THE Tennessee Secretary Of Stats
Fletcher, Il IL charged, has swim
died the State to & very great e1.
tent In the management and sale Of
certain school scrip entrusted to
him. II Is alleged that he has mis-
appropriated the State funds to the
amount Of over $4,000. 1t iS
alleged that Fl etcheF and Represen-
tatlve Bronson refused bids Of 90 to
-95 cents and sold It secretly for
9O1t, 10 an Ohio banker named
Lewis. Two Of the bidders, Messrs.
MARI and So nfOFd, live in Nash
vile. The inference is that there
was collision between Fletcher and
Bronson and the Ohio banker, and
the committee claim to have posi-
tive proof to this effect, as they
have recently been in correspond
encc with q number of bankers who
were then interested in the matter.
II is further alleged by the commit
tee, and they claim to have positive
aud official proof, that Fletcher
ehaEged over $1,000 for aflxlng the
official seal to these bonds, when the
law required him 10 attach the seal
without fee. A resolution was
about to be introduced on the 18th
TO impeach Fletcher, but II was de-
cided not to do so, as it is alleged
he Ia ambitious to be thus made q
martyr, and especially as his term
Of Office will terminate In a couple
Ofmonths. II is alleged, however,
that criminal proceedings will be at
once instituted against him.
The committee are still gathering
testimony In the case, and
will not be able to report fer sew
eral days. Fletcher has recently
been making savage onslaught on
the Legislature and Convention,
which Is said to find its explana-
ton In counting outside sympa-
thy, in order TO break the force OF
the grave charges brought against
him.

REBELLION Misunderstanding
II is not generally known that our
State would long ago been q MEM
Der Of the ga-lOriOuS Union, but for
the fact that Hon. BreVet Maj. Gen.
Gov. Adelbert Ames had report
ed TO Congress the existence Of the
Cadets at "st. Stephens Academy"
and the dangerous spirit Of dislOyl-
ty thus shown TO be rampant at the
South.
Well, these young "Rebs bad
the audacity yesterday to cOmmem-
crate Washington's birthday, by
q parade in spite Of mud and rain,
hearing Wssbington's Farewell Adj.
dress read by Hon. ]. w. N. Harris
and an eloquent and elegant address
from Col. g.. NJ. Hillyer, and a din
ner on the NATcHEz. As a
pGblic Journalist, and q pious
Onion man, while we wish
prosperity to the school, we
must say out Of regard to Abe
Lincoln and Gen. Grant, those great
and good men, that in paying such
hOnors to the memory Of the chief
est Of Rebels, as were paid yester-
day, it is endangeriDg our instltu-
tiOns and laying the foundation
from which great evils may result
In the future.
Mr.. Washington, was undoubt-
eddy a very respectable old gen tie
man but nevertheless he rebelled
against the best government the
world ever saw and was q means
Of causing this land to run red
with blood. To do honor then, to
this great aud bloody rebel after
the overwhelming lesson rebellion
has just received from Lincoln,
Grant, Butler & Co. was unmistak-
ably an act Of hardihood and dis.
loyalty, Of course.
ANY way 1.-THE cadets" turned out
and in spite of weather, looked
finely and drilled well.
The dinner on tho Matches was
truly excellent.
Capt. feathers had kindly and
considerably extended to the
youths Of the Academy an invita-
ton to dine with him on his charm
ing boat, and the boys did eagerly,
effectually and with splendid appe-
tites approve and accept of the Of
for. Large.hearted Capt. Tom said
"he wanted the boys TO enjoy
themselves, and he heartily hoped
they would" aud we knew from
the generous glow, upon his cheek,
he meant II, every word, and that
be thought, perhaps, Of a little boy
Of bis own would have enjoyed
such an occasion also.
Many q year after good old Capt.
Leathers has cast his anchor In the
harbor Of eternity, will those young
gentlemen remember kindly bis
memory, and hoy, once upon 3
time, they were the objects Of bis
consideration and hospitality.
