BrownIow and the school Fund

The Legislature of Tennessee finds
itself in strange dilemma. After hav-
ing appointed special committee to ex-
anime into and ascertain where the miss
ing School Fund had disappeared, they
are abruptly brought to stop by the EVIL
depce elected duplicating every prom
iuent leader of the loyal party. By their
uuceasing belaboring the COMMITTEES,
whenever the subject is mentioned, is
proof positive that they find themselves
badly swamped and ruined by the action
of their own body. They would not for
the world have brought out the evidence,
as presented to the House by the
special committee on the School Fund,
if the shadow of thought had passed
through their minds that all their prom
inent leaders we're implicated in the ras-
cality. But finding themselves in the
mire and their entire party blackened BY
foul disgrace, they are adopting uni
versal system of whitewashing by passing
votes of implied censure upon the com
mttee, with a few whereases that
this or that brother of the Loyal
League party is rot guilty of taking
part in stealing the sacred fund;
vet that is not sufficient to remove
the stain spots from of the escntcheon OF
their party. Every step forward leads
them farther ntothe depths of disgrace,
and finding that to be the case they are
beginning to repair their lost reputation;
first, by dismissing the committee, and
then process Of glazing over the unfor-
tunate gentry who are implicated, such
as was done In the case OF Speaker
Richards and others of the same stamp.
We would like to know Of the jacsass
Legislature why it was that we we're
compelled to leave our business and at
once appear at the Capitol. We we're
informed by knowing ones. that our pres
ence was required there by the direction
of the Brownlows for statements made in
our editorial, published in the LEDGER
short time since. If 80, we were then
and are still ready to show conclu-
siyely to an impartial public that
the Brownlows received from Rutter
their share of the sacred School Fund.
Will the upstart, John, dare US to the
proof2 He did make show of having
the editor of this paper brought TO Nash.
Vile by summons from special com
mittee Of the House Of Representatives.
But after our getting there and report
ing his heart failed him, and the COM
mittee was dismissed and we permitted
to return home.
All is we'll that ends well. But why
not have US examined2 Why did not
the committee ask Rutter and Parham
and others, how much money was paid
Brownlow by Rutter, from time to time 7
Well may the old saint at Knoxville, who
is palsied with age, shake with renewed
vigor whenever in his vile old heart the
thought does enter Of the missing fund
and the guilty parties There is yet a
day Of reckoning-if not before the great
tribunal of the people, it will come at the
last day when the secrets Of all hearts
will be made known.

A Special Committee was appointed
by the House of Representatives, at
Nashville, to inquire into the facts as set
forth in the report of the Special Com
mittee of the School Fund, as to whether
the evidence against Congressman Null
Inns be such as to warrant belief in his
guilt. OF course the old Rose of Sharon
will again bloom with all his native
fragrance when the committee makes a
report. 1t is understood, no doubt be

OPENING NEW CLAIM--Orson Fox, Esq, is
putting up hydraulic for the purpose of open
ing new claim on Fivecent gulch, in the hill
nearly opposite the residence of Mr.. Alex. Ben
nett. Considerable fine gold is found in the sur
face, and a tunnel, run about ten years ago, es-
tablished the existence of channel in the hill
having a regular deposit of good-looking washed
gravel. Mr.. Fox is an experienced, energetic
miner, and intends to test his claim thoroughly.
Should he find good pay it will probably be the
means of opening number of claims in that
vicinity, hitherto unnoticed. H. is deserving of
success, and we hope to chronicle the discovery
OF a valuable paving claim.
