The Fair Major of. the Ring.

One Kate Rollin, with good-humored We
hemence, protests that she isnot the come
" mulatto woman who draws one hundred
dollars month from the State militia fund,
and bears, besides, the exalted rank OF Ma
jor by brevet. Perhaps not. The name oi
Governor Scott's pet may be Lucy, or Kate,
or Sarah Jane, for oil that we know or care.
But we repeat that there is light mulat.
tress, or quadroon, in the bureau at Colum'
bia, who was appointed to do nothing, and
has done nothing, with exemplary fidelity,
at an expense to the State of seventy-fve
aud one hundred dollarsa month. This girl
goes by the name OF Rollin, or Rawlius, and
was appointed to her place by his Exce!fcn'
cy Governor Scott, commander-in-chief Of
the army and navy in South Carolina, upon
whose order her salary is regularly paid.
A letter was addressed to her., as ..'Major'
Rollin, or Rawlin, by Assistant Adjutant,
General Elliott, requiring her to report fol
duty in his Office. But, 30 for as We know,
she has not done single stroke Of the work
for which she was nominaliy appointed. Hel
monthly allowance is paid by the State
Treasurer upon the order of the Governor
and, if necessary, copies OF the receipts, Oh
receipted pay rolls, can be printed in these
columns. Verify, it is good thing to be the
close friend Of Governor R. X. Scott.

we answer yes. 1t is a test OF honesty,
and that is the best present test Of
Democracy. The XIV amendment
wrongs individuals, and the XIV the
States. Both are crimes against which
Democracy proclaims perpetual

In another column viii be found
the appeal of the Mechanics Insti-
tute to the manufacturers, artisans,
and apprentices of the city to come
forward with the products Of their
skill in competition for premiums at
the next Agricultural Fair. We hope
the appeal will not be in vaiD, and
that meanwhile articles will be manu-
featured and prepared for exhibition.
Let not the field be left any longer to
Northern manufacturers, when we
can make as good articles at as low OF
lower rates at home. The progress OF
the city depends in a great degreeon
our own mechanical enterprise. And
it need not be doubted that the
advantage to individuals, and the
profits to be derived from it by arti-
sans viii keep pace with that growth.
To take premiums at the Fair viii be
worth more than the cost of any arti-
Gle produced, and be the foundation
OF success and fortune in the future to
every man engaged in this generous
and laudable competition. The Me-
chanics' Institute was organized last
April, and it is equally the interest
and the duty Of all citizens to sustain
it. The objects set forth by it II to
encourage the manufacturing interest,
foster the mechanical and useful arts,
advance the physical and material
sciences, sustain and elevate the me-
chanic, manufacturer and artisan, and
establish schools for the education Of
apprentices. We wish the generous
founders a great success in their high
Iy laudable undertaking.
Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1870-08-07

We publish this morning a letter
from General W. b. Bate, in which
he discusses with signal ability and
with that faultless taste which distin-
guishes his literary productions, ques-
tons involved in approaching cleo
lions in Tennessee. 1t is needless to
say that we regret the existence OF
facts which, in our opinion, render
the nomination Of General Bate by
the approaching Democratic State
Convention impossible. OF the ex-
allied estimate entertained Of his per-
sonal and intellectual worth we have
often had occasion to speak. In fact,
his broad intelligence, his liberal
views, clear, strong intellect, cultiva-
ted taste in letters, his scholarship
and elOquence have assigned him a
lofty position among the distinguished
citizens Of the South. When we spoke
Of disabilities that rendered his aces
sion to Office just now impossible, 1t
was with unfeigned regret, and
whether the argument made by Gen.
erA Bate affecting the binding force
Of ser post Jacto constitutional amend
ments' be tenable or not we r not
in a position to incur any risk.
The courts, the Congress, the President,
the army may entertain views on this
subject wholly different from those so
ably presented by General Bate, and
it is hardly wise to incur the great
danger Of sacrificing the interests offs
great Commonwealth in order 10 do
deserved honor to distinguished citi-
zen soldier. Gen. Bate requires no
such action at our hands. He has
never pronounced himselfa candidate,
and yet, until the operative force
Of the XIVth and XVIII amendments
were discussed, and the Northern con-
struction Of these Gddendd to consti-
t Itional law understood, there was not
within the confines Of Tennessee gen.
tleman whose name was more gener-
ally mentioned rs that OF the
next Chief Magistrate Of Tennessee.
By common consent the people had
agreed to tender this tribute to distin-
guished personal, intellectual and SOL
dierly worth, and the consummation
contemplated was only prevented by
the necessary recognition OF facts
which we have thoroughly considered
and fully discussed. Read the admir-
able letter of Gen. Bate.
