enterprising men and eminent scholars,
subject 10 she visitation and inspection Of
the Trustees and Legislature. u
What was the great object Of this lease
of corporate property, and this Judgment
of the power of appointing the necessary
and customary Professors in one branch
of the University in the successors of the
original Professors We shall not discuss
the question as to whether the surrender
! of corporate property for term of years
this surrender Of the appointment of the
successors Of the original appointees, was a
breach Of trust working a forfeiture of the
charter, If we should venture an opinion,
we should say that il was not. We ask
though, what was the object The object
was to use that great lever in all human
affairs to carry out the designs OF the charter
and of the Legislative body which created IT,
1t was evidently a wise and proper move
ment by the Trustees in 1850 and 1859.
We applaud them for it. Z. The Medical
Department Of the University Of Nashville
mas 4 been a greet and successful
addition ITO the " educational ne
sources OF the South and West, and
has greatly advanced the material re-
sources Of the city Of Nashville. The
trustees OF the University then had no
means to establish a Medical Department,
by paying the professors themselves, and
| none could have. nbeen established
| in any other way. lo They wisely
and judiciously- awaited themselves OF
the enterprise Of six eminent medi-
cal gentlemen, and they have accora-
plished by their individual exertions what
the Trustees Of the University never could
have accomplished. They have built up q
| medical school Of the first magnitude and
character, RI sssa..r aEfT l-s+-a
Why shall not the same Trustees avail
themselves of the private enterprise Of
two distinguished educators to establish,
maintain and carry on the undergraduate
department.! We have every confidence
that the Trustees will embrace al opportu-
nifty of giving life and vitality TO the insti-
tuition, which If lost, may noa again soon
/ be in our reach - G.

TIN Greeneville Nc1C Era has issued
a call for Convention at that place on
the gath of this month TO nominate can
didates for Chancellor, Circuit Judge and
Attorney General. This call is addressed
10 ''eyery class of persons" in the coun-
ties composing the First Chancery Dis
trict and the First Judicial Circuit The
paper declares that it does mot believe in
electing men to judicial positions on party
platfOrm1 or solely on account of politi-
cal tenets. " The Ne00 Era is preparing
to break off from the Radical party, or it
is trying to play sharp little game by in
ducing men who are opposed TO Radicals
TO go into Convention to nominate such
men as the Loyal League have here
tofore selected. We suspect it is trying
10 get Radicals continued in these offices.

TH8 Memphis appeal makes start
ling revelation about the escape of
Thomas Leonard, the defaulting Radical
Trustee of Shelby county, from the Jail
of that county. That paper states that
prisoners "saw the key of the inner gate
(of the jaiD delivered TO Leonard by
then officer of Shelby county, and that. in
leaving Leonard left his key in the lock,
where it was found by the employees, on
their return from that very important
meeting which took them all away from
their posts on that particular night" If
these statements can be proven to be
facts, and the AppCdFs informants think
they can, the parties implicated ought to
be punished to the fullest oxtcnt of the
law.

HOW STANTON sECURED THE.
y HANGING OF WERx.

HANGING OF WIRE.
The New York World, in a criticism
upon Judge Blacks article in The Galarg
in defense of the late Edwin NJ Stanton,
makes this statement:
'Nor is it amiss here to state a fact not
generally known, but susceptible of proof,
that when, on the trial of Wirz, Judge
Ould, the Confederate Commissioner of
Exchange, came to Washington, as wit
ness under subpoena, to prove the facts
we have stated, Stanton sent him word
that if he did not return home at once,
his parole would be determined. Hewent
away and SVirz was hung ~
1t appears that this was not the only
act of the blood. thirsty Stanton to secure
the conviction of Wirz. The Savannah
Repgblicaal states another fact, net gen
orally known, that Gen. Robert L. Lee
and Gen Howell Cobb were also sub
p@naed and ordered to Washington as
witnesses for the accused, but were sub
sequently met en- route by dispatches from
the goveenmrnt, ordering them not to come
on. Gen. Cobb gos as far as Savannah,
and, receiving his dispatch, turned back,
The prosecution had both these gentlemen
rejected as witnesses on the ground that
having engaged in rebellion, they were
personally infamous and not to be believed
on oath The Republican adds: eve
may also state, as an interesting fact in
this connection, that General Cobb, who
was in command at Macon during the year
1864, had he been allowed to reach Wash
ington, would have testified that upon
receipt of a very large number of wounded
Confederates from recent battle, more
than could be accommodated in Macon,
he wrote to Andersonville to have guam
tity of lumber that had been collected
there, sent up Immediately, to be used in
the construction of temporary hospitals.
Wirz refused to let it go, alleging that he
had been trying long and had procured it
with great difficulty in order to shelter has
prisoners We had this circumstance
from Gen. Cobb's own lips" Thus it
was that witnesses for the defense were
Silenced by the arbitrary action of Stan
ton, and the court organized to convict
sent Wirz to the gallows, and to his last
account, innocent though he was.

TIE Pittsburg Post in noticing the
fact that the American Colonization So
cic'y, at its recent meeting in New York,
strongly urged the colonization of negroes
in Liberia, and that this action was de-
nounced by leading Radical Journals,
says: "The very suggestion of coloniz-
ing negroes throws these Radical leaders
into paroxysms of rage, and they indig-
nantly ask, why not as soon talk of colo
nizing the Irish, Germans and ali other
adopted white citizens! They are inca
pable Of comprchcnding the difference or
the socialistic economy involved in the
colonization movement 1t is enough
for them to know that there is in it
threatened curtailmentpf their strength,
and to be bereft of that so soon after it
was so unscrupulOusly gained, is an idea
not to be for moment entertained"

TO THE NERVOUS.

The natural result OF exhaustion of siren 9Th by
excessive labor or action, is feeling Of weakness
dullness heaviness, weariness, languor OF body or
mind, etc. Persons of weak constitution, or
this relaxed condition Of the vital energies and
when persons Of a nervous temperament are thus
weakened and debilitated, disease inevitably fol-
lows, unless 1t is at once checked and overcome.
AL who suffer from these causes alike require
remedy which will strengthen the system without
exciting it, and awaken feeling Of true enjoy
ment so that life may become a source Of pleasure.
MISHLRR'S HERB BIT1ERS has won its way into
the confidence of thousands Of this class of per-
sons, who warmly endorse it as the best invi .or-
atng agent, and the most potent and genial Of all
tonics and alternatives, fO4 strengthening and re-
storing the physical constitution.
