EDITORS. CHRoNIcLE: I had the pleas
ure Of spending yesterday forenoon, at the
University, and was delighted with what
saw and heard, but sOrrely panied to
think that there are 80 many young men
in this city, spending these precious years
of youth, in clerking or other pursuits,
yielding but trifiing pecuniary reward,
at the University in broad and generous
intellectual culture, in scholarly investiga-
tons in nature, science, art and language;
thereby giving manly breadth to the de-
velopment of their minds, and q range to
their researches, and volume to their
ideas and thoughts, beyond the little pet
ty boundary of daily business and local
news and politics. Remember, young
men of Knoxville, you, who are neglect
ing. the opportunities and privileges
which our University offers you, that He
that increaseth knowledge" as saith Solo
mon, "increaseth strength or, as Lord
Bacon hath it, knowledge is power"
Irrespective of your future trades, profess
siOns or pursuits, there is no other way
in which you can spend your time till
YOU are twenty years of age or more, as
satisfactorily and tlsefully to yourself, and
which will render you of so much value
to society and to the world, and SO much
respected and honored in the world, as in
ODUAlulnS tuOTUuSu dqualHtituCc WITH
the subjects and sciences that are en-
braced in course of collegiate education,
and in the intellectual discipline and
growth resulting from such an achieve
ment. '"i'i = |
But to the University. heard recita-
ton in Ovid, conducted by PRO-. Allen, in
Agricultural Chemistry, by Prof, Nichol-
son, and one in Mechanics and another in
algebra by Prof. Payne. All these recita-
tons were of a high order, and the stu
dents, with very few exceptions, handled
their subjects with readiness, clearness
and precision, showing that they not, only
comprehended the subject in its general
relations and outlines, but had also given
special and minute attention to :particu
lars.
There was an air of mental activity, iof
interest in the subject before the class, and
of a thorough appreciation of it. And
this tells the whole story. 1t shows that
the classes are not only in the hands of
able and learned men, but-which Is mo
Less mpnrtant-that they are also wisely
and thoroughly taught. M. c. BUTLER.

D1ABoL1cAL OUTRAGE In MISSISSIPPI.

The Memphis Avalanche brings to us an
account of another outrage at Pontotoc,
Mississippi, on Friday of last week, perpe-
trated by gang of disguised marauders.
1t appears that gentleman by the name
ofFlournoy has been publishing Repub-
lican paper at that place for some time,
contrary to the wishes of the khan. AL
though a Republican, he was Confede-
rate soldier during the late war. He had
received number of anonymous commu-
nications recently, notifying him to leave
the country, " if he did not want coron-
er's inquest held in his family" On the
night in question, body of disguised men
rode into town, where they happened to
confront party of citizens who had been
on hunting expedition. The kuklux
heralded their arrival by firing several
shots, which attracted the attention of the
hunting party, and they went out to see
the cause of the commotion, taking their
guns with them. Judge Pollard, promi-
nent citizen, stepped forward and asked
the marauders what they wanted. The
reply was volley from their pistols and
guns, when the hunting party returned
the fire, emptying one saddle, when the
others like dastards, fed in haste, leav-
ing their companion behind MORALLY
wounded. He died in few minutes after
being shot, but before his death, stated
that they had come after Flournoy, accord
ing to previous notice given him. He,
however, refused to give the names of any

IMPORTANT TO THE LEGAL PROFESSION.

Those members of the Bar in Tennessee
who have long felt the necessity of fixings
higher standard for the legal qualification,
necessary to secure license for the high
and noble profession Of the law, than has
heretofore obtained i'm East Tennessee and
in other sections of the State, will be glad
to know that their Honors. Chancellor o.
?. Temple and Judge q. T. Hall, havejus
decided upon policy governing the prae-
tice for securing law licenses, which will
speedily remedy the evil noted. There
fore, upon obtaining a merely formal cir
tiicate of good moral character from the
County Courts, law students have been re.
quired, Gin too many cases;) to undergo @
hasty and imperfect examination from
Judges who were generally applied to for
license at some Court, when too busy to
conduct an examination, or 80 situated
otherwise as to make the examination 8
mere farce. In many eases, it was not only
carelessness, but actual negligence and fail
ure to do their duty on the part Of the
Judges, that secured for great many men
law licenses, who had neither the requisite
moral, mental, or legal qualifications.
There are men with law licenses to-day in
all parts of the State, who are positively a
disgrace to the profession, and robbing it
of that confidence and respect which it de-
serves from the people.
Feeling the necessity for reform in this
matter, we are authorized by the dis
tinguished Judges named to say, that
hereafter no candidate for admission to
the bar will be licensed by them until he
shall have passed satisfactory examine
ton in open court, before some committee
of lawyers to be, from time to time, de-
signated by them, either in Knoxville or
at some other point in their circuits to be
named. Candidates bearing a recommen-
dation for admission from a majority of
the committee so designated, will file their
applications for license with the recon-
mendation, when their claims will be
duly considered. Without such recon-
incubation, candidates need not in any
case apply for law license to either of the
gentlemen named.
The first public examination under this
new system will take place on Saturday,
the Sd day of June next, in the Chancery
Court room in the court house in this city,
before Chancellor o. P. Temple presiding,
in open court, the following committee of
lawyers to conduct the examination Hon.
George Andrews, Col. John Baxter, James
r. Cooke, w. P. Washbarn and Col. J.
M. Thornburgh. All applicants for law Ii
cense in any county in this Chancery Di-
vision or Law Circuit, are invited to pre-
sent themselves before this committee for
examination on the day designated. AS
it may be some time before another COM
mittee is named, or time fixed, parties in
terested are expected to remember this ap-
pointment.
We are glad this policy has been agreed
upon, and we know the effort of Judges
Temple and Hall to thus elevate the stand
ard of the bar will be universally and
heartily sustained by the legal fraternity
and fully appreciated by the people.

One of Gods first injunctions to creation
enveloped in darkness was, !. Let there be
light" and one having an interest in the
welfare of our city would make like re-
quest. We want financial light. We
must have it. The electioneering fiasco on
the eve of the last election, wherein daz-
cling portrayal of our city finances was ex-
hibited to an unsuspecting people, must
be made good, or those responsible must
be ostracised in future elections. .o,--s I'd, /.
1 understand it was tacitly agreed upon
by the Board, of which these gentlemen
were prominent members, that monthly
exhibit of the finances should be presented
to our citizens. Has this been done2 Only
in one instance. And has the error of that
gorgeous display been atened foreh Only
in the election of our present Board.
