mHE FALSE EDUCATION OF OUR DAUGHTERS
-1he English nObleman who sends to Paris
Tor his daughters dresses is reasonably certain
that he, and his daughters husband after him

that the habits of luxury in which his child is
reared untit her for the duties of the life to
which she will in all likelihood be calIed-that
ne cannot hope that his family wealth can
long survive him, any more than that his
daughter will love man to whom that wealth

walton alike tell him that wealth in this country
rarely continues in family three generations.
and that at any time he may find himself
poor man again. Yet he regulates his life and
that OF his children as if his wealth and theirs
were assured forever, and as though the habits |
OF a lifetime were to be broken like wiSps of |
straw. His daughters are not fit to marry any

The Lost Races Of America.

The Prescott (Arizona) Miner states
that Mr., McKiunie who has for some time
been exploring the tract ofland on which
he lives, in the valley of Salt River, dis
covered an extensive mound in which he
made excavations Mt two points. At both
points, after removing the earth to the
depth of two feet, he found apartments
from nine to eleven feet square, regularly
built, with cement still cliuging to the
wall. In these rooms were found various
agricultural implements, utensils & wea-
pons, all made of stone, and the bones
and teeth of animals. Mr.. McKinnie is
preparing to send a number of these
interesting relics to the Smithsonian In
stiute at Washington. The Santa Fe Post
Of a late date also mentions that * Gov.
Army, who has returned from a tour
through the western part Of New Mexico,
discovered the ruins Of seventeen towns,
and collected many relics of the lost
races that once. inhabited them. In some
ofthese ruins the walls ofthe houses were
built OF stone, but the majority are adob,.

The Jeff Davis SeandaI.

We find in the dispatches OF last Fri
day IRON Memphis, Tenn. the follow
ing, over the signature of Jefferson Da-
Wis the President Of the late Confeder-
ate Government, in regard to the scan
dalous report that has been circulated
against him by his enemics-the radi-
calls aud carpet-baggers in the South:
Before and since my arrival in Mem
phis this day week, my attention has
been called TO slanderous articles in GER
tain Radical papers, which attack my
private character, in connection with
that Of a lady, who, it is falsely stated,
was travelling under my charge. 1t is
deemed due to myself, as well as to my
personal friends, to state unequivocally
and without delay that the story in whole
and in all its essential parts is unmis-
takably the instigation of malice, and is
hereby pronounced utterly false"
The reader will also find in another
column, an article taken from the Mem
phis Appeal, in defence of Mr.. Davis,
and which pronounces the accusation
made through the Louisville Com
mercial against him as being utter
ly false. We were somewhat sur
prised to find that our cotempora-
ries of the Knoxville Chr onicle, had
50 far dlsregarded decency, morality and
religion, as to give place in their col
umns to such n slanderous report upon
the private character OF n man who is,
and always will be, loved by the South
ern people. No true Southern man will
do him the injustice to circulate such a
report rs has been circulated by the
Radical Press ofour State and elsewhere.
We regard the Chronicle as one Of the
best newspapers ever published in Knox
vile, and have been greatly surprised to
know that such an misunderstanding
the private character of the leader of
the Southern people-bas been pub
lished in its columns. We hope the
editors of the Chronicle will never again
allow such a thing to appear in their
paper.
While Mr.. Davis is manly enough,
and has the courage to give the lie to
the dirty Islander, he expected nothing
else when he returned to the States but
SANDER, abuse and misrepresentation.
rhe'future historian will do justice to
the life and character of Mr.. Davis, for
entertaining the principles Which he
docs, aud having occupied the position
he did, he anticipated falsehood, SANDER
and abuse.
We speak soberly when we refer to
the fact that Isaih was murdered for
speaking unpalatable truths; John the
Baptist was beheaded for giving utter
ance to his thoughts, and Paul was
martyred for his sentiments. "False-
hood may have its hour" but there will
be a resurrection of regulations.
The statement found birth at the hands
of Radicalism-that party which dis
cover nothing too low for its love, OF
too noble for its hatred; nothing too sa-
cred for its attacks, or too deserving for
its aspersions.

A Law for the South and Another for


The Washington Patriot says: at is
semi-oaicially announced by the Com
missioner Of Pensions that in admins
tering the act of of Feb. IA, 1871, grant
ing pensions to the survivors of the wal
of 1912, which witnesses testify to the
loyalty OF a claimant their own loyalty
must be shown by the certificate Of an
officer Of the United States Court, a
United States Commissioner, or an Off
Ger of the Internal Revenue Bureau.
The rule applies only to the South, and
no question is raised at the North. By
this bigoted regulation there is to be one
law for the Northern people and another
for the Southern. According to the
usual form heretofore in similar cases, n
claimant was required to make oath that
he had at no time rendered "aid and
comfort to the rebellion, and to prove
the anne by the affidavits of two disin-
terested witnesses, whose credibility had
to be certified to by the clerk of q court
Of record. But now the Southern sol
der is obliged to prove the loyalty of
his tCitaeSseS by a certificate which it
may be impracticable to obtain. Acclaim
ant may be able to establish his rights
by twenty witnesses, and if they happen
voluntarily or compulsorily to have aided
the rebellion, then the veteran who
fought for his country is excluded from
a pension. Human ingenuity could
hardly devise a more wicked continuance
to deprive old Southern soldiers of their
Just rights. 1t is not only mean, but
malignant, and draws a discrimination
between the veterans of the North and
South, which every candid mind will de-
u as outrageous. These men were
engaged in war against a foreign foe
nearly half a century before the rebellion
commenced, and yet they are pursued
with all the yindictive malice of recent
enemies. This is a sure way Of keeping
the wounds of strife open, and it could
ohly have been contrived for some such
unworthy purpose"

The States Interest in Turnpikes.

The Secretary ofState has issued a cir
cular calling on all turnpike companies,
in which the State is a stakeholder, to
make the reports required by law and to
forward any dividends which may be
due the State. The State is interested
to the amount of $2,1OO,OO0.
The following turnpike companies have
made payments;
Lebanon Sparta paid in July, 1870,
1920 43;in January, 1871, 5000 30; No
lensville in February, 1871, paid 1920;
Gatlatin Turnpikepa paid on the 9th Of July,
1871, $1,325.

"The Thieying Carpet-B aggers."

The New York Tribune is making
vigorous war upon "the thieving carpet,
baggers." 1t frankly admits hat there
are carpet-baggers in the South "whc
are knaves and hypocrites-who, making
loud professions of zeal for Republican
ascendency and negro enfranchisement
and elevation, are mainly intent on fill
ing their pockets from the spoil o.
an impoverished, unthrifty people" The
Tribune adds the following:
"And this kind Of 'carpet-baggers
have been prominent and powerful il
the legislation and administration Of
several Southern States, as their bloated
public expenditure, taxation and indebt-
edness, a~bundantly, d~eplorably attest
Such is the naked truth, exaggerated,
very naturally, by partisan hostility and
bitterness, but bad enough when re-
duced to its real Dimensions. This ra-
pacity has embittered the ex-R Rebels, who
were bitter enough already, and too viii
ling to believe that every Republican was
of course a canting knave. 1t has alien
ated and repealed many who would have
been Republicans ere this, had the new
State governments been thoroughly up
right and frugal, as it was imperative,
on many accounts, that they should have
been"
The Tribune says these "thieying chr
pet-baggers" have impeded reconstruc-
ton, and concludes with the following
warning to its Radical brethren:
Republicans of the South you have
a desperate struggle just ahead, and you
cannot win unless you send these vii
lains to the real. You cannot rely on
their modesty or their sense of decency;
they will push themselves forward into
the most conspicuous posts, no matter
at what peril and mischief to your cause,
unless you sternly say, Go back, thieves!'
You cannot afford to be delicate with
men who do not know what delioacy
means. Upless you show by your acts
that you detest spectators and scorn to
be led by them, you will be beaten, and
will deserve to be. You can put these
fellows where they belong if You try;
and you must try. Their effrontery will
desert them whenever they see that you
not only loathe rascality but do not hes
itate to show your loathing."
1t will be seen that the Tribune de-
nounces tho carpet-baggers as strongly
us ever the Democrats did. Mr.. Gree
ley, during his trip through a portion of
the South, had opportunities Of learning
the character Of these harpies and he
has the manliness to blurt it out.

In connection with an account of the
destruction Of the above arsenal is the fol-
lowing;
There were four barrels ofpowder in the
magazine, which exploded. 1t was four
teen feet square, double walls, with slate
roof. This building was not only entire
ly destroyed, but the foundation injured
several feet below the level of the ground,
and the bricks scatteredi in all directions;
of them went through a blacksmith
shop about q quarter of mile distant
from the place Of explosion. The houses
near by were SO much damaged that
only the cracked walls are standing.
The building in which are stored 5000
stand Of arms, was considerably damaged.
The slate Roof, for a distance of nearly
300 feet looks as though it had been
plowed in irregular burrows.
