THE ToMAHAwK Duo Up.--h an article
last week our neghbor notifies Hon. j. II.
Nef and Hons. IL. Long and j. Welty, Of
this county, that he has dug up the toma-
hawk, and will brandish and use the scalping
knife on them in the next Republican con-
vention in this county, and that the Hon.
O. ii. Lee will be his second. All this
comes of something that happened in the
Senatorial caucus. This is, to us, forbidden

RECONCILE rr.-Ihe Daily Record is very
Mrs. Woolhull and her kind (woman's
rights men and women,) to march in their
procession bearing banner on which was
inscribed, d" Social and Political Equality to
Both Sexes" The Record's Indignation
fairly makes our hair stand on end Hear
it:
"Now society that adopts the doctrines
taught by that set, and openly endorses them by
public demonstration, is society that must be
regarded as public nuisance, n foe to good
morals, an enemy to the purity of womanhood,
an exponent and champion of all that Is base,
earthly, sensual, devsh, in the worst elements
Of the community As such it is alike the in
forest and duty of all honest and pure men and
women to oppose all their influence to the teach
ings and the workings of this infamous and inn
moral organization 1T is aimed directly at the
subYcrson of our social system, and the estab-
lshment of saturnalia of bcastly lust and bru~
tai rapine. 1t is anti-repubcan in its purposes,
unmanly in it's doctrines, degraded III It's aims,
shameful in its record, ipnoble IN It's leadership,
and altogether bad and wicked.
" Seems to us that A. A. Sargent and
wife are here pretty roughly described, as it
is notorious that A. A. publicly announced
bis conversion and future adhesion to this
set, and that his wife is high official in the
party; and yet the Record aided to make
Sargent U. S. Senator, and glorcs in it.
OUR friend Hopper, of the Folsom Itle-
graph, and now Speaker pro tem of the
Assembly, wants grceuboclIs declared a le-
gal tender and to prohibit special contracts.
Dir. Hopper is a lawyer, but we think not a
constitutional one. We cite the Hon. gen
tlcman to Section 10, Article l of the Con
stitution of the United States, and remind
him of the fact that California is only a
State and he a Representative in her Legis-
lature under a solemn oath to support this
section, which reads as follows:
Section TO- No State shall enter into any
treaty, alliance or confederation; grant letters of
marque and reprisal coin money; emit bills Of
credit; mdke dnythiag bit goid and Silrer coin q
tender in poymeat Of dejtS pass any bill of at
tander, cr post facto law, or lac unpair6,g the
obhg1ion Of col!ractS, or grant any title of no.
bity.
Read this over again, Mr.. Hopper, and
then walk right up to the trough, and an
swcr under oath, fodder or no fodder. 1t is
\ serious thing to violate an oath, and more
serious still to violate the great charter Of
our countrv's liberty.

Adjournment of the Legislature.

On Monday last the Legislatsao adj
journed sine die, "after several long,
exhaustive and most proftless sessions.
Probably no Legislative body has ever
assembled from whom the people ex-
pected so much, and received so little of
good. The Legislature was not without
good men, some of the brightest intel
lects in the State, but they were in a
hopeless minority. They also passed
some good and wholesome laws, but at
the same time they did a great deal of
Legislation which they ought not to have
done, and left undone very, very many
things which they ought to have done.
There was never so fine an opportunity
presented for q Legislature to win an
enduring and lasting fame and accom-
plish immense good for the public; but
they failed To improve the opportunity,
and disappointed everybody. The peo-
pie were expecting q great deal Radi-
calism had just been %overthrown by an
overwhelming majority in the State, and
the vast heap of wildcat, special, class
and party legislation which they had
enacted, justly and naturally caused the
people to anticipate a reform equal to
the enormity so recently perpetrated.
Our hopes were high and our disap-
pointment has been deep and humilia-
ting. With many it has been q matter
OF amazement and most utter astonish-
ment that a body composed of SO many
of ability and influence, with such
q vast field of labor before them, could
accomplish so little"

The Press Convention.

We have read with pleasure the pro-
ceedings of the Press Convention, which,
met at Nashville last Friday and Satur-
day. The Chattanooga Daily Times
says it was, perhaps an event of more
Importance than the general public will
be apt to appreciate Some thirty OF
the leading papers Of Sa State wererep-
resented by their editors and publishers,
and aside from the general good feeling
engendered, and social relations estab-
lished by the personal introduction to
one another of the editorial fraternity,
measures were adopted for mutual pro-
lection which will be of vast pecuniary
advantage to the members of the Asso-
citation. The resolution adopted in re-
latien to protection against sWindling
advertisers, will save a large amount an
nually to newspaper publishers. The
desire of the Association to have legal
advertising placed upon the same basis
as other advertising was expressed by
the appointment Of a committee upon
that subject, and we have every conf
dence that their labor will result in sue
cess.
A resolution was adopted that the AS
ISOLATION take a trip next August to Bos-
ton via Washington, Baltimore and New
York, and thence home by way of Chi
cago, and a committee appointed to
make the necessary arrangements. tits
the fashion for Northern Press Associa-
tons to make excursions Southwark,
and we think it will be equally as good
q thing for Southern Press Associations
to 60 Northward in search of informa-
ton and pleasure.
One gentleman wished to add to the
resolution o clause requiring the suspen-
sion of all the papers in the State during
the excursion, but it was thought that
this would be most too severe upon the
people, and the suggestion was rejected.
The address to the Association, Fri
day night, by Col. A. ]. Kellar, of the
Memphis Avalanche, and the poem by
DIR. r. L. G. White, of the Lebanan
Herald, were excellent. The poem par
ticularly abounded in witty illusions to
the country editors of thcState.
1t remains to speak OF the hospitality
of the Maxwell house, the best hotel i'll
the South, which crowded it's favors
upon the Association N mani which
would have been overwhelming to any
body of man except the Press Associa-
ton, who are used to that sort of thing.
The Maxwell House is a great institution
and every body ought to stop there.
The Battle House, also, kept by the
jolly Gen. joel A., spared no pains to
make the editors feel at home ut u COM
plimentuy supper, on Friday night.
And after the speaking, the same night,
the entire corps were taken charge of by
Roberts g. Purvis, Of the Nashville Ban
ner, and escorted to Basset's to get some
oysters, &c, (chiefy &C.,
Altogether the reunion was u very
pleasant affair, and we hope to see a still
larger gathering at the regular Annual
Meeting on Thursday, June 6th.

A Rit of Eemnla Stratnrr

The Senate Committee on Military
Affairs have reported a bill appropria-
ting $4,000, in full satisfaction of claim
Of Miss Anna Ella Carroll of Maryland
for her services in furnishing valuable
information to the War Department du-
ring the rebellion, and preparing certain
useful publications during the same pc
Rod, upon an understanding with the
War Department. Col Scott states that
about the 30th of November, 1861, Miss
Carroll suggested to him, as Assistant
Secretary Of War, to abandon the expe-
dition then preparing to descend the
Mississippi river, and adopt instead the
Tennessee river, and handed him her
plan of campaign. This plan was sub
mitted to the Secretary Of War and its
general ideas adopted.

ChiSeling John Brown.

Miss Edmonia Lewis, the young sculp-
tress has returned to Rome. She takes
with her a commission to chisel q life

League Club, New York. It is thus that
loyalty seeks to perpetuato the memory
of n fanatic who sought to have South
ern women and children butchered.
Old John Brown, whose "soul is
marching on" to deeper and hotter
depths, is u representative nan of the

to have IL photograph of the old scoun-
drel to remind them Of their chief who
has only gone before, and in a way they
ought to go.-Er.

Educational.
n NIBER l..

EDIToR EENrERPRlsG: We propose a
series Of articles for your paper, embracing
the subject Of teaching, together with the
duties growing out of the mutual relation
of parents and teachers, selected chiefly
from the best authors and writer's on the
subject, with the hope that they may be
the means Of awakening a deep aud abid-
ing interest in the cause of education in
our midst.
This, the first one of the series, we will
devote to the Teacher. The influence and
Importance of his Office cannot be over-as-
timated, and he who fills it should we'll
consider the immense responsibility that
rests upon him. He should clearly com
pgehend the nature and magnitude of tile
duties of his office that he may correctly
judge of his own fitness, and rightly dis
charge his duties. No one should be so
rash or inconsiderate as to undertake any
important work without a well-grounded
assurance of his ability to bring it to a
successful issue If a man would con-
struct a house he must have a proper
knowledge of the rules of architecture.
If he would command a ship freighted
with a valuable cargo and precious lives
he must be acquainted with the princi-
pies of Navigation; ignorance here might
prove the destruction of thousands of dol
lars, and thousands of lives that could not
be estimated by dollars. If then, pru-
dence, wisdom and judgment are 50 essen
tial in matters of this kind, how can we
attach too much importance to high quail
fcations and skill in him who is to train
and educate imperishable minds of the
young. If it be important for the work.
man who engages in polishing jewels and
precious stones to understand his business,
how much more so is the work of him who
is called to polish and ennoble those price
less and deathless jewels which are intrust-
ed to his care? ~
The teachers work is one of the utmost
consequence and interest so far as relates
both to the present and future well-being
of those with and for whom he devoteS his
time and talents. A due appreciation
and correct knowledge and a fuithful dis
charge of appropriate duties will lead to
u most desirable degree of exhalation of
mind; yet, at the same time a want ofclear
conception, or an unfaithiul performance
of those high obligations, will tend to in
jure and depress both teacher and pupil.
When we consider the number of youths
in our midst, whose future success, happi-
ness and usefulness depend in SO great a
degree upon the nature and extent of their
school training and school influences, with
what weight for good or i'll do these con-
siderations invest those teachers to whose
care and training they are intrusted.
All who understand this subject must
admit that the teacher is called to labor
in a field of vast influence and Importance.
