TIE saCnEp sCMooL FUND.

The National Union, published at
! GreeneviIle, East Tennessee, in speaking
of the School Fund of Tennessee, which,
under Radical legislation and manipula-
ton, was converted into legislative prey
for the loyal brotherhood, refers to the
manner in which that Fund was preserved
during the war by the officers of the Bank
of Tennessee, who took it South, in the
following terms:
On the approach of the Federal forces
to Nashville in '6l, those having charge of
the Tennessee school fund carried it into
the State of Georgia, for the alleged pur-
pose of preserving it. The amount was
near 5000, 900 in specie. As the war
progressed the cause of the Confederacy
! became more and more desperate Her
currency deprecated TO utter worthless
ness. Her armies needed supplies. Her
soldiers, half starved and half clad, laid
themselves upon the cold earth without
blankets to protect them from the pitiless
storm: and thousands made long and
wearisome marches over frozen ground
with bare feet. Never before was a belliger-
ent power in such need of money to uphold
a cause for which it was struggling
money with which TO purchase arms, am
munition, provision, clothing, and pay off
the soldierv. Under all these disadvan-
tages the Confederates fought for her ex-
istence against an army, the best fed,
clothed and equipped, probably, the world
ever saw; and though $500, 900 In specie,
of the school fund, was within her keep
ing; though appealed to by the strongest
case of necessity ever known to abelliger-
ent, yet the Confederacy preferred 10 die
rather than use one dollar of that money
it was the sacred school fund.- of Ten
nessee. The Rebel "Army of Tennessee"
enduring privations before unknown in
the history of the war with wives, help
less children and aged parents suffering
from wants which that money would have
relieved, scrupulously guarded that fund
the cries even Of the furnishing child could
not reach tit was the "sacred school
fund" Those men who carried it from
Nashville, though the most trying temp
tation fol personal gain presented itself,
appropriated it mott was the Sacred
school fund.
The preservation of that school fund |
within the Confederacy, during a reyolu- |
ton, and under such desperate circum- |
stances, is a case for which history can |
furnish no parallel; and though the histo- |
~ of the ''Great Rebellion" may speak of |
the treason and ''perfdy" of the Rebels, |
vet of them it will be recorded, that they |
suffered cause, they carelessly offered |
their lives in defense of, TO perish, rather |
thaa appropriate any part of fund set |
apart for the education of the poor-an
incident the most remarkable in the an
nails of war, and the most difficult to be
by those who thought Rebels
devoid Of every principle of honor.
The war closed. Peace and quiet were
restored. The school fund that had been
declared to be ''too sacred TO ever be di-
yerted even temporarily, or any contin-
ccncy, to any other purpose than that of
was returned to the capitol and
placed in the hands of a legislature and
executive radically loyal.

THE COLORED ASPIRANTs.

There is a lively struggle going on in
the South Carolina Legislature for the
vacant position of Associate Justice of
the Supreme Court of the State The
candidates are two colored men. One
named Wright the other Whipper. One
q Senator and the other a member of the
House. They are thus described by the
correspondent of the Charleston NeaCs q.
Wright is a colored man, who lisps, and
is always in good humOT. He speaks
more, perhaps, than any three Of the
colored Senators, and, generally, very
clearly. His influence with the colored
legislators is very great. He states that
be was born in Pennsylvania, and after
graduating at the Lancasterian University,
New York, studied law for two years at
Montrose, Susquehsnna county, in Penn
sylvania, and a little over a year at
Wilkesbarre in the same State. He was
admitted to the bar in Susquehanna
county, being the first GOlored man adj
mitted to practice in Pennsylvania. After
the "Union came i'm down South he was
made by Gen. Howard legal adviser of the
freedmen in South Carolina.
William Whipper is also a colored man.
While popular, he does not enjoy SO high
a degree of popularity as his rival yet his
chances for the associate justiceship are
perhaps little better than Wright's-
doubtless because he is q member of the
House, which of course on 'jOint ballot
has an immense majority, and the parti-
san feelings of the members viii make
many of them vote for him, who other
wise would support his opponent. Whip
per served in Michigan regiment during
the war, and came into Charleston with
''the Union.n He has made affidavit be-
fore Magistrate Nash, (colored Senator
from Richland, } that he had studied law
for nine months before the war, and there
upon was permitted to practice in this
State. As regards Whipper's mental at
tainments, Wright is his superior; yet
Whipper possesses a great amount of
which, coupled with an ex-
trao binary degree of persistence, would
make him about equal with Wright in any
contest in their legal profession.

OUR PUBLIC cREprr.

The Radical party have assumed 10 be
the especial defenders of the public faith
and credit They have denounced all
who would not concur in their views OF
finances as regulators. Thetest of time,
however, has demonstrated thai a Radi-
cal Congress with Radical Administra-
ton are bringing the Government nearer
and nearer to the verge of bankruptcy.
They have no Andrew johnson now
upon whom they can throw the burden Of
their sins. Their extravaganza is sinking
them in the estimation of their own friends.
They must do something desperate to
divert the public attention from taxes,
extravaganza and corruption, or they are
hOpelessly ruined. The Virginia crime
is perpetrated. The Fifteenth Amend
ment outrage is nearly completed. We
do not believe they can getup a sensation
on the proposition to reconstruct Tennes-
See. The public mind is quoting on the
war issues, and with equal step Radical
ism approaches its final doom. The New
! York Times admits that our credit is
scarcely in better repute than Brazil or
Turkey, which is demonstrated by the
following table:

RADICAL ExTRAVAGANCE.

A leading Northern paper, speaking Of
Mr.. Dawes speech, says:
''From such man in such place truth
is precious indeed. The Democrats may
howl till they split the mighty dome of the
Capitol against the extravaganza of the
Federal Government, but they will have
no more effect on Radical representatives
and the Radical party than on the cold
marble statues that decorate the pile. But
when the Radical Mr.. Dawes, of Massa-
chusetts, stands up with the documents to
prove every word that he says, and inficts
the faithful wounds of a friend upon the
extravaganza Of the administration, Radi-
cal ears are pricked up to hear him, and
he is not to be cried down and his dam
aging statements disposed Of with Pod
snap wave of the hand.
The pocket nerve is touched, and the
end Of Radicalism is nigh.

INTERMEDIATES COuRrs.

The Judiciary Committee of the Hi
nois Constitutional Convention have
agreed upon the following addition to
their State Constitution:
Sec. -. After the year 1874, inferior
appellant courts, and courts of uniform
organization and jurisdiction, may be
created in districts TO be formed for that
purpose, to which such appeals and writs
of error may be prosecuted from Circuit
and other courts as the General Assembly
may provide, and from which appeals and
writs of error shall lie to the Supreme
Court in all cases in which a franchise or
freehold is involved, and in such other
cases as may be provided for by law.
Such appellate courts shall be held by
such number of judges of the courts, and
in such manner, as provided by law; and
no judge shall sit in review upon cases
decided by him.

An IMPORTANT DECISION.

The Supreme Court of the United
States on Monday, the Path, decided, Mr..
Justice Swayne delivering the opinion,
that the plea of authority conferred by
the Confederate States for the indictment
and arrest of parties, was no defense in an
action for damages resulting from such
proceedings The decision was in the
case of Gen. Hickman, Of this city, vs..
Judge Belts and others, Of Huntsville,
Ala, who, as officers Of the court and
grand jurors, had indicted and arrested
the defendant for treason against the
Confederate States. The cause came
from the Circuit Court for the Northern
District of Alabama, where the acts COM
planned of were done during the war.
The court below held that the authority
of the Confederate States was d justifca-
ton. The Supreme Court reversed the
judgment and Temanded the cause.

EAST TEyNESsEE RAILRoAnE.

On the 26th inst. Hon. Horace May
nard, Of Tennessee, introduced petition
Of the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor-
gia Railroad Company, praying for such
legislation on the part Of Congress as VIII
enable the proper accounting officers Of
the Government to audit accounts, to au-
dit and settle upon a just and equitable
basis the accounts outstanding between the
Government and the East Tennessee rail
roads. The justice of the claims which
these roads have against the Government is
this, that the officers Of these roads, in 1862,
when it was known that Gen. Burnside
would penetrate and take possession of
Knoxville and Central East Tennessee,
retained aud kept al and near Knoxville,
at the risk Of their personal liberty and
perhaps their lives, large amounts Of rail
road supplies, consisting of iron, lumber,
oils and tools, and a large number Of
engines and cars. This property was
turned over 90 Gen Burnside's army. and
was of very great service in the opera
tons carried on in Upper and Lower Ten
ncssac, and, in fact, was considered the
means Of enabling that army to success
fully hold Knoxville against the assaults
of Lonr-trcet The communication be-
tween knoxville and Chattanooga was en-
tirclv cut of. SO that, If il had not been for
the supplies androlling stock thus secured, |
East Tennessee would probably have been
regaincd 10y the Confederates and the war
protractcd Il is also alleged in the petition
that large majority Of the stockholders
of these roads were thoroughly loyal
men, and that very many of them actual |
" served in the Union army, and aided in |
the capturc and destruction of their own |
roads. la view of the loyalty of East
Tennessee. and Of the peculiar circum-
stances under which the property now in
account was surrendered or taken by the
Government. it Is claimed that the de
mauds, now made by these roads should
not be c,a--.l with other Southern claims,
but should have particular legislation. The
case is now before the House Committee
On Claims for consideration.

uAsSACHUSETTs ON REPgDLA-
EION


Mr.. Mungen, of Ohio, who mads the
speech IN favor Of Reputation a short
time since, has received many letters sus-
tanning the position he then so boldly as
sumed. Among Others which have been
published, we find one from Mr. E. II.
Haywood, of Worcester, Mass. In this
letter Mr.. Haywood tells Mr.. Mungen:
''YOu have met and defied a mightier
despotism, the seat of whose power is not
in Charleston or New Orleans, but in New
York and Boston. 1 send you herewith q
petition of H. Fl. Bigelow and 154 other
citizens of Worcester, which you viii
please present and have referred TO the
Committee on Finance. Mr.. Bigelow is a
Republican, and one of the largest manu-
facturers in Massachusetts,. do not eI-
sggerate in saying that an equal number
of the signers embody quite as much in
telligence and honest patriotism as the
1873 scoundrels who voted for Garfield's
resolution. Politically there are about
three Republicans to one Democrat among
the signeTs, and more than one hundred
of the whole number work in one shoe
factory. You can judge by that how our
people viii stand when the issue is frankly
and intelligently considered"
This is very strong language to come
from Massachusetts, and especially as it is
signed by large manufacturers, and ''about
three Republicans to one Democrat. +"
VIII not the Butler from Massachusetts
cast his critical eye over this document and
see if he cannot find therein some imper-
fections which should not be passed by2
Massachusetts must stand fast. There
must be no dissenting voice from her ster-
lie fields, OF high taxes, high tariffs, Ma
tional bonds and National Banks may
have to yield to justice and equality, and
then Puritan Republicsnism sinks be-
meath the waves of oblivion forever.

THE YOUNG sTsTER-VIRGINIA.

THE YOUNG sISTER-VIBGINIA.
Virginia, the youngest of tie sister
hood of States, had jollifcation over
her admission into the charmed circle.
One hundred guns were fred and several
speeches made. Among the rest Mr..
DIcMahon was called on, and made very
neat and appropriate speech Of about ten
minutes.
he said: would be derelict of duty
should 1 not respond to your call. l re-
gret to state that cannot rejoice on the
advent Of Virginia into the Union. Her
admission Is to me a very painful refec-
ton. Turn your heads and look upon the
monument-Wsshington, Jefferson, Hen
~, Nelson, Marshall; these are of the
psstl But whom do you see nowl Sum-
ner and Butler. 1t really Is wonderful;
there they play the tragedy of Hamlet
with the character of Hamlet left out;
and Virginia comes in, @. o. D., granted
to order-and devil catch the hindmost.
Gentlemen, must very honestly say
to you, that do not ike either Sumner
OF DutlST.
The former has 8 certain lady in Eu-
rope; the latter is master Of knives and
forks. But reconstruction has come;
and to you, men with black faces, l say
this: That whether Butler or Sumner
speaks to the contrary, when they say
that you shall not have your rights, they
knowingly utter in their hearts
that which they know to be false
hoods. l have heard a hundred guns
fred to-day. We were shot out of the
Union, and, by hundred guns, shot into
it again; and my only prayer is, that
hereafter there shall be no match found
to burn powder for purposes of American
fratricide. :"
We extend to our young sister the con-
gratulations appropriate to the occa-
sion. May she live long and prosper

GEN. CnayT,s ExTRayacANCE

A Washington special referring TO the
recent exposures, from Radical sources,
of the enormous expenditures of the
present Administration, says:
Mr.. Dawes, in his rejoinder to Gen.
Butler, maintained the truth of all he had
said then, and took up in detail the esti-
mates, first making the members tofollow
linn with their printed book of estimates,
and make their comparison themselves,
and showed just the exact difference be-
tween the estimates made last year by
Andrew Johnson's administration and
those submitted this year by the Cabinet
of President Grant.
In citing this difference, he illustrated
that Secretary Robson asked So, GOO, 900
for the navy yard this year, while Mr..
Welles required less than half million
last year. These comparisons made seria-
tim footed up nearly forty million dollars,
and Mr.. Dawes appealed to the candid
judgment of the House if he is not sus-
tanned in his assertions. He then ad-
dressed himself to defense of the pro-
priety, and the occasion of his first speech,
as a Republican member, occupying a
position wherein he was responsible for
extravagant appropriations.
The special to the Cincinnati CONNER
ciaL says of Mr. Dawes rejoinder :
"His effort is generally regarded as very
strong one, and the opinion is that he has
fully sustained his position"
Don Pistt styles Gen. Butler, Benjamin
Tappertit Mirabeau, and says of his inten-
ton to reply to Mr.. Dawes;
"The mere fact indicates the situation.
Comment is uncalled for.
And 30, from holr to hour, we ripe and ripe
And then, from hour to hour, We rot and rot,
And thereby hangs tale
And the tale is the philosophy of decay,
and the death of republican institutions. y
