Stats School Fund:

Some uneasiness has been felt Among
the people of our county lest We should
fail to receive our apportionfi1eht of the
State School Fund because the amount
levied by the county board of supervisors
for school purposes has not, or may not
be collected at the time of the apportioi'
ment By the state superintendent.
The apportionment of the state school
fund dds not depend directly upon the
collection of the tax, but upon the certi-
fled statement Of the clerk of the board
that the requisite amount has been dlrec-
ted to be raised by the county board of
supervisors.
The trainers of the law seem to have
had in view such contingency as the
failure tc collect the taxes, and so worded
it, that such failure should deprive the
schools of their apportonment of the
school fund. See sec. 5, chap. "a of the
revised statutes, or page II of the school
code of 1870.
In order that there should he no doubt
upon This point, wrote to Senator Little
requesting him to confer with the state
superintendent and obtain his positive as
surance that our county should receive its
apportionment of The school fund, or, 9TH
erwise ehdeavor to procure the necessary
legislation.
The following letter from Senator Listls
in reply, sets the matter at rest;
MADISON, Feb. 9th, 1871.
Mr. PARKS, Dear Sir Yours | reteiy-
ed and have been to see the Dept State
Superintendent, and he says the school

has been levied, and on that certificate

FAYETTEVILLE, TENNESSEE
Thursday Morning, June Is, 1871
The French situation

me french Situation.
The public, thoroughly wearied
with the unsatisfactory details,
ceased to take much interest in
the events transpiring on French
Soil but to the reflective mind,
accustomed to study the chances
of the future from the vantage
ground OF the present, these events
arc full of the gravest Importance,
not merely to France but to chris
tendon. A hundred years ago,
and neither wars nor revolutions
on the other side Of the Atlantic
affected seriously communities in
the western hemisphere, and we
could contemplate with compare
tive serenity and indifference the
rise and fall of dynasties and
governments, the overthrow of
long-established institutions, and
all the commissions which accom-.
pany these periodical outbursts of
popular fury. But the era of iso.
lation is at an end. Steam and
lightning have bridged over the
abyss Of space, and nations,
whether they will or not, are
bound together in one common
family, and to a certain extent, at
least, must share one another's
ills. The troubles in France are
felt more or less in every COM
mercial centre of the globe; the
prices OF the great staples, in our
own markets and elsewhere, are
influenced by the shadow of that
red flag chscrippled the ener-
gies Of a gallant and enterprising
people, closing the doors of COM
merce, and deranging every de.
partment of business from highest
to lowest.
The instruction now dead in
its chosen lair, has been SO cause.
less, 50 brutal, SO utterly blind
and mad from the beginning, that
it failed to arouse the sympathy
of single intelligent person.
The miserable character of one
belligerent partially obscurcd the
plumbers, the seemingly incurablt
weakness of the other; and al
though there is every reason to
suppose that matters will decided.
ly improve, it is a problem which
nothing but time can solve. One
thing alone is certain. Let it be
called by whatever name they
choose, whether republic, limited
monarchy or empire, France, if
she is to be saved from chronic
anarchy, must have a govern,
ment SO strong that it will verge
on despOtism. For liberty as we
understand it in America, the
mass of the French people are as
totally unfit as they were a centu,
ry ago. They will not, cannot
govern themselves; they have
tried again and again, always
failed, and very probably always
will fail. They need a ruler
with clear head, tough heart and
stout arm; and the sooner this
sort of a president, king, or EN-.
peror appears upon the scene and
assumes command, the better for
France and for the world.
