= THERE are few cities in the South more
fayorably known abroad, as prosperous ana
growing. than Knoxville. Most of this
reputation has been made through the ell
forts of private individuals. None OF IL Is
the result of public enterprise. Why does
Knoxville not have some organization, OF
make some effort to take advantage OF TINS
widespread, popular and favorable impress

=" MACK" late managing editor OF the
Cincincinnati Enquirer, now of the Chi
cago Republicdn, shrewd observer, says
of the Ohio Democratic nominees: Mr..
McCook. like Vallandigham, Pendleton,
and the most of the leading men OF the
Convention, is principally distinguished
hy, the persistency of his aspirations fol-
Office, and the multiplicity of his defeats
and Mr.. Hunt is only known as an active
operator in the local politics of Cincinnati,
in, which he has been more, successful
in accommodating money than reputation.

hopes of success at the election were not

THE school law, enacted by the last As
sembly, provides that the School Commits
sioners of the several districts, together
with the School Commissioners of the in
corporated city or cities, shall constitute
the Board of EDUCATION fol-, the. county
This board has general supervision OF the
organization and managementiof the
schools in the county. Ina civil district
embracing city, the law seems to pro
vide that the Commissioners for the civil
districts shall tnrn over to the city Com
missioners all the money, coming into
their hands for distribution. 1t would
SEEM therefore, that the School Commits
sioners recently elected will have only
such control over the city schools as is civ
en,in a general way to the County Boarf
for general supervision of county schools
We do.hot think, however, this fact les
sens their responsibility. They will be 2
portion Of the board and have voice il
the organization of the schools of th
county. ~ a
