The School Fund Robbery,

We commend our friend and fellow
sinner of the Nashville Press and Times
to dry up on the subject Of the "School
Fund Infamy," or we'll tell how near
he come to getting his bill into the dish.
Admitting for the moment that two
thirds of the sacred fund" was lost or
made, way with during the stormy pc
Rod of the revolution, can that be urg-
edin justification of the radicals plum
dering and squandering the remaining
third as soon as they got their "pickers
and .stealers" on it? What sort of a
plea is that for an honest and virtuous
radical to set up? 't ','~r ", rA 'r q

The Inauguration Ball.

A Washington dispatch Of, the I'd
insta'''' says 30 pnuu lsnl.Ia' rlt ,,.,
There is likely to be trouble at the in
auguration ball, after all, Rs to the adj
mission of colored people. 1t was as
ccrtained this morning that a prominent
Democrat, ex-mcmber of Congress. had
purchased ten tickets, which have been
furnished to negroes in order that they
might attend, create disturbance, and
thus make capital against the Radicals.
This has caused considerable excite.
ment i'll Radical circles, and it will pro-
badly lead to such measures as will pre-
vent the negroes from obtaining admis!
sion to the ball, which promises to be n
very brilliant affair. Tickets admitting
three thousand have already been dis

Now, what is the policy, under such
circumstances, Of the conservatives and
all, Others who desire to see the South
relieved Of all disabilities and restored

The Washington News q,

Nearly all the dates from Washington
for some days past have been filled with
reports of what Gen. Grant ,said tor
day" what he "didn't say Yesterday
and what he proposes TO '.say tbiniori
row." If he is guilty of a. title Of the
monosyllablcs attributed to- him I've Is a
man of infinitely more luck than brain.
He was iraugurated yesterday, and rs
now fairly seated III the ESeyGtixS
Chair, and the country will soon know
whether it has q real, live President, Of,
the old Jacksonian stamp, or a mere atii'
tomaton, capable only of obcying and
signing the edicts of the leaders, of the
party that nominated him. The -pub.I
lie mind has been educated to- expect
much from the new Presidents i9puted;
good sense, sound Judgment and, pat
riotic impulses. We hope it will not be
disappointed. Washington is reported
thronged with visitors, a large majority
of whom are presumed to be, office
seekers and advcnturcrs in search of
spoils. The chances are that afew Of
them will have to leave without the
coveted honors and enolLments.

Governor Scsnnter.


Governor Senter was inaugurated, on
the 25th ultimo, and is now at his home
in East Tennessee. .IIis address OH the
occasion was brief, but replete With the
usual gcneralities. Previous To and
since his Inauguration, Mr.. Senter' has,
been the objective point of a, good deal
of patriotic suggestion-noi little ofiit
emanating from political opponen ts.--to
which he no doubt attaches due weight
and consideration. Whatever his own
views on the subject may, be, there is
certainly q very general desire among
the people of the State that he should
promptly disband the militia ;torI the,
presence of which in the field at this
time there is not even the shadow of an,
excuse. A communication from Mr..
Rust. the Treasurer, to the Legislature,
states that there is not a dollar of pub
lie funds on hand, and the apprehension
is daily becoming more general thai, the,
State will not be able TO meet itsjJuly
interest without again going into the
market to borrow at usurious and ruins
Gus rates. With such an unsatisfactory
financial condition staring us in the face,
to keep up a heavy military orSaniza-,
ton, at all enormous expense, when
there is no perceptible necessity for 1t,
would argue a great want Of political
forccastc and reckless disregard Of
the public welfare which the .hew Gov
crnor might reasonably be presumed
anxious to avoid. 49, .rJ'l al ljp!u. 70 =.
1t is rumored, too, that a heavy pres
sure is to be made upon the Governor
to induce him to call an extra'session of
the Legislature, in order that thenegro
suffrage amendment may be ratified. If
so, we hope he will resist it, as that alb
sorbing party matter can with great
propricty be left,to the next Iegisla-
ture. Mr.. Sentcr has entered upon the
discharge of the duties pertaining to
the gubernatorial office at a time W hen
responsibilities. of more than ordinary
gravity are attaching to it, and not only
his immediate friends, but we think Ills
political opponents generally, will Ibe
pleased to seehim meet them in aunan-
her which will prove creditable to him
self, while .rcdounding to the interests
of tho State at large.

GENERAL W. FISHERMAN.
The following sr2 Rph, though not
complimentary, Al lfathfpl to the letter.
We find it in the New Orlcshs Bulletin /:
I We understand 4, thatthis distinguish
ed Federal soldier arrived in our city
last night. lie is travelling for the
benefit Of his health, and IL expected to
remain here for some time. We are no
admirer of, General Sherman. We con-
Icedeto him all the talents of n success
full soldier, and consider him the only
military genius developed on the Fed
cral side during the late. war. But, at
same time that his military attachments
md litsiary abilities commaud our re-
spcct, there is indellible, stain INN his
care en- hat will ever-cause his psbre to
be remembered by Southern, men as
one connected. with the most diabolical
nets of cruelty and oppression that q
people ever endured.
Ills ".march to the sea" win 20 down
to history as ono celebrated for its gram
deur Of conception, boldness Of execu-
ton, but barbarous in design and terri
bic III its effects. Tn vandalism and wan
tbnhtss without a parallel in the an
nails, of history. The tears ana suppl
cations Of lone and dcfcnscless women
appealed to General sherman in vain.
The suffering and waiting of young
children fleeing from the flames that
cnteloped the dwelling Of their absent
soldier fathers, found no sympathy in
the stony heart of this officer. BY his
orders the iaircst portion OF our coun-
try WIS given over to the soldiers FOR
fife ahd destruction, rapine and plumber.
On all sides his march gave evidence Of
its 'biightihgI and inhuman character,
and every being living along its lihe has
deeply Inscribed upon his memory the
,mhle Of General w. r. sherman. He
will live in the memory OF all Southern,
people, but illnever share their honor,
tkeir' estteni and their gratitude as do
his brother officers, the brave, the gcnH
eYous and magnanimous Hancock and,
ltousseau.' Soldiers in the same army,
biftling for The same cause, opposed by
the same ptople-yet how different the
warfare, Flow different the spirit. We
who have felt the ferocious cruelty of
tie one and the kindness of the other,
know how to appreciate and pay hon-
age to true moral greatness. With But
lGr ard Sheridan our people will class
General Sherman. But, with true Chris
thin spirit, we say, let the "dead past
