THE CLOSE OF DAY.

Surely the dsy is donel
IT'S the set of sun.
Long fall the shadows from the snowy hills
Not yet have walked the sleepy little rills:
But softer air
Floats everywhere
Although the day is done,
All, yes the day is done!
And one by one
The ghosts of starlight flit across the sky;
In doors, the fire-elves on the carpet lie,
Tired of play,
The children say,
Because the day Is done.
We know the day Is donoi
Our feet have run
Unrcsting in the path that Duty made;
Trcading on thorus, Of dangers not afraid,
And rest is sweet,
Though nigbt-hours fleet,
And day again comes on.
The day of life Is donei
And the setting suni
Eyes dim to faircst sights that earth can show
Ears needless, though enhancing music dow
And marble brow,
Unwrinklcd now
Indeed the day Is done!
But Ia the day yet done?
And set the sun
When seas Of amber light transfusc the air,
And Paradisal iiowcrs bloom everywhere
Der purple hills
The sunrise thrills,
Heavens day is Just begun

RADICAL MANAGEMENT OF THE
SCHOOL FUND.

Some rather ugly developments
are being made by the Knoxville
Press and Herald touching the
management Of the school money by
loyal" East Tennesseeans. If the
rumors from Claiborne county be
correct, the funds belonging to that
county have not been applied to
the legitimate purpose. 1t has
decidedly ugly look at present.
There is a matter connected with
the loss of the school fund belong
ing to Knox county by the super
intendent of that county, which
seems to need some explanation.
lie appears to have gone to New
York to sell $4,000 of State bonds
belonging to the State school
fund" We know of no bonds be-
longing to the State school fund ex-
cept the twenty three recovered
from the Tennessee National Bank
ofMemphis. Has that portion ofthe
fund also gone? Apecuhar fatality
seems to attend the school fund
under Radical rule. The coin re-
turned with the Bank of Tennessee
was by act of the Legislature set
apart as a portion of the school
fund, the principal Of which was
not TO be used for any purpose
whatever More than half that
fund was swamped through Radi-
cal mismanagement in the Tennes"
see National Bank Of Memphis
The portion that was saved from
the wreck of that bank was mainly
used to pay interest on the State
debt. Now it appears that SlO,OOO
more Of that fund has been lost.
In addition to this heavy taxes for
school purposes have been collected
for three years, yet there IS no
money in the treasury to pay the
teachers. What has become of all the
money thus collected? Gone to meet
the extravagant expenditures Of the
State government. Under Radical
rule the children of the State have
had the advantage of schools for
only few months, and the cry
comes up from every portion OF the
State that the teachers can not get
their pay. There has been gross
mismanagement of the school fund,
and It's detection from its original
purpose is an outrage upon the
little girls and boys, and crime
against Justice. Is there no redress
for this great wrong?

In a few days, says the Cincin-
matt ENQUIRER, the last rail Of the
last mile of the Pacific Railroad will
be laid, and one of the greatest
physical enterprises of fhis or any
other century will be completed. 1t
was only commenced five years
ago. Its progress, therefore, has
been extraordinarily rapid. Ittook
eight years to build the New York
Erie canal, connecting the waters of
the lakes with those of the
Hudson. To construct the
railroad from the Atlantic to the
Mississippi was the work of full
quarter of century No such
gigantic undertaking as the road to
the Pacific has ever before been SO
quickly contaminated. The road
was, indeed, half built before the
mass of the people were aware that
twas commenced. The physical
power at the control of this gener-
alton far exceeds that of any of its

SIR: This is Senate Of equals. Ii is

pions. 1t is a chamber for mutual con.
sultatiOn and debate.
So it was. What it is now may
be seen from the following state
ment of q conversation:

have spoiled the arrangement only that
Anthony understood the programme
and recognized me-" 49, l., -.
Commenting on this -disgraceful
proceeding, the National InteUi-
geRcer justly says
Such debasement Of the Senate and
the position Of Senator Of the United
States is in itself enough to invoke the
shades Of our buried statesmen to rise
from their graves to rebuke this degrade
ton Of the dignity which they once made
world renowned. But even this, humili-
ating as it is to every American citizen,
is said to be not all the infamy. 1t is
stated, upon excellent Republican au-
thority, that the attempts since made, in
Washington and elsewhere, to involve
one Of the Senators, Mr.. Sprague by
some means, in a deadly alteration, is
part and parcel Of the same deliberately
planned conspiracy to rid themselves Of
an earnest and jealous advocate OF
popular rights, whose appeals to his
countrymen threaten to break the
chains with which the Radical party has
so long fettered the masses of the people
