WHY DON'T They TALK ABOUT

.
Men generally talk about what inter.
ests them. or what they suppose wiH in
terest them. We like to hear men talk
business, but after all talk is only a sign
of business. but that sign is almost indis-
pensable..i IL na DlH Hsai7"

Now we have no School system aGnr
candidates all know that very well.yqW We
will have none till the State takes hold of
the matter. Every sensible man knows
such to be the ease. What are our candi-
dates doing with this question? Most of
them say We must have a school system,
education must be encouraged others have
nothing to say, for they are not looking
ahead to see what the State of Tennessee
will be in ten years, they care not how
much the material prosperity of our own
State may out-run her educational faeili-
ties What do our candidates propose?
Some have not the ability to stand up for
common schools, others have not the incli-
nation-it has no attractions for them.
One candidate for county representa-
tive fully espouses the school question.
Our teachers, il, they are true to the peo-
pie and true to themselves, will know how
this matter stands and support none but a
firm friend of free common schools as the
Palladium of liberty and hope of our coun-
try. They are paramount to every thing
else. The young man, especially, who
has not caught enough of the spirit of the
age to give him progressive ideas on this
ject has no right to claim the suffrage of a
people whose children are without book or
school.
Every teacher in Washington county
should raise his or her ~voicein behalf of
our school interest. Mere political ques-
ions hav C nothing to do with a school sys-
tenn Men whose aim is OFFICE will
never give us what we want. They care
nothing about whether the rum shops cast
their doleful shadow along our streets, or
whether the school house-the intellectu-
al light house of the nation-goes to the
moles and the bats.
We have good men who will work and
talk for schools. Such men we want in
office. They will do us good and we
ought to encourage them. The man who
sees nothing but party, is blind to all
that pertains to the future welfare of the
State, or the prosperity and happiness of
the millions WIN are to dwell in the noun
tain homes in East Tennessee.

S.uaterial Conycntien.

In publishing the proceedings Of the
Senatorial Convention which met at Eliza
bethton on the 14thF instant. we omitted
TO state that Col. n. b. Owens received
on the first ballot a very respectable vote,
but after the second ballot, learning that
there was considerable contention between
the friends of the respective candidates,
he Voluntarily came forward and with
drew his name from the Convention as a
candidate, and in a very appropriate speech
urged upon the Convention the necessity
of harmony in the selection of our candi-
dates for the respective Offices to be filed
at the November election, presenting the
claims OF the Republican party upon the
people and the great necessity of the sue
cess Of that party both in a State and Ma
tional point of view.
1t is due to Col. Owens that we make
this correction as he has always been a Re-
publican, and is willing to sacrifice his
claims on the party, i'll order to secure
harmon md success.

Men whe Live Forever.

Mr. Beecher in a recent sermon said
Men who establish a academies, colleges,
and universities live forever, and live, too,
"a way that an angel might be proud co
live. They who established Harvard
even with heavenly arithmetic, can com
pute what their money has done since
they have gone home? Is the name of Yale
not familiar to every intelligent lnan on
the continent because he endowed that
college! His name will be carried down
thousands of years. CernclPs name is
rescued already. Vassar's, Drew's, and
Astor's names would not have sounded
far down, had they not a due inspiration
that taught them to found seminaries for
the discovery and propagation of know
ledge among the masses of men. These
endowments have in them Immortality On
earth. And this is the reason, [ say, that
men ought not to be poor if they can be
rich. There is power in wealth, when
1T is guarded by benevolence, which should
not be despised. Having such a sword as
that with which to Stay ignorance, no man
ought to refuse to draw 1T from its sheath.
Whoever can organize wealth and endow
institutions of learning, is using wealth to
a good purpose. We may rise to a higher
grade and to more familiar ground, since
it is more frequently inculcated in the the
pulpit. As virtue and spirituality are
higher than physical qualities, as the
wealth of society lies more in the goodness
of Christian familiesand Christian insti-
buttons than in ease or abundance, or pleas
ure; so he most worthily p~rolongs his life
to an after day who so lives as to give force
and perpetuity to spiritual influences"
