AT the Democratic Congressional
Convention, last Thursday, a Spencer
County man introduced and read a
resolution that pronounced emphatic
ally in favor of o white mans party,
a white mans government, ruled espe-
cidLly in the interest of white men; it
also bitterly denounced Chinese i'm
migration to this country. It was
enthusiastically applauded, and re-
ferred to the committee on resolu-
tions, which committee was discreet
enough not to report it back to the
convention.-Priacet07e Clarion.
How could the Convention do 9TH
erwise than suppress this resolution,

Tne Yacht Race.

NEW YORK, July 28.-The result
of the international yacht race caused
intense excitement here. The uni
versal feeling is that the relative
speed of the yachts is as yet undecid-
ed. When the rumor spread early
this afternoon that the Dauntless was
the winner, expressions of jubila-
ton were unbounded, and the revul-
sion was comparatively great when it
was learned that the English yacht
was victorious. The betting on each
was heavy, especially on the latter.
Among the guests of the Fifth Ave-
nue. Hotel and among all classes. the
number of persons VI no invested their
money on the American yacht, the
losses are large. The impression is
prevalent that the sailing master OF
the Dauntless took a less favorable
course than the Cambria, which was
disastrous.

We were greatly surprised yester-
day, on learning that James Scantlin
and his wife, Jane Scantlin. had ap-
piled to Judge johnson, of the Com
mon Pleas Court, for an injunction
against the issue by the city of $780,
900 in bonds, and subscribing the
same to the stock of the Evansville
and indianapolis Railroad Company
The election on Wednesday. was so
overwhelmingly in favor of said sub
scription, that we thought no more re-
sistance would be made by any one to
the subscription and issue of the bonds
in accordance with the terms upon
which the city was asked to subscribe
By said Company. We could hardly
realize it to be possible that so ster-
ling a Democrat as Mr.. Seantlin,
would dare to run counter to the
wishes of the Chairman of the Dis
trict Committee aud Editor of the
Evansville Courier, in so important a
matter. It seems. however, that MIR.
Seantlin has fought the road at every
step since Mr.. Fellows submitted his
proposition to the city, and that be
designs fighting it out on that line. if
it takes all Summer.
After hearing the complaint. Judge
johnson granted temporary injunc-
tion. For ourselves. we do not think
the complaint well founded. 1t is
true the law OF 1865 may have requir-
ed a majority of the legal voters OF
the city to cast their ballots in favor
Of a given railroad subscription before
it became valid aud bin ding upon the
tax payers thereof, but our recollec
tion is that this law was so far amend
ed In 1867 as TO requira only a major

en- election TO decide the subscrip-
tion of stock to any specified railroad
We are not sufficiently we'll posted

the law required a majority of all the
voters IN the city in favor of the SUBJ

on Wednesday. IF that was the only
reason, he must have forgotten the

EoQt Long Enough.

The Nashville Union and american
uses the words of truth and soberness in
the following:
.By some strange coincidence in lethar-
CIV or disagreement, for many successive
decades the United States census has
! shown that North Carolina and her daugh-
ter, Tennessee, enjoyed the unenvlable dis
| t%inctiOn of being respectively first and
| second in the list of States when arranged
in the order of popular ignorance. How
two great States, each most highly favored
by nature both conspicuous IN the an-
mails of the nation-one brilliantly So
should for this long period have been salts
fed with a position thus mortifylngiy noto-
r1ous. we will not now stop to inquire. vi
one thing, though, We are certain, to wit !:
That it is high time to renounce this bad
pre-eminence. We very well know that
many persons, in view of the sad financial
condition of the State government are dis
posed to take the ground that nothing can
be done at present toward establishing an
efficient system of public schools from
Carter to Shelby and that hence tor a
generation or two longer we must drag on
in the rear of all our sister States. From
this view we altogether dissent. Each in
dividual in Tennessee should have such an
elementary education as fits for usefulness
in society. Private enterprise cannot ac-
complish this great work, no more than 1t
can provide the machinery for the admin
istration of Justice. The State alone has
the power and the wealth ia do both. 1t
should no more neglect the one than the
other. 1t cannot prosper as 1t may and
should. unless both are at least respecta-
blv performed. Whatever else is left I'M
done the administration of justice and the
education of the people are the great func-
lions d~evolving upon the State govern
ments in our vast Union-functlons which
bring them in direct contact with every IN
dividual and endear them to all hearts
To neglect or abandon either Is virtually
to abdicate, and to proclaim to the world
our unftness for existence as a State.
Tennessee is now starting out upon a
new career, after a mighty civil revolution
with a constitution based upon the order
brought out of recent political and social
chaos. This constitution fully and en-
phatically recognizes the obligation OF the
State TO educate her citizens. 1t is for
many reasons desirable that no delay De
permitted in carrying fully into effect the
letter and the spirit Of our fundamental
law. We therefore heartily second the
effort now making by the Teachers State
Association to arouse the attention OF the
electors and those to be elected to this
p,omentous uuestion.
