OF repay
ing the money his cO-workers in Radical
infamy have stolen, is the coolest thing
the season.
These Radicals first steal the school
fund and charge it to the Confederacy,
then plot TO sell our railroads to repay
the theft.
II BRowNLow is not to be compro-
missed by If, We hope he will investigate
this school-fand robbery. We cannot
believe that he would deliberately con-
nige st q theft,

TO TIE PEOPLE OF TEg-
NESSEE.
Campaign Address OF the Ten
nessee State Democratic
Executive Committee.

Citizens: After anxious deliberation
and consultation With many able and dis
Greet persons, the Democratic Executive
Committee Of Tennessee have resolved
upon active and vigorous prosecution Of
of the canvass in the pending contest for
the Presidency in behalf of Seymour
and Blair, the nominees Of the Democ-
racy Of the Union. Inzthis contest we
lock shields and march shoulder to
shoulder, and hip to hip, with the party
who struggle for the restoration of the
country to the principles upon which it
was framed in I787-'s9, and administered
by Washington, Jefferson, Madison and
Jackson. Our warfare is with 2 party
that seeks the overthrow ofthese princi-
plies by q subversion Of the Constitution
and q revolution of the Government
erecting, instead of nicely balanced Rep
resentstive Democracy, q mobocrstlc
Capitalization of power in one branch of
government.
The events Of the past three years
show that nearly one hundred prcpoei-
tons have been offered in Congress to.
amend the Constitution that The Legis-
lative Department has trsnscended its
powers by usu.pipg the Judicial, and tax
ing away thoss Of the Executive that
it has declared that 1t is the only repre-
sentative Of the supreme will Of the ma
lion that under this declaration it has
assumed to rsmould and dictate to the
coordinate departments, and concen-
trated all the essential powers Of Gov
eminent in its " hand; that it has
denied to the States those essential rights
to their safety and happiness that were
before questioned that they have
arbitrarily and without cause or warrant
placed ten States Of the Union under
martial las, and ruled them by the
sword, and finally dictated to them
terms upon which they should have a
voice in public affairs.
The progress ia this restoration of the
Government has besn Is bold and rapid
as it has been reckless. It ia against this
change in the organic structure OF this
Government that the Democratic party
OF the Union has protested with 8 una
nimity, an aTdor and drmness never bs-
fore equaled il the history OF contests at
the ballot-box. They have invited US to
join them in the noble and patriotic
struggle, that we may share with them
the glory of q triumph which, they tell
Us, is almost assured, and enjoy with
them the blessings Of liberty and re.
publican government, which will other
wise be lost to u 3 and our posterity for

Old Bedford Unconstitutional with.
ers, Major Garland, and James r.
johnson on the Stump.

- LIBERTY, VA, April ~, 1900.
Yesterday. was Bedford court-day, and o
large number of people (white and colored)
were in attendance. Toward the middle OF
the day- it was announced that Colonel
Robert E. Withers, of Lynchburg, would
address the people on the subject OF the re-
cent scallauag Constitution. Very soon
thew. were assembled, and listened with
close attention to ON able and argumenta-
tive speech in opposition to the Constitution.
Major Garland, Of Lynchburg, was present,
and being. called for, spoke for few mi
nutes, showing the fallacies that existed in
the threadbare work of the Radicals. Our
old and faithful senator, james +. Johnson,
Esq, having left the courthouse and walked
up to the speakers stand, he was discovered
by the people, and as soon as Major Gar.
land ended, the very .aoelkin rang with loud
calls for Johnson. It had been q long time
since the. people of this glorious old Wing
county had heard the voice of their leader,
and they were determined to hear him.
When the voices of the tumult ceased, Mr..
johnson stepped forward on the speakers
stand and made o thrilling and telling speech
in opposition to the Cons titution and on the
duty of every man no,o who feels that his
liberties and rights are at stake. The otd
lion of Whiggery and Conservatism awoke
from the den, and came forth in his power
and might. The people listened to him with
breathless attention.
Bedford will do her duty. The alarm has
boon sounded by her leudcr, and her people
will follow in his wake.
Hastily, SPECTATOR.
