WE sincerely hope with our contempt
rary, the Wing and Register, that there
will not be vote against city schools cast
tomorrow. The fact, however, that such
sentiments as are entertained by a cores
pondent of that paper are made public,
warns US that such votes will not only be
cast, but that there win be many of them.
1t is capable of demo nstration that a
vote against schools would be great peca-
MARY damage inflicted upon our city. We
have recently been put in communication
with hundreds of men i'm every State who
propose to como here for homes. We say,
without qualification, that three-fourths OF
them would not come at all il they did not
believe they would have the benefits of a
common school system. Knoxville has
now good reputation. 1t is looked to rs
a desirable home by many, but few will
care to come if it shall go abroad that this
community opposes the education of the
masses

Tue Mig ard Register takes us 80 task
for our notice of the remarks made by
Gen. W. G. Harding before the Davidson
county farmers club, relative to intelli-
gence rendering laboring men more mise
rable We did not mean any disrespect TO
Gen Harding, as the Hhig and RCSiSte,
would have its readers believe. We accord
10 him the privilege of entertaining just
such views, and do not, for moment,
think that he does not honestly entertain
them The editor of the Wig AID Re
gistey remarks:
" In the first place, il is Il fact that some very
Intelligent men think that TO increase mans
intelligence, without increasing his means of
gratifying the desires that intelligence hegets. is
20 confer very doubtful favor. The opinion
further prevails that these ungratifed desires
but make their victim Disconnected unhappy
and SO faT units HIM for filling any subordinate
sphere, whether on the farm or in the work
shop
Nobody disputes that there are men who
entertain such views, but it will be seen
that the Wig and Register fails to say how
il stands OH the subject. It only says
some very intelligent men think that to
increase q mans intelligence without in
creasing his means of gratifying the de-
sires that intelligence hegets, is to confer q
very doubtful favor" What sentiments
does the Wing ard Register entertain on
the subject? We hold that when a mans
intelligence is increased, the means of
gratifying his increased desires naturally
follow. 1t is not an axiom, by any means,
that an intelligent mans desires can only
be gratifed by the possession of wealth.
It seems to US to be a cruel policy that
wouId keep the humble man in ignorance,
because it is supposed that ignorance is his
bliss. and that wisdom would be his folly
II r the nature of true manhood to aspire,
and we have no patience with doctrine
that would hold the mechanic, the farmer
or the laboring man in state of ignorance,
because BY increasing his intelligence he
would have increased desires, which might
lead him to aspire TO q higher sphere in
society. 1
The policy spoken of by the Wig and
Reqister would have kept Benjamin
franklin at the printers case; Hugh
Miller in the stone-quarry Robert Collier
II the blacksmith's anvil, or Roger Sher-
man at the shoemaker's bench.

WHO CAN VOTE :

AS will be seen from the report of Col.
Jno. Baxter and Chancellor Temple, every
free-holder, and every man who rents an
Office, house or store for year, or who has
an interest in such lease for year, can
vote. 1t makes no difference whether he
lives here or not. If he own property in
the city, or leases in the city, he can vote.
Let this fact be remembered, for there may
be an effort to give currency to a different
version of the law.

WE are informed that . large class Of
voters in the city oppose the school tax
because the colored people will get the
benefit of it, Now, il we are correctly adj
.sised,s the eolored children have better
-schecls than the poor white children. The
former get help from church societies and
other sources from abroad, while the latter
depend upon the help they get from their
own race here Mt home. It is generally
believed, by the persons who aid the blacks,
that the whites are able and willing TO ed
ucate the poor and unfortunate children of
their own race. But such an argument
against schools cuts both ways. 1t amounts
to this, that to keep the colored children
ignorant We will keep ignorant the poor
white children. The tax WILL of course,
inure TO the benefit of al. Il is levied
upon the principle that ten thousand dol
lars spent for schools by experienced and
honest men will educate more children
and do it better than the same sum spent
without system or cooperation.

SOME months ago we published the ar
yument of Col. Baxter, addressed to the
Investigating Committee, in which he
stated distinctly that he abandoned his
case against Col. Fleming, as he had no
satisfactory proof to sustain his charges.
This left the Committee nothing to report
Yet, when the Committee reports and ex-
onorates Col. Fleming. we are accused of
unfairness in not stating SO. We stated
months ago that the charges against him
were abandoned. and that was all III fair
ness we could be expected to say. We did
not publish the report because there was
nothing in it beyond mere statement Of
the fact that Col. Baxter had not proven
his charges, and that much of the report
was contained in our article, Of which
complaint is made

GEN. GRANT is not the first President
who favored the annexation of st. Domin-
go. Presidents Polk and Pierce sent out
commissions to report upon its resources,
condition, &c. Negotiations during Pierce's
Administration were cut off by foreign Sc

fore, that the Democracy have no right to
set up such 4 howl over annexation.

A WARNING.

There is great actual danger that the
proposition to levy school tax will be
voted down tomorrow in this city, unless
its friends are dctiUe and at the polls. We
do not say it to arouse idle fears, but after
careful inquiry. There is many man in
this city supposed to be for schools, or, at
least, non-committal, who will vote against
the tax. We hope, for the credit of the
city, and for the sake of the cause, that
every school man will be at work. 1t is
not political question, as the list of
speakers who address the people shows.
Our contemporary, the Wig and Register,
favors it, and does so, just as we do, without
political designs. To make sure of the
vote, let every man work at the polls.
