EprToRs CHRONICLES: I see in the

EDITORs CHRONICLES: | see In the
Tobacco Leaf, of the 23rd ult., call
for a meeting of the people of the
county, to consult and adopt some
plan for the better regulation Of the
labor system Of the county; which
Is paramount to all other questions
ut this time. r.r a4is
Intimately connected with this
question, is the present School sys-
tenn of Montgomery county. Are
the people willing that the County
Court, at is January term shall again
levy an additional School tax Of about
$4,000, upon the Taxpayers of the
county, for the purpose of educating
the negro children of the county p
Do not the developments under ex-
isting regulations, show that with
the present high government and
Safe tax, the additional County tax
of $4,000, is more than the people can
stand? 1t is well known that the
negroes pay comparatively none OF
this school fund-whilst in Districts
Nos. !, @ and II, there are about two
negro children in the free schools To
one white-all the negro children go
to school. But part Of the white
children are kept at home to work
for the support of the family. And
this Is not the worst feature of its
working. The proceeds of the labor
of these white children are stolen by
the negroes to feed their children
who are being raised up in idleness.
1t is impossible for any man, either
white or black, from his labor alone,
without land to cultivate, teams or
implements to till rented land with.
1t is impossible to support wife and
family Of children without the assist
ance of the labor of part of the
children, but the negroes keep them
all at school, hence, they are COM
PEELED to steal or starve.
The present mode adopted by most
of the farmers Of the county, to fur
nish the land, teams, ETC., and give
the negro one half they make, is fast
destroying the farming interest of
this county, and nothing is having
so demoralizing an effect upon the
negroes for the negro has really all
that the farmer is worth in his own
hands; for at the most important
time Of the crop, If he thinks proper
to go to his club meeting, or some
place of amusement, IL the white
man says to him: ''Everything will
be lost unless you quit running about.
What is the negroes reply: awe
have written contract and If you
are losing, so am i; we are even on
that score; you must stand It," And
it is so, for they are equals in law
We ought to abandon the county
tax for free schools and employ the
negroes for n stipulated price, In
money, or both white and black are
certain to go down together.

A STRANGE LAKE.-A California
paper says. "All who attempt to
swim in the waters of Lake Tahoe,
must have been startled at their
strange lack of buoyancy. Good
swimmers launch forth into the lake
with tile most utmost confidence In
their skill, aud ut once find them
selves fiOundering, and only able to
keep themselves atloat by the most
strenuous eXertions. The bodies oI
men drowned in the lake are never
seen after they have once sunk. Oi
the five white persons drowned in the
lake not single body has ever beer
recovered or ever seen. Pine log,
tioat in the lake but a very shOr
time, then sink never TO rise. Ii
places far down through the crysta
l'uid are 10 be seen, resting upon tn,
bottom, great quantities of slabs
logs, and lumber.

THE Franklin Review says: Mr..
Geo. 5. Nichol, a gallant soldier OF
the Lost Cause, received couple OF
wounds in the head during the war.
One ball struck him In the mouth,
and terribly mutilated his whole face;
the other entered his right eye and
the doctors could never tell where II
stopped. The other day Mr.. Nichol
was indulging in hearty laugh,
when to his surprise the ball dropped
down into his mouth, and he was
thus pleasantly received OF ball
that has been an annoyance to him
for more than six years.

THE Athens Post is sensible and
Sam WINS head is level. Now that
the elections are over, the Post hopes
the political press of the State will
cease its foolishness and turn It's at
tention to other and more important
interests. There are too many elee-
tions-to0 much politics-too much
party, and we are glad there IL 10 be
at least temporary respite. The
next general election In Tennessee
will occur in November, 1872, before
which date it is possible several i'm
portant things will happen in this
State.
