peace and order is being fast restored
throughout the land, and with the ad-
mission of Georgia, Mississippi and
Texas as members of good standing,
the Union of States will have been fully
restored, and the principles firmly estab-
lished that this is Nation, and no mere
partnership of States. Let us rejoice that
the day of jubilee is so near at hand.
1t is runored that new paper. Re
publican in politics, will socn be started
here. Since the Whig was sold out to
the Conservatives, the Republicans have
had no paper. This want is sorely felt
by every wellwisher of the party, and if
started. will no doubt be we'll sustained.
Manufacturing establishments are few
and far between, in East Tennessee, and
in fact al over the South. To be sure,
we have a Rolling Mill and few Found
ries; but what is that for country in
which iron and coal are so abundant.
Though these manufacturing interests are
but teebly represented, is nevertheless a
beginning in that line of business, and it
will soon expand to something like what
it shouldb e.My object, however, was
to mention the fact that there was not
one pail factory in all of East Tennessee.
though plenty of timber is near, all the
water that is wanted, and both convenient
to Rail Roads. 1t is business in which
some enterprising men can make their
fortune. And SO | might go on and
mention other manufacturing interests
that are not represented and which would
have large sections of country to supply,
and obviate the necessity of importing
from the East Freights on the south
ern railroads are very high and the cost
of importing many of the articles would
cover more than the cost of maufactur.
ing.
The Rail Road which is to connect this
city with Charleston, South Carolina, is
now under contract and is to be compile
ted by August 1871 The grade on this
road is very heavy. A number of tun-
nels have to be cut through the noun
tains, one of which [ am informed is re-
ouired to be over one mile in length.
TIE Kentucky,road, which will connect us
with Cincinnati and Louisville. is nearly
completed Only about fifty miles remain
to be built. The completion of these two
roads will be of immense benefit to Knox
vile and make it quite Rail Road
centre.
The TRIBUNE and PILOT seldom fail to
reach US on Wednesday. Both are read
with much interest. especially everything
of local nature. 1t pleases Us to notice
that an interest in Rail Road matters is
being developed and hope that it will re-
suit in the early completion of one of the
roads now talked of. Manitowoc, if it
ever expects to be more than little vii
lage, must have Rail Roads centering
| there; and the sooner the work is COM
menced, the better it will be for the place.
We know that the men who have the
welfare of the town at heart, have suffi-
cient enterprise to carry the project
through, and the little obstacles which
have been in the way, might have long
since been overcome if the effort had
only been made. j.

During a debate on the Tariff question
IN the House on the Ilth inst, Mr..
Schmidt said s'tbe-people in his section
found the times so hard, that they de-
manded some relief from taxes and par
ticular from the tariff and he thought
reference useless
Now ism this PASSING cool? The same,
who literally SWALLOWS nearly two
thousand dollars every year and has al
ready swallowed nearly ten thousand dol
lars of the peoples hard earnings since
he has commenced his democratic sheet
here, all of which expense might just as
well have been saved and the work done
without q single dollar Of additional cost,
has the impudence to stand up in the
Halls of Legislature and say that the
people Of his section demand some relief
from taxes, and then tries to saddle the
hard times on the thrift caused by just
such traitorous actions as he himself has
been and still is guilty of by word and
deed. Our people do find the times hard
and demand some relief from taxes, but
they demand it from our democratic
Board of County Supervisors. they de-
nand that such swindling as has thus far
supported the Nord Westen, be put an
end to and that no expenses be incurred
and no taxes be raised except for legiti-
mate purposes actually necessary. Our
tariff is needed because we must pay our
NATIONAL debt. but we have yet to find
OFT the need of being taxed to death for
th support of such institutions as the
EoTd Hesten, which has been thus far
and still is nuisance and a curse to our
community

EDUCATION AND IGNORANCE

The time has now come when it is
necessary that our State, and indeed
every State, should pass law compell-
| ing people to send their children to
school. II it has been found necessary
and highly beneficial in Prussia, under
a monarchial government, is it not more
necessary and would it not BE more bene'
fetal in this country? "Thi. is free
country" Il can send my children to
school if like if not, | can keep them
at home so SAY many parents; but
nevertheless, when we take into consid-
Grafton the danger of ignorance and the
great benefit of education no one will
be so base as to say, the State has not
the right to pass such law
Sixty thousand children In our State
do not attend school In future years,
when these children become men and
women, filling our jails and prisons, fos-
tering vice and crime. spreading that
great misfortune to an individual, State
or nation, ignorance, the State must
bear the responsibility and pay the pen
atty. Why is it that the city of New
York is the worst governed city of the
| United States ! 1t is because the lower
classes, there the ruling classes, are igno-
! rant.
What was the chief cause of our late
civil war? Ignorance.
Ignorance causes more trouble, tends
more to foster vice and crime than any
thing else.
| There is a certain class of people in
the United States who desire the over
throw of our school system. Americans
beware they may yet undermine this
| the foundation of our temple of Liberty,
and the whole viii fall with a great crash.
But if We are watchful, they will be Ike
waves da~hing themselves upon rocky
coast only to be dashed back from hence
they came.
Education is the bulwark of this coun-
try. IF the masses of our people are
| ignorant, sooner or later as nation We
| perish, but if they are intelligent we will
| rise to the summit of national power and
nlightenment, We have several melan
| choly examples in modern times of pop
ular governments which have started cut
IN the morning of life, with high hopes,
great and noble ambition but because
the masses Of the people were not intel
ligent enough to comprehend those ,ad-
vanced principles, ave miserabfy per-
ished or are now passing away more
miserable existence. Look at France,
at Spain, at Mexico, at the South
American Republics. And now with all
| these examples before US, of the danger,
nay, the crime of ignorance, shall the
State hesitate from its duty of compeh
ing the education Of the people?

A MODEL SCALAWAG.

Holden is still growing over the result
of the election in North Carolina. The
Charleston Is. c. Republican radical
charges him with alternating the better
class of Republicans, and thus allowing
the North Carolina election TO go by de-
fault" This hit Holden in very tender
place. 1t hurts him worse than Greeley's
charging him with forgery in altering
Judge Tourgee's letter, and he comes out
in the Raleigh Standard to explain how
the thing was done. Hear the scalawag
'There were thousands of Republicans
who did not go to the polls in this State,
but it was because they were overawed
by armed hands of disguised assassins.
The main cause Of the political disaster
in this State was the killing, whipping
and naming of Republicans by Ku-Klux
in nearly twenty different counties of
North Carolina; and only the strong hand
of power will ever repress that organiza-
ton"
Now, was there ever any thing more alb
surd than this Ever more ridiculous ex-
cuse for defeat offered2 Is not the falsity
of the story appavent9 He not only had
his own troops, but Grant sent others to
him to aid in carrying the election, but
they failed to intimidate the voters in that
State, and Holden suffered an in glorious
defeat There were mo disturbances at
the polls in any of the counties, and yet
Holden has the impudence to assert that
the Radicals were overawed. Is not Hol-

THE Radicals professed to be the true
friends of the Germans in their war with
France, as long as they hoped to make
German votes in this country for their
party. But ffding that they could not
turn the tide, they are now turning upon
and abusing the Germans. Listen how
the New York Standard (RadicaD talks
in its issue of Sept. IA:
"a German newspaper in this city de-
clares that Germany is at war with the
whole French nation. This is so com
pletely at variance with the avowal of the
German king, and so completely in har-
mony with German policy that it may be
accepted as true. 1t is the old barbarous
taste for blood, for conquest, for despoil-
ing people to gather strength and power
from ruined cities and desOlated firasides.
But the Germans may yet find that a ter
rible punishment awaits those who wan
tonly make war. N'Blood will have
blood, but the desire for vengeance gen.
orally avenges itself upon those who fos-
ter it. In despoiling France, Germany
unites the whole world against her ag-
gressions, and will yet be Inundated for
the wrong she is intlicting upon people
with whom she has no quarrel"

A PIECE of sharp practice by the inter-
nal revenue officials at Washington is Just
reported 1t appears if American goods
exported are brought back and put on the
market the law requires they shall pay a
foreign import duty, the same as required
by the Internal revenue laws. In the case
in question a cargo of manufactured to-
bacco was shipped TO foreign port, but
not finding a market, was returned to the
owners in New York. The department
decided that currency was not known at
the CustomhOuse in settling import collec-
lions, and that the law imposing a tax of
thirty-twO cents per pound on manu-
featured tobacco must be paid in coin.
The duties having been paid, the Collector
of Internal Revenue notified the owners
that the boxes must be stamped before
put on the market. The Treasury De-
partment magnanimously ordered Collec-
tor Murphy to buy tobacco stamps to the
amount required with the duties collected.
By this operation the Treasury Depart
ment cleverly pays greenbacks for stamps,
and profits by the premium value of the
gold paid for that purpose.

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMNER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that Reno0ation, not PrOstrati0n, is
tie true Medical Philosophy. The intro
duction of PLANTATION BITTERS,
prepared with pure st. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The life sustain
ing principle embodied in this great Vege-
table Restorative is manifested in the weak
and responding by an Immediate and most
encouraging change. If the appetite has
failed, it is quickened; if digestion has
been painful and imperfect, it becomes easy
and thorough; if the liver is torpid, it is
reused and regulated; if the nerves are re-
Taxed, they are strengthened and restrung;
if the brain has been haunted by morbid
fancies, they are put to fight, and hope and
cheerfulness return. In the face of the ex-
traordinary cures of general debility, dysr
pepsia, biliousness, constipation and men,
tai dependency, wrought 6y Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were once
prescribed as the spring and summer med
icines, have utterly lost their prestige. The
sick will not take them, and Plantation
Bitters, in which are combined the ele
ments of stomachic, and invigorant, a
mild laxative, nervine and an anti-bilious
specific, reign in their stead.

RADICAL somERsAuLTs.

1t is amusing to see how complete
somersault many of the leading Radical
papers have turned in regard to the war
between France and Prussia. A few
weeks ago they were shouting most lusti-
ly for the Prussians, and every victory
gained by King William was the occa-
sion for fresh outburst of their entbusi-
asm. This was done simply to curry
favor with the Germans in this country,
who naturally spmpathized with Father
land, and thus secure their votes for
Radical men and measures. An evidence
of this fact is furnished in the position
which the most prominent of the Radical
journals now occupy. Since the repub-
lie has been proclaimed in France, the
Radical demagogues have forborne their
TRADE. We present few extracts, which
Illustrate the course of the Radicals on
the war question:
From the New York Tribune.
If King William was sincere in his pro-
fessions, what excuse is there for pro-
longing the struggle? Napoleon made
unjust war upon him; Napoleon is utterly
discounted and his prisoner. We cannot
see that any one is to blame for this but
Napoleon for undertaking to whip Will
lam, or William for not letting him do it.
They must arrange it between them.
Germany has no right TO make France her
vassal, nor to subject its capital and all its
provinces to the dcvastations inoeparable
from war. In short, she ought either to
propose or to accept reasonable terms of
peace. If she undertakes to replace the !
despot she has crushed on the throne he
has madly subverted, or in any manner
evinces a disposition to prOtract the war
needlessly and with intent to reduce the
French to vsssalage, the sympathies so
bounteously extended TO her by the gener-
Gus and liberty-loving throughout Chris
tendon will be wholly withdrawn, and
the names of Bismarck and William will
be exposed to the just execration of man
kind.
From the Boston Traveller.
In this change of government the
French people will find compensation for
their losses by the war, aud in the pros
pect of increased liberty and mo-e noble
power in the future they may forget the
humiliation through which the exaltation
comes. The free people of America bid
them God-sPeed in the work of recon
